A/N: Oh my gosh. Guys, I am SO SORRY! I know, I know, it's been over a month. I hate when people do this to me too, so I get it. At least I didn't leave it on cliffhanger. But life gets in the way, and it's been harder for me to find motivation for this story for some reason. I'm obviously going to continue because I know where I want it to go(: Just might be one update every two weeks for a while. But I'll try my best to make it faster than that. Thanks for your patience and understanding and for sticking with me! Enjoy!
Chapter 16:
Arizona woke up the next morning and felt around the bed next to her. Her eyes snapped open as she didn't immediately feel the soft skin of the woman she loved.
It was empty.
She sat up in bed, hair in disarray, wondering where Callie had gone. Don't panic, she assured herself.
"Calliope!" she called out as loud as she could.
Nothing. She heard nothing.
Had Callie really left this morning without saying goodbye? She looked around for a note, but again found nothing.
Did she freak out and run?
Arizona was starting to have a mini panic attack.
She groaned and hit her head with a pillow repeatedly and cowered under the covers. She started muttering to herself. "Stupid, stupid. Of course she left, you idiot. Stupid. You freaked her out with your lesbianness and now she's gone."
Callie came into the doorway wearing just a white robe holding a tray of breakfast, and leaned against the door frame as she smirked at the rambling blonde under the covers.
She cleared her throat, getting Arizona's attention.
Arizona slowly pulled the covers down from over her head and peered out at Callie.
Callie chuckled slightly at the embarrassed blonde, finding her absolutely adorable.
"Um..." Arizona trailed off, clearing her own throat, "How much of that did you hear?"
"Bits here and there," Callie said making her way over to the bed, putting the tray down at the bedside table.
"When I called your name and you didn't respond I thought you had left," Arizona admitted sheepishly, picking at the covers.
"So I gathered," Callie slowly getting on the bed and crawling her way up Arizona, "I just had my headphones in while I was making your breakfast." Callie softly let her body land on Arizona's as they came face to face and gently twirled the blonde strands.
"You made me breakfast, that's so sweet," Arizona said with a smile as she rubbed Callie's arms, "But it's my apartment, I should have been the one to make you breakfast."
"I don't think that would have been good for anyone," Callie said chuckling.
Arizona scoffed.
"I've seen you cook, sweetie, and we know how that turned out," Callie said smiling slightly.
"That was one time!" Arizona said in mock anger, "And that spaghetti was really hard to make. Not my fault it burned and-yeah okay, I'm a terrible cook."
Callie laughed gingerly.
"But that's why I like to keep you around," Arizona said wiping raven locks out of Callie's face.
"Mm, yeah, that's the only reason," Callie said knowingly, leaning down gently to give Arizona a proper good morning kiss. The kiss was slow, yet still loving as their lips moved as one, tongues seeking entrance in the other's mouth.
Callie slowly pulled away, leaving her lips lingering for a moment and mumbled, "Morning."
"Mm, morning," Arizona muttered sweetly.
"You really thought I left this morning?" Callie asked, eyebrows furrowing in confusion.
Arizona attempted to cover her face with her arms as she mumbled, "Maybe..."
"Arizona..." Callie drawled, pulling Arizona's arms away from her face, "How could you even think that?"
"I just..." Arizona struggled to find words and sighed, "I don't know. I guess I just thought maybe you freaked out this morning after you realized what we did last night, or maybe last night wasn't as wonderful once you woke up in the morning..." Arizona avoided eye contact as she looked anywhere but Callie.
Callie smiled slightly and lightly cupped Arizona's cheek to force eye contact. "Arizona," she sighed scanning her face, "Last night was just...I can't even think of an accurate word to describe just how..." Callie trailed off looking into Arizona's eyes, unable to convey such a strong feeling with words. "I don't know about you, but for me...last night was perfect," she whispered softly.
"Mind-blowing," Arizona whispered as her smile grew.
"Earth-shattering," Callie added.
"Life-changing," Arizona said with a laugh, "Glad we're on the same page."
"See, even those words aren't enough."
"Agreed."
