Chapter 8

Arizona Robbins was not used to spending the night with anyone. After the 'deed' was done, she would grab her clothes and leave the way she came, it was just not her thing to stay for a minute longer. She was never that person who sought intimacy after having sex. She just couldn't wait to get out as soon as she was done coming.

That was all true until Callie. Maybe it was that she didn't know much about her or that the brunette listened and let her talk before throwing out assumptions about her, or it was just Callie being Callie. All in all, she liked this.

Last night after the two women were done swimming in the ocean alone, the blonde had happily taken on the Latina's offer to go to her hotel room instead. How could she say no? That sexy hair slicked back still dripping with water, that body, that skin. What irked her most was how she hadn't seen Callie orgasm, seeing her being the most vulnerable as she can ever be and coming undone by her fingers or her tongue or well both. Thankfully that situation was rectified in Callie's hotel room… Multiple times in fact. She had watched her come and then come some more. It was almost like she was learning new things about the other woman. Like what she liked in bed, she knew it wasn't anything concrete, but hey, baby steps right? Those counted for something.

"You're thinking too hard Sugar lips," Callie said as she kissed her bare shoulder.

With the sun being back up and watching it rise from the Captain's bedroom with her cuddled up behind her had been an experience. She couldn't remember the last time she saw the sun rise, probably when she was still little.

Right now, the two of them were wrapped up in a thin sheet as Callie spooned her from behind.

"What's wrong Miss. Robbins?"

"Nothing."

"You sure?"

"Yeah."

Callie cuddled closer to her as her palm rested on her abdomen drawing light cycles on her skin.

"We should get up."

"Don't wanna. You're too cozy." Callie chuckled. "Well, Sergeant Avery and Sargent Robbins might come barreling in and do you really want them to see you naked?"

"Oh please, I heard Jackson sneaking in last night, so he's not a problem, he's at the beach house. My brother on the other hand? Did you have to talk about him while we're in bed? Naked?"

"I can't help it, I'm a Marine, I'm trained to think ahead. To always be prepared."

Arizona sighed. "When do you have to go back?"

"Why do you keep asking me that?"

"Honestly, because I know you. You would just poof into thin air before saying goodbye and what's to say when I see you next. Or if I see you next? You could be on the other side of the country fucking some other blonde?"

"Are you jealous?" Callie asked.

"No."

Callie decided to let that go. Sometimes she couldn't understand Arizona, she asked her if she was expecting a relationship and then she pretended that they were already dating.

"I leave tomorrow."

"Do you have to go?"

"Some of us work for a living." Callie realized her mistake the second she said it.

"Right, and you think I'm some burn out?"

"I did not mean that Sugar Lips!"

"Stop okay!" Arizona got off the bed and started putting her clothes on. "No more Sugar Lips, Miss Robbins or any of that crap! Danny was right, you don't know anything about me and I don't know anything about you. So, let's just stay away from each other okay. No more stopping by the beach house, no more calling me any of that, no more looking at me like that." Arizona zipped up her jeans and saw Callie wrapped up in that thin white sheet. Why did it have to compliment her skin so well?

"Please don't run away."

"I am not running away!" Arizona yelled.

"Are you sure about that? Every Time something gets remotely serious you bail. You quit whatever you start and don't see things through. I know fighting back is harder and it hurts more but something in life is just worth it." Callie ran a hand through her hair.

"No, you don't get to lecture me about anything."

"I am not lecturing you!" She said as she struggled to keep her voice in check.

"Yes, a little bit you are."

Callie grabbed her hoodie that was on the floor and put it on before walking towards the blonde.

"I want you to talk, tell me what's bothering you, that's all I ask."

"So, you could do what? Hold a therapy session? That you could tell me that it wasn't me that-that it was the situation that fucked me over? I don't need it!"

"What's bothering you Super lips? What's gotten you so worked up?" She whispered.

Arizona huffed and that nickname just spurred her on. "No, I can't. I cannot do this with you! I don't know what you are thinking, what's going on in your head. One minute you are with me and then the other you are not!"

Callie grabbed the blonde's wrist. "What do you mean I am not here? Of course I'm here with you."

"Your fiancé, have you talked about her to anyone?"

"What has that got to do with anything?"

"See, you are not done healing, how do you expect me to be over Tim!"

"I didn't even mention Tim!"

"You said that I am a burn out. I quit college because it was just too much! People looked at me with these eyes that screamed pity that they felt bad for me. I was that girl whose brother died. I didn't want to be, but I had no choice and then fucking Danny went and got enrolled so now I have to deal with that! That's why I'm not in college.

That's why I drink so that I can forget that my brother died and the other one can very much die, that I would have to put on a black dress and make a speech about how much I love him while no one gives a shit about him! It's too much! I am an artist. I paint, I sculpt, I see the beauty in everything, and these thoughts come to me and I just can't let them go! So, you should take a second before you judge. And stop with all those names okay!"

No one spoke for a while. The brunette did not expect this from her so it took a while for her to process everything that was being said. She was not judging her. She didn't even mean it. But the blonde was seeing more into it than it actually was.

"I never judged you, Arizona."

That was the first time Callie had called her by her name… and she hated it. She hated being called Arizona by her.

"I should leave."

