Little story about my Erica inspiration... I had this best friend for years. We went to school together and even went to college and lived together. We had a lot of amazing times. But my family always thought she was shady.. They didn't care for her and I never understood why. We'll eventually I did... She became snarky and did such evil things to people. Would say and do things no 'best friend' should ever do to anyone. Finally enough was enough and I slowly stopped talking to her after she confronted my sister about me not talking to her why I wouldn't return calls and texts. Then she got pissed and tried to ruin my sisters wedding with Drama about me and such. Long story short... that was 5 years ago and she still tries to this day to call me none stop and text me! With all the things she has done over the past 5 years (and they were extremely terrible.. I can't believe she still has the guts to try and show face still to this day and act like nothing is wrong) Just had a call from her Saturday morning! She (I now refer to her as the bitch troll) is my inspiration for Erica... But I think she still comes on a little stronger than Erica did. Haha
Now... On with The next chapter
HAPPY ALL HALLOWS EVE EVERYONE
Chapter 41
Rolling over, Arizona peeked over at the clock on her nightstand. Seeing that it was 3:27 a.m. she buried her body back under the covers, groaning. She was exhausted, she had been up and down all night with a sick Charlie.
Earlier that evening, her and Callie took the dogs for a walk down to the park about a mile away from their house so they could run around and play for a while. When they returned home later that evening she had noticed Charlie scratching none stop. Checking him out, she saw he had some red welts forming around his face, legs and behind his ears. Having Callie check him out to confirmed what she was thinking, he and River must have gotten into some poison ivy. Checking River over, they couldn't tell that he had any places on him, most likely due to his thick coat. Giving both dogs a good bath, Arizona gently cleaned up Charlie's sores and applied calamine lotion to him hoping that would ease his pain.
Pushing herself up off the bed a few minutes later, Arizona stumbled to Charlie's bed at the foot of her bed to check on him. Looking around she saw the bed empty, hearing a light whimper in the bathroom she walked into the room and flipped the light on seeing Charlie laying on the cold tiled floor. Getting the lotion off the bathroom sink, she sat down next to her pup. "Still not feeling good are ya boy." Arizona said, petting the dogs head. "I know it hurts, but you have got to stop licking the lotion off buddy." she said, applying more lotion around his face, ears and legs. "You want to go potty? Huh?" She said standing from the floor and putting the lotion back into the medicine cabinet. "Come on." She said patting her leg. Walking back to the bed she went to wake Callie up, there was no way she was going out by herself this late at night with everything going on lately.
"Callie.." She said, shaking Callie on the hip. "Callie wake up."
"Hmm.." She hummed, rolling on her back and squinting her eyes open. Her hair was sprayed out on the pillow. "What?"
"Charlie needs to use the bathroom and I don't want to go outside by myself. I need you to come with me." Arizona said, putting her slippers and robe on.
"Arizonaaaa..." Callie moaned, covering her head up with her pillow.
"Callie come on, you promised."
"Babe, there are no clowns roaming the streets here late at night. That's in some crazy town in California, plus they're just having harmless fun." She said, rolling over and covering up.
"Calliope, you promised you'd come with me when I'm scared and I'm scared." She whined. Seeing Callie wasn't going to budge, "Fine, but WHEN I get chopped to pieces by some axe toting clown, it's on your shoulders, you hear me." She huffed.
"You got the dogs, they'll protect you." She mumbled, barely audible.
"Oh yeah, what are they going to do, plow them over and lick their face. They're such good guard dogs, lick or hump everyone they come in contact with. If I have to go outside by myself I swear I'm not putting out until the wedding, Calliope Torres." She threw over her shoulder while walking out of the room with the dogs.
"I'm coming..." Callie said, throwing the covers off her body.
