*Hi everyone sorry for the late update. Hope you enjoy *
Callie's POV
Mer is getting so drunk and I cannot wait for her to leave. Arizona stopped drinking a while ago. I was still drinking. I thought it would be better if I was drunk if Arizona's decides to tell me "screw you". Arizona was the responsible one in the room, only for tonight. When Mer finally had enough she was slowly falling asleep on the couch and before she could doze off, Arizona decided to take her to her room. I offered to help but Arizona said I would be more trouble than help because I was a little tipsy as well.
Arizona's POV
Helping Mer to her room gave me time to collect my thoughts. Knowing Callie she won't let me go to bed without continuing our conversation or she might. Who knows, I just have to be prepared. I also don't want to go to bed with this unresolved conversation. I told a very drunk Meredith of what I was about to tell Callie. Meredith then replied with her thoughts on what I said but I don't have a clue what she said. It was like she was speaking Italian of French. It might even be some kind of alien language, who knows?
I was making my way back to Callie. I tried to be as quick as possible with Meredith because I know that a tipsy Callie wants two things. She either wants to get laid and if that doesn't work she goes to bed instantly. It's as if sex is the only thing that can keep her awake. I'm not in a hurry for a horny Callie. I'm in a hurry to tell her my side. I wanted to give her my reply and tonight I'll make sure she stays awake or I'll try. When I got there she was waiting for me on the couch. I didn't waste any time to tell her.
Arizona
Knowing you, you probably want to go to sleep right now.
Callie
Or we could?
Arizona
No Calliope Torres. That is not happening tonight. We need to talk first.
Callie
Can we not talk? Not right now please.
Arizona
We have to!
Callie
I'm going to fall asleep on you and you'll be so pissed.
Arizona
No you won't fall asleep. I'll be quick.
Callie
Is it bad?
Arizona
No it's not.
What I want to say to you is not bad or maybe part of it is but I'll start with the good. Calliope I love you. I love you so much it hurts. I love you so much that I seem to lose myself when you are not around. We don't even have to be together. I just want you around. Like when doctor Herman died and you were there. When you are in New York, I don't have that. I can't run to you and when you had Penny it was even worse. You were my person. You were the one I felt safe with. You were everything. You still are but I don't trust you. You left when you promised to stay forever and yes I gave you every reason to run but still you let me to believe that you'll stay.
Callie
You let me to believe that you won't cheat.
Arizona
Callie, don't fight me. Listen please.
We both made mistakes. Mine was probably the one that had the domino effect which placed us where we are now. You are the love of my life. You and Sofia are everything to me. You however did things. Things I'm not sure how to forgive. You decided to take my child away. Not because you had something great waiting for you on the other side but because of another woman in your life. Now you want me to believe that I'm your true love? You had a chance to go away with me to Africa but you were miserable but when she went you wanted to go, no matter who you hurt in the process. Why should I believe what you say? I gave you everything. I gave you things I didn't even want. I never got my Spain vacation or my chickens. All I gained was a hospital which cost me my leg and wheelie sneaks. I didn't even want a hospital. I think loving you this hard breaks me. All I want to do is be with you but being with you hurts. It hurts because I gave you everything and still it didn't work. We survived a lot we survived nearly losing each other to crashes. We survived your family, a car crash and a plane crash but we couldn't survive our marriage.
What if I can't give you what you want? Like another kid or maybe move somewhere with you? Will you walk out again?
Will you Callie?
Oh great, you fell asleep.
Callie's POV
Well actually I didn't fall asleep. I just couldn't deal with hearing how hurt she is. So I closed my eyes and started pretending that I was asleep. I can hear her calling my name to wake up. I can even feel her girly hands attempting to hit me. She is not winning though. I should've been an actress with these skills. I felt how she got up and then she went to bed. I wanted to get into bed next to her but I had to keep on pretending I was asleep. I had a banger headache and this guilt feeling is keeping me from sleeping. I'm contemplating my life. I'm thinking of ways to make it up to her. I'm hating myself for being a coward. I'm a coward for pretending to fall asleep. I guess I was feeling too tipsy to deal with this. I also think she'd take me seriously if I was sober. I should reply to her concerns when I'm sober. I mean she already find it hard to believe that I love her. I tried to get at least a few hours sleep. We are heading back to Seattle in the morning and I can already see the hangover I'll have.
I hope she is okay. I hope she is not too angry and I hope that she'll be ready to talk tomorrow.
I fell asleep. I think I slept for like almost an hour( it was three actually) then Arizona's alarm went off. She came out of the bedroom looking so hot. Sleepy Arizona is so sexy.
