I owe nothing all the characters belong to Shonda Rhimes.
She felt it first a little prickle of someones leg intertwined with hers, its what she does nowadays. She goes out finds someone to sleep with for the night and wakes up in the morning to hopefully having the one night stand gone and well out of her way. Being the Type A workaholic that she is, there really isn't much time for unwanted relationship drama.
"Well this was fun while it lasted huh?" A soft but husky voice asked
"It sure was" the blonde reply'd
"I should get going, i know about your reputation and i know your not one to make breakfast for your lady lovers in the morning" The pretty redhead said while getting up and putting her now ruined thong on.
"That's probably for the best" Arizona said while looking at the time next to the bed; It read 4:30 meaning she still had time to go to the gym and get ready for her first day of her new job as CEO
"Well i'm Carly" the redhead said as she extended her hand out for Arizona to shake
"Arizona" The blonde said shaking the redheads hand
"Oh i know! you made sure i knew your name last night, before you got me into your king size bed" Winking Carly walked out of her room and out of the blondes way.
life really was starting to be simple for Arizona Robbins. Becoming a new Co Owner of one of the biggest hotel chains also boosted her self confidence, the amount of zeros she had in the bank account were quite the accomplishment that she as well as her proud parents were very found of.
She got up put some work out yoga pants on, as well as her favorite black and white sports bra and hit the treadmill, she ran for a solid hour and a half, until she was out of breath. Doing her normal routine she jumped into the shower, and washed the events of the night before off. She then planned a killer business suit to wear that would really give her a few points with the ladies and prepared her everyday breakfast shake. Arizona Robbins wasn't always like this, there was a time when she was the biggest procrastinator who was laid back and let people walk all over her, she let people see her fun and perky side instead of the tough demeanor she now puts on, she was loving and warm but being loving and generous and warm brought her heartbreak it let her be more exposed and the thought of someone walking all over her again scared her to death.
A white blouse with some black suit pants on, hair curly with her mothers necklace resting in between her breasts, Arizona Robbins was ready to go be the awesome business woman that she all of these years strived to be.
She got into her White BMW and sped off, it felt nice to not be able to worry about her financial situation, she had enough money that she could buy whatever she wanted, she didn't have to worry about kids. Because as far as she was concerned they weren't anywhere in her foreseeable future. She remembered that there was a time where she did want to settle down and have kids. She wanted to whole big house with a white picket fence and dogs with four little children running around. But That just wasn't who she was anymore.
She pulled up into her exclusive parking spot, put her sunglasses on top of her head and walked into the building that would now consume her every day life.
As soon as she walked through the door a perky redhead looking lady ran right up to her extending her hand
"Mrs. Robbins! so glad to have you aboard! i'm April Kepner, Chiefs assistant"
Giving out the biggest smile that she could possibly come up with April took the new CEO's hand and gratefully shook it
"Nice to meet you April" She gave the redhead a nice firm shake and a bright dimpled smile
"If you'd follow me, the board is waiting for your arrival"
They walked to the elevator discussing some new things about the hotel company when April started speaking
"You know we have a new chief, it was a last minute decision but Carlos really wanted to appoint his daughter chief because he thought that it was time for her to shine or whatever that means, so this place is basically run by ladies... With the exception of Mark Sloan who is the only male CEO of this company"
"I didn't know Carlos had a daughter! i did hear about the rumors of the new chief but i didn't except it to be a woman!" This day was just getting better and better, there wasn't anything that could bring the blonde woman down. And god knows Arizona loved women in power
They walked off the elevator and April showed her the way to the boardroom, as soon as she walked into the room, she could've sworn her heart stopped beating. And it wasn't in the romantic sappy kind of way.
There in front of her stood the woman who shattered her heart into a billion tiny pieces, she was wearing a white pencil skirt with a black blouse, contrasting her with her outfit. She looked more beautiful then ever her long caramel looking legs, looking as if they'd go on for miles, and her long but straight raven hair cascading past her shoulders. All hopes of Arizona never having to see this woman again went out the window, because as soon as she saw the sign that was implanted in front of the Latina, with the words Chief, she knew that the woman who broke her heart 8 years ago was apparently her boss.
