CHAPTER 52 A
Saying good-bye to Arizona the next day was probably one of the hardest thing Calliope Torres ever had have to do. At least it felt like that to the Latina. It had felt weird and wrong all over. But when the blonde had reminded her of the fact that their parents would be arriving late Thursday afternoon and that they would be going out to dinner, Callie had calmed down a bit. The thought of that she wouldn't be able to see Arizona before the wedding had started to eat her up from the inside. Why, she couldn't figure out though. Teddy had picked Arizona up around lunchtime and she herself was going to the airport to pick up Addison. Tonight she had been promised a lot of wine and a big portion of girl-talk. Callie had to admit to her self that she had missed Addison Montgomery. A lot. They always had this strange connection and if it was someone besides Mark and someone who was a woman, that Callie always had been able to talk about everything with, it was Addison. They didn't had many chances to talk face to face since Addison now lived in Los Angeles but a couple of times each year they made sure that the face to face-thing happened. Now, it was a special occasion but Callie could never dream of getting married without having Addison there.
Callie tiptoed nervously around in the arrival lounge as she waited for Addison to come through the security check. And when her sight and eyes finally caught her red-haired friend coming through the gate the Latina's face it up and a wide smile invaded her face.
"Callie!" Addison smiled and dropped her bags at her feet so she could hug the Latina tightly.
"God, you don't know how good it is to see you!" Callie replied, still hugging her best friend. "I'm a total wreck!"
Addison let the Latina go and leaned back to study Callie cautiously.
"Is there something wrong for real or do you just have pre-wedding nerves that are messing with you? Cause if it is the nerves then I have the perfect cure. Tequila!"
Callie laughed out loud when she heard the red heads options.
"You're crazy. Do you know that?"
"I know" Addison said and pretended to sound very serious and grown-up. "But you know that I'm always right so you don't have anything to say."
"Ha!" Callie exclaimed and raised her eyebrows. "But just to be clear, it is pre-wedding nerves. It felt horrible to say goodbye to Arizona today somehow. I don't know why."
"It's common" Addison tried to reassure the Latina. "I remember feeling exactly the same when Derek and I got married. I felt so lonely…and half when we parted before the wedding. But when we met at the altar I felt more complete and whole again than I've ever had before. Things are just he way they're supposed to be Callie. Trust me."
"Okay, let me just say how glad I am that you are here", Callie smiled. "I'm already feeling better. Much better."
"That's the point" Addison said and giggled. "Now, let's leave this airport. We have a lot to talk about and I'm guessing we also have a lot of wine that just long for us to drink it!"
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"You seem awfully calm for someone who's getting married in two days" Teddy Altman stated with her eyebrows raised towards Arizona Robbins where they sat in the hotels lunch restaurant. "It's almost scary."
The blonde laughed at her friends comment but continued to eat her salad. They had arrived at the hotel where the spa was located and had decided to eat a late lunch before they checked out their room.
"I feel strangely calm" Arizona admitted. "But I'm so happy about what's going to happen that I can't even describe it. Just think about it, a couple of months ago I got back from Africa and didn't even know if there was a "Callie and Arizona" anymore."
Teddy nodded understandingly.
"It's quite remarkable I'll say. But I'm so happy for you. Both of you."
"Thanks", the blonde replied and fired off one of her dimpled smiles. "I'm so glad we got the chance to do this Teddy. We haven't had the chance to spend so much time together as I would have wished for. Time is something we haven't got much of in our jobs…"
"Amen to that!" Teddy sighed out. "But you know, I'm also really glad we are here so let's just do the best of the time we got! Which reminds me, what time do we have to be back in Seattle tomorrow?"
"Callie is going to pick up both her and my parents at the airport so you and I doesn't have to hurry at all", the blonde explained and sounded very happy about at the same time. "It's enough if we are back in town at six or something tomorrow night."
"Great!" the cardio surgeon said and sounded very pleased. "Then we have time for some bonding."
"We sure have!" Arizona said firmly. So, what are we waiting for? Come on! Eat up!"
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"Seriously" Callie said still sounding very sane-minded in spite of the number of glasses with wine she had been drinking already. "What do you think of Arizona?"
Addison wrinkled her nose and pretended to think.
"What do I think of Arizona Robbins? Hmm."
"I'm trying to be serious here" the Latina said and slapped the red haired woman's arm playfully.
They sat in the couch in Callie and Arizona's apartment and just enjoyed the after glow of the homemade dinner the Latina had cooked for them.
"Seriously?" Addison questioned and looked Callie straight in the eyes. "Seriously, I think that you two are made for each other. She is a very good human being Callie."
Callie couldn't stop the smile that started to play in the corner of her mouth when the blonde became the subject of their talking.
"She is the best, isn't she?"
"You're so whipped Torres!" Addison laughed but then quickly became more serious again. "But you know what? I can't remember seeing you this happy ever. So yes, she is in fact the best, cause I can't think of anything more better than you being this happy."
"I love you, you know that don't you?" the Latina replied with tears threatening to appear after hearing the red head's words.
