She sat on top of the jaggedy rocks at the waters edge swaying her bare feet in the water below a small frown graced her lips as she watched the water sparkle with brilliance as it caught the light from the sun. Her eyes looked down to watch as her feet disappeared in the water and reappeared once back out of it.
Arizona jogged down the beach slowly as she had been for the last two weeks since moving here. She breathed in the fresh air deeply smiling at the wonderful sent of the salty air around her. Her eyes scanned over the empty beach taking in the calm feelings that it brought up, but paused when she caught sight of the beautiful woman sitting at the waters edge.
With a mind of their own her legs began to carry her over to the woman before her brain quickly caught up to what they were doing and paused just a few feet away from where the woman sat. She could only see the woman's profile, but knew without a doubt that she was extremely beautiful. Arizona stared taking in the woman's form slowly.
Her eyes gazed at what she saw of the woman's face taking in her long slightly curly black locks that flowed to just below her breast, her eyes lingered a moment on the mounds before slowly continuing to trail down her body. Arizona took in the sun kissed skin on the woman's beautiful curvy body and how the white dress she wore seemed to be just wrapped around her body tightly only to flow out near her calves showing a small part of toned legs that ended with her feet swaying in the water.
Something seemed to call her to the woman and she could do nothing to stop herself from closing in the distance between them so only a foot was between her and the gorgeous woman before her. She was silent hoping that maybe the woman would take notice of her presence.
After a few moments of silence had passed it seemed that she was going to have no such luck. Deciding she could no longer just sit and stare at the woman like some creepy she moved to introduce herself. "The water is beautiful isn't it?" she asked as she followed what the dark haired woman's gaze was set upon.
The woman sat in silence as though she did not even here the blonde. Arizona frowned at the lack of response slowly she turned to look at the woman sitting to her left to see that her eyes were still trained on the view in front of her. Determined that she would not be simply ignored the blonde once again attempted to engage the woman. "Hi, there." She spoke with a smile trying to get the woman to understand that she was simply a very friendly person. Seeing that the woman still had yet to acknowledge her she continued, "You don't speak very much do you?" her voice held a hint of amusement feeling silly for trying so desperately to gain the woman's attention.
She heard someone speaking closely to her, but kept her eyes set to the waters in front of her used to not paying attention to the world around her, but when she heard them speak of not speaking much she turned to them slightly confused. A blonde woman stood there to her right she looked around to see that the rest of the beach was empty like it had been when she first arrived. The blonde held an expectant look on her face a smile gracing her face revealing to dimples. "Uh, are you talking to me?"
Her confusion was evident on her face and seeing this made Arizona smile drop slightly before it grew slightly, "You are the only other person on the beach, you know." Her voice held a teasing quality to it that made the corner of the woman's lips tilt up ever so slightly.
"I see that. I'm sorry I am just not used to people speaking to me." Her answer was simple, but honest. And the blonde took a moment to get over the aw at hearing the woman speaking; it was one of the most captivating and addictive sounds she had ever heard.
The blonde nodded, "I see, well I guess I'm not like most people am I?" Arizona's smile brightened revealing her white teeth that glinted slightly in the light.
"No, I am assuming you are not. What are you?" the woman looked at Arizona as if she were trying to decipher a difficult puzzle.
Arizona slightly blanched at the question and looked down at herself. She wore a form fitting tank top with some yoga pants: her typical running gear; she did not see how there could be any questioning her gender. Her brows furrowed she answered, "Um…female. Like I'm assuming you?" the last part came out more as a question, but the other woman did not seem to be satisfied.
"No, I can clearly see that you are of the female gender, but I wanted to know what exactly you were…And who of course."
The blonde nodded slowly still unsure of how to answer, but took a shot anyway, "Well I am a lesbian I work as a pediatric surgeon here in the city and have just moved here. My name is Arizona. Arizona Robbins." She smiled dimples popping out full force.