Letting the dogs out in the back yard, Arizona stood at the edge of the patio where the tile met green dewy grass as the dogs sniffed around in the yard. "Hurry up boys, go potty," Arizona said, looking around. That gut feeling crept up inside her making her feel like she was being watched. Cursing Callie under her breath for making her watch the evening news report of the clowns showing up in a California town late at night. That was all she could think of while standing outside in the middle of the night waiting on the dogs. Turning around she glanced back to the French doors that led to their kitchen, seeing nothing out of the ordinary. Looking back out in the yard she saw the dogs heading out to the beach. "River, Charlie. Come back this way guys." She said, knowing they wouldn't listen. Sighing to herself, she started in the direction of the dogs still not being able to shake the feeling of eyes on her, she tightened the robe that draped over her body.
Hearing rustling in the trees on the left side of the property, Arizona's eyes quickly scanned the area. River, hearing the same noise, took off in the same direction barking erratically causing the blondes pulse to quicken. Looking back to Charlie standing at the edge of the beach, she saw him growling at a dark figure in the distance. Squinting her eyes, she began to walk closer to the shadow.
Chills crept down her body, "Whose there." She called, seeing the figure begin to walk closer to the dog finally reaching him. The shadow bent down and reached out towards her dog but jerked back quickly when Charlie snap at the hand. Pulling something from out behind his back, he quickly swiped at the dog causing him to fall limply to the ground. Gasping, "Charlie." She cried, running towards her dog before her mind registering the dark figure still standing there. Quickly stopping in her tracks, he pointed towards her as he started slowly walking towards her.
Backing up slowly, Arizona heard River yelp out in pain before quickly going silent. "Calliopeeeee." She screamed as loud as she could. "Callieeee.." She cried, hoping she would hear her screams through their opened bedroom window. "Callieeee." She yelled again knowing it would be useless because Callie was a hard sleeper.
As the figure came into the light she seen he was dressed in a half black, half red suit with his faced painted white and a huge red and white wig graced his head. "Fuck." She screamed, turning around and running back to the house as fast as her legs would carry her, "Callieeee." She screamed, reaching the French doors, she turned the knob. "Shit." She said, trying to turn the locker knob. "Shit.. Shit.." She said, banging heavily on the door. "Callieeee.. Help... Help me!" She said, bagging on the glass windows, seeing the sadistic looking clown coming closer through the reflection in the glass.
Frowning, Callie raised up in her bed, stretching her arms over her head, she got up and grabbed her rob off the back of the chair by the foot of the bed. Throwing it over her shoulders, Callie made her way downstairs to go outside with Arizona and the dogs. Blindly walking through the house, she squinted her eyes at the light, "Ugh..." Searching for the switch to turn the bright light off. The light from the patio casting off just enough light to make her way through the empty kitchen. Turning the knob to the door, Callie realized that Arizona must have locked herself out again. Unlocking the door she seen something smeared on the glass outside near the door handle. Turning on the kitchen light again, she tried to rub the blurriness out of her eyes. Looking at the door, she saw blood smeared on the glass. "Arizona?" Opening the door, she saw blood on the knob outside.
"Arizona, stop messing with me." She said, walking out onto the tiled patio. Thinking Arizona was just playing around because she refused to come out with her at first.
Seeing a red trail on the ground she knew Arizona wouldn't go through all that just to play a little joke on her, "Arizona?" She yelled out for her fiancé when she saw a streak of blood leading towards the pool. "Answer me Arizona, please baby." Callie said with panic setting in. She felt like her heart was going to beat out of her chest. 'What the hell happened out here' she thought to herself as silent tears streaming down her face. She cursed herself for not immediately going outside with Arizona when she asked her too and now because of her love of sleep, her life might have just turned upside down.
Her body began shaking uncontrollably as she stepped closer and closer towards the pool where the blood trail ended. The closer she crept, the murkier the water look. Seeing a furry tail, "Oh god..oh god." She cried falling to her knees. "River.." She mumbled through her tears. Hearing a loud crashing noise on the side of the house, she turned in that direction.
"Cal... Hel.." She heard faintly.
