Enjoy!
The minute Callie's tongue touched hers Arizona knew moving to her office was a good idea. They have just come up for air after a very heavy make out session forehead against forehead. Arizona's hands entangled in long unruly brunette locks while Callie's hands found their way under the blonde's shirt and are softly caressing her warm soft skin. Their breathing is heavy and they can feel each other's breath on their faces.
Callie looks into soft ocean blue eyes and nearly gets lost, "God I missed you" she whispers before she kisses pink swollen lips.
"I missed you too, what are you doing here?"
"You sounded like you need me," Callie shrugs.
Arizona moves her hands from Callie's hair and wraps them around her neck. Laying her head on her shoulder, "I do need you." She takes a deep breath taking in the scent that is Callie, "thank you calliope."
"No need to thank me hermosa you have me till Monday." Callie says holding her tighter. "Do you wanna stay here or go have a picnic in the park?"
"Can we stay like this for a few more minutes than a picnic in the park?"
"Of course babe."
And that's what they do; stay in each other's arms. Once they're both satisfied for the moment they make their way to Arizona's favorite deli to grab lunch then walk to the park. Arizona leads them to her favorite grassy spot on a small hill overlooking a playground. They eat in silence, there's nothing that needs to be said they are just enjoying each other.
Once lunch has been consumed and they lay on the grass listening to the sounds of the park, children playing, dogs barking the sounds of people. Arizona has her head on Callie's lap, "this is nice."
"I agree I'm glad I came."
"Me too Calliope."
Another hour of lying in the park and a thirty minute walk back to Arizona's apartment finds them now cuddled on the couch. Callie notices the blonde's phone has been going off like crazy and she's just been ignoring it.
Arizona takes a deep breath when she hears it going off again, "what's going on Arizona?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean your phone has been going off like crazy all day and you're ignoring it."
"It's just my sister she's been calling and texting me nonstop and I think she's even recruited my brother cause now he started." Arizona sits up suddenly uncomfortable with the conversation, not really wanting to get into all this.
"Why are they calling and texting you so much?"
Arizona gets up and walks into the kitchen and Callie follows, "I don't want to talk about it." Grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge. "I'll just turn it off if it bothers you."
Ignoring her offer, "you know I'm here if you want to talk."
"I know and I do just not now, you just got here and I don't want to burden you with my crazy." Arizona says with a smile.
"Hey I like you're crazy, besides you dealt with mine in Florida so it's only fair."
"Ok I'll tell you but not right now, can we enjoy the rest of the day maybe go to dinner then dancing. Let me feed you."
Callie walks to the counter where Arizona is standing and grabs her ass to pull the blonde into her, Arizona gasps and her eyes close. "I can think of something I'd like to eat." She whispers in the blonde's ear.
Arizona moans, "Oh god Calliope we may not make it to dinner if you keep talking like that."
"Oh no you are feeding me before I ravage you; I need to keep up my strength." Callie pulls back and walks into the living room leaving a chest heaving very aroused blonde in the kitchen.
Arizona catches her breath and follows the brunette who's sitting on the couch, "you are such a tease Calliope Torres." Once there she sits on her lap.
"What can I say it's a gift?" Callie says with a smirk kissing her neck. The brunette can sense that something is wrong, "talk to me babe."
"Not yet it'll bring to mood down."
"It's already bringing the mood down because it's on your mind, it'll help to let it all out." Arizona is quiet not really sure if she wants to get into it. "At least tell me what happened with Teddy."
"Did she say anything?"
"Only that you're mad at her for leaving."
Arizona gets off Callie's lap, sits next to her and puts her head on the brunette's shoulder. "I'm not mad at her for leaving no matter what she thinks, I'm or I was upset because of the way she left. I'm not even sure if I'm still mad at her per say or at the situation."
"What's going on in there?" Tapping on her head.
"I have no idea, I was missing you and I wanted to be able to just pick up and leave without a care because someone would be here to pick up the pieces but I can't because I'm the only one left."
"Is that what you think Teddy did?"
