Stuck With You – Chapter 15
Callie and Arizona froze, both of them hoping that their moaning and groaning was not heard on the other side of the door.
"Callie? Are you in there?" a voice asked.
"Fuck," Callie hissed as she and Arizona disentangled themselves from each other. The blonde stepped back, pulling her bunched up dress back down and exhaling a breath. Callie turned towards the door and placed her hand on the handle. Before turning the doorknob she gave Arizona a look and the blonde gave a slight nod. Callie then opened the door just a crack and saw Addison standing there.
"Um, hey, what's up?"
"There you are," the redhead said. "Is everything alright?"
"Uh, yeah. Yeah… why wouldn't everything be alright?" Callie nervously smiled.
Addison shrugged nonchalantly. "Just asking... I was looking for you because it's time to cut the cake."
The Latina furrowed her brows. "I have a cake?" she questioned.
Addison chuckled. "Why wouldn't you, silly? It's your birthday. So, are you coming out here or not?"
Callie smiled. "Yes… in just on second. I was just… freshening up."
The redhead raised a curious eyebrow. "Okay…" she smirked. She began to walk away but stopped suddenly. "Oh!" Addison interjected, turning back around.
Callie stopped herself from the closing the door. "What's up?"
"Have you seen, Arizona? Her friend, Teddy was looking for her."
"Uh…" Callie drawled, pretending to contemplate an answer. "I uh, no. I haven't… oh, but she did mention she had to run down to her car to get something."
"Oh… okay. I'll tell Teddy. But you…" the redhead purred, pointing a finger. "Hurry up that cute ass of yours. You have a birthday cake to cut and very hungry officers with sugar cravings waiting on you."
"Yes, ma'am," Callie nodded before closing the door. She exhaled a heavy breath and turned back to Arizona.
The blonde had her arms crossed with a small smirk on her face. "Very smooth."
Callie shrugged. "I had to say something."
While listening to Callie's exchange with Addison, the blonde heard how the redhead's tone seemed to hold obvious flirtation. It made her a little uneasy but she chose to ignore it for now. She masked her feelings with a chuckle and shook her head, not wanting Callie to catch on.
The Latina stepped forward with a grin and wrapped her arms around the blonde's waist. She leaned in but Arizona leaned away. "Calliope, we can't."
The brunette pouted. "Why the hell not?"
"Because if we start up again, I won't be able to stop myself," Arizona replied.
Callie smiled. "I really see nothing wrong with that."
"Callie..."
The brunette sighed with defeat and Arizona leaned her forehead against hers. "Go on… people are waiting for you."
"Okay…" she relented. "But can I have one more kiss?"
Arizona slowly stepped forward and invaded Callie's personal space. So, much so, that she pressed the Latina's back against the door. The front of their bodies pressed firmly together. Arizona leaned in, her lips barely grazing Callie's before shifting over to the brunette's ear. "As soon as your last guest leaves… call me. Then you'll get your birthday present…"
Arizona's voice was so husky and seductive, Callie shivered with anticipation. She gasped suddenly when Arizona gently took her earlobe between her lips and sucked. This last a few seconds before the blonde took a step back and took in Callie's flustered state.
"You're evil," the brunette pouted before she left a giggling Arizona in the bathroom.
Callie rounded the corner into the living room and was greeted by a hardy chorus of 'Happy Birthday.' In the center of the group, Mark was holding a large cake with lit candles.
From the bathroom, Arizona listened as her colleagues finished singing and soon a round appaulse could be heard. Knowing everyone would be distracted, Arizona took this as her opportunity to emerge unnoticed. She crept down the hallway and poked her head around the wall. As she suspected, all eyes were on the birthday girl. The blonde let out a breath and quietly made her way back into the room, blending with the crowd. She spotted Teddy near the kitchen and headed towards her. Feeling as though eyes were on her, Arizona happened to glace to her left and noticed Addison looking right at her. The redhead had a knowing smirk on her face and a raised eyebrow. Arizona averted her gaze. Addison knew where she had just come from.
