My Dearest Calliope,

Sometimes it's easy to feel like you're the only one in the world who's struggling, who's frustrated, or unsatisfied at barely getting by. But, that feeling is a lie and if you just hold on and just find the courage to face it all for another day, someone or something will find the way and make it all okay. Because we all need a little help sometimes, someone to help us hear the music in the world. To remind us that it won't always be this way. That someone is out there, and that someone will find you.

All my Love,

A

"Can't we just go home now?" Callie whined.

"Just one more store", Arizona promised. "It'll be worth it…"

Arizona had wanted to go shopping and Callie had been happy complying with her girlfriend's wishes but the blonde had been going at it for hours and the brunette's patience started to run out.

"Fine", Callie grunted and was making sure to let Arizona hear how dissatisfied she was.

"Oh come on baby", Arizona said with a playful tone in her perky voice and poked Callie's side. "This is fun! I can't even remember when I went shopping the last time. And for this last stop I REALLY going to need your advises and guidance."

Callie was just about to pout back when she saw where Arizona was about to take her. Seattle's most expensive and most famous lingerie store. Arizona smirked at Callie's expression when it was obvious to her that the brunette had realized where they were headed.

"You think you're so smart", Callie said. "You can't fool me into having sex with you just by making me see you trying on some underwear."

"Well, then this shouldn't be a problem for you", the blonde said sweetly and took Callie's arm and dragged her in to the store.

Once inside the blonde started her search on what she was looking for. Callie plopped herself down at a chair right outside the fitting room.

"Now, I'm not kidding", she heard Arizona say from inside. "I really need your opinion on this one. It's to expensive for me to decide on."

Callie huffed and got up from the chair and walked to where Arizona was. Before she had the chance to say anything she found herself being dragged in to the small booth where her girlfriend was. Callie had to close her eyes almost immediately at the sight of Arizona to stop herself to not just throw herself at the blonde.

"You're mean", the brunette managed to get out.

"Do you like it?" Arizona asked very softly.

The blonde wore a black lacy bra showing of much more then it should be doing and also it was pushing up all the right parts of her chest. Callie let her eyes roam over Arizona's body, which was standing way to close at the moment for her to NOT be affected in ways that was not proper in a public place like this. But oh, Callie couldn't help it, her mouth was suddenly to dry and her heart was pounding like crazy. Those mounds, those perfectly shaped breasts, which Callie knew all to well, would fit perfectly in her hands. She had to swallow hard to try and regain control over her breathing but still, she couldn't tear her eyes away from the sexy, OH SO sexy blonde standing in front of her looking like smoke was coming out of her baby blue eyes. This was obviously getting to Arizona as well.

"I guess", Callie said weakly.

"Maybe you need to get a closer look then", Arizona whispered back and before Callie could open her mouth to answer the blonde had taken the brunette's hand and placed it on one of her bra-covered breasts.

They both moaned low at the contact and suddenly the air in the little booth was very thick and steamy. Callie's free hand moved up to cover a space on the blonde's flat stomach and the one that Arizona had placed on her chest was making its way around by its own force.

Arizona had known all to well that this was a risky move to make but she hadn't being able to resist the chance to tease her girlfriend for a bit and right now she was praying that this would make Callie give in so they could go home and satisfy each other need's. Arizona cupped the backside of Callie's head to pull her in for a kiss and she felt such big relief when she felt that Callie obviously was very happy to comply with that. As usual it didn't take them long for the kiss to intensify and Callie felt herself melt in to the blonde's kiss. Damn this childish bet! She couldn't take it anymore. And this was stupid! They had been through so much and had struggled a lot to get to this point and when they finally had no obstacles to get over this stupid bet had got in the way for them to just enjoy being together again. Well, screw that! Callie had enough of this.

Arizona was also on the verge of just giving in. The feeling created by Callie's hands exploring her upper-body was just too hard to resist. She weakened with every touch from the brunette and when her back hit the wall behind her and Callie's touches intensified she had to gather all her strength to not just moan out loud.

"Do you need help in there or have you found what you were looking for?"

Callie and Arizona stiffened when they heard the words from outside and jumped apart directly. They gave each other an apologizing look and Callie sighed.

"Yes", Arizona answered. "I found exactly what I was looking for."

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The women couldn't get back to Callie's apartment fast enough and all through the elevator ride up they were engaged in a very hot and heavy make out session that left them both breathless.

"Oh God", Arizona panted. "Oh God, oh God, ooooh God! We need to get inside like right now."

Callie dragged the blonde out of the elevator and slammed her against the apartment door still kissing the living hell out of her while she fumbled with her hand searching for her key in her pocket. Kissing and sucking Arizona's neck she took the key up and tried to unlock her door at the same time.

"Uuuufffgghh!" they let out at the same time when the door suddenly opened and they fell inside the apartment and on to the floor from the pressure caused by Callie pushing Arizona against it.

There own bags and the shopping bags flew all over the floor but neither of them could care less at this point.

"Wait!" Callie suddenly squeaked out where she lying on top of Arizona. "Does this mean no one looses and that the bet is off? Or are you just playing me again?"

"Does it look like I'm JUST playing with you this time?" the blonde breathed out heavily. "Now shut up and just…just DO me!"

And with that Arizona grabbed a handful of Callie's black top and pulled her flat against her body. The blonde's back arched up from the floor just like she still wasn't satisfied with the already close contact they were in. Callie grabbed the hem of Arizona's shirt and lifted it up enough to expose the blonde's stomach and with that done the brunette started to kiss her way down towards where Arizona's real desire were.

"If you stop now I'm going to kill you! I mean it."

Callie could hear the frustration and the deadly seriousness in the blonde's command. Without even answer verbally she took a hold of Arizona's hips and was just about to undo her jeans when…

"You have got to be kidding me!" Arizona almost cried out. "This is a joke, right? Is it yours?"

Callie had to take a few seconds before she even realized what had caused Arizona's sudden outburst. And then she caught up with what happened, off course, one of their pagers was making the most terrible noise.

Callie grunted and crawled off Arizona's body and the blonde wasn't far behind making her own grunts of frustration.

"It's mine", Callie declared with an apologetic look in her eyes. "It's a 911-call. I'm guessing that this has something to do with Stacey Kinley who I operated on this Sunday. I told Owen he could page me if something came up…"

Arizona sighed out were she still was lying on the floor.

"We're cursed", she said and sat up. "We shouldn't have come up with that stupid, STUPID and very unsmart bet."

Callie who was already in her leather jacket and on her way to the door, giggled softly.

"I wish I could argue with you on that but I can't", she said and kissed the blonde quickly. "Stay here if you want. I'll probably not go to get home anyway before my shift starts tomorrow morning anyway."

Arizona sighed again and plopped herself back on the floor.

"Go", she said and smiled back at her girlfriend. "Go be the best."

With one last smile Callie was out the door. Arizona tried to calm herself down and stayed on the floor for a few minutes. She had never experienced so much sexual tension and frustration in her whole life. And what was even worse was, that after she did a quick equation in her head that she realized that she and Callie weren't going to see each other properly before Sunday when they had to go to New York. They both had a ton of work to get over with since they weren't going to be at the hospital the following week caused by the medical conference in New York. Plus their shifts this week also weren't fitting each other at all.

Arizona growled at the calculation she just had made about this week. Yep, they were cursed.