"She thought about her decision to move for months Callie but she told me a week before she left. I was so mad not cause she was leaving she has a right to live her own life but because she didn't feel like I needed to know not only as her business partner but also as her friend, her sister."
"You have to let it go though, you can't hold onto it then bring it up when you're upset, you two are too close to let this get in the way. She loves you so much; she's so worried about you."
"I know and I feel really bad taking it out on her, I've let it go I was just missing you and feeling sorry for myself. I'll call her tomorrow and talk to her."
"That's my girl now tell me about your sister." Callie feels the blonde stiffen as soon as the word leaves her mouth.
"Nice try Chica but that's a little more involved and I really don't want to talk about it today, tomorrow you can ask me all the questions you want but tonight it's about us."
"Ok fine. Where are you taking me?"
"How about we stay in tonight and I cook for you and tomorrow I take you out on the town." Arizona says with a big smile.
"Whatever you want babe, you know I can't say no to that smile."
"You did bring something other than your vintage tee collection didn't you?"
Callie looks down at what she's wearing, "What's wrong with it? These are classics."
Arizona moves to straddle Callie's lap, "Nothing babe you look absolutely sexy in your tight vintage tees showing off ever muscle in your arms and not to mention how wonderfully they show off these." She grabs Callie's breasts causing her to gasp. "But where I'm taking you doesn't allow such things."
There's nothing Callie likes more than to see a smile on the blonde's face, well there are some other things that all involve said blonde but right now it's about her smile, the smile that makes her eyes sparkle. Arizona wraps her arms around the brunette's neck and Callie starts rubbing the thighs.
Looking into Arizona's eyes, "Oh well really I'm not sure I want to dine in an establishment that doesn't appreciate the badassness of the vintage tee."
Arizona doesn't verbally respond she leans in and kisses Callie's neck, "so what do you want to do tonight?" she asks in between kisses.
"I thought you were going to cook for me." She whispers trying to get a hold of herself while Arizona is sucking, kissing and licking her neck.
"Oh I am but is there anything else you'd like to do." Arizona pulls back from her neck and looks into the Latina's eyes which have almost turned black with want.
Seeing the same look of want in the blonde's eyes she stands up making Arizona yelp and wraps her legs around Callie's hips. The brunette's hands immediately find their way to her ass and Arizona slowly gathers Callie's shirt until she pulls it over her head and throws is aside.
"Well well Ms. Robbins it looks like you have some other things in mind." Callie says with a smirk.
"Oh you have no idea it's been a long ass 11 days and phone sex is not cutting it," Arizona says before crashing their lips together. They are just standing in the living room Callie with Arizona in her arms kissing hungrily. Tongue's battling, moans getting louder and louder, they pull apart to breathe.
Breathing heavily, "bedroom Calliope." Arizona commands before attaching herself to the Latina's neck.
Without a word Callie turns down a hallway, she has no clue where she's going. She reaches a door with a butterfly painted on the door and she just knows. Her girl has a thing for butterflies…noted.
Kicking open the door, Callie walks to the bed and drops Arizona on it.
Arizona laughs "let me help you out of these closes." She starts to unbutton Callie's jeans but a hand on hers stops her.
The blonde looks at her questioningly, "I'm here for you let me take care of you."
"God Calliope you are just a straight up panty dropper aren't you." Arizona says with a smile.
A smirk immediately appears on the Latina's face and a well-groomed eyebrow is raised, "this is just the beginning you're mine now." She husks in her ear as she bites on her ear, Arizona lets out a strangled moan at the sheer huskiness and want in the Latina's voice.
No other words are spoken. Callie leans down and kisses her reaching behind to unhook her bra; she pulls it off her lover's body and lets it fall to the floor as she breaks the kiss. Her eyes rake over the slightly tanned body of the half-naked blonde beneath her. The Latina's fingers gently trace every curve, feather light touches memorizing every inch of this amazing woman who is managing to teach her how to love again without even trying.
"So beautiful," Callie whispers shifting her body to place kisses where her fingers had been moments before. Her movements are gentle and soft.
