Chapter Eleven:
Callie woke up early the next morning when she heard Gertie stir. She carefully slid her body out from where Arizona was entangled and met Gertie in the kitchen. From the dark circles under Callie's eyes, Gertie surmised that perhaps some progress had been made. Callie had confirmed it by the look on her face "She's exhausted Gertie....let her sleep as long as she will. I need to go for a walk." The rain outside had subsided to a drizzle. There was many trees down and a lot of debris laying around. Callie needed the time to process all that had been discussed the previous night.
Gertie started milling around in the kitchen. Without power, breakfast would consist of cereal. There was no way to brew coffee which would be the biggest downfall of the morning...or so she thought. She was brought out of her peaceful morning by screams coming from the living room. Arizona was apparently in the middle of an intense nightmare and when Gertie got to her, she was drenched in sweat. She attempted to rouse her in order to bring her back to reality by tapping her lightly on the shoulder and calling her name. Arizona woke with a startle and immediately began to ramble incoherently. "I knew it.....I knew I should have never opened up to her...I'm so fucked up....how could I expect her to stick around?.....I...I..I can't blame her really......I mean who could love someone like me? I should have known though...... their all the same....no one really cares." The tears had begun to fall freely and continued hard.... so much so that she was finding it hard to catch her breath.
Gertie tried to intervene "Sweetheart....you don't understand.....Callie.....she......"
"No Aunt Gert....please don't make excuses......I know that it was too much.....too much for anyone to have to deal with." Arizona was in a panic....there wasn't a rational thought going through her brain. She started sobbing uncontrollably, the pain from the past threatening to swallow her whole. There was little Gertie could do to console her, she wouldn't listen to anything Gertie had to say.
"I can't believe, I thought this time might be different........but she's just the same........" Arizona was in a frenzy and nothing was making sense. Neither Gertie or Arizona heard Callie come back in "I guess there's still a lot you need to learn about me" she said as she approached Arizona. "When I said that I'm not going anywhere.....I meant it."
Arizona looked stunned....she couldn't believe that Callie was there. The tears were streaming down her face "Calliope?"
"Yes, baby....it's me... I'm here." Callie took Arizona in her arms and held her tightly, feeling the trembling from all of the fear that was locked inside. Arizona clung to her hard, like a child who was lost "Please don’t leave me." Callie held on tight and buried her head in Arizona's hair, drinking in the scent of her. "I told you that I'm not leaving.....baby, I'm here for you." Callie bent her head around and found Arizona's lips and kissed her tenderly. It was all she could do to keep from bursting into tears herself....such deep rooted pain evident on Arizona's face.
Gertie left the two younger women alone for a while and it wasn’t long until Callie was able to get Arizona calmed down. "I went out for a walk, and it looks like we’ve got some cleaning up to do. There’s a tree down behind my house, but it didn’t fall on anything important. Looks like the neighbors have a few down as well." Callie tried to get Arizona focused on something else for now...she appeared utterly spent.
"Okay....um....I need a shower first....and then we’ll go out and see what needs to be done. Did you see if the power company was out yet?" Arizona was starting to come around.
"No..I didn’t see them but.....you go ahead and shower....I’ll be right here." Callie gave Arizona a soft kiss on the lips just to reassure her. Arizona’s demeanor had changed so drastically....she seemed unsure of herself, when usually she was very confident.
**************
The shower did wonders for Arizona, it was as if it washed away some of her doubt and pain, so when she returned downstairs, she had her usual spark. Callie was a little concerned with the change thinking that maybe Arizona had put her mask back on. As much as it was hard to see her so broken....at least it was real. Callie would play it cool though and just give Arizona time.
Arizona grabbed a chain saw and a pair of chaps out of the garage "I’m going to go to the neighbors and see if John needs help, then I’ll come back and get the tree at your place...okay?"
"Sure....I’ll just start cleaning up the smaller limbs until you get back....unless you need me to go with you?" Callie offered.
"No...it’s okay....I’m fine" Arizona nodded and turned to leave.
As Arizona approached the neighbor’s yard she called out to them "John?......Madge?...it’s Arizona. Do you need any help?"
