The drive to Callie's house was silent. The car was filled with nervous energy, neither woman knowing what to say to the other. Walking into the living room hand in hand, Arizona takes in her surroundings. "Wow Callie your place is amazing."
"Thanks…we finished everything about a year ago. It's my dream house," she says with pride as they sit on the couch. Looking down at their still intertwined fingers, her nerves on display as her leg starts bouncing.
Sensing the brunette's nervousness Arizona places her other hand on her thigh to still her shaking leg. "Callie? Are you nervous?"
Insert nervous chuckle here. "You have no idea Arizona" shaking her head.
"There's no need to be nervous, we don't have to do anything you don't want to I just want to be with you, get to know you better."
"I want that too, you just make me nervous." Callie picks her head up to look into ocean blue eyes. "God you're beautiful." She whispers. Feeling her heart speed up and her breathing become erratic, Callie realizes that never in her 15 or so years of dating has anyone made her feel remotely close to what she feels in this moment looking into the beautiful eyes of the woman she has known for barely 24 hours.
"Why do I make you nervous? I don't bite…well unless you want me too" giggling.
"I want you to trust me." Callie whispers with a smirk, finding herself getting more and more turned on with the images running through her head.
Callie is becoming overwhelmed by her feelings and the fact that she's feeling anything, which is something that hasn't happened in a long time. Needing to step away to collect her thoughts she gets up and clears her throat. "I'm gonna go get us some drinks," before speeding into the kitchen.
Watching Callie practically run into the kitchen, Arizona can't help but feel as if she did something wrong. All day they have been stealing glances and finding ways to touch each other. Her whole body feels as if it needs the gorgeous Latina and it scares the shit out of her. Are you supposed to feel this about someone you just met? What if she doesn't feel the same? These are all the thoughts running through her head as she sits there waiting for the Latina to come back.
Callie escapes to the kitchen to clear her head and get a drink. As she gets out a bottle of wine and two glasses she thinks about the past couple hours and the amazing kiss they shared on the dance floor. Pouring herself a glass and draining it in 2.5 seconds, she gets lost in her own thoughts 'what the hell is wrong with you Torres? You have a beautiful woman waiting for you and you're hiding in the kitchen'. Shoulders slumping in defeat, leaning against the counter she is scared of what she's feeling and doesn't know how to handle it. But she does know eventually she'll have to go back out there. She has no clue how long she's been gone but all of a sudden she hears the voice of the woman that's causing her freak out.
"Hey" slowly moving into the kitchen.
She watches Arizona move closer, her heart pounding in her chest with each step. "Hey" Callie's just barely able to breathe out.
"Is everything ok? You've been gone for a while." Standing next to the brunette.
"Yeah, sorry about that." Trying hard to avoid looking into her ocean blues.
Arizona takes a deep breath, ok this is it. "Callie talk to me, I know we just met but I feel a connection with you and it scares the crap out of me. Tell me you feel it too." Touching her hand that's on the counter.
Looking at their hands "yeah, I felt it the moment I saw you on the escalator. You make me feel and that scares the shit out of me because I can see myself needing you and I haven't needed anyone in a long time and it's freaking me out." Callie keeps her head down.
Arizona moves to stand in front of Callie so she can look into her eyes before speaking. "I know on the outside I seem all calm, cool and collected but on the inside I'm freaking the fuck out." she says causing the brunette to chuckle. Arizona continues, "I want to get to know you, hang out and have some fun. Do you think we could do that?"
"I think we can definitely make that happen." Callie smiles, feeling at ease knowing Arizona feels the same way. It wasn't until that moment that she realizes how close they're standing.
Looking into each other's eyes, "What time is it?"
"No idea." Not breaking eye contact, the Latina wraps her arms around the shorter woman's waist pulling her closer. Callie stills all movement waiting for any sign of hesitation, when she doesn't get one she moves in and captures the blonde's lips with her own.
Arizona wraps her arms around the Callie's neck as she pushes the taller woman against the counter. For the next couple minutes they're in their own world, lost in the taste of each other. The feel of each other's tongues sending shivers throughout their bodies and goose bumps along their arms, their tongues in perfect rhythm with each other.
Just as air is becoming necessary Arizona bites Callie's bottom lip causing the brunette to hiss from the pain and moan when the blonde runs her tongue along the injured area. Both women are becoming increasingly turned on with each touch. Callie's hands have trailed down the length of the blonde's body and is now cupping her shapely ass bringing her closer, while the shorter woman's hands are buried in the brunette's hair.
