"I've been roaming around, I was looking down at all I see, Painted faces fill the places I can't reach

{Thursday, Five p.m, After the concert}
"You were amazing Calliope!" I say walking over to her when she reenters her dressing room.
"Really?" She smiles. It was like she didn't already know how talented she actually is.
"Really...I absolutely love your voice you're so talented. Its like I can actually feel every ounce of emotion that you put into your songs."
"Thank you." She replies softly, keeping my gaze just a little longer than appropriate."Uhm...so you and I are going to meet up with my best friend Addison for dinner and a little sightseeing if that's ok with you that is." She interrupts the almost awkward silence between us.
"Sure, I'm looking forward to meeting your friend."
"Ok great let's get going, I'll ask my driver to stop by her hotel on the way." She replies, before slipping out of her stage clothes back into her street clothes. I immediately turn away from the sight. She practically just started to strip right in front of me. She must be really comfortable with her body, but with a body like that, who could blame her.
`*' ~`*' ~`*' ~`*' ~`*' ~'*
"So how did you meet her?" I ask Calliope as we re-situate ourselves in the back seat after Addison leaves the exits the car yet again, claiming to have forgotten her favorite lip balm this time, before, it was her wallet.
"Oh we go way back we went to high school together. we used to date but that ended in friendship and so here we are now. I am so happy to have her in my life." Callie smiled. Woah! Wait...did she just say 'we used to date'?
"You...you two dated...you and...Addison? Your...friend...who's...a woman?" I say dumbfounded. I see a brief flash of realization and then nothing but terror in her eyes.
"Uh...yeah...we used...to uhm ..date..." she sighs, "look Arizona I really feel like I can trust you with this so...I ...I...uhm...do you think we can talk about this back when we get back to the beach house? I promise I will explain everything. Just do me a favor and promise me you won't tell anyone what I said just a few seconds ago about Addison and I. And promise you won't tell anyone about what I'll talk to you about tonight. Ok?"
"I promise" I say just above a whisper. 'Does this mean she's bisexual? is that what her sister meant about being Calliope's type? Wait does that mean I'm Calliope's type! I knew it!' I smile thinking that I could be the type of woman that she goes for. 'But why would she go for me, I'm such a dork and she's so...bad ass.' My thoughts consume me and the incident at the airport this morning had hit me. 'I just knew she was checking out that brunette bimbo at baggage claim. She wasn't even that cute.' I feel jealousy consuming me again. 'Why the hell does this feeling keep coming over me?'
`*' ~`*' ~`*' ~`*' ~`*' ~'*
The conversation between Calliope and I flows lightly, just as if nothing happened as we continue the rest of our day, stopping by this nice restaurant, I can't quite remember the name of and afterwards sight seeing. It was by far the most amazing scenery I've ever witnessed. And getting to know Addison, I could see why Callie dated her, she's so sweet and funny. I'm actually really looking forward to meeting all of Calliope's close friends tomorrow. 'If Addison's this colorful I can't imagine how the others will be' I smile to myself at the thought of whats to come. Addison invites us to out to the beach near her hotel before heading back to the beach house. She looks at me, silently asking if I want to go. I give her a small shake of the head signalling that I didn't. And she tells the group that we'll go tomorrow, claiming that she was pretty tired after doing the concert and that she was really looking forward to getting some sleep. Through out the day my mind kept straying to what happened with Josh but Calliope always managed to bring me back from my dark moments.
We finally make it back to the house just before night falls. As soon as we're inside Callie heads to her room to put away the things she'd brought from the stores and I do the same. The minute I step foot inside my room I feel a blast of cold air hit me. Apparently I'd left the window open while we were gone. While Trinidad isn't a cold place, being near the beach when its extremely windy out, will definitely put a chill on your bones. I hurry over to the window to try to stop the cold air from coming in. To no avail.
"Calliope!" I shout, still struggling to shut the window.
"Arizona what's.." she comes rushing in within seconds. She sees me struggling at the window and rushes to my side to assist me. "Oh god! Why is this so hard to close!" she shouts out into the raging winds. Eventually after a few more moments of struggling we manage to close the window. Feeling myself shivering violently, I curse that I have to sleep in this room tonight.
