*Again guys I have no medical experience, bear with me. Enjoy the chapter!*
Arizona's POV
It's been a week since the accident. Most of the week I had chemotherapy and Callie was by my side every step of the way. She looks so tired because she has to run between the hospital and the house. She sleeps at my house at night and in the morning after she drops Sofia of at school she comes to the hospital. She stays at hospital till eleven o clock at night because that's when the babysitter leaves. Some nights Mer had Sofia and when Mer had Sofia, Callie slept here. I can see in her eyes that she is tired but I know she won't admit it. I'm happy to go home today. Amelia is happy with the size of the tumour. All of it is nearly gone. I just have to come back for chemo for a couple of times. So Amelia said I can go home but I have to promise to listen to Callie because she knows best. That is one promise I made knowing that I might regret it later.
After Amelia gave us all the instructions and next appointments, Callie took me home. I have to admit I love it when she takes care of me even though I don't want her to. The only reason I don't want her to look after me is because when she is done looking after me and when she leaves, I'll have to start over again. There is nothing worse than starting over without Callie. She knows my next move and thoughts before I knew them. She knew my ways and what I needed better than I knew it myself. But for now I will not be thinking of the day she leaves and I'd rather embrace the time I have with her.
She hasn't spoken to Penny in a while or maybe she has and I just don't know about it. All I want to do is ask her about Penny. I want to tell her I heard what she said the other night but also I don't want to complicate things. This week we were good together. We didn't fight. We laughed and we even agreed on a few things. I don't want to spoil the vibe we are having now. I don't want to complicate the vibe with all the "love" talks. When we got home I immediately spot the difference of having Callie in my house. The top of the toothpaste is lying around. My bed isn't made. This used to irritate me but now it made me smile because I kind of missed it. She knew how how much it worked on my nerves and she started to apologise.
Callie
I'm sorry I didn't make the bed.
Arizona
It's fine you didn't have to make "MY" made
Callie
Is there a reason you have emphasis on "MY"?
Arizona
Well you said "the bed" like it is our bed.
Callie
I'm sorry. I didn't mean…
Arizona
No need to feel awkward now Callie. I'm actually happy that you slept in my bed.
Callie
You are?
Arizona
Yes, now my bed smells like you.
Callie
Okay anyway, I'm picking up Sofia from school in a bit but I can fix you something to eat if you want.
Arizona
Callie, relax I can make my own food.
Callie
I know you can but you need to rest up.
Arizona
Go get our girl.
Callie
Okay but call me if something happens.
Arizona
Yeah…. Yeah!
Callie
I'm serious Arizona!
Arizona
Yes fine I'll call, stop being so paranoid.
Callie's POV
I know she won't call but I had to get out of the house. Arizona just made everything super awkward just now. Implying that she likes the smell of me in her bed makes me want to do all kinds of things to her. Right now I keep on thinking of all the different things I should have said rather than changing the subject. All the possible outcomes are giving me butterflies. When I got to Sofia's school I see Mer pulling up and I just had to talk to her to get over this butterflies.
Callie
Hi,
Meredith
Hi, you should've called and then I could've picked up Sofia. I'd be happy to pick up the girls while you getting Arizona settled.
Callie
I needed to get out of the house. I wanted a cheese burger so bad.
Meredith
Now why don't you just go buy you a cheese burger?
Callie
I mean I want a cheeseburger. You know, a cheese burger.
Meredith
Oh that kind of burger. I don't know what to say to you because whatever I say, you'll just do the opposite.
Callie
She is making it so hard. She keeps on flirting and her flirting just makes the cravings for cheese burgers more.
Meredith
Don't have a cheese burger.
Callie
What?
Meredith
You'll do the opposite.
Callie
You are not helping. You are supposed to help me forget about the cheese burger.
Meredith
Oh come on, no matter how hard I try to make you forget, you'll remember. She is always on your mind. Not that you want to think about her all the time but because you just can't help it. Even when you try to move on, you are always comparing aren't you.
Callie
You are not being a real good friend right now.
Meredith
I know, I'm too busy being a best friend
Sofia
Mamma hurry up, mommy is waiting for us.