Madge came running around from the back of the house "Oh God...yes....please Arizona....It’s John. he was sawing a tree and didn’t realize that another was leaning on it. When he made the cut, the other tree fell and has pinned him underneath. Please can you help him......my phone is out and I haven’t been able to call 911."
Arizona followed Madge to where John lay. It was obvious that his femur was broken from the position it was in. "Okay John......listen to me. I’ve got a friend who is an Orthopedic surgeon and I’m going to go get her. She’s going to manage your leg while I cut the tree off. Don’t try to move....I’ll be right back." Arizona took off at a run to find Callie.
"Calliope!......come quick....I need your help......John has a tree pinning him to the ground and his femur is broken. If you have anything to use to splint....bring it." Arizona then ran into her own home and grabbed Gertie to help with Madge.
Callie never asked any questions, she just ran to get her bag.....not sure she had anything that would help, but she got it anyway. She met Arizona and Gertie at the neighbor’s. She knelt down beside John and tried to put him at ease. After finding his pulse, she determined that perhaps when the tree came off, he may bleed out, so they needed to make some preparations. Callie discussed what needed to be done with Arizona "I need to get a tourniquet around his thigh before you cut that tree off. I need something that can be pulled tight."
Arizona thought before speaking "John? Do you have any mule tape?" John nodded in response "In the garage." Arizona went and found what she needed and handed it to Callie, who looked at her confused.
"Will this hold? It looks pretty flimsy." she asked
"It’s extremely tough....It will hold and I got a 3/4 inch dowel as well." Callie looked impressed. "Okay....let’s do this"
Callie was able to slide the thin mule tape under John’s thigh and pulled it through. She wrapped it around the dowel and began to twist the material tight. She signaled to Arizona that she was ready and Arizona began cutting the tree off. When she was through, she needed help to move the pieces as gently as possible. Gertie came and took over for Callie, holding the tourniquet, after a little instruction and Callie went to help Arizona. They eased the pieces off as quickly and easily as they could. Once John was clear, Callie felt like he needed further medical attention quickly. "How are we going to get him to a hospital?" she asked worried that he may loose his leg.
"We can get him to the clinic here on the island, but I don’t know if they have power. If they do.....can you fix it?" Arizona was also concerned.
Callie just looked at her stunned "What?......I don’t have any supplies...an OR.....I mean....How?"
"There’s a limited amount of supplies at the clinic, usually for minor things but.......you can do this." Arizona’s brain was in overdrive.
She went to the other neighbor’s to find help to move John. She got her pick up truck and as a group they were able to get him loaded. They made their way to the clinic which was surprisingly open for emergencies and they had a back up generator. Once inside, the clinic staff......a nurse and a PA helped to get him inside. Callie asked for several things which were rounded up. The clinic was set up to do minor procedures but nothing of this magnitude. The PA put John under with Propofol which was all that they had. Callie was nervous and she needed help "Please go get Arizona....I need her in here."
Arizona cautiously stood in the doorway "Calliope?.....What do you need?"
"I need you Arizona.....I need your help in here. I need another set of hands in order to get this bleeder stopped." Callie looked desperate.
"I can’t Calliope....I haven’t done anything like that in three years......I can’t" Arizona was petrified.
Callie looked directly into Arizona’s eyes "Please......you’re a surgeon....it’s in your blood.....and I need you.....I need your help...please" Callie was pleading now.
Panic was written all over Arizona’s face, but she moved slowly into the room. She pulled her hair back, put a gown, mask and gloves on and stepped over to where Callie was working. "I can’t hold a scalpel."
"Okay.....okay that’s fine. Can you hold this clamp so that I can get this artery sutured?" Callie directed Arizona where to hold, which she did reluctantly. Her breathing was rapid and her pulse was pounding in her ears. Callie worked as quickly as she could and got John stabilized. When she felt like they were done, she excused Arizona who immediately left the room and rushed to the bathroom to vomit. The clinic staff had radioed for a helicopter with which to fly John to the mainland for further care. When Callie had made the transfer with the chopper medic, she went looking for Arizona. She finally found her outside sitting against the building.
"Hey there.....How are you doing?" Callie asked softly.
Arizona nodded her head and blew out a deep breath "I’m okay."
Callie sat down beside her and grabbed her hand "I think you were amazing in there. I know that it was extremely hard for you....but you did it....for me.....and that means so much."
