Chapter 5
While Arizona is in the washroom, I start checking my missed calls. Oh, Addison has called me for 15 times. She is going to kill me. So, I decide to call her before I become busy for the day, as I have afternoon flight to Toronto. I quickly move to the living area of the suit.
"Hi, Adi."
"Cal, where are you?" Addison starts yelling.
"Calm down! I'm in Calgary and you know it."
"Yes, but why didn't you call anyone? George is going crazy!" Addison informs me.
"I…" I start stammering. For last two days, I have been in a different world that I have not realized that I have a life where there is no Arizona.
"What is this, Callie?" Addison becomes conscious. She is my childhood friend; she knows every different tone I have.
"I mean…I was busy!"
"You met someone?" Addison asks confidently.
"I met a girl." I decide to put my arms down.
"A girl?"
"Yes."
"So?"
"So, nothing Adi!"
"Spill it Torres!"
"Adi, I even don't know what this is! I just feel like, I have never felt this strong connection to anybody, as if she is the one for whom I have been waiting always."
"How long do you know her?"
"I mean…I guess… three days." I somehow state knowing how weird it must have been sounding to Adi.
"Hah!"
"Adi, do you find this funny?" I ask slowly.
"I'm actually surprised, because I have never heard you saying this for anybody before. I have seen people falling for you here and there, but you never did!... except maybe George?"
"You know that I don't love George. I have him because of my dad."
"So…?"
"I don't know. She will go back to Italy after few days…"
"Does she feel the same for you?" Adi asks in concern.
"I don't know, Adi. She is the first ever who does not seem to be affected by me!"
"You are so cocky, aren't you?" Adi teases me.
"Ha, I'm…a little."
"Cal, tell me more about her."
But, then I hear the sound of the washroom door.
"Adi, I'll talk to you later." And I disconnect the phone.
As I too have to take the shower, I go in the closet room to get my clothes from the closet. I just stop at the door of the closet seeing Arizona drying up her long hair with a towel. She is still wet. I can how drops of water are dripping from her long hair on her bare shoulder. She is too busy with herself to notice me and I like a stalker stand at the doorstep savoring every bit of hers.
She looks so fresh at this moment that all I want is to taste her in my own way- exploring every spot of hers. She goes near to the dressing table and wears her rainbow bracelet. She always wears that. Then she goes to the closet and takes out a pair of black jeans and blue sweatshirt. Backing me she starts wearing her pants and then drops the bathrobe to start putting on bra. Now I have the full view of her back. I literally can feel that my breathing is caught in my lungs.
I see that she is unable to lock the back buckle of the bra. Almost unconsciously I walk towards her. Standing just at her back I take hold of the lock of the bra from her hands. Arizona jumps out at first but once she knows that it's me, she stands still there. I slowly buckle the hook taking all my time. I see Goosebumps on her skin. Arizona stands completely in numb- I can see wet hair is pressed all over her back. I know I can do anything right now and she will not resist. But, this is not what I want. I lean a little on her ear, "this could be dangerous, you know!" I just whisper. I notice how she is gripping the knob of the closet making her knuckles white out of pressure.
I take a step back. "I thought, you knew kung-fu." I laugh and still she does not reply. I head towards the washroom satisfactorily.
"You have not said what your last name is." I ask while sipping in my coffee in the breakfast room.
"You don't need that." Arizona answers in flat.
"I don't need that, but I want to know. And why you hide your last name, I don't get it." I'm feeling little mad at her now. There are times when I don't understand her.
"Callie, I'm a private person. I like to remain in mystery." Arizona says irritated. I can sense her annoyance, although she is trying her best to put on a straight face.
"Okay, when you will go for jobs, you tell them that you will not provide your name, as you are a very private person." I cannot help but to be tempered.
"You are so smart. Giving name to a job application and giving name to a total stranger are same to you." Arizona finishes with a sarcastic tone.
"Stranger?" We have been literally staying together for last two days and I have almost told everything about me, and now she says that I'm a stranger. I feel a strong twinge somewhere deep inside me.
"Of course you are!"
"Okay, if you think, I'm a stranger even now also, then I have nothing say. Thanks Arizona." I am in fact having a hard time in controlling my steaming eyes. I swallow hard in an attempt to stop my forming tears.
"Oh, come on Callie. This guilt-trip is not going to work on me. It never did."
I turn towards her to look at her if she is serious about what she is saying to me. I find her busy in playing her favorite game Fallout on her mobile. She does not bother to look at me even once. I silently look at her emotionless face for few moments before leaning back to my seat. How come she has so much power to hurt me like this? I never have been this dependent on anybody in my life. People know me as the most independent and careless girl. I never had those feminine weaknesses. I close my eyes to forget about the conversation.
Because of the little steamy interaction earlier in the hotel room, I have assumed that maybe she has started having little feelings for me. However, after this conversation, I don't think that she has anything for me. Maybe, I'm so wrong about all these- I'm so wrong about her feelings towards me. It will take a moment for her to throw me out of her life.
A/N: I'll upload the next chapter as soon as possible. Next chapter possibly will be the last chapter of the story.
