Pulling away, Callie steps back trying to get a little distance between their bodies. "Arizona, wait."
Confused, the blonde looks up at her and then grimaces. Turning back around she looks down. Of course, this isn't really what Callie wants. She's made that clear and Arizona tells herself she needs to just stop trying.
"It's fine. Just go." The blonde says, steeling herself against the inevitable abandonment by the brunette.
Realizing that the blonde has misunderstood, Callie reaches up and places her hand on her shoulder. "Arizona." She says again, pulling on her shoulder to turn her around.
"It's okay Cal. I understand." She says dropping her hands to her side and giving her yet another opportunity to leave.
"Arizona!" Callie repeats, turning her around to face her. "Please!" She pleads.
Turning back around, tears streaming down her face causing the eyeliner to run again, Arizona turns to face her.
Tenderly, Callie reaches out to caress the blonde's face, cupping her chin, she pulls her in and kisses her softly.
Feeling the soft lips touching hers, the blonde trembles at the contact. Then hungrily moves forward, crashing their bodies together. Callie deepens the kiss as she plunges her hands into soft blonde curls and pulls her in. Pulling away, it takes both of them a moment to remember where they are, then the understand that they are in the bathroom at Joe's again.
"Let's get out of here." Callie says taking her hand.
Pulling the brunette behind her, Arizona leads her out of the bar and on to the sidewalk.
"Where are we going?" Callie asks confused as they hit the sidewalk.
"My place", Arizona says flagging a cab.
In the cab, Arizona leans over and tells the driver her address and then turns to Callie to explain, "Meredith is moving into Alex's house, so I moved out to make room for them."
Confused, but still distracted by the blonde's body so close to hers, Callie just nods. Sofia is at Meredith's with Zola, the two girls were so happy to see each other again that the two mother's couldn't stand to separate them again.
As the cab stops, Arizona quickly hands him cash and opens the door and steps out.
"You moved here?" Callie asks surprised.
Taking her hand, Arizona pulls the brunette to her and kisses her again. Emboldened by having Callie on her turf, Arizona takes control of the situation and moves towards the door of the building. Callie follows, not willing to let go of the blonde's hand.
In the elevator, Callie wraps an arm around the blonde and pulls her close; still in shock to be in the old apartment building. The things that we've done in this exact elevator, she thinks as she shyly glances at the blonde beside her.
The elevator opens on the fifth floor and Arizona walks right up to apartment 502 and unlocks the door.
Callie stands still, too shocked to move.
Stepping back out into the hall, Arizona takes her hand. "Come inside Calliope." She beckons.
"You're in my, our old apartment. Why would you do that?" Callie asks.
"After everything that's happened in the past two years, I just needed to come home. This was my first home in Seattle and even though it has a lot of unhappy memories, it has a lot of really good ones," she admits, reaching out to take Callie's hands and pull her closer.
"I-I-I just thought you hated this place..." Callie says looking around slowly.
"I could never hate this place. This is where we fell in love. This is where Sofia took her first steps." Arizona says softly, leaning in to kiss the brunette. "I've stopped running Calliope. I belong here. This hospital, this town, this is everything that I want. Well, almost everything." She says reaching up to cup the brunette's chin and look into her soft brown eyes.
"Come here, let's sit down." Arizona says pulling her hand and leading her to the couch.
Callie is still a little dazed that the blonde has returned to their first home together. "Arizona, I don't know what to say." She finally admits.
"You don't have to say anything. I just wanted you to know where to find me. Sofia's room will be set up tomorrow, if you don't have plans, why don't you bring her over and we'll have dinner."
"You don't think that will be confusing for her?" Callie asks.
"It doesn't have to be." Arizona says reaching over to tuck a strand of hair behind Callie's ear. "Is it confusing for you?"
"A little bit, it is." Callie admits. "Although, I see that you repainted it."
"The other couple repainted it. I told you it was too dark in here." Arizona teases.
"It, uh, it looks nice. It suits you." Callie says, suddenly quite nervous. "I'm sorry Arizona, I don't really know what I expected when I got in that cab with you, but this, this was definitely not on my list of possibilities."
"Wasn't it?" The blonde asks moving in closer, "Just a few minutes ago in that bathroom, we kissed and you said that I still feel like home to you." She says kissing her softly, "So I wanted you to know that I feel the same way and I wanted to show you how much."
Mesmerized by the soft kisses and whispers in her ear, Callie's body betrays her and she finds herself leaning into the kisses, desperate to feel Arizona's body pressed against her own. "Mmmm," she moans and find herself pushing the blonde back onto the couch, so she can slip her hand under her blouse. The contact makes both women gasp.
Arizona pushes Callie back up so she can reach down and release her prosthetic, then lays back, pulling Callie back on top of her and kissing her deeply.
Breathlessly, Callie pulls back and sits up beside the blonde. "What are we doing?" She asks, putting her hands to head.
"What do you want to be doing?" Arizona replies simply.
"I-I-I don't know, Arizona. This is so sudden, I mean we barely speak at work, and until last week, we hadn't even had a case together in months. Is this just muscle memory? Our bodies on autopilot or something?" She asks sarcastically.
"I can't speak for you, but that's not what this is for me. Calliope, I have moved on in every aspect of my life. But I can't move past us. I've gone out with other women, but none of them compare to what we had and I think we still have it. Working together last week was so good. I felt connected to you in a way I haven't in a very long time. And I know that conversation in the OR with Amelia was rather weird, but I meant everything I said because I want you to be happy. I'd love it if your happiness included me, but if it doesn't then I'll be okay." The blonde reaches over and turns Callie's face back to her own, "I don't think there's anyone else out there for me and I have no interest in finding out right now. What makes sense for me right now, is to be right here." Arizona says carefully.
Laying back on the couch and taking a deep breathe, Callie closes her eyes to think.
Arizona leans back to give her a moment, but can't help but stare at her. Callie is so beautiful, Arizona thinks as she sits gazing at her.
Slowly Callie opens her eyes and turns her head to see dark blue eyes looking upon her softly, causing the brunette to burst into a smile.
Arizona can't help but return the smile and release the dimples. Callie reaches up and gently caresses her face, brushing her thumb across a dimple, licking her lips, she can't help but slip her hand into those blonde tresses and pull her in to kiss her. The blonde responds moving in closer to deepen the kiss as Callie falls back on the couch and pulls the blonde on top of her. "Oh god, I've missed this." Callie whispers breathlessly. Moving her hands back under the blouse seems to ignite a fire that they both feel. Arizona sits back a moment long enough to remove her blouse, not taking her eyes off of Callie's dark with desire.
The brunette reaches up and unfastens Arizona's bra and with both hands she cups a milky white breast, rubbing her thumbs over taut nipples. Licking her lips, Callie isn't surprised to see blue eyes darken and shine at her questioningly.
Sitting up, Callie removes her own blouse and then in one smooth move, she swings her legs off the couch and picks Arizona up. "We're not doing this on the couch like teenagers." She says dipping down to kiss the blonde, "You do have a bed set up here right?"