A tear escaped Arizona’s eye "You....were...incredible. Of course I figured that you were super talented....but to see it first hand.....I was....blown away."
Callie laughed and then asked "Did you just say the word Super?" They both burst out laughing at that and Callie leaned over a placed a chaste kiss on Arizona’s cheek. "Come on.....let’s go home."
"Wait .....Calliope.....what I said earlier about not leaving me?......I would understand if you did." Arizona seemed to be having emotional swings
Callie let out a sigh "I’ll say it again.....and I’ll say it everyday if I have to....I’m not going anywhere.....in fact, I plan on spending as much time as I can getting to know you better." With that Callie cocked an eyebrow in a seductive manner to which Arizona just shook her head and grinned.
*************
Back at home, Callie watched as Arizona sawed up the tree behind her house. She thought that Arizona had to be the sexiest woman alive. They worked well together, cleaning up the limbs and stacking the logs. When they were finished, it was near dark. Power still had not been restored, so Gertie had a nice salad prepared for dinner. While they ate, the sparks began flying between the two younger women. Even though they had talked about taking things slowly, the sexual tension had been building from the moment they met......again. Gertie had noticed the display "If you two don’t cool it, this kitchen might just go up in flames."
Callie laughed "You’re right Miss Gertie. I’m filthy anyway from all the clean up, so I think I’m going to go home and shower. Thank you for the lovely salad." Callie got up from the table and gave Gertie a peck on the cheek then moved around and did the same to Arizona, but their eyes connected and so much was said without a word.
Arizona helped Gertie get the kitchen cleaned up "I’m going to grab a shower as well." She tried to play it cool but Gertie was no fool. She knew exactly what was going on. When Arizona returned downstairs, she assumed Gertie was in her room and she quietly stepped out on the porch.
"I’m locking this door at ten....so if you’re not back here.....you might as well stay" Gertie said to a surprised Arizona.
Arizona glanced back at her aunt, winked and grinned "You can lock it now if you want" and she walked next door.
*************
Arizona was only able to get one knock in before Callie had the door open. As she stepped inside, Callie closed the door and pushed Arizona up against it "What took you so long" she grinned before capturing Arizona's lips in a searing kiss.
Arizona grabbed Callie's arms and stiffened a little. She's used to being the one in control. She pushed Callie backwards just slightly in order to gain the advantage and the spun them around. Once Callie's back was against the wall, Arizona leaned in again and continued to explore the Latina's mouth. Tongues darted and rolled against each other, teeth grabbed gently and lips sucked on each other. Things heated up rather quickly and Callie's hands had found their way to Arizona's ass, pulling their bodies close. One of Arizona's hands landed on the back of Callie's neck holding them together and the other was busy trailing down Callie's chest. When she got to a breast, she cupped her hand around it noting first that Callie wasn't wearing a bra and then the feel of her nipple coming erect under her touch. "God, you feel amazing" she said between kisses.
Arizona's words lit a fire between Callie's thighs, she hadn't remembered being that turned on so quickly in.....forever. "Mmmm Arizona......I want you......like really want you, but not like this......come with me." Callie was breathless as she led Arizona upstairs to her room. There she had lit candles since the power was still out. Arizona got a little nervous again. She hadn’t experienced romance in forever and it made her uneasy, but Callie took her in her arms and continued kissing. The frenzied start was tempered and their kisses were slower and more deliberate. Arizona eased her hands beneath the hem of Callie’s shirt and felt the instant reaction her touch had elicited. Callie moaned at the delicious contact which spurred Arizona forward lifting Callie’s shirt off.
Arizona audibly gasped at the sight of the ample breasts in front of her. Callie’s smooth caramel skin was enticing and drew Arizona’s lips in. She started at Callie’s neck and placed wet, open mouthed kisses down her chest until she nabbed a nipple between her teeth. Callie’s breath hitched in her throat at the sensation and she eagerly wanted Arizona’s clothes off. The shirt came off easily but when Callie attempted to remove her bra, Arizona nudged her back towards the bed. Callie didn’t pick up on any tension at that point. Arizona slid her hands under Callie’s waistband and slowly lowered her shorts to the floor, pleased by the fact that Callie wasn’t wearing underwear either. Apparently, she was ready for tonight.