The party began to wind down a little past midnight. Many of the attendants explaining they had work the following day and had to leave. Teddy and Arizona left at a respectable hour as well. Arizona did not want to seem too suspicious for staying longer than others.
Finally, everyone was gone except Mark who offered to help clean up. He and Callie both held trash bags in their hands as they walked around the apartment, picking up empty cups and plates.
"So, great party, huh?" Mark asked expectantly.
Callie smiled lightly, a bit winded from the excitement. "Yeah, it was great. You never fail to disappoint, Mark."
Mark grinned and nodded his head. "That's me."
"Except one thing."
"What?"
"The stripper. Mark, what were you thinking?"
"I was thinking of what you like. Usually a busty blonde hits the spot for you. What happened?"
Callie nodded in agreement. "It used to…" she sighed with reminiscence. "But Mark, you know Arizona and I... we're... it just wasn't cool."
"You and Arizona are... a couple?"
Callie shrugged. "I don't know what we are… but when that chick was all over me, I looked at her and… her face…" Callie shook her head, remembering that somber look on the blonde's face. "I couldn't do that to her."
Mark smiled lightly. "I get that, Cal. I'm sorry… I wasn't even thinking about that when I booked the stripper. You know, I never skimp on entertainment. That was my bad."
"It's fine, Mark. I know you were only trying to throw the best party ever for me… and you did. Thank you." Callie walked over to her friend and opened her arms.
Mark accepted the hug. "Anytime, Cal."
They broke the embrace. Mark kept his hands on Callie's shoulders and looked at his friend with a fond smile. "You're totally in love, Calster."
Callie shyly smiled and ducked her eyes.
"And you have amazing willpower. There is no way I would have been able to stop that busty blonde from giving me a lap dance."
Callie chuckled. "You would have if Lexie was there."
Mark lowered his hands and shrugged. "Maybe," he smiled.
After finishing up in the apartment, Mark bid Callie goodnight and left. Now, the only thing on Callie's mind was calling Arizona and receiving her birthday present. It was almost 1:30 in the morning, but the brunette could care less. She was wide awake. The brunette quickly called Arizona's number. The blonde picked up on the second ring.
"Everyone gone?" Arizona asked.
"Yep."
"Give me twenty minutes."
The line went dead.
The brunette furrowed her brows, wondering what Arizona was up to. While she waited, she decided to make herself more comfortable and took off her dress. Instead wearing a tank top and pajama bottoms. As she was changing, Callie caught a glimpse of the gauze wrapped on her shoulder. The bullet graze was healing nicely but still hurt a little bit, so she kept it covered. It was not noticeable when she wore her black dress because it had sleeves that just covered past her bandage.
Twenty minutes soon passed and a knock sounded at Callie's door. The brunette hustled over and looked through the peephole. She smiled when she saw Arizona on the other side and quickly opened the door to dimples smiling back at her.
"Hi, Calliope."
"Hi…" Callie drawled. Her eyes dropped down to Arizona's body. The blonde was wearing a simple light brown raincoat and high heels that made her legs look irresistible. Even though above the knees were covered. This just proved that Arizona could wear anything and still look hot. Callie wondered what exactly Arizona had on under the suspicious coat. "What's going on?"
"I came to give you your birthday present," Arizona husked, as she brushed past Callie into the apartment.
Callie smiled to herself before closing the door. She turned around and saw Arizona pulling out a chair from her dining area. The blonde placed it in the center of the room and looked at Callie.
"Sit there," Arizona commanded.
"Um… okay," Callie complied, walking over and taking a seat.
The blonde sauntered over to Callie's entertainment center. She took a CD out of her coat pocket and popped it in the player. Callie raised an eyebrow as Marvin Gaye's 'Let's Get It On' played over the speakers. She watched as Arizona walked towards her and stopped a good five feet away from her.
"You passed up a lap dance for me…" Arizona began, loosening the belt of her coat.
Callie's eyes moved from the blonde's gaze and down to the movement of Arizona's hands.
"So, now… I'm going to give you one myself."
The corner of Callie's lips curved into a sexy smile. Arizona untied the belt completely and slowly revealed what was under her coat.