Bouncing up off her knees, "Arizona?" She said in terror, frantically looking around her. "Answer me..." She called, running in the direction of the crash. "Where are you baby?" She said, rounding the corner of the large house. "Arizona." She sighed, seeing the blonde drop to her knees on the ground.
"Ca..llie..." Arizona rasped.
Dashing towards her fiancé, she stopped in mid run when she seen a dark figure pop out from behind the other side of the house. Her eyes widening in fear, "No... NO... Get up Arizona you have to get up. Pleaseeee." She said, running towards her fiancé again. "Get up..." She cried as she saw a man in black stabbed her fiancé in the back twice before disappearing from her view, never taking her eyes of the blonde. "Noooo..." She cried, falling to her knees when she reached her fiancé. "Nooooo.. Arizona." She screamed her lungs off.
"Callie... Callie?" The brunette heard. "Calliope."
"Oooh god, Arizona.. Please don't dieeee. Noooo." She screamed, shooting up from the bed in a sheen of sweet and tears.
"Hey, hey..." Arizona said as Callie tried to fight her off at first.
Not knowing where she was at first, she looked around the room trying to catch her breath, "Ari..zonaaa." Callie cried, reaching out for her fiancé.
"Hey.. I'm here." Arizona said, scooting closer pulling Callie to her. "I'm here, baby." She said, wrapping her up in her arms trying to sooth her frazzled fiancé.
"Arizonaaa.." Callie cried into her fiancés chest, clinging onto her for dear life.
"I have you, baby." She said, rocking the crying brunette in her arms. "You're okay. You're safe." She said kissing her on the head.
"I'm sorry.. I'm sorry." She sobbed.
"You don't have anything to be sorry for sweetie." She said, brushing the tears off of her cheeks. "You're okay, you're okay baby." She said kissing her forehead.
"I'm sorry.. I'm sorry I didn't go outside with you when you asked me too, he killed you and River.. I'm so sorry."
"Hey.. hey.. look at me." Arizona said, cupping Callie's face. She had never seen Callie so upset before. "I'm here." Reaching for Callie's hand, placing it over her beating heart. "See.. You feel that? I'm here. I'm right here Calliope, it was just a dream baby."
"It was so real, Ari." She said, in between sobs. "I thought I lost you." She cried.
"Breath, Callie. It's okay, honey.. Please calm down. It was just a dream.. Just a dream." She said hugging her fiancé and rocking them back and forth steadily, trying to calm the brunette.
Holding on tight to Arizona, she finally got her breathing and heart rate under control. "I'm okay." She sighed in her fiancés neck. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you."
"I'm glad I could help." She said, kissing brown hair. "Want to talk about it?" She asked laying them down on the bed.
"I.." She said, closing her eyes tight trying to erase the visions in her head. "I remember you asking me to come outside with you while you take the dogs to use the bathroom."
"And you telling me to suck it up." Arizona asked. "Well not in those exact words.. But." She shrugged.
"I remember throwing the covers off myself, but then it was like I was you. And you were out letting the dogs run around and a clown appeared and attacked the dogs and then was after you. Then it was like I was me again, I remember getting out of bed and coming downstairs and seeing blood everywhere. River was dead in the pool and I heard you scream for me.. Then I saw you and he stabbed you several times.." She started crying again.
Realizing she may have been the cause of Callie's nightmare broke her heart, "Awe.. I'm sorry, Callie. I shouldn't have joked with you like that. I'm so sorry baby." She said pulling her to lay on her. "After the dogs used the bathroom we came back up and you had the covers thrown off you, but you must have fell back to sleep. I'm sorry I shouldn't have said anything about those clowns earlier."
Burning her head in Arizona's neck she just let her body finally relax, "It was so scary."
"I'm sorry, Calliope. It's my fault.. I shouldn't have teased you like that." She whispered, gently easing her hands inside Callie's T-shirt and lightly caressing her back.
"You going to be okay?" Arizona asked, after a few minutes of silence.
