CHAPTER 1

It was a sunny afternoon in Seattle, and Callie Torres was laying on the bed, staring at the sky with her head upside down. She was waiting for her best friend Addison to arrive, but she was late, as always. She didn't like waiting, but she had already resigned to the idea that Addison would never be punctual. For the sake of killing time she decided to listen to some music and settled with a song that mixed funky with Latin hot atmospheres, the volume so high that she began wondering how long it would take for the cops to arrive to her house. "God I love this song" . She couldn't stay still while listening to that music, and starting from her hips she was soon dancing passionately all around the house, from the bathroom to the kitchen. She grabbed the first thing she could use as a partner, which actually happened to be a broom. She was in that very moment shaking her ass against the broom and smirking at it: "And I'm here right here moving… cause it's the eeeAaaaaddison!" And there she was Addison giggling beside the door, her arms crossed, and her eyebrows reaching a dangerously high spot that was unlikely to have been reached by any person before. When she had finally gained enough breath to make a proper speech she said to Addison:

"You know, the doorbell was invented for a reason."

At that point Addison couldn't contain herself anymore and bursted into laughters: "Hahahah what were you doing?"

"None of your business! And why do you think I was doing that? You were supposed to be here like 45 minutes ago!"

"Oh c'mon! You know how they say, punctuality is a virtue of bored people"

"Suck it!" Callie said squeezing her friend with fingers and laughing soon after she heard an "Ouch!" from her friend.

"So, should we go?"said Addison massaging her harmed arm. "Yeah let's go, let me take my bag"

"Can't wait to be there!"Addison exclaimed. Right then they heard the door slamming, and Callie turned to see her mother coming back home.

"Hi honey. Oh, Addison, so good to see you!"

"Hi Lucia, how are you?"

"Hi mum!" Callie screamed upstairs.

"I'm great, thanks. You? How's your family? It's been so long since the last time I heard from our mother!"

"Everyone's fine. We could have dinner all together one of these nights, what do you think?"

"Sure! And I might bring a guest…would that be ok?"

"Of course! Deal, then, I'll tell my mother"

Upstairs Callie was looking for her bag; when she 'd found it she checked herself on the mirror one last time. Since she'd found out about George two weeks ago she'd been pretty much of the time home, moping. But now she was decided to get over him, no more moping, that jerk didn't deserve her cry one single tear over him. Thanks even to Addison being the awesomest friend ever she'd somehow regained herself,and hell, she was going to have fun tonight! Smiling she climbed down the stairs, ready to leave: "Ok Ad, let's go"

"Bye Lucia, see you soon"

"Mum I'll see you tomorrow . Love you"

"Have a nice night out you two girls, oh and Callie wait a second, you're free tomorrow for dinner?"

"I guess so. Why?"

"Well, I'd like you to finally meet John. It's been a while now and he's impatient to know you" her mom said with a big smile.

"Yeah, that sounds great. He seems like a great guy, but I'm warning you, I'm gonna ask him lots lots of questions, just so you know. I want to make sure he's the right one for you."

"Hahaha mija do as you want but I can already tell you that he's the right one."

"I hope so" Callie said most sincerely with a smile.

"Anyway he invited us to a charity dinner, so we'll be out. Is that ok?"

"Yeah, I mean anywhere is fine. Bye mum"

Callie and Addison headed out towards the car, once entered it Addison was the first one to speak: "So, how does it feel?" "What?" said Callie confused.

"Meeting John"

"Oh John. Well it's not a big deal actually. She's been really happy since she met him. I mean I couldn't remember her smile since the divorce with my father, and lately she smiles all the time, you know. I'm just happy for her. And as for me…I'm okay. The divorce thing doesn't'affect me anymore, it's been so long. And eventually it turned out to be the best thing, they were destroying each other's life. And mine. It wasn't right. So the thing with Josh is really ok. She deserves some happiness. And it's the same with my father."

"Well it's good then. I promise we'll have the best of the nights tonight." Addison almost screamed, wide-smiling.

"Every night is the best if I'm with you. Thanks." They just shared a few more smiles and eventually they arrived to the beach. "Let's rock this party!"

"Anybody home?"

Arizona Robbins just entered the blue small house she lived in, and she was soon welcomed by her father's voice: "Arizona?"

"Oh, you're here? I thought you were working"

"Yeah, I hurried up, I have some things to do"

"You're gonna have lunch at home?"

"Sorry Ari, I'm really busy today."

"What about mum? Did she tell you when she's coming back from her journey?"

"She should be back within a week. And oh she left you a message on the mailvoice."

"I'll be upstairs if you need me" she said while kissing her father's cheek. Once in her room she threw her bag on the bed and went to hear the voice message: "You have 1 message recorded. BIP: Ari? It's mum, how are you doing sweetheart? Can't wait to see you. I'm landing on next Monday, I'll take a cab so you don't have to pick me up at the airport. Love you." Awwww how I miss her.

