AN: That was quite the feedback! I am really glad you guys liked last chapter, I have to confess I was a little afraid you weren't going to like it. Also, I see that many of you are enjoying Clara and I have to say... I really like writing , here is the next chapter. I'm sorry it took so long and I'm sorry it is not very long... but you know, college is killing me, I barely have time and when I do have some free time I write. But whatever, no one cares about my college lol This one is a filler for what's coming up next. Let me know what you think and what you'd like to see, ideas are always welcome.

Enough blah blah blah... good reading!


Flashback:

"Okay, now you can't deny it. You are not listening to anything that I am saying." He said when he noticed he'd been talking for minutes and the Brunette just nodded her head yes or no like she was doing with Mark earlier that night.

"What?" She asks surprised. "I was listening it's just..."
"It's just what?"
"Nothing, it's complicated. Just forget it." She says flashing him a smile and taking a sip of her drink.
"Is it the blonde back at your friend's table?" He asks and she almost spits her drink. "I've noticed. You didn't take your eyes off of her for quite a while."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude with you."
"Don't worry about it." He said placing an assuring hand on her shoulders. "Wanna talk about it?"
"I don't know what to say about it."
"You wanna try?"
The question took her a few seconds and a deep breath. "No."
"You know, when I am feeling like this I usually scream. I go to the roof top of my building and scream. Do not hold it in, let it out. It will be better that way."
"I don't think it's going to work with me. "
"You'll never know if you don't try."
"Where should I go to do this? Your roof top?" She says laughing.
"No, of course not. That's my safe heaven... But I might just know where you could do it."
"Will you show me where?"
"Do you wanna go?"
She thinks for a second before saying, "Yes."
"Okay then, let's go."
"I'll just let Mark know I'm leaving. Then we can go."


Arizona's POV :

My heart is pouding... it's pouding like never before. I've dreamt about it so many times that I was starting to believe it was never going to be more than that, it would always be a dream. But now, laying in my bed all I can think about is Callie's kiss. How her lips are warm and her hands are soft but still strong, the way she looked into my eyes... hard to believe it's not a dream. With my head still spinning even though it happened about two hours ago I get in the shower and let the hot water roll down my body and wash all the insecurity and fears I had about my feelings towards Callie. She felt the same way. She kissed me. I made her lose her words and she kissed me. A kiss that I will never forget.
Getting out of the shower and wrapping myself in my soft pink towel I head back to my bedroom and put on my pj's, once again letting myself fall onto my bed. Callie's words still echoed in my head, she had said so much and I could remember every bit of it. Which makes me think of something, something that I will probably try to find out more about it, but it's just too soon. It was only one kiss.
Wait... only one kiss? I feel that insecurity in my body again. What if it was just it? Just a kiss? I know there were her words too and all but she also had alcohol in her system... what if she didn't mean all that? What if- you know what? I will stop with these "what ifs" before I lose my mind. Damn it! Why can't I control my mind and forbid it of thinking these kind of things? Of letting my fears let themselves known?
The next morning I wake up to see my reflection a little messed up. Messy hair, a little shadow under my eyes... but nothing that a good cup of coffee wouldn't fix. I wish there was a better cure for hangover...
Last night was a bit tough, after I had all those thoughts it was a little hard to fall asleep. But Monday is finally here and I will see her again, I will make sure that she remembers everything that she said and that she tells me she meant all of it. Maybe that way I will stop freaking out.
I get my best suit (skirt, not pants), let my loose curls fall over my shoulder, apply some light make up to cover the shadow under my eyes and... here we go.


