Stuck On You

Chapter 6

"Arizona, baby. I came as soon as I heard. Are you alright?" Joanne cooed. She tried to caress the blonde's face but Arizona stepped out of reach.

"Joanne, why are you here?"

"Why wouldn't I be here?" the dark-haired woman replied. "I saw your story on the news and I was so worried about you. Baby, you mean so much to me. I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you."

Callie cleared her throat, making her presence was known.

Joanne quizzically looked over Arizona's shoulder and spotted the beautiful Latina on the couch. Callie gave a smile and a small wave. "Hi," Callie announced with a nod of her head.

Confusion and anger crossed over Joanne's features and she looked to Arizona. "Who the hell is that?" she questioned.

"None of your damn business," Arizona snapped.

Joanne quickly brushed by Arizona and now stood in the den area. "Who the hell are you?" She demanded, staring daggers at the Latina.

Callie raised her eyebrows in bemusement. She suddenly felt like she in an extremely bad reality TV show. "Okay, wow," she snorted and shaking her head. "I'm the one who's leaving right now," she replied, standing from the couch. Callie was not one for drama.

Arizona took a step forward. "Callie, no. You don't have to leave."

"Yeah, I think she should," Joanne snapped, her eyes never leaving the Latina.

"Joanne…" Arizona warned.

"No, its cool, Arizona," the brunette shrugged, stepping away from the couch. She cooly walked by Joanne, who was eyeing her carefully. Callie stared down the other woman, not the least bit intimidated. She then reached Arizona by the open door and her eyes softened. "Thanks for the drink." She lightly ran her hand down the blonde's forearm in a comforting manner. "I'll see you soon."

The blonde felt goose bumps raise on her arm at the Latina's touch. "Thank you for stopping by," she replied, all sincerity in her voice.

Callie smiled softly and then winked before exiting out the doorway. Arizona blew out a breath and immediately felt the loss when the Latina was gone. She closed the door, turning around to face the last person in the world she wanted to look at.

"Boy, you work fast," Joanne scoffed, folding her arms in front of her. "Where did the hot-blooded Latina come from? She your girlfriend now?"

Arizona scoffed. "How the fuck is that any of your business?"

"Arizona, I came here to make sure you were okay. Then I come to find you with some mysterious woman."

"And?"

"You're dating her!" Joanne accused, practically shouting.

The blonde shook her head. She wanted nothing more than to throw her ex-girlfriend out on her ass at that moment. "Joanne, you don't know what the hell you're talking about."

"No?" the woman walked over to the couch and picked up a wine glass from the coffee table. "Drinking wine, cuddling on the couch, the intimate lighting… don't lie to me and say you weren't on a date."

"So what if I was?" the blonde asked, stepping forward. "What gives you the right to storm in here and fucking force me to explain myself to you? It's none of your business Joanne!"

"Are you dating her?"

"Oh, my God…" the blonde growled, placing her palms on top of her head in frustration. "Get out, Joanne!"

"Not until I know who she is."

"Joanne, I'm serious…"

"So am I. As soon as I know… I'll leave," the woman replied, standing her ground.

Arizona sighed heavily. "Fine, if that's what's going to get you out of my face sooner. Her name is Callie. She's my new partner on the force. All she was doing was checking up on me."

Joanne chuckled lightly with disbelief. "That's not all she was doing, trust me."

"Trust you?" Arizona scoffed. "That's a hell of a thing for you to say."

Joanne placed the wine glass back on the table and stepped around the couch. "Arizona, she wants you. I saw the way she was looking at you."

"Did you really come her to check on me or barge into my personal life?"

Joanne sighed heavily and lowered her eyes. She shook her head and then met the blonde's impatient gaze. "I am here to check on you…" she sweetly spoke. "I'm sorry, Ari… I didn't mean to act this crazy."

Arizona shook her head as she heard Joanne's phony empathy and use of her old nickname. She was not going to fall for Joanne's old tricks. Her fake games of sympathy when all she cared about was herself.

"But you did… so get out," Arizona firmly stated.

Joanne frowned in confusion. "Ari? What are you saying?"

"I'm saying if you don't leave now, I'll arrest your ass for trespassing."

"You wouldn't."

"Try me."

They stared at each other for a moment and Joanne thought better than to call Arizona's bluff. If it was a bluff. She left.


The image of Arizona kissing another woman literally felt like a knife going through Callie's heart. It surprised her how much it hurt and she wanted to erase that picture from her mind. So, here she was, in some random woman's house, on the couch making out.