Callie's eyes widened and her jaw practically hit the floor. "Oh… sweet mother of fuck…" Callie moaned as she stared at the miraculous vision before her.
Arizona was wearing a lacey, scandalous red bra that hugged her breasts together, creating the most irresistible and delicious cleavage Callie had ever seen. To compliment the bra, Arizona wore matching lace panties. Panties that teasingly showed off the bottom part the blonde's ass. And the red pumps? They made Arizona's stance strong and controlled. The toned muscles in the blonde's arms, legs, and stomach made Callie want to get on her knees and thank God for creating a woman so unbelievably hot. Arizona was a goddess.
Arizona began to sensually sway her hips to the beat of the music and Callie almost came on the spot. The blonde ran both of her hands up her body, over her breasts, and into her hair. She pushed up her blonde locks, making them look sexy and wild as she continued to move her body. Callie stared helplessly as she sat feet away from temptation. Staying on cue with the music, Arizona turned around with her back to Callie. She then slowly leaned forward at the waist and kept her legs straight. The sight of Arizona's ass in that position made Callie's clit throb and she bit her bottom lip. Arizona peeked around her leg and was pleased to see the reaction she got out of Callie. The blonde then leaned up and turned back around, slowly approaching the brunette.
Callie's heart was pounding wildly as Arizona came closer. She had no idea Arizona's body could move like that. And it was a pleasant surprise. Suddenly, a red pump was pressed against her chest, slightly pushing her back in the chair. Callie's eyes flickered from the pump to Arizona's dark blue eyes and she smirked wickedly. No longer able to resist, Callie's hands found purchase on the blonde's leg. She slowly began to trail her hands up Arizona's calf. Looking at the blonde's expression, she saw some of Arizona's resolve breaking but it soon disappeared. The blonde quickly slipped her leg from Callie's grasp. She then held up a finger, shaking it from side to side, silently say 'no, no,' with a sexy smile. The brunette grinned, liking Arizona's game.
The blonde backed away several steps and kicked off her pumps off her feet, sending them to land near Callie's couch. Arizona lowered herself to her hands and knees and sensually began to crawl towards Callie. It was the sexiest thing the brunette had ever seen. The movement of Arizona's body... the way her back curled and dipped as she crawled. The look in those dark blue eyes... Callie was thoroughly aroused. Arizona was now within arm's reach. She placed her hands on Callie's knees and slowly slid them up the brunette's thighs. Callie swallowed as she stared into Arizona's predatory eyes and those hands continued to move closer to her burning need.
Suddenly, Arizona slid them away and forcefully pushed Callie's legs apart at the knees. The brunette gasp at the unexpected move. Arizona smirked and leaned her head between Callie's legs. The Latina watched as Arizona snaked out her tongue and liked the air inches from Callie's crotch. The brunette groaned, wanting so badly to be naked and have Arizona really satisfy the burning between her legs. Callie gripped the sides of the chair beneath her. This was just too much for her to hold back much longer. This woman was killing her!
Arizona slowly moved up Callie's body and effortlessly straddled the brunette's hips. Callie watched with sexually intoxicated eyes as the blonde rubbed her hands on her own body. Arizona started at her abdomen, then sensually moved then upward, cupping her perfect breasts and squeezing. Callie whimpered at the sight. The blonde threw her head back and began to grind her hips into the Latina.
The blonde felt herself growing hot and she knew she needed Callie's hands on her in that moment. In a show of desperation, she swiftly grasped the brunette's hands and placed them on her hips. Callie happily complied and began to grind her hips upward, meeting Arizona's movement. The blonde was already beyond wet. Her plan of seduction had backfired in a way, because now Callie was seducing her. Arizona grasped a handful and Callie's hair and pressed the brunette's face between her breasts. She leaned her head back and closed her eyes at the sensation. Callie hummed and inhaled the sweet vanilla scented skin as she tasted, teased and nipped at anything she could get to.
"Oh… Arizona, you drive me crazy…" Callie whispered, no longer able to remain silent.
Upon hearing Callie's voice, Arizona broke her resolve. "Callie, touch me… please touch me…" she begged.