"Yeah." She breathed into her neck. "Will you just talk to me until I fall back to sleep?"
Knowing how Callie said her voice soothes her when she's upset, "Of course, love." She said kissing her forehead. "What do you want me to talk about?"
"Anything. Just take my mind off the dream."
"Well then." She said, continuing to caress Callie's back while she tried to go back to sleep as she began to tell one of her favorite stories. "This one time I went camping by myself. I remember being so excited to just get out by myself for a while, you know have some me time." She laughed. "And I remember pulling into the bottom, seeing someone else had the same idea I had. Of course I was grumbling to myself because I didn't want to be stuck near some man while I was camping alone. Who would have guessed that man turned out to be a gorgeous brunette. I remember unpacking and setting up camp, catching a few glances of this long brunette hair." She said, noticing Callie's breathing was evening out signaling she was back asleep. "My poor baby." Kissing Callie on the head. "Sleep tight my love." She say, lightly scratching Callie's back until she drifted back to sleep herself.
Waking up, Arizona felt like she was in a sauna, blowing dark hair out of her face she felt a heaviness on her chest. Trying to roll on her side, she remembered Callie fell asleep on top of her. Looking at the clock she seen that it was 8 a.m. They had been lying like this for three hours, Callie had locked herself around Arizona. Her arms were wrapped around her lover while her legs were laced tight with the blondes, like she was grounding herself to her. Trying to roll Callie off carefully, only cause her to tighten the hold she had on her.
"Callie." She said, trying to rouse the brunette. "Cal.." She sighed. Trying to roll them over she rocked their bodies back and forth, finally getting enough force she flipped them over on Callie's side of the bed. Trying to wiggle free, Callie finally dropped her arms free letting Arizona go. "Thank god.." She whispered, getting up off the bed and walking quickly into the bathroom. After using the bathroom she washed her face and brushed her teeth before deciding to go ahead and shower to wash all her and her lovers sweat off her hot body. Turning on the hot water and some low soft music like she always does when she showers, she stepped in the hot water.
Reaching to her left to feel her fiancé only to meet cool sheets, Callie sat up immediately in bed remembering her nightmare. "Arizona?" She yelled, looking around the room. Seeing the dogs on the floor by the bed, she felt a little calmer, her dream had really spooked her. Seeing a light coming from the halfway shot door, she stood from the bed and made her way into the bathroom. Seeing Arizona in the shower, she immediately open the shower door and climbed inside clinging to Arizona's back.
Feeling Callie wrap her arms around her bare chest, she sighed into the embrace. Feeling the emotions of her fiancé, she turned in her arms to hold her. "Calliope.." She breathed, seeing she was still dressed in her T-shirt and shorts. "Baby." She sighed holding her fiancé as she buried her head into her neck.
"I just.. I need to feel you."
"I'm here baby.. It was just a dream." Arizona whispered.
"I know, but it was just so real."
"I know sweetie.. I know, but I'm here baby." She said, kissing brown hair. She couldn't blame Callie for clinging to her, she knew she would be the same way if she had a dream of her dying in front of her. "I got you baby.. We're okay, Calliope.. You hear me. We're okay." She tried to reassure her fiancé.
"I just..." Callie said shaking her head. "I'm sorry, but I just don't want you out of my sight right now." Callie said to the blonde.
"I don't mind." She said hugging Callie. "I'm here and I'm not going anywhere baby. Today we're going to spend the whole day together. We are going to have fun, and decide on our wedding cake today.. that's exciting right?" She asked, trying her best to comfort the brunette.
"Right."
"I love you, Calliope. So much baby."
"I love you too." She mumbled in her neck. "I was so scared."
"I'm here. It was just a dream, Calliope. Just a dream sweetie."
"I know.. It was just so real."
"But it's not. You are okay... I'm okay.. We're okay.." She said, kissing Callie's forehead. "Lift your arms." She said shedding her of her shirt. "Let me bathe you." She said, ridding Callie of her garments.
