Obviously most characters belong to Grey's Anatomy. I've never written one of these before, just recently decided to try it for fun and see how it goes. I figured, why not put it up? I'm new at this, so I welcome any feedback. I'm not completely sure where it's going to go yet, and this first chapter especially was just me writing as inspiration struck. I rated it M to be safe for where I take it and the language I know I may use.
"Oh, there she is!" Teddy smacked Callie on the arm as she stood on her tip toes and waved through the crowd.
Callie had no idea how she had been suckered into accompanying Teddy to pick up her friend. Well, actually, she knew exactly how: her terrible rock, paper, scissor skills were to blame for her current position on the train platform with Teddy. Mark suggested the game when neither of them had responded to Teddy's request for company. And Callie, unfortunately, had lost. So here she was, with Teddy, on the first day of their break, picking up her friend who was transferring to Harvard for med school in the fall. Callie had wanted to spend her first day of break with her boyfriend, but he had gone on a last minute lake trip with some of his fraternity brothers. Without even telling her. Sometimes she wondered why she ever went back to men in the first place.
Just as that thought crossed Callie's mind, she felt someone walk up to where she and Teddy were standing. Looking up, Callie immediately lost track of any thoughts in her head as her eyes were met with the bluest ones she had ever seen. A chill shot down her spine and her stomach flipped as she took in the perfectly dimpled face of the blonde woman in front of her.
"Earth to Cal!" Teddy's voice quickly snapped her out of her daze and she noticed that not only had she been staring at the beautiful blonde, but had also allowed her mouth to hang slightly open while doing so. She realized, however, catching a glimpse of the woman's expression that she hadn't seemed to of minded. She almost looked as if to be gawking right back, Callie noticed before feeling a rush of heat rise to her cheeks as she thrust her hand forward at the woman who was now biting her lip at her slightly. No, she must be imagining that. 'Get it together and say something already!'
"Hi, I'm Callie! Torres...Callie Torres. Sorry, my mind was completely somewhere else for a second..." She kicked the ground with her foot, trying to hide her obvious embarrassment and avoid the side-eyed "you're acting crazy" look she knew she was getting from Teddy. Neither of which seemed to matter as a soft hand slid into her own, stilling her arm and causing her to become suddenly very aware of her heart pounding in her chest. Callie could honestly say she had never felt so completely flustered by a person she had just only met. She couldn't really help herself, as soon as her eyes had met those bright, deep, blue ones. Something about just this woman's presence set Callie on edge, but in the best way possible.
"Arizona...Robbins..."
'What a name!...stop it, don't stare again...'
"Nice to meet you," her dimpled smile widened into a genuine grin that made Callie weak in the knees. "And don't worry, my mind is somewhere else more often times than not, you're not alone, I'm right there with you."
Callie felt her own smile widen at the other woman's words. A small laughed escaped her lips as she realized she was still holding the soft pale hand of the blonde in her own tan fingers. Releasing it with an apologetic nod, she opened her mouth to say more, but was quickly cut off by the jarring sound of her cell phone going off in her back pocket. Pulling it out, Callie could see her boyfriend Chris was calling her.
"Sorry, let me just take this real quick..." and with that she turned away from Arizona so she could find an area less crowded to hear whatever it was her boyfriend was sure to be complaining about. He wouldn't call her from a trip unless he had something to bitch about. It was moments like this Callie really wondered why she was with him. Sure, he was fun, but he really had no substance. Maybe that's exactly what Callie had wanted at the time when they began dating six months ago, but she felt like she had run her course with Chris. They didn't have much in common, and they didn't even have the same friends. His were too wild and, if she was being honest, dumb, to interest her. Chris had never shown any interest in getting to know Callie's friends, and she never really felt the need to push the issue. That right there was enough to tell her what kind of relationship they had. It was definitely time for a change.
"Hey babe..."
Arizona stepped off the train with a huff. The ride from Colombia had been annoying. 'Sure, take the train' she thought. 'A plane from New York would be silly' she said. Well, she, Arizona Robbins, was an idiot sometimes. With the price being roughly the same, she decided right then and there that she would never chose train over plane ever again. Truth be told, she really had decided halfway through her trip, either way, technicalities aside, the decision had been made. She didn't think anyone had ever been so excited to be in Boston. Hell, someone'd be hard pressed to find anyone more excited to be anywhere than she was to be in Boston right now.
After finding her bags in what had to be the slowest moving luggage carousel known to man, Arizona made her way up and out of the train terminal and breathed in what felt like the first bit of fresh air her lungs had seen in hours. She was so done with this trip. She was done with the train, done with travel in general, done with New York, ready to start something new. Trying to keep her terrible mood at bay since Teddy had texted her to let her know she had a friend with her, Arizona looked around to see where they were. Spotting her taller blonde friend waving over the mass of people, she began to make her way over to where she stood. Next to her friend stood someone she couldn't quite make out in the crowd except for a head full of beautiful raven-black, long, flowing hair. As she got closer, she began to see that that beautiful hair cascaded down the perfect chest of what had to be the most stunning Latina woman Arizona had ever laid her eyes on. Correction: she had to be the most stunning woman Arizona had ever seen, Latina or otherwise. Her eyes landed on dangerously full lips as the chocolate eyed sex on a stick woman lifted her head to look up. The way those lips hung slightly open almost made Arizona lick her own in response. The only thing that stopped her was Teddy patting her on the shoulder as she was introduced. At least that's what Arizona assumed Teddy was doing because she wasn't listening at all. Why was the brown eyed beauty staring at her like that? No, she couldn't be, Arizona must have just been tired from her journey.
