A/N: So this is the first part of the Miami trip. There will be three chapters in Miami and then they're heading home.
"Wake up, Arizona" Callie said sleepily to the beautiful blonde sleeping on her shoulder in the car. The six friends had been flying for five hours and now driving for half an hour, and the blonde was very tired. She slept four hours in the plane and fell asleep as soon as her head hit Callie's shoulder in the car. Callie just saw that there were only about half a mile left to drive, so she decided to wake the blonde. Because it was summer, the sun was still up even though the time said 8.37 pm.
"Mmm, no" Arizona mumbled.
Callie laughed at her and kissed the top of her head. "Yes. Wake up. We're here now." She said as they turned around the corner to where her beach house were.
Arizona's eyes shot open and her jaw dropped when they stopped by a huge beach house in front of the gate. Henry, having been here many times, opened the gate expertly with the password. It was a mansion, maybe more like a palace. The most beautiful Arizona had ever seen. "Seriously? That's where I'm going to live for the next week?" She asked in shock.
"Sure is. Now come on, I can't wait to get out of this car." Callie said excitedly and jumped out of the car. The boys and Callie took care of all the luggage. They were the only ones who had been there before. Not even Lexie had been there. Arizona, Teddy and Lexie looked around in awe.
Teddy grabbed Arizona by the hand and pulled her aside. "I'm making Callie my girlfriend" She said, making Arizona burst out laughing. "What? I could go gay for her easily"
"You're clearly not thinking about the sex with a girl part.." Arizona teased, which made Teddy shudder. "Yea, that's what I thought"
"You keep her. I'm staying with Henry." Teddy said and made her way to the beach house, Arizona hot in her heels.
When she walked in she felt like she couldn't breathe. Exactly how loaded are you, Callie?! Callie showed her around the whole beach house in silence. She knew this was a lot for Arizona to take in.
The entry led straight into the foyer where there were a flight of stairs to the second floor, and opened up to the huge living room with a built-in dining room and also built-in kitchen. It opened up to a huge terrace with a BBQ, a pool with built-in hot tub and a bonfire place. The terrace looked over the beach, and there was a small path that led down to the private beach. The living room had a coffee table in the middle. There were two couches on either side of the table, and on the other two sides, there were two loveseats on each side. There also were a TV behind the couch facing the kitchen. When you came in from the foyer, the kitchen was placed to your right with five chairs by the counter. Above the counter, there were kind of like a breakfast bar, so you wouldn't be eating right where you just cooked. In the middle of the kitchen there were a big counter with a stove and an oven with a range hood. The dining room had a table which could easily fit twenty people around it, and from the dining table you could walk straight out to the BBQ lanai. The kitchen led out to a family room with a loveseat and a huge corner sofa. In the room next to the family room, there was a laundry room with a lot of place. Too much place for a laundry room in fact. If you walked to your left from the foyer, the first door you would find, would lead you into a bedroom, the bedroom Aria and her boyfriend usually stayed in when they were there, because Callie didn't like when other people were in her master bedroom. The bedroom had its own balcony with a view over the front yard, and it also had a bathroom. The bedroom had three doors. The door that led into the bedroom, a door that led to a simple bathroom with a toilet and a shower, and the third door led out to a hallway. From the hallway you could get into a spa room, where there were a massage bed and a tread mill. The other door from the hallway led out to another bathroom with a tub and a huge counter with two sinks and a toilet. The bathroom also led out to an outdoor shower.
"Calliope.. This house is.. wow.." Arizona said, feeling a thousand things she didn't know how to express.
"I know this is a lot. I knew it would be. But please, be okay with this.. I like you a lot, and I don't want to scare you away with my money. At least you knew I had money.. This is just a house to get away for either me or Aria. Sometimes we invite a lot of friends on vacation and when it's summer, we stay here for those six weeks with some friends." Callie rambled.
"I'm not mad, Calliope" Arizona said, putting a hand on the brunette's cheek. "I'm just overwhelmed. This house is beautiful.." She said, grinning.
"You ain't seen nothing yet, honey. Let's go upstairs" She said and took Arizona's hand and led her upstairs. As soon as they were up the stairs, they were on a kind of bridge - overlooking the living room and foyer - with a fence to make sure you won't fall down. They turned left first, and the first room they walked into were Henry and Teddy's bedroom, where Teddy was laying across the queen sized bed, laughing at Henry. The bedroom had a balcony out to the front yard as well and a bathroom with a tub, shower and toilet. The room also had a closet for clothes.
