Saving Me

Chapter 26

Arizona's POV

"What the hell is going on?" I said as they both looked at me.

"Nothing," Callie replied.

"Don't lie, I just saw you slap her," I said, looking at her.

"I kissed her," Perrie said after a few seconds as she moved her hand from her face, revealed a red cheek.

"You did what," I said as I faced her. I could feel anger rising inside me like a fire. I knew this would happen.

"I kissed her, and she slapped me," Perrie repeated like it wasn't a big deal.

"You kissed MY girlfriend," I said through gritted teeth as I stepped closer.

"Yeah, I'm sor..." . That was it. Before she even finished speaking, I lifted my arm and punched her straight in the face. She stumbled back,  falling on the floor as pain ran through my hand.

"What the fuck" Perrie said, shock evident in her voice, as blood spilled from her nose.

"Don't ever and I mean EVER touch my girlfriend again. Now get out and don't come back, you are done here" I spat. She didn't say anything just ran out of the bathroom. I looked at Callie and saw her staring at me shocked.

"I ..." she started to say but I stopped her.

"Later, we need to get back to work and I need to call Lexi and Amelia" I said before turning around and walking out the bathroom, my hand throbbing.

I walked into the office and could see Callie behind the counter serving a customer on the CCTV. I know its not her fault I mean she did slap Perrie so it tells me that she didnt want it but I can't help but think maybe she did a little. I know I'm being stupid. Callie loves me and wants to be with me. I just need to calm down from the whole thing. I watched her for a couple of  minutes before picking up the phone and calling Amelia.

"Hey" she greets

"Hey, erm we have a slight problem here, I just sacked Perrie" I said.

"What why"

I then quickly told her what happened and I could tell she was shocked.

"Right leave it with me, I'll speak to Lexi"

"Okay"   Just as I hung up Callie walked into the office.

"What are you doing, there is no one out front" I say.

"We've only got 2 customers and they are drinking coffee, just wanted to bring you this" she lifted her hand and showed me something wrapped in a tea towel.

"Its ice, for your hand" she said shyly handing me the ice.

"I had to improvise" I took it from her and gently placed it on my knuckles, which were started to look a little red and swollen.

"Look Arizona, I'm sorry, I tried to stop her as soon as she kissed me I pushed her straight off me" she said. I could tell by the sound of her voice that she was upset.

"It's okay, it's not your fault" I reply

"I love you" she half smiled as she walked closer to me.

"I love you too" I smiled back. I stood up and closed the gap between us and connected our lips.

"Come on we have to get back out, we are one person short now" I said after a few seconds giving her one last kiss before picking up the towel and ice and heading back to the front of the café.

"Need some help" Lexi says walking in 30 minutes later.

"Oh my God yes, you couldn't have come at a better time, we are so busy" I half laugh, passing her 2 plates of sandwiches.

"Table 3" she picked them up and took them to the table.

After rush hour was over and we could breath again, the pain in my hand became more noticeable. I got more ice and wrapped it in a towel and placed it on my knuckles, trying to sooth the trobbing. Lexi made me a coffee and stood there staring at me with a little smile on her face.

"What" I said.

"I so wish I could have seen you punch someone" she chuckles.

"Why" I laugh.

"Because in all the years I've known you I've never known you to even slap someone"

"Yeah, well she kissed Callie so.." I say shrugging my shoulders, taking a sip of my coffee. I looked over at Callie who was taking a drink order for table 5. I couldn't help but smile, she is just incredible. I feel like the luckiest women in the world to be able to call her mine and I never want that to change.

The rest of the day went by quite quickly which I was glad about as my hand was still rather painful. I don't know how people can punch people and call it  sport or how people just randomly punch people, it fucking hurts. 

"fancy coming round to mine later, we haven't spent time together in weeks" I ask Lexi.

"you not going back to Callie's"

"no, not tonight, we can have takeaway and wine" I smile. She just gave me a look that I know all to well.

"ok fine no wine" I sigh rolling my eyes.

"sounds good" she laughs as she wipes down the counter.

Soon it was closing time and as much as I was  glad that it was over, it meant that I'd be going home alone, that I won't be with Callie tonight. I know I will see her in 2 days but I cant wait for us to be living together for good so that I don't have to spend a night or day away from her again.

"Am I okay to go" Callie asks a short while later.

"If you must" I said sadly.

"Hey, come on, I will see you in 2 days, you were the one that was saying it will be okay" she chuckled.

"I know but I'm going to miss you"

"I will miss you to, but 2 days okay, we are working together on Thursday and like we agreed I'll come stay at yours and I will bring Sofia" she said taking my hand into hers pulling me closer.

"Okay"

"I will call you as soon as I get home, I love you" she says leaning in and connecting our lips.

"I love you too" I gave her another kiss before we said goodbye and she walked out the door.