Callie had the other woman laid out beneath her as their tongues dueled aggressively. The woman pushed her hips upward into Callie's and moaned as she found contact against her clit. The Latina knew this one was ready for her… was willing for her to fuck her. But every time Callie closed her eyes, she saw Arizona. Those blue eyes, the blonde hair, that smile. Her mind kept playing games with her. No matter how hard she tried to ignore it, Callie could not get Arizona out of her head.

The brunette continued to fight it. She moved one of her hands down the woman's body and cupped the 36C breast in her hand. The woman groaned and pushed her tongue deeper into Callie's mouth. This did nothing for the Latina. These were not Arizona's hands caressing her back, this was not Arizona's unique scent filling her senses… that was not Arizona's body pressed up against her.

Callie suddenly broke the kiss and looked down at the woman breathing heavily beneath her. Green eyes stared back at her… not the startling blue like Arizona's. The woman attempted to pull the Latina back down, but Callie held back.

"What is it?" the woman breathed, seeing that the Latina was having second thoughts.

Callie closed her eyes and sighed heavily. "Fuck…" she whispered, before detangling herself from the stranger. She sat back on the couch and covered her face with her hands.

Suddenly feeling very exposed and confused, the woman sat up as well and closed her blouse. "Are you okay?"

Callie shook her head and removed her hands from her face. "I'm sorry. I can't do this…"

"But I thought you wanted…"

"I did… I do…" the Latina turned to the stranger with a sympathetic gaze. "But not with you…"

"Oh…" the woman replied, dejectedly. She lowered her eyes.

"Trust me, it's not you," Callie tried to reassure. "You're beautiful… and... if this were any other time I would totally be fucking your brains out… I just have things on my mind."

"Another woman?" the stranger guessed.

Callie sighed then nodded.

"You love her," she stated.

The brunette was quiet for a moment. "I… I don't know…"

"I think you do. Otherwise you would have no problem, 'fucking my brains out' as you so eloquently put it."

"Sorry…" the brunette sheepishly replied.

"It's okay. Whoever this woman is… she is really lucky."

"Yeah…" The brunette sighed, not necessarily believing the woman's words. She stood from the couch and grabbed her leather jacket from the floor. "I better go… thanks for understanding, uh…" She turned to the woman on the couch and gave a questioning look.

The woman smiled lightly. "Melanie…" she finished.

"Melanie…" the brunette repeated.

"Goodbye, Callie."


The following morning, Arizona was awoken by the incessant ringing of her cell phone. Still lying in bed, the blonde blinked her eyes open. It was light outside. She groaned and checked the time on her nightstand clock. It was well after 10am. Guess she really did need rest.

Arizona grabbed her ringing phone and looked at the caller id before hitting talk. "Hey, Mom."

"Hi, my little Angel. How's my baby doing?"

"Mom…" the 32-year old woman groaned. No matter how old she got, her mother still baby-talked her.

"Oh, shush, Zona. You're still my baby. How are you feeling?"

Arizona let out a heavy breath and plopped her head back on her pillow. "Well rested. You just woke me up, actually."

"Really? You must have been exhausted sweetie. You've always been a morning person. Is your head alright?"

Arizona reached up and lightly ran her fingers across the small stitches on her head. "Yeah, it's fine…"

"Good. When do you go back to work?"

"Tomorrow…"

"Don't you think that's a bit soon?"

"No, I want to go back. I'm tired of sitting around. Plus, the doctor said I could."

"Well, if the doctor agrees, so do I. Have you heard from your partner yet? Um, oh what is her name? Shoot…" the older woman cursed.

"Callie…"

"Yes, Callie. Have you found her yet?"

The blonde smiled to herself, thinking of the Latina showing up to her place last night. "She was never lost mom… but yes, I saw Callie yesterday. She came to my apartment to check on me."

"Well, that's great. I was wondering where she disappeared to."

"You were wondering?"

"Why yes. I kept hearing, Callie this and Callie that, from all your friends at the station. She saved my daughter's life and I wanted to meet her."

"Mom-"

"Which brings me to my next point. Your father and I want to invite Callie over for dinner Saturday night."

The blonde's eyes widened and she sprang up straight in her bed. "What?" she panicked.

"You know, as a thank you."

"Oh, Mom. Callie doesn't need anything like that. She's-"

"Now I won't hear any of that, Zona," the older woman cut her off in a motherly tone. "She dove into freezing cold water to save your life. Don't you think she deserves a little more than a pat on the back?"