Arizona moans and her body trembles slightly running her fingers through Callie's hair. "You make me feel beautiful." She whispers.
Callie smiles against Arizona's skin kissing her collarbone. Reaching her breasts she swirls her tongue around a nipple sucking softly before kissing her way across the valley between her breasts to tease her other hard peak. She takes the pink nub between her lips sucking softly then flicking her tongue before releasing it with a pop.
Arizona is in heaven Callie is slowly taking her higher and higher. "Oh god," she pants as Callie bites a hard nipple.
The Latina kisses her way down Arizona's abdomen, pauses to lick her navel before pressing one kiss on the waistband of her panties, neither women really sure how or when her pants came off but whatever that's not important. Arizona gulped looking into dark chocolate eyes that convey every emotion the brunette is feeling and she can see it there in her eyes, she sees love.
Callie is trying to take it slow but it has been a long 11 days and the smell of the blonde's arousal is driving the Latina insane. She hooks her fingers in the sides of Arizona's panties over her hips and down her muscular slightly tan legs. Finally over her feet and lets them drop to the floor by the bed and beginning at her feet Callie slowly and methodically kisses her way back up, gently spreading her legs.
Arizona lets out small soft moans, the Latina leaving a trail of goose bumps on her way up. "Calliope," she moans her hips moving to find any kind of friction. Callie is slowly torturing her.
Hearing her name Callie settles between Arizona's legs and looks over her now naked body. Her heart is racing as looks into her eyes and she is all of a sudden as nervous as their first time together, this is new. She quickly shakes it off and leans down to kiss the top of Arizona's mound.
Her fingers trace through warm, wet folds, occasionally dipping inside as she explores her lover's body. She finds her way to her clit rubbing it in short circles before sliding her finger into Arizona's core moving in slow agonizing circles. Callie pulls her finger out, finger slick and glistening with the blonde's essence, raising it to her face she takes a deep breath. "You smell incredible babe," she husks out before putting her finger in her mouth and sucks. "God you taste amazing, I miss tasting you regularly."
"Fuck," Arizona moans her head falling against her pillow. "D…don't tease," she stutters.
"I have no intentions on teasing you babe, just relishing in all I've missed." Callie murmurs settling back between her legs, unconsciously licking her lips while carefully parting her lover's folds. She leans forward and runs her tongue over her from bottom to top, teasing her entrance before flicking her clit with the tip of her tongue.
The sounds of Arizona's heavy breathing, moans and gasps are the only things that can be heard in the darkened bedroom. Callie begins Arizona's favored tongue swirl and enters her with two fingers, slowly sliding along her walls. She moves in and out slowly building speed and rhythm keeping a steady pace and trying to control her own trembling body.
Callie moves to sucking her clit as she pumps her fingers, then she licks it then flicks it over and over moving in the same pace as her fingers.
"Oh my god Calliope…y...you fuck fuck," Arizona moans as Callie develops a rhythm. Her body trembling uncontrollably. Grabbing the Latina's hair and holding on for dear life, hips moving in sync with her thrusts.
A few more flicks and Callie presses her palm against her clit as she slides up the blonde's body. When she reaches her breasts, she sucks her nipple biting lightly before continuing on. Still pumping in and out, curling her fingers to rub the woman's g spot quickly and firmly her palm still rubbing against her clit. The blonde wraps her legs around the taller woman's waist.
Arizona's eyes are closed tight, her hands moving to grip the sheets at her sides her mouth hanging open and her breathing quick and shallow. Before she knows it Callie is capturing her lips in a passionate kiss. The feeling of her tongue and the taste of herself on her lover's lips sends Arizona over the edge with a loud gasp, a crazy hard shudder and wetness coating Callie's fingers. Her body continues to shiver moments after her orgasm, the sensations the Latina is drawing from her is too much.
Callie keeps moving drawing aftershock after aftershock, not moving to remove her fingers but is now kissing and licking her neck. Pulling out slowly making them both whimper at the loss.