"I'm not going to run, I'm not going to freak out," Callie said, reassuring Arizona as much as possible, "I'm all in, and I'm staying right here as long as you'll have me."
"Then plan on staying right here for a very long time, Calliope," Arizona said blinking and gripped Callie by the nape of her neck to pull her in hard for a kiss. Callie moaned slightly, allowing herself to get lost in the kiss.
"You don't want your breakfast?" Callie muttered against Arizona's lips.
"Mm, no," Arizona said shaking her head, continuing to kiss Callie.
Callie smirked slightly and said, "But you have to be hungry, what with all of the...exercise we did last night...you should eat something."
Arizona smiled back into their kiss and replied huskily, "Oh, I plan on doing plenty of eating..."
Callie gasped into the kiss feeling immediate heat once again as Arizona's tongue stuck out into her mouth.
"While I love how you look in my robe," Arizona mumbled slowly pushing the sides of the robe down, "You're a little overdressed for my liking."
Callie chuckled as she helped Arizona rid of her own clothes and slid under the covers for skin on skin contact.
Arizona flipped them over so that she was on top and immediately sunk into Callie's form as their slick bodies moved as one. Arizona moaned as she pushed her leg in between Callie's and was immediately met with wetness.
"You're already so wet, baby," Arizona breathed out kissing Callie's face wherever she could.
"I'm always wet around you," Callie managed to groan out.
Arizona wasted no time in nipping and sucking her way down Callie's body. Now that she had tasted Callie, she never wanted to taste anything else again. She stuck her head between Callie's legs and took a long, deep breath, basking in Callie's perfect scent.
Callie bit her lip and gripped the sheets just in anticipation of what Arizona was about to do.
Arizona wrapped her arms securely around Callie's thighs and muttered in awe, "I'm never going to get used to this," before latching onto Callie's bundle of nerves and working her magic with her strong tongue. Callie squirmed as her hips bucked and her knuckles went white from the vice grip on the sheets. She grabbed a pillow and pushed it over her face to stifle a moan, but it did no good as she cried out Arizona's name for the world to hear in pleasure, an orgasm only Arizona could produce ripping through her body.
Arizona slid her way up Callie's body and tossed the pillow away from her face and wiped the hair out of her face before kissing her soundly. Callie felt herself respond to the kiss, despite the high she was still coming down from.
Arizona hummed in satisfaction and whispered, "You are insanely hot, Calliope."
Callie opened her eyes finally and smirked as she wrapped a hand around Arizona's head to pull her in for another kiss.
"Back at ya, Battleship," Callie muttered.
"Especially when you're loud," Arizona added with a giggle.
Callie stilled her movements and grabbed a pillow to cover her face in embarrassment. "Shutup..."
Arizona laughed and tossed the item aside once again and said, "I'm being serious. And it bodes well for my ego."
"Mhm. I'm sure it does," Callie said with a slight smile. "I can't exactly help it when you..." she trailed off and finished with a whisper, "do those wonders with your tongue."
Arizona giggled into another kiss and muttered, "Well, now I'm full."
"Really?" Callie questioned lightly, "Because I am starving."
Arizona chuckled as Callie captured Arizona's lips with her own and started to kiss her way down Arizona's body.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the time. "Fuck!" she shouted suddenly stopping her movements.
"Well, not really, but close enough," Arizona said looking down at Callie.
Callie chuckled and made her way back up so that she was hovering over Arizona. "I have work," she whispered sadly," and I forgot. Because the only thing I've been thinking about is you."
"That's okay," Arizona said with a smile and wiping hair out of her face.
"No, it's not. I'd rather spend as long as possible worshiping you," Callie said scanning Arizona's face.
Arizona bit her lip slightly and whispered, "We've got plenty of time for that."
Callie smiled brightly, then suddenly rolled off Arizona saying, "Okay. I'm going to clean all the sex off of me." She got up and sauntered to the bathroom and turned on the shower.
Arizona watched Callie leave and pouted a little, not satisfied with this end to their morning.
Callie peaked around the corner a moment later with a smirk and asked, "Well? Don't you want to come?"
