A/N: Hey everyone! Okay, So I got some good reviews from some of you guys. And a lot of you asked the question as to why Callie said that it wasn't a good idea to fall in love with her. Well, if you go back to the first chapter, in the summary you will notice that I mentioned Callie is carrying a secret. So her comment in the last chapter was about bringing up intrigue and setting the story up for the secret to be revealed. Anyway, here is the next chapter and again I hope you all enjoy it. Thanks again everyone for the positive feedback! :)

Chapter 8

"Teddy, It's Arizona." I said into the phone. After Callie had left for the night, I went to bed with the hugest smile on my face. I hadn't felt this way in god knows how long. It felt amazing and for the first time in a long time, I felt...I felt alive. So there I was the next morning calling Teddy to fill her in on the night before.

"I know. I do have caller ID. But what I don't know is why you are calling me at...eight in the morning. It's my day off and I want to catch up on sleep" I heard her answer, with a sluggish tone.

"I'm calling, to tell you about last night...with Callie."

"Oh, well then I take back what I said. Tell me all the details." I could hear her perk right up once I told her I wanted to talk about Callie.

"Well, I took a chance that's for sure..."

"And?"

"And it was amazing. I kissed her last night. I don't really know how it happened, I just walked right up to her and kissed her."

"And I'm guessing that she kissed you back, right?"

"Yeah. I also may have told her that I was falling for her." I said into the phone with a deep nervous breathe. I was preparing myself for what Teddy might say. Maybe it had been too soon to tell Callie that I was falling for her. But I had already said it and there was no turning back.

"You...wow. Way to go. When you said you took a chance, you really meant you took a chance."

"Yeah, but she responded very strangely."

"What do you mean? What did she say?"

"She said that it probably wasn't a good idea to fall in love with her. Like what does that even mean?" I asked. It was the one thing that was confusing the crap out of me. It didn't change the fact that I was over the moon about kissing her. After she said that, she kissed me back. So as happy as I was, I was still very confused about what all of this meant for me and Callie.

"Well, she's had bad luck with love, and she's kind of developed a complex. She tends to get scared when she falls for someone because anyone she's ever loved has left her. That's most likely all it is."

I had no idea about Callie's past relationships. I never asked because I knew that it wasn't any of my business. Talking to Teddy really helped me get over the slight worry in the pit of my stomach. Callie said what she said because she was afraid to let anyone in on a romantic level, because up until then, her and I were only friends. But, I made it to this point. I kissed her and she kissed me back. It was clear as day that I liked her and she liked me just as much. So I wasn't going to give up.

Two weeks later...

Within two weeks of kissing Callie in my apartment, I felt the most alive than I had in forever. Callie and I had gone on a couple more dates and any chance we had we'd meet up and talk or hang out. We were having fun, and it felt amazing.

So, two weeks later I found myself pushed against the door of Callie's office. Hands wildly exploring each other's bodies over our clothes as she kissed me fiercely. She felt amazing and she really knew how to handle a woman.

She pulled away slowly, still holding me, and resting her forhead to mine. "Why don't you come to mine tonight. I'll make us a nice dinner, we can cuddle up on the sofa and watch a movie. What do you say?"

I kissed her softly and smiled. She was incredibly sexy and adorable all rolled up into one. "I would love to. What time?"

"Let's say be at mine around seven thirty?"

"I'll be there" I whispered into her mouth. She closed the gap and continued kissing me tenderly.

"Come on, I've got some time, let's grab some lunch." She said to me.

Hand in hand, we walked down the hospital hallway and made our way to the cafeteria. After grabbing something to eat, we walked over and sat down with Teddy, Mark and Owen.

"What the hell did I miss?" Mark asked as he swallowed a piece of the apple he was holding.

"We're dating. Each other. It's been two weeks, Mark. Where the hell have you been?" Callie answered with sarcasm in her voice.

"He's been too busy sleeping with all the nurses." Teddy added.

Everyone at the table laughed. Mark just got annoyed and walked away.