"Yes, but…"

"Good. We're so excited to meet your hero, honey," the older woman practically squealed. "So, make sure Callie is at our house, 6pm sharp. You know how your father is about being on time."

Arizona sighed. "Yes, mom."

"Okay. Love you, baby. See you Saturday and good luck on your first day back."

"Okay thanks, love you too. Bye."

Arizona hit 'end' on her phone and tossed it on the bedspread next to her. She ran her hands through her messy blonde hair. "Urghh!"

She could not believe her parents were springing this on her. And Callie? The guest of honor at her parents' home? That's something she never thought possible. This was getting personal. The funny thing about was… Arizona did not mind it that much.


When Arizona walked into the main headquarters of the police department the next morning, she was greeted by a rowdy round of applause. The blonde looked around the room like a deer caught in headlights as her colleagues stood and proudly clapped for her. Arizona noticed a banner hanging up on the wall saying, 'Welcome Back.' Stunned and pleasantly surprised, Arizona smiled brightly and nodded her head politely as a thank you.

"Arizona," a voice happily chirped behind her. The blonde turned around and saw Teddy approaching her. Arizona's smile grew wider and the honey-blonde gave her a tight hug.

"Welcome back," Teddy greeted.

"Thanks, Teddy," Arizona replied, as they broke the hug.

Just then, the blonde spotted Callie walking over. Callie was a bit hesitant and kept her distance, even though she was dying to hug the other woman. "Hey…" she shyly spoke.

"Hi," Arizona smiled, her eyes sparkling.

"Attention everyone! Attention!" Captain Webber bellowed as he made his way over to Arizona and Callie. He stepped between the two and wrapped his arms around their shoulders. "In honor of these two officers' bravery… we would like to award you with these personalized plaques. Bring them out guys."

Both women were surprised as two officers came over and handed them nicely made plaques. The blonde looked at her award and read the engraving. 'To Arizona Robbins- For her bravery and superb work in the Seattle Police Department.'

"Wow," the blonde said. She looked around at her fellow officers. "Thank you guys. Thank you very much. This is so nice," Arizona smiled.

"Yeah, guys thank you. This was really unexpected," the Latina grinned.

"You both deserved it. Let's give them another hand!" Webber called.

The officers cheered and clapped once more, causing both Arizona and Callie to blush slightly.

"Alright, alright. I think they've had enough. Everyone back to work," Webber announced.

As the group disbanded, a few officers came over to them with pats on the back and 'good to have you backs' to Arizona. When all the craziness was over, the two women were walking to their patrol car. It was just another day on the beat.

"That was interesting…" Arizona commented.

Callie chuckled lightly. "Yeah."

Arizona glanced at the brunette curiously. "Did you know about this?"

Callie shrugged with a small smirk. "Maybe..." She looked at the blonde and Arizona raised her eyebrows. "But I had no idea about the plaques."

"But you did know. As my partner, you're supposed to tell me these things," Arizona stated in a fake tone of seriousness.

"Well, if I had told you, it would have ruined the surprise nitwit."

"Hey! No name calling."

Callie chuckled as they approached their vehicle. "I'm driving."

"Fine…" the blonde agreed.

This was a good a time as any.

"My parents want to invite you for dinner at their house tomorrow night," Arizona stated.

Callie had just opened the driver's side door and raised her eyebrows, looking at her partner. "Come again?"

Arizona opened the passenger door and looked at Callie across the top of the car. "My parents want to meet you," Arizona smiled teasingly. "They want to give the woman that saved my life a home-cooked meal."

"Oh…" the brunette said in surprise. "Uh… that's nice of them but really not necessary."

"That's what I said... but you don't know how persistent my parents can be. So, I'm not asking. This is sort of a mandatory thing. When my parents invite someone to dinner, it's a big deal. You can't really say no."

Callie smirked. "Well, when you put it that way… what time?"

"Six. Just dress casual but, nice casual."

The brunette furrowed her brow. "What the hell does that mean?" The Latina asked with a bemused smile.

Arizona grinned and climbed into the car, followed by the Latina.


Callie had changed her clothes a dozen times before heading over to the Robbins' residence. The brunette was nervous. Why? She did not have the slightest clue, but in a way she wanted to impress Arizona's parents.

As she climbed out of the car and approached the nice two-story home, she tried to calm herself down. "They already like you. You saved their daughter, remember?" She whispered to herself. "They want to meet you…"

She had seen Arizona's car parked out front and new the blonde was already inside. Rubbing her clamming hands together she rang the doorbell. Almost immediately, a woman in her sixties opened the door. She was pretty much Arizona's twin except for the wrinkles and slightly graying locks of hair.

