This is a light-hearted, relatively fluffy fic. Too much drama elsewhere...
I would like to apologise to everyone that I told would see this updated by yesterday - my internet refused to cooperate :(... I hope you enjoy it...
She flopped back against the wall, letting a long sigh escape. 'Note to self, this is not good!' She dropped down to the floor, letting her head fall into her hands. 'Not good at all.'
She pulled her phone out of her pocket, she scrolled through the numbers until she found her best friends. She then typed out a message, but thought better of it. Quickly deleting the text, she went back to her contacts list and found another number.
"Addie! I need you to come and rescue me." She looked at her bedroom door, then stood up and walked further down the wing and into Aria's room.
"What could you have possibly done in the two hours since you dropped me off at home?" Addison asked. She lay on her bed, back resting against the headboard, long legs crossed at the ankles.
"No questions. Addison Forbes Montgomery, you get your skinny, stiletto wearing, jean clad ass here, now!"
"How do you know I'm wearing jeans?"
"So not the point right now Addie!" Callie rolled her eyes. "Just hurry up and get here will you!" She pressed the phone harder against her ear. "I don't hear you moving!"
Addison uncrossed her legs and swung them over the bed, sighing as she did so. "I'm moving lady! I'll see you in five, ten tops."
"Thank you so much!" She was about to put the phone down. "Oh and Addie? Bring your bikini, we're swimming."
"Whatever, you just want to see me naked Torres. I know your dirty mind!"
"Eew! Addison! Seriously! I'm having a quarter-life crisis here and you have to go put those images in my head!" She put her free hand over her eyes almost as if hoping that would block out the images.
"Quarter-life crisis? And why eew, you know you want me!" Addison giggled on the other end of the line, a satisfied smile playing on her lips.
"Well I'm too young to be having a mid-life aren't I? And no, eew, you're like a sister to me. Now stop procrastinating and hurry up!" She didn't wait for the red-head to respond before she cut the call.
Callie shoved her phone back into her pocket, then left her sister's room, just in time to see a blonde head of hair disappearing down the stairs. 'Thank goodness for that!' She ducked into her room, and shut the door firmly. She ran a shaky hand through her dark curls, releasing some of the tension that was building up in her body.
She walked into her cupboard, flicking the light on as she walked past it. 'Ok, decisions, decisions.' She pulled out three different bikinis. First, a royal blue bikini, with a small yellow sun on the right hip, and above her left breast, she picked it up, turned it this way then that, held it up to her chest then threw it to the side. 'Pass.' Then a plain red bikini, that hugged her in all the right places, and possible revealed a bit too much. 'Nope, dad's here, bad idea!' Finally she looked at the black bikini, it was simple and elegant, the LBD of the bikini world.
Having fumbled her way into the bikini, the brunette made her way out of her room and down to the swimming pool. Her heart raced as she thought of seeing Arizona in next to nothing again. She still couldn't get the image of the blonde beauty out of her head; it was as if the image had been seared onto her retina.
As Callie made her way outside, she heard Arizona's laugh dancing toward her. She stopped to take a breath and compose herself. She refused to make things awkward, or should she say even more awkward. She sauntered over to the lounger that she had claimed earlier, dropped her towel down on it then turned toward the pool. She watched as Arizona stood waist deep in water, coaxing Aria to jump off the side of the pool and into her awaiting arms.
"There you are, I thought we were going to have to send out a search party for you." Her mother came up behind her, startling her.
"Sorry, I was on the phone with Addie, I invited her over for the afternoon. Is that okay?" Callie realised that it was possibly not the best idea, considering that her father had only just come back from a business trip. On the other hand though, her father was away every week, and Addie was here more than he was, she was family to them.
"Of course mija, you know that Addison is always welcome here." Lucia kissed Callie on the cheek. "Now go swim with Arizona and your sister before Aria wears that poor girl out."
Callie tackled her sister from behind, sweeping her up into her arms. "Hey squirt!" She laughed with the little girl, noting the way that Arizona's smile grew at their antics. "Are you ready to jump?" She moved Aria around so that she was holding her facing Arizona, her hands placed firmly under the toddler's arms. She swung her back and forth, delighting in the giggles that resulted. "Are you ready? Hold your nose, okay." Aria curled her body into a little ball, tucking her legs up into her chest. Callie noted the little ones fear so she bent down to whisper in her ear. "Don't worry, see that pretty lady there." Callie nodded her head toward Arizona who was waiting in the pool, still sporting a cheesy grin. When Aria nodded her acknowledgement Callie continued, "She won't let you get sore. Okay?" With Aria's furious nod, Callie returned to their previous stance.
