Chapter 2
Callie's POV
Flashback
The first day of school can be both exciting and new or extremely nerve racking finding your way across the vast school campus. For Callie this was her third year attending Harvard Medical School and this year she planned on being excited for her fall semester. This would be the first year where she would begin her rotations at the nearby hospital. The Latina had worked hard to get this far in her educational career and couldn't wait to graduate and actually practice medicine amongst other surgeons.
The ring of her phone caused Callie to look down at the device in her hand to a text she got from her roommate, who in the past two days has stolen her money and invited her boyfriend over so they could make out.
Hey Cal Rob and i are going to need the room. Don't come until at least after midnight. thnx:)
To say Callie was pissed was an understatement of the century. It was a school night she needed her rest because Tuesday's and Thursday's she had a morning class and going to bed at twelve in the morning never made an efficient student. As she was about to reply and tell her roommate no fucking way was she kicking her out of her room. She felt someone knock into her from behind causing Callie to drop her phone on the sidewalk. As she was about to walk over and pick up the fallen item, another student on a bike rode easily over the slim phone instantly cracking the screen.
That was the last straw for Callie turning around to tell this idiot of a person what she thought of them she stormed over to where they had fallen and started her tirade.
"Do you not look where you are going because I don't think you were and now my phone is completely shattered and I have no way of paying for another one until my next paycheck." Waiting for a response the blonde haired woman just stared back at the woman shocked that she was being yelled at in front of what felt like the whole student body. "What, do you not understand what I am saying to you?" continued the raven haired woman. "Fine sit there for all I care. I cannot believe how rude some people are. Of all days this was supposed to be a good day for me and now it's been ruined by my thief of a roommate and you! Why are you smiling at me like that? This isn't funny. There is nothing funny about this situation." The woman still on the ground didn't realize she was smiling at Callie. But who could blame her. This other woman was attractive and clearly she was unaware of that. "Alright well I'm going, knowing my luck I'll be late for class even though it's not for another hour," muttered Callie.
As Callie started making her way back to the main campus the blonde haired woman was able to get her brain functioning. Once on her feet she caught up to the angry woman, "Hey look I am sorry about what happened back there with the phone breaking and me not speaking. I was just a little caught off guard obviously. But it's clear I can speak and I'd like to apologize again for what's happened to you."
Callie stopped in her tracks she gauged the other woman to see if she should accept the proffered hand or continue on her way. She had said she was sorry and that dimpled smile was starting to make her forget that she just yelled at this stranger.
"Alright you're forgiven. I guess I can't be mad for standing in the middle of the sidewalk where people are obviously going to be walking." Shaking the other woman's hand she couldn't help but smile at the warmth that spread throughout her body.
Still holding onto the smooth hand of the other woman, it was now Callie's turn to forget all sense of brain activity. "So I think this has been the longest hand shake in history don't you think," voiced the blonde woman. And just like that her trance was broken and Callie could feel the blood rushing to her cheeks.
"Oh I'm sorry." Come on Callie form words say something but nothing came all she could do was shamelessly look back at the blonde stranger.
"I'm Arizona Robbins by the way. The woman who bumped into a complete stranger and ruined her perfect day, now do I get an introduction to who you are?" Arizona was enjoying how flustered this woman was getting. She was used to it but this time the feeling was different and she actually appreciated that this woman seemed nervous in her presence. Because for the blonde she felt the same way she was just lucky that words came to her.
"Yeah Callie Torres and you know my story because I spent quite a few minutes yelling at you." This comment got both women chuckling.
" Well Callie Torres, can I buy you a coffee before your next class which like you said isn't for another," looking down at her watch Arizona regarded those deep brown eyes before she continued "another forty five minutes?"
How could Callie not accept this offer but she was going to have to because she promised her best friend Addison Montgomery that they'd have lunch before their class on Pediatric Care. "I wish I could but I promised to meet up with a friend. I would ask for your number and say let's meet later but that's impossible with a broken phone. So hopefully I'll see you some time and you could get me that coffee you now owe me." Callie was truly beginning to regret her decision, but just as she was about to take it all back Addison came up seemingly a bit annoyed for being ignored for fifteen minutes.
