Chapter 11 "Have you heard about Callie Torres?"
Arizona's POV
I'm pacing. Ive been pacing for….exactly 1 hour. I only pace when im really nervous about something. I used to smoke when I had mini freak outs but Callie caught me one time and I haven't since. Why is it taking her so long to call me? After seeing Callie "come out of the closet" on national television, I immediately tried to get a hold of her.
Im not sure how to even react to what happened. I know we were going to tell everyone next week, I just thought we would do it together. I can't even imagine what is going on in Callie's head right now. Im sure she is freaking out. Oh god, what if she gets so freaked out she doesn't want to be with me anymore. This could all be way too much for her. It won't be a shock to anyone on my part, but Callie is going to be big news.
Now im really starting to panic, I look out of my trailer window and see the whole freakin cast surrounding Callie's trailer. They are like vultures; wait why are they by her trailer? Then it hits me. She's here. Im not sure if I want to go out there or not. I mean she didn't return any of my calls or respond to any of my texts. Maybe she just needs time to sort things out. No, no, she doesn't get time to make excuses for leaving me.
I fly out of my trailer intent on marching into Callie's trailer and showing her why she cant end this. I love her more than anything, and I know I couldn't handle it if she left me. I know its only been a few months but she is my world. We just recently started staying with each other almost every night and its been magical. Waking up to her is what I want to do for the rest of my life.
I get to Callie's trailer and stop. I see everyone gawking at her window. I am just about to give everyone a piece of my mind, for behaving like children, when Miranda Bailey comes over to me. Bailey is like the mother hen of this crazy group, she always has some type of advice to give.
"It's about time you got out here, someone has to go in there." With those words, it finally dawns on me what everyone is doing. They aren't being vultures, they actually really care about Callie. Im sure no one knows what to say, I remember Callie telling me a story about Derek having a rough time a few years back. Bailey sent a few of them to "the woods" to try and help. I think Callie said she just got really drunk and sat with him. But the point is she went, she was there for him, and they are here for her too.
"Um, why don't you go in there?" I know it should be me, she is my girlfriend, but only Teddy and Mark know that. I see them turn and they both shoot me a death glare. "Nuh uh, I don't know nothin about that." I see that everyone is looking at me now like I should be the one to go in there.
I throw my hands up and walk past everyone towards the trailer door. Before I go in I turn to look at everyone. "Okay, go away the freakin Lesbian Whisperer is here." I hear a collective sigh and everyone makes their exits.
I knock lightly on the door, when no answer comes I just pull the door open and go in. All of the lights are off and I don't see Callie in the front part of the trailer. I walk past the make up section and into the back of the trailer, which is pretty much the bedroom. My nerves are getting the best of me and I turn to leave when I hear Callie's voice from behind the bedroom door. "Come in Arizona."
I open the door and see Callie sitting with her head in her hands. This is not good. "Hey" Smooth Arizona, smooth. When Callie raises her head I can immediately tell she's been crying. "Callie, don't…this isn't bad." I know what's coming, im trying to brace myself, but I know there's no bracing yourself for the love of your life to break up with you. "Arizona, im so so sorry." Callie has the saddest look on her face I have ever seen, it's breaking my heart.
"Sorry? You're breaking up with me aren't you? I knew it; I don't know how you could do this to me, to us, Callie we are all that matters. Not what the media thinks or our friends, or even our family. I love you and you love me, screw everyone else." I know I just went on a rant but im not giving up without a fight. Im so busy pacing and yelling at her that i didn't even notice her get up, I stop pacing when I feel her strong arms pull me into a bone crushing hug.
I feel my body instantly relax and mold into hers. We really are perfect together. "Arizona, im not sorry for us. I love you, more than anything." I pull back to look at her, im a little confused, but entirely relieved. Now I feel bad for jumping to conclusions, and yelling at her. "Then why are you apologizing to me?"
Callie looks at the floor. "I just feel like I ruined it, I didn't want it to come out that way. I don't know what I thought was going to happen, I mean I know I wasn't going to do a press conference and announce it to the world, but I wanted to do it with you. The way it just happened makes it seem like im ashamed of you, and im not at all…."
She finally looks up into my eyes and I see all the love and admiration this beautiful woman has for me, I cant help the huge smile spreading across my face. "…I want everyone to know, and see that im in love with the most amazing, kind, beautiful inside and out, human being I have ever met. I love you, and I want to live with you one day, and then make you my wife, and then have a crap load of babies with you, and yes you can have freakin chickens in our back yard, I want to share my life with you."
I cant help the tears that are rolling down my cheeks. No one has ever said anything that beautiful to me in my life. I don't have any words that could top that so I just grab her and crash my lips to hers. It's a kiss full of passion and love. I tangle my fingers in her hair and pull her body hard into mine. There's no fight for dominance there is just a heated dance going on between our tongues. I pull back and look at her, I take in her slightly bruised lips, and her heaving chest, and I don't think I have ever seen anything so hot.
"Get your phone and purse, whatever you need." I am pulling her through the trailer as she is trying to grab her stuff. "Arizona, what…" I cut her off with another searing kiss and then I continue to pull her out of the trailer. "Shut up Calliope you have done enough talking today, now you going to be screaming." I turn and give her a sly smile, still tightly holding her hand as I pull her through the parking lot. I know everyone is looking at us but I don't care one bit.
As we round the corner I hear Bailey say to the group. "So that's the She?"
Mark smiles at Teddy. "Yep, that's the She."
Everyone turns to go back inside leaving Bailey standing in the parking. "Mmmm, See, Lesbian Whisperer."
*A/N: I hope everyone likes this chapter; I had fun writing this one. Next chapter is going to be a sexy one….( ;
