Little summary to catch up: Arizona and Callie are both flight attendants for Seattle Shuttle. Arizona's brother dies and her best friend Teddy wants Callie to cheer her up a little. They have never met, but they both feel a spark the moment they see each other. They end up in Arizona's apartment when Callie starts to panic after a mysterious phone call from her boss...


CHAPTER 4


Arizona closed her eyes.

Don't move.

She had to let Callie come to her. She had to make sure Callie wanted this too. She had to be patient.

Arizona wasn't patient. There was so much tension between the two women. So close. So close, but Callie hadn't made a move yet. Arizona's heart was beating so loud she was afraid Callie would hear it. She was trying to control her breathing but she knew she was failing. Callie noticed the way the blonde's chest was heaving up and down and she felt the air that came out of Arizona's nose softly colliding with her own nose.

The wait seemed to last hours. Hours of pure excitement, pure sexual tension, completely filled with the desire to kiss that tanned woman. Something deep inside of her was stirring continuously, like a little dragon trying to spit out his first jet of fire but only producing smoke. Warm, friendly, coiling smoke. But when she felt Callie's soft lips finally connecting with hers, the baby dragon seemed to have found enough strength to set all her intestines on fire. It spread through her body like wildfire, making her want to jump on top of the other woman and do the most inappropriate things to her. She had never been this turned on so fast. She felt her upper lip being captured between full lips gently and closed her own lips around Callie's lower lip in response. She sucked on it softly, released it and pulled back, opening her eyes. They met comforting brown ones with a wide smile before drifting closed again, her body leaning in for another kiss. Strong hands found her thighs and stroked them slowly. Callie started politely, placing her hands just above the blonde's knees, but couldn't resist the temptation to ease higher until she reached her groin, kneading slowly. Arizona's heart jumped as she felt those hands moving so damn close to her center. She allowed herself to take the next step, running her tongue over Callie's lower lip tantalizingly slow. A barely audible moan escaped Callie's mouth as the blonde opposite her bit her lip, then licked it again soothingly. Her hands left those sexy thighs and tangled in blonde hair, pulling her in more and making their upper bodies brush against each other. Arizona started breathing so heavily she had to break the kiss again, their foreheads resting against each other, their lips only one inch apart and breathing in each other's air. A loose strand of blonde hair was tucked behind her ear and she felt Callie's hands tilt her head to the side gently. Next thing she knew, she felt Callie's lips ghosting over her neck, barely making contact, which caused Arizona to pant even more heavily.

'Callie…' she whispered as those full lips explored every inch of her neck, sucking on her soft skin in different places. Callie let her tongue peek out for the first time and lightly licked a path from the blonde's clavicle all the way up to her chin. Arizona moaned loudly at the feeling of the woman's warm tongue tracing her pulsing carotid artery and she couldn't ignore the burning desire to feel that tongue against hers any longer. She laid her hand in Callie's neck, her thumb lifting up the Latina's chin, and pressed their lips together once more. This time, she opened her mouth slightly and her tongue darted out, trying to find contact with the one that was setting her neck on fire mere seconds before. Callie's hands had travelled downwards, grazing her boobs on their way down, making Arizona's heart skip a beat. Tanned hands had reached the hem of Arizona's blouse and were now softly stroking the small of Arizona's back over the fabric, while Callie finally granted the blonde's tongue access to her mouth. Their tongues were softly swirling around each other, occasional moans leaving their mouths. Callie slipped her hands under Arizona's blouse and started to draw circles on her back, slowly moving up until she felt the clasp of the blonde's bra. Arizona's eyes flickered open when she felt Callie's lips leaving hers, deft fingers fumbling with the clasp of her bra. That was when she saw Callie's phone screen lighting up brightly, signaling an incoming call.

'Callie…'

'Oh, I'm sorry, am I going too fast?' Tanned hands immediately let go of the clasp as Callie removed them from under the blonde's blouse.

'No, no, that's not it... Your phone...'

Callie looked at her phone, remembering she had put it on the coffee table right after they came home. Home? You wish.

Arizona was right, someone was calling her. She didn't want to pick up at first, but changed her mind when she saw the picture of a woman appearing on the screen.