"Shush you!" Addison let out. "This is happy stuff we are talking about. No crying. Tell me what you have planned for Arizona on Friday instead. But…just so you know. I love you to."
Callie giggled softly.
"I'm going to sing for her at the wedding. Sing my vows."
"Really?" Addison said and sounded pretty impressed. "With your voice I can already tell that that will be a party. With crying and tears. Happy crying and tears though."
"Owen Hunt has been helping me and he is going to play the guitar" the Latina continued. "And I want to do it, for Arizona's sake. I've found a song which's lyrics explain every feeling and thought I have of her."
"I'm getting goose-bumps already" Addison mumbled, obviously touched of what Callie had planned for her bride to be. "See?"
The Latina studied the red head's arm to see it and nodded with a smile.
"Can you tell me what song it is?" Addison asked.
"Nope" the Latina teased. "It's a surprise for everyone."
"You just want me to cry even more at the wedding" Addison pouted and raised her glass to take another sip from her wine."
"Oh yes" Callie smirked. "That's my plan exactly. Now, how about we pour ourselves some more wine?"
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"Oh God!" Arizona huffed. "My head. This is torture!"
Teddy groaned and turned around in bed.
"Don't speak too loud, please", she mumbled from the other side of the room.
Both Arizona's and Teddy's memories from last night was blurry. They have had a fantastic day at the hotel's spa and also a great dinner. But what had happened after was a mystery. Too much wine. Definitely too much wine. But even so, Arizona remembered a really great talk with Teddy. Girls, one on one. And the way the blonde's head was pounding this morning it seemed like they have had a really great talk. Even if Arizona for the moment wasn't sure of what exactly they had talked about. She sighed out and turned around in bed since it what quite obvious that Teddy was not in the mood to get yet. Arizona decided to follow her best friend's lead and closed her eyes to get some more sleep. Tonight she was going to see her parents. And they were going to meet Callie's parents. And she was going to see Callie again. It was silly. They had only been apart one day. Twenty-four hours. But still, she missed the Latina like crazy.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"Yep, we definitely drank too much last night!" Addison confirmed and wrinkled her nose at the sight of the empty wine bottles that revealed the reason to both her own and Callie's secure signs of hangovers.
"We can always comfort ourselves with the fact that it was the best night in a really long time", Callie said firmly and fired off a smile.
Even though the Latina's head hurt like hell and her mouth was dry as a desert she felt extremely relaxed. Talking with Addison last night about everything between heaven and earth had been very meaningful to Callie.
"You're just trying to butter me up" Addison teased. " Really Callie, I'm not going to leave you alone tonight when you get home after dinner. Don't worry."
"I'm not worried" Callie smirked. "You like to hang out with me too much to deceive me. Especially the night before my wedding. What are you going to do tonight?"
"I'm actually going to hang out with Mark, Meredith and Derek", Addison informed. "Believe it or not. Little Grey is working the night shift so it'll just be us. And before you say anything, no I'm not going to sleep with Mark."
"I wasn't going to say anything about that" Callie defended. "But…does it not feel weird to hang out with your ex-husband, his new wife and the person who is the reason that your ex-husband in fact is you ex-husband?"
"Actually" Addison started. "It feels quite nice. I love both Derek and Mark. As friends though. And I'm glad that Derek has found someone to love. Really."
"It's quite noble of you, I must admit that", Callie said sincerely. "And I…"
Callie got cut off when Arizona and Teddy chose to enter the apartment by stumbling through the door and Addison couldn't help but smile to herself when she saw how the Latina's face lit up to the sight of a certain blonde.
"You're home already?" Callie asked dumbfounded. "Why? I was suppose to get to the airport alone to get our parents in a couple of hours."
"Am I scoring any points if I told you that the reason we're home a couple of hours earlier than we said is because I missed you?" Arizona said softly and winked at the Latina. "Hi Addison!"
"Hi there!" Addison smiled back and stepped up to hug the blonde.
When the red head let the blonde go Arizona took a few short steps to get to Callie.
"Hi" she half whispered half said and Callie's heart melted slightly when she saw the sparkles in the blonde's eyes.
"Hi" the Latina murmured and opened her arms just enough to welcome Arizona.
As always the couple seemed to forget that they weren't alone in the room and the soft kiss Callie gave Arizona turned in to a more carried away one that made Arizona moan softly.
"Hey!" Teddy blurted out and cleared her throat before she took two large steps up to them and pushed Callie back teasingly. "You two have to behave for another twenty-four hour. Get off from her, right now."
Callie pouted like a little puppy making both Addison and Teddy laugh.
"Oh my poor baby" Arizona said and cupped her lover's face before she started to laugh also.
"Come on" Addison said and tried to get her laughter to die down. "Let's go out to get a cup of coffee before you have to go to the airport.
"Now, that's a great idea!" Teddy agreed. "Come on lovebirds. Chop-chop!"
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
It wasn't until Callie and Arizona had left Teddy and Addison at Starbuck's and had got in the car to leave for the airport they both realized how much they really had missed one another. When Callie put her seat belt on she felt the blonde wriggle in her seat and one second later Arizona's lips melded with hers.
