Arizona arrived at the bar of her hotel. When she walked in, she signaled the bartender and ordered a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. As the bartender wad fixing her drink she glanced around the bar and spotted a beautiful woman on the other end of the bar. She was throwing back shots and appeared to be upset about something. Arizona immediately found herself drawn to the woman, so when she got her drink she made her way to the other end of the bar and took a seat on the stool next to her.
"Hi, I'm Arizona. Arizona Robbins. And you are?" Arizona said.
"Not really in the mood for company," the woman said taking another shot.
"Okay, fine, I'll just sit here quietly and allow you to drink in piece, Calliope Torres," Arizona said.
This caused the woman to look up immediately and give her a hard stare. "How do you know my name?" Arizona smirked and pointed at the license that Calliope had left sitting on the bar. She immediately grabbed her license off the bar. "Stalker much?"
"It's not stalking if you leave it on in the bar in plain view," Arizona told her matter of factly.
"Okay incredibly nosy them," she responded.
"Well since I am already being nosy how about you tell me what is bothering you, Calliope."
"First of all what makes you think something is bothering me? Secondly don't call me that."
"Well the four shot glasses sitting in front of you tells me something is wrong and what would you rather I call you?"
"Everyone calls me Callie."
"Why would you want to be called Callie when Calliope is so much more beautiful and poetic? I like the way it rolls off the tongue. I don't care what everyone else calls you; I will be sticking to Calliope."
"Fine whatever."
"Okay good now that that's settled. How about you tell me what is wrong with you Calliope?"
"It's a long story."
"The nights still young and I have all the time in the world."
"Fine, but I'm going to need another drink," Callie said signaling the bartender. After she took another shot she began to spill the whole story. By the end of it she was pretty worked up. "And I don't even know why I married him in the first place. I guess I just thought he was on the good guys you know. It should have been clear to me in the beginning it wouldn't work. I mean it was clear when we were dating he had the emotional maturity of a twelve year old. The first time he ever told me he loved me was the day he proposed. And he always chose her over me throughout the entire relationship, both her and Meredith. I am not even surprised that he cheated on me with her. It's just I loved him with every part of me. I mean I was freaking Callie O'Malley!"
"Callie O'Malley?" Arizona questioned laughing.
"I know right. Why would I do that to myself if I didn't love him?" Callie said laughing herself.
"He was a jerk, and if he didn't recognize how lucky he was then forget him. You are still young, smart, and sexy as hell. Anyone would be lucky to have you, Arizona said placing her hand over Callie's.
Callie glanced down at their hands then into Arizona's eyes. "I'm sorry if I'm wrong about this. I mean it's been a while since I've been in a situation like this, and I'm not sure if I'm reading the signals right. So, I'm just going to ask you right out. Are you coming on to me?"
"And if I was?" Arizona asked.
"I don't know. This is a first for me," Callie said.
"The first time you've been hit on in a bar? I find that hard to believe," Arizona said with a raised brow.
"The first time I've been hit on in a bar by a woman," Callie answered.
"I guess it would be the first time for this, too" Arizona said leaning in and kissing her.
As Arizona pulled away Callie cleared her throat and nodded. "Yes that was definitely a first, too."
"Did you hate it?" Arizona asked.
Callie leaned in, kissed her again, and nodded. "You should always try something more than once before you decide whether you like it or not."
"And?" Arizona asked.
"I definitely didn't hate it," Callie said leaning in again.
Arizona smiled and kissed her again. "So I have a room upstairs that I can show you some other things that you definitely wouldn't hate."
Callie looked into her eyes and nodded. Arizona smiled, grabbed her hand, and took her up to her room.
