Hi fangirls! Here's the next chapter, a little sooner than planned but I don't think you'll complain ;)
Have fun reading!

CHAPTER 3

'Torres. Do you still remember your assignment?'

'Y-yes.' Callie stammered, her phone pressed against her ear. She never got a phonecall from the boss himself.

'Then can you tell me exactly why you are not executing that assignment?'

'I.. I-'

'I'm patiently waiting, Torres, I have all day.' The sarcastic tone in his voice couldn't be missed.

'I'm s-sorry, sir. Something happened and I was... forced to only work on small flights.'

'And what does one do when one is forced to do something that is against ones assignment?'

'One… One will try everything in ones power to prevent one has to do it.'

'Well? Did you?'

'I-'

'Did you?' The tone of her boss's voice was menacing.

Callie was silent for a few seconds. 'No.'

'Then I suggest you do everything to make up for that mistake. You know what happens when you don't obey.'

The call was ended and Callie stood, rooted to the spot, heart hammering in her chest.

You know what happens when you don't obey.

Arizona was eying Callie up and down as she was having a phonecall with someone down the hall. They had just arrived in Seattle again after their forth and back flight to Sacramento. After the coffee incident, the almost-kiss and the awkward conversation, they hadn't talked much to each other anymore, not on the back flight either. Arizona had asked if they could walk home together, since they only lived a few streets apart.

I wanna lift up that blue skirt.

You can't use her.

The numb person inside of her was constantly arguing with the rational person. Callie was sex on legs, no doubt about that. She had her back turned to Arizona now, showing off her curvy behind. The blonde was almost drooling.

The ringing of her own phone brought her back to reality.

'Arizona! How are you?' Teddy was yelling hard, trying to drown out the loud music playing in the background.

'I can barely hear you!' Arizona got the urge to yell back just as loud.

'Sorry, I'm at this party. One sec, I'll go outside.'

Arizona waited patiently and saw Callie's phonecall was over.

'I can't talk long, Callie is waiting for me.' As she said that, she saw the brunette walking into a closeby bathroom. She didn't look too good.

'Callie, huh? See, I told you she's great!' Teddy had reached a more quiet spot.

'Great? What the hell did you get me into? I can't take my eyes off her! You knew that would happen, meanie. Tell me you knew.'

'Guilty.'

'That's all you have to say? I hate you, Teds!' Arizona tried to sound angry, but failed and laughed out loud.

'Don't do stupid things, Arizona, she's not gay.'

Arizona was silent for a few seconds.

What?

'Impossible. She flirted with me. I just know she's gay.'

'Well, she told me she's not, so be careful with that. Shit, I have to go! Catch up with you later!'

The connection was broken and all that was left for Arizona was the beeping sound in her ear and a lot of confusion.

Meanwhile, Callie had reappeared and was now walking towards her, looking very pale.

'You look like you've seen a ghost! Who was that on the phone?'

'My b- Uh, friend.'

'Your boyfriend?' Arizona's eyes narrowed.

'No, just a friend. I don't have a…'

'Why are you so upset after talking to "just a friend"?'

'I'm not upset.'

'Yes, you are.'

'I don't wanna talk about it. Can we leave?'

Arizona observed Callie, her eyes boring into brown ones, desperate to find answers. The Latina looked away and turned her back on her, striding towards the exit door. Arizona quickly followed her steps and decided to not ask further questions. Today.

Callie's shoulder brushed Arizona's as they were walking alongside each other in the direction of their neighbourhood. Callie wished she wouldn't feel like she was in a sauna every time she touched the blonde. They couldn't work, her boss had been crystal clear.

Focus on the job, Torres.

Right now, she was not working though. This was her personal life, her boss surely couldn't control that. There was a hot blonde right next to her and she could worry about her job tomorrow. 'You hungry?'

Please say yes.

'Starving.'

Callie had an inside dance party, then pulled herself together, trying to sound as casual as possible. 'Wanna grab some kebab? There's an amazing place a just few blocks away.'

Is she asking me out? Arizona was slightly startled, then decided Callie was probably just being friendly.

'Sure!'

Callie couldn't hide the megawatt smile that appeared on her face. 'Ok then, at the next crossroad we'll go to the right.'

Arizona glanced sideways and saw Callie's lightened up face.

'You know, I love your smile.'

Callie smiled even wider, if possible. She looked into Arizona's eyes.

'Well, then I can say I love your eyes.'

'Thank you. Yours aren't so bad either.'

They both laughed as they turned the corner.

Callie pointed at a building furter on in the street. 'Our dinner is right over there.'

'Can't really see where the place is, but I'll take your word for it.' Arizona smiled.

'I hope you have a large stomach, because the size of the sandwich is huge.'

'Might not seem like it, but I'm a big eater. The only thing you should be worried about is how you are going to eat the whole thing. I saw you sneakily devouring that chicken pesto thing from the food cart.' She leaned to the right, nudging Callie's shoulder playfully.

'Busted.' Callie grinned guiltily.

They walked silently for a few minutes, then reached the kebab place. It didn't look too fancy but very cheerful, decorated by a couple of colorful plastic tables and chairs that were spread out in the small space randomly.

'You can go sit somewhere, I'll get the food. Chicken or lamb?' Callie looked at Arizona questioningly.

'Chicken please.'

As Arizona sat down at a flashy pink table, Callie ordered dinner. A few minutes later, she returned with two plates and two drinks.

'You could have chosen to sit at any table and you choose flashy pink?'

'Not good?' Arizona pouted her lips.

'No comment.' Callie's smile was cheaky. 'Anyways, I got us Coca Cola and Sprite, didn't know which one you'd prefer. You pick. And I got us the not so spicy sauce.'

