It's been a week since our dance party and Arizona and I have been getting along really well. I decide I can't wait any longer I have to put my plan in action. To do that I will need two people, Arizona's mom and Kepner. I know Barbara will do anything to help me but Kepner I am not to sure of. She is Arizona's friend and is very protective of her.
It's Friday afternoon and I'm walking down the hall when I spot April. "Kepner I need your help." I say as I approach her.
"Sure Dr. Torres, what do you need?" She asks.
"Follow me." I say as I head to the nearest on call room not wanting the whole hospital knowing my business.
"Uh , Callie what's going on?" She asks as I usher her into the room.
"Look I don't know what Arizona has told you about us since the accident but I want to try to get back together and I need your help." I tell her.
"Um... She hasn't said much." She says not looking me in the eye.
"April it's fine I'm not asking you to betray her confidence ok. Just confirm if I stand a chance or would I be wasting my time."
"Of course you stand a chance but as her friend I have to ask are you sure this is what you want. I won't let you hurt her again." She says.
"I'm positive ok, I never wanted anything more. So will you help me?" I ask.
"What do you need me to do?" April asks.
I tell her what I want and she agrees to help. So I call Barbara and get her on board to.
As I'm leaving the on call room I say, "April ...thanks for being such a good friend to her."
"Good luck , Callie."
It's Saturday night and I head to Joe's. I asked April to invite Arizona out tonight telling her she needed to talk about Jackson. Arizona thinks they are suppose to meet here at 9:30. I had her make it later since I knew Arizona would want to call Sofia for bedtime. Barbara is watching Sofia for me.
I was out on the dance floor when I noticed Arizona walk into the bar. I watch to see where she goes and if she is alone. I see her place her stuff on the bar and order a glass of wine. She says something to Joe and he nods then she heads to the ladies room. I take this as my chance so I follow her.
When I open the door I see her standing at the sink fixing her makeup and I can't help but be reminded of the first time I saw her. So I go with it.
"Peds right, I've seen you around, I'm Callie Torres, ortho."
"Callie what are you doing?"
I take a deep breath "just go with it Arizona please."
"Callie we can't go back." She says sadly.
"I'm not asking you to go back I'm asking you to go forward with me. We aren't the same people we were when you kissed me that night, we aren't the same people that got divorced either. But maybe these new people that we both have become actually fit better than those old versions of us ever did.
"What if they don't ...are you willing to risk how far we've come for a chance?" She asks.
"Yes, I think your worth it. I think we are worth it. Question is do you?" I say.
"Callie what makes you so sure this is what you want? That I'm what you want." She says.
"Arizona these last few weeks I realized how much I missed our family. Missed you, missed us." I say hoping she hears me.
"Maybe you miss having a family" she goes to say but I cut her off.
"No I miss you not what a family represents but you. I miss it all with you." I say as I step forward and kiss her. I kiss her like I've never kissed her before. I want her to not only hear my words but feel them in this kiss.
When we finally come up for air she says" so you miss me enough." Repeating the same thing she asked me early on in our break up.
"I missed you more than enough." I say as I kiss her again."Come home with me."
"Callie ..."
"Please, just to sleep nothing else, I just miss waking up with you." I plead.
"I miss that too but I don't think I can sleep in that bed knowing you've been there with other people." She says.
"I haven't, you were the last person I slept with in that bed." I tell her.
"You and Michelle never..." She says almost in a whisper.
"No, never, you were the last person I've been with. I just could never bring myself to cross the line. It never felt right, I know why now. I guess subconsciously I knew it was always you but my conscious self had to catch up." I tell her. "So are you willing to take the chance?"
She looks into my eyes for any doubt in what I'm telling her and finds none so she finally says "yes, let's take the chance but I can't go home with you I'm supposed to be meeting April."
"Yeah, about that I kind of had her make that up to get you here." I say smiling at her.
The end.
