"The jury has heard all of the evidence," Callie said two days later. They were heading home after the closing statements. She had been worried that Zona would have completely shut down after the demonstrations with the whips and belt. But Arizona had just nodded the day before when they happened. As if to say, "Yeah, that happened to me. But that bag of flour has no idea how painful it was." In fact, Arizona was driving, she had insisted. She wanted things to get back to normal. "They can't honestly be out for very long."
"Have you ever had jury duty, Callie?" Teddy asked from the back. "You have to go over every piece of evidence even if everyone agrees. It could only take half an hour or thirty six hours. And if there are any woman supremacists in that group...you just never know."
Arizona got them into the apartment lot safely and Teddy left them with hugs. "Everything will be okay," Teddy smiled. "I'll see you guys tonight."
Callie looked down as Arizona took her hand. "I want everything to get back to normal, Callie. I'm done being scared. I want to go back to work and I want to be with you."
"What happened to my freaking out Arizona two days ago?" she asked as they walked.
"I'm still going to freak out," Arizona said after a minute. "It's still real for me. But it's always going to be real. I need to make this, now, real for me." They entered the elevator. Callie watched as Arizona's eyes flicked back and forth between her eyes and lips.
"Zona," Callie said. "I want to wait." They stepped off the elevator. "You remember what happened last time."
"I know," Arizona said. They walked into the apartment. "Callie, I need to do this, and I might need a minute or two every now and then, but I need to do this. I need to stop being scared. I don't want to be scared anymore, Cal. Please."
She stepped closer to Callie, pinning her to the wall. "Arizona."
"Please Callie, I love you."
Callie felt her heart melt at
Arizona's admission. She looked into Arizona's blue eyes and gasped. They were smoldering with love and lust. She hadn't seen that look in those eyes in a long time. Her heart beat picked up. "Callie."
"Calliope," Callie corrected before she kissed Arizona.
This was her Arizona, Callie thought. She leaned into the kiss, softly remembering how great it was to kiss Arizona like this. Her hands found Zona's jacket and she quickly pulled it off. Arizona deepened the kiss, demanding entrance to Callie's mouth. Callie matched her, passion and quelled lust erupting within her.
She wanted Zona now. She wanted to kiss away her scars and fill them with love and affection, everything Arizona deserved. The Latina tugged at the blonde's jacket and pulled it off. She felt strong hands running over her body. Their kisses became more insistent. Callie leaned down and sucked Arizona's pulse point.
The pleasure that filled Callie made her want more of Arizona. "Bedroom," she whispered, walking away.
Arizona followed, pulling her shirt off as she went.
Want me to continue or switch to the next day in the next chapter? Should I end it here?
