Hi dear readers, here's chapter 2, exactly one week after chapter 1! Have fun reading :)

CHAPTER 2

'You did WHAT?!' Arizona's eyes widened when she heard what Teddy had just said.

'I'm sorry, I just thought...'

'I told you I don't need a bodyguard! And now you've asked a stranger if she can babysit me? This is...'

'I do think you need help. And she's not a stranger to me. She's a great woman. You'll just have to suck it up, because everything has already been settled with the boss.'

'You're a real piece of work. You're my friend, and I need you to talk to me, not to control me. Well I guess I can't change anything anymore. You have a nice vacay. I'll be fine.'

'Don't be mad now! I did it in your best interest. And yeah, you'll be fine. Have fun with Callie, she's great. And be nice to her, please. I gotta go to my gate now, I'll see you in two weeks. You can always use my apartment in Miami if you need to, you have the key.'

'Thanks, that's really great. Have a good time in Europe, I'm sorry I got so upset...'

'I get it, Arizona. Don't worry.'

Teddy gave her a tight hug. 'Bye sweetheart.'

'Bye bye.'

Teddy walked away. She was almost going around the corner when she looked over her shoulder and yelled: 'Be nice to her!'

'Yeah, yeah', Arizona yelled back, an amused smile on her face. That Callie must be pretty special, Teddy usually didn't talk about people that way.

The next morning, Arizona walked in the direction of 'her' plane. That is, the plane in which she was going to work the next few hours. She wondered if she would recognize Callie. Teddy had told her that it's a brunette with wavy dark hair and brown eyes. 'Exactly your type', she had added. That was true, Arizona was totally attracted to brunettes. Right now wasn't really the time to get into a relationship though. Or a fling. Her life was messed up enough already.

That was, until she saw the woman who was waiting for her at the entrance of the gate. That wasn't just a brunette. That was a hot, smoking hot Latina.

'Oh god, I won't survive this week', Arizona mumbled to herself as she walked over to the package of sexyness in front of her.

'Uhm, hey.. You must be Callie', she started nervously.

The woman in front of her had a slightly amazed look on her face, then realized she was totally silent and said: 'Oh sorry, yeah I am.'

What the...?! Teddy had told her Arizona was nice. She didn't tell her she was gorgeous. Curly blonde hair, her company skirt fitting perfectly around a slim waist and hips, and those eyes. They had a beautiful shade of blue that made it hard for Callie to stop looking at them. She was definitely attracted to women. Or to this particular woman. How was she supposed to comfort her? One touch and her libido would skyrocket and never get back to normal again. Damnit.

And I could never have her, even if we both wanted to.

In the meantime, Arizona was having similar thoughts. She had looked down (big mistake) and noticed smooth, tanned legs coming from under a blue skirt, the same skirt she was wearing herself. It looked so much better on those curvaceous hips though. You have to look up again or it will seem very suspicious. Even bigger mistake. Her eyes landed on a pair of delicious boobs, perfectly fitting in her white blouse. The company blouse that didn't look sexy on anybody. This woman seemed to be the exception to the rule.

'Let's get inside.' Callie's soft voice snapped Arizona out of her lingering stares.

'Wha.. Oh, yeah sure.' Arizona's shaky reply was misinterpreted by Callie, who thought it must be because of the difficult period she was in.

'I'm really sorry about your brother, Arizona.'

Her brother. Her brother died. In those few seconds of total amazement, Arizona had forgotten. This was the first time she didn't have her brother on her mind.

'Thanks.' She didn't know what else to reply. And even if she knew, she was sure she wouldn't be able to get it out of her mouth. They walked into the plane, both silent, minds racing. They greated their colleagues and started to prep the plane. Passengers started to shuffle inside. Before they knew it, they were up in the air and it was time to start bringing people drinks and food. There were two food carts on the plane, one started at the front and one that started in the back. As each food cart required two stewardesses, Callie wanted to pair up with Arizona, so that she could keep an eye on her, like Teddy had told her. Arizona seemed to already have a partner though, because she had turned her back on Callie and was walking to the back of the plane, together with another woman, as if it was a daily routine. Callie knew she wasn't supposed to experience the feeling of slight jealousy at that moment, but she did. She reluctantly grabbed the food cart in the front of the plane and pulled it after her, walking backwards. Slowly, she worked her way through the plane, handing people drinks and sandwiches. When she was almost halfway through the plane, she heard Arizona's voice, she was talking to a passenger. Callie couldn't see her, they were back to back, but just hearing that voice made her heart skip a beat. What was happening to her? This was a woman's voice, she wasn't supposed to feel this way about a woman's voice. She had never even felt this way about a men's voice.

Focus, Torres, you have customers.

She had just handed over a can of Coca Cola to a young boy when it happened. Her breathing hitched, heart hammering in her chest, blood flowing through her vessels, reddening every inch of her tanned skin.

Her butt. Arizona's butt. Against mine. You've got to be kidding me.