Arizona slowly smiled and shook her head slightly at Callie's double meaning. She threw the covers off and ran to Callie as fast as humanly possible. Both laughed at Arizona's quick entrance and how their bodies slammed together in sudden contact. They giggled into a kiss as Arizona pushed them into the shower.
Arizona squealed slightly and released her hold on Callie as she felt the cold water slam onto her head.
Callie laughed and said, "You didn't give it time to heat up!" as she shivered slightly, feeling the cold water surround them both.
"Doesn't matter," Arizona muttered reclaiming Callie's lips with her own and pushing her into the cold tile.
Callie groaned at the feeling of Arizona's slick body pressed firmly against her own then suddenly flipped them around so that she was in control.
Arizona squirmed under Callie's hold as she attempted to grasp anywhere she could find, needing to feel more of Callie.
"Patience," Callie whispered biting down on Arizona's bottom lip and dragging it through her teeth slowly. "Let. me. taste. you," she muttered in between pecks as she slowly moved her hands all over Arizona's body.
"Then hurry up, Calliope," Arizona moaned as she struggled to move her hands from Callie's hold.
Callie chuckled and muttered, "Someone's bossy."
Arizona simply growled in response, needing Callie to finish what she started in the bed.
"Easy, Battleship," Callie muttered, tortuously moving her way down Arizona's body.
"Calliope, if you don't do something then I'm going to-ohhhhhhh!" Arizona was cut off as Callie suddenly bent down and immediately attached her lips to Arizona's, wrapping Arizona's legs around her head and gripping her thighs.
Arizona's eyes rolled to the back of her head as she struggled to find a grip on anything to hold herself up. She tangled her hands in Callie's wet hair and cried out as she felt her orgasm building quickly. She felt her knees go weak as she lost herself in Callie. Callie crawled back up and held Arizona against her, her legs securely wrapped around Callie's waist. Callie held Arizona's limp body, simply enjoying the feeling of Arizona coming on her and watching Arizona's response. Her one arm held Arizona, securely wrapped around her back and the one hand holding her head, the other arm wrapped around Arizona's legs to keep the contact as close as possible. The echo of Arizona's scream created by the tile surrounded them.
Arizona slowly breathed and opened her eyes allowing herself a moment to regain strength before releasing her legs from Callie's hips and simply pulled Callie's body close against hers in an intimate hug.
"That was new," Callie muttered kissing the crown of Arizona's head who laughed in response and clutched Callie tighter.
"We should probably actually get you cleaned up," Arizona said releasing her head from Callie's shoulder to look her in the eyes.
"But being dirty with you is so much more fun," Callie commented with a smile and slight bite of her lip.
"I'll get you nice and dirty again after work," Arizona rasped out with a smile.
Again, Callie couldn't contain the smile as she walked down the halls at the hospital.
She stood at the counter, not paying attention to anything around her, simply basking in the memory of Arizona. The smile on her face when Callie told her something she loved, the look Arizona gave her when she told Callie she loved her, the faint scent of Arizona she could still smell if she tried hard enough, the look on her face as Callie rode her to her peak...all of the images flowed through Callie's mind as a memory and she missed Arizona already. She had a constant need to be around the blonde, which was a feeling she was gradually being accustomed to. She'd never been so dependent on another person before, and she found herself wondering what she ever did without the blonde.
"Someone's happy," Addison said startling Callie out of her thoughts.
"Jesus, Addy!" Callie said jumping slightly.
"I waved from like a mile away," Addison said as way of explanation, "You are off in Barbie land or whatever."
Callie just smirked.
Addison studied her for a moment, looking at the smile on Callie's face and her body language. "Oh my god! You had sex!" Addison said, all too loudly.
"Addy!" Callie said in a harsh, hushed tone.
"Well, you did didn't you?" Addison said excitedly, "I was wondering where you two went off to last night! Or more accurately, got off-"
"Yes, Addy, okay, we did, happy?" Callie said just trying to shut the girl up.
"Well, why didn't you tell me?" Addison said lightly nudging Callie.