"Geez, you're freezing!" she says trailing her hands up and down my bare arms, causing me to shiver in a completely different way. "You can sleep with me tonight because I don't think there are any blankets in this house, and my room is warm...Is that ok with you?" I simply nod in response, quickly pulling out something, anything, to sleep in from my suitcase.
"Where's the shower?" I ask, my teeth chattering lightly, as we leave my freezing cold room, Calliope shuts the door behind us.
"Well its one here in the hall but I think you should take the one in my room its a lot warmer in there." she says, bringing her hands up to my arms and rubbing up and down them gently, trying to create warmth. I love when she touches me. Shit! what am I thinking?
"Thank you." I smile and I rush to the bathroom. Once in the shower I noticed the shampoo that Callie uses sitting on the edge of the tub. 'She always smells so damn good' I think to myself as I close my eyes and let out a moan as the warm water runs down my body.
"Uhm...Arizona?"
I jump at the sound of her voice, 'Shit she scared me!' "Uh yes Calliope?"
"I uh..uhm...my uhm...Shampoo is in there." she stutters out, I wonder why she sounds so uneasy...oh my god did she hear me moaning? Oh god, what's she going to think of me!
"Uh yea hold on." I say hesitantly as I grab the bottle of shampoo and pull the curtain back just enough to show my head, face and my left arm as I hand her the shampoo. "Here you go" I offer a soft smile. And she just stands there motionless, staring at me. "Calliope?"
"Huh? What? oh sorry. Thanks." she jumbles her words letting them out in one breath. 'That was odd.'
`*' ~`*' ~`*' ~`*' ~`*' ~'*
When I finally emerge from the bathroom, I find Calliope already sitting on her bed dressed in a dark grey tank and black boy shorts. I don't know why, but I can feel myself staring directly at her chest. 'She's not wearing a bra' I briefly continue to stare until she turns to face me.
"Do you have a side?" She asks calmly.
"Nope, I'm usually all over," I chuckle lightly as I take a seat on the side Calliope isn't occupying. "What about you?"
"I'm the same way." She smiles before getting up from the bed and pulling the covers back on her side and I do the same. We both settle into bed and Calliope reaches over to turn out the light. The two of us sit in silence momentarily before the question that's been eating away at me all day springs from my mouth.
"So you're bisexual then? Or was it a one time thing with Addison." I turn my body to face hers. I can barely see her face but the moon shines just enough light through the window for me to see her face fall a bit.
"Not exactly." she sighs.
"Does Mark know?" I ask.
"Yes he knows...but there's more to the story. You just can NOT tell anyone about this okay? This will effect my career if it gets out." she turns her body to face mine.
"My lips are sealed. Shoot."
"I'm not bisexual. It wasn't a one time thing with Addison, but she was my first girlfriend. I've never been with a man..."
"Really? No offense but Mark doesn't seem like the kind of guy who doesn't mind waiting until the girl is ready to have sex for the first time." I interrupt.
"Mark...he's my best friend. And that's...all he is. Nothing more nothing less. I'm a lesbian Arizona." She confesses and I feel my jaw drop and I stare at her heavily shadowed figured in a stupor.I'm really thankful the darkness will cover my silly looking expression. 'I can't believe she's a lesbian.' "Arizona, if this bothers you...I" she says worriedly. Most likely becoming startled by my silent response to her confession.
"Of course it doesn't bother me. Love is love, it doesn't see gender. As long as whoever she is makes you happy, I'm happy for you." I offer, raising my hand to gently caress her arm.
" I am so glad you feel that way, I was actually kind of worried about how you might feel about it."
"You don't ever have to worry about that, I'd always be willing to accept you as you are. So long as you aren't being mean to me that is." I smirk, but I'm guessing she can't really see.
"You're amazing Arizona." She yawns.
"Thank you," I smile snuggling in closer to my pillow. There's space that separates as but not much at all, which says a lot since we're sleeping in a king sized bed. "Lets get some rest. I have to be well rested for tomorrow, especially if your other friends are as energetic as Addison." I laugh sleepily.