"Callie! This place is amazing!" Teddy exclaimed. "Thank you so much for inviting me." She said, sounding like this really meant a lot to her, and it actually did. She didn't really have any good friends besides Arizona, so when she got invited she got really excited, and she got even more excited when she saw the place.
"You're welcome, Teddy" Callie said, grinning widely. "And yes, it's pretty great, huh?" She teased.
"Are you insane? 'pretty great'? This is freaking amazing." Teddy said and got all giddy with excitement, making Henry, Arizona and Callie laugh at her. Callie and Arizona walked out of the room to go to the next room, which was another bedroom, where Mark and Lexie were staying, but the couple were downstairs, mixing some food together for everyone. It was the biggest bedroom Arizona had seen so far, and it had a balcony which were overlooking the beach and the terrace downstairs. It also had a bathroom with a tub, shower and toilet, just like Teddy and Henry's room, and also had a closet. The girls made their way out of Mark and Lexie's room, and as they walked over to bridge to the other side of the second floor, Callie took Arizona's hand.
"Soo.. As you probably figured, we have this side of the second floor all to ourselves, because we aren't enough people to fill out this place.." Callie said, smirking at Arizona.
"Really?" Arizona said, her face lighting up like a kid on christmas morning.
"Really" Callie confirmed and smiled. They walked over the bridge and just as they were over, there was a retreat on the right with a small coffee table and two loveseats. They walked by the retreat and walked straight into a den with two loveseats and a sofa, facing each other. The den led into another bedroom with a balcony, facing the street. The bedroom led into a guest room with a couch that could be made into a bed and the guest room had its own bathroom with tub, toilet and toilet, and also had a balcony with a view over the front yard. They made their way back to the retreat, and Callie took their luggage. "Are you ready to see the last room, and the room we are staying in?" Callie asked and smiled. She was so proud of the master bedroom and master bathroom. It was all her doing.
"I am so ready" Arizona said. She thought she was, but it turned out later that she wasn't. Arizona opened the door and walked in first as Callie walked in to place the luggage on the ground. Her jaw dropped to the ground immediately. She walked in to the hugest bathroom she had ever seen. In the middle of everything there were a black, oval tub. There also were a large counter with two sinks and a huge mirror. It was all very romantic, and she couldn't wait to have a bath with Callie in the tub. There were four doors, all leading into the master bedroom. Callie didn't like that at first, but she decided not to do anything about it when she bought the place. Arizona walked into the bedroom and was faced with a king sized bed in a bright and romantic room. Facing to the bed there was a huge flat screen in the wooden wall, and in the corner there was a loveseat. There were also a huge walk-in closet. There were glassdoors leading out to the hugest balcony of them all with two loveseats and a view over the beach if you looked straight ahead and if you looked to your left, you could look over the terrace downstairs. "Calliope.. I don't know what to say... Is this all your doing?" Arizona said in awe.
"Most of it is. Mostly the master bedroom and bathroom. Aria helped me a lot with the other rooms, but these two rooms and the kitchen was all me. Do you like it?" She asked uncertain.
"Do I like it?" Arizona asked, looking at Callie as if she had grown another head. "I love it, Callie! This place is amazing. I can't wait to spend an entire week with you here." Arizona exclaimed and pulled Callie into a soft kiss. Callie sighed happily into the kiss and pulled away to lean her forehead against Arizona's.
"I'm glad you like it, beautiful. Now, let's go downstairs. Mark and Lexie is probably done making us some food." The brunette said, and led Arizona downstairs.
Soon the six friends all were sitting in the dining room finishing their eating, when Callie saw that the sun was already setting. She leaned over to whisper in Arizona's ear, "Arizona? You want to go upstairs to our balcony and watch the sunset with me?" Callie asked sweetly.
Arizona turned her head and smiled at Callie. "I would love to watch the sunset with you, Calliope." She said and the couple quickly made their way upstairs and soon Callie was sitting in one of the loveseats, spreading her legs to make room for Arizona to sit down between her legs and looking over the water as the sun was setting. "It's beautiful" Arizona said in awe. She had been living in a lot of different places because she grew up as an army brat, but she had never seen a sunset like this.
"It sure is" Callie said as she encircled Arizona's waist with her arms from behind and placed her head on the blonde's shoulder. She felt like the three words she so desperately tried to hide from the blonde was about to burst out of her mouth any minute, but she tried to fight it. "I wish I could freeze time or just quit my job and stay here with you forever.." Callie said and sighed happily.