Callie let out a growl as her left hand went behind the blonde's head and pulled her down for a hungry kiss. Their tongues lustfully danced together and they both moaned in unison, needing each other desperately. The brunette wasted no time maneuvering her other hand between their bodies. She shoved aside Arizona's thin, skimpy panties and swiftly pushed two fingers inside the blonde's pussy.
Arizona let out a guttural moan as she felt Callie enter her. "Fuck, yes…" she groaned, as pleasure overloaded her body.
"God, you're so wet, baby…"
Arizona's hips began to move against Callie's fingers. "Uh-huh… it's all for you…" Arizona husked.
Callie practically melted, hearing Arizona say that. This was for her. All for her. Callie felt like the luckiest woman in the world right now. She loved being inside of Arizona and feeling this intimate with her. It blew her mind. "All for me…" Callie husked back. She began to pump deeper and faster as the blonde rode her fingers.
Arizona wrapped her arms around Callie's neck and put her lips against the brunette's ear. "You feel so good, Calliope…" she whimpered, rolling her hips faster.
"So do you..." Callie pumped her fingers harder and Arizona began to bounce in her lap. The blonde's moans filled the room and her labored breathing was the sexiest thing Callie ever heard. Soon Arizona's walls began to tighten as her inevitable climax approached. Callie inserted a third finger and curled them, stroking Arizona in just the right spot.
"Oh… fuck… oh… ohhh! Yes!" Arizona's nails dug into Callie's shoulders as wave after wave of pleasure came crashing down upon her body.
Callie held onto her through every second and loved the way Arizona looked when she came. It was beautiful. The blonde collapsed against her, breathing heavily.
Callie held Arizona in a protective embrace. She would do anything for Arizona and she felt her heart swell even more. She ran her fingers through blonde locks and gently rubbed up and down Arizona's back.
After a minute or so, Arizona's breathing evened out and she leaned back, looking into Callie's dark eyes. The blonde saw so much emotion swimming in those dark orbs. Every time she stared into Callie's eyes, she saw something that made her feel complete and so cared for. A feeling she wanted to have forever. Callie smiled softly, already lost in those baby blues. Arizona cupped Callie's jaw in her hands and slowly captured the brunette's mouth in a long, deep kiss. She whimpered slightly when Callie slipped out of her. The kissing continued as the Latina slowly stood to her feet, holding Arizona's in her arms. The blonde securely wrapped her legs around Callie as the brunette headed towards the bedroom.
"I must say… that was a fucking good birthday present," Callie commented.
It was early the following morning and she and Arizona were laying in bed together. The blonde was snuggled against Callie's side with her head on the brunette's shoulder.
"Yeah?" Arizona grinned.
"Most definitely…" Callie nodded. "I had no idea you could dance like that, by the way. It was smokin' hot."
Arizona leaned up on her elbow and looked down at Callie. "I'm glad you enjoyed it." She placed a kiss on Callie's lips before laying her head back down on a comfortable shoulder.
A few more minutes of silence passed between them. Arizona began to work that brain of hers and she remembered something she want to discuss.
"Calliope, I need to ask you something."
"Mm-hmm?"
"It's about… Addison."
"What about her?" Callie asked with nonchalance.
"Well… you had told me last night that you met her when you first moved out here…"
"I did."
"So… was she one of your... you know? Did you two… did you sleep with her?"
Callie took a moment to reply. "Why do you want to know that?" She tiredly asked.
The blonde shrugged. "I'm just curious."
"But why?" Callie asked, feeling a bit bothered by where this conversation was headed.
Arizona slowly sat up and slightly turned her body, looking down at the Latina. She heard the agitation in Callie's voice. "I just noticed the way she was interacting with you that's all. The way she would lightly touch your arm or... look at you like she's seen you naked."
Callie sighed heavily and sat up as well. "Arizona, whether I did slept with her or not… it doesn't matter. It's in the past. I don't live that kind of life anymore, remember?" Callie lifted her hand and softly stroked the side of Arizona's face. "Right now… I'm where I want to be."
"So, what's the harm in me asking?" The blonde softly asked.
