A/N: Well the majority were on Callie’s side. It was hard for me to write Arizona as the bad guy, since I’m more an Arizona fan than a Callie fan. But Arizona annoyed me after the airport scene, so this was my revenge ;) Enjoy. I am not quite sure how the whole private beach reservations via hotels work, but it worked like this the last time I was on vacation.
A/N 2: This chapter hasn’t that much interaction between the two, but I’m developing the story.
Callie walked down to the beach and saw people everywhere, couples everywhere. She almost felt sick, why does everybody get to be so fucking happy but me? She thought. As she was walking she decided to go to the private beach that she had rented. She already knew back in Seattle that she wouldn’t want to deal with all the shiny happy people on the beach. Her trust fund helped her with the arrangements.
When she came down to the beach she took he towel and laid down on it. As she took her sunscreen she thought of Arizona and how she’s always talking about the importance of sunscreen. Putting on her sunglasses she first glanced out at the ocean, it was perfectly still even though there was a warm breeze. The sky was so blue it almost melted with the clear water.
Whatever she did though, she couldn’t get the blonde out of her head. She wanted to hate her for what she did, that two faced bitch. However Callie couldn’t hate her, she loves her so incredibly much, but she knew that she had to make Arizona pine after her. Now it was her turn to fight for Callie.
She saw a little island in the ocean so she decided to go for a swim. It was only maybe a mile out she thought and she could easily swim over there. As she got in to the water she immediately felt free, just like in high school when she was on the swim team. She started to swim out to the ocean.
Meanwhile Arizona was lying on the bed at the hotel room trying to figure out what she could do now. She knew that she had to convince Callie that she loves her; at first she had regretted telling Callie about the girl on the plane. However later she knew that it was the right thing to do, you can’t build a relationship without honesty. It’s a paradox really, since now there maybe won’t be a relationship because she was honest.
She got up from the bed and went in to the bathroom to get dressed. She put on her turquoise bikini that she had bought the night before with white hibiscus flowers. Callie had picked it out for her, she smiled remembering Callie trying to hide the fact that she was drooling over Arizona when she tried it on.
Their problem wasn’t getting turned on, they already were. The problem was communication, which she has known even before the baby “issue”, but Arizona wanted to stay in the pink bubble. Now however the pink bubble was deflated, no not deflated it was blasted with a Russian nuclear bomb. The shiny pink bubble was maybe a bad idea she thought to herself.
“Okay I need a plan” She said to herself “and now I’m like the people on daytime shows having my own voiceover” She muttered. After thinking for a while she wrote a note as a beginning of the plan.
A pair of short jean shorts and flip-flops and she was ready to go to the beach. Callie had said to her where the beach was and they even had a miniature map, but of Callie brought it with her. Arizona walked down to the reception and asked for directions to the beach. At first the receptionist wasn’t pleased with the fact that she had to look it up in the computer. After that Arizona had to use her charm since Callie had told them not to give directions to anyone, especially not a curly blonde. Somehow she managed to get it and then she asked for arrangements for the night.
She had trouble finding the beach, but she didn’t want to ask for anymore directions. At last she found the beach and recognized Callie’s towel and beach bag, but Callie was nowhere to be seen. Arizona wasn’t sure what she was going to do so she left the note and put a rock on it so that it wouldn’t blow away. Then she walked over to a bar near the beach, she needed a drink. She could see the brunette’s things from the bar that was built like a pier and waited for Callie to show up.
Callie was a little tired when she got up from the water, she had swum two miles. The island was little and she had walked around taking in the surroundings. She could see how crowded the public beach was, two hot guys had even hit on her. They asked her out later and that she would bring a friend. However she didn’t feel like it was appropriate to go out with two strangers no matter how things were between her and Arizona.
She walked over to her things and took the towel to wipe herself. While she was taking the towel she saw a note, she looked around but couldn’t see anyone. When she picked it up she saw that it was Arizona’s handwriting. She smiled a little knowing that the blonde probably had to suck up a lot to get the directions to the beach. She then read the note.
