Chapter 9
"Be ready Friday 7pm!"-C
Arizona was looking at her phone and couldn´t hide the smile on her face. Tomorrow would be their first date. Well not the first date but the first date after the divorce.
"Dressy or casual?"- A
The blonde typed, while walking through the hospital hallway.
"Whatever you feel comfortable with. You´re hot any way."-C
That made Arizona blush. "Is she flirting?", she thought to herself.
"Well Calliope, why don´t you tell me where we´re going, so I can make sure that you can´t take your eyes off me"-A
"Oh hun, I can never take my eyes off you. It´s a surprise. You will love it."-C
"That doesn´t help much..."-A
Callie was at home, enjoying the conversation with Arizona. She had everything sorted out and was excited already.
Laughing at the last text she could imagine Arizona´s pout on her face right now, deciding to have a little fun flirting with her blonde she typed…
"You could wear that sexy red dress and high heels and I promise you my eyes won´t be the only thing all over you..."-C
Completely lost in her phone Arizona didn´t realize where she was going and run into another doctor…
"What the…"
"I´m so sorry!" Arizona looked up and couldn´t believe who was standing right in front of her
"Arizona" "Penny" both women said at the same time.
Arizona took a deep breath and started talking.
"Sorry, I didn´t look where I was going." the peds surgeon tried to be polite.
"Well, I realized that already!" Penny looked down on the floor and saw a mess of paperwork lying there, but also a phone. Deciding to take the chance she picked it up and looked on the screen.
"You´re texting Callie, now I can understand you didn´t pay attention. Did she tell you that we´re going out tonight?",
Penny knew it was a risky thing to say but she has nothing to loose. This was the only way to mess with Arizona´s head.
"No she didn´t and it´s not my business anyway. Now would you mind..." Arizona took her phone out of Penny´s hand and walked straight to her office.
Sitting down behind her desk, she closed her eyes. "Is Callie messing with me? Is Penny messing with me?" a bunch of crazy thoughts went through her head. Callie and her are not together, so actually she shouldn´t be mad IF Callie goes out with Penny but why did the brunette act like she did, it was so much fun and carefree since their talk with Sofia, plus Callie promised her that Penny would never be there again.
Opening her eyes she checked her phone. "At least it´s not broken" she said to herself. Seeing that her shift ends in 10 minutes, she decided to go and get changed. Arizona just wanted to leave the hospital now.
The blonde was driving home after stopping at a chinese restaurant to get some dinner to go. Sofia was at Callie´s, so she didn´t need to worry about the food.
Her day started so good and now she felt so bad.
She was almost finished with her dinner when her phone rings.
Closing her eyes to manage her emotions…
"Hello"
"Hey Arizona, here is someone who wants to say goodnight to you" Callie says
"Hey mommy, I can´t sleep and want to say good night to you" Sofia speaks with a sleepy voice
"Oh baby girl it´s late already, mommy loves you. Let momma sing something to you and you will sleep like a baby. Alright munchkin, I miss you and love you to the moon and back"
"Love you too mommy, goodnight"
Before Arizona could end the call, Callie says,
"Hey are you alright?" her voice full of concern
"Why wouldn´t I be?" Arizona answered
"Okay...listen. I will sing for Sofia and then call you back, just give me a minute." Callie didn´t wait for any responds and just ended the call.
Not even 10 minutes later and the phone was ringing again…
"Callie" Arizona answered coldly, she didn´t know why, she was just completely lost in her emotions.
"Okay, tell me what´s wrong!" It wasn´t a question.
"What are doing tonight?" Arizona asked.
"Well, I just sang our daughter back to sleep and now I´m sitting on my couch alone and worry what´s wrong with you. You didn´t reply on my last text. I...Arizona I… I didn´t mean it. I´m sorry if it was a little too much. I just...I enjoyed the flirting a little and… Sorry." Callie´s voice was small
"I was about to reply when I ran into Penny..."
"What did she say?"
"That you are going out with her tonight."
"And you believed what she said?" Callie was surprisingly calm
"Well, no but yes. I was a mess. I mean we are not exclusive or anything. Even when you go out with her or anybody else, it´s not place to get mad. But somehow it still pissed me off and then I thought, you would never go out with her again because you promised Sofia and I...I was just over thinking..."
"Arizona, I promised that to Sofia and you. I know we are not together right now or exclusive like you said but you are the mother of my daughter Arizona do you hear me. You are my family, we will always be exclusive from now on because there is nobody else in the world I want." Callie finished her speech.
"She just messed with me and I kind of knew it but still she got to me and I hate that. I hate to be so vulnerable."
"I know babe, I´ll talk to her."
"Don´t...She just wants attention. So...are we still going out tomorrow?" Arizona wasn´t 100% sure anymore
"There is nothing I would rather do!"