"Cal, I've been trying to call and text you and you're not even answering that damn phone of yours. I thought we were going to lunch." Addison was thoroughly pissed due to her boyfriend of two years deciding that today was the day to tell her that he was no longer in love with her because some busty blonde turned his way and now she needed her best friend to tell her it would be okay.
"We are. Sorry there was an incident and my phone broke. Just give me a sec alright." Looking back at Arizona she knew this wasn't good bye but she couldn't help but feel in some strange way that she'd never see the woman again. "If you want you could join us that way I still get that coffee." Callie knew she was being hopeful but why shouldn't she be Arizona was giving her butterflies and the good kind that make you want to skip everywhere you go.
Arizona wanted to say yes, but the way the red head was staring at her it was best that she leave the two women to themselves and that meant she'd have to say goodbye. "I'd like to but I have a feeling I'll be seeing you soon." And like that Arizona made her way to her next class in hopes that she could start some early reading to distract herself from the raven haired beauty.
"What was that about Callie is she some new girlfriend that I should know about because I've never seen her and you have yet to mention anyone of importance." Addison smirked as the Latina continued to stare at the retreating blonde.
"Don't start with me Addie I just met the woman."
"Mhmm and I am Kate Walsh. Let's get a move on it lover girl." Oh yeah Addison knew that her best friend was love stricken by this mysterious woman.
#######
Making their way to the Pediatric Care class Callie can see the class is almost full, but the few seats in the middle of the auditorium. She didn't want to take this class but Addison convinced her that they needed at least one class together this semester and Addie won the game of rock, paper, scissors.
"I cannot believe people are actually interested in taking this course. This class is almost full you'd think everyone would rather take something a bit more interesting like I don't know Neurology or even better Ortho." Callie wanted to be happy that she'd be sharing a class with her friend but she really was not at all interested in the course material. As the Latina sat at her desk waiting for the professor to enter the room a familiar blonde appeared in the doorway. Maybe this class was a godsend because she was going to share a class with Arizona. When those bright blue eyes found brown ones, both women smiled causing the red head to groan loudly at ridiculousness of her friend.
"Callie stop staring it's weird and this is not the Callie Torres I know. Get your shit together because you're starting to drool." The brunette sheepishly turned away, but couldn't help but smile when she noticed Arizona make her way to the vacated seat next to hers.
"Is this seat taken?" How this man got here Callie had no clue, but one thing was for sure she had no intention sitting next to him for the next two and a half hours.
Throwing her leg on the chair before the other student couldn't even sit down Callie shouted, "Yes, so beat it."
Arizona made her way to the coveted seat and smiled at the Latina before pointing towards the back of the classroom, "Looks like there is seat back there calling your name Lucas."
"Are you serious Arizona I was here before you and how am I supposed to hear anything all the way back there?" Lucas could not believe he was losing his seat to a woman who was his biggest competition when it came to Pediatrics. They had meet their first year in Med school and discovered they both had the same interest in PEDs. It wasn't until after their first semester they had both began the battle of who was better, when Arizona received a slow clap after her presentation of regenerative research on short bowel syndrome, the rivalry began.
"Well when you don't have a hot new friend saving you a seat it looks like you're out of luck. Move along now Lucas." Arizona smiled an appreciative smile to the other woman truly grateful that she would not have to be the person in the back of the room struggling to hear.
With one final huff Lucas made his way towards the back of the room. "Thanks for helping me out there. I guess I owe you. Maybe lunch this time." Arizona stated before quickly taking her seat.
Callie was about to agree when their professor came in already speaking a mile a minute. "Okay listen up I'm Dr. Lisa Peyton and I am your instructor for Pediatric Care. School policy states that I have to take attendance on the first day so let's make this quick."
This was the part of school Callie hated the most. Why couldn't her parents give her a simple name so her fellow students wouldn't always laugh when her name was read? But it looked like that was what was going to be the response for this class and not because they found her name humorous it was due to the fact that it was the third time the teacher had to say her name that Callie realized she wasn't paying attention.
