Chapter 14
"Arizona?" Callie called when she entered the quiet apartment, the lights in the living room were on but no one was there, it was about 45 minutes after she sent Arizona up here.
Callie spent some time talking to Joe about some arrangements for the pub, weeks ago they had spoken about having a third bartender so they, especially Callie, could work in more flexible hours. But since Arizona was so busy that she didn't have much time to be with the Latina, having the extra help wasn't so urgent yet.
Well, now it was. Even though Joe assured her that he had no problem handling the bar himself for five days, ten hours straight, Callie still didn't want to overtired her best employee, he deserved a life too.
They went over the file of the interviewees and picked out three of them, Joe would call them and see who could start to work right away. In the worse circumstances, as Callie instructed, they could always just lock up the place. Or put Cristina in the spot for a couple hours – she had bugged both Callie and Joe to give her another try for weeks.
Walking down the hallway, she found that her bedroom door was open. She gently knocked on her own bedroom door before stepped in, no one was in sight but she could hear music coming from the ensuite bathroom. She put her ear against the frosted glass door and smiled when she smelled the scent of her favorite lavender oil and heard a soft hum along with the music.
"Arizona? You ok in there? Do you need anything?"
"I'm great, thanks." The blonde answered with a soft voice. "Company would be fantastic though." She giggled when a dry cough came from the other side of the door.
"It's tempting, but I'll pass this time, you take your time." Even though Callie was dying to share the bath with Arizona, there was still a line they haven't cross yet. Unfortunately, being naked and wet in a bath was on the other side of the line.
In the bathroom, Arizona was soaking in a tub of amazing lavender essential oil. When she opened the cabinet of bath salts collection Callie told her to, she was stunned of how many choices were in there. But it didn't take her a lot to pick this one, from time to time she could smell a hint of lavender from the brunette, not the same as her fruity shampoo, or the vanilla body wash. So when she opened the bottle, she knew this was the one she wanted.
She closed her eyes and relaxed in the tub, she couldn't help to wonder how it would feel to have a certain Latina there, sitting in front of her, laying back against her chest, resting the head on her shoulder so she could nuzzled that long neck and her hands would fondle those swelling flesh with a gentle touch… She took a deep breath to calm herself; it was going to be a long tortuous night.
Arizona came out of the bathroom wearing a T-shirt and a boxer from Callie's second drawer, she found that her girl was not in the bedroom but on the couch in the living room, wearing a boxer too, busy clicking on the laptop.
"I was waiting for you in the tub." Arizona pouted before pecking the brunette's lips.
"Ha ha, very funny." She glanced at the woman who flopped next to her on the couch, unconsciously licking her lips when she saw the cream legs in those short shorts. Then she turned her attention back to the computer. "I took a shower in the guest bathroom, didn't want to disturb you."
"What are you doing?" The blonde sat closer to Callie so that she could see the screen.
"I'm checking the flight schedules, we have several choices for afternoon flights. I'm thinking we should take the 2:30 flight, then we can be there for dinner. I really want to take you to La Botte, I like it so much, I used to go at least four times a week when I stayed in LA…" Callie could feel her heartbeat increasing, she secretly cursed herself for getting so worked up just because Arizona was sitting close to her, freshly bathed Arizona, hot and sexy Arizona…
"Sounds perfect." Arizona pulled her legs up on the couch and rested her head on Callie's shoulder.
"You smell good, lavender is my favorite." Callie kissed the blonde's head and took the chance to breathe in the scent of the woman, she wondered how come the usual relaxing lavender smell could be so erotic when it came from the blonde.
"I like it too. Are you sure you are ok to leave so suddenly? How about the pub?"
"Joe and I talked about hiring one more barkeep, so that we could have more free time during the week. Joe is going to contact someone tomorrow and if everything goes well, the new bartender would start tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Callie shut the laptop and put it away. "Wait, why did you ask that? Are you having second thoughts about going on a vacation with me? I know it's a big step and we've not been together for a long time…"
"Shhh…" A finger pressed to plump lips to stop the mumble. "I asked because that's what a good girlfriend would do, I´m just concern about everything regarding you. I don't want you to worry about the pub when we are sipping cocktails on the beach. Especially, because I dragged you away all of the sudden, I don't want you to blame me if anything happens at home." Arizona smiled when the brunette took her hand and kissed her palm.