'I'm really sorry, I have to take this…' She shot Arizona an apologetic look and jumped off the couch, grabbing her phone and walking to the nearest door.

Arizona frowned and straightened her slightly messed up company blouse as she sat back on the couch.

She just walked into my bedroom. Alone.

This was not what Arizona had planned after their mind-blowing kiss. Callie's hushed voice was coming from behind her closed bedroom door and Arizona had to admit she was curious about the topic of the conversation. I have to take this. It seemed to be important. The brunette had been so upset after that weird phone call this afternoon. Unable to resist the temptation, Arizona stood up and tiptoed towards the door through which Callie had disappeared.

'… called me today, Addy, he called me. Does he ever call employees?'

This was definitely about the phone call earlier today.

'My assignment. I failed him. Something personal came in, how can he expect me to…'

The woman on the other side of the line said something but it was impossible for Arizona to make out what she said. Properly hearing Callie's hushed voice was hard enough already.

'Yes, I know. I can only do my job when I'm on the longer flights. But something… someone… never mind. I still need a key to get into that room. How am I supposed to get anything out of that company without information from my own?'

Another short silence. Arizona's mind was racing. My own? Callie was working for another company? Trying to get her hands on the key?

The key was a phenomenon among all employees of Seattle Shuttle. Nobody knew exactly what it was, probably some sort of a pass, but it would provide access to several very important, high security rooms located in the airport, containing sensitive data and records. The most important room, the room Callie was presumably talking about now, wasn't located in Seattle though. Arizona doubted if Callie knew that. Besides, there was only one key, and it was kept by one of the people on the board of directors of the airport. 'You'd be stupid to try to steal that key,' a colleague had told Arizona on her first day at the airport.

'Thank you.' Arizona heard Callie's voice again. 'I will see you tomorrow then, meet me in the conference room on the second floor. No bugs there, I double checked. No one will know.'

Arizona figured the conversation would end soon and didn't feel like getting caught eavesdropping on her colleague's conversation. She quickly tiptoed back to the couch and switched on the television, pretending to have been watching all along. Just in time, because the bedroom door was opened and Callie appeared again.

'I'm really sorry Arizona.' Arizona muted the sound of the TV. 'I had to take that one, I haven't spoken to her in a week. Don't worry, she's just a friend.' Callie decided to clear the air right away, in case the blonde was thinking Addison meant something more to her. 'And her timing always sucks,' she added with a wink. She ran her hand through curly blonde hair. 'I didn't mean to ruin our moment together,' she said as she sat down on the couch next to Arizona. 'I'm sorry I did. Can I make it up to you? Maybe by doing this?'

Callie leaned forward and pressed her lips against Arizona's, feeling warmth spreading through her whole body all over again. She leaned back after a few seconds, opening her eyes and looking at the blonde intently.

'You are so beautiful.'

Arizona didn't reply, she just looked back into the other woman's eyes. She still couldn't believe the things she heard Callie say a few minutes ago. She seemed honest and loyal. Arizona would never have thought she's a spy. For whatever freaky company. With whatever freaky boss.

Arizona was gazing at a point somewhere behind Callie as her mind was drifting off.

'Hey, something wrong?' Callie noticed Arizona's absent behavior and ran her finger down the blonde's cheek. Arizona's eyes found hers again.

'No, no, I'm ok. Just sleepy I guess.' Arizona didn't want to confront Callie with what she had overheard. Not now.

Let's see what she has to say to her friend tomorrow in the second floor conference room.

'Yeah, it's been quite a busy day for both of us. I guess I have to go home soon.'

'Is it far from here? Do you know how to get there?'

'Nah, not that far I think. I'll use Google Maps on my phone. Let's see...' Callie took her phone from her back pocket.

'Yeah, good idea.' Arizona tried to make it sound sincere, but didn't really want Callie to go. Since Tim died she often had nightmares, but last week, when Teddy slept over for a night, she found out that having someone close to her made her feel safe, somehow.

Even though she's a potentially dangerous spy.

- But she wouldn't hurt me.

'Damnit. Only 3% of my battery left and I left my charger at home.' Callie threw her phone on the coffee table. 'Do you have a computer? I'll memorize the route.'