"Calliope Torres going once, twice-"
"Here," Callie shouted causing the class to burst into laughter at her boisterous announcement.
"Alright Ms. Torres maybe next time we could pay attention." Even Dr. Peyton tried not to laugh at the student's now obvious flustered state.
Fortunately for the brunette the rest of the class went by without any more incidents on her part. Packing her bag Callie felt a warm breath on the back of her ear whisper, "See you around Calliope." Turning around to stop the blonde she was too late as she was already making her way out the door.
"What now Cal? Do you want to hang out in my room since your roommate and her boyfriend will be doing the horizontal tango all night." Addison wasn't always one to flaunt her money but had no problem paying the extra money to get her own room at the school.
"Yeah I guess so. It's not like I have anywhere else to go."
"Wow Callie tell me how it really is."
It had been a long day for the Latina and she didn't mean to give her friend grief about her own suffering but she couldn't help it. "Sorry Addie. Let's just go maybe have a few beers before we crack open our textbooks," suggested Callie.
"There's the woman I know," responded Addison.
#######
Two long weeks and the only thing either Callie or Arizona said to each other were words of greeting and that was it. But today Calliope Torres was going to change that or so she hoped because she was feeling nervous that maybe the blonde wasn't interested anymore. She had two weeks to ask Callie out and nothing. Maybe she was busy like every other med school student right? That's what she had to keep telling herself if she was going to get through the class and just ask the other woman out for coffee or lunch. She wasn't suggesting they move in or buy matching best friend bracelets. What if she asked for help on the course material? There is no way someone can deny another student help because they were all going to struggle at one point and needed to lean on their fellow students for support.
Yep, Callie had a plan now she just needed to sit still and act like she was really listening to the professor's lecture on what? She wasn't quite sure. At one point she heard something on cleft palates but then that last word coming from Dr. Peyton's mouth sounded like osteosarcoma. Yeah, the Latina needed to focus or she was really going to need help for this class.
With the sound of notebooks being put back in bags and the shuffling feet moving to the door Callie was pulled out of her reverie before Arizona could leave again. Make words Callie quick, "Hey wait. Arizona," she called out. The blonde was surprised to see the nervous look the other woman had on, as she usually held an air of confidence. Speaking with a steady voice she looked the blonde in the eye, "I was wondering if you were free to help me study for the test next week. You know if you're not busy, because some of these terms are just not sticking with me and well it seems like you understand the material."
This was her question? Arizona had thought that maybe she was going to be taken up on her offer. But these past couple of weeks have been proven difficult, because every time she made an attempt to ask Callie out her friend was there dragging her away. Well this was better than nothing, "Of course. I'm free this Saturday if you want to get together than. I live off campus so it might be easier to come to my place or the library works too." She had to throw in the library, the other woman might not feel comfortable being in a stranger's home by herself.
Addison was amused that her friend was feigning ignorance when she knew full well that her friend was ready for the test next Tuesday. The Latina was a great partner to study with because the Torres method never failed.
Speaking up for her friend, who was just chewing on her bottom lip trying to think which place was safer for her to not do something stupid, "I think your apartment is our best option, because me and all that other noise gets me distracted right Callie?"
She knew her friend was not happy but the red head hardly knew this Arizona person other than the fact that her friend gushed about how hot she was. And a best friend always has to put their stamp of approval to protect the other.
It was Arizona's turn to speak up now, "Wait you want me to teach both of you?" She was not at all pleased because the red head made her uncomfortable with that glare she received from her.
She had missed out on it just being the two of them because Callie couldn't think quick enough, "Um yeah, if you don't mind that is," she quickly stated.
"No I don't see the problem in that." Scribbling her address on a piece of paper, Arizona handed it to the Latina, "That's my address I'll see you around 4?"
"Make it 5. I have to work and it might take me a while to get my notes together and find your place." Callie hated that she worked for most of the weekend, but when money became tight she had to suck it up and find a job.
With that Arizona was on her way out the door after agreeing to meet up with her classmates for study session. Yay!
Looking back at her friend Callie glared, "You know you're not invited," she understood why Addison stepped in trying to play the role of best friend. But Callie didn't need her help, not with this anyway.