"Fuck," Arizona mumbles gaining control of her body again. Callie looks at her and presses her forehead against hers and looks at her lover with a tired smile as the blonde wraps her arms around Callie's neck and brushes their lips together.
Callie smiles into the kiss trying really hard not to cum herself. This was about Arizona and worshipping her body not about her own needs. But she is so turned on that she couldn't help the soft whimper that escaped or how soaked her panties are. She buries her face in her lover's shoulder and tried to get control of herself but the fact that her arousal induced nipples are brushing against Arizona's skin is making it extremely hard.
Arizona caresses Callie's face for a minute noticing the almost pained expression on her face. She knows that look, that's the 'I need to cum' look. She smirks and cups Callie's ass sliding down her jeans taking her panties with them.
"Baby," Arizona smiles kissing the corner of Callie's mouth. "Can you do something for me?" still pushing her panties down as far as she could.
"Y…yes?" Callie's voice is thick with arousal.
"I'm going to need you to take off your clothes and straddle my face." That simple request makes Callie moan. "You wore me out and my legs feel like jelly but I want to eat you."
"Oh god," Callie moans her words alone are enough to send her over the edge. She gets up from her position on top of Arizona to finish taking off her jeans and boy shorts. Now completely naked she returns to the bed and maneuvers herself until she's straddling the blonde's face. Always needing to be in control this is not a position Callie is accustomed to but hearing the blonde's words and witnessing her orgasm she needs to relieve this ache between her legs.
Arizona knows Callie loves control and she is more than willing to give it to her but there is something about having her wet juicy center in her face that is an extreme turn on.
Callie is practically dripping on her face; Arizona runs both hands up her bare thighs until reaching her hips. She grips them before leaning up to stroke her tongue across smooth flesh. Arizona groans at the taste and starts gently sucking on the woman's lips lightly touching her clit. She straightens her tongue and flicks her lover's clit before taking it between her lips and assaulting it with her tongue over and over.
"Son of a…," the Latina cries out her back arching from the sensations Arizona is sending through her with her lips and tongue.
"So close," Callie cries out with a hoarse voice.
Arizona moans into Callie's center, sliding her tongue down and into her lover's tight core. She curls her tongue and is surprised when she feels Callie's g-spot.
As soon as Callie feels the blonde's very talented tongue touch her g-spot she grips the headboard as hard as she can, her knuckles turning white. The Latina's inner walls start to spasm against the blonde's tongue; it isn't long before she is pushed over.
Arizona moves her hand from the brunette's hips up her body to Callie's right nipple, pinching it between her fingers while her other hand has moved to her ass as she rocks against her mouth.
Callie cries out again griping the headboard harder, her whole body becomes stiff and her muscles tense. Her head drops forward as her climax washes over her, she jerks against Arizona's face trying to hold back a sob. Arizona is making the Latina feel something more powerful than anything she's ever felt before. Next thing they both know Arizona's tongue is coated with Callie's cum, a taste the blonde never gets tired of.
"God I…shit," Callie lets out a few struggled breaths trying to gain control.
Arizona groans, not stopping her tongues movements until she feels Callie's muscles calm down. She slides her tongue along her folds moaning softly. When Callie is calm and able to move she rolls off of Arizona's face to lye next to her still trying to catch her breath.
Callie takes a deep breath and rolls over to take Arizona into her arms, spooning her from behind kissing her bare shoulder, "I don't want to move." The blonde says into her pillow.
"I don't think I can move," The Latina says against the shorter woman's neck.
"Nap?"
"Most definitely," both women close their eyes relishing in being in each other's arms. Unbeknownst to the other they are both thinking about when Callie leaves New York but before they know it they have drifted off to sleep. Best day ever.
Callie opens her eyes and is met with a head full of blonde hair, they are in the exact same position they fell asleep in. the first thing she notices is the sun is no longer peeking through the curtains, lifting up trying not to wake the blonde in her arms she looks at the clock and sees they've been sleeping for 5 hours. She looks back down at Arizona and smiles; just being with her makes her extremely happy.
