Hey guys! First of all, thanks so much for the reviews, I appreciate it so very much! Secondly, sorry again for the delay, I was just really struggling with this chapter. Hope it turned out okay though. It has some more Callie – Arizona interaction… thoughts and flashbacks are in italics.

Chapter Eight:

"She is drunk. She doesn't know what she's talking about, don't take advantage or push her into doing something she or you will regret." Arizona repeated in her head.

Finally convinced that she had the situation under control, she turned and opened the door, before she all but crashed into another body. "Sorry!" she shrieked before looking up and staring into familiar deep brown eyes.

"Calliope…" she whispered for the second time of the night.

A couple of hours later…

The blonde's tongue ran along Callie's lower lip, an unspoken request that the Latina willingly granted as she opened her mouth. She instantly felt Arizona's tongue dart out, exploring her own, teeth nibbling on her lip, glorying in the soft contact. The blonde's hands hastily found the hem of Callie's shirt and she let her fingers wander up the woman's torso, moaning into the Latina's mouth as she felt light goose bumps appear on her stomach. Arizona's lips slowly moved along Callie's jawline, nibbled on her ear lope and travelled down to her collar bone, leaving hot kisses along the way.

She half-heartedly broke the contact as she sat up and yanked off her own shirt before she swiftly rid Callie of hers. She smiled as she saw the lustful look in the Latina's eyes and quickly leaned back down to capture her lips in another searing kiss. The brunette let out a muffled groan and reached up to pull the other woman even closer, the whole length of their bodies making contact. Arizona's mouth once again left Callie's and wandered down her body, passing her bra-clad breasts and moving further down…

Gasping, Callie woke up. It took her a couple of moments to steady her breathing and get some control over the piercing headache, before she was able to form somewhat coherent thoughts. "Did I just… have a sex dream? About… Arizona? No!... right? I couldn't have…" She chuckled at herself, amused by her own determination to deny the obvious. "Oh well, so I did. No biggie… I'm only human, and that woman is about as hot as they come… at least it wasn't Sarah Palin I was fantasizing about." She thought to herself.

Once she was done with her internal monologue, she looked up and took in her surroundings. She was in a small room with bare white walls, a small window and a closet. "Where the hell am I?" When she looked down beside her on the bed, her eyes widened. Next to her lay the beautiful blonde from her dream, a content smile on her face, and snoring slightly. Callie's head started spinning "What? No… oh my God, we didn't… did we? Hell, I can't remember anything…"

She looked down her own body and let out a relieved huff when she realized she was fully dressed. Chancing a look over at Arizona's face, she saw that the other woman was still asleep. Callie's hand slowly reached for the blanket that was lying over the blonde's body, carefully lifted and peeked underneath it. "Oh, thank God!" she huffed and let the cover drop back down onto Arizona's also clothed body. The Latina slumped back on her pillow and tried to figure out what had happened…

"Calliope…" Arizona whispered as she looked into the brunette's eyes. "I like the way you make that sound…" came the husky response as Callie took another step towards the blonde and leaned down to her. As she felt her breath mingle with Arizona's, she closed her eyes, relishing the sweet feeling. Arizona took a deep breath, taking in the other woman's delicious scent. She looked up at the beautiful Latina, and when she saw her eyes closed and her lips slightly agape, she lost all resolve. She took another step forward, bringing herself impossibly closer to the brunette.

When their bodies connected, a shockwave jolted through her own and caused her eyes to flutter shut. Callie let out a stifled moan at the sensation of their bodies touching, which was all it took for Arizona's breath to hitch. The smaller woman reached up with her right arm and rested her hand on the back of Callie's neck, jerking her down to her. When their faces were on the same level, Arizona looked at the other woman one last time, and as she saw the libidinous expression on the Latina's features in front of her, her head started spinning and she vehemently closed her eyes.

Callie kicked the door close behind her and pushed Arizona against the wall next to the sink. Her arms snaked around the smaller woman's waist as she swiftly leaned down again and brushed her lips against Arizona's. A low hum escaped her mouth, which encouraged Callie to crash her lips fully against hers, and her hands to eagerly roam the blonde's body. Arizona instantly reciprocated the kiss, her lips moving in perfect sync with the brunette's, the intensity of the moment almost too much to take.

When the Latina's hands started wandering southwards though, the reality of the moment hit Arizona. It took all of her willpower to pull away and quietly interject "Callie…" The brunette's eyes snapped open, a mix of lust and slight confusion evident in them. As the realization of what had just happened hit her, she took a step back and cleared her throat. "Sorry… I didn't… I didn't mean to… to do that… sorry." Her face turned lobster-red and she quickly turned and yanked open the door, eager to get away from the awkward situation.

