Chapter Forty-Four.
Arizona POV.
"So, I see your screwing the help again." April snidely comments.
"I'm sorry, WHAT did you just say?" I answer back angrily.
"Your screwing the help again. I remember her from back in Nebraska. Medical help right?"
"Fuck you!" I snarl.
"OOH.. Feisty today aren't we. Or are you not getting enough from her?"
"Arizona!" I turn and see Calliope coming towards us.
"Hey, what's up?" I ask as she nears.
"You forgot your goggles Babe." She says passing them to me and pecking me on the lips. Pulling away she lets out an 'I love you, good luck.' before turning away, but not quite out of ear shot.
"Oh priceless.. One of the whores fell in love with you again, too good." Callie turns and is in April's face quicker than I thought possible.
"WHAT did you just call me?" She breathes heavily, obviously trying to reign in her anger. As April makes another comment about my fiancé, I throw my bike down and catch Calliope before she does something that she'll later regret.
"Baby.. Baby!" I shout wrapping my arms around her mid-section. "Callie, please.. She's not worth the time or the space." I say coaxing her away. Turning her around in my arms, I hold on to her tight still feeling the adrenaline coursing through her body.
"Relax Calliope." I say making eye contact. She soon calms down.
"Sorry." She mumbles, her forehead resting on mine, as I pull her tighter.
"It's okay, just relax.."
"That's it Arizona. Reel the bitches leash in!" April yells from her position. In that second, I turn and have her pinned to the side of a trailer by her neck, inches off the ground. Moments later there is a crowd forming around us.
My eyes bore into hers, pure rage overwhelming my body, soaking every pore, every fibre of my being.
"You ever talk about her again like that and I will make your life a misery, you'll wish you were in hell when I'm through with you.. You understand me?" I bark loosening my grip slightly. I see the fear hidden in her eyes.
I blink trying to control my emotions.
Before long there are hands pulling me away and then those soft hands are caressing my cheeks.
"Arizona, Sweetie. Look at me." I close my eyes, trying to centre myself. I re-open them. They lock with the chocolate brown orbs or a certain latina and everything but that latina drifts from my mind.
My blue eyes stayed locked on those of brown as people surround us. I hear the voices trying to catch my attention, but they are lost on me as I stare into the soul of my lover, my life, my eternity.
I'm literally yanked from my thoughts as hands grab my shoulders and spin me around. I'm met with the worried gaze of my manager, Derek, my parents, as well as Calliope's. I whisper a small apology to the man standing before me, then turn and walk back to the bus. I hear an 'I've got this' and footsteps falling into place beside me. I don't need to look up to know that it's Calliope.
Reaching the bus, I grab the door handle and pause, taking a deep breath before exhaling and entering the privacy of the vehicle.
As I stand with my hands bracing a small sink, I feel the presents of a warm body behind. Moving to lean back, arms wrap around me, offering up comfort and safety. I let out a shaky breath.
"I'm sorry. I don't know what happened out there. I just snapped.. Please don't be mad." I say getting quieter and quieter as I finish my sentence.
"I'm not mad. I get what you did. I would of done the same if someone said that about you as well, it was just a natural reaction. I don't blame you Babe."
"Thank you.. I hate that, that happened, Derek's going to kill me for loosing it.." After a moments silence I continue. "I hate that you can read me so well. But I love it too, because you always know what to say to make me feel better."
"Any time. I'll always be here for you, no matter what. I love you." She finishes placing a kiss to my cheek.
"I love you too, Calliope."
Exiting the bus a couple minutes later, I come face to face with Derek.
"What the hell were you thinking!" He yells.
"Derek.." Calliope warns taking my hand in hers and leading us away. While in the bus, we both decided it would be best to be the bigger person and apologise to April so we make our way over to her.
"April.." I start. "Look I'm sorry, I shouldn't of reacted the way I did." I stop not really knowing what else to say. I feel Callie squeeze my hand before she speaks up too.
"I'm sorry as well, I shouldn't of gone off on one either." Without so much as a word April turns and leaves. I stare as she walks away, I didn't expect much but I expected something from her.
"Well that didn't go quite as well as we'd planned..." I groan into my lovers shoulder.
"At least she can't say we didn't say sorry."
"She'll probably try.." I moan.
"Hi. Uhm? You don't remember me do you?" The man says when I give him a blank expression.
"I caught the fight in Nebraska on tape, gave it to your manager?"
"Oh, yh. I remember you. Thanks for that by the way."
"No problem. Just thought I'd let you know I have a thing for getting you on camera it seems, I got the little dispute earlier on camera again as well as your apologies. Would you like me to give them to your manager again?"
"Uh yh.. I'll get him to arrange that interview thing for you for last time, but I'm guessing you want something else for this?" I question knowing how the press work.
"Well, now you mention it. How about a interview with the happy couple, it seems? I'm guessing that's an engagement ring attached to your finger?"
"Sure thing, just get onto Derek and he'll sort it all out." Calliope interrupts before I can.
"Well thanks, I'll see you soon then." The man says before sauntering off.
"Umm.. Why did you do that?" I question.
"Because, he has proof we tried to make stuff right and that it's April who starts all these things. I figure if we have the proof, she can't harm you or us. Plus I'd do any thing for you, including a little interview if it kept you safe.. of sorts." Callie laughs.
"Fair enough." I say. "But... Do NOT ever get us into any more interviews, I hate them!" I state.
"Deal." She finalizes with a smile and a seal of a kiss. "Now come on. You have a race to win."
And I'm soon dragged back to the pits and gearing up with Teddy.