Addison laughed, "Why? Do you plan on spending your study session naked because if not I plan on being there," she wasn't going to let the brunette off easily.
"No, but it was my idea and plus she's my friend not yours and I'm sure the invitation was not extended to you," Callie retorted
By the looks of it Addie had no way she could get in on this "study session" because it was obvious her friend was a genius and wanted alone time, "Fine, but I want the dirty details after your session," sighed Addison.
#######
Saturday came quickly and looking at the clock on her night stand Callie was already eleven minutes late because her ass of a boss wanted her to clean all the tables and take out the trash before she left. And now with one shoe on Callie ran out of her room with her bag thrown over her shoulder to make quick work on hunting the blonde's apartment building that was close to the school's campus.
Fifteen minutes later and many wrong turns, the brunette was pretty sure this was the building because if not she was throwing in the towel. Looking at the list of names by the door Callie found a Robbins, A that she was hoping was the correct one.
Pressing the buzzer a breathy response came through the box, "Hey is this Callie?" Arizona had thought that maybe she was being stood up and when the sound of the buzzer filled her apartment stumbled off her couch to respond to the person at the door.
Clearing her throat, "Yeah, sorry I'm late," the raven haired woman was hoping that the blonde would not be mad at her for being almost a half hour late.
"No problem. I'm buzzing you in now," came Arizona's reply
Opening the door after hearing the lock release Callie bounded up the stairs two at a time to the third story of the building.
Now definitely out of breath, Arizona opened the door before she had time to knock with a breathtaking smile plastered on her face. "Hey that was fast. Here let me grab your bag," quickly removing the other woman's bag she led Callie to her living room that she had spent most of the morning cleaning.
"Nice place it's really clean and homey," Callie liked that even in the small space the blonde was able to cover the walls and open surfaces with pictures that provided the room with comfort.
Smiling at the other woman Arizona replied, "Well I couldn't paint the walls so I had to put something to make the space feel lively."
Standing in the middle of the room both women forgot why they were here as they got lost in admiring the fact that they were sharing the same space with each other. Speaking up Arizona asked, "So how was work? I hope you're not too tired to study."
"Oh no not at all and I'm sorry about being late. My boss knows how to be a complete douche sometimes," laughed Callie.
"No need to apologize I understand. My summer job was nothing light of easy and that was because the guy I worked for liked to stare at all the girl's asses and make snide comments, but I couldn't quit since there was nothing else available nearby." Arizona didn't even realize the woman's friend wasn't in the room until she broke the staring contest they had to look around the room, "Where's your friend?" she questioned.
Callie was thankful that her threats to Addison worked because she did not want to spend the Saturday with her and Arizona, "She forgot she already had plans tonight so it's just me today. I hope you don't mind." Now Callie was second guessing her decision because maybe the other woman did, but was relieved when she spoke up.
"This is fine too," Arizona was indeed grateful for whatever plans the red head had. "Um should we get started I don't know how long this could take and I'm sure we'll need all the time we could get."
Agreeing with the other woman they made their way over to the couch where Arizona had her notes already laid out for them to use. The blonde figured very quickly that Callie had made up the whole situation when she easily answered all the questions she threw at her even when it was material they had yet to learn in class or be assigned to read for homework.
"I think you're going to do great on Tuesday, but I don't think you needed my help for that did you?" They had worked for a couple of hours and Arizona was starting to get tired looking over the scrawl of her own handwriting.
Caught in her lie Callie figured it was best to come clean, "No, I didn't but it came out before I could ask you out and I figured it was a safe place to start for us without there being expectations."
Arizona understood the other woman's choice and hoped maybe she could assume that if she did ask her out she wouldn't be shot down, "And what expectations might those be Calliope?" she could tell her question flustered the other woman, but it was cute to see her blush.
Trying to come up with an explanation Callie could feel her face redden, "Hmm I think I'm being presumptuous then," she truly thought that the blonde had been interested with the small contact she would try to keep with the Latina and stolen glances that weren't going unnoticed by either women.