Finally breaking apart, out of breath, forehead to forehead, eyes still closed Arizona is the first to speak "I…I think we should stop." She says trying to catch her breath.
"You're probably right," kissing her on the fore head "are you tired?"
"Exhausted but oddly wide awake." Neither women move from their current position.
"I know exactly what you mean." Callie starts to internally debate whether she should take her home or invite her to stay…in a guest room of course. "Why don't you stay here" guess staying won.
"Why Callie, what kind of girl do you take me for?" Arizona smiles trying to lighten the mood but regrets it when she sees the look of panic on the Latinas beautiful face. "Hey no I was kidding, I would love to stay but only if you promise there will be coffee in the morning." Touching her face and placing a soft kiss on her lips.
Smiling, "you can guarantee it, you might even get breakfast." Callie gives her a sultry wink that sends the blonde in a fit of laughter. She could listen to that laugh all day. "Come on beautiful let's get you to bed." Taking her hand and leading her upstairs.
Before they know it they're standing in front of the guest room. "I guess this is my stop." Smiling, looking into chocolate eyes.
Extremely nervous she says, "Um…there are clean towels and everything you need in the bathroom if you want to take a shower, there should be pajamas in the dresser and there are new toothbrushes under the sink. Please make yourself at home." They stand there looking at each other, not making a move, "I guess I should leave you to it" they detangle their fingers.
"I had a great time with you today." The blonde turns to enter the room.
"Me too." Callie grabs Arizona's wrist, turns her around and places a soft sensual kiss on the blonde's pink lips "good night Arizona."
"Good night Callie." She says before going into the room and closing the door
Callie is rooted in place as she watches the door close, distancing her from the blonde that has sent her mind, body and soul reeling. She wanted nothing more than to open the door and take what she wanted, but Arizona is different, for the first time in a long time, if not ever she wanted more. The beautiful blonde makes Callie weak in the knees with just one touch, a look or a smile. This is all so new and magical and it scared the shit out of her. She couldn't help but think that if she opened up and gave it half a chance this could be epic; it could be everything that she's missing.
Finally snapping out of her inner musings, Callie makes her way to her room with a smile on her face. After changing and brushing her teeth, she crawls under the covers and falls into a deep sleep dreaming of a certain blue eyed blonde.
The next morning, Arizona slowly opens her eyes to see light streaming in through a crack in the curtains. Sitting up to get a better look around, the events of the night before come flooding back to her and a smile immediately appears on her face. Stretching her tired limbs, she smells the unmistakable aroma of coffee and bacon. "She made breakfast" she says with a smile. She brushes her teeth and washes her face before slowly making her way downstairs. Once Arizona reaches the kitchen she is frozen where she stands, the beautiful brunette is standing at the stove swaying her hips and singing softly.
Callie has her back to the entrance of the kitchen but she can feel the presence of her blonde house guest which instantly puts a smile on her face. "Good morning," she says without turning around.
Hearing her voice startles the blonde out of her trance. "Oh umm good morning," walking further into the kitchen.
Putting the last pancakes on a plate, Callie turns around and her breath hitches when she sees the blonde standing in front of her wearing a tank top and too long for her pajama pants, her hair a beautiful mess. "I hope you're hungry because I made enough to feed an army, although Teddy and Addison should be barreling in here any minute."
Taking in the breakfast spread of blueberry pancakes, eggs and bacon that is laid out in front of her. "Wow this looks good and I'm starving."
"Good, come sit." Callie pulls out a chair.
Arizona walks to the table and stands in front of Callie. "My my aren't we chivalrous." She smiles, "thank you beautiful."
Smiling back "you're very welcome gorgeous, I could really get used to this." She whispers into Arizona's ear and kisses her on the cheek.
The two women enjoy a nice quite breakfast together talking and laughing, there's a comfortability between them that makes it easy. After eating they clean the kitchen together, putting food aside for their best friends. Getting two more cups of coffee they move to the living room to spend the rest of the morning relaxing.
Sitting facing each other, "So what are your plans for today?" Callie asks trying to figure out a way to ask if they can spend the day together after her meeting.
Taking a sip of coffee, "nothing that I know of but I'll have to check with Teddy. Why what do you have planned?"