"I'll never blame you for anything." Callie swallowed hard when she saw sparkling blue iris turning a darker shade, she closed the distance between their waiting lips, nibbling pink lips in an unhurried way.
The soft touch eventually turned to a much hotter kiss, Arizona leaned back on the couch, bringing Callie along to lie on top of her. Lips locked, tongues tangled, hands roamed around everywhere, hips ground against each other, naked legs entwined… It wasn't the first time they made out on the couch like horny teenagers but the thin layer of sleeping clothes made their arousal reached a much higher level and, without noticing, their hands had passed the boundary they had set up secretly.
With her lips gently sucking the blonde's pulse point, Callie's hand snaked under her shirt and was kneading the way up to a breast she was dying to touch. A moan escaped from parted pink lips, it was like adding fuel to the brunette's internal fire.
But, instead of going further north, the hand pulled away. Callie gave the pulse point a last nip then went up to kiss pink lips one more time.
"I need to tell you something." She said while pulling away, hovering over the woman underneath her.
Snapping out of the arousal haze, the panting blonde lightly pushed the body above her away.
"I´m sorry Callie, I… got carry away…" But she was cut off by another kiss.
After their lips parted, Callie sat straight and then Arizona mirrored her awkwardly. Still smiling, Callie laced their hands together, kissed them and rested them on her chest above her heart.
"I need to tell you something. I know we talked about this, I said that we should wait to take the next step until my divorce was final."
Arizona bit her lips and nodded, she was about to tell Callie that she was ok with that, even though all she could think about right now was taking off that red tank top in front of her that hide the girls that she really, really, really wanted to meet.
But the brunette continued, "That was a stupid idea. It is unfair to me, and is unfair to you."
"No Callie, that's fine." Arizona frowned confuse, she really had no idea where this conversation was heading to.
"Are you kidding me? This is not fine. We are grown women, we have needs and obviously we are attracted to each other. Are you telling me you don't want to have sex with me?" Callie sighed heavily, "Jesus… I really want to touch you, Arizona."
"No, of course I want to. It´s killing me, but…" Arizona whispered.
"I called George today."
"What? Why?" Arizona stared at her girlfriend with wide eyes, she knew very well that Callie was avoiding calling her soon-to-be-ex husband. It was frustrating for her to see that there would have been no progress as long as the brunette refused to contact the man, but it was Callie's choice, she couldn't force her girlfriend to do what she didn't want to do.
"Because I can't wait to start a new life with you, Arizona." Still holding fair hands, Callie lowered them and slowly stroked them with her thumbs. "I talked to Cristina this afternoon and she made me realized I should have talked to him, not through the lawyer, I should give him the closure that he deserves."
"And…?" Arizona was so nervous that she didn't realize she was holding her breath.
Thinking back to the conversation with George, Callie couldn't help to chuckle. "Don't get me wrong, George is a nice man, really, he has a soft heart and he's caring and adorable, but he also is incredibly stubborn. I kept telling him that our marriage was a mistake, but he just told me he loved me and asked me to give it another try. It was like talking to a brick wall, I couldn't take it anymore so I just hung up."
"I can totally picture you throwing the phone away." Arizona chuckled along when she saw brown eyes rolled.
She leaned forward to peck pink lips again, Callie kept stroking the hands in hers. "I don't know if you noticed but you totally saved the day. You called me right after I threw the phone on the couch."
"I did?" Arizona raised her eyebrow in surprise and grinned like a fool when the brunette nodded.
"Yes, you did. It was like you knew I needed to hear your voice." Callie breathed out, she still remembered how the anger and frustration vanished at the moment she heard that perky "Hey".
"Then, what are you going to do?" The blonde retracted one of her hands, held it up to caress the beaming face in front of her. Callie closed her eyes and leaned against the touch.
