I am so sorry it has taken me so long to write the next chapter...I feel awful! I'm really going to try and write the next chapter this week. I hope you all enjoy it :)


As Arizona made her way to Callie's home, all she could think about was the beautiful Latina and that almost kiss. She was sure now that she wasn't making things up in her head. And if Arizona Robbins thought she was nervous the night before, than this was a million times worse. Now that she had vocalized to Teddy that Calliope was the love of her life, Arizona couldn't get this thought out of her head.

Should I tell her that I'm still attracted to her? Arizona thought to herself. Should I just go for it and kiss her? Should I tell her I love her? Arizona laughed to herself noting how uncomfortable it would be if she professed her love for Callie. No, she would just see how the night would go and could only hope for the best.

Callie was making dinner when she heard the doorbell ring. All day she had been a bottle of nerves, anticipating this night with Arizona. She wasn't sure what had happened the night before, but she couldn't get the blonde out of her head. Callie kept thinking about her smile and how sexy she looked last night.

Callie checked herself out in the mirror before answering the door, making sure her hair and makeup looked perfect. When she opened the door she saw that super magic smile Arizona always gave her.

"Hey!" Callie exclaimed as she enveloped Arizona in a hug. It just felt so right being in her arms.

"Hi Calliope," Arizona said falling into Callie's embrace.

As the two broke away from each other, each stared into the other's eyes, as if time had stood still. Arizona realizing that she was staring a little too intently decided to break the contact.

"I brought you a bottle a red wine."

"Oh, um thank you. Please come in."

"Calliope, your home is beautiful." Arizona was in awe of how much she loved Callie's home…it just seemed to fit her. It was modern, but with also a hint of traditional.

"Thank you…I love it here and the area is great too."

"And it smells amazing in here too! What are you making?"

"Well I figured we'd start with a salad and then I made a chicken and lemon roast, and for desert it's a surprise. Would you like some wine?"

"Yes I would! You went all out didn't you? The music, the wine, the dinner…you really know how to charm a girl."

"Only the best for you," Callie said with a slight blush.

Arizona could feel her face get red as well. She's definitely flirting with me, right? she thought to herself.

As they sat down to dinner, both forgot how easy it was to be with one another. The nerves that were once there were now gone, and it wasn't just the wine that made them more comfortable with each other. It's because they both understand each other, they get each other.

"Calliope, this meal was amazing. Thank you so much!" Arizona beamed as she touched Callie's hand. The contact sent chills through both.

"You're welcome, but it's not over quite yet. Let me get desert."

As Callie came back, Arizona couldn't help but get excited.

"I know they're your favorite!" Callie said excitedly.

"You made me homemade doughnuts. You didn't have to go through all the trouble."

"I know, but I wanted to."

"Oh my God Calliope, these are amazing! You should quit being a doctor and open a doughnut shop. I feel so spoiled," Arizona said with a laugh.

"Good, you should be," Callie said without thinking.

"Listen, Arizona there's something I need to tal-"
"Callie I love this song! Let's dance!"

"What?"

Arizona walked over to the ipod and turned up the volume. "Come on Callie…we used to dance all the time. It will be like we're teenagers again."

How could Callie resist that smile? As they danced to "Jump for my Love", both women felt carefree and happy. Both realized that they hadn't really had this much fun in a while, something they were always able to bring out in each other. As the song played on, Callie and Arizona's bodies moved closer to each other. Anytime they touched it sent chills through them. Both wanted nothing more than to take each other in their arms and dance as closely as they could, but both women were scared.

The song was over and now "Embraceable You" was on.

"Sorry, I have it on shuffle," Callie said as she began walking towards the ipod to change it to something more fast paced.

Arizona grabbed Callie's hand before she could.

"No, leave it Callie…I like this song too. Will you dance with me?" Arizona wasn't sure where the boldness was coming from. Maybe it was the wine or maybe she was done with holding back her feelings. She anxiously awaited Callie's response, hoping she didn't cross a line.