Arizona, now desperately wanting someone to stay around her tonight, decided to tell Callie a little white lie.

'Teddy borrowed my laptop last week but didn't bring it back yet.'

In fact, her laptop was on the small desk that stood in the corner of her apartment, but a pile of clothes made it completely invisible. 'But you can sleep over at my place tonight, I don't mind at all.' Arizona tried to sound casual and flashed Callie an innocent smile.

Callie had to think about that. Sleeping over at a colleague's place? A colleague she didn't even know that well, a colleague she wanted to pin against every available wall to kiss her senseless? Or fuck her senseless... Torres, quit the dirty thoughts!

'Yeah? I guess that would be ok...' Callie tried not to look like she was picturing the blonde naked at that moment.

'I have PJs for you. Two seconds.' Arizona stood up and walked to her room, opening her dresser and trying to dig a way through the terrible mess of clothes.

She jumped when she heard Callie's voice coming from close behind her.

'I can sleep in my underwear if you can't find any PJs.'

Ha. Like I'm gonna let her. I wouldn't even be able to fall asleep knowing she's in the next room, half naked.

'No, I'm sure they're in here. Somewhere.'

'Do you want me to… help?' Callie was now standing right behind Arizona, the blonde's back pressed up against her chest. She circled her arms around the slim waist of the woman in front of her and smelled her curly hair.

'You smell amazing.'

'You're not helping.'

'Complaining?'

Arizona couldn't hide the smirk that started to appear on her face. She turned around so that she was facing Callie. 'No.'

It took Callie one second to close the distance between them, pressing her lips against the soft ones she had become addicted to since she first felt them against hers. She pushed Arizona backwards against the dresser, closing the messy drawer on their way.

"She's not gay"? Sure as hell didn't look like she wasn't. Arizona smiled into the kiss. The smile turned into a moan within seconds, because Callie's hands had drifted under her blouse and lifted up her tank top, slowly inching up, fingers raking over her belly. Arizona shivered under her touch as Callie stroked a particularly sensitive spot on her belly, making the blonde giggle.

'That's the cutest damn thing I've ever seen,' Callie whispered, nipping on a soft earlobe. Arizona tried to smile but the only emotion her face was able to show, was pleasure. Callie was pressed up against her, touching her in all the right places, her hands coming dangerously close to her bra-encased boobs. Callie was entranced by the feeling of the blonde's skin against her hands. She had never appreciated a female body as much as now. The softness, the curves, the warmth. Damn, Arizona had the most perfect body. The way those muscles twitched under her touch was just... And that tight blouse made her boobs look amazing. Unfortunately, the tight blouse was also the reason she couldn't touch those glorious boobs now. Too fucking tight. Her hands moved downwards again, and Arizona let out a small groan at the loss of contact. Callie started fumbling with the lowest button and worked her way up quickly, wanting to get rid of that piece of clothing as soon as possible. Meanwhile, her lips were moving against Arizona's, her tongue coming out occasionally to explore the blonde's mouth. When she finished unbuttoning the blouse, she moved her hands to the blonde's shoulders, under the white fabric, sliding it off her arms in one swift motion, never losing contact with the pearly skin underneath. Her own company blouse was still tucked in her shirt, but Arizona was already trying to pull it out to even the score. Callie was too busy ogling the blonde's curvy torso, covered by a black tank top, to offer her a helping hand unbuttoning her own blouse. Why did I ever sleep with men? This is perfection... Hold on. Am I going to sleep with her? I've only known her since this morning. This is going pretty fast… Too fast?

Meanwhile, Arizona had managed to get her brand new colleague out of her company uniform and was now drooling at the sight of those tanned boobs encased in a deep red bra. A few seconds passed before she realized Callie had stopped moving and was obviously deeply absorbed in thought.

'Something wrong?' she asked, circling her arms around the brunette's waist.

'I… Aren't we going a little fast? We hardly know each other. Maybe we should… I don't know…'

Arizona was taken aback by Callie's sudden change of heart. Wasn't she hungrily pushing me against the dresser mere minutes ago?

'Uh... Yeah. Yeah, if you're not comfortable, it's fine. Totally fine.'