"Callie?" the woman smiled.

"That'd be me…"

"Oh!" the woman squealed. Before Callie could react she was pulled into a tight hug.

"Oh, okay…" the brunette replied, accepting the unexpected embrace.

The older woman stepped out of the hug and smiled at Callie, her blue eyes sparkling. "It is so nice to finally meet you."

"You too, Mrs. Robbins."

"Oh, please dear. Call me Barbara."

"Barbara…" the brunette repeated with a small smile.

"Come on in. Daniel and I are so pleased that you were able to make it," the bubbly woman gushed. "Here, I'll take your coat."

"Oh, thank you," the Latina said, as the energetic woman helped her out of her leather jacket.

"That's a lovely top you're wearing, Callie," Barbara commented.

"Thank you."

"Follow me, this way. Come meet my husband."

They took and immediate left, stepping through an open archway that led to a cozy den. Further back, divided by another archway, was the large dining room. Sitting in the den was a man with an intimidating face. He stood when Callie came into view and the brunette thought he was even more intimidating when standing. He was a tall guy.

"Daniel, this is Callie," Arizona's mother gushed.

The man immediately smiled and the brunette's nervousness faded as he took her hand in a strong handshake.

"It's good to finally meet you, Callie. I'm Daniel."

Callie smiled as well. "It's nice to meet you too."

"Dinner will be ready in about five minutes," Barbara said. "Arizona is just back in the kitchen watching the rolls in the oven."

They walked further back into the dining area. Just then, the swinging door that led to the kitchen opened.

Callie was struck silent as she saw Arizona come through the doorway. The blonde's hair was down in a beautiful mass of curls, she had on purplish-blue eye-shadow, a modest amount of face make-up, light lipstick, a blue top that complimented her eyes perfectly, and dark skinny jeans. The brunette was enamored.

Arizona was in 'ah' of the Latina as well. She took in Callie's heavy eyeliner that made her brown eyes seem even more dangerous, the red lipstick, the perfect waves in that thick black hair, the red blouse, and black slacks.

"Well, don't just stand there with your mouth open sweetie. Say hello to the woman," Barbara told her daughter.

Arizona rolled her eyes and immediately felt her cheeks grow red with embarrassment. She moved towards the table and placed the baked rolls next to the other food items.

As Daniel and Barbara settled down at the table, the blonde walked over to Callie and smiled lightly. "Hey…"

"Hey…" the brunette replied with a smile.

"I'm glad you could make it."

Callie smirked. "You didn't make it sound like I had much choice."

Arizona nodded with a smile. "True…"

Callie raised her eyebrows appreciatively and looked at the blonde's outfit. "You look really nice," Callie complimented.

Arizona blushed lightly. "Thanks. You look nice too."

"You two are so cute together," Barbara grinned.

Callie and Arizona looked at the older woman with their mouths agape. They were shocked by what Barbara had just said.

"Don't they look cute together, Daniel?" the woman smiled towards her husband.

"Barb, leave the girls alone," he gently responded.

A bit flustered and no longer able to make eye contact with each other, the two women sat down at the small table. Callie sat across from Arizona. After saying grace, the four of them began to dig in.

"So, Callie… where are you from originally?" Barbara asked.

"Miami."

"Really?" the older woman asked with intrigue.

The brunette nodded. "Yep. My parents and little sister still live out there."

"Miami is a far cry from Seattle. Why the big move?" Daniel asked.

"Oh, uh…" Callie hesitated in her answer. She wanted to avoid any conversation that would lead to her ex Erica.

"I just wanted a change of scenery. Plus, I had heard great things about Seattle P.D. So when I saw an opening I applied."

The blonde studied Callie curiously. She knew there was more to that than the Latina was letting on. Arizona's parents however, seemed satisfied with her answer.

"So, you and Zona met at the police academy?" Barbara went on.

The brunette nodded. "Yes…" Callie's eyes flickered to Arizona's. "We knew each other then." The blonde smirked at her before lowering her eyes to her plate.

"And now you both are partners. It's a small world," Daniel commented.

"Arizona… what Callie was like when you guys were in training?" Barbara asked.

The blonde was surprised by the question. "Oh, um… well... she was…" Arizona hesitated.

"Yeah, Arizona… tell them," the brunette teased.

