A/N: I even don't know that how I have managed writing this chapter. I had only an hour break today and I just wrote this. I hope, you guys are not becoming too greedy. Updates might not be this frequent, always.

Helena: You know what? You are my 300th and 400th reviewer. How did you do that? But, great anyways! Thank you so much! I do understand what you say about Arizona. This is the reason that I have taken a turn in the story.

bluesky25: Arizona is never good at speaking, you know!

violaine2707: True… that Callie has started asking questions to herself. Falling in love is easy, the hardest part is to work it out and now Callie and Arizona are going to work it out.

Merak: Come on. Don't hate Zoie. I like her…

PalCalAri: Nope…I wouldn't. I never believe that a third person can create problem, if they are truly in love. Love is all about trust. We need to trust each other, blindly. Thank you so much!

Hansboudib: Longer chapter means in frequent update. Which one do you want? I know that my chapters are not long, mostly because I write them during my short breaks and write them at one go.

A REQUEST: I don't know if I'm giving any wrong message to the few readers that I need a girlfriend or something! Please do not send me messages like that. I respect all of you, but I'm not going to reply any of those messages asking to be something! I'm sorry.

"I believe, I believe there's love in you

Grid locked on the dusty avenues

Inside your heart, just afraid to go"

Chapter 31

"Will you come inside?" I ask Zoie gratefully for giving me a ride to home, as I didn't take my care while visiting Arizona.

"Are you asking me to go inside and…" Zoie wiggles her eye brows playfully, leaning a little on my passenger seat.

"Go home…" I reply playfully too.

"Nah! In that case, I would come inside." She says while parking her car in my driveway.

After Arizona went inside, I really didn't have enough courage to go after her. So, I decided to come back. Since I didn't have my car with me, Zoie drove me home.

"I'm hungry. Do you have anything to eat?" She asks me entering the house. "And, woman you have got a beautiful house."

"Thanks…you know perks of being a daughter of a millionaire."

"You still hate that, don't you?"

"A little…" I start bringing our frozen pizza from the refrigerator. "This is the only thing, I have right now. I don't cook that much."

"I remember how much you hated our cooking classes." She sits on my counter and starts looking around. She is such an easy going one. This is the first time that she is here at my house, but she is behaving so normal and like a friend. I even have started enjoying her playfulness.

"So, are you okay?"

"About Arizona?" I ask her turning to her.

"Yes!"

"I feel kind of jealous seeing the way, you care about her. She is special…"

"Yes, she is." I slowly reply turning towards the oven, putting my back towards her. Should I tell her about Arizona? I don't know if I should, because her dad is also competing in the cabinet nomination. But, somehow my hearts believe in her. But, suddenly I feel that she is standing just behind of me. I freeze at my place, I can feel the increasing sexual tension between us. I don't know why I'm feeling like this. Maybe, because I was never wanted like this before. "Zoie," I whisper.

"Do you think that I can be a special too?" Zoie asks me leaning a little on me. She is still not touching me, but the space between us is filled with heavy air. I know that I should not turn right now.

"Zoie, please?" I again whisper.

She suddenly puts a small kiss on my covered shoulder and back off. Once I regain myself to turn towards her, I see her again sitting on the counter top dangling both her legs. She smiles warmly when our eyes meet. "Why did you leave the school suddenly? Not saying anything to me?" She asks moe casually, not blaming me.

"Hmm… dad just wanted me to go to a new school and I just went." I sigh a little.

"But, you never picked up any of my calls… I thought you liked me." Zoie again smiles a little. This is a rare quality in her that her voice gives me a sense of security.

"I just didn't know if I like you that way."

"Now?"

"Zoie…" I take few steps towards her to reach to her. I take both her hands in my palms. "I'm in love with somebody else. We cannot do this."

Zoie keeps looking at our coiled hands. "I know you are engaged. But, where is your engagement ring?... but okay… ring is not that important." I know that she is talking about Gorge, but maybe I can live with this little lie right now.

"So, can we be friends?" I ask her carefully. On that, Zoie smiles in such a way that my heart melts in that.

"No, Callie, we cannot be friends… but, I'm here however way you want me." She shakes her head side to side. "This is insane. I don't fall for anybody. People fall for me…I'm badass, you know...and I'm not the one who waits in the queue." Then she winks at me, making the air light between us. "But can we eat now… serious talks always make me hungrier."

As we start eating, suddenly I realize that Arizona might not have eaten anything. I know her. She always has been very careless about her health. Moreover, I'm sure about tonight that she would go to bed empty stomach.

"Zoie?"

"Ummm…" Her mouth is full of pizza.

"Will you take few slices of Pizza for Arizona? She hasn't eaten anything for sure." I say in pleading tone.

