"I wanted you bad. I'm so through with that cause honestly you
turned out to be the best thing I never had. You turned out to be the
best thing I never had and I'm gon' always be the best thing you never
had. Oh yeah, I bet it sucks to be you right now"

"Erica?"
"What are you doing here?"
"I, uh…I needed to see you." The blonde shakily replied.
"Really, I kinda find that hard to believe, since not that long ago…you couldn't wait to get away from me." The brunette seethed at the memory.
"Callie…I.."
"No!" The brunette shouted. "You…you left. You. Left. Me..Why are you here?" She could feel the emotions welling up in her throat.
"I'm sorry! Baby I'm so sorry, I…I miss you…" The blonde cried stepping, "I miss you so much Cal" she whispered the Latina's name before pushing her way into the singer's house. "I want you back." She said before capturing Callie's lips in a firm, forceful kiss. The feelings a familiarity set in, and the Latina did nothing to stop the kiss. Feeling Erica's lips against hers felt was almost routine. Her eyes squeezed shut as she struggled with herself. Give into what she was used to? Or start fresh with someone new. She felt her former lover's tongue probing her lips asking for entrance. She felt her stomach turn at the act, immediately she pushed the blonde off of her.
"Fuck you!" She screamed as Erica's backside hit the ground do to the force of Callie's shove. "I loved you so much. I wanted to go against Lisa's judgment just to make you happy. I was going to do it! I was ready to shout to the world that I loved you, but you left me. You didn't even care enough to give me the time that I needed." She sobbed pacing back and forth unable to bring herself to make eye contact with the blonde.
"I made a mistake; people make mistakes all the time right?"
"Why is it that you want me now? It seemed like you had something better waiting for you when you left. Did you get out there and realize that no one could love you like I did? Or did you just think you could go fuck around with whoever you wanted to and just come back and I'd still be here waiting for you like a sad puppy?"
"I'm sorry. Please Callie we can fix this, I want to be with you again." The blond groveled at the Latina's feet.
"No, Fuck you Erica. You didn't even deny any of what I said…which leads me to believe that you did leave me for someone else." Callie shouted. She swallowed hard trying to rid herself of the knot of emotions forming at the back of her throat before continuing, "I don't want to fix this! I don't want to be with you anymore, you left. And I….I moved on." She smiled a sad, but hopeful smile as she thought of what she had with Arizona possibly developing into something more. "I want you to leave." The brunette said, walking towards the kitchen, turning away from the blonde. "You need to leave," she practically whispered, running shaky hands through her dark tresses.
"Cal…" Erica whimpered as she stumbled to a standing position.
"Get the hell out of my house Erica!" She said firmly as she turned to the blonde.
"Callie, please!" She cried.
"Leave!" The Latina shouted even louder, making direct eye contact with Erica. Her eyes said it all. The blonde could tell that she wasn't going to get through to her, at least not tonight. She wordlessly grabbed the keys that had fallen from her pocket during her fall and left without looking back. Callie heard the loud screeching of the car as it seemingly sped off. And all she could do was cry. She felt the urge to scrub the blonde's touch off of her skin, and scrape the taste of Erica's taste from her tongue. Callie made her way to her upstairs bathroom and started to do just that. She stripped down, grabbing her toothbrush, toothpaste, and headed to the shower to wash away the stress of tonight.
Fifteen minutes later she entered her room slipping on a thin pair of sleep shorts and a tank top and crawled into bed. Staring up at the ceiling she'd heard another persistent knock at the door. And she wanted to scream, she couldn't believe that she had come back. She yanked the sheets back from her body and stalked down the stairs approaching the front door yet again. She jerked the handle of the door with such force it caused the visitor to jump back in fear.
"What…" She paused as she realized it wasn't Erica. "Arizona," she sighed the blonde's name contently. "What…what are you doing here?" She smiled sadly, opening the door wide enough for the blonde to enter her house.
"Well I got home, and then I had this craving for some chocolate, so I went to the corner store on my block…and I realized, I'd left my wallet here. And so I thought, well I will just get it in the morning but then I thought…I really wanted to see you, and thennn I thought, leaving my wallet would be a pretty damn good reason to pop up at this hour." The blonde rushed out as she saw the singer's sad smile fade as the corners of her mouth turned downward and her lips began to quiver. "Oh no, I'm sorry, I guess it wasn't a good idea, I'm sorry I…"
Callie pulled Arizona forward in a swift motion, her hands cupping the sides of the blonds face.
