TIMING IS EVERYTHING: CHAPTER ONE
December 24, 2008
It is Christmas Eve Day here in Boston as I, Arizona Robbins and my parents are walking along the street that houses the greatest baseball park in the world that is Fenway Park as my father makes the comment "You and Tim sure loved this ballpark" as my father squeezes me into his arms tighter as I say "Born a Red Sox, die a Red Sox fan. Tim and I live by that motto" as my mother holds my hand as the three of us walk back to our home just down the street. It has been six months and sixteen days since my brother died in Iraq and this is the first Christmas without him as the three of us are sad and grieve for him in our own special way.
"Sweetie, when do you leave for Seattle"? My mother asks me as we sit down to dinner. "On the 30th, I will leave from here as I already sent my belongings ahead. The hospital found me an apartment as they are paying for the lease for three months and then if I want to stay there I can prolong the lease or I can find a new place. Thought after what happened in Baltimore with Joanne it would be better for me to leave from here after spending the holiday with the two of you and other relatives here in Boston". My father groans Joanne's name under his breath as he continues to eat his dinner. I know how both of my parents feel about the situation between Joanne and me, so for now I am not looking for a new relationship just a new job. A new job in Seattle to take my mind off of the break up with my girlfriend of three years that went so terribly wrong in Baltimore.
I say good bye to my parents and wish them a Happy New Year as my mother begins to cry uncontrollably as the three of us realize in that moment that we are starting a new year without my beloved brother. I fly out of Logan International Airport as the weather is pretty normal here in Boston for this time of year with snow flurries and the wind chill factor is at a modest 12 degrees Fahrenheit.
The four and a half hour flight from Boston to Seattle was a grueling, white knuckle ride on my part since I dislike everything about flying. Landing at Sea-Tac International Airport where the weather here today is pretty much like I left it in Boston with snow accumulation of four inches and the wind chill factor at 17 degrees Fahrenheit. After retrieving the duffel bag from baggage claim that clearly has the name ROBBINS stenciled on the side of it, I make my way to the open doors to hail a cab to my new job and my new life here in Seattle.
On my way out the door I see a beautiful long-haired brunette woman holding up sign with my name on it. As I approach her and say "Why hello there, I am Dr. Robbins" as she introduces herself as she says "Good morning , My name is Noelle Taylor and I am here from the Seattle Grace Hospital to take you to your new apartment. I hope you enjoyed your flight here to Seattle and we are so pleased to have you at Seattle Grace".
As I am giving this lovely woman the once over as my eyes travel up and down her body as I say "Lead the way Noelle" as Noelle giggles a little bit and makes her way out the sliding double doors to the parking garage that is across from the airport. As I walk behind Noelle following her, she catches me a few times checking out her great looking ass as I just grin at her as she begins to speak.
"If I did not know any better Dr. Robbins I would think you are checking me out" Noelle says after catching me again glancing at her ass as I just smile my special smile as I ask her "And that would be a bad thing because"? We reach Noelle's car as I open the driver's side door for her as she whispers to me on the way by as she gets in the car "I never said it was a bad thing but I do have a boyfriend" as I shut her door and make my way around the car to let myself in as I mumble to myself "All the pretty girls do".
The conversation is relatively quiet except for Noelle pointing out some of the landmarks of Seattle. Noelle finally gets around to asking the question that seems to have been burning in her mind since she picked me up at the airport as she says "Dr. Robbins, I see that you are carrying a duffel bag with your name imprinted on it. Were you in the service, ma'am"? I smile as I look into her emerald green eyes as I say "First of all my name is Arizona when we talk outside the hospital and second, no I was never in the military but my older brother was as he served his country well over in Iraq"? As Noelle flashed me a questioning look as she said "Served" as I told my new friend that he did not make it home alive.
Noelle stops the car in front of the apartment complex where I will be staying for at least the next three months, longer if I decide. Noelle walks me to my apartment door as she slide the key in the lock with ease as she opens the door for me. We enter the apartment as she begins to show me around telling me where everything is and about the neighborhood. She informs me that there is a grocery store, a drug store, a cozy little diner, a laundromat and a dry cleaners right down the street. As she is describing all these different places I find myself staring into her green eyes with lust as she begins to leave.
Noelle is standing at the door with her hand on the door handle as I walk over to her as she has extended her hand outward for me to shake as she is telling me "It has been a pleasure meeting you Dr. Robbins and I hope to see you around the hospital. If there is anything you need, please don't hesitate to ask" that is when I feel this sudden urge to kiss Noelle as I say to her "Once again it's Arizona and I do not shake hands with a beautiful lady. I kiss and hug a beautiful lady" as I back Noelle up against the door and press my lips to her gorgeous lips. When I feel the kiss is being reciprocated from Noelle then I glide my tongue over her bottom lip as I hear her begin to moan "Arizona" that is when I take charge of the situation. Noelle takes her hand off the doorknob and places it firmly on my ass as she moves my body closer to hers as I begin to inhale her tongue into my mouth.
