I kind of have this idea in my head. Ringing and ringing. Let's see if anyone will pick this up.
Here we go!
"Robbins!"
Flopping over her pillow in her head and ignore the annoying voice she heard.
"Robbins! Fucking wake up! Your brother is here!"
Groaning, Arizona sat up in her king size bed and stared at her best friend who was looking over the balcony of her penthouse. "He's not supposed to be in the US for another week. You are imagining things. I need sleep."
"Well, do you know anyone else driving a dark blue Maserati Ghibli in a white shirt with a light gray blazer and black aviator sunglasses matching his black pants that's squeezing his ass looking all good, hot and sexy like that!" Her friend once more exclaimed.
Rolling her eyes, she sat up and walked over where her friend is. Sure, her brother drive that car, he loves that car. But she was pretty sure that her friend was over imagining things again, especially that childhood crush Teddy have on her brother didn't really go away.
Looking down on her building where she can see some paparazzi and a couple of girls squealing made her eyes wide. Gulping any remaining liquid in her mouth, she tried to focus on the man Teddy just describe who was bent over his car pulling out two boxes.
Shit!
The said man looked up and fixed his sunglasses and waved at them. His dirty blond hair was pushed back, Arizona knew that smile anywhere. It was his signature smile making all the panties drop.
"What the hell is he doing here?" Arizona watched as Teddy ran to the bathroom. Checking over her phone, trying to check if she missed anything from her brother, she heard the elevator doors open.
"Dimples! Show your brother some love!"
Arizona walked over and saw her brother dropping the boxes on her coffee table with his arms wide open.
"Tim! What are you doing here? You weren't supposed to be in the country for another week." Arizona said as she was engage in a bone crushing hug.
Tim pulled Arizona away by an arm length. "You didn't miss your big brother?" Teasing her more, Tim kissed her cheeks with a loud sound.
Arizona was about to respond when Teddy came out of the bathroom in a nice dress and a simple make up on. "Tim. Welcome back. We missed you." Teddy said biting her lip.
"Aw! I'm glad someone missed me!" Tim walked over and gave Teddy a short hug. Arizona laughed when Tim was about to pull away and Teddy pulled him closer and smelled him. Both Robbins shrugs and gave each other a knowing look.
When they pulled away, Tim clapped his hand. "Now, you two get ready. We are going to a charity polo match."
"Why?" Arizona asked as she poured herself a 40 year old scotch which was pulled away by her brother.
"Because you've been MIA to the business affairs for a long time, Dimples." Tim hid the bottle away and pushed the boxes to Arizona and Teddy. "And the Colonel requested for your appearance."
"The Colonel will be there?!" Arizona half yelled.
"Yes. Now dress up. I got this dresses from Italy. Come on! Chop chop." Tim commanded.
"So why are you actually dragging me long with this Tim? You know I don't do this. Not anymore." Arizona confessed while staring at the clouds from the passenger seat of his brother's car, fidgeting on her loose, flowery sundress.
Teddy opted to drive with some of their friends, as requested by Tim of course. Arizona was watching the view from her window, the drive to her hometown, Napa Valley from her penthouse in Palo Alto was a couple of hours away. She looked over and watched her brother who changed into a more formal light gray coat over a light blue button down shirt tucked into a navy blue tailor fit slacks.
Tim sighed. Being a 29 year-old CEO of a large company was not his dream. He wanted a simple life, live by the vineyard, marry the love of his life and have a family. Not handle a multi-million dollar business. All the VIP treatments, the luxury hotels, it was not him. But it had to be.
"I need you to meet someone." Tim replied in a very vague sentence. All the conditions were signed and agreed upon.
"Someone." Arizona looked at her brother for an instance. "Who is this someone?"
Slowly stop the car by the side of the road and getting ready for the wrath of her sister when he delivery the news. "Your fiancée."
"I don't have a fiancée, even a girlfriend." Arizona snorted and laughs, laughed until Tim looked at him blankly. "What do you mean?"
Scratching his head he turned to Arizona. "You are going to be married to the youngest daughter of-"
He didn't even finish his sentence when Arizona yelled at him. "No! I don't want to get married!"
Tim shook his head. "You are going to get married to this girl, Arizona."
"No! We are not in the 1800s Timothy! You can't make me do this. Not you or the Colonel can do this." Hearing his full name, Tim tried to control his temper.