"Cal?" Arizona said, walking into the living room of their home later that afternoon. Callie had been a little clingier than normal throughout the whole morning and Arizona felt like it was her fault.
"Yeah?" She said, from her place on the floor. Looking up from Charlie, who was laying on her lap as Arizona sauntered into the room.
"You ready baby? Mama will be here any minute to pick us up." She said, sitting on the edge of the coffee table in front of her fiancé. They had a scheduled appointment at the Seattle Bakery at 2 p.m. for a cake tasting for the wedding
"Yeah, I'm ready. I was just putting some more lotion on Charlie. It seems to be helping him." Callie softly smiled. "I'm so in the mood for a lot of sweets right now." She grinned.
"Me too, love." She said, leaning in for a tender kiss. Seeing a glare come through the window, she walked up to the glass and saw her mom pulling up in her SUV. "That's mama. I'm going to take the dogs out real quick. I'll be right back." She said as she started walking out of the room.
"Wait." Callie said standing up. "I want to come with you." Quickly hurrying to the blonde, Callie grabbed her hand and walked with her out to their back yard with the dogs. Arizona knew what that was all about, but instead of reassuring Callie everything was fine she just went along with her fiancé without saying a word, only holding onto her hand.
"That dream has really shook you up huh?" Arizona asked, walking back towards the house with Callie still clinging to her.
"I'm sorry. I don't mean to be all clingy and needy." Callie said, dropping their hands and sticking hers in her jeans pocket. "It's not healthy and it's just a stupid dream." She shook her head. "It was just so real though."
"No, it's not particularly healthy if it happens all the time, but you had a bad dream and it's okay to be clingy and needy sometimes Calliope." She said, wrapping her arm around her fiancé. "I love you, and anytime you need me.. know I'm always here for you baby." She said kissing her temple. "So, hug me back." She giggled, feeling Callie wrap her arms around her too. "I think we'd be clingy today anyway because we're in love and going to pick out the perfect cake for our wedding that's only a few short months away and I can't wait."
"Me neither." She smiled. "I love you, Arizona." Callie said, leaning her head on Arizona's shoulder as the made their way back through the house meeting Barbara near the front entrance.
"I hope you girls brought your sweet tooth."
"Well we have a major sweet tooth and empty bellies." Arizona said, bumping Callie on the hip. "I had to keep her away from the snacks all morning."
"I can't help it. Thinking about eating cake all morning..." She said as her mouth started watering. "Okay let's go before I drool all over myself." She said, quickly leading Arizona out of the house.
"I thought I was the cake lover in this relationship." Arizona laughed, being pulled to the waiting car by her fiancé.
The two lovers sat in the back seat together, as Barbara navigated her SUV through the busy streets of Seattle on Saturday afternoon. Looking back in her rearview mirror, Barbara noticed Callie sitting with her legs in Arizona's lap with her back resting on the side of the door with a death grip on Arizona's hand.
Noticing something was a little off with them, "Everything been going good between you girls?" She questioned.
"Yeah, mama. Why you ask?" Arizona said, from her place in the middle of the back seat. Looking at her mom in the eyes, she shook her head letting her mom know now was not the time.
"No reason." She shrugged.
"Everything's fine." Callie said, seeing Arizona shake her head at her mother. "I just had a bad dream and I just don't want Arizona out of my sight right now." She said, scooting closer to Arizona, laying her head on Arizona's shoulder.
"What about?"
Sighing, "It's my fault. I teased Calliope last night when I was going to let the dogs out to use the bathroom. We saw on the news last night that some clowns were showing up around a town in California late at night and people were freaked out by it, myself included. And I told her that if I got chopped up in pieces that it was her fault, because she wouldn't come outside with me." She said, looking at the Latina. "And she had a dream that a clown killed me and the dogs." She said, wrapping Callie up in a hug. "She's just still a little shook up that's all mama."
"It's not your fault Arizona. I just think deep down it kinda creeped me out too. People are crazy these days. But it's over and I'm done thinking about it." Callie said as Barbara pulled up to the bakery.