The blonde playfully glared at the Latina then looked at her parents. "Uh…" She opened her mouth a few times attempting to speak, but nothing came out. She was being put on the spot. Should she lie or tell the truth?

"She hated me with a passion," Callie simply stated, smirking at Arizona.

The blonde's mouth fell open as she looked at Callie who only shrugged. Truth it is.

"Well, I find that hard to believe…" Barbara commented.

"No…" Arizona sighed. "It was true, Mom. Callie annoyed me to no end during training."

"You two seem to get along fine now. Plus, Zona… Callie is such a gorgeous woman. I'm surprised you did not try to sweep her up back then."

Arizona cringed with embarrassment. "This is not happening," the whined, covering her face, much to Callie's amusement.

"Honey, you'll smudge your makeup," Barbara chastised.

"Barb, I think you've embarrassed Zona enough," Daniel chimed in.

"I'm just saying… if I had been you girls' age and into girls… I wouldn't have wasted time."

This made Callie snicker.

"Oh, my God… really, Mom?" the blonde groaned.

Arizona glanced at her father. Daniel had a small smile on his face and was shaking his head. "It's not funny Dad," Arizona grumbled.

"It's a little bit funny," Callie noted, stifling a laugh.

The blonde raised her eyebrows at the Latina. "Oh, really?"

Callie nodded.

Arizona bit her bottom lip, holding back a smile, as she thought of something. "Well, at least I didn't take a nose dive into a puddle of mud during an obstacle course."

The brunette's smile suddenly faded.

"What was that?" Barbara asked.

"Yep..." Arizona said, smugly grinning at the Latina. "Callie was running on one of our obstacle courses. She lost her footing and then SPLAT!" the blonde clapped her hands together for effect. "Face first in the mud."

"Oh, dear…" Barbara laughed.

"Of course you'd remember that," Callie grumbled. "It wasn't one of my finer moments," Callie sheepishly said.

The rest of the dinner carried on that way with Callie and Arizona taking little jabs at each other, but it was all in fun. After their meal, Daniel asked the brunette to step out on the back porch with him as Arizona and Barbara did the dishes. They stood out there in the cool night, the moonlight provided sufficient light. Daniel said nothing so Callie decided to speak first.

"What line of work were you in, sir?" Callie politely asked.

"Oh, I was a fireman back in the day."

"No kidding?"

Daniel shrugged. "I worked in the firehouse for thirty years."

Callie raised her eyebrows, clearly impressed. "Wow."

"Yeah… I've been retired about five years now."

The brunette nodded.

"You know…" Daniel began. Arizona had already told me about what happened between you and her at the academy."

"Really?" the brunette nervously squeaked. "Which parts?" Callie began to sweat. Did he know she had basically kiss attacked Arizona in the locker room?

"Just that you would give her a hard time… pick on her…"

Callie nodded.

"I guess she never told her mother because, well... Barb tends to blow things out of proportion."

The brunette chuckled lightly. "I was a stupid kid then. I was just annoying her because I could."

"But what compelled you to do it?" Daniel thoughtfully asked. He wasn't angry.

"Uh… I… I don't know…" the brunette nervously sputtered.

"Yes, you do. You liked her. And you still like her."

The brunette chuckled nervously. "Uh…"

"I saw the way you looked at her tonight."

"I uh…" the Latina's eyes shifted to anywhere but the older man's gaze. "I didn't mean to look at her in any way…"

"I know… because it's the same look I give my wife… you love her, don't you?" Daniel asked, looking the Latina straight in the eyes.

The brunette felt her resolve breaking. "Shit…" Callie whispered, lowering her eyes.

"It's okay, Callie. You're in love it's no big deal."

The brunette fidgeted with her hands. "It kind of is, sir. The last relationship I was in… it ended terribly. And I told myself I'd never fall for anyone again."

"That didn't work out to well, did it?" Daniel asked.

Callie slowly shook her head, feeling her emotions coming to the surface.

"You're a good woman, Callie. You've already proven that by risking your own life to save my daughter's. You should tell Arizona how you feel."

Just then, they heard the backdoor open. Callie and Daniel turned around to see Arizona standing in the doorway.

The blonde raised a curious eyebrow. "Are you guys in cahoots or can anyone join in?" Arizona smiled.

"Come on out, kiddo. Callie and I were just having a friendly chat."

"Yeah? What about?"

The brunette's mouth suddenly went dry and she racked her brain trying to come up with something.

"Just about my fireman days," Daniel lied, helping Callie out. "But I went on and on enough. I'm heading inside."