Moving close Arizona spoke a hairs breath away from Callie's lips, "Not presumptuous at all," she could feel the raven haired woman move closer to her as she continued, "but I don't kiss until after the first date." As she moved back she could see the Latina try to keep up.
"Are you asking me out on a date Arizona," Callie was thankful when words did come she didn't make a fool of herself.
But the smirk on the other woman's face made the brunette start to doubt her, "What if I am Calliope? Do you want to go out with me? Because once you accept be prepared to be wooed," Arizona responded.
"God yes!" Clearing her throat to not sound so excited as Callie continued, "I mean if you want to woo me I'd like to be wooed by you Arizona," smiled Callie.
Arizona grinned at the woman's reply and began to feel the excitement of having the privilege of charming one Calliope Torres. "I'd love to take you out on a date. Does next Friday work for you?" Arizona wanted to take her out now so she could get that goodnight kiss, but good things came to people who waited so that was her plan, wait.
Callie on the other hand was clearly disappointed that she'd have to wait that long for this date, "Friday work's for me, but its late now so I should get back to my dorm."
Standing up they both headed towards the door, "Well I enjoyed studying with you Callie. Maybe next time ask me out and then we don't have to wait a week for a date we'd rather be on," smiled Arizona.
Annoyed with herself Callie laughed, "I'll remember that next time but let's see what you think after the first date."
"Oh I have no doubt that you will not disappoint me Calliope," Arizona liked how comfortable the Latina made being around her feel and she never experienced this ease with another woman.
Saying their goodbye's Callie made her way back to her room with a certain blonde on her mind and this date she couldn't wait to have with the woman.
#######
Were those the longest six days for both women, but now Callie was a little worried when she was told to wear clothes she could get dirty in. It's not that she didn't mind getting a little dirt on her but it had been a while since she did anything too physical. And her workout's now consisted of Addie and her walking on the tread mill checking out the hotties of the gym.
As she waited in front of the school for the blonde, Callie tried to calm the nerves that were building up in her stomach. Just as she was feeling relaxed a small black car stopped in front of her and out jumped Arizona. Now with raging butterflies swarming in her stomach the brunette made her way to her date.
The blonde was trying not to stare, but damn Callie Torres knew how to work a pair of shorts and the fitted grey tank top she had on did nothing to hide her ample breasts. When the Latina just stared back at her she knew that she made the right choice in choosing her own pair of dark blue soccer shorts and white tank top, where the other woman could see the black sports bra underneath.
Opening the passenger door for the other woman Arizona spoke up, "You look great Calliope. Ready to work up a sweat?" making her way to the other side she quickly got in and buckled before the Latina replied.
"Is this date going to be in your bedroom?" asked Callie. She laughed at Arizona's reddening cheeks.
Starting the car she looked over at the raven haired woman. Those eyes she couldn't help but smile even more at how sincere they showed even when she was being teased.
"That type of sweating will come on the third date Calliope," Arizona was hopeful that she got to have more than just three dates with Callie. She wouldn't mind if she went on a date with her for the rest of her life.
They made their way down to the local park where it was full of kids and their parents. Callie was still confused as to what this date entailed but tried to stay optimistic that it would be fun. As they made their way to group of boys and girls around the age of eleven Arizona grabbed her hand before addressing the group.
The kids all turned around when they saw the familiar blonde stop in front of them, "Hey kids this is Calliope the girl I told you I'd bring for us to make our teams fair. And she's my date so let's all welcome her to the group," said Arizona to the group of kids who looked curiously at their guest.
Now Callie was confused she thought they were on a date she didn't know how playing with kids was supposed to woo her, "Hi Calliope," the kids all greeted.
She smiled at them okay maybe it couldn't be that bad, "Hey everyone, you can call me Callie though," looking back at Arizona she could see her pulling out two different colored scrimmage vests from a bag she had brought with her.
"Alright, Callie and I will be the captains so everyone line up and will go down the line to number you off. Those who get one go with Callie and two's come with me," Arizona spoke to the kids as they were already making their way to the line. They were familiar with the drill to know what to do by now.
With the teams set Arizona handed Callie the green jersey, "Good luck Calliope. Loser buys ice cream," winked Arizona.