"Do you think I want to do this? Do you think I want to run this whole business on my own Arizona? I'm engage to someone I don't love! Who acts like I'm some sort of trophy, an arm candy!" Tim snapped back.
"Where do you think money comes from huh? Your penthouse, the cars! Your expenses!" Arizona shuts up and stared at his brother. Tim is a loving and protective brother, he'd do anything for his little sister, his family, and it takes a lot to make him snap.
"I'm trying my best to handle and run this business. I'm on my own here. I need your help. We both know that we can't count on the Colonel anymore." He confessed.
With a heavy breath, Arizona reached over his brother's arm. Tim held her hand. "If it was up to me I'll let this all go. I can live without the money, but this is her legacy. I'm doing this for her." Tim looked up to Arizona with her eyes filled with tears.
"I'd do everything if I could. But I agreed myself to marry into the Johnsons' to save this company from bankruptcy." He shook his head as he remembers his annoying fiancée.
Arizona remembers the second time she saw her brother let out tears when her told her he was going to marry the granddaughter of a high ranking executive in the financial world to get a loan for the company during the recession, the recession that took everything from them.
"This marriage can help us from the debt we owe, to expand and grow all over the world. The Bellisimo group of companies can help us do that." Tim looked at Arizona.
"I didn't want to involve you with this, Arizona. I wanted you to live your life. To have your dreams." She remembers how Tim came home months at a time, exhausted. But he still manages to smile and say 'Go live your life. Be happy.'
"But it's been 2 years since you graduated. You have a degree in bioengineering from Stanford. And you what? Party? Drink all you want? Sleep around?" Tim started.
"You wanted to become something other than this. And if you keep on being a child and not grow up, I'll treat you like one." He started the car and drove off.
Arizona was still pondering the idea of her marrying someone she does not even know. Some snotty spoiled brat. The Bellisimo group is one of the largest hotel and resort chains in the world. Mainly in South America, scattered islands like Fiji, New Caledonia and Maldives, 5 star resorts and hotels. Knowing a little, their company, Eros Corporation has some real estate in Hawaii, some are dispersed in the US and they may have some power over these places because the company sponsors the major politicians in those area.
She was sitting in the table waiting for her friends when she decided to mess with Tim. Her brother made her dress up with this stupid pink sundress to impress the family that owns the Bellisimo group. Tim can force her to marry this girl, he was going to pull everything away from her, the penthouse, the cars, and the money. But if the other party refuses, and she agrees, the fault will be on the other side. The girl may not agree to marry her.
Quietly sneak off to the changing room and plotting her actions, she saw Tim looking around for her. Riding a horse with an equestrian helmet, a tan riding boots, white trousers and a white and red polo shirt, she waved her polo mallet at the stands where Tim was standing with a group of people.
He was talking to a well-dressed man in a white buttoned down shirt and white pants topped by a brown coat who was with a younger lady by his side in a light peach dress and two other women in the back.
When Tim saw her or recognize that it was her, he shook his head. With that, she rode off and plays polo.
Pumping adrenaline, she was talking with her friends, Teddy and Alex after the match that she had won, she told them about the situation Tim put her in. Now she was going to face her brother and the family from the Bellisimo Group.
Taking her helmet off, she walked towards Tim. "Timothy, did you enjoy the match?" Looking directly at her brother who was giving off an annoyed smile and he gritted his teeth, she knew she got them. The old balding man with facial hair surrounding his chin cleared his throat.
Turning to face the family, she gave off her best dimpled smile. She wasn't just going to go get married. She made up her mind to annoy this woman so she will be the one to back off.
The balding old man was scary, he gives her a shiver down her spine was beside an old Latina woman with a flowing black hair in a green dress.
The woman in peach she saw beside the bald guy earlier was beside Tim now, this woman was hot. She was obviously related to the old couple. Her peach dress was revealing, tan legs were showing off the long slit of the dress. She smirked at Tim. This must be the woman she needs to marry. She was hot, sexy and beautiful, and if she was like any other girls, she'll be putty in her hands. It'd be no problem marrying this woman. At least she could have some fun.
Arizona looked up to the woman who subtly wiggled her index finger and mouthed 'Not me' while she smirked. The woman in peach moved away to provide Arizona a view of another person.
Her breathe hitched. Looking at the woman who left her two years ago, the woman who disappeared like a bubble. Arizona gulped.
"Arizona, meet Callie Torres. Your fiancée."