Daniel gave Callie a polite nod before going back in the house and closing the door. Callie felt nervous as the blonde came closer and stood next to her. They overlooked the small garden that was in the backyard.

"Thanks for coming over tonight," Arizona spoke. "I'll have to apologize about my mom, though."

The brunette chuckled.

"The woman has no filter," Arizona continued. "Everything she's thinking just spills out."

"No, it's cool. Your mom is... refreshing."

Arizona snorted. "You can have her."

The brunette chuckled again. After a moment the brunette spoke again. "So…" Callie smiled. "What do you think?"

"About what?"

"Do you think we look cute together?" Callie smiled.

Arizona let out an amused scoff. "Oh, my God, shut-up," she chuckled.

Callie laughed. "Hey, your mom might be on to something."

The blonde smiled lightly and turned to the Latina. "First of all… I'd have to like you if I was ever going to date you."

"Mmm…" the brunette pondered, squinting her eyes. "I think you might like me just a little bit."

Arizona raised her eyebrows. "Oh, really?"

"Yep."

"And why would that be?"

"I saved your life remember? You have to like me a little bit now."

"Oh… right…" The blonde drawled. "Well… you know what that means, right?"

"What?" the brunette challenged with a smirk.

"You might like me a little bit too."

Callie raised an eyebrow, but on the inside her heart was thundering against her chest. "And how do you know that?"

"You saved my life. So, you have to like me a little bit."

The brunette chuckled and shyly ducked her eyes. Callie looked up once more and had not realized how close Arizona was until now. Their smiles slowly faded and were replaced by looks of longing... of want. They both felt that powerful pull towards each other. The same attraction they had shared at the gym a month ago.

Arizona's blue eyes were boring into Callie's soul as she stared back at the blonde. They both began to move closer at their own accord. Arizona felt the Latina's body heat and her heart pounded in her chest. Callie's eyes flickered to her lips and the blonde involuntarily gasped as the brunette moved her face towards hers.

"Girls!"

Callie and Arizona quickly jumped back from one another, putting space between each other. They both sheepishly turned towards Barbara. Their faces looking guilty as hell, especially with the evident blush gracing Arizona's features.

The older woman looked between the two and knew what was going on. Taking pity on them, she decided not to press the situation any further.

"Callie, I just wanted to tell you we have dessert in here if you'd like. It's peach cobbler."

"Oh, that sounds really great. But I actually have to get going, Mrs. Robbins."

The older woman gave her a look.

"I mean, Barbara," the brunette corrected. "But thank you very much for dinner."

Barbara sighed, trying to hide her disappointment, but understood. "Ok, dear, if you really have to leave I can't keep you."

Callie glanced at Arizona and caught sight of the blonde's eyes before stepping towards the house. After saying her goodbyes to Arizona's parents, the two of them were walking out to Callie's car. Neither one of them spoke. Both thinking of what had happened between them on the back porch. Well… almost happened.

Arizona was bundled up in her coat and crossed her arms in front of her to shield her from the cool night air. Callie stuffed her hands in the jacket pockets. They were too shy to look at one another.

"My parents like you…" Arizona finally spoke.

The brunette nodded with a small smile. "I like them too."

They walked a bit further and reached Callie's vehicle.

"So, uh… I'll see you Monday…" Callie said, finally glancing at the blonde.

Arizona placed a soft smile on her face and nodded. "Yeah…"

They looked at each other for a moment. Arizona could tell by the look in Callie's eyes that the Latina wanted to say something, but was being hesitant. The blonde was about to ask exactly what that was, but Callie beat her to it.

"Okay…" the Latina sputtered. She walked around her vehicle and opened the driver's side door. Disappointment filled her. She wanted so badly to tell the blonde how she felt, but was too much of a coward.

As Arizona watch Callie about to get into the car, all her mind kept screaming was, 'Don't let her go!'

"Callie," the blonde said suddenly.

The Latina looked up and met Arizona's gaze. The blonde had no idea what compelled her to ask what she was about to ask, but she could not stop herself if she tried. "Um, would you… like to come back to my place?" the blonde shyly offered.

The brunette swallowed the nervous lump in her throat and her body literally began to tremble a little bit. "You, uh… you mean right now?"

Arizona kept her eyes locked with Callie's and slowly nodded her head. "Yeah… I mean right now."

Callie felt as though all the air had been sucked from her body. She couldn't breathe. That look in Arizona's eyes was definitely new and mesmerizing. "Sure…" the brunette squeaked.