"When would I have done that? After sex last night, or from the shower this morning?" Callie asked in disbelief, not realizing the information she was giving away.
"Oh my gosh! It's about freakin' time!" Addison said clapping a little, "Well, how was it?"
Callie shook her head, blushing slightly with a smile. "I don't want to talk about this with you. It's between Arizona and I."
"That good huh?" Addison questioned knowingly.
Callie returned to her charts, not giving into Addison.
"Okay, fine...just blink once if it was bad and twice if it was good."
Callie laughed slightly, blinked once, then twice, then repeatedly batted her eyelashes as fast as possible.
Addison squealed in delight at the meaning.
"Okay?" Callie said giving Addison a glare, but there was a twinkle in her eye, "Satisfied?"
"You obviously are," Addison said suggestively.
Before Callie could even respond, Arizona showed up on the other side of her with a grin. "What's happening over here?"
Callie jumped slightly before realizing it was Arizona and a soft grin grazed her features. Arizona was leaning on the counter looking up at Callie, their arms lightly brushing.
"We were just talking about how satisfied Callie was last night," Addison stated.
"Addison!"
"And this morning," she added.
"Really, Addison? Was that necessary?" Callie asked in disbelief.
"Well, I already knew that," Arizona said grinning and raising her eyebrows in Callie's direction.
"You're just egging her on," Callie said shaking her head with a smile.
"Well, it's not a secret," Arizona said with a shrug, "you weren't the only one being satisfied."
Addison barked with laughter.
Both turned to look at her. "Don't you have somewhere to go," Callie asked pointedly.
"Nope. I'm rather enjoying this conversation," Addison said smirking.
"She can stay if she wants," Arizona said nonchalantly, "We're just going to be staring at each other the whole time anyways." Arizona put her head down on her hand and looked up at Callie lovingly and Callie played along by nuzzling their noses together.
"Ugh, okay, it just got gross," Addison said in disgust and walked away.
Callie laughed, "That's all it takes."
"Soo, what did you tell her?" Arizona drawled, pursing her lips.
Callie chuckled slightly. "I didn't tell her much of anything. She just knew by the look on my face."
Arizona grinned, dimples in full force and said, "Good, I'm not the only transparent one."
"Not at all."
"Why didn't you tell her? If I may ask," Arizona said, suddenly feeling nervous.
"Because it's between me and you," Callie said in an obvious tone, "And I like it that way."
"You're not ashamed?" Arizona felt silly even asking.
"No," Callie said chuckling in disbelief. She cupped Arizona's cheek and continued softly, "It's too special to share or describe to anyone else. It just, it means too much. You mean too much to me to just start talking about like you were a great lay."
Arizona raised one eyebrow questioningly, but she was smirking.
"I mean, you obviously were...ughh," Callie shook her head at her words, "You were but I don't want to brag about it because...it's not something I want anyone else to be apart of. Does that make sense?"
Arizona put a hand on Callie's arm and replied quietly, "Yes. I was just teasing you. But I appreciate the reassurance."
"Goof," Callie said shaking her head.
"You love it."
"I love you."
Arizona hummed as they leaned in for a soft kiss. Arizona sighed as she released and looked Callie up and down.
"Stop looking at me like that," Callie said smiling.
"Like what?"
"Like you've seen me naked."
"Oh, but I have," Arizona said lowering her voice.
"But everyone will know if you keep looking at me like that," Callie whispered leaning on the counter to Arizona's level.
"I'll stop looking at you like this if you stop," Arizona argued.
Callie winced, "Don't know if I can do that."
"Exactly," Arizona said chuckling, "Now that I've seen you naked, I'm always going to picture you that way. No question. I say you never wear clothes again."
Callie barked with laughter. "Even when I'm in surgery?" she challenged.
"I admit it's a little unorthodox..." Arizona said shrugging.
"Ya think?"
"But it could totally work. It would be awesome. As long as the patient was under and nobody else was around. Yep, I could definitely work with that..." Arizona said trailing off in thought.
"As long as you're naked in there with me," Callie challenged.
"Deal," Arizona whispered.