"Okay…but I'll eat them, if she refuses to eat." Then she resumes her eating. Zoie seems to be a fresh air in my life who can laugh at every situation. I hope, staying with Zoie would teach Arizona too, to loosen up a little.

Since morning, I have been sneaking around to see Arizona, as she will not receive the calls. But, we are in two different departments. But, I know that she has some foundational course with my department in the first term and today is the first day. She must come for them. But, I haven't caught her glimpse yet. During lunch time, someone knocks at my door. Tiredly, I ask to come in. I really do not want to talk to anybody right now. "Would you like to come after an hour or so? This is lunch hour," I say not looking up.

"Okay!" The person says.

O Lord, that is Arizona. "Stop, I didn't know it was you." I quickly round up the table and go near to her. I kind of fasten myself not to jump on her to take her in my arms.

"I was looking for you whole morning." I try to understand her mood, if she is angry or upset. I'm still trying to figure out why she is here. So far, I know, it's my turn to run after her.

"Thanks for those pizzas." She says softly, not making eye contacts.

"Thanks to Zoie that she took them…"

"Yes, she is great, isn't she?" Arizona asks casually.

"Yes, she is. I'm happy to meet her. You'll enjoy her company…she is a wonderful woman." I say enthusiastically wishing that Arizona does not mind last night's little display of affection. A part of mine wants her to mind. If someone else would have done that to Arizona, I would have been very upset. But, she behaves very normal. Why is she always so cold? "Arizona, come…sit … we can talk…I have nothing to do next one hour." I want nothing more right now, to explain her my reason for that recommendation and make some small talks with her. So, I go to the door to hang on the 'lunch hour' sign in front of my door. Then I turn to her, but Arizona seems to be very disordered. She stands in front of the door shuffling her legs, not showing any movement of taking the seat with me.

"Okay…how was the first class?"

"Good…I guess, I need to go." She quickly twirls.

"Now?" I feel little dejected. Not able to touching her would be so painful, I never have realized. While looking at her, I have been thinking how to kiss her, just a little peck maybe.

Not replying she takes a step towards the door. Hopelessly, I try to follow her to the door. But, instead of opening the door, she locks the door and instantly turns on her heels, pulling me in a searing kiss, grabbing my shoulders. Before, I even could reciprocate, she twists me, pinning me right on the door, digging her finger nails on my neck, pulling me more into her. The kiss is searing and breath taking. This is not a soft kiss, but breath taking. The kiss says a story of craving and longing. Out of reflex, I close my eyes. Whatever, I say, whatever I do, Arizona would always be my home- she gives me a kind of comfort, security and safety.

When she pulls out a little, I somehow look at her eyes. They are so wild and rough today. This is maybe the first time, I see a little bit of burning passion in her blue eyes, which are usually so cold. "Arizona… we can't…" I mutter breathlessly, trying to regain the control. "Come to my house in the evening."

"I want you, right now, right here." Arizona stares at my eyes, like something has taken over her.

"I could not sleep last night." She murmurs and presses her body more on me, seeking access to my neck. There is not an inch distance between us- I truly do not know where her body starts and mine ends. I can sense how my body has started craving for that ancient taste rain and earth.

"Can we talk?" I swallow hard.

She even does not reply. She already has started rolling my skirts up to my thighs. "Please, Zona…not here." I say her controlling all my burning desire. This is how I have always wanted her- taking me, ravaging me wildly, showing the animal like passions. But, I certainly cannot let it happen in my office, on campus. Her hands touch my bare thighs. "Can you stop me now?" Arizona hisses, inaudibly.

"I cannot, you know that." I whisper on her lips looking at those eyes, which are full of hunger, desire and lust.

Arizona, not caring me, kneels in front of me throwing her backpack somewhere, and in a swift motion, she rolls down my panties. I close my eyes. There is no going back now. And, I don't have enough nerve to stop her. When she starts ravaging me, all I want is to submit myself into her, pulling her head closer to my core. I never could have resisted her- maybe in this life, I would never be able to resist her. I let her do whatever, she wants to, much of my pleasure too. right now, only we are here. There is no office, no campus, no other silly promises, no anger- there are only two of us- tasting each other.

There should be one person on this earth, with whom, we would not use our logics, with whom, we can go irrationals… it's scary, but worthy to do. And I know that I would do it again and again!

A/N: Do you guys see, what I'm doing? Ha ha… few of my intelligent readers already have realized that…

Another Hindi song, I fell in love with... sharing for people who love music...

"Itni mohabbat karo na

Main doob na jaaun kahin

Waapas kinaare pe aana

Main bhool na jaaun kahin"

(Translation in English)

don't love me so much,
that I drown...
that I forget to come back
to the shores..