'It's not that I'm not comfortable, Arizona. I haven't felt so at ease with someone in a long time. It's just… I wouldn't want to have a one night stand with you now, followed by weeks of awkward contact at work.'

'Yeah, I guess I agree with you. We should stop.' There was a hint of disappointment in her voice. Callie picked it up immediately.

'I'm sorry! I don't know what you expected from this. Maybe you only wanted a one night stand…'

Arizona wanted to deny it. She really wanted to, but she remembered the thoughts that had crossed her mind during their flight today. Callie makes me forget about Tim and that's all I need at the moment. I'd feel so much better after a night of meaningless sex with this woman.

'I… I don't know what I wanted.' Arizona immediately regretted her answer when she saw the disappointment in Callie's eyes. Callie could see right through her. She knew she had only wanted to get her mind off things.

Callie turned around and started to walk back to the living room again, but Arizona grabbed her hand.

'Callie… I didn't mean to hurt you or anything. This morning, I thought sleeping with you would get my mind off Tim. I'm not gonna lie about that. Now I realize I don't need to sleep with you. Just being around you is enough. I really like you. Like… really like you. And I think you are right. We should take it slow, because we could be something.' Callie's body relaxed again and a smile appeared on her face. Meanwhile, Arizona's mind was racing, trying to find the right words to form the question she wanted to ask this woman so badly.

'If you're up for it, I'd like to take you to dinner some day.' Arizona's voice was surprisingly steady, considering her heart was beating like crazy and she was nervous as hell.

What if she says no?

- She wouldn't... right?

Callie shrugged. 'Hmm... Maybe.'

'Maybe?' Arizona's face dropped.

'Yeah. My schedule's kinda insane right now, so I'll get back to you.' She started walking towards the living room once again, but stopped at the door and turned around, an amused smile on her face. 'How's, uh, tomorrow?'

Arizona chuckled. 'Tomorrow's perfect.'

Callie smiled widely and walked into the living room. 'I'll sleep on the couch,' she yelled back at Arizona. She spotted a pile of clothes on a desk in the corner of the blonde's apartment.

There might be PJs over there. She walked over to the desk and started rummaging through the shirts and jeans. No PJs. At the bottom of the pile, she discovered something else though. A shiny black laptop, covered by a tank top and a navy blue sweater.

"Teddy borrowed it", huh? Callie smirked.

She decided to not tell Arizona about this, she didn't want to embarrass her. She probably had her reasons for not telling the truth. Callie piled up all the clothes again, making sure the laptop was invisible, then walked to the kitchen to grab a glass of water. The tea cups were still on the coffee table, undoubtedly ice cold now. Callie spotted a red toothbrush on the kitchen counter and figured Arizona wouldn't mind her borrowing it. Arizona came walking out of her bedroom with a triumphant smile on her face.

'Found them! I'll get you a blanket too.'

She threw the PJs on the couch and walked back to her bedroom again, only to reappear within 20 seconds, carrying a fluffy blanket. Callie was done brushing her teeth and washed her mouth. 'Thanks, Arizona.' She walked over to the couch, where Arizona had just dropped the blanket. She leaned forward and kissed her softly. 'Goodnight.'

'Sweet dreams,' Arizona whispered. She walked off to the bathroom, taking the red toothbrush with her. 'Yeah, you can borrow this, so polite of you to ask,' she said with a wink.

'Sorry,' Callie stuck out her tongue. Arizona disappeared and Callie switched off the lights and made herself comfortable on the couch. She heard Arizona brush her teeth and tiptoe to her bed, then it was silent. She tried to sleep but she couldn't. She couldn't get that blonde out of her mind. She had to be around her. Closer. Closer than she was now. She tortured herself for 30 more minutes before she snapped like a twig. She flung the blanket off herself and got up, walking to Arizona's bedroom barefoot. She opened the door slowly, trying to not wake up the sleeping beauty in the double bed. She closed the door again and climbed onto the bed, ending up right behind Arizona, spooning her. She kissed her neck lightly and sighed.

This is amazing.

Arizona hadn't fallen asleep yet either and smiled as she felt a warm body pressed up against her back. She had thought she needed sex with this woman to forget about her brother. Turns out just cuddling was enough.