Carefully extracting the blonde from her arms Callie grabs a pair of shorts and a t shirt from her bag on the floor before going to the bathroom to freshen up. She comes back out a few minutes later and smile when she sees that the blonde hasn't moved then goes out to the living room picking up discarded clothes on the way. Grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge she sits on the couch, leaning her head on the back she listens to the sounds of New York outside the window as her mind starts to wander.
Callie remembers the day she first met Arizona Robbins, she was so annoyed that she let Teddy talk her into picking up her friend from the airport until she saw her coming down the escalator it was as if the world had stopped. Now look at them almost a month later and they were together, they admitted their feelings for each other. Things were moving fast but yet so slow.
The Latina is brought out of her thoughts by the buzzing of a cell phone on the coffee table, it's Arizona's. Looking at the caller id she sees it's Sarah for the hundredth time so she decides to answer it. "Hello?"
"Hello?" Came the voice on the other end. "Who's this?"
"Who is this?" Callie asks knowing the answer.
"Can I speak to Arizona?"
"Not until you tell me who you are."
Callie can hear her huffing on the phone, "I'm her sister Sarah."
"Sarah you have called her quite a few times already and she has yet to pick up the phone, I am going to venture a guess and say she doesn't want to talk to you."
"Well I need to talk to her so can you get her."
"No I cannot. For one she's sleeping and two the last conversation you had with her upset her and we're having a nice night and I don't want you to ruin it so I will say it again no you cannot speak to her." Callie is very calm throughout the whole conversation but this woman is seriously pissing her off.
"Who are you to tell me anything?"
"Oh I'm sorry how rude of me I am Callie Torres Arizona's girlfriend."
"Well I need to talk to my sister, NOW." Sarah raises her voice.
Callie rolls her eyes and takes a deep breathe, she knows going all fiery Latina on her is not going to help matters so she calms down. "I can assure you Sarah getting mad and raising your voice is not going to get you the result you want. So I'm going to say no again and when she's ready Arizona will call you back. Have a nice day Sarah." She hangs up and throws her phone beside her.
Unbeknownst to Callie Arizona has been standing there the whole time, she just watches as the Latina leans her head on the back of the couch and closes her eyes. The blonde quietly moves into the living room an when she gets to the couch she straddles Callie's lap making her jump and open her eyes.
The brunette opens her eyes and looks into ocean blues, "Hello sleepy head."
"Hi," leaning down and kissing her neck. "I heard you on the phone with Sarah; you didn't have to do that."
"I know but she's upsetting you and I don't like that, I'm sorry if I over stepped." Arizona put her finger on Callie's lips to stop her from talking.
"You didn't, thank you for that." Kissing her lips, "so just to clarify I'm your girlfriend right."
Callie smiles wide showing her perfect white teeth, "yes you're my girlfriend." Running her hands up and down her bare thighs.
"Well good, I'm glad we can clear that up cause you're mine all mine." Arizona peppers her face with kisses while Callie is laughing.
"Wouldn't have it any other way."
Once she stops Callie looks at her with a serious expression and Arizona knows what the question is. She wants to tell her everything but it's just too painful to talk about right now. She looks down at her hands and can feel the tears welling up but before she can say anything Callie speaks.
"Why don't you order some food and pick out a movie? I'm here for you babe but I'm not going to force you to talk, you're hurting and it kills me to see that. When you're ready." Callie cups her face and wipes the tears that have fallen before kissing her nose.
"I want to and I will I just need tonight to be about you and me no outside drama. I promise tomorrow I will tell you everything and talk to Teddy. I just want tonight."
"Then you will have tonight hermosa." Callie says kissing her softly on the lips.
Arizona ordered Thai food from a place around the corner from Arizona's apartment and they each picked a movie to watch. By the time they both were done it was passed midnight so they went back to bed and held each other all night.