Callie hadn't played soccer since middle school and was hoping that she wasn't rusty on the field, but she'd be damned not to give it her all. As she joined the rest of her group, all sporting the similar green jerseys, they all set up where every person would play.
On the other side of the field Arizona was doing the same thing. It had been decided that Callie's team would start with the kick off since they won the coin toss before stepping on the field.
Arizona stood up front waiting for the ball to be passed amongst the two players on the other team before making her move. She tried to play fair with the kids but it was never easy to tame her competitive side. And just as the ball was passed she could see where it was headed to just in time to step in.
Slipping passed the boy who was about to kick the ball to one of his mid fielders Arizona stole the ball and made her way down the right of the field to make the first goal of the game.
But Callie who was playing defense charged after her clearing the ball to the top of the field to the small girl who was waiting for the pass.
The blonde was taken by surprise that in an instant the ball had been taken from her, "Are you a professional Calliope Torres because you've got some great moves?" Arizona liked that the brunette had gotten into the game.
Laughing Callie answered, "Nope but maybe next time don't be so obvious with your plays and it helps to pass the ball to the other players. You know to keep us on our feet."
No one had ever told her how to play her game and she was enjoying that Callie didn't mind saying exactly that. Looks like she was going to have to work a lot harder than she had planned for and Arizona had no problem with that challenge.
Throughout the game she was able to score two goals, but every time she or any of her teams tried to make it near the goal Callie was always there to move the ball up. The green team had just tied up when Ben kicked the ball at the green team's goalie Rebecca causing her to have a bloody nose and split lip.
Callie sidled next to Arizona as she cleaned the little girls face of blood, "I guess you won't be getting your ice cream after all," spoke the raven haired woman.
Arizona looked over to where Callie sat at the metal bench and liked how after their little scrimmage her neat pony tail now was loose and the way the hair that got out stuck to the sheen of sweat that coated her caramel skin.
Pulling herself out of her thoughts with the shake of the head, "I'm still taking you out for ice cream. My treat since you put me in place on the field," smiled Arizona.
After they waited for the kids to leave they packed their bags and made their way back to the car. The ride to ice cream shop was quiet but felt natural to both women.
Once inside, they each ordered a cone of strawberry ice cream and smiled at each other for the coincidence of favoring the same flavor.
Picking a booth in the corner of the room Callie started the conversation, "So do you always take your dates out to play soccer with a bunch of kids?" The brunette was used to movie and dinner as her usual first date, but liked the change up that the blonde had supplied.
Shaking her head, "No, I volunteer with a Boy's and Girl's program to help keep the kid's out of trouble and you seemed like a person who would appreciate spending time with them. Plus they really like when adults are around. It gives them someone to look up to," explained Arizona.
Callie thought the work the blonde did was admirable and couldn't help but fall for how sweet she was to spend her free time with those kids.
"I think it's sweet that you volunteer to spend time with kids. Not a lot of people are age really want to be around children. Is that what got you interested in Pediatrics?" Callie was thoroughly interested to learn more about her date.
Thinking about her response, "You know I don't really know. I guess it helped to push me into that field. When I look at the kids who are sick and broken I can't help but want to put them back together so they could have a hopeful future."
They continued asking each other more information about the other and by the end of the date Arizona learned that Callie had left Miami when she was eighteen because her family turned their backs on her when she told them she not only liked men but was attracted to women as well, hence the job at the coffee shop to pay the bills. She also learned that the brunette had an interest for bones after a broken arm she received when falling from the monkey bars when she was eight. Or how the Latina had been best friends with Addison when they meet in middle school and they had been inseparable since then.
Arizona shared some stories of her childhood of being an Army brat and some of the many places she got to see where her father had been stationed. She explained that because they moved so many times her older brother, Tim, became her best friend and is now serving in the Marines and is currently on his second tour to Iraq. Or home for her now was in Baltimore where her parents had retired and chose to settle down.
As Arizona held Callie's hand to the door of her room she felt hesitant to say goodbye and end a date she had been enjoying. But the brunette had planned for them to meet up again the next day so she just had to be patient and wait until the afternoon to see the other woman.