"Is Addison meeting us here?" Barbara asked, taking the subject off course as she put the SUV in park.
"Yep, she just texted me. She's running a little late, she got pulled into an attendings meeting." Callie said getting out of the vehicle along with Arizona.
"What are you doing?" Arizona asked, seeing Callie stick her phone in her bra.
"Ahh.. I'm standing here?"
"No." Arizona said, pulling Callie's phone out of her bra. "You know this, Callie Torres." She said, holding the phone out. "Is said to cause breast cancer. So please don't do that, love."
"Sorry." She shrugged. "I don't have any pockets in these pants and I don't want to hold it."
"I'll carry it." Arizona said slipping it in her back pocket. "Sorry..."
"It's okay.." Callie smiled before leaning on for a long soft kiss.
"Alright you two.. Lets not have a full blown makeout in public today please. Can you refrain for an hour?" Barbara said, rounding the SUV, causing the two lovers to giggle out.
Walking into the bakery, Callie and Barbara went straight towards the wedding cake book that was along the wall of the bakery as Arizona waited for someone to assist them.
"Can I help you, ma'am?" The cashier asked, walking around the counter.
"Yes, We had an appointment with Kate. Robbins - Torres." Arizona said.
"Oh yes. If you'll come this way. She's setting up the table for you. How many will be present?"
"Umm.. Mama is daddy coming?" Arizona turned around and asked, she knew that her dad didn't want any part in planning the wedding except one part. He insisted that Barbara and the girls needed his help with the cake tasting.
"Yes, he should be here any minute. He was stopping of at your aunt Sandra's on his way."
"Five." Arizona told the worker.
"Okay, come right this way." She said, leading them to a private room for the testing.
"Okay ladies. I see the rest of your party isn't here, do you want to wait or should we go ahead and get started?" Kate asked, sitting the utensils down on the table in front of them.
"We can go ahead, they should be in any time." Callie said, reaching for Arizona's hand under the table needing to feel the connection.
"Okay, I'll just explain everything to you and let you have at it." She said, sitting some cakes on the table. "I went through your likes and dislikes you emailed and came up with eight different cake choices, If I don't have any here you really love, let me know and I'll see what I can do or if you want to mix and match. Remember we're here to satisfy you, no request is too big or small. If you need anything, just let me know." She smiled before leaving them to it.
"Gosh, they all look so good. I don't know where to start. Daddy better hurry if he wants cake because I have a feeling I won't be able to stop myself once I get started." Arizona laughed just as Daniel and Addison walked through the door.
"You're lucky. Arizona was about to devour this entire spread here." Barbara laughed and Arizona and Callie chose a piece of the same cake to try.
Taking a bite of the first piece of cake, Arizona's eyes rolled in the back of her head. Moaning at the taste of the cake, "Oh god, this is so good."
"Agreed." Callie said licking all the icing off her fork. "What flavor is that. I taste a hint of banana but something else too."
Looking at the name card under the plate. "It's called, Banana Caramel. It's a banana cake with caramel cheesecake mousse." Arizona said, as the other three took a bite of the cake.
"Let's try this one." Arizona said, sliding over the next cake between her and Callie.
Tasting the cake, Callie made a weird face. "No." She cringed. "The cake part tastes like a sponge." She said, trying to clean her palate.
"Agreed." Arizona said, washing water around in her mouth trying to get rid of the taste.
"What was that?" Addison asked, reaching for the name card. "Pink champagne cake with raspberry cheesecake mousse... Pass." She said sliding the cake away from them.
"Hey, give that back. There is no such thing as a bad cake." Daniel said, taking the plate from Addison.
"Daddy that cake is terrible." Arizona laughed.
"Arizona Robbins, you watch your mouth missy." He said, causing Callie and Addison to laugh with her.