The next morning Callie is again the first to wake up so she decides to make Arizona breakfast in bed. They eat comfortably in bed together, and then take a long shower of course together washing each other's bodies stealing kisses and playful touches. Arizona calls Alex and tells him she's not coming in the store today instead she's hanging out with her girlfriend. He says ok without an argument only if she agrees to go out with him, his girlfriend Jo and April that night and of course she agrees after making sure it's ok with Callie.
They spend the morning lounging in the apartment when they decide to go shopping and have a picnic lunch in the park. Callie packs a blanket in her back pack for the park and they're off to discover the wonders of Fifth Avenue.
A few hours later they are on the great lawn in Central Park stretched out on the blanket eating lunch, their many bags of goodies with them. Not much is being said they're just enjoying each other's company, which has been the overall theme since Callie arrived yesterday afternoon. A couple hours of eating, sitting, lounging in the sun and talking they get back to the apartment, forgetting their bags by the front door they sit on the couch. Callie puts on a basketball game just to have something on.
All day Arizona has been trying to find a way to start this conversation, she knows it's important and something she wants her girl friend to know about. The thing that surprises her, not really, is that she hasn't heard from her sister all day, no phone calls or texts and for that she is extremely grateful.
She called Teddy at the park and apologized for snapping and bringing up the past but said she'll explain what Sarah wants after she told Callie. The tall blonde was surprised Arizona is going to let the Latina in one thing Arizona is good at is hiding her feelings good or bad but it seems Callie is helping her overcome that. She doesn't care who she talks to as long as she's talking about it.
Arizona takes a deep breath then gets up and gets two beers from the kitchen. Opening them before returning to the couch, she hands one to Callie then sits next to her. She can feel Callie's eyes watching her every move, normally it would be creepy but because it's her girlfriend she feels oddly at ease.
Callie can feel the blonde's nervousness rolling off her in waves, "Arizona, you don't have to tell me anything." Grabbing her hand.
She starts to shake her head, "no I want to I just don't know where to start."
"Start at the beginning," Arizona nods.
"I told you I had a brother who died in a car accident," Callie nods in confirmation but doesn't say anything waiting for her to continue. "Tim was my best friend besides Teddy the three of us where always close, we went everywhere together. Teddy's family wasn't very attentive and when she came out at fifteen they kicked her out so she came to live with us and that was it we were the three musketeers even though Tim was a year older than us he still wanted us around and he protected us when from everything." Arizona pauses remembering her brother, Callie is sitting in silence by her side holding her hand.
"My oldest brother and sister and I never got along, Evan was out of college when I was a freshman in high school we had nothing in common and we still don't as for Sarah she just never liked me and I have no idea why. They're both lawyers like my dad, married with children and I'm a lesbian who owns children's clothing stores, my sister Jess is the only one I'm close to. Anyway I feel like I'm getting off track."
Callie squeezes her hand, "take all the time you need."
Arizona decides to tell her about the accident which is the worse part. "Nine months ago Teddy and I decided to visit home. I didn't realize how much I missed him until we were there. We were there for a week it was great the three of us together again. One day we were driving home from the beach when a car came out of nowhere and slammed into the driver's side and sent us spinning until we slammed into a light pole." Callie gasps but Arizona doesn't notice she's fixated on their intertwined fingers as if they are giving her strength, tears falling from her eyes.
"I don't remember much cause I was in and out of consciousness but I do remember Tim begging the firemen and paramedics to get us out first, he was begging them to save us. He was a fireman so he knew that they go after the worst first but he wanted them to get Teddy and me out." The tears start streaming down her face, talking about it is like reliving it all over again. Arizona has no clue how is happens but next thing she knows she's sitting on Callie's lap tears still falling.
Needing to get all this out she continues her voice shaky from trying to control her emotions. "I was in a coma for 9 days and when I woke up I was told Tim died, I never felt so empty. I loved him so much, I still do but it hurts so much. Sometimes I can still hear him begging." That's all it took she buries her face in Callie's neck and cries, her body shaking from heart wrenching sobs coming from her body.