"Nothing much, I have a meeting at 1 that shouldn't last more than an hour and after that I am free."
"Callie, do you want to do something together." Arizona smiles at the brunette.
Smiling back, "maybe"
Arizona feels very bold all of a sudden and ignores the part of her brain that is screaming at her not to. She shifts her position on the couch and is now straddling the brunette. Callie just watches, "oh god" she whispers.
Looking into big soulful chocolate brown eyes "you really are beautiful, do you know that?" The blonde's heart is beating like a bass drum.
"Thanks so are you." Feeling bold herself Callie leans in and kisses her collarbone while rubbing and squeezing her thighs, finally resting her hands on the blonde's hips. Leaning her head on the back cushions of the couch and closing her eyes relishing the feel of the heat their bodies are producing. Arizona smiles at the peaceful look on Callie's face.
"So are we hanging out later?" Kissing her forehead, "because I'd really like to," kissing her right eye "but if you're busy I understand," kissing her left eye, her nose, finally placing a soft kiss on her lips.
Callie feels her whole body come alive. "Jesus Arizona what are you trying to do to me" she whispers. Opening her eyes she is met with sparkling blue and dimples, "you did that on purpose."
Smirking, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Oh really?" raising an eyebrow, "I think you like the effect you have on me."
Arizona just shrugs. "Maybe."
Callie smirks and looks at Arizona with an extra sparkle in her eye, the next thing the she knows Callie pushes her down on the couch. She moves so fast it causes the blonde to squeal in surprise. The brunette is now on top, her left hand supporting her weight and her right on the shorter woman's hip.
"You Arizona Robbins are a tease." Leaning down she places open mouthed kisses on the blonde's neck. Picking her head up she just stares into blue eyes, eyes that she swears can see into her soul. Calle presses their lips together in a soft kiss, moving her hand to lightly caress the blonde's hair. Arizona moves her leg to rest on Callie's hip. She opens her mouth give Callie's tongue entrance, their tongues moving in perfect succession with each other.
When oxygen becomes essential, they pull apart panting heavily, Callie begins to place soft kisses on her neck. "God I want you so bad." Softly kissing her lips once more. But before Arizona can respond she hears footsteps, then…
"Well what do we have here?" Teddy walks into the living room. It was at that moment Arizona realizes Callie's hand has found its way under her tank top. The brunette jumps up and sits at the other end of the couch.
Getting up and pulling down her top. "Um nothing we were just talking," both women have turned a lovely shade of red.
Smirking "is that what the kids are calling it these days." Teddy raises an eyebrow.
"Shut up Teds."
"Ok fine, I'll leave you two alone…for now." Winking and walking into the kitchen.
Holding her head in her hand. "It had to be Teddy that caught us, she's gonna be relentless."
"Do you regret?"
Cutting her off, "no Callie that's not what I'm saying at all." Taking her hand and intertwining their finger "no regrets."
Brown eyes meet blue "I still can't believe I've only known you for 24 hours."
"I know but we're working on getting to know each other better, if that's something you still want." Suddenly becoming shy Arizona puts her head down.
"I'd love nothing more Arizona" she says causing a smile. Callie looks at the clock and sees the morning has just flown by. As much as she hated leaving she needs to get ready. "I should go get ready for my meeting." Arizona nods, "go check in with Teddy and make sure you're free later on."
"Ok" they get up kiss and reluctantly let each other's hand go.
Arizona watches the brunette walk up stairs; she's amazed how this woman can make her feel. They have known each other for one day and the thought of being away from her makes her upset. Could this really be it, could this beautiful, charming, funny, sexy, hot woman be the one? Arizona's last relationship didn't end well, finding her girlfriend in their bed with another woman was devastating. Would she be able to open up to someone again? Sure they've made out and have come really close to having sex but could she let her in.
She's so caught up in her thoughts she doesn't hear Teddy walk up behind her. "Hey, you gonna just stand there or come keep me company."
Jumping, "shit Teddy, a little warning next time."
Laughing, "Sorry, come on you need coffee." putting her arm around her best friend as they walk into the kitchen. Teddy pours two cups, "so you wanna talk about it."
Sitting at the counter, "I don't know where to start."