"You're right," she giggles, "they're a handful. Goodnight Arizona."
"Goodnight Calliope.

The next day Callie had arranged for Arizona to meet the rest of her friends for lunch. Callie and Arizona were picked up by Callie's driver around eleven a.m. They picked up Addison and Deena on the way and were supposed to meet Gabriel and Sawyer at the restaurant. Over lunch Callie and her friends caught up and Arizona got to know everyone a little better. As they headed back out to the cars Callie had forgotten her purse so she'd turned back to go get it, Addison decided to tag along.
"Well she's definitely a keeper Callie." Addison said sweetly as they walked to the table.
"What?" Callie questioned, confusion painted on her expression.
"Arizona, She's a keeper. I think she's perfect for you. I really like her for you." Addison nudged her best friend.
"Addie...there's nothing going on between me and Arizona...she's just my personal assistant. I mean sure I've grown to really like her as a friend, but there's nothing more." Callie said calmly, grabbing her purse and turning to head back to the cars. Addison gave a knowing smirk to Callie's descending form. 'Nothing more my ass' she chuckled to herself before sprinting to catch up to Callie.
"Shit," Sawyer curses, sucking her teeth. And directing her anger to her husband Gabriel. "It won't start! I knew we shouldn't have taken the this piece of crap. Ya always givin' ya mother the good car, and she never go nowhere but down the road and back home." Sawyer yells, her thick Trinidadian accent surfacing in her voice.
"Its ok, you can just ride with us." Callie offers, trying to save Gabriel from another rant from his angry wife. Sawyer rolls her eyes at her husband and walks over to the other car with Gabriel not far behind her. He smiles a thankful smile at Callie in passing.
As they all reach the car, the driver realizes that there wouldn't be enough room for Gabriel and Sawyer. So he'd suggested that they lapped up until they were able to drop Sawyer and Gabriel back at their house. Addison suggested that Deena got in the front seat, she got in the middle, Sawyer on Gabriel's lap, and Arizona on Callie's. Arizona hesitated for a brief moment, but she agreed to sit on Callie's lap anyway. 'How bad could it be' she thought.
"Why do you all even travel in tiny cars?…You're all rich…or famous or both.…I'm sure you'd be way more comfy in a spacious limo…" Arizona asks as she felt the nerves setting in about having to sit on Callie's lap.
"It's better to travel in less fancy cars so that we can fit in and not draw attention." Deena replies, smiling at the blonde.
Sawyer and Gabriel got situated followed by Addison who slid in to the middle. And finally Callie sat down feeling anxious herself. She spread her legs slightly hoping that doing so would make Arizona more comfortable. The blonde slowly got into the car and situated herself on Callie's lap.
The whole ride Callie and Arizona had been the only two that were silent. At one point the driver hit a few craters in the groad, causing Arizona to almost slide off of Callie's lap. Callie, not realizing what she had been doing, grabbed Arizona's hips, pulling her back to make certain she didn't fall. The Latina sucked in a sharp breath when the action caused Arizona's backside to press against her center. Callie's reaction went unnoticed to everyone in the car. Everyone except for Arizona, who felt tingles up her spine the minute she felt the Latina's hands on her hips. Callie bit her lip to keep the groan in her throat from escaping. Finally realizing her hands were still on Arizona's hips she quickly removed them and cleared her throat out of nervous habit. The blonde instantly missed the contact.
The rest of the ride to the Gabriel's and Sawyer's house had been pretty quiet when they arrived at the house Gabriel and Sawyer said their goodbyes promising to see everyone later that week for dinner. Addison slid over to where Gabriel and Sawyer had been sitting and Arizona not noticing that Addison had made room for her, kept her position on Callie's lap.
"You like being on top of me, don't you?" Callie leaned in to whisper, causing the blonde to shiver as she felt Callie's breath tickling her ear.
"What." Arizona replied, her voice barely above a whisper.
"You must like sitting on my lap…seeing as Addison moved over like five minutes ago to make room for you, and yet you're still on top of me, not that I'm complaining." Callie smirked, as she whispered into Arizona's ear. 'Did I seriously just flirt with Arizona?' The Latina thought to herself.