"So.. Um.." Addison said, looking at her two friends who sat in front of her. "As you know, the Chief called a meeting before I left." She said, tasting the Chocolate fudge cake filled with peanut butter moose along with everyone else. "Oh yes that is every woman's wet dream." She whispered to her friends, taking another bite of the cake.
"Mmm.. Oh Jesus...Agreed." Callie chimed in. "What do you think baby? A possibility?"
"This is a definite possibility." She said, reaching for the name card. "Write this one down mama. Chocolate dream... Addison?" She laughed. "Did you peek at the name?"
Laughing when Arizona said the name, "No, I honestly didn't. But maybe I picked the wrong career for myself maybe I should have been a cake namer thingy."
"I don't really think a cake namer thingy is an actual career but okay." Arizona laughed.
"So, tell me. Did anything interesting happen in your meeting?" Callie said, raising her eyebrow at her friend as they continued the cake tasting. It had been five days since her dinner with Erica. Unbeknownst to Arizona, she had received several texts from the blonde. She didn't know what she would have to do to get it through Erica's thick skull that they were not happening.
"Well, everyone's favorite and ever mysterious new Cardio God up and disappeared again after word got around the hospital what happened between you three earlier this week. Word is she's still in town, but I'm not so sure. Anyway the chief, he basically yelled and screamed and asked if he was raising a bunch of yard apes that didn't know how to keep their mouths shut and out of other people's business. Ya know, same shit different day type deal." She said tasting the next cake with everyone else.
"So she's gone?" Callie asked. "Again. No word no nothing.. Just disappeared.. Again?"
"Yep."
"Good. Because if I ever see her again, little ole Arizona will be next breakout star on Orange Is The New Black." She said, sitting back in her chair rubbing her full stomach.
"Babe, you do know that's just a name of a show and not a real prison?" Callie asked, resting her hand on the blondes thigh.
"Of course I know, I'm just saying I will be in jail for whipping that fugly bitches ass." She whispered so only Callie and Addison.
"Fugly? Really?" Callie laughed.
"Yes! Fugly. Have you seen her?"
"Wait.. What the hell is fugly?" Addison laughed.
"Fucking ugly!" Arizona said, forgetting to whisper.
"Arizona Michelle."
"Sorry daddy." She slumped in her seat, causing Callie, Barbara and Addison to laugh at the blonde again.
"Okay girls.. We need to make a decision." Barbara said, seeing their hour was almost up.
"Okay.. So we're having four layers right?" Arizona asked her fiancé.
"Yes. And we already agreed before hand that the Red Velvet would be the top layer right?" Callie asked.
"Right. I want a layer of the Chocolate Dream for sure." Arizona said. Laying the name card of the cake she wanted in front of her. "What about you. What's your must have?"
"Well.. can I have another layer of Red Velvet? The top layer won't be ate until our one year anniversary right? I can't wait that long to have some more." Callie said with pleading eyes.
"Calliope." Arizona laughed. "I know red velvet is your all time favorite. I'm totally okay with that." She said leaning over for a kiss.
"Thank you." Callie said, squeezing her leg and inching her hand closer to her center. "Okay we need one more." She winked. "What are you thinking?"
"Well I liked the dreamsicle but not that good and the lemon was good but again, not that good. What do you think?"
"I liked the Reese Cup cake and the Strawberry lime."
"Me too.. Let's try them again." Arizona grinned.
"How can you eat another bite. I'm so full.." Callie groaned.
"I am too, but it's cake. Tell her daddy, in this family we always make room for cake."
"She's right Cal. You're not a true Robbins if you can't finish your cake." Daniel said, eating on the left over cakes.
"Oh god.. I feel like I've gained twenty pounds already today. I'm going to have to start running before we go wedding dress shopping in a few weeks." Callie said rubbing her belly.
Watching Arizona try both cakes again, she just smiled watching her. It didn't matter what she did, Arizona could always brighten her day without even trying. "So, which one you like best?" Callie grinned.
"Which one you like best?" Arizona countered.