Within seconds Noelle and I have extracted each others clothes off our bodies as we stand in front of each other in just our bra and panties. I take my right hand and place it at the front clasp of Noelle's bra as I release her breasts from their confinement letting the bra slide off her arms. As I palm each of her breasts in my hands I whisper to her softly "These are magnificent" as I bend my head a little to take her left breast in my mouth kissing her breast. I swirl my tongue over the nipple creating a hard nub in my mouth as I caress her right breast with the palm of my hand. Noelle begins to run her fingers through my hair as she says "Oh Arizona, that feels so good" as I do the same technique on her right breast and then take my incredible mouth as I begin to move down her gorgeous body. I fall to my knees as I persist with my kisses as I am traveling across her stomach as now both of my hands continue to palm each of her breasts.
Noelle has now placed her hands over mine as she is mumbling my name along with other expletive remarks that I do not comprehend because I am concentrating on the task at hand. Literally, I find my mouth just inches away from where we both know and feel I need to be as I can smell her intoxicating scent. I have removed my hands from her breast as I have placed them on each of her hips for support as I begin to pleasure this woman with my many talents.
This woman, this woman that I have just met mere hours ago, that has her back against my front door begging me to make her come as she says how good I feel between her legs. With Noelle holding onto the door jam with both hands for dear life as I remove her panties as I see that they are soaked with her arousal. I begin with asking Noelle "Spread your legs for me, baby" as she does what I ask as I separate her second pair of lips on her body with my thumbs as I see how wet I have made her become.
"I knew you had a feeling you liked me checking out your body earlier because look what I have made you do. You are not only so hot but now I have made you so wet" as I smile and begin using my Robbins Method on Noelle. After a few minutes of me going down on Noelle she begins to scream my name over and over as I slide two fingers inside her and my tongue, lips and mouth are doing that special Robbins dance on her clit as she is about to lose control of her senses. Without any warning Noelle looses her grip on the door jam as she plunges knees first then face down catching herself before her face hits the floor onto the carpeted area of the foyer as she takes me with her as she reaches an orgasm and comes all over my fingers and into my mouth.
Noelle rolls off my face as she lies on her back saying "I am so sorry for losing my grip and falling on you, Arizona but no one has ever made me come that hard before. Never once not even my boyfriend" after hearing her reference her boyfriend a second time since I have met her, I slide you her body to ask her "Do you want to know what you taste like" as she shakes her head yes I kiss her so deeply driving my tongue into her mouth so she may suck on it and taste herself.
She moans so loud at this newfound experience that she rolls me over on my back as she whispers in my ear "Tell me what to do, Arizona. I want to fuck you so bad but I do not know what to do" as I kiss her again and guide her hand to my other lips as I begin to whisper in her ear "Just do to me what you would do if you were masturbating" as I spread my legs further apart to give Noelle more access as she eases her fingers into me and begins to move them in and out of me as she asks "Am I doing this right. You feel so wet and so good" as I whisper in her ear again "You are doing beautifully, now continue what you are doing but take your thumb and rub my clit" as I move my hips into her thrusts and Noelle attaches her mouth to my boob as I say "Yea baby, just keep doing that…in and out…just like that…oh yea, I am so close" as Noelle releases one finger from inside me to flick my clit as she covers my mouth with hers so the neighbors do not hear me scream her name as she pushes me over the edge to my orgasm.
Noelle and I lie there for several minutes as I notice that she begins to fall asleep. I rise up from the floor to retrieve a blanket and two pillows from one of my boxes as I place one pillow under Noelle's head as I lie on the other pillow. I surround both of our bodies with the blanket as I pull her into my arms and we drift off to sleep.
A couple of hours later I feel Noelle kiss my lips so softly as I awaken to see her putting her clothes back on as I say to her "Where are you going"? As she says back to me "I will let you begin unpacking as I have some errands to run" then I say to her "Are you working today at the hospital"? as she answers me "No, I have the day off and do not have to be to work until noon tomorrow" Sometime during our conversation I rise from lying down on the floor to sitting up wrapping the blanket around my naked body as I watch her continue to dress.
I ask her "Well, why don't I get dressed too and I can run your errands with you and you can show me more of this great city and then we can get some dinner and then you can help me unpack and see where the night goes from their" Noelle smiles at me as she says "Sounds like a plan to me" I jump up to find a box marked "Bathroom" as I find a towel and a wash cloth and make my way to the bathroom to change.