Leaning against the wall Callie pushed a blonde curl behind Arizona's hair, "Thank you again for tonight I had a lot of fun," Callie began to lean forward into Arizona as the blonde moved in the rest of the way to place the lightest of kisses on the Latina. And it wasn't enough for either woman as they felt the spark linger on their lips before going back for more. Callie pulled the smaller woman into her feeling their breasts press before deepening the kiss causing the blonde to moan at the feeling. As Arizona began to run her tongue along the bottom of the other woman's plump lip the door they had been leaning on was pulled open.
"Cal it's late and your moaning woke me up. Can you have a little respect and take this somewhere else," both women were trying to steady their breathing as they stared at Callie's roommate who so rudely interrupted them.
Callie was having none of it tonight, "Actually no I will not be quiet when you like to bring your boyfriend over to have sex in the room, while I'm still there," shouted the raven haired woman.
The blonde knew this was a good time to leave before the screaming match began. With one last kiss Arizona made her way back to her car with a smile on her face.
#######
For the next few months they tried to squeeze in as many dates as they could, but after the third date when they both were hoping to take the next step in their relationship. Of course things came up and it had to be pushed back. Now three months in and Callie was making sure that tonight was the night. She shaved her leg that deserved to be appreciated. Placing the fitted black dress on before making her way to Arizona's apartment where they decided to eat in.
When Arizona pulled the door opened Callie was speechless at the blonde's appearance. She had on a blue dress that made the color in her eyes shine a brighter blue. She couldn't tear her eyes away from those long creamy legs. The warmth between her legs was brought on and she tried squeezing her legs together in attempts to quench the heat.
With her mouth wide open Arizona finally broke the silence, "Calliope you're beautiful," the blonde couldn't believe how lucky she had gotten with Callie. The time they spent together was always exciting and she never grew board of the woman. But before this night ended she wanted to talk with the raven haired woman about some things or one thing in particular that had been on her mind.
"So do you Arizona," leaning in Callie placed a chaste kiss on pink lips, before moving into the apartment.
As they made their way to the table Arizona brought the food she had bought for tonight. She tried cooking fettuccini but ended up burning the sauce and had to make a quick stop and grab take out. But once she put the food in her own glass bowls it looked as if she did all the work herself.
Fidgeting with her napkin the blonde tried to muster up the courage before blurting out, "Calliope would you be my girlfriend," now turning all different shades of red Arizona was beginning to chastise herself.
All the brunette could do was stare back because if she wasn't mistaken Arizona just asked if Callie would be her girlfriend. And the way she was beginning to blush Callie was certain that she had heard the blonde correctly.
She couldn't believe it Callie was going to say no and it wasn't helping that the Latina was still quiet, "I called it wrong and you don't have to accept the offer," spoke Arizona, " I understand that you might just see me as a friend and I respect your decision. Now I understand why we haven't had sex because it's just been me who like like's you more as a friend-" The way the blonde was rambling was sweet, but Callie had to stop her.
"Arizona shut up," stunned into silence the blonde looked wide eyed back at the woman she was beginning to fall for. "Ask me again," requested Callie.
The brunettes wide smile kick started the smaller woman's heart as she looked deep into those soulful brown eyes, "Calliope Torres would you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?"
And that smile only grew wider, "Yes, Arizona I'd love to be your girlfriend."
Pushing herself off the chair Arizona made her way to the raven haired woman's chair to kiss her girlfriend. She was never going to get tired of the idea of calling Callie her girlfriend. Straddling the taller woman's legs the blonde began placing small kisses on plump lips before Callie held her face to deepen the kiss. As she ran her hands down to the base of the smaller woman that warmth from earlier was coming in tenfold and she didn't want to stop it.
Lucky for her neither did Arizona, who slid off the Latina's lap and held out her hand, "Come on," spoke the blonde.
Callie stood up on uneasy legs as she took the blonde's hand, "What are we doing," she was confused at what the woman was doing especially when she started dragging her down the hall to a closed door.
"I plan on making love to my girlfriend all night long," Arizona replied with a pull of her hand to get the brunette to move faster.
