The cab ride wasn't very long. Not much was said between the two girls on the ride over. Arizona held Callie's hand the whole cab ride. The building was tall and looked extremely elegant. The two ladies made their way inside, walking up four flights of stairs. Arizona searched through her purse for the keys. Finally she popped them into the lock and swung the door open.

"Well this is it. This is my home!" Arizona said as she placed her keys on the key ring next to her door. Callie looked around, it was very.. bubbly. She had a light beige color on the walls, flowers in the kitchen and on the dining room table, she also had tons of photo's everywhere. Callie stopped in front of a picture that resembled a young Arizona. She smiled. Arizona snuck up behind her, "Yeah, don't look at those. I was an eleven year old living in the middle of Italy, my mom went a little camera crazy." Callie turned to face her.

"Italy? That's impressive."

"Not exactly. I'm a military brat. Well, at least I used to be one! We moved all the time." Arizona walked away from the photo and headed into the kitchen.

"Well if you don't like the picture, why is it up in your living room?"

"Oh, no.. I like the picture." Arizona shouted from the kitchen.

"But you just said -" Callie began to speak as she entered the dining room.

"Just because I like the picture doesn't mean I want you to be staring at it. It's so embarrassing." she paused smiling, "You should just be staring at me, I'm much cuter now." Callie laughed. "Do you want some water?" The refrigerator was now opened and Arizona had a cup in her hand.

"No, I'm okay." Callie replied politely.

"You're having water." Arizona closed the fridge and placed the pitcher of water on the counter. She then opened the freezer to grab some ice, all that was in Callie's sight was the lower half of Arizona's body. The dress she was wearing wrapped around her body perfectly. Her legs were so slim, long, and yet still very fit. Callie took a deep breath. She is so hot, how could I have missed this at the hospital? She was in somewhat of a daze, she hadn't even noticed Arizona standing in front of her with a glass full of water. She handed it over to her as she took a seat next to her.

"I don't need it." Callie playfully protested and moved the drink back over to Arizona's side of the table.

"You practically drank a whole bottle of tequila, you need it." She slid the drink in front of Callie smiling. Callie picked the drink up and before taking a sip she said,

"Well it's not my fault someone decided to get me drunk."

"That is not how it happened. God, you must be really wasted. I bought you one shot my friend. You downed five more without my help." Callie silently agreed and began drinking the water. "Besides, had I not brought you a drink we never would've spoken and without speaking we never would've had our first kiss." Arizona laughed as Callie slightly choked on the water. She wiped the water away from her mouth and was now laughing from embarrassment.

"Yeah…" Callie wasn't sure what else she should say. Arizona's head tilted to the side and was giving Callie a genuine smile.

"Come on, I'll show you the rest of my mansion." Sarcastically speaking Arizona rose from her seat and grabbed Callie's hand. Before leaving the dining room table Arizona turned back around, "Bring that with you!" She pointed to the glass of water. Callie rolled her eyes and grabbed the glass. They stepped into a small bedroom which had a couch and some dressers. Callie looked around. Arizona smiled, "This is just an empty room. I figured a couch took up less space than a bed, since no one is ever in here. Come on." She grabbed Callie's free hand. She pointed, "Bathroom is on the left."

She was skipping down her hallway. How does she do that in heels? Extremely sexy heels, that makes her ass look fabulous! Arizona stopped short in front of another door. With a devious smile on her face she said, "And this is my room." Callie felt her chest tighten and a small, nervous smile appeared on her face. She couldn't help it, she wasn't sure what all of this was leading too! Arizona swung the door open.

"Wow, this is really nice." Callie said as she placed her glass on Arizona's dresser. She looked around. There was a queen sized bed with pink and beige sheets, not quite as many pictures as there were in the living room, but still a decent amount, and once again there were flowers, this time they were on top of her dresser. She looked at a few of the photo's and she noticed the same man was in most of them. He was tall, muscular, and extremely handsome. Callie got nervous, she wasn't sure if this man was just Arizona's friend, perhaps a brother, or maybe something more? There were so many photo's of the two of them together, she could've sworn they were married. She then got nervous from those thoughts making her nervous. She had just met the girl. Her gazed was broken by Arizona's voice.

"Well, are you going to sit?" Callie turned around to find Arizona sitting on the bed. Callie nodded and approached the bed. Now sitting next to her, Arizona tucked a piece of Callie's hair behind her ear and spoke, "Why do you look so nervous?"

"I haven't really… uh, talked to… or, or done anything, since…" It took a while for the words to escape Callie's mouth, she looked down at her hands, she couldn't manage to make them stop fidgeting. She had never been so nervous before. Arizona nodded.

"She messed you up pretty bad, huh?" Callie looked up into Arizona's baby blue eyes and took a deep breath. She didn't even know where to begin.

"It's not that she broke me or anything, I just don't understand why you would just leave without saying anything, ya know? We didn't date for very long, so it's not like I wanted this huge explanation, but we were friends before all this happened, I just, kinda wish she could've had the decency to say goodbye to me, as a friend." That was the most Callie had said to anyone about the situation with Erica. Arizona listened, and not the kind of listen where you just want the other person to stop talking, she was actually hearing what Callie had to say. Arizona grabbed Callie's hand. She liked to hold her hand.

"You're right. That was pretty rude of her. Maybe…maybe you're better off though! I mean, I guess that's just my way of thinking about it. Everyone that walks in and out of your life teaches you a lesson and I know that sometimes, most of the time it doesn't feel so good, but there's always a reason for it all."

"Yeah, but when do I get the reason?" Callie was calm.

"Whenever you want. You dissever it yourself."

"So I make the decision? I choose what lesson she taught me?"