"I am not going to try to convince George anymore, I might have to wait for two years to be legally divorced, but I am not going to hold back what I want to do with you, I can't stop moving on because he thought I would change my mind, which I know very well that I won't."
Callie reached a hand to the back of Arizona's neck and pulled her close, she captured her lips with her own, both moaning with the passion that Callie put in this kiss.
They rested their foreheads against each other after breaking the kiss, brown eyes looked into blue with nothing but sincerity, "I love you, Arizona Robbins."
"You do?" A stunning dimpled smile slowly forming on her face.
"Yes, I´m so in love with you Arizona." She ducked her head to connect their lips again, Callie slipped her tongue between parted pink lips, moaning when it found a partner tangled with hers.
They resumed their lustful desire with much more passion, they both knew there was no turning or holding back. A fair hand went straight to the sweetly curved mound under the red tank top, fondled it with tender caresses, causing another moan from the Latina, Arizona swallowed it while suckling the muscle invading her mouth.
She just had a tank top on her but Callie found the temperature increasing to an unbearably high, she pulled away to take off her top in a split second, then reattached to pink lips and pulled the woman up from the couch, fumbling their way towards the bedroom. By the time they landed on Callie's bed, both of them were just a boxer away from being totally naked.
Rolling on top of the Latina, Arizona ran her hands through raven hair, clearing a path to nibble her earlobe and neck. Soft moans came out from plump lips when ivory hands traveled up and down her torso and finally reached the peak, thumb brushing against the harden nipple, sending electric shocks through a tanned body.
A warm mouth found the way to the other peak, Callie arched her back while a tongue licked and circled the tip, low husky moans came out when Arizona captured it and sucked. The groan urged the blonde to go on, after giving the same attention to the other swelling flesh, hot kisses went lower and lower and stopped above the waist line.
Arizona sat up a little, staring deeply into brown eyes while her hands reached the waist of the boxer, searching for any sign of hesitation from the panting woman under her, who smiled back to her and lifted the hips slightly so the boxer could slid down the long legs smoothly.
Arizona gasped when she drank in the complete naked form of her girlfriend, this woman was breathtakingly gorgeous. She said to herself that she would wait for Callie forever, fortunately, the wait was over.
Kicking off her own boxer, Arizona kissed her way back to plump lips, hands followed the way fondling from thighs to hips to breasts. Lips locked again as the blonde slipped a thigh between Callie's, grounding her hips so that their bodies nestled up from head to toes, wriggling and squirming against each other.
A hand tangled with soft blonde hair, another roamed down along the spine and ended on Callie's favorite part of her girlfriend's body, she gripped a handful of it, pulling their bodies closer, grinding hard and fast on each other's thighs.
"Oh my… Arizona that feels so good. God… I need you, make love to me." Callie managed to pant between ragged breaths.
Arizona pulled away to look Callie in the face, she felt her heart skipped a beat when the stunning woman under her was biting her bottom lip, concentrated on enjoying every sensation.
She couldn't help herself and she nipped the arching neck, sucking on the pulse point, feeling the rapid heartbeat. She knew she was going to leave a mark, she wanted to leave a mark, to brand her girlfriend, she just wished she wouldn´t get in trouble because of that later.
In the meantime, her hand snaked down between their bodies, finally landing where the brunette wanted her most.
"You are so hot Callie, jeez you are dripping… so hot…" Arizona moaned, a finger slowly running up and down the slit, flicking the bundle of nerves occasionally.
"Please… Arizona… please…" Callie wriggled her hips to try to gain more contact from the touch, she groaned when the blonde kept teasing her with the soft stroke.
Arizona was so engrossed watching her hot hot girlfriend writhing under her maneuver, she knew it was mean but she just wanted to prolong the moment. She plunged a single finger into the glistening moistness, pulling it out and circling the hooded member gently.
When she said she was going to explode, Callie wasn't joking. Deciding she couldn't take the teasing anymore, she used a hand to grab the back of the blonde's neck for a deep and wild kiss, and flew her other hand straight to Arizona's hot center, moaning when she found her girlfriend was drenching as well. She slid two fingers inside the wet heat, she curled them instantly and use the heel of her palm to rub the clit.