Arizona's mind was racing. The hot colleague, Teddy's friend, the woman who made her forget about everything when she looked at her, was touching her. Her ass, to be specific. Not on purpose though, unfortunately. To be honest, Arizona was debating if she didn't do it on purpose herself. She concluded she probably did, desperate as he was to be distracted from the situation. This woman could help her escape from reality. She realized that Teddy was right, she couldn't do this alone. She knew that the thought that crossed her mind was wrong. So wrong. And yet, she knew she'd feel so much better after a night of meaningless sex with this woman. Those beautiful big brown orbs would be able to make the sadness disappear for a while, and honestly, that was all Arizona wanted. So she leaned back, her mouth awfully close to the Latina's ear, and whispered: 'sorry'. The feeling of warm breath against her ear sent chills through Callie's body. She was incapable of saying any useful words back, so she chose the easy way: to remain silent.

Splash!

'Fuck!'

Arizona, who was trying to get the brunette's attention and pouring coffee in a cup at the same time, proved to be a poor multitasker as the plastic coffee cup was now on the floor, surrounded by a large puddle of brown liquid. Callie heard the ominous splash and the subsequent curse that left the blonde's mouth and immediately turned around. She only needed one second to realize what had happened, then grabbed a bunch of tissues and got on her knees. At the exact same moment, the blonde did the same thing so the two women were now on the floor, their faces only inches apart. They stared at each other for a full five seconds. Arizona started leaning in slowly, never losing eye contact with her brand new colleague, her heart pounding in her chest. Her eyes darted down for a second, looking at Callie's full lips, before moving back to dark eyes again.

I need to kiss those lips.

'You two OK down there?' Arizona's food cart buddy was leaning over the trolley, looking down on her coworkers and observing the scene.

Arizona was snapped out of the moment and looked up. 'We're fine, Colleen.' She couldn't help sounding a little disappointed. This was the perfect opportunity to kiss Callie and get lucky tonight and her stupid colleague had ruined it. Her stupid colleague, who happened to have a crush on her since the first day she set foot in this airport.

'Perfect', Arizona mumbled, looking down at the brown stain. The stain was past recovery. She could only hope she'd get another chance with the Latina.

A loose strand of hair was tucked behind her ear gently by a soft, tanned hand. 'You OK?'

Arizona looked up and met those beautiful brown eyes again. 'Yeah. Thanks.'

'Let's just get you up then. Wanna relax and chat for a bit? You seem strained.' Callie stood up, took Arizona's arm and helped her up too. Their colleagues had already moved the food carts back to both ends of the plane and Callie lead Arizona to a closed off space with a few folding chairs in it.

'Tea?'

'Thanks.'

As Callie got them both a cup of tea, Arizona just sat and thought. Teddy told her that being around Callie would make her feel at ease. Nothing could be further from the truth. Nervous, clumsy, restless, different, that's what she felt like. Arizona Robbins had never been unsteady. She just needed to get laid and it would all be over, she figured. But that wasn't her either. She didn't sleep with people to get out of her misery, that was just all kinds of wrong. But her sense of wrong and right was completely disturbed, Tim's death had made everything blurry and she couldn't reflect on herself anymore. Callie made her forget about Tim and that was all she needed at the moment.

Callie was back again, now carrying two fuming cups of tea. 'Here you go.'

Arizona gratefully took the cup and smiled up at Callie. 'Thank you.'

Callie sat down next to Arizona and studied her for a moment. 'Are you really OK? You seem so tense.' She stretched out her arm and laid it on the blonde's shoulder, kneading the muscles gently. A moan worked itself out of Arizona's mouth as she felt the strong hand working on her shoulder.

'Sorry, did I hurt you?' Callie looked alarmed and stopped moving her hand but didn't pull back.

'No, no, you didn't. It felt amazing, actually.' She turned her head to look at Callie. 'You can give me a back rub anytime,' she added with a wink.

Did she just wink or was it just a blink of her eye? Callie decided to flirt back; after all, she had nothing to lose here. She wouldn't see Arizona again after this week, if she was rejected it wouldn't be some kind of awkward event between colleagues.

Callie lowered her voice and whispered: 'If I can see a little bit more of your soft skin then...' She tucked on Arizona's blouse, the skin of her shoulder now partly visible. She ran her finger over it slowly.

Arizona's heart felt like it was doing loops inside her chest and she was starting to sweat a little. So this was what months of abstinence did to you. A big part of her mind wanted to just drag this woman home and christen every room in her apartment.

Snap out of it, Arizona. You can't take advantage of her like this.

'Can you… please stop that?' Arizona felt like she would snap like a twig if she allowed Callie to go on for one more second.

'What if I don't want to?'

How is this woman even real? Arizona swallowed loudly, then looked into Callie's eyes, silently begging her to stop.

The brunette got the hint and pulled her hand back.

'Thanks,' Arizona mumbled, looking away awkwardly. 'I'm just… I'm gonna...' She pointed at the door, then quickly walked out of the small room, the tea cup still clenched in her right hand.

Is there any way I can prevent myself from taking her home tonight?

Callie was left alone in the tiny room with some very disturbing thoughts darting through her head.

I can't have her, I must keep the secret. I can't sleep with the enemy.

Will Arizona be able to control herself? And what is Callie's big secret? You're gonna have to wait and see how the story unfolds ;)

AN: thanks for reading! I really appreciate all the nice comments and suggestions, please keep sending them! They give me loads of motivation :)