After several hours of running errands, eating some lunch at Noelle's favorite deli while we talk about our lives with other people, running some more errands and finally stopping at a Italian restaurant to order some salads to take home for dinner, we make our way back to my apartment. Noelle says she will help me unpack and put things away.
For the next six hours, Noelle and I unpack my belongings but taking a break to eat dinner and share bottle of wine then back to unpacking and putting things in their proper place. Finally around eleven pm, we both crashed on the couch. Noelle began to say "I really think I need to get home now. I am really beginning to stink" as I say as I straddle her on the couch as I kiss her "Well, you know that you can throw your clothes in the washer and take a shower here and stay the night". Noelle begins to slide her hands up under my shirt and across my rib cage as she says "Are you sure" as I shiver at her fingertips running along my back as I stutter "Yes…Yes I am sure" as Noelle smiles and says "I was hoping you would say that" as she lifts me up off the couch as we make our way to the laundry room and strip ourselves naked while putting our clothes in the washing machine.
Within twelve hours of each other, I bring Noelle to another earth shattering orgasm. I have scooted back up into my bed as I am lying flat on my back as Noelle is trying to catch her breath again as she tries talking through her gasps of air as she says "You…are…fucking fantastic…Arizona…you really need to teach me how to do that thing you do to make me feel this way. Seriously Arizona, please teach me". I ponder teaching another newborn the Robbins Method of pleasuring a woman, Noelle has already begun making her descent down my body as she settles herself between my legs. Noelle looks up at me with those big green wanting eyes as she say "Please Arizona, I want you to feel the same mind blowing orgasm that you make me feel, please".
I bend my legs upward and spread them open for Noelle she begins by kissing my inner thighs and the skin right above my hairline as I say "With your thumbs spread open the lips to my pussy" as Noelle does as she is instructed I hear her softly say "You smell so fucking good" as I smile and say "Now with your tongue stroke it up and down in between my folds to get a taste of me". Noelle begins doing what I ask of her as I say "Oh yea, just like that. Now take your mouth and lips and encircle my clit while licking and sucking on it".Noelle does this task for a few seconds as I am having a herd time catching my breath as I then say "While doing all of those things with your mouth, lips and tongue now enter your fingers again into the mix and begin to build up a rhythm between the three tasks".
Noelle tries to concentrate on doing all three things at once, I am gripping the edge of the mattress as I am grinding my hips along with each thrust being made by Noelle. Noelle begins to feel the muscles around her fingers begin to contract as she stops with the sucking of my clit as she just hovers her mouth over my clit and then with one flick of her tongue on my clit I come in her mouth as she brings me to my second orgasm since I met her yesterday. "So, on a scale from 1 to 10 with 10 being the best you ever had, how was I" asks Noelle as I am now trying to catch my breath as I say very honestly "Perfection, absolute perfection" as Noelle smiles and says "Thank you, Arizona".
Hearing the water running in my bathroom wakes me up as I sit up in bed as Noelle enters the bedroom dressed only in a towel. I pull on the towel pulling it from her body as I force her back down on the bed as I kiss her furiously. I place my body over hers as she says to me after our kiss "What are you doing tonight? One of the interns is having a New Year's Eve party tonight and I would like for you to come with me" I retreat back to sitting up in the bed as I say "I don't know Noelle, I do not know anyone from the hospital but you so let me think about it, alright".
Noelle sits up on the bed as well as she continues to get dressed as she says "Fair enough, but I really don't want you spending New Year's Eve in a new city alone. So call me and let me know. I get off around nine tonight and then I am going to change and go to the party. Call me before then and I will pick you up on the way" Noelle writes down her phone number and then kisses me goodbye. I hold her for a moment longer and then kiss her goodbye too.
Noelle and I arrive at Meredith Grey's party around nine thirty as she begins to introduce me to the other people at the party. Noelle and I are standing next to the fireplace talking when I see a very handsome man walking up behind Noelle as he wraps his arms around her waist and whispers in her ear "Hello beautiful" as she turns and screams "Gregory, when did you come home" as it turns out Gregory has been in Alaska fishing on a crab boat since early November and has just returned home for four days. He wanted to surprise his girlfriend by coming to this party.
Gregory swallows Noelle up in his arms as he says "I have four days off and I want to spend them with you. First though I have something to ask you" as he asks for everyone's attention then he drops down to one knee as he asks Noelle "Will you marry me, Noelle" as she begins to cry and says without hesitation or even looking my way "Yes my love, I will marry you" as everyone begins to shout out their approval, I stand there and look across the room as I see one other woman besides myself that is not celebrating this new revelation. I make eye contact with her as I shrug my shoulders and smile in her direction as she does the same to me.