"I think I liked the Strawberry Lime cake best, the key lime mousse really gives it a zing that I really like." Callie said watching Arizona walk over to the door and ask for Kate to come back into the room.
"So have we made our decision?" Kate asked, walking back into her room with her note pad in hand.
"We have." Arizona said, wrapping her arm around Callie's back. "We want the squared four tiered wedding cake we talked about. Red Velvet as the top and bottom layer. The second layer we want the Chocolate Dream, and the third layer Strawberry Lime." She said, causing Callie to turn to her and smile before kissing her on the cheek.
"Any kind of designs or colors you want to incorporate?"
"We were thinking just a plain white cake and. Maybe somehow incorporate our colors into it?" Callie asked.
"What are your colors?" Kate asked.
"Teal and Pink." Addison said, pulling back out the color scheme the girls had picked out.
"Okay.. What kind of flowers are you having?"
"Well, we've not really decided that, but the Gerbera flowers have always kinda been our go to choice." Arizona said, "They are my favorite flower."
"Okay.. Give me just a second." Kate said, sketching something on her pad. "How about something like this?" She asked showing the two her design for the cake. "I thought maybe I can try to find some thin teal ribbon for the cake." She said pointing at the ribbon design on the cake. "And maybe some pink flowers to accent the white? What do you guys think?"
"I really like it." Callie said, looking to Arizona. "What do you think babe?"
"Yes. I think it's a go." She smiled.
"Okay, so let me make sure I have this right, you want Red Velvet for the top and bottom layers, Chocolate Dream for the second layer and Strawberry Lime for the third correct?"
"Yes."
"Okay, what day is the Wedding?"
"September 20th." Addison said, taking out her book of notes. She had been really taking this wedding planning serious for her friends and was getting things in order quickly for the girls.
"Time of the wedding?"
"It's at 6 in the evening." Addison said.
"Oh, so a sunset wedding?" Kate winked. "Those are the most beautiful." She said, writing all the details down. "I can have the cake delivered and sat up an hour before the wedding or do you have a different time in mind?"
"No, 5 is perfect." Addison said, writing down the details. "Here is the directions to the wedding. And my number is also at the bottom incase there is any questions.
"I'm beginning to think we didn't even need to be here, we should have just let Addie do all the work." Callie leaned in and whispered Arizona.
"I agree, she's doing a pretty fine job at it. Who knew wedding planning could be so easy with Red in charge." She giggled.
"Okay, well everything's all set and if I need anything I'll give you a call." Kate said standing up. "I'm honored that you picked our bakery." She said, shaking everyone's hand.
"Thank you for having us." Addison replied before leading the group out of the establishment.
"I'm going to go, I got a few patients I need to check in on." Addison said, before a round of goodbyes.
"I don't know about you all, but I sure could go for a burger." Daniel said rubbing his stomach.
"Oh, Daniel really." Barbara said, swatting at her husband."
A few feet away, Callie and Arizona were engrossed with one another on the street, "So, we don't have much more left to do, picking out our wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses is about all that's left. It's crazy..." Arizona said, with her arms wrapped around Callie's neck.
Hearing her phone beep in Arizona's back pocket signaling new incoming text, "You're not having second thought are you?" Callie teased, nestling her face into Arizona's.
"Never." She said kissing red lips. "You are the one, Calliope Torres." She said brushing her pink lips on red. "You're not having cold feet are you?"
"Nope. I can't wait to marry my best friend and eat Red Velvet cake." She laughed. "I love you Ari. Always and forever."
"Love you too, sweetie." Arizona purred, feeling Callie's phone vibrate again. Reaching in her back pocket, "Someone is determined to talk to you today." She laughed, handing Callie the phone.
Opening the texts, her face dropped at the messages. Rolling her eyes on frustration, Arizona took her phone. "No, Arizona." Callie said trying to get her phone back.
"What is this Callie?" She asked, looking up after reading the text messages not really believing what she had read. "Why the hell did Erica say she'll be waiting for you at Joes?"