"Fuck…" Arizona broke the kiss to gasp for air and groaned, she rolled her hips to ride the fingers, and mirrored Callie's action entering her with two fingers. They quickly set a matching rhythm, it didn't take long until the thrusts got harder and faster and deeper, moans and groans filled the room.
"Arizona… I'm close." Callie panted out and buried her face in the crook of the blonde's neck, Arizona's hot breath above her ear pushed her over the cliff. An involuntarily spasm ran through her body, she bit down on the shoulder in front of her during the peak of the orgasm.
The pain from the bite and the feeling of the pulse around her fingers pulled Arizona over the cliff, husky moans came out of pink lips as she rode out of the orgasm and whispered the name of her girlfriend.
Withdrawing her fingers she used both hands to grab Callie's face for a fierce kiss, Arizona ground her hips, the brunette stroking her back and, as always, her hands landed on her butt.
"That was amazing." Callie smiled to Arizona, when they broke the kiss.
"I love you too." Arizona leaned in for another kiss, then moved to the side and rested her head on her girlfriend's shoulder, resting an arm on Callie's midsection, who brought her arms to wrapped around the blonde instantly.
After a moment of comfortable silence, Arizona looked up and found that her girlfriend was still wearing a smile looking back at her.
"Are you going to wear that smile the whole night?" Stroking olive skin with her palm, Arizona said teasingly.
"I can't help it. It may sound stupid so… never mind." Callie chuckled and shook her head slightly.
"Tell me," Arizona said inattentively, she was busy fondling Callie's bellybutton with her thumb, she giggled when the brunette twisted to avoid the ticklish touch.
"I just… I almost forgot the difference of having sex with someone, or making love with someone that I love," Callie picked up the hand that rested on her belly and entwined it with hers. "Stupid, right?"
"No, not at all." Arizona answered in a small voice.
"George and I… I know it seems ridiculous, before and after we went to Vegas, I was really, really wasted most of the time, I didn't even know if I knew what we were doing, I was just... so drunk, so lost… and so lonely." The brunette laughed dryly, Arizona leaned forward to place a kiss on the tanned shoulder, and Callie continued.
"And after I got back on my feet, I worked crazy hours in the pub, either went home passed the wee hour, or arrived so extremely tired that fell asleep right away. George is a good guy, he never forced me to do anything I didn't want to. I really ruined his life, the poor guy." Callie sighed.
"If you had not known me, do you think you'll give him another chance?" Uncertainty lingered in Arizona's voice, "you keep saying George is a good guy, caring and… good. He sounds like a good husband."
"He is a good guy, he could be a good husband, but just not mine. I left him for a reason, it sounds crazy but he's just not my cup of tea, even in the beginning I knew I couldn't love him the way I loved Malena or how I love you now." Softly stroking the slick back, Callie closed her eyes to savor the touch. "I trust my instincts, just tend to ignore them sometimes."
"Does it mean, you knew you'll love me from the beginning?" Arizona slowly shut her eyes as well, the gentle touch from her lover and the closeness felt so comfortable.
"I didn't mean that, I like you at first sight, just didn't expect to fall for you so fast and so hard." Callie said as she pulled the woman even closer to her, if it was possible.
A big yawn left the blonde's mouth that made Callie chuckled.
"I really like our talk but please forgive me, I'm really tired, can we continue later?" Arizona asked sheepishly.
"Sure, we have five days in LA to talk about everything. By the way, I was thinking we could stay at Addison's, but now I think maybe we better get a hotel room instead."
"Why?" Arizona closed her eyes again and buried her nose in the raven hair, and brought a hand to cup a full plump breast, letting out a satisfied sigh, knowing that from now on, she had granted the permission to play with the girls.
"I think I'm going to have lots of sex with you, staying in a hotel is best because then I can make you scream as loud as I want." Callie smirked, but her girlfriend was just too tired to response.
"Good idea, anywhere you go I'll go with you." Another yawn came out from pink lips.
"Ok, we'll talk later, go to sleep. I love you Arizona."
"I love you too, sleep like an angel."