Callie holds her tighter against her body trying anything to soothe her. The Latina's eyes watering listening to Arizona cries. She starts whispering in her ear, "let it out babe I got you and I'm not letting you go. I'm here."
A few minutes later Arizona has calmed down and all you can hear are her sniffles. She sits up and wipes her face with the sleeve of her sweatshirt before looking Callie in the eyes. "I'm sorry," she says shyly.
The Latina cups her face still looking in her eyes, "no need to apologize. Do you want to keep going? We don't have to." Handing her a bottle of water that was on the coffee table.
"I want to." Arizona takes a long slow sip.
"Ok." Callie responds kissing her lips then letting go of her face.
Arizona makes no attempt to move from Callie's lap; instead she takes a cleansing breath and continues.
"Things were kind of a blur at that point, Teddy and I were discharged from the hospital and his funeral was a few days later. They held off knowing I needed to be there, they didn't want the pomp and circumstance of a fireman funeral so it was a semi private ceremony. I was a mess though I don't think I spoke for weeks; everyone except Teddy left me alone, my parents were in their own hell and my sisters and brother were dealing with their own families which was fine by me."
"The doctor said I couldn't fly yet so I was stuck in California, it was awful. About a week after his funeral the family lawyer calls and asks to speak to my parents and me. I'm sitting in his office totally wondering why I'm there so imagine my surprise when I hear that my brother left everything to me, all of it his possessions his life insurance it all went to me. I was in shock hell we all were it was definitely unexpected. But I didn't want any of it I just wanted to go home back to New York."
Arizona pauses to drink some water from the bottle she's still holding, it was then that she realizes she's shaking. When she's done drinking Callie takes her empty hand and intertwines their fingers again. The blonde looks at her giving her a sad smile before she starts talking again.
"We put all his stuff in storage, Teddy and I. One day we packed his whole apartment in a moving truck and put it in storage. I couldn't go through his things still can't; neither can my parents so to this day I pay a monthly fee on a unit for his things. I gave my parents the key and left, I haven't been back since." Arizona lays her head on the taller woman's shoulder she didn't want to talk about it anymore, she's drained.
Callie holds her rubbing up and down her arm and back, "I'm so sorry you and your family had to go through this I'd do anything to take your pain away." The Latina is still wondering what the phone call with her sister was about and why the woman keeps calling her.
Sensing the brunette's question Arizona raises her head and starts to answer it, "Sarah wants to go through his stuff she thinks it's selfish of me to not let them but I'm not stopping them they can do whatever they want I don't even have the key my parents do. Then she had the nerve to tell me that I'm not the only one who's hurting. Is she fucking kidding me does she honestly think I don't know that." Fresh tears well up in her eyes part anger and part sadness.
"You know some people hide behind bitchiness to mask their hurt."
"Yea but that's not Sarah, she's a bitch by nature." Arizona says with a chuckle. "I'm not ready but I won't stop them if they want to all I ever asked was that his car be left alone."
"His car?" Callie asks.
"He restored a 1967 mustang, it was his pride and joy it's almost identical to yours except its black. As soon as I man up I'll go get it."
Realization hits Callie, the day she picked her up at the airport she admired her car and now she understood the look of sadness that radiated from her. "My stang? It reminds you of Tim," Callie states and Arizona nods.
"I wish you could've met him, he would love you and vice versa."
"Me too babe," kissing her nose.
The room is silent, the TV is on but there's no sound. Arizona has just shared something heartbreakingly painful with her girlfriend and she is exhausted mentally and emotionally. Callie has been holding her the whole time and the blonde is in no hurry to get up. Almost out of nowhere Arizona's eyes begin to droop and her breathing starts to even out, before she knows what's happening she's being carried to the bedroom and laid on the bed. The brunette lies on her back and shorter woman snuggles in close.
Arizona is barely awake, "thank you. She whispers barely audible, her hand over her heart feeling her heartbeat.
Callie opens her eyes and looks at the mop of blonde hair on her chest, "no need I'll always be here for you mariposa. Now get some sleep." She holds her close knowing it's only a matter of time before sleep takes over.