The dark haired woman nods a moment taking it in before she spoke, "I see, guess you are unaware then." She stood up, feet still in the water, she turned to the woman a polite smile on her face she offered her hand. "Calliope." She answered simply. Arizona just beamed wider letting the strange comment she had spoken go as she shook the woman's hand lightly, taking note of how she stood in the water and her deep brown eyes.
"Well it's nice to meet you Calliope." She spoke as their hands met, but was surprised when the taller woman instead of shaking her hand, bent at the waist laying a small kiss on her knuckles.
"And it is a pleasure to meet you too, Miss Arizona Robbins. And please, you can call me Callie: many do." She smiled a spectacular smile at the blonde.
Arizona looked on stunned a moment eyes taking in the beautiful smile with a glazed over look to her eyes. "O…of course." She answered as Calliope let go of her hand letting it fall to her side limply.
Callie only responded with a slightly amused smile until she noticed that her abilities were affecting the smaller woman and growing slightly upset by this. Again she took on the contemplative look she wore previously as she turned to look at the waters that she called her home a small sigh escaping her lips.
Arizona blinked upset and slightly embarrassed that she had acted the way she did staring at the woman like she did. She shook her head riding herself of her dazed feel and tried to clear her mind. "You really enjoy looking at the water don't you?" her question was spoken softly as she watched Callie stare off into the waters once again seeming to get lost in her thoughts.
Callie nodded not turning back as she spoke, "Yes, it reminds me of the beauty that it truly is. I love to look at it from the shore like this otherwise you just forget." She shrugged lightly as she turned back around to face the woman who had to do a double take swearing that she had seen the woman's previously brown eyes an ethereal blue, but noticed that they were still the same soulful brown. Callie seeing this reaction tilted her head, but did not comment on it.
Arizona thought on the incident a moment longer before deciding she just had not had her morning coffee and the light played tricks with her unsharpened mind. "So Calliope would you like to join me for a coffee?" her voice was hopeful and Callie hated not being able to leave the confines of her home because it meant disappointing the woman.
"I can't." Callie frowned at her answer as the woman's face fell before her eyes.
"Oh, I see, well perhaps another time then." Arizona tried to be her usual optimistic self, but did not feel it at all.
Callie did not like the sadness she saw in the woman's eyes and looked up to the sky seeing them clear and wishing that it would rain sometime soon. "I would really enjoy if we could sometime." Callie smiled hoping that her answer would ease some of the woman's worries.
Arizona felt her hope soar within herself and could not help herself, but smiling in return of the brilliant smile that she was receiving from Callie. "That's awesome! It would be nice having a friend outside of the workplace or really meeting any new people around this town." She rambled slightly only stopping when Callie let out one of the most musical laughs she had ever heard and again she was awestruck.
"I am glad that you too will enjoy it." Callie smiled her eyes filling with amusement at the other woman's mini ramble.
Arizona smiled embarrassedly happy with the plans. Her alarm on her cell phone blaring caused both women to jump slightly quickly she reached for her phone eyes growing wide when she noticed that it was her reminder to be home. "I am so sorry I have to leave now if I don't want to be too late to work." She turned of her alarm looking back at the woman. "it was lovely meeting you, but I got to run: literally." She smiled one last time as she started to take off.
"Indeed it was lovely; until we meet again Arizona Farwell!" Callie waved after the woman as the woman smiled giving a wave back before turning back and running her fastest towards home. She watched until the woman was out of her sites before turning back to the waters that she had been looking at previously sobering herself she began walking into the depths he body dissipating as she entered her water home and became her spiritual self all the while her mind was on the mysterious stranger trying to guess at what she could be.
Arizona stopped midstride almost out of sight of the beach when she remembered that she had not given the woman her number or any contact information at all she turned hoping to be able to call after Callie and at least get a last name, but when she turned back the beautiful woman was all but disappeared from sight sighing glumly she continued on her way not wanting to be later than she already would be.