Callie
Come over tonight.
Meredith
I can't I'm on call.
Right now I'm so pissed at myself for telling Mer. I should've known talking to her would just make the craving worse. She is probably right, she is my best friend. When Mark died I never had anyone to confide in. I started talking to Mer and ever since she has been my confidant. Back when Sofia and I came home, Arizona already made food for all of us. I asked her why she isn't resting and she told me to relax because she is not sick. She is capable of making food and doing daily routine things and who am I to argue with her. I mean she is old enough and she is a doctor so she would know when she is pushing things too far.
This week also went by really fast. There were some rough times. I pick her up from the bathroom floor from time to time. She was so tired because of the chemo therapy. Tomorrow is the last day of her treatment and she is probably very happy about it. She asked that I, she and Sofia have a lazy night. She wanted to watch movies and just appreciate the time we have together. She also wanted to just feel grateful and blessed that she is nearly done with this awful time in her life. I, of course, agreed to it. Sofia barely made it through the first movie and then she fell asleep. I carried her to her room and tucked her in. When I got back I asked Arizona if she wanted to get ready for bed but she asked that we continue to watch the movies. I didn't say no. Actually I was kinda hoping she'd say that. So we watched movies. We were laughing and giggling so hard . We didn't even realize that we kept on falling over each other's laps. I didn't even realize that we were so close to each other. We were having too much fun to realize that we are dangerously close to each other. When the movie got to the sadder part all I wanted to do is cuddle her. It was like she read my mind because she moved closer to me. She then laid her head on my shoulder. I moved myself into a more comfortable position so she could be more comfortable but she took me moving, the wrong way.
Arizona
I'm sorry; I didn't know you didn't want this.
Callie
What? No, you are getting this all wrong. I'm trying to make myself comfortable so you could be comfortable.
Arizona
Oh, awkward!
Callie
Yeah, I want this. For God sake if it was up to me, I'd open my legs so you could lie between them.
Arizona
Then why don't you open them or do I have to beg.
Callie
That sounds wrong on so many levels.
Arizona
I know right but you know what I mean.
Callie
Yes I do, now come over here and shut up. I'm trying to enjoy the movie.
I pulled her into me. She laid between my legs and it was if though she had never left. I stroked her hair and she looked like she is right where she belongs. Or this is what it feels like to me. When the movie finished I asked her what she thought about the movie. I didn't get a response. When I looked down to see what see was doing, I found her asleep. I didn't want to wake her up because I love it when she falls asleep on my boobs. I have to wake her up though because she needs a good night's rest and this couch will mess up my back. So I woke her up and told her that she has to go to bed. She then asked if I'm coming. She didn't ask it in a flirty way. I wanted to say yes so bad. I opened my mouth to say no but I blurted out, in a very excited voice,"YES". Now that I've blurted that out, I can't take it back. When we got to her room, my instincts were to just follow whatever she was doing. She told me not to worry. She assured me that we won't have sex and that we would just be cuddling till she falls asleep again. She even said I can leave once she is asleep if I don't want to stay.
She almost fell asleep immediately. I remembered that we left our phones down stairs and I got up to go get it. She must've felt me getting up. I felt her hand taking mine. She had a firm grip and I couldn't understand why she is holding on so tight. I was under the impression that she is asleep.
Arizona
Callie, don't go..
Callie
Actually, I was…
Arizona
I know I said you can go when I'm asleep but please don't go.
Callie
I'm not going anywhere; I got up to go get our phones.
Arizona
Oh, where's our phones?
Callie
Downstairs, on the coffee table. I'll go get it and then I'll come back.
Arizona
Great your back.
Callie
Yes I am, now go back to sleep, tomorrow is a long day.
Arizona
Callie, don't go.
Callie
What? I'm not going. I'm right here with you.
Arizona
No, I mean don't go as in, DON'T GO.
Callie
I don't know what that means, Arizona.
Arizona
I want to tell you something or rather I want to ask you something.
Callie
You know can tell or ask me anything.
Arizona
Oh God I hope you don't freak out.