During my trip up to the last floor of Santa Helena Palace I can't stop thinking of how should I react when I see her. Should I say good morning and get going with my work? Should I hug her or something...? Crap, I should've thought of this before!
It's still early in the morning so there's barely any emplyoee working in the place, the emptiness of the hotel makes the clicks of my heels against the floor sound even louder. With each step I take closer to the door I feel my heart beating faster. My hands already sweating and shaking a little. It's just Callie, right? If it meant nothing I can move on with my life, we can still be friends and... Who am I trying to fool?
Before even noticing what I am doing I knock on the door. Knock? Why the hell did I knock? I never knock!
"Come in!" Came the voice that had been echoing in my mind all night.
Drying my sweaty hands in my skirt, I touch the doorknob and turn it, I push it open when I her a light click. "Hey!" She says with an excited voice, her smile brighter than the moon... "You knocked? Why did you knock?"
"I-I don't know." I say with a glup. "I basically have no idea of what I've been doing since you... you know, kissed me." Her smile goes bigger when I mention our kiss, making my nervousness ease a little. "That's all I've been thinking about..."
"Me too..." She answers, getting up from her chair and taking a few steps closer to me.
"Callie, I need to know..." I say staring at her in the eyes. "Was it for real? I mean, did you really mean it?"
"Our kiss?" I just nod. "Of course I meant it... along with everything that I said." She puts her hands on my cheeks. "It was much better than screaming on a roof top."
"What?" I ask. What the hell she is talking about?
"Last night, when I said I was leaving?" She says, making me remember the guy who she was flirting with, suddenly making that jealousy that I WASN'T so familiar with come flooding back. "Don't make that face, he was a nice guy." I just pretend I didn't hear it. "Anyways, I told you I wasn't going to sleep with him and I really wasn't."
"So... where are you going with this?"
"I couldn't take my eyes out of you, seeing Clara and you together was getting me at my bones, killing me inside... and he noticed it. Then he said when he feels like that he goes to the roof top of his building and screams, he lets it out."
"Oh..." I say, more relieved. "But you understood that Clara and I are not girlfriends... right?"
"Well yes." She says laughing, placing a light kiss on my lips.
"I missed that. The feel of your lips on mine, they're so warm they warm my heart."
"Wow, we're there already?" She jokes, making me back away. Crap, me and my big mouth. "Hey, I'm just messing with you." She says as she wraps her arms around me. It feels so good. "Was it that good for you? For real?"
"Yes, it was." I say. "It was really good."
"Then I guess I can ask you what's been in my head all night." She says, taking a deep encouragement breath. "Would you like to go on a date with me?" She says softly in my ear, making my body shiver. "Unless you don't-"
"Yes!" I answer a little too excited. "Of course I wanna go on a date with you, mainly if I get to get more kisses like this." I pull her by her waist and crash my lips on hers. Her hands gone straight to my hair and mine to her waist. The feel of her lips upon mine is so good I wish I could stay kissing her forever. I feel her wet tongue asking for entrance and I allow it. The feeling of her tongue inside of my mouth burns. Yeah, burns... in a good way. Our tongues dance together neither of us caring to the fact that our lungs need oxygen to keep working. The moan that comes from her mouth makes my insides go crazy and as an asnwer to that I grap a handful of her butt, pulling her closer to me.
"Whoa..." She says, breaking up the kiss with her cheecks flush. "Getting a little handsy?" She laughs at the same time she tries to catch her breath.
"What can I say? I've been wishing to do that for quite awhile now... pretty much since I saw you in these skirts for the first time."
"Good to know you like my skirts."
"I love your skirts."
"I like this one of yours too... your legs look amazing."
"My legs always look amazing, I need no skirt."
"Alright then... but you know what? Enough with the blah blah blah." She says pulling me harder than I did with her and kissing me once again, a little more hungrily. "Tonight, 8pm at my place." She says without disconnecting our lips. "What do you say?"
"Perfect."
We were thrown out of our little bubble when the phone rang, reminding us that work still needed to be done. Our day went by pretty good, some stolen glances here and there, quick kisses and a little bit more of legs/butt appreciation. I have to say it was really hard today at the meeting where she was all sexy presenting the project of the new mobile they were trying to buy for the hotel. She looked really hot when she was in business mode. She always looked hot but there's something with this version of her that drives me crazy.
The time passed by pretty quickly, Callie told me to leave early so I could have time to get ready for our date. To say that I am anxious is an understatement.


It was 7:30pm and I was already at her door. Damn anxiety that made me earlier... girls usually run late when they're getting ready for a date they've been expecting for a while but I am different, I want to get to it as soon as possible so I get ready pretty quickly.
The choice of the night was a dark tight jeans, a light blue blouse that showed enough cleavage, some dark make up to make my eyes color pop, and my favorite pair of high heels. Simple but still sexy.
It is really funny to think that this morning I was more nervous than I am now. Having the assurance that she meant everything she said and the little makeout sessions we had today gave me enough courage to face everything. You may think it's going too fast but I disagree... why take it slow when we've waited so long?
When I am in front of Callie's door I take a deep breath before ringing the bell. I hear something fall in the inside of the apartnent and seconds after the door cracks open and I am greeted by Callie in her towel and her wet hair laying past her shoulders.
"You're early!" She says. "And wow, you look... hot."
"You look pretty hot yourself too." I say, letting my eyes travel up and down her body.

"I'm sorry, I am not ready yet. Do you mind coming in and waiting a little? I promise it won't take too long. "
"Sure and don't worry about that, I'm early you are still on time." I say placing a light kiss on her lips. "Even though I like the way you look right now, it's perfect."

"Yeah, people at the restaurant are going to enjoy it too."

The image of a wet Callie covered only by her towel in a restaurant invades my head, I have to admit it's a really good image... it's really a shame there would be other people there. And I don't want other people to drool over her. "I don't like the sound of that, go put some clothes on, Calliope."

"That's what I thought." She says laughing and placing a quick kiss on my lips. "Make yourself comfortable, I'll be right back."

When Callie leaves me, I take a seat on the couch at the same time I look at her place. I have to confess I am impressed, by the amount of money she must have she takes a simple life. Not super expensive furniture, some picture frames upon the fireplace, a book shelf... it looks like her. If there's something that I always adimired about her is her simplicity, she never acted like a boss even tho she is the boss, she treats everyone kindly and sweetly and that's one of the best things you can find in someone else.
After a while looking at the pic frames, some of them really fun I must say, the door bell rings waking me up from my little world.
"Arizona, can you answer the door please? I'll be there in a minute."
I wouldn't open it if she asked of course, it's wasn't my place, but since she asked...
"You're not who I was expecting to open the door." A tall man with a heavy accent said. "Does Callie Torres live here?"
"Yes." I answer the tall brunette man. "Who are you?"
"I'm Callie's brother, Javier."
I stare at him for a moment, he really reminds me of her. How can they be so alike? "Oh, you look really like her..." I say with a smile. "Please, come in! She'll be here in just a minute."
It took a little more than a minute for Callie to appear but when she did, her reaction was not what I was expecting.
"Happy birthday sis!" He says with a bright smile on his face. Not as pretty as Callie's but close.

As for Callie, her face fell, she looked pale... just like as if she had just seen a ghost.