"And we're ready, and we're steady, and we have liftoff!" With that Callie smoothly lifted Aria up over to Arizona who was standing relatively close to the edge of the pool. As Arizona got hold of the little girl, she allowed her to dunk in the water up to her chin, and then lifted her back up into the air.
Aria laughed and splashed as she rested on Arizona's hip. Callie took this opportunity to deftly dive off the spring board and into the pool with a minimal splash. She swam the length of the pool under water, surfacing right next to Aria, "Boo!" Aria splashed water into Callie's face and pushed herself away from the blonde and then doggy-paddled her way back to the steps and onto the side of the pool.
Brown eyes met with blue, two hearts started beating so fast that they felt like they weren't beating at all. Callie knew that she had stopped breathing, but no matter how much she told herself, she couldn't make her lungs release that breath.
"You put baggies on." Callie wanted to kick herself in the head. She sounded like such a complete dork right now.
Arizona looked down at her legs, through the water. Her smile spread, as did her blush. "Uh, yeah." She giggled. She didn't know whether Callie was disappointed, or just didn't know what else to say.
"Okay Torres, you had better give me one damn good reason why I had to – oh I get it." She stopped her rant when she noticed Callie glaring at her from the swimming pool with her head tilted toward the blonde next to her.
"Dee!" Aria greeted Addison in pretty much the same way that she greeted Callie.
"Hey there baby Torres." She went to lift and spin Aria, but changed her mind when she noticed how wet she was. "Yeah, let's not do the whole hugging thing today. You're wet, I'm dry – not a good idea." But a two year old being a two year old, Aria launched herself onto Addison's lap causing both Callie and Arizona to erupt into fits of laughter at the look on the red-head's face.
"So not funny!"
Callie climbed out of the pool and scooped Aria up into her arms. "You have been spending far too much time with Mark. Stop calling us Torres." She pulled her tongue out at Addison then plopped Aria back into the pool with Arizona who was now relaxing on a Lillo.
The young brunette stretched out onto her lounger, allowing the sun to dry her tanned skin. She dropped her sunglasses over her eyes, allowing her the opportunity to discreetly 'observe' the gorgeous blonde. The water dripping down the blonde's smooth flesh sent Callie's mind reeling, well if she was honest, it sent her libido reeling. She wished that she could run her tongue over those rivulets of water, feeling the warmth of the blonde's flesh against her hands.
"Put your tongue away! You're worse than those old cartoons where the coyote's eyes fly out of his head all heart shaped, and his tongue falls out of his mouth unrolling on the floor like a carpet. Get a grip woman!"
"You see, this is why I need you here. I don't know what that woman does to me." Callie let her head fall back against the lounger.
"Who is she exactly?" Addison asked, moving from her lounger across to the brunettes.
"Well that's the thing, all I know is that her name is Arizona, and she's so hot it should be illegal."Callie groaned. "I walked in on her when she was putting her bathing suit on."
Addison tried to stifle her laughter, but her attempt proved futile. The red-head's laughter attracted the attention of the young blonde that was still lazily floating in the pool, with one watchful eye on Aria who was playing with various floating toys on the steps .
Callie blushed furiously, but knew that the blonde had no idea what they were talking about. "Cal I don't understand you, you have just about every person on campus after you, and you know it, yet, one tiny little blonde turns you into gibbering goo."
"Do you see my point?" Callie whined, sitting up to face Addison, taking her glasses off and putting them next to the tray.
"Remember when that really hot girl was trying to get into your pants. You know the one that I said I would even go gay for?" When Callie nodded with a grimace, Addison continued. "Well Blondie is hotter." Addison allowed herself to laugh this time, quickly ducking her head when Callie threw a towel at her.
"Well, sometimes I think you're worse than Mark Sloan!" Callie stood up, feeling bad for neglecting the blonde that was now having an animated conversation with Aria on the stairs of the pool.
"Stop staring and go talk to her." Addison stage whispered, causing Callie to glare at her once again.
Little Torres stood from the stairs, walking over to Callie. "Allie-ope must play." Callie rolled her eyes then looked at Addison, silently begging her to follow.
"Fine!" The tall red-head stood up, put her sunglasses onto the chair, which was soon followed by her blue sun dress.