"God, I feel like I'm going to explode if I don't kiss you right now" the blonde sighed out her relief and tried to catch her breath at the same time.
Without even knowing it Arizona also had grabbed a handful of Callie's shirt in a possible attempt to be as close as she could to her lover.
"You smell so incredibly good" Callie mumbled softly. "I love you. And I really can't wait for tomorrow and tomorrow night. When we're alone...completely alone."
Arizona couldn't help it. A loud moan escaped her mouth and she held on to Callie desperately.
"I want you", she whispered. "I really, really do. In every way possible. Like right now…"
Callie whimpered totally unaware of it. But Arizona's words were too painful to hear. Good painful though. Still kissing the hell out of each other they managed to maneuver themselves so Arizona suddenly had climbed over to Callie and straddled the Latina. Luckily they still were in the garage under the apartment building, it was just enough the dark so it wouldn't be obvious for anyone to see them but also they had their car in a corner spot.
"Are you sure?" Callie said totally out of breath. "Cause I know this isn't what you wanted."
"Touch me", the blonde begged with a whimper to shut the Latina up. "Just…do."
Callie swallowed hard and closed her eyes for a brief moment just to make clear that she had heard Arizona right. When she opened her eyes again a second later she let her hands travel from the blonde's waist, under Arizona's t-shirt, and up her body.
"I've missed this" Callie admitted and closed her eyes again when she felt the blonde's soft skin under her fingers.
No verbal answer came from Arizona. Instead she just cupped the Latina's face resolutely and leaned down to kiss her lover again. The blonde forced Callie's lips to part immediately and shoved her tongue inside to wrestle with the Latina's. Totally out of control with no thoughts whatsoever on the fact they had agreed to wait until tomorrow night, Arizona started to rock herself back and forth against Callie and her touch. Just when Callie was about to cup the blonde's breasts one of their iPhone's started to make noise and interrupted them in their actions.
"Don't answer" Arizona whined when they both realized who's phone it was that rang.
"I have to baby", Callie said apologetically and read the display. "It's my dad."
The blonde let Callie's face go reluctantly and grabbed the headrest behind the Latina to get enough support to her body and tried to calm down her already worked up breathing and body when Callie answered. In a daze she heard Callie speak to her dad and it was something about being early and where they were.
"They've already landed" Callie said after she had hung up trying to hide her frustration. "We have to go."
Arizona groaned and sighed at the same time.
"Fine" she huffed and climbed off Callie's lap and back to her own seat next to the driver's seat. "Can you just promise me one thing?"
"I can promise you anything" the Latina said mildly when she heard the frustration impregnate the words from the blonde.
"That we turn off our stupid iPhones tomorrow night."
Callie laughed.
"That's really a promise!"
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
If Arizona Robbins and Calliope Torres thought they'd ever had been sexually frustrated before in their lives it was nothing compare to this. After their almost sex-situation in the car earlier they couldn't even look at each other, no less being near each other without wanting to just throw first both of their parents out the door and then their clothes off. Sitting a whole dinner and night through, trying to be civil and behave nicely was just torture. Since they had such wonderful friends they was going to let their parents have the apartment for the night and Callie was going to sleep with Addison in an hotel room and Arizona was going to sleep with Teddy at the same hotel. Stealing just a couple of minutes to be alone they sneaked in to their bathroom before their friends were suppose to show up to get them to the hotel, they got engaged in some heavy kissing with Arizona's back pressed up against the bathroom door.
"This is torture!" Arizona tried to whisper in a low voice but had to bit her lower lip to not just scream her pleasure out when Callie's lips started to work their magic on her neck. "Can't we just let Teddy and Addison share on of the rooms and then we can take the other one ourselves and just…just…"
"Just what baby" Callie smirked with her lips still pressed against the blonde's soft skin on her neck.
Callie loved when Arizona lost her words caused by the Latina's attempt to pleasure her.
"Just fuck each other's brains out!" Arizona giggled and tried to keep her voice down.
"I love how your mind works sometimes" Callie whispered back and stopped the kissing for a minute to lean back to lose herself in the blonde's baby blue eyes.
"Just sometimes?" Arizona questioned and raised one perfect eyebrow.
"All the time" Callie quickly said. "And as much as I love your idea…"
"But?" the blonde cut her off. "You don't want to fuck my brain out?"
"I do" the Latina quickly reassured. "I really, really do…but I think we have earned to wait until tomorrow night."
"And you're doing it again" Arizona whispered as tears swelled in her eyes.
"What?" Callie said dumbfounded.
"Making me feel like the most loved woman in the whole world", the blonde murmured. "And not to mention the most lucky woman in the world also…and I can't wait until tomorrow."
A couple of minutes slipped by when the two lovers just stood and drowned in each other's eyes. Their minds had already traveled ahead of time and had already reached tomorrow and tomorrow night a million times when Addison and Teddy showed up to get them…
Okay, here's the deal. I had to make the chapter about the wedding in to an A and a B. It is just to long. And time travels fast and I haven't got the time upon till now to post the first part. Hope it's enough for you guys…hopefully I can get the next part up tomorrow. The best part ;)