"Minty," the blonde joked when Callie pulled back, hoping to lighten Callie's mood even just a little. The comment earned the blonde the smallest of smiles.
"Arizona..." The Latina rasped, "Can you stay with me tonight, I know you wanted to take things slow and that's ok, but I just want you here, with me tonight. I just want you to hold me…please."
"Of course," the blonde smiled sadly before pulling the brunette into her arms, deep down she wanted to ask Callie what had happened since she'd left, but she knew that now was not the time. Callie just needed someone to be there for her.
Arizona pulled back, running her hands soothingly through the Latina's hair she planted a kiss on her cheek and took her by the hand, leading them to Callie's bedroom.
Once Callie settled into bed Arizona slipped her jeans off and slid into bed behind the singer slinging her arm around her waist. Callie turned to face her, snuggling her face into the crook of Arizona's neck laying her arm over the blonde's waist. Arizona ran her fingers through Callie's hair soothingly until sleep caught up with the brunette and eventually Arizona succumbed to sleep as well.

Callie's Pov
The sound piercing sound of my cell ringing rudely awoke me from a not so peaceful rest. I reached over the warm sleeping body next to me and grabbed my phone off the desk a swiftly and as quietly as possible in an attempt to not wake her up.
"What do you want Lisa?" I whispered in to the phone
"Uhm did you forget about the CD signing today at Hard Rock Cafe I told you to be in my office at nine am sharp this morning. Its nine forty-five, where the hell are you? You have an hour to get your ass over here. Hurry the hell up Torres!" She shouted in my ear and the loud sound of the click followed signifying that she'd just hung up on me. Flopping back against my pillow I look to my left where Arizona is still fast asleep next to me. And I can't help the smile that graces my face when I realize that she's got one of her legs thrown over my own. I tuck a lock of her blonde hair behind her ear, not that it does anything at all to make the sleep tousled hair look any more presentable but it came naturally to me. Her nose crinkled as she started to stir.
"Arizona?" I said softly trying to coax her from sleep, but she didn't move once. "Arizona..." I said a little louder, trailing my hand underneath the covers, I shake her gently. "Arizona, honey, we have to get up." Still nothing. "Arizona!" I pull the covers back from our bodies hoping that the action will startle her into waking up, but the sight I'm greeted with turns my brain into putty.
Sexy, lacy red thongs against her creamy white skin, her ass is nothing short of magnificent. It takes all of me not to grab it. My mouth waters at the thought of doing so. "Arizona" I shake her, my voice almost quivering as a lusty haze works its way into my mind.
"Huh? I'm up! Calliope what's wrong? Are you ok?" she shoots up, facing me, concern evident in her eyes. And it makes me inwardly swoon to know that she cares so much about me already. I sigh, knowing that sooner or later I will have to tell her about last night, but I plan to put it off for now.
"I'm fine," I smile at the flustered woman in front of me. "It's just that we have to get up, well technically, I have to get up. And I know I kept you up last night so if you'd like to stay here and get more rest then that would be fine too."
"No, what time is it?" Arizona laid back down next to me after realizing that I was ok.
"Nine fifty," I say checking the time on my cell.
"Oh no, your CD signing! We have to hurry, I have to get home and change, shit!" she jumped out of bed.
"Relax, I know a shortcut, we have like an hour and you can wear something of mine." I got out of bed and joined the blonde on her side.
"Oh good," her shoulders relaxed as she felt the tension leave her body.
"You know, if you really want to save time then…we should just jump in the shower together. We'd also be conserving water." I wrap my arms around her mid section.
"Calliope…we both know that if we showered together we would do anything but save time." She smirked, bringing her lips to mine.
"Fine!" I pretended to pout.
"So I'm going to use the guest bathroom, and you will use yours, alone." She laughed before heading to the hallway.
"Arizona," I called out to her.
"Yea?" she poked her head back into my room.
"Tonight, after I've been to the signing, and my interview and all that….Will you have dinner with me?" I rushed out, feeling butterflies attack my insides.
"Like a date?" She asked, her dimples popping, as the corners of her mouth turned upwards.
"Like a date." I offered a slight smile as I nodded in confirmation.
"I can't wait," she smiled brilliantly before continuing to make her way to the guest bathroom. Neither can I.