Arizona starts telling her about the night before and how this woman has totally captivated her. As she's talking she's getting more and more nervous, this wasn't supposed to happen. She was supposed to check on the progress of the store, hand with her best friend and work on her tan, she wasn't supposed to fall for someone, and definitely not as quickly as she's falling. The words start coming out in jumbled sentences, rambling Arizona is out in full force.
"What am I supposed to do Teddy? I can't fall for someone this soon…it's too soon…right…when did you fall for Addie…was it this fast…one. day. Teddy!" Arizona practically yells her name.
Cutting off the ramble. "Ok stop, take a breath and relax." watching her take a deep breath before she continues. "There are no rules to 'this' if you feel Callie is worth getting to know then go for it. I know what you're scared of but you're going to have to let someone in at some point."
Arizona puts her head down on the counter "ugh, I know" before she can say anymore Addison walks in the sliding door.
"Good morning my lovelies" walking to Teddy, giving her a kiss then noticing Arizona with her head on the counter "what's going on?" signaling to Arizona.
"Minor freak out but she's ok…right?" making her girlfriend a cup of coffee.
Picking her head up to acknowledge the red head "yes I'm fine, good morning Addie" noticing her pinstripe suit "wow red you look nice."
Smiling "thanks."
"I'm assuming you and Callie have this meeting together."
Taking a sip, "You'd be correct…so what are you two going to do while your women are out earning the bacon", raising an eyebrow at her girlfriend.
Smiling, "nothing much, going to the store, check on our job ad, we should start getting applications soon. Maybe we could all meet up after, go to the beach or something." The taller blonde replies.
At that moment Callie walks in wearing a light grey suit that is hugging every single curve, a red shirt making her tanned skin stand out, her hair is left loose with its natural curl. Arizona's breathing totally stops when she sees the stunning brunette. She's speechless and her mouth is hanging open.
Teddy notices and whispers in her ear. "Breathe and close your mouth, you're drooling." Her mouth immediately slams shut but not before Callie sees the effect she has on the shorter blonde, with a smirk she moves to get a cup of coffee, thinking 'Guess I'm not the only one.'
"Sorry guys you're on your own, after the meeting Arizona's all mine." Looking at the blonde, who hasn't taken her eyes off her, and winks which causes a blush and a smile. Callie holds her breath, her heart beating in her ears at the predatory look Arizona is giving her.
Teddy and Addie are watching the two of them, extremely amused by their interaction. The blonde has yet to utter a single word. She seems to be totally in awe of the brunette. Her nerves are definitely on display, which is hilarious to them. You could cut the sexual tension with a knife. Addie is the first to speak, "ok well we should get going." Her and Teddy walk out and leave their two friends alone in the kitchen.
"Right…your meeting." Walking to the breakfast bar to stand right in front of Arizona, "it's just you and me later right."
"Yea," she says barely above a whisper still looking into her eyes.
"Have fun with Teddy and I'll see you later, dress casual and bring a bathing suit."
"Ok."
Smirking, "you're very monosyllabic all of a sudden."
"Yea"
"Arizona! Say something else please."
"You look beautiful."
Laughing, "Thanks." Leaning in and places a soft kiss on her lips, "I'll see you later."
"Good luck at your meeting," Arizona says finally able to form a thought. Callie backs away and turns to leave. "WAIT!" she jumps off stool and practically launches herself into the taller woman's arms, bringing their lips together.
This kiss is different from the others they've shared. It's filled with lust and need. Arizona is in control and winning the battle of the tongues. Biting and sucking on the brunettes lip. The longer the kiss lasts the greater the urge for Callie to push the shorter woman on the kitchen table and worship every inch of her beautiful body. Arizona loved the taste of the brunette, and she couldn't get enough.
Neither woman knows how long the kiss lasts but oxygen being important they break apart. Their eyes still closed and foreheads resting against each other. The moment is interrupted by the unmistakable sound of a car horn.
Callie opens her eyes, Arizona still in her arms. "I really should go."
"Yea you should, I wouldn't want you to be late."
"I'll see you later." Callie smiles and softly kisses her on the lips before letting go.
Arizona smiles, "can't wait"
Callie leaves feeling light as air and ready to kick ass at her meeting, so she can spend the day with her blonde.
Arizona stands at the window watching the brunette climb in the driver's side of her Audi and drive off. Her lips still tingling and her body on fire from the amazing kiss they just shared. She is all smiles and counting down until she sees the beautiful Latina again.