"Me too, honey.. Me too" Arizona said. Callie made her feel all sorts of different feelings, especially right this moment. She had never loved anyone she had been with before, so she didn't know if she loved Callie. She was very confused, and Callie wasn't even her girlfriend. Is it too early to ask her to be my girlfriend? She thought as she just sat looking out at the sunset.
"What is going on in that pretty little head of yours? What are you thinking about?" Callie asked after the blonde had been quiet for a long time.
"You" Arizona said as if it was the most simple thing to ever admit, but she was also afraid that Callie would dig deeper.
Callie smiled and placed a kiss against the blonde's neck. "What about me?"
Dang it.. Arizona thought. "Umm.. I actually don't know.. It's just.. I have never felt like this like.. ever. I only had one serious relationship and I didn't even have feelings for her, I just tried to make her happy because she loved me. I was with her for a year, and she didn't meet my parents. I find myself wishing you would meet my parents and my brother soon, wishing I could meet your parents and your sister soon. I find myself wishing everything I did involved you. But I live in Boston, you live in Seattle. It's freaking confusing, and I don't know how Teddy can handle it. I want to be with you all the time and I don't ever want to let go. I just want to stay here in this beach house with you for the rest of my life.. It's crazy, isn't it? I met you two days ago officially and I am already talking about forever here.. And it freaks me out, Calliope.." Arizona paused for a moment. "God, I'm rambling, I'm sorry" She said and sunk back into Callie's arms, and the brunette hugged Arizona tighter as she felt like she could cry, but held it in so that Arizona wouldn't notice.
"Arizona.." Callie said, making the blonde look back at her. "You just said everything I have felt for these past couple of days.. It's kind of crazy and scaring, yes.. But I have all those feelings for you already, and I don't know what to do with myself. We can make this work.. We can do this. I'm not asking you to be my girlfriend already, because I think we're already going oddly fast-" She said, and could see the disappointed look on the blonde's face. "You really want to be my girlfriend, don't you?" Callie asked softly as she looked Arizona deeply into her eyes.
"I really do.. but I can wait. I think it's really fast too, but I can't help wanting you to be mine.. And in reality, we have known each other for over a month, and I didn't just fall for you when I met you. I did that after a week of writing with you. I like you so much and I really want to call you mine. To be proud of having you as my girlfriend. Hell, I'm even proud just knowing you. After I got to know you online, I fell so fast for you, not because of your looks, but because of your personality. The looks sure is a bonus" Arizona said and winked at the giggling brunette. "But the way you treat me and the way you make me feel.. That is what got me hooked. I'm not talking about the three big words, because I have yet to have ever said it, so I want to be sure when I say them for the first time, but I would really like you to be my girlfriend, Calliope.." Arizona said and cupped both of Callie's cheeks.
Callie could feel a tear escaping her eye and crashed her lips with Arizona's, making the blonde turn around fully in the brunette's arms and went to straddle her. The kiss was soft and gentle, but still so passionate. Callie pulled away after some time because of the lack of oxygen. "I would really like you to be my girlfriend as well, Arizona.." Callie admitted when she leaned her forehead against Arizona's.
"Really?" Arizona said and smiled widely, popping the dimples.
"Yes, really" Callie said and leaned in to peck Arizona softly on the lips.
"So you're my girlfriend?" Arizona asked giddily.
"Yes, and you're mine" The brunette beamed and leaned in to kiss the blonde again and pouted when Arizona jumped off of her and left the lanai. "Where are you going? I want to make out" she whined. Arizona came back a minute later and straddled the brunette again as she put her phone to her ear. "Who are you calling?" Callie asked confused. The blonde put a hand over Callie's mouth as she started talking.
"Hey mom!" She said perkily, making Callie's eyes widen in fear and the blonde giggle.
"Hello, Zona. How is it in Seattle? Are you enjoying your time with Teddy?" Barbara asked sweetly into the phone.
"Actually mom.. There's something I need to tell you. I didn't just fly to Seattle to spend time with Teddy.. I have been talking to an amazing woman for some time, and I came to spend time with her.." Arizona said dreamily.
"A woman? What's her name?" Barbara asked giddily.
"Her name is Callie Torres, mom." Arizona said and giggled when she could feel the brunette smiling against her hand and pulled the it away. "She's really amazing, mama" She said and leaned her forehead against Callie's shortly.