Callie smiled at Arizona and said, "I'd love to."

As the two women swayed, with their arms around each other, both couldn't deny the attraction they had for each other. This was a moment that Arizona had been longing for, for so long, and it felt so good. And Callie would be lying to herself if she hadn't wanted this for a while too.

Both women slightly pulled away from one another and stared deep in the other's eyes. Arizona looked down to Callie's lips, wanting nothing more than to kiss her. If Arizona had been looking at Callie, she would have noticed her doing the same.

Their heads moved closer together and they could feel each other's breath. Their lips lightly grazed, almost as a test to see if it could go further. Arizona moved her hand to Callie's cheek, causing the Latina to get even hotter. When their lips finally touched, it was like something neither had experienced. Both women could feel the tingle from their lips throughout their entire bodies. As the kiss grew deeper and more passionate, their bodies became closer. After what seemed like hours pass by, both women broke away from the kiss.

Arizona and Callie just stared at each other, neither really knowing what to say. As they stood in the living room, still embracing each other, there was a noise at the door.

"Do you have a roommate?" Arizona asked.

"Shit! Arizona I am so sorry…I tried to tell you…"

"Tell me what?" Arizona wasn't really sure what was going on, but something in her guy told her that it was not good.

"Callie, I'm home," came a man's voice.

Callie didn't respond, but just stared at Arizona.

"Hey Cal, I'm sorry I didn't know you had company tonight," he said coming over and giving Callie a kiss on the cheek.

Callie finally snapped back to reality. "Hey…I didn't think you would be back today."

"Well I was finished with my meeting early, so I caught an earlier flight."

"Oh ok…I'm sorry, Charles this is Arizona. My best friend from high school."

"Oh right…Callie talks about you all the time. It's great to finally meet you."

Arizona didn't know how to respond. She felt like she had been hit by a ton of bricks and like she couldn't breath. Just a few moments ago she felt like her dream was finally coming true, only to have her world come crashing down.

"Nice to meet you," was all she could get out.

"Babe, I'm gonna go take a shower, but when I come down could you make a plate for me? Thanks!," Charles said as he slapped Callie's ass on the way up.

He's a real winner, Arizona thought.

Once Charles was upstairs, Arizona made her way for the door.

"Arizona, wait! Don't go!"

But it was too late; Arizona was already out the door. It was raining outside, but she didn't care. She needed to get away. The tears were streaming down her face as she walked trying to forget how much of a fool she had been. She suddenly felt a hand grab her arm.

"Arizona, please! I'm so sorry!"

"Callie, don't, don't do this. Just let me go! I've already been humiliated tonight…I don't need you to pour salt onto the wound."

"Just let me explain."

"No Callie, you don't get to explain. You should have done that before you flirted with me and kissed me."

"I tried Arizona, I did. I didn't plan for this and I'm sorry for not telling you."

"So what now? Are you going to leave him for me or was I just a game for you?"

"Arizona that is not fair. Of course you aren't a game."

"So then what?"

"I don't know…this is all really confusing."

Arizona realized she had nothing to lose anymore and was tired of holding back her feelings. Maybe if she just told Callie the truth it would set her free and she could move on.

"No Callie! You know what's confusing? Is for the past 15 years I have loved you. I loved you from the moment I first saw you. And we've always had this undeniable connection and there were times when I would feel like we could be more than friends. And I think that you felt that too. And now I come here, not expecting anything to happen, but something does, something I never thought would. It was amazing and it gave me hope that maybe we could be something. But I'm not going to wait around for you. I have been waiting for 15 years and it's not fair to myself."

Both women wiped the tears that were streaming down their eyes, although their tears were hidden in the raindrops.

Arizona walked up to Callie and gave her the most passionate kiss both women had ever experienced. Arizona pulled away and whispered in her ear, "Goodbye Calliope."

With that Arizona was gone, leaving Callie alone again in the rain with her thoughts.


I know some of you hate me right now, but it will get better!
