A/N: Hey I have posted this story before, I was not happy with it that is why I took it down and made some changes to it. I have been eager to finish it but felt like I wanted to update it and make it better. Hope you will like it.

Arizona's Pov:

"Oh wow! Are you serious? I don't know what to say…thank you so so much! It will help so many people, you can't even imagine…thank you" I said with a huge smile on my face. I look at my confused looking friend across the table "We just got 300 thousand dollars from last night's charity event in New York. Do you know what that means Teddy?" I said too eager to sit down.

"Oh wow! Are you kidding? That is incredible!" she stood up and pulled me into a hug "It sucks that I will miss tonight's event. Are you sure you will be okay doing it on your own? I can still cancel my ticket"

"I am a grown woman, I would love for you to join me but I promise you I will be okay on my own. You go home and enjoy yourself" I sat down and started fanning myself with the menu.

Teddy smiles back "Your highness. Are you okay?" she said and called for the waiter

"No I can't stand the heat" I said taking a sip of my iced tea. "You're not bothered at all by it?"

Teddy started laughing "It's hot. I agree but guess I am used to it, we'll be back at the hotel soon and then you can thank the lord for the air conditioners"

We had our lunch and went back to the hotel. I started getting ready for tonight's event while Teddy started packing her bags.

I had the news on while putting on the dress. They were talking about rolling blackouts. I thanked god it had not happened here yet. I checked my make up one last time "this is as good as it gets" I said to myself. I grabbed my purse and walked towards the elevators. I entered one of the elevators and just when the door was about to close someone stopped it with their foot. "I said wait for me didn't you…" she stopped talking when her brown eyes met mine "hear me…" she smirked

I blushed and my heart started beating faster "No…I'm…sorry" I whispered and flashed my dimples. She was the most gorgeous woman I had ever seen. She was tall and had long raven hair. She had a curvy body and golden brown eyes. I glanced at her and she glanced back with a smile. We locked eyes for a few seconds. Oh those eyes. She gulped like she was going to say something but just then it all went dark and the elevator stopped.

"No no no no no! This can't be happening! I'm late…" she shouted and pressed the button numerous times, it didn't work so she pulled up her phone from her purse "damn it! I can't get a signal…" she turned and looked me and her facial expression changed from pissed to worried she grabbed my arm to get my attention "Hey are you okay?"

I started to panic. It started getting hard to breathe. I looked into her beautiful brown eyes. Crap. I'm screwed. "This is not good! Okay I hate elevators, especially when I'm stuck in them when it's THIS hot" I said.

She grabbed me gently by my shoulder "Breathe….Breathe…Breathe…" she said slowly.

Her warm hands on my skin did not help my nerves. "I don't want to I'm going to take up all the oxygen" I said and sat down on the floor.

"No you're not. Everything is going to be okay I promise. This has happened to me before and it's no big deal. The power will come back soon and we'll get out of here. So all we can do is to calm down and wait" she sat down beside me and pulled out a water bottle from her purse and held it in front of me. I took a few sips and gave it back to her "thanks" I smirked. "You're welcome…"

"Oh I'm sorry I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Arizona Rob...erts" I can't tell her my real name. I reached out my hand "Oh sorry, hi Callie Torres, It's a pleasure to meet 'ya" she smiled. My eyes quickly ended up at her lips and then I faced the elevator door.

We just sat there for a few minutes. The awkward silence was unbearable. Especially when we kept glancing at each other. She was the one to finally break the silence.

"You look nice by the way, why so dressed up? If I may ask" she said playing with the cap of the water bottle.

"Thank you. And yes you may. Uh there's this charity event down stairs that I was going to. I hope I won't miss it" I didn't know where to look so I glanced at my watch "And it has already started…"

"Oh charity…interesting. What cause?" she took a sip of the water

"I'm working with this organization that helps families in Africa. We set up camps and get pro bono doctors and other staff to feed and help people with medication, surgeries and other treatments that they can't afford or don't have access to"

"Oh wow! That's fantastic!" she said and looked intrigued.

I blushed "Yes it is, but it's a long way to go. It's a lot of work to finance this. To make everything work. Of course I have a big staff that helps me with it in a few countries. But without the money we can't do anything. So hopefully we'll get some donations this evening"

"Well I think it's great that people do this kind of work. I am an orthopedic surgeon and I've done some pro-bono surgeries. And I love it to be able to help people. I mean how do you guys work?"

"You are a surgeon?" I asked surprised and she smiled nodding "yes I work at a private practice in town"

"Uh we have a few teams down there that works with all the different areas, but mostly with the medical. And then when we have special cases we try and bring them here or to one of the other countries that's part of this and give them the surgery that they need"

She shook her head in disbelief "That's I don't know what to say…awesome!"

I started giggling "Awesome huh?"

She looked confused "What's wrong with awesome?"

"Nothing…I just thought it was just me that used that word" I smirked

"Well guess we are two now" she drank the last water in the bottle "Damn it is hot in here…and I'm running really late" she grunted.

"I know me too…" the sweat was pouring down my forehead and I felt totally disgusting.

"Please please pretty please can you please just turn on the power again?" she pleaded

I giggled once again "Who are you talking to?"

She started laughing "I don't know, God? This heat is making me insane"

We both started to laugh and as if God were listening the light was turned on and the elevator started again.

"Wohooo!" She shouted and reached out her hand to help me up from the floor. "See God likes me"

"I suppose so" so do I.

"Uh so thank you for the company. Oh and here's my card, if you ever need help with your organization. I am. It was nice meeting you Arizona Roberts" she smirked. I flashed my dimples once again "Nice to meet you too Callie Torres" and then she was gone. I looked at the card Oh I am so going to use that…