Arizona hastily turned to look where Addison had been sitting, a perfectly vacant seat greeted her eyes she felt her cheeks heat up as she ungracefully shifted from Callie's lap to the seat. She turned her head to Callie, looking anywhere but her eyes.
"Sorry." She quickly turned the other way hoping that Callie didn't notice the blushing.
The ride to the Beach in the next city was relatively silent as all the girls just looked out of the windows of the car enjoying the beautiful scenery. The bumpy ride kept making Arizona lean into Callie. Each time she pulled herself away from the stunning brunette she never let her gaze meet the Latina's, keeping her eyes down for any and every apology she would offer for bumping into Callie.
The rest of the way was proven to be a long one seeing as everyone had fallen asleep. The driver laughed to himself thinking how no one ever stayed awake for the whole trip. "We're here," the driver spoke loud enough for everyone to hear. Callie's eyes fluttered open and immediately she felt pressure at her side and a numb, yet tingling sensation in her arm. She looked to her side to see a mess of blonde curls spread about her shoulder as Arizona's sleeping form cuddle up against her side. She smiled to herself looking down at the blonde, if it weren't for the fact that her arm was pretty much numb and that they had reached the beach, she would have let Arizona stay asleep.
"Arizona…" Callie called but the blonde didn't budge. "Arizona, wake up…we're here." She says as she brings her other arm around to gently shake her assistant.
Arizona stirs, tilting her head up toward Callie, still resting on her shoulder she opens her eyes and immediately they look with deep chocolate brown ones that almost take her breath away.
"Is everything ok?" Callie asked softly, concern in her voice.
"Yea" Arizona croaks still captivated by the brunettes eyes. Arizona's eyes trail down seeing that she was laying against Callie she abruptly yanked away. This was going to be a long day.

"You like being on top of me, don't you?" Callie leaned in to whisper, causing the blonde to shiver as she felt Callie's breath tickling her ear.
"What." Arizona replied, her voice barely above a whisper.
"You must like sitting on my lap…seeing as Addison moved over like five minutes ago to make room for you, and yet you're still on top of me, not that I'm complaining." Callie smirked, as she whispered into Arizona's ear. 'Did I seriously just flirt with Arizona?' The Latina thought to herself.
Arizona hastily turned to look where Addison had been sitting, a perfectly vacant seat greeted her eyes she felt her cheeks heat up as she ungracefully shifted from Callie's lap to the seat. She turned her head to Callie, looking anywhere but her eyes.
"Sorry." She quickly turned the other way hoping that Callie didn't notice the blushing.
The ride to the Beach in the next city was relatively silent as all the girls just looked out of the windows of the car enjoying the beautiful scenery. The bumpy ride kept making Arizona lean into Callie. Each time she pulled herself away from the stunning brunette she never let her gaze meet the Latina's, keeping her eyes down for any and every apology she would offer for bumping into Callie.
The rest of the way was proven to be a long one seeing as everyone had fallen asleep. The driver laughed to himself thinking how no one ever stayed awake for the whole trip. "We're here," the driver spoke loud enough for everyone to hear. Callie's eyes fluttered open and immediately she felt pressure at her side and a numb, yet tingling sensation in her arm. She looked to her side to see a mess of blonde curls spread about her shoulder as Arizona's sleeping form cuddle up against her side. She smiled to herself looking down at the blonde, if it weren't for the fact that her arm was pretty much numb and that they had reached the beach, she would have let Arizona stay asleep.
"Arizona…" Callie called but the blonde didn't budge. "Arizona, wake up…we're here." She says as she brings her other arm around to gently shake her assistant.
Arizona stirs, tilting her head up toward Callie, still resting on her shoulder she opens her eyes and immediately they look with deep chocolate brown ones that almost take her breath away.
"Is everything ok?" Callie asked softly, concern in her voice.
"Yea" Arizona croaks still captivated by the brunettes eyes. Arizona's eyes trail down seeing that she was laying against Callie she abruptly yanked away. This was going to be a long day.