An hour later, we were still sitting in the cafeteria. When I noticed the time, I rose to my feet. "I gotta get going back to work...I will see you tonight." I placed a chaste kiss on Callie's lips and left the doctors in the cafeteria.

Since Callie and I started dating, work became far more enjoyable. In fact everything became more enjoyable and I started to see things in a different light. My life was finally back on track. It was better than I had ever pictured it could be.

After work I went home and decided that I should take a shower and freshen up before I head over to Callie's apartment for dinner. Once I was cleaned up, the trickiest part was deciding what to wear. I looked to the nightstand next to my bed and noticed that I only had forty five minutes to get myself dressed and over to Callie's.

I practically dashed into my closet and starting pulling clothes out. I finally decided to dress casually but still a little dressier. I settled for a pair of tight fitted jeans and a blue top. I quickly applied a little makeup and was out the door in a flash.

I arrived at Callie's apartment soon after and, a little bit of nerves started to kick in. I had no idea why, but she made me nervous and comfortable and...all that stuff.

Almost in an instant after knocking, Callie opened the door and leaned to give me a quick kiss hello, before letting me inside.

"Hey." I said smiling widely.

"Hey. Come sit at the counter. I'm just finishing cooking our dinner." She grabbed my hand and walked me to the kitchen. She pulled out a stool from under the counter top and I sat down and watched Callie work her way around the kitchen.

It was just another thing that blew me away about her. It was another thing about her that just made me fall for her even more. This woman was beautiful on the inside and on the outside. I was falling more in love with her by the second. She was unlike any other woman I had ever been with.

She set up a beautiful table setting for our dinner. With candles in the centre of the table. We ate and enjoyed conversation and light touches across the table. She had cooked me a fabulous dinner, and I enjoyed every bit of it. Not just because she was a fabulous cook but because it was her.

After dinner, we made our way to her living room with a bottle of wine and settled onto the couch. We sat, cuddled up together and watched a movie that was playing on tv. While we were all cozied up together and watching the movie, she would draw circles on my arm with her fingers.

I can't deny that her touch was driving me crazy. And I mean that in the best way possible. I couldn't help but feel the electricity that her touch sent through my entire body. Before I could remember blinking, the movie had ended and she had turned the tv off. She looked to me and smiled, as she took her free hand and caressed my cheek. I smiled back and she leaned in and kissed me. It felt incredible, and my body responded by pulling her closer and deepening the kiss.

It started out soft and slow, and soon became more heated. At one point I felt like I was experiencing it from outside of my body because I found myself pulling myself off the couch and pulling Callie with me. I pulled her back into my lips and was pulling her towards her bedroom.

She followed and once we were inside, she kicked the door, closing it and lifted me into her arms and walked me to her bed. It was pretty soon to in our relationship to be doing this but it felt right, and at that time I didn't care. She sat me on the edge of her bed and pulled my top over my head, throwing it to the floor. Crashing her lips to mine, she pushed me back and climbed on top of me. My senses were in a tizzy and they were going crazy at the scent of her and her body on top of me. I grabbed the base of her shirt and frantically pulled it off, revealing her soft skin and gorgeous body.

In a matter of seconds it felt like, we were both stripped of our clothes and were underneath the sheets of her big warm bed. She felt so good, as she was positioned in between my legs, thrusting her fingers inside my heated core as she kissed and sucked on the pressure point on my neck. Sweat building up in between our bodies as our rhythm picked up pace. She pulled away from my neck and looked me in the eyes. Her eyes were darkened dwith lust and desire. It was by far one of the most sexiest things I had ever seen.

The feeling of having her inside me was driving me insane at how phenomenal and indescribable it felt. My eyes rolling into the back of my head, and my back arching, I felt Callie take my breast into her mouth. I couldn't take it much longer, I felt my walls closing in on her fingers as they continued to pump in and out of me. In the wave of all the emotions I was feeling, I started to feel my orgasm build deep within. I could no longer hold it together and the waves of pleasure coursed through my body like never before. I pulled her face to mine and crashed our lips together hard and I closed my legs holding her fingers inside me as I held her tight letting my body come down slowly from my high.