Arizona
You look like you need coffee.
Callie
I do need coffee yes.
Arizona
I'll go get us coffee after my shower.
Callie
No don't worry we can grab coffee on our way to the airport.
Arizona
I actually wanted to try the café's croissants.
Callie
Well okay then.
Arizona's POV
I actually just needed to get out of this hotel room. I just wanted some air. I'm irritated that Callie fell asleep especially since she knows I'm not someone who speaks about my feelings easily. I guess it's my own fault. I knew she was tipsy and would fall asleep. The setting for us to speak was just right so that's why I felt I had to get my feelings out. Yes, I know she was tipsy but still yesterday was the right time to talk. She won her Harper Avery. I was feeling extra special because she thanked me. She told me she loved me and I just wanted to tell her I love her too but she fell asleep before we could have a kiss to seal the confessions.
I got out off the shower and got dressed. I hear Mer's voice outside and I'm thinking great because now Callie won't want to come with me to the coffee shop. I make my way out of the bedroom to go to the café and I see three coffees and three croissants. Dammit Meredith Grey.
Callie
Hey look, Mer got us coffee and croissants.
Arizona
Oooh Yay. Also she should get you whatever she got that made her lose her hangover.
Meredith
I don't get hangovers anymore.
Arizona
Well we still need to get Callie something. She looks terrible.
Callie
Wow thank you Dr Robbins that's so nice of you.
Arizona
You can't handle hangovers.
Callie
And you can't handle me.
Arizona
Are you sure, Calliope? Like 100% sure?
Meredith
Do you two want the room perhaps?
Arizona
What?
Meredith
You are flirting.
Arizona
No we are not.
Meredith
Yes you are. Anyway I need to go get ready. Meet you in an hour in the foyer?
Callie
Yeah. I don't have a lot to pack. I'm basically done. Arizona's done too so we won't take too long.
Meredith
Oh I see.
Arizona
No Meredith, it's not what you think.
Callie
Yes get that look of your face. I wasn't implying anything.
Meredith
Are you sure, Calliope? Like 100% sure?
Callie
Hey, you know no one gets to call me that besides this one of course.
Arizona
And did you just quote me?
Meredith
I'll see you after your quickie.
Arizona
We are not…
Callie
Just leave her, besides I kind of walked right into that one.
All I wanted to do now was ask Callie what she thought about last night. She looked like she had a really bad hangover. She probably has a really bad headache. I know she hates my nagging when she has a headache. So maybe I should rather not nag her about last night. Oh screw this I'll just ask her because she started this all. She was the one who got all nostalgic.
I see her getting up and cleaning up after her. She walked to the bathroom probably to wash her face and I'm getting myself ready to ask about last night when she comes back. While Callie was in the bathroom her phone rang. There was no name just a number. I thought it might be about Sofia so I opted to pick it up. My voice didn't sound familiar to the person on the other side. I realized that it was Penny whom I was talking to. She got really irritated that I picked up Callie's phone. She obviously made her own assumptions about why I'm answering Callie's phone. Callie came out of the bathroom and I told her Penny called. She asked what Penny wanted and I couldn't answer because Penny hung up before she said why she was calling. It bothered me that Penny was calling her because I thought they broke up. I thought she is staying in Seattle. Why is Penny still calling her? All these thoughts ran through my mind and then Callie said it could be Penny wanting to congratulate her on her Harper Avery. It makes sense.
After I calmed my thoughts I readied myself for asking Callie about last night.
Arizona
Callie, can we talk?
Callie
Yes we can.
Arizona
You running for president now?
Callie
What?
Arizona
Isn't that what Obama said?
Callie
Oh my God you suck at jokes. Please stop making jokes.
Arizona
You keep on saying I suck at jokes but you laugh at them.
Callie
I laugh because you try so hard but they still suck.
Anyway , what did you want to talk about?
Arizona
You know yesterday when you told me all those things.
Callie
What did I tell you?
Arizona
About how much you love me?
Callie
Yes and I meant it. I meant every word. What about it?
Arizona
Well then I said a few things and I was wondering what you felt about what I said.
Callie
You said a few things?
Arizona
Yes last night after I took Mer to her room.
Callie
What did you say? Or what did we talk about?
Oh Great. This is what you get for talking to a drunk person. They forget what happened and the sober one is the idiot. This is just great. How could I have been so stupid? Now I'll have to tell her everything again. As if it wasn't hard enough to open up to her the first time.
