A/N: A quick update, although little shorter…

"A lie is a lie…

A hidden truth is a lie…

One day there will be no lie…

Till then love me…in case one day you don't…"

Chapter 11

What Callie has said few minutes back, will always be in Arizona's head imprinted. While looking at the flowing water of shower through her body, Arizona feels how much happy those few words have made her. She smiles at herself at the shower, I like you too…Calliope… but I wouldn't tell you that. The heavy tone of Callie is still felt in the mist of this closed shower room.

While getting ready for the dinner, Arizona carefully sneaks at Callie, "I was thinking…Callie…"

"Please, now don't think anything… let me take rest." Callie mimics in a mocking tone.

"Will you go to the dinner with me?" Arizona asks as if nothing very important she is asking.

"What?" Callie gets up from the bed and sits straight. "Do you want me to go to that boring dinner?"

"Okay, don't go!" Arizona does a little pouting and concentrates in brushing her hair.

"Of course, I'll go." Callie runs towards her wardrove. "Do you think that I would look sexy wearing this?" Callie asks pointing at one of her dresses.

"We are going for a business meeting." Arizona rolls her eyes.

"But, that doesn't mean that I cannot look sexy." She brings out a black skirt with matching top.

"That skirt is too revealing." Arizona squeezes her eye brows together.

"I would look hot in this."

"Now you tell me how am I looking?"

"You always look so perfect- everything is perfect about you." Callie says in all sincerity.

"Callie, behave well. This is a very important meeting. I want you to be there, so that you know all these and can do it by yourself when I'll not be here." Arizona whispers in Callie's ear while entering the restaurant.

"Why wouldn't be you here?" Callie asks halting back.

"I mean, I might not be here always." Arizona says in a muffled voice.

"Nah! You always will be here…" Saying this Callie laces her fingers with Arizona's and starts walking towards the main banquet hall. Arizona quietly follows Callie looking at their laced hands together. They fit so nicely together. Arizona cannot understand how come suddenly all these seem so perfect, as if, she never had a life before this. Gradually, she is becoming so habituated to be with Callie, that she cannot remember that she has ever lived without Callie. Arizona starts feeling so guilty thinking about the contract. Would Callie feel the same after knowing the truth?

"Callie?" Arizona asks from behind. Callie looks back with questioning eyes.

Callie's eyes are a sea of floating emotions- those big eyes say everything- every tiny detail is evident in those twinkling eyes. Looking at them, how could Arizona tell that the foundation of their relationship is a lie? She cannot tell her that the outwardly perfect Arizona feels so imperfect inside. Arizona has never felt this helpless in her life before. Instead of telling the truth, she does what she is best at- pretending that everything is alright- pretending that everything will be alright. "Nothing Calliope."

"So, Ms. Arizona, we need time to consider your proposal to invest in your plan. Moreover, without talking to our president, I cannot make any decision." Yanik, the representative states.

"But… that would be too late." Carlos shakes in head.

"I know, but you know that Mr. Rogers cannot travel to the US at the moment. and he is very sensitive in making any foreign deal, specially considering how the US become little rigid in international business."

"We can do a Skype meeting." Arizona quickly suggests.

"He is someone from old school- only does face to face meetings." Carlos replies.

"But, he is travelling in Canada next week, right?" Callie asks. Both Carlos and Arizona look at her with surprising eyes. Seeing their reaction, Callie awkwardly smiles, "I know because today I had a chance to look at the proposal file."

"Yes, he is." Yanik replies.

"And Arizona too has business meeting in Canada. So, she can meet him there." Callie casually suggests looking at Arizona for approval. However, rather saying anything, Arizona only stares at her. "Arizona?" Carlos tries to get Arizona's attention.

"Is that possible?" Arizona finally asks Yanik. Yanik nods his head in positive, "this is a super idea."

Now Arizona turns to Callie, "impressive…Callie Torres!" She says in a teasing voice.

"Take me with you to Canada- I would bring out all my cards to impress you." Callie teases back.

"Okay." Arizona replies quietly looking at her plate.

"Do you really mean that?"

"Yes, I mean that. come to Canada with me- we finally will have our honeymoon time." Arizona replies still looking at her plate.

Callie notices Arizona's behavior, the sudden change in my demeanor, the use of her wording honeymoon, but does not bug her about that. instead, she too replies, "okay," quietly.

Sometimes, only silence is enough to express what you feel for the other person. And the person who can read your silence, is your soulmate.

A/N: Any idea about the next plot of the story?

I guess this should be my last story on fanfiction. Sometimes I feel, the fiction I write does not let me realize that there is a crazy real world outside too… where I belong to…