Callie lowered her hand in defeat, noticing the sweet talk did not phase Arizona whatsoever. The blonde would never fall for her evasive tactics of bullshit. This made Callie slightly upset and she began to rub the side of her temple.
"Why can't I ask?" Arizona pushed.
"Jesus, can't we drop it?" Callie snapped.
"No, we can't!"
"I'm not asking you who you've slept with."
"This isn't about me. Why are you being such a stubborn ass? It's a simple question, Callie. Why can't you answer it?"
"I really don't want to, that's why."
"Why not?" Arizona replied just as firmly.
"Because I know you won't like the answer. We fucked, okay? It happened. Is that what you wanted to hear?"
Arizona's face slowly fell and she only stared back at Callie. The usual sparkle in those blue eyes had disappeared, only to be overshadowed by sadness. "I thought I wanted to hear it… I was wrong."
The blonde quickly climbed out of bed and began to put on her bra and panties. Callie rolled her eyes. Mainly at herself. She did not mean to become so angry so fast. Arizona did not deserve to be told the truth that way. Not so crudely. By the time she realized this, Arizona was storming out of her bedroom. Callie quickly climbed out of the bed and threw on a robe that was hanging on her door.
Arizona had thrown on her raincoat, securely fastening it closed and her pumps were in one. She wanted to get away. Away from the truth that hurt her so much. Callie had slept with Addison... but why was she so surprised? That was what Callie did. But she did not realize actually knowing this information would upset her this much. Make her feel so much. She opened the front door slightly but a strong hand slammed it closed, holding it in place.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry…" Callie quickly, but gently stammered. "You didn't deserve that."
Arizona did not move to try for the door again. She only stared blankly ahead, not looking at the Latina that had just hurt her seconds ago.
"I just…" Callie continued, trying to keep her emotions together. "I don't want to talk about my one-nightstands with you or anyone else because… I feel ashamed... disgusted, actually."
Arizona lowered eyes but still never looked Callie's way. The brunette lowered her hand from the door, realizing Arizona was not moving.
"When I would go with those random women and… follow them home… I never felt anything, ever. It was just… emptiness. And the thought of those nights are painful for me. I don't like the fact that you know how I used to be. I know I can't change that now, but it makes me sick that I was ever that way. Especially, now that I care about you, and respect you. Me talking to you about my unattached sex makes me feel like a douchebag," Callie chuckled dishearteningly. "Whenever I gloated about it, in your face, I was only trying to make you jealous. I was just lying to myself and everyone else. You're not like that. You don't jump into bed with anyone, shattering your self-respect…" Callie's voice finally cracked and tears began to shimmer in her eyes. "You're a beautiful person, Arizona. You deserve someone who can give you everything… someone who you can trust and will be with through anything."
The blonde slightly shifted her eyes Callie's way, showing that she was hearing what the Latina was confessing to her. However, she still refused to make eye contact.
"I've told you that you made me a better person…" Callie spoke shakily. "I like who I am when I'm with you. I feel again, when I'm with you..." Callie swallowed the lump of emotion in her throat. "That's why I'm hoping you'll choose me… because I love you."
Arizona shifted her tear brimmed eyes towards Callie. Astonishment and vulnerability sparkled in those baby blues. She was rendered speechless.
"I don't know if it happened after you slapped me for kissing you at the academy…" Callie continued with a small smile. "Or when I saw you for the first time again in ten years but… all I know is, when we made love for the first time… I felt something… I felt… alive."
Arizona gasped softly as fresh tears escaped her eyes and slowly rolled down her cheeks.
Callie stepped closer, tears in her eyes as well, and cupped Arizona's face with both hands. "I am so in love with you Arizona Robbins," she whispered shakily.
Arizona stared into the soft eyes before her and sighed. "Calliope…" Arizona breathed softly.
Callie waited with baited breath for Arizona's reply. This was it. She had put her heart out on the line again. She took the chance of getting hurt once again. The Latina was physically trembling as she waited for possible rejection. A tear rolled down her cheek. She had never been so afraid in her life.
"I love you, too."