Dear Calliope
Suddenly I’m not that good with words
all I know is that I love you more than
anything else in the world
I am begging you to give me
a chance to show you how much I love you
Yours forever
- Arizona
She didn’t know what to think. If she really loved her that much, how could she then have sex with some skank on the airplane only hours after they had broken up? How is she supposed to trust her again? Callie looked around again, but couldn’t see the blonde.
Arizona was sitting at the bar looking at Callie, she slumped back in her seat. She was wearing a dark purple bikini that showed of two of her strongest features, her ass and breasts. Arizona almost choked on her drink when Callie bent down. She saw the brunette reading the note and had a mental happy dance, she was almost certain that Callie would throw it. When she thought about it she knew that Callie was curious and wouldn’t be able not to read it.
She had a lot to do, so she decided to go. Arizona was not sure how much a euro was worth and she knew that she had probably left too much tip. She walked away, trying really hard staying away from Callie’s sight. They needed to be apart until tonight.
While Callie was looking around trying to catch the blonde she then saw her over leaving a bar. It was maybe 150 meters from her, but she could recognize both Arizona and her bikini from anywhere.
“What is she up to?” She said to herself.
The day passed quickly, both women had a million thoughts in their head. Arizona was busy arranging for the evening and Callie was trying to relax and not think about the blonde’s note.
The night arrived and Arizona took a last look in the mirror. She had a simple pink dress that accentuated her legs perfectly. Even through all the stress of the day she managed to get some tan. It covered up her pink burn. She had a pink rose in her hair, somehow she felt a bit corny, but she knew that Callie would like the rose. She glanced around the room a last time to see that everything was perfect before she went out on the balcony to wait for Callie.
When Callie walked into the room she almost thought that she was in the wrong room. It was filled with candles and flowers everywhere. The candles were leading out on the balcony; it almost looked like a landing strip with rose petals. When she walked out on the balcony she saw Arizona standing looking stunning. Callie was at a loss of words.
“Hi Calliope” Arizona said giving her a smile
Callie stood speechless, but somehow she managed to form words
“Hi” She said suspiciously
“Please sit down” Arizona said gesturing to the table that had pizza and two bottles of wine, one red and one white.
Callie frowned when she saw the pizza, in the middle of all the romantic stuff there was pizza? She was walking over to the table, but then realized what she was wearing.
“I’m sandy, I need to take a shower” Callie said
“You look amazing as always” Arizona said while she got a warning look from Callie. Maybe she was crossing a line when she said that, but it couldn't hurt to suck up right? She thought to herself
She sat down and a moment of silence passed before Arizona decided to speak up.
“So how was your day?” She asked and Callie was surprised, how could Arizona act like this? She thought, like nothing is wrong.
“Arizona…look this is nice, the whole romantic gesture, with the wine and the pizza and everything. However we have issues the size of the sun. If you think that this is going to make everything better then-“She said before she was cut off by Arizona.
“Callie” She said reaching out for the brunette’s hand, but Callie pulled away and Arizona pursed her lips before continuing. “I'm not...I know that this isn’t making everything better, but I’m trying here okay? I’m aware of everything and this isn’t everything. There is more, so just give me a chance and…and maybe you’ll see things differently” She said pleading to Callie with her eyes.
“Okay” Callie said quietly.
“Okay?” Arizona asked confused.
“Okay Arizona, but this is it. I’m not strong enough to handle anymore heartbreaks, so this is the only chance I’m giving you. I never thought you were a person that could hurt me the way you did” She said with her voice trembling, she was very close to crying.
Arizona looked at her and gave her a serious look. “I know and I am going to spend the rest of my life to make this up to you” She said and Callie warned her with her eyes “or at least start tonight and then we’ll see what happens. If I get a rose at the end of the night or if you send me home” She smiled showing of her dimples. Arizona took out the rose from her hair and put it in Callie’s hand. “The ball is in your court now Callie or the rose is in your hand” She smiled
Callie shook her head and laughed at the blonde’s goofiness, using “The Bachelor” as a whatever this evening.
“This is going to be a long night isn't it you goof?” She asked smiling
“Yup, so pizza, I haven’t eaten all day, I think I'm going to die” Arizona said quickly
“Yeah, pizza” Callie answered, trying to read the blonde’s mind.
The night had just started.
A/N 3: So did it suck? Or was it good? Is Arizona starting to redeem herself or is she faking it?