Noelle introduces her boyfriend/fiancé to me after all the celebration dies down as I extend my hand to say "Congratulations and it is nice to meet you. I need to go in search of a drink now so I'll let you two get back to your celebrating" as I make a bee line to the kitchen to make myself a stiff drink. A gentleman comes into the kitchen after me as he says very seductively "So, you are the new Peds surgeon, huh" as I continue making my drink as I say "Yes I am, Arizona Robbins and you are"?
The gentleman walks over to face me as he says "Karev, Alex Karev" as I begin to laugh and say "Like Bond, James Bond…does that line even work on women today" as Alex says confidently "Yes…Yes it does but I see it is having no effect on you" as I laugh again and say "No my dear Alex, you are definitely not my type but thank you for trying". Alex exits the kitchen and I hear a woman's voice say "So if Dr. Karev is not your type, could I be your type" as I turn to see it is the same woman I was staring at earlier as I say "Well, the night is young…So I guess we will see".
Just as the conversation ends with this mysterious woman in Meredith Grey's kitchen, we both begin to hear everyone else in the house begin to count down from 10 to 1. As the countdown reaches three this mysterious woman is standing in front of me with her right hand on my cheek as she whispers "May I" as I nod yes and this woman kisses me at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve. I pull her close to strengthen the kiss and as the kiss breaks this mysterious woman says to me "Do you want to get out of here" as I nod my head yes again. We both walk out the front door as Noelle hears Christina say to Meredith "Well there goes Deb with another conquest" as Noelle looks at the front door to see me leaving with Debra from Pathology.
On January 4th, I am in my office talking to Chief Webber as I hear a knock on my door. I say "Come in" as Noelle opens the door then says "Oh, I am sorry Dr. Robbins I thought we had a meeting to finish your paperwork. I can come back another time". I say to Noelle "No, please Chief Webber and I were just finishing up our meeting" as Chief Webber says "Hello Miss Taylor, I guess congratulations are in order. I hear you are getting married" as she say politely "Thank you sir and yes I am".
The chief leaves our presence and Noelle turns to face me. Noelle is the first to say "I am so sorry about that. I wanted to be the one to tell you about Greg and me". I say "Don't worry about it. I pretty much assumed that a wedding was going to be in the works as I witnessed the question being asked firsthand the other night". I sit down at my desk silently asking Noelle to take a seat at the front of my desk.
After I complete all the required paperwork from HR I begin to walk Noelle to the door as I say "We had fun you and me. I will never forget you but you need to go and be happy. Thanks for showing me Seattle and I hope we can still be friends". Noelle stops dead in her tracks to say "We did have fun for a day and I will always remember that day fondly. I, too, would like to remain friends and thanks to you for all you taught me in that perfect twenty four hour period. The Robbins Method is something I will never forget". I want to say to her "If you ever change your mind you know where to find me" but decide against putting any pressure on the situation. Then Noelle asks "May I kiss you a couple of times before I go"?
I say "A couple" as she takes her hand and places it upon my neck as she draws me closer to her mouth then she whispers "This kiss is the kiss I was going to give you the other night wishing you a Happy New Year" as she pulls me into her lips and kisses me tenderly. Then after the kiss breaks I say "And the next kiss" as she tilts me backwards across the conference table in my office as she throws my lab coat open and pulls on the drawstring to my scrub pants as she pulls them down along with my underwear as she says "One last goodbye kiss" as she begins to go down on me as she shows me her rendition again of the Robbins Method one last time.
Just before Noelle opens my office door to leave, she turns to me to say "By the way, Debra from Pathology, please tell me it was a one time thing because I just want you to know that I want you to be happy too and she will not make you happy. She is the female version of Dr. Alex Karev. They both pounce on anything and anyone with a pulse. Please tell me you are not seeing her on a regular basis". I smile and say "Well, since now we are girlfriends now in the friendship kind of way, no I am not seeing her. That night I spent with her, it was just sex and nothing more as I have not seen her since that night".
Noelle smiles at me and says "Good because you deserve better and you will someday I am sure of it, Arizona. You will find the love of your life and I will be so happy when you do. Take care of yourself and I will see you around". Noelle reaches for the door I spin her back around to say "Hold on a minute there, I never got to kiss you goodbye" as I close the distance between us and take Noelle's face in my hands as I place a very sensual kiss on her lips tasting myself on her tongue and lips as I moan at the sensation as she pulls me in closer to her body. Realizing we both need oxygen to breathe, we break the kiss as we both stumble a bit but hold on to each other until we catch our balance as Noelle says "Wow, I sure am going to miss the way you make me feel both inside and out, Arizona" as I say to her "The feeling is so mutual, Noelle, so goodbye and take care of yourself. If you ever need anything, you know where to find me". With all that has happened in the last hour, I am going to find it hard to concentrate on work today.