"You do, you have the power." Callie let herself digest Arizona's words. The concept was very insightful and made a lot of sense. Everything made more sense, George cheated because he wanted to, not because Callie wasn't good enough. She could move on because she knew she was better for it. And Erica walked away from their friendship and relationship, but it wasn't Callie's fault. Erica made that choice, Callie was a good friend and did her best to be the best partner she could be for the short time they were together. These people left her because she was better off without them. I have the power. Callie was in her own world thinking about what all this meant.

"Hey Callie…"

"Yes?" she was drawn back into Arizona, who had been unable to take her eyes off of her since she sat on the bed.

"I'm gonna kiss you now." Arizona smiled. Callie didn't say anything. Arizona inched closer to her, "I mean, last time I did you seemed a little surprised, so I figured this time I'd give you a warning." Now with their lips almost touching. Callie spoke.

"Okay." Arizona closed the little bit of space separating their lips. This kiss was slightly different than their first. Arizona didn't take her time, her tongue begged for entrance once their lips pressed into each other. Callie put her hand on Arizona's cheek bringing her as close as she possibly could. Their tongues fighting for dominance. Arizona sucked on Callie's bottom lip and she sat up from where she was sitting on the bed. Lips still connected Arizona put her hand on Callie's shoulder and pushed her gently down on the bed. Callie was now laying down with Arizona straddled on top of her. They hadn't stopped to take a breath and neither of them felt that it was necessary. This can't be real. I have this sexy blonde straddling me with her tongue in my mouth? Arizona brushed her hair out of her face and lightly placed her hand on the back of Callie's neck. Their mouths on one another just felt so good, so right, why stop it? Callie's hands made their way down to Arizona's dress which was now hiked all the way up to her hips. Callie let her hands rest on top of Arizona's exposed thighs. Arizona removed her lips from Callie's and traveled over to Callie's neck. She lightly nibbled and sucked on the side of her neck, almost by her jaw. Callie moaned softly. She could feel Arizona smile against her. She now began planting little kisses on her, up and down Callie's neck until she returned to her lips. They softly kissed one another and Callie, for the first time in a long time felt good. Though she deeply cared about Erica, kissing Arizona was much different. Much better. Though they had just met, there was something so intriguingly beautiful about Arizona, something she hadn't seen in Erica. Perhaps that was too harsh to say, but it was how Callie felt.

Arizona kissed Callie once more and then for the first time since they had begun kissing she backed away. She was looking Callie directly in the eye and didn't speak.

"What? Is something wrong?" Callie asked quietly.

"No, no. Nothing's wrong." Arizona kissed Callie lightly once more as she got up from the position she was currently in. Callie sat up from the bed.

"I think you're extremely cute.." Arizona smiled as she readjusted herself next to Callie.

"But you're not into me like that?" I knew this was too good to be true.

"What? No, no. God, no. You are…" Arizona paused, "Maybe we should slow it down. Don't get me wrong, You are gorgeous. You're also super sweet and you have a great smile…" Callie began to blush.

"But?" She said playfully.

"But...What's your favorite color?" Arizona randomly asked.

"What?"

"You don't have a favorite color? Everyone has a favorite color."

"Uh, I like the color red?" Callie said as if she was unsure.

"Hm, I like pink." Arizona said. Callie was lost as to what just happened.

"You should finish your water." Arizona stood up from the bed. Callie followed her lead. She walked over to the dresser where she had put the water down. One minute she's on top of me, the next she's uninterested? Maybe she's a coaster person? Maybe I should've asked if she wanted me to use a coaster when I put my water down?

"Do you have a bottle of water? Or just an empty bottle I can use?" Callie said holding the glass.

"Why, you have a cup?"

"I don't think you want me taking your cup home with me?" Callie said as she turned around to find Arizona taking her dress off. Callie realized she had practically no clothes on and turned away quickly. "I'm sorry…" She apologized.

"For what? I'm just changing. It's not like I'm completely naked. Unless you want me to be?" Arizona said flirtatiously. First you wanna sleep with me, then you don't and start asking about my favorite color, now you want to get naked? Lesbian's are just as confusing as men.

"I… uh" Before Callie could finish Arizona came up behind her.

"I'm all dressed now, it's safe to look." Callie was highly confused on what was going on. She politely smiled and walked out of the room. Leaving Arizona standing there, now also very confused. Arizona quickly followed her. "Where are you running off to?" She asked as Callie was putting the glass of water in the sink.

"Well I figured we weren't… You got undressed… I -" Callie was now by the front door.

"And you don't wanna stay…" Arizona said standing next to her.

"Well I assumed by your speech in there that you wanted me to go. So I can just leave, it's no big deal. Thanks for the drink earlier and the water and the… other stuff -"

"Callie.." Arizona stood there in her pajamas with a confused look on her face.

"Yes?" Callie answered rather fast.

"Stay. I think you're interesting and adorable. All I meant back there was that I'd like to get to know you better. I figured we could talk more. I mean, if you don't want to I understand."

"You wanna get to know me?" Callie said genuinely surprised.

"Yes, I wanna get to know you. Then we can have sex." Arizona laughed and Callie laughed from embarrassment. "Doesn't have to be tonight… Maybe tomorrow night, after I take you out on a date."

"A date?" Callie smiled.

"Dinner, we should go get dinner. I'd like to take you to dinner." Arizona smiled and her dimples were just so perfect. Callie smiled back at her and Arizona figured that meant, yes. "But I also would really like it if you would stay tonight." Callie didn't speak for a while,

"Okay."

"Okay you'll stay or okay to dinner?" Callie dropped her purse on the couch and walked closer to Arizona.

"Both." Callie leaned in and kiss Arizona gently. A small peck, but it still sent shivers down both of their spines. Callie began walking to the kitchen to get the cup of water and it took Arizona a moment to follow, but eventually she did, with a large smile on her face.
