Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
I wake up as I hear someone talking beside me, although in a hush voice.
"I don't know… if this is a good idea, Neesha." Arizona says in low voice. "She is here…stop it…Yes, we had… I wouldn't tell you…Neesha, that is between us, you know!" I smile sleepily, as I realize maybe Neesah has asked about sex. I roll on her side. Seeing me waking up, she smiles, "did I wake you up?"
I shake my head and roll for one more time so that I head is settled in her lap. She welcomes me smiling and keeps talking while one of hands playing with my hair. I close my eyes in bliss. Last time, she did this when we went to see 1000 islands four years back and warned me how it was going to be a onetime service. Maybe, now I can have this service rest of my life.
"Okay, Neesah, I will call you later." Arizona drops the call. "Sorry, you go back to sleep. It's still quite early."
"So, you are not leaving today?" I suddenly ask, of course, I cannot let the opportunity to go away not teasing her.
"I wanted to, but somebody kept begging me whole last night." She teases me back.
"Night is gone. Now that we have sex, you are allowed to leave."
Arizona punches me on my bare back, "I don't do one night stands." I hear her laughing.
"So, how many nights do you do?" I ask rolling back on my back and meeting her smiling gaze. "Why are you fully dressed?" I ask suddenly noticing that she is wearing hoodie. She grins, "I was talking to Neesha and was thinking to go out so that I don't wake you up, but then didn't go."
"How is she?"
"She is good…" Arizona starts caressing my cheeks. I move a little closer to her and wrap around her stomach.
"I love you, Arizona." I mumble content. I don't remember if I was this satisfied ever in my life. The emptiness, which I had suddenly feels like going away. A comfort is there! Arizona is like rain drops in the seasons of draught. "You taste like rain," I add. I place a loud kiss on her clothed stomach. Then, I feel her leaning on me, as her long hairs cover my side face and she whispers on my ear, "can we do that again…?" I can sense the shyness in her voice. Arizona will always be Arizona. After the last night also, she is asking me in this way. Probably, this awkwardness is what I like about her. I guess, she is going to kill me with her awkwardness.
"Doing what?" I play along.
"I mean…"
"Kids of today…so horny all the time," I tease her still closing my eyes.
"Kids follow the adults, you know!" Arizona whispers on my ears again, "open your eyes."
"No."
"Why?" She gently puts a kiss on my ear.
"I don't want this to end ever. What if I open my eyes and you are not there."
"You are so melodramatic, aren't you?" She pokes me in my stomach.
"Yes, I'm and get used to it… and please you are not lesser than me. I remember last night." I say in flat. "And what else so you remember?" saying this she pushes me so that I lie flat on my back and pushed the sheet revealing my naked skin. Then, she straddles on me, pinning my both hands either side of me on the bed.
"You are really horny." My eyes are still closed.
"Of course,…I waited for 4 years." Then she starts kissing my neck. I feel she leaves my hands and her hand start sliding down my abdomen.
I catch her sliding hand and finally open my eyes to look at her, "did you want to do sex back then?"
She cups my face gently, "Prof. Torres, you were sleeping in the same bed with a horny teenager."
"But, I never realized."
"Well, I'm a good actress." She smiles the fullest. "Can I finish my business now?" She doesn't wait for my approval though. Suddenly, there is a change in her demeanor- bold and wild- demanding me to be submissive under her spell. There should be at least one person in your life, to whom we could be submissive- sometimes, submissions also have their own flavor- they taste wild.
After shower I start checking my emails wearing a robe. I feel a pair hands wrap around my waist.
"Hey, go for shower."
She holds me tightly hiding her face on my back, "do you think this would be a good idea to start living together right away?"
"what do mean?" I turn around in her arms.
"First of all, I'm not sure if I really want to start grad school and …"
"But, you are accepted." I cur her in.
"That's weird. Isn't it? I applied even if I had missed the deadline." Then she suddenly looks up suspiciously, "did you do anything?"
I'm totally expressionless now, because I did make an internal recommendation even if Arizona requested me not to do that. "NO…no…" I stammer.
"Calliope… you know that my pride is the only thing I have and which is mine. I don't want to feel like I got the admission just because of you."
"Your really have a high CGPA. There is no reason that you wouldn't." I try to assure her. I know that if she hadn't missed the deadline, she would not have needed any recommendation. But, she missed the deadline and I had to do that.
"But… I checked my email. I have received the funding too. that's strange." She presses me more.
"You deserve that…" I quickly change the topic, "and we will get back to our life, from today."
"That is the second thing. I don't know if we should start living together right away."
"What? Please don't tell me to stay separately now. I cannot stay away from you a single night." I say genuinely.
"Now who is horny?"
"You know what I mean." I hug her with all my feelings in my sleeves. I give myself a mental check to make sure that she never comes to know about my hand in her admission. "Now go for shower, then we will go for the breakfast together."
I come down to the dining hall for breakfast holding Arizona's hand in mine. While climbing down, I notice how all the eyes are on us, especially on our joined hands. Oh, that stupid George is also there. Did he even leave after last night? He is such a pet, of my dad. Anyways, he walks quickly towards me with fake smile, but I just stop him putting my free hand on his chest, "I'm not in mood all these, George."
"Sweetheart, I deserve at least a morning hug from my fiancé." He says shamelessly, even after my bare rejection.
"See, there is no ring…so there is no fiancé." I show him my bare finger.
"Where is the ring?" He asks concerned.
"I threw that somewhere in the guest room…who knows where is that?" I reply walking past him.
"That was an expensive ring, Callie." He yells from my back.
"Go, find it out by yourself and if you don't, please send a check to my dad." I sarcastically reply his yelling, looking at my dad, directly. My dad seems not to be influenced by all these.
"Dad, you need to know that I was never willing to be engaged with him. All I want is…"
"This little puppy in your life…" My dad sarcastically cuts me in putting his napkin down.
"Daddy, you are insulting her- the person, I'm going to spend my life with. You should know that I love her."
"I knew it. I'm not that old, as you think me of." He gives me a side smile. I fear his this demeanor the most, because usually when he is too calm, he has a bigger plan.
"Then also, you made me to go through that fiasco? I cannot believe…"
"And I also cannot believe that you are about to throw out everything over a girl?"
"Dad, we are leaving today. I don't want to make you uncomfortable because of me."
"Calliope, you cannot do this to me." Dad raises his voice a little. "You know that I have applied for the nomination of the senate position. And if you come out like this, it could affect my selection."
"Come on dad, we live in Canada and I wouldn't believe if you try to stop me because of this reason."
Suddenly my dad's voice becomes little softer, "Calliope, homophobic are everywhere. There might be people against this and all I'm asking you not to be open about your relationship just for next few months."
"Dad, I have lived my entire life on your terms for the sake of your career. Not anymore." I hold Arizona's hand again.
"Callie, we can do this." Arizona says softly.
"What?" I snap at her, "we are not going to do this. This would complicate things more than they are right now."
"Mr. Torres is asking to do this only for next few months."
"Excuse us for few minutes." I almost drag Arizona upstairs again. "What the hell was that?"
"He is just asking for few months." She replies not looking at me.
"He is planning something. I know him very well. He is trying to buy some time only."
"Maybe, I need to buy some time too." She says in such a low voice that I barely catch what she says.
"What?"
"I need little time too. This is all too much for me." She starts shaking her head.
"You need time?"
A/N: Do you think that they need time?