She couldn't move, all she wanted to do was glare and yell at the beautiful Latina who still hadn't seem to notice her, but instead she took a seat next to her card that read CEO Robbins. Arizona knew that the beautiful woman in front of her must have known she was going to be one of the CEO's and how her demeanor seemed so calm. Well that fact Arizona couldn't get over.
Callie sensed her before she even walked into the room, she couldn't look at her though. After all these years and all the tears that she knew she brought the woman, she still couldn't look her in the eye. She read about the famous bed hopping millionaire Arizona Robbins and every day for the past 8 years longed for her. She however made mistakes, mistakes that she knew one Arizona Robbins would never forgive of, so she fled and left the poor blonde woman alone at a time that she shouldn't have. Till this day Callie still won't forgive herself for the huge mistake she made 8 years ago.
The room was silent until Mark started speaking introducing all three Owners to the group of people that were in the meeting. Callie looked Arizona's way hoping to look at the beautiful blonde woman. But Arizona wouldn't make eye contact. She still looked as stunning as ever, her blonde hair was a little bit shorter, cascading down and past her shoulders in beautiful waves, her body was more firm more masculine but the weight loss was apparent. Her innocent ex lover didn't look so innocent anymore instead she looked more badass, and oozed of authority. In their time together Callie was usually the top, but now thinking about it Callie wasn't sure Arizona liked being bottom very much.
She kept telling her to snap out of it and to stop staring at Arizona, checking her out. All she wanted to do was take the woman into her arms and pretend that the past 8 years of her life didn't happen, that they were still those 22 year olds loving each other and loving life. But she kept on looking, hoping that those blue eyes would look back at her and all she would see is love shinning in them. But boy was she wrong the one time she caught Arizona's glance she could tell just how unhappy and upset with her the blonde still was. She would take a slap from a tennis player any day over the glare that she was receiving from her ex lover.
After the meeting was over Callie followed Arizona out of the boardroom, it surprised her that the blonde knew where she was going, because the next thing she knew she was being shoved into Arizona's office, the blonde quick to close all the shuttles against the glass window.
"Tell me this is some sick joke" Arizona said her voice dripping in venom "Tell me i am being punked right now" She kept going as the volume of her voice started to increase "Tell me that the woman that broke and shattered my heart, and changed me into a monster isn't standing right in front of me" Callie stood still not knowing what to say, even if she could say anything its not like the blonde would let her "Tell me that this is a joke and your not actually my boss"
"Ari..."
"DONT YOU DARE SAY MY NAME" finally the blonde lost it "FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS, I HAVE BEEN A SHELL OF A WOMAN BECAUSE OF YOU"
"Arizona please lets talk about this somewhere else"
"I CANNOT BELIEVE I AM LOOKING AT YOU RIGHT NOW…. All this time all I've tried to do is forget you, I changed because of you Calliope Torres you RUINED ME"
Hearing her full name come out of the blondes mouth did something to Callie, it made her that much more sensitive to the situation and all of the sudden her mistakes started rushing through he head. Even though Callie Torres would do anything to go back in time and make it right with Arizona she knew that it was too late.
"Ari… please hun just let m…"
"DO NOT CALL ME THAT! AND NO GET OUT, GET OUT OF MY OFFICE... AND DO ME A HUGE FAVOR STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME. UNLESS ITS BUSINESS RELATED DO NOT EVEN MAKE EYE CONTAC WITH ME"
Callie knew the tears were about to come coming, but she turned around straightened her skirt and walked out the door, thankful that all the associates weren't on the floor, she walked away to the nearest bathroom crouched down and let the tears spill, she opened the toilet lid and emptied that mornings breakfast out.
As soon as the door gently closed, the tears started falling. As hard as she tried to hold them in they kept coming, her strong appearance gone and now replaced with smudged mascara, Arizona was mad. She was mad at Callie and mostly at herself for letting the woman still have such a strong hold over her. Mostly she was mad at the universe because the one person who hurt her most in life, was now her new boss who she would for the remainder of her life would have to work under.