Just as she was about to dash through the door, she felt a strong grip on her arm and reluctantly allowed the blonde the turn her back around, eyes cast to the floor. "Look at me." Arizona pleaded. Callie shyly peered up and met the other woman's eyes, full of kindness and understanding. "It's okay." she nodded at her with an encouraging smile.

Callie puffed out some air and eventually straightened up. "I don't know what happened… I guess I had a bit too much to drink… I'm so sorry." she brought out. "Don't worry about it. It was you and me both. Honestly. It's not the end of the world!" Arizona smirked. The brunette let out an uncomfortable chuckle. "So we're good?" she asked carefully. "Yes, we're good. We're super."

Callie stared at the ceiling as she remembered the incident. "Now, that explains the dream…" she reflected. "But she stopped it… which is good. Right? Yes. Good…" her mind wandered. "Doesn't explain how we ended up here though. In a bed, in a room I've never even seen before…"

Callie was abruptly jerked out of her thoughts when the woman next to her started shuffling around. The Latina closed her eyes, trying not to wake the blonde, and at the same time trying to give the impression of being asleep. She could hear Arizona turn on her side and move around sleepily. When suddenly a bunch of hair landed in her face, Callie's eyes shot open and she peeked down to her shoulder. A very content-looking Arizona was snuggled against her, beaming happily in her sleep. The brunette couldn't keep a small smile from creeping over her face at the cute sight before her. Closing her eyes again, she desperately tried to figure out how she'd gotten here…

As they both exited the bathroom together, Joe waved them over to the bar. Slightly confused, Callie and Arizona made their way over to the bartender. "Hey guys. I'm supposed to tell you that Teddy and Meredith had to bring both Christina and Bailey home because they were pretty close to… well, losing their stomach contents. They only left a couple of minutes ago, but Teddy said they couldn't wait for you guys for some reason."

"I bet she did…" Arizona growled silently. Turning to the still tipsy Callie, she asked "Do you wanna… I don't know, get another drink. Like, coffee?" The Latina grimaced uncomfortably "Are you sure? We don't have to if…" "Callie, I told you: we're good. Okay? Don't freak out. So, one more time: coffee?" the blonde smiled. "Uh, yeah, sure. Why not."

And from then on, everything was blurry. She couldn't remember what they'd talked about, how long they'd stayed, or how they'd gotten to this room. Finally deciding that laying here in bed with her when the blonde was going to wake up wasn't going to make things less complicated, she gently lifted Arizona's head from her shoulder and propped it on the pillow next to her. She carefully stood up and tip-toed over to the door, opened it and stepped outside after one last look at the sleeping beauty.

Quietly closing the door behind her, she looked around in the new environment as she realized where she was. She walked into the kitchen of the familiar apartment and was met by the confused looks of Teddy and Christina. "Hey guys…" she said, trying to sound nonchalantly while walking over to the cupboard, retrieving a mug and filling it with hot coffee, all the while feeling their scrutinizing stares on her back. Teddy was the first to speak "What are you doing here?" Simple enough question. "Uhm, I… we…" "She did the McNasty with Blondie!" Christina yelled out blatantly.

Callie's face flushed and she responded heatedly "No, Christina, we didn't! What's wrong with you… like I'd sleep with a woman I'd met only a couple of days ago! Seriously…" she looked down at her cup. Teddy's head spun around to the small Asian woman "Oh my God, they so totally did! Way to go Arizona…" she smirked into her own coffee. "Where is she anyways?" Callie looked up "What do you mean, where is she? I don't know… why would I know?"

"Morning guys…" a sleepy Arizona entered the kitchen, wearing boxer shorts and a plain white top, her hair in a messy bun. "How are the hangovers?" Receiving a grumpy growl from everybody, she mumbled "I thought so…" and got herself some coffee. Callie tried to look everywhere but the blonde, thoroughly examining the pictures on the walls. "You okay?" She jumped at the unexpected voice in her ear and almost spilled her drink. "Yes. Yes, I am fine, thank you." she answered with a tight smile. "Good, I'm glad" came Arizona's simple response.

"Well, as much as I am enjoying this – and I really am – I gotta get to work." Christina interrupted. "Anybody want a ride?" Teddy gulped down the last of her coffee "Yup, I'll be done in two seconds!" she shouted as she ran out of the door, still in her pajamas. "What about you Callie?" Christina asked wearily. "It's my day off" the woman replied starkly. "Okay, well then, see ya fellas. Don't do anything I wouldn't do." the small woman sneered. Just as she was walking through the door, she turned around again "Or, well, at least don't do it again…"