"I'm so happy for you dear. Are you enjoying your time with Callie then?" Her mom asked.
"I'm enjoying my time very much. She took the week off work with her best friend and her best friend's girlfriend, and now we're en Miami along with Teddy and Henry in a beach house for the week. You should see it mom, it's amazing. We just saw the sunset over the beach from our lanai.."
Barbara giggled at her daughter. "You sure sound happy, honey. I am very happy for you. But is there something you want to tell me? Because you don't usually call just to make small talk, Zona.." She said, knowing her daughter too well.
"Yes, there is something I want to tell you.." Arizona said, taking Callie's hand and intertwining their fingers. "I just made Callie my girlfriend, mama.." She said, unsure of what her mom would say.
Barbara squealed into the phone, making Callie and Arizona giggle quietly. "I'm so happy for you, Zona! I want to meet this Callie soon." Callie heard that and got wide eyes.
"Mama, I think that's a little too early. We have only been talking in a little over a month, I don't want daddy to scare her away. I actually like her." Arizona said, making her mom sigh and Callie smile a little at her.
"You're probably right. But I still want to meet her sometime, young lady. Don't hide her away!"
"Sir, yes sir!" Arizona said, making Callie laugh.
"She's with you?" Barbara asked giddily.
Arizona looked at Callie who just nodded at her. Arizona put the phone on loud speaker. "Yes, she's with me, mama. You're on loud speaker now."
"Hello Mrs. Robbins." Callie said happily as Arizona turned around in her arms to cuddle into her front again.
"Oh no dear, if you're making my little baby this happy, you call me Barbara" She said sweetly.
"Thank you, Barbara." Callie said again.
"Mama, it was nice to talk to you, we can call some other day of the week, but it's kind of late and I'm tired and want to go to bed. We have been flying for five hours today, soo.. Bye mama. Say hi to daddy from me. I love you." Arizona said, trying to get rid of her mom before she said something embarrassing.
"Bye honey. I love you too. And bye Callie. You ladies sleep tight."
Thank you Barbara. Goodnight." Callie said before Arizona hung up. Arizona cuddled even more into her girlfriend's body as Callie's arms hugged her tighter. "I like your mom.. She sounds to be just like you.." She said, laughing when Arizona slapped her on her thigh. "All good, promise honey."
"Let's go to bed. I want to cuddle with my girlfriend." Arizona said as she grabbed her phone and got up. When Callie made her way into the bedroom, Arizona quickly wrote a text for Teddy.
So.. I'm going to bed with my GIRLFRIEND now.. Goodnight Teds. ;) - A
She put Callie's Stanford shirt on again and a pair of sleeping shorts and cuddled into her girlfriend's body just as Teddy and Mark came bursting in the doors.
"GIRLFRIEND?!" They yelled in unison.
"What? How did you know?" Callie asked confused and looked over at the blushing blonde. "Arizona?"
"Sorry.. I can't help wanting to scream it over the rooftops.. I just told Teddy that I was going to bed with my girlfriend and told her goodnight.." She said, grinning widely.
"So it's true?" Mark asked.
Callie and Arizona both nodded and their friend threw themselves at them on the bed. "Congratulations!" They yelled in unison again.
"I'm so happy for you, Zona.. You deserve this." Teddy said, smiling at her best friend.
"You do as well, Torres. This is great!"
"Thank you, guys.." Callie said and cuddled into her girlfriend's side. "Now get out of here, we were just about to go to sleep.."
"Sure thing, boss" Teddy said and pulled Mark out of the room, slamming the door behind them.
"Sorry for telling her, I should have known better.." Arizona said softly into the now silent room.
Callie pulled Arizona's face up to look her in the eyes. "Don't be sorry, I was just surprised you already told them. I like you a lot and I want to tell everyone that you're mine as well. Now, let's go to sleep, honey. I already found out that you are a morning person, so I need my beauty sleep." She said, chuckling.
"You don't need your beauty sleep, you're already the most beautiful woman I have ever seen" Arizona said honestly, making the brunette blush. She leaned in to capture Callie's full lips a last time before going to sleep. "Goodnight, beautiful.." She said and leaned her head on Callie's shoulder.
"Goodnight, honey." Callie answered, and soon both ladies fell asleep more happy than either of them had ever been
A/N 2: Aww, girlfriends! But will it work out with the long distance? Uh-oh.