Callie was suddenly a little bashful as Arizona stepped back to drink in the sight of her. "Um.....do you like what you see?"
Arizona smiled at the sweetness of her tone "You’re gorgeous, Calliope." Callie sat on the edge of the bed and her head was at the level of Arizona’s stomach. She pulled Arizona closer and wrapped her arms around her tightly. Callie kissed a loving trail from Arizona’s navel to the waistband of her shorts. The feel of Callie’s loving touch was almost too much to bear. Arizona resisted....she was programmed to be unworthy of that love. Callie went to pull the shorts down and Arizona’s hands met her’s causing her to stop. "Are you okay?.....Do you want me to stop?" Callie asked clearly confused.
"No sweetheart....I don’t want to stop" and Arizona leaned forward kissing Callie hard while removing her own shorts. Callie’s hands once again found Arizona’s backside and she slid her fingers beneath the material of her panties wanting desperately to feel her skin. Callie’s mouth went back to Arizona’s waist as she nipped little bites around to the side. Arizona had tangled her hands deep in Callie’s dark locks and was trying desperately to push her fear down. She wanted this...she wanted it worse than anything.
As Callie continued Arizona reached behind herself and unlatched her bra, letting the lace fall off to one side. Callie peered up from where she was and marveled at the beauty before her. Without speaking Callie stood and pressed their bodies together, mouths searching for the other, both of them allowing desire to sound in their throats. Arizona eased Callie back onto the bed and followed her until she was positioned on top. They kissed like this for several minutes as it seemed their bodies had already achieved a rhythm. Callie deftly entwined their legs so that she could flip Arizona over, but when she did so, she noted a look of terror on Arizona’s face. "It’s okay baby.......please.....let me love you. I want you.....I want to feel you, to taste you. Your so fucking beautiful.....please." Callie spoke slowly and softly to hopefully calm the storm present in Arizona’s eyes.
Arizona took in a deep breath and just nodded, unable to make her voice create sound. Callie smiled and kissed her again softly at first and then with more fervor as their arousal for one another grew. Arizona’s hips lifted in an unconscious need for more contact. Callie moved her way slowly down Arizona’s body and then swiftly pulled her panties down and off....almost afraid of being stopped again. She kissed the tender skin to the side of the blondes soft curls and made her way further down. The scent of her lover was intoxicating and she couldn’t wait to taste. Callie eased Arizona’s thighs apart and lightly traced her tongue over the slick, wet folds. She was delightfully surprised at how wet she was and groaned out her pleasure "Mmmmm, so sweet." as she plunged her tongue deeper.
Callie had no idea what real effect she was having on Arizona. It had been over three years since anyone had done this for her and she was struggling to stay present and then almost as if on cue, Callie reached her hand up and found Arizona’s who gripped her back as if clinging to a life line. Callie’s other hand found Arizona’s opening and she eased two finger inside of her, relishing the feel. Her mouth continued to tease Arizona’s clit, sucking the swollen nub and rubbing circles around it with her tongue. The fingers inside started a rhythm that began slowly but quickly increased in speed and intensity and Arizona’s hips bucked hard against Callie’s mouth. "Oh fuck...Calliope......yes." Losing all control, Arizona was forced to just feel every electrifying sensation that pulsed through her. In an explosion of orgasmic ecstasy, Arizona’s thighs tightened around Callie’s head, her abdomen jerked wildly and the sound that escaped her throat was a mix of a scream and a sob. Tears had in fact slipped from her eyes and when Callie noticed she was crying, she quickly made her way up and wrapped Arizona in a warm embrace.
After a few minutes, her tears subsided and she was able to speak "Calliope, that was incredible." When Arizona kissed Callie’s lips, she tasted herself there and remembered a time long ago when that was a huge turn on. She smiled when she saw the confused look on Callie’s face. "You’re so beautiful" she said as she lovingly stroked the worry lines along Callie’s brow. "Don’t look so concerned.....it’s okay.....we’re okay.......it’s just been a long time.....for me."
Understanding dawned on Callie’s face and she kissed the remnants of Arizona’s tears away "How could anyone deny you?......How could anyone resist you? Callie was shocked.
"None of that matters now." Arizona began kissing Callie again with more intention in preparation for round two.