"That´s great….Goodnight Calliope" the blonde says with a calm voice.
"Arizona?"
"Mhh..."
"You might wear a jacket or something because we will be outside a lot, I don´t want you to get cold." Callie gave a little hint on their date.
"Thank you"
Arizona was relieved, it was so much easier to talk to Callie recently and somehow Callie managed to be calm.
It was now 6.55pm on Friday and Arizona was freaking out. She was dressed and ready to go but she was freaking out. She was nervous, why though? It´s just Callie, her Callie. But then again maybe that´s the point. It was her Callie. Arizona found herself in front of the mirror looking at herself with a big smile on her face. Her Calliope.
Finally there was a knock at the door…
Opening the door with a shaky hand, her heart skipped a beat….
Callie was looking at her with a megawatt smile. Wearing her hot leather jacket, a black dress and high heels.
"Holy shit" Arizona thought to herself, looking up and down at Callie.
"Arizona?" Callie asked after a few second with a smirk on her face.
"Mhh?" was everything the blonde managed to say.
"Are you just gonna stand there and look or are we actually going on a date?" Callie joked, enjoying the situation. This was exactly what the brunette hoped to see.
Shaking her head and taking a breath Arizona said…
"Of course, we are going out! You are...You look...You´re beautiful Calliope." She finally managed to get some words together.
"Thank you. You are stunning." Callie said with a smile.
Arizona indeed was wearing a red dress and high heels with a light jacket. Callie loved it.
"Ready?" the brunette asked and holding her hand for Arizona to take.
"Absolutely!" Arizona gratefully took Callie´s hand and pulled her door closed.
After a 20 minute drive, Callie finally parked her car.
"We are there."
Arizona was looking out of the window and was a little confused.
"We are at a port, Callie?"
Laughing at Arizona´s statement, Callie said…
"I know babe. I booked us a table on one of those ferry restaurants. It will go up and down the bay while we have a perfect dinner."
"Oh I like the sound of that!" the blonde said almost jumping out of the car.
After a short walk, Callie lead Arizona on a semi big boat with small lights and flowers. Music playing in the background.
"Ahm...Callie. Dear! That´s a private boat. There is just one table and I don´t think we are on the right boat." Arizona couldn´t believe that they were in the right place.
"Well, I might have booked a private boat for us." Callie said with a shy smile.
"Seriously?"
"Yes. I wanted to do something special and here it´s just us, we can talk and just be our self."
Arizona was looking into brown eyes…taking a few steps forward she said…
"I love it, Calliope. Thank you!" leaning forward she pressed a light kiss on Callie´s lips before turning around and walking over to the waiter.
They had a perfect dinner, conversation was flowing easily even stealing a few kisses here and there.
Finally the dessert arrived and Arizona asked…
"So, how is your family? Are you talking to them?" the blonde knew it was difficult for Callie but she didn´t know if maybe something had changed in the meantime.
"I´m talking to dad a lot now, still thanks to you. Aria is doing great managing a lot of the hotel business now and mum is just mum...we talk at birthdays or Christmas but not like it´s suppose to be as mother and daughter."
"I´m sorry she still hasn´t come around. But you´re talking to your dad that´s great."
Arizona put her hand on Callie´s
"It is, most of the time" Callie said with a laugh.
"Why?"
"Well let´s just say he put a lot of effort in it to pull my head out of my ass to accept my feelings and get my family back." the brunette pulled Arizona´s hand up and placed a small kiss on her hand.
"Are you serious?"
"He respects you since that day you gave him that speech. He told me the whole time that I´m making a mistake and that he could accept me being married to you but he couldn´t accept me throwing away my marriage, commitment and vows….. It was not easy with him but we are good now. He knows that we are on a date and actually wants me to call him tomorrow to tell him how it went." Callie finished with a smile.
"That´s great, he cares. He loves you so much and Sofia...so, what will you tell him tomorrow?"
Arizona winks.
"Well, it´s going pretty good don´t you think?"
"It is" Arizona leaned forward and kissed Callie.
"Can I ask you something?" the blonde questioned.
"Of course..."
"Where do we go from here?"
"As soon as we´re back at the port, we will go to my car and…." Callie wasn´t able to finish.
"Callie, you know what I mean..:"
"I want us to go out more times, Emely is a great babysitter and great with Sofia, I trust her. So maybe we can go out once a week? Just us, adults being hot and in love..." Callie once again wasn´t able to finish.
"You´re in love with me?"
Looking into blue eyes Callie said.
"I´m in love with you Arizona, more than ever. And I want us to be back together. No worries about crazy ex girlfriends or whatever. I want to be your girlfriend. So, will you be my girlfriend Arizona?"
Arizona was studying Callie´s expressions, taking a second to just understand what just happened.
TBC...
Cliffhanger :D Sorry.
What will Arizona say?