"No, you can stay for a while until you have calmed down a bit."

"There you go again Callie! You are not my boss. This was just a fuck okay, not feelings, no emotions! That's what you wanted right? So, stop looking after me."

Callie sighed before running her hand through her hair. "I'm only going to ask you this once. What do you want from me?"

Arizona laughed bitterly.

"What do I want from you? I want nothing from you! Just go back to your port and live happily or whatever! Because this is done! God, why are you being this way?"

"I am not, something I said is having this effect on you. And I don't know what it is, so yes, please help me figure out what it is so that you are no longer mad! Because whatever you want, I'll do it! You name it and I'll do it!"

It was a wonder to the blonde how the Captain was keeping her calm for such a long time, but she could start to feel the cracks in her resolve, in her shield of armor, her stoniness.

In that moment, she knew that Callie had become more than she was, more than anyone had ever come close to being and that scared her. Callie had this effect on her that made her want to smile, actually smile and not pretend that everything was doomed, that she hurt, that everything hurt. Callie made her forget her pain, she gave her life purpose and she hated that. Who would she be if she had no pain?

She needed to let Callie go. She couldn't be that girl who waited on a letter from her lover at the shore. Even though that was exactly what she had been doing these past couple of months. As promised the letters would arrive in about a week's time but sometimes it would take a day longer. That day was absolutely shit for her. Her mind would get clouded with all of these thoughts that if Callie was okay, if Danny was okay and she hated feeling that way.

"Arizona?" The Captain tried to get her attention.

"I need to go."

"You don't have to."

"Then I need you to leave," she uttered.

"Why?"

Arizona did not have an answer for this.

"I just do."

"Okay," Callie said. "Can I at least get a hug?"

Arizona nodded as she leaned in. She pushed her feelings down. These arms will not bring her comfort, this embrace was nothing. She kept on telling herself that she was like a tape that was stuck on a particular song.

Soon enough the blonde parted from Callie and stood up and made her way to the door.

"I will keep my promise Arizona, so that's one less thing you have to worry about, okay?" She said right before the blonde could walk out of the door.

"What promise?"

"My promise of keeping Sargent Robbins safe."

"I-I, umm thank you. That thing doesn't apply to only him."

"Hmm?"

"It applies to you as well." And with that she left Callie's room and ran back to her beach house.

She wasn't sure what caused her to pour everything out like that on Callie, but she needed to get away. She could always catch up with her during lunch or something and apologize for her behavior but right now she needed a nap and maybe a shower.

Upon reaching the beach house, Arizona quickly hopped into the bathroom, her aching muscles really needed it. With the way Callie had bent her and taken her from front back and all over. Her whole body needed a good soak, but she was too tired and knew if she drew herself a bath, she would just fall asleep in the tub. After taking a quick rise, Arizona put on a long night shirt that she had, set a timer for two hours and then plopped right into bed. In two hours time, Jackson and April would be done and Teddy would start demanding that they go to the beach. Two hours seemed like the perfect nap anyway.

Soon enough the two hours passed by rather quickly. Arizona tamed her wild hair before checking in on Teddy what they were planning to do for the day.

"Beach and boys, that's all I want from Miami and booze!" Teddy said as she put a giant hat on her head.

"Alright, three Bs got it! What about April?"

"She and Jackson have already left for the beach. She came to check up on you, but you were already passed out, so I decided that I would wait for you."

"Cool, give me five minutes and then we can head that way, okay?"

Arizona got her bathing suit out for the day. Even though it was just her second day on the beach, she had started to get tanned and she loved it. Her skin needed some sun.

She opened her phone and wrote a quick text to Callie. 'Hey, can we talk? In private?' She read the message like a million times before sending was she nervous? It was a stupid message.

After changing into her bathing suit, she went to Teddy's room.

"All set?"

"Just about."

Arizona checked her messages, there was no reply.

'I know I kind of burst out on you, so can I just apologize to you? The right way? In person.' She hit send, but was a bit more aggressive this time.

"Should we text Danny and tell him to meet us here?"

"Nah, my brother can figure his way around. Let him come to us."

"Alright," Teddy said as she sank onto a beach chair.

"I need to make a call. I'll be back."

Teddy nodded.

Arizona hit dial on the number that Callie had saved into her phone 'Trouble' that's what Callie had nicknamed herself and what an apt nickname it was.

"Come on, come on, pick up!" That's when she spotted Danny.

"Hey little sis, sorry about that! I needed to go drop the Captain off at the airport."

"Wait what?"

"Captain Torres said that there was some emergency and they needed her, so she had to go back."

Arizona could feel the panic creeping in on her. "When did you drop her?"

"About an hour ago. I asked her if all of us needed to go with her, but she said that Avery and I could stay a day longer."

Arizona closed her eyes. She had done it again! Hasn't she!

She had pushed away the one person who seemed to care about her and had no one but herself to blame for it.

A/N: I couldn't hold back on the drama! I just had to, it's like a drug to me :)

What do you think should happen next? And no, I won't be writing a single chapter without the two of them interacting with each other. This is my wild series and I'm willing to embrace all wild possibilities and storylines, just maybe not Sci-fi, so shout them out in the review!

This chapter got edited weird on Fanfiction, so let me know if there are any errors.
