My best friend and I (Raestorm) have been writing stories for a few years now and it got me interested. We still write stories together and have one on this site as of now by icerae. Not entirely sure where I want to go from here but feel free to leave suggestions. Disclaimer: The show as well as the characters do not belong to me. Enjoy!

Callie's POV

The treadmill finally came to a stop as Callie sighed in relief. Now for the awkward part, getting off and walking. Once the machine was clean, she made her way to the locker room, got dressed, and went out into the hot Miami air.

Being between jobs wasn't easy for the Latina. She had come home to Miami when the strike in Seattle didn't work out in her favor. It helped that she knew the hospital wouldn't have gotten rid of her if they didn't have to. Still, it wasn't easy to have to come home and leave her life in Seattle behind.

In the meantime, Callie got a job at a local coffee shop and enjoyed the easy going atmosphere of which she wasn't used to. But boy did she miss cutting. She chose her career for a reason. There was nothing left to do but to wait to hear back from the hospitals that she had spoken with.

While walking to the coffee shop, Callie thought of all of these things, which led her to not even remember getting to work, let alone checking the stock. Breaking her train of thought, the sound of a bell came from the front of the shop. Putting her apron back on, Callie made her way to the counter. She would have been lying if she denied the fact that the blonde haired, blue eyed woman waiting for her return was beautiful and intriguing. Immediately smiling, Callie went to assist her. "Good morning. How can I help you?"

"Hi," Callie heard from below the counter. A little girl looked up at her, almost a clone of the gorgeous blonde she was with.

"Hi, sweetie. How are you?"

"Good. My Aunt Zona likes coffee."

Smiling at the cute girl, Callie assumed that her aunt was the gorgeous blonde. "Oh yeah? And what do you like?"

"Cookies," the small girl responded.

"Well, we will have to see what we can do about that," Callie replied before looking to the woman once again. "So what will it be?"

"A regular coffee for me and an ice water for her," the woman responded, obviously eyeing Callie up.

Setting straight off to work, Callie wondered about the woman and made a mental note to ask for her name. Maybe she would get lucky and get a number too. 'Get a grip, Callie, you don't even know if she is into girls.'

Walking back to the counter with the coffee, an ice water, and a cookie, Callie winked at the woman and handed the little girl the cookie. As she rang the coffee up, Callie nervously looked to the woman. "I haven't seen you here before. I'm Callie by the way."

"Arizona, and this is my niece, Arianna. As for the never seeing me before, I'm just visiting my brother for a couple of weeks," the blonde, now known as Arizona, answered.

"Well, it was very nice to meet both of you. If you ever need anything while you're in town, feel free to call me," Callie said, handing Arizona her change as well as a business card with Callie's direct line on it.

"Thanks, Callie."


The rest of Callie's day at the shop went dreadfully slow. It didn't help that she couldn't take her mind off a certain blonde and her niece. She hoped Arizona would make good use of her number. Realizing that she was way too hopeful for something that would most likely not happen, Callie distracted herself by closing up for the day. Maybe there were some good takeout leftovers at home.

Slowly walking to the bus, Callie heard a familiar voice across the street and turned towards it. It was Arianna's. She was with a man. 'It must be her father,' Callie observed. Arianna noticed her too and waved enthusiastically. Callie waved back and was in a better mood when she got on the bus. Maybe there was hope.


Arizona's POV

"Aunt Zo," Arianna called with urgency as soon as her father and she walked into the house.

Meeting her niece in the kitchen, Arizona nodded to her brother, Timothy, then looked to her niece who was looking at her with pleading, eager eyes. "Yes, Ari?" Arizona inquired.

"Guess who I saw when I was out with Daddy?"

"Who?"

"That lady who gave me the cookie today!"

"Oh yeah?" Arizona asked, amused.

"Yeah. You should call her so you can sees her before you leave."

Tim looked at Arizona with questioning eyes but she wouldn't look at him so she couldn't give him any hints. Looking back to her very observant and smart four year old niece, she patted her on the head. "We will see what happens. Now you better go wash up. We have a big day tomorrow while Daddy is at work."

"Okay. But can we at least go back to the coffee shop tomorrow?"

"We will see."

Saying goodnight to Arizona and Tim, Arianna shot up the stairs towards the bathroom, singing a Disney song the whole time. Tim laughed at his daughter then looked back to Arizona. "So you met a girl and got her number already? You've only been here for a day, sis."

"What can I say? They flock to me," Arizona responded, obvious cockiness apparent in her voice.

"Does she have any hope?"

"Well, she is very attractive and makes really great coffee."

"Sounds promising," Tim laughed as he pat Arizona on the back. "Time for bed. See you in the morning, sis."

"Night."


Arizona laid in bed that night and couldn't stop her mind from wandering to the Latina she met that day as well as how her niece reacted to her. This led her to think about her niece and how badly she usually reacted to women since her mom died in the car accident six months ago. It was all just weird and the more Arizona tried to push it to the back of her mind, the more she thought about it all.

Eventually, Arizona felt herself begin to drift off to sleep and the solution to her problem seemed to be all the more clear. Maybe Arianna and she should make a stop at the coffee shop tomorrow.


Callie's POV

It had been a slow morning and Callie found herself extra tired, which to her, just seemed to be ironic considering she worked in a coffee shop. To wake herself up she decided to wipe the already clean counters.

Putting her earphones in, Callie got a sponge and started to clean every nook and cranny. Her cleaning frenzy didn't last long due to the fact that she heard the bell on the front door chime over her earphones. Glancing up, she couldn't help the smile that spread across her face. Arianna and Arizona were standing at the door. Arizona was leaning down and Arianna appeared to be whispering something in her ear. When she finished, she smiled and made her way to the counter. "Hi, Callie!"

While Callie was observing them she had grabbed a cookie for the little girl and had already handed it to her. "Good morning."

"You is the best. I was just thinking about cookies."

Stifling a laugh back, Callie risked a glance at Arizona. She was looking back. "So would you like another coffee?"
