A/N: So, here is the brand new story which is inspired by a story line offered by my best friend. So, I thought to give it a try. It might sound unrealistic, but from my life I know that life is stranger than fiction. Moreover, I have my poetic liberty, right? This is probably the first sweetest story, I'm gonna write. At least, I plan so. Let's see…
By the way, I was planning to upload the story once I finish writing the epilogue for "Let it Go". But, one of my cutest readers BUNNY90 got impatient and she is sick too. So, I thought to make her little happy… so, Bunny dear, this is for you!
Chapter 1
"Callie, this is the last time, I am asking you." Lucia Torres says sternly.
"Please, mom. I am not ready yet." Callie almost begs.
"You will never be ready. You are 28 already and you are still not ready to settle down." Lucia replies while walking away from Callie's room.
"So what? I don't want to. And I hate when you make this a business deal." Callie says annoyingly while sitting on the bed kicking the warm blanket off from her body.
"Problem is not you being not married…problem is you having new woman everyday." Lucia says standing at the door.
Callie grabs the room intercom with full force and starts yelling, "where is my coffee? I will fire all of you right away…"
"You cannot talk to our employees like this," Lucia cuts her in.
"Stop lecturing in the morning, mom." Callie flops back on the bed again not giving her mom a second.
"Callie, you cannot keep doing all being reckless forever. Your daddy wants you to start taking over the business." Lucia says softly.
"I don't want to go to that boring office, mom. And what is the connection between getting married and looking after the business?" Callie asks almost yelling at her mom.
Lucia takes a long breath in, "Calliope, this girl is well accomplished- a Harvard graduate and already she has earned quite a reputation in the business field. She is coming with her mother tonight for a dinner."
"Must be a super nerd…" Callie snorts. "Super boring…"
"I haven't finished yet… so, if I don't see you at the dinner, I am going to freeze all your accounts from tomorrow." After this final warning, Lucia just leaves.
"Moooom!" Callie yells from behind. But, she knows that if Lucia has said something, she would do that. And Callie can imagine sitting or grouping with a business school nerd, but not a day without her cards. How will she live without booze and women. And women are costly, nowadays. Callie smiles mischievously on the thought of women.
"Okay, mom, I will make it sure that she does not say yes… and who does an arranged marriage?" Callie murmurs at herself before grabbing the phone to call Mark to cancel their night outing. "I cannot believe that the famous Callie Torres will even meet someone to marry…" Callie huffs and then suddenly starts giggling, "arranged marriage? A gay arranged marriage? My mom can only imagine this."
Lucia comes down to the dining hall to join her husband Carlos.
"What did she say?" Carlos asks not looking up from the newspaper.
"I had to warn her." Lucia says frustrated. Callie has been always reckless and a typical womanizer. Every night she would go out with new woman and she never seems to fall in love with any of them. More than the business, Lucia worries about the future of Callie. The way she is, she would never settle down and for that Callie needs someone, who can leash her down. And Lucia has a feeling that the girl, whom she has chosen would be the one, who can tame Callie. Moreover, of course both Carlos and Lucia want Callie to take care the business soon, for which Callie is never ready.
"I still think, we should not do this to her." Carlos brings Lucia back from her thought.
"I just want to try. it is not that I am going to force her to marry somebody she does not want to. But Carlos, you know how our daughter is. I worry about her. I worry that someday she would regret her life… and we need to make it sure quickly…"
"I know, but…"
"Carlos, you know my reasons…"
"Let's see how it goes." Carlos certainly does not seem to be convinced. Callie is kind of their eyeball. He does not want Callie to do anything, for which she is not ready for. But, deep inside him, he too knows that Lucia is right. The wealth and luxury of life have spoiled Callie to the best. Callie is all about party, friends, women, sex, and alcohol.
"Cal, your mom went crazy." Mark shouts over the phone.
"Mark, reduce your over acting." Callie replies annoyingly while sipping into her coffee. "Ewww…"
"What eww?"
"The coffee..."
"Callie Torres and coffee? Already practicing to be decent even before getting married?" Mark makes a teasing tone.
"STOP it Mark. Mom has a new rule that I cannot have alcohol during day time. otherwise, she will freeze my account."
"This one threat, she has been giving you since your birth." Mark snickers.
"Yeah…I know, but this time she looks very serious. I am little worried."
"So, aren't you coming to the night club?"
"I told you that I have to be at home."
"Then I also cannot go." Mark says in a defeated tone.
"You go. Who is stopping you?"
"Who will pay for me?"
"You are such a loser Mark. Okay, I will call the manager at the night club and he will put your bill on my name."
"You are such darling." Marks says excitedly.
Callie drops the phone and concentrates on her video game. She is very annoyed at Lucia, but at the moment, she just does not want to mess with her mom. Lucia is behaving very weird and the way, she is after her marriage, Callie could sense something is wrong, for sure.
"Okay…anyways….I just need to make it sure that my account is running smoothly…" Callie starts thinking about the new girl, Penny. Well, she is not that pretty, but seems to be very loyal. And Callie likes loyal people. The best thing about Penny is that she does not make much fuss about anything. BUT, Penny is great in bed- the sex is just mind-blowing. "Sex is good, but I just don't feel that something with her… or with anybody else." Callie again concentrates on her games shaking her head in attempt to get rid off any serious thoughts. Callie never allows herself to dwell into any seriousness about relationships. She hates to be loyal to be one person. In fact, she never has found anyone, who could keep her interested for a long time.
"But, I can try to have that nerd for a night. How do they taste?" Callie smiles big showing up all her teeth on her own. "Nerds should taste fresh."
"Callie, they are here. Could you please come down?" Lucia calls from the door and leaves.
Callie gives herself a last look at the mirror, "you are too beautiful, Callie… ready to nail that chick…" She gives herself a winning smile. Throughout whole day, she has convinced herself that maybe in this way she will get to have a new woman for tonight. She is irresistible, she knows it too well. No one can say NO to Callie.
While climbing down, Callie stops at the top of the last round of stairs and peeks at the hallway. She sees the back of two women-both are blonde. Between them one is younger. Aha! She likes blondes… she takes one step down and the young woman just turns her face to Callie, although she has not seen Callie yet.
As soon as Callie sees the girl from the top of the stair, the first thing Callie remembers is the slap- the tightest slap she has ever had in her life. Unconsciously she touches her left cheek and moments later her face cracks into a mischievous grin while murmuring, "Oh! Virgin Mary- the Arizona Robbins! … in my house!"