While she was deleting the message, her father came in: "You remember about tonight, right Az?"

"How couldn't I remember? You've been talking about nothing other than this. I'll be waiting for you in the car."

"Oh, YOU'll be waiting for me?"

"Yeah, wanna bet?" She knew quite well her father. He wasn't one to be late usually, but if he was going to attend some very important meeting, well…He used to begin preparing himself for the occasion hours before, hours full of changing clothes, emptying the wardrobe, shaving beard, re-shaving beard and experimenting all of the hairstyles he could possibily think of, almost like a bride on her wedding day. And yet he managed to be late every single time. "Of course!" He was about to add something when his phone rang: "Hello? Yes, it's Daniel Robbins speaking, oh really? I was coming anyway, if you wait a few minutes…" Her father walked out of the room and gestured Arizona to follow him. They were in the kitchen when he hung up the phone: "Ok I gotta go. Here's some money in case you need anything. See you tonight" he said with a hug and then walked out the house. "He's so cheesy these days" she thought letting out a laughter. She had a quick lunch and hurried to her friend's house, Teddy. They lived just ten minutes from each other, and spent most of the time together. "Ted? Are you here?"

"Yes come in Ari"

"You ready? I thought we could have a run and then would you fancy some shopping?"

"Sounds great. I keep thinking about last night by the way hahaha. I will never laugh enough about it" Teddy was almost bent on her knees laughing, and that made Arizona burst into laughters, imitating Teddy. After a while they were able to talk again, and the first one was Arizona: "Yeah I guess they wont' forget much soon about Miss Boiling Cheeks, uh?"

"You bet it. I would say that was one of our worst poor figures ever…Well, until now I dare say" she added with a grin. "Thanks Teddy, that's very comforting from you"

"Haha anyway, let's go".

That summer was particularly hot, and Seattle was a total mess, billions of cars around the city and noises coming from everywhere. Just a little far away from all the skyscrapers, though, reigned a kind of summery peace. Arizona loved summer, winter was all gloomy and dark.

"Can you hear the birds?"

"No, but I can hear you panting" Teddy joked. As to answer Arizona gave her a flick and let out a chuckle.

"So, are you excited about tonight? Be honest."

"Uumh a little, yes"

"Just a little?" Teddy insisted.

"Yeah ok, I maaaay be very excited, but it's no big deal, let's just forget it"

"As you wish!"

They kept running for a while, enjoying the gentle breeze that blowed, chatting all the time. Eventually they parted, and Arizona went home to prepare herself for the night. She had a bet to win.

"Children of Malawi" was an annual event that always attracted a big amount of people. Callie and her mother entered the building that housed it, both looking wonderful. They began looking for John, but apparently he wasn't there yet. Callie wore a red tight dress that caressed her body in a delicious way, catching the attention of most of the people in the room. This last one was finely decorated with colourful paintings made by children, the music was loud and on each table there was a considerable amount of cocktails.

"Callie, there is something I need to tell you…" her mother began "I didn't tell you before because…" she was interrupted by some women greeting her.

"Mum I'm gonna get a drink, would you like anything?" "A glass of red wine, mija, thank you"

Callie was making her way to the bartender when she received a message from Addison: "How is it going?"

"Didn't meet him yet" she texted back.

"Hi. Can I have a glass of red wine and some seltzer water please…"

She turned around to look at the room when her eyes fell on a beautiful girl just across the room. Just the sight of her made her heart skip so many beats that she had to beat herself on the chest and make sure it still worked. Jeez, she's…marvellous. It never happened to her before, to just see someone and feel that way. And yet, there she was, every part of her body reacting to that sight. While drooling over her, Callie didn't notice that the girl was approaching her Oh fuck, what do I do? She tried to regain herself as much as possible, pretending to look away.

"Hey" the girl said, flashing a big smile. Here she is, she's more than marvellous… She realized she'd been staring for a while, so she hurried to say something "Hey" giving her a smile.

"I believe we haven't been introduced. I'm Arizona Robbins. Very pleased to meet you" and she said that showing all of her 32 teeths, moving her lips in a delicious chase of lights and shadows that reached a pair of beautiful dimples. Callie shook her hand that was now in front of her.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Callie, Callie Torres." She always liked thinking that she could get something from a hand-shake, like vibrations or something. But this time it was like receiving a jolt of electricity, and the feeling left her speechless. But just then, that particular moment, her mother came and addressed them. Well, what a perfect timing you have, mum. "Oh, you two are here?"

You two?

"Callie, this is what I was trying to tell you before… She's Arizona Robbins, and she's the daughter of John. My John. So, basically… you can consider her as your sister from now on. I'm sure you'll go along very well."

Sister. Sister. Sister. What? That word kept echoing in her mind. She wasn't able to say anything, and she focused on what she held in her hands. Swallowing her drink, she hoped this was some kind of joke.