'Thank you.' Arizona smiled up at Callie and gestured to the chair next to her.

'I'm gonna just say sorry in advance, I can't eat this stuff in a decent way. Don't pay attention to me.'

Arizona laughed. 'That goes without saying. Personally, I think kebab was made by people who loved kissing.' Callie burst into laughter but Arizona put up a serious face. 'Not kidding! I'm telling you, they just wanna lick all the stuff from each other's face! They could have made it so much easier. Smaller bread, less meat, less sauce. Or give everyone two smaller sandwiches instead of one huge one. They just wanted more kissing in the world.'

'Interesting theory, I'm just gonna pretend I believe you,' Callie laughed.

Arizona feigned offence and took the coke, taking a large sip.

Callie took a bite of her huge sandwich, almost spitting it out when she saw a pair of curious blue eyes observing her, an amused twinkle in them.

'Wo wah we,' she said, her mouth stuffed with meat and pita.

'Excuse me?'

Callie swallowed and said: 'Don't watch me!'

'Then eat in a more decent way,' Arizona teased.

Callie stuck out her tongue. 'Then show me how it's done.'

Arizona raised her eyebrows in a slightly cocky way, silently accepting the challenge.

She brought the sandwich to her lips and took a bite, never losing eye contact with the Latina. Sauce dripped down her chin as she tried to chew with her mouth closed but failed miserably. Callie snorted as she realized the blonde was no better than she was.

'There is no way we can eat this without making a mess. Let's just not pay attention to each other.'

'Deal.'

The rest of the meal they ate in silence, attempting to eat as decently as possible. They stole glances at each other despite the deal they made, resulting in a lot of awkward eye contact.

When Arizona had finished, Callie wasn't even halfway through her meal.

'Told ya!' Arizona said triumphantly.

'Hmpf. I'm so full. I'm done.'

'Need a tummyrub?' Arizona asked jokingly.

Callie swallowed loudly. She wanted nothing more than Arizona's hands on her. All over her.

Arizona saw Callie's shocked face. 'I'm kidding, girl!'

'Oh, yeah, ok.'

Get your mind out of the gutter, Callie.

'You've got something...' Arizona stretched out her arm and reached for Callie's lower lip, gently wiping away a drop of garlic sauce with her thumb. She didn't miss the fact that Callie's eyes turned three shades darker.

Let's work her up a bit more.

She brought her thumb to her own lips and licked off the sauce, slowly, making sure her tongue swirled around it sensually.

'Arizona...'

'Hm?'

'You're...'

'I'm what?'

Hot, sexy, gorgeous...

'Need some air…' Callie mumbled and she stood up quickly and walked out of the door.

Arizona ran after her. 'We still have to pay!'

'Already did.'

'Oh… thanks.' Callie's pace was so fast she almost had to run to keep up with her. 'Can you slow down?'

Callie slowed down a little but still acted like she was in a racewalking competition.

Arizona grabbed her arm and managed to stop her.

'What's wrong?'

Callie reluctantly turned around to face the blonde.

You make me feel things I've never felt before and it scares the shit out of me.

'Nothing.'

A disbelieving look appeared on Arizona's face.

'I don't believe you. You were acting weird after that phonecall too. Did something happen? You can tell me. I won't judge.'

'I… I can't tell you.'

Of course she doesn't trust you yet, you barely know her.

'I understand... I won't ask anymore.'

They walked on in silence and reached Arizona's apartment building a few minutes later.

'Well then… See you tomorrow?' Arizona asked.

Callie looked at her feet and shuffled uncomfortably. 'I don't think… I can't...'

'You can't what?' Arizona's hand found Callie's chin and lifted it up, looking deeply into the chocolate brown eyes.

'I have to go back to the long flights.'

'What? Why? I thought the boss was ok with this.' Arizona panicked. You don't know what you've got till it's gone. Arizona needed Callie, she wouldn't be able to get through the week alone. Callie was quickly becoming one of the most comforting people in her life now that Tim was gone. She couldn't lose her.

'I- Yeah he is… I can't explain...'

You know what happens when you don't obey.

Callie started to shake a little.

'Hey, calm down,' Arizona said as she saw how upset Callie actually was. She started stroking her upper arms.

'I don't want you to go home like this. Just come inside for a moment, I'll get you some tea.'

'No, I can- '

But Arizona had already opened the door and pulled her colleague inside, dragging her after her, up the stairs.

'Here we are,' she said as she unlocked her front door and motioned Callie inside. 'Take a seat.'

She lead her to the couch and went to the kitchen to boil some water. She sat down next to Callie a few minutes later, placing two hot tea cups on the coffee table.

'Thanks.'

Arizona moved closer to Callie and put an arm around her.

'You're nice and warm.'

Callie forced a faint smile.

'Hey...' Arizona touched Callie's chin for the second time today and turned her head towards her, locking eyes. 'You'll be ok,' she whispered, leaning in slowly. Her eyes flickered down to Callie's lips. Those lips she wanted to kiss to badly. Her heart started to pound and her breathing increased. Their lips were only three inches apart now. Callie's smell invaded her nostrils and made her eyes flutter closed for a second.

Teddy's voice echoed inside her head, somewhere far away.

Don't do stupid things, Arizona, she's not gay.

- She flirted with me. I just know she's gay.

Arizona didn't know. She had only said that to calm herself down. But right now, with Callie so close their noses almost touched, only one thought filled her mind.

I want her.

AN: Woooh some sexual tension there? Kiss or no kiss? Comments are always welcome, I'm loving them so much!