'Still though...' she thought as she looked into those brown eyes that seemed to have changed to a darker color in the past couple of seconds. It was all she could do to hold back her lip licking and instead opted to just bite her lip instead as she saw the gorgeous woman in front of her offer her hand. She had to hold her breath while taking the tan hand as all of the warmth from the Latina's palm seemed to spread over Arizona's entire body, landing deep in the pit of her gut.
As the woman, Callie, 'I wonder if that's short for something...stop..focus,' explained her mind wandering, Arizona responded in kind, but was really just trying to focus on not staring at those mind blowing, deliciously tantalizing lips. She felt a jolt as the Latina finally let go of her hand. To be perfectly honest, Arizona hadn't even realized they were still touching, but immediately felt something missing when they were no longer doing so. Waiting for what Callie might say next, she felt her heart sink when the other woman's phone began to go off. It jumped right back up into her throat however, upon the brunette turning around and revealing to Arizona how utterly perfect her ass looked in the black jeans she was wearing.
"Ooookay, I'm going to have to ask that you at least say hello to me before you go gawking at my friend's ass, Arizona. I know she's gorgeous and all, but I have been your best friend for some years now, and I did just come and pick you up at the train station...and then, ya know, there's the whole thing of me bringing my hot, hot friend for you to SHAMELESSLY gawk at!" Teddy nudged Arizona in the side and waved her hand in her face upon realizing her words were going to make no difference at all in the shorter blonde's mission to burn the Latina's pants off with her eyes.
Snapping back into reality, Arizona laughed and hugged her friend tightly. "I'm sorry Teddy, obviously I'm so so grateful and over the moon to see you! But I will say, you should have known what you were doing bringing a woman who looks like that with you to pick me up. I mean, I know you're not gay, but geeze, she is just not fair." She stole another glance at the tanned bombshell who now seemed to be arguing with someone on the phone.
"Yeah, well you may have that one right, because I can bet you any amount of money that the person she is arguing with on the phone right now is her jerk boyfriend."
'So she wasn't staring at me..' Arizona thought with a pout. Of course the hottest woman she had ever seen, who also happened to be her best friend's friend, was straight. She looked up at her taller friend and squinted her eyes, placing both hands on her hips.
"So you mean to tell me, that not only did you bring a drop dead gorgeous friend with you to pick me up, but said friend is also straight?! Mean, Teddy. Mean," she said with a shake of her head. Not that she was presuming anything with the sexy lady, but she would be lying if she said the word 'boyfriend' hadn't felt like a punch to the stomach for some reason. She looked down at her feet for a moment to try and hide her disappointment from her friend.
"Whoa whoa whoa, who said anything about her being straight?"
Arizona's eyes shot back up at this remark, "But you just..."
"I said she has a boyfriend at the moment. A jerk of one to be exact. And not to lay my friend's laundry on the line before you get to know her, but the way she was staring at you, combined with my complete and utter distaste for her current matchup, I'll give you some intel." Arizona leaned in at this, ready to hang on Teddy's every word. "She's had two past girlfriends...that I know of. One that I'm thinking was just for fun our freshman year, and one who completely crushed her before she ended up with the guy she's with now. Obviously everyone has randoms in-between." Teddy smirked and glanced down at her friend on the word random, clearly hinting at Arizona's own history of avoiding commitment. Rolling her eyes, Arizona urged Teddy to continue by poking her arm. "You get no more info about her past from me, but friend to friend, her boyfriend is so beneath her, it's not even funny, so all I'm saying is don't go pouting about it just yet."
Arizona had no idea why, but she suddenly felt incredibly excited. She didn't even know this woman, but just something about her made Arizona feel like a teenager again. She linked arms with Teddy and rested her head on her shoulder with a sigh "Oh, Teddy how could I possibly have anything to pout about when we are about to live in the same town and go to school together again? Medical school at that!" She could hardly contain her excitement.
"Yeah, it's going to be pretty great. I'm so happy you're finally here! And I'm so glad you decided to come for the summer so we can actually have free time to catch up and for you to get to know Boston and all of the great people here." Teddy squeezed their arms tighter.
"I just know it's going to be awesome. New town, new school, new people. Some of them unbelievably sexy apparently..." she said with a wink and a smile. A smile that faded as she heard the unbelievable sexy voice of the unbelievably sexy friend she had just been talking about from behind them as she had apparently finished her phone conversation without them noticing.
"Who's unbelievably sexy?" Callie had hung up on Chris when she had heard enough of his bitching and returned to stand behind the two blondes. Hearing the very end of their conversation, the brunette just had to know who the unbelievably sexy blonde found unbelievably sexy.
Both blondes turned, Arizona's face was bright red and Teddy's was plastered with the biggest of smirks as she shoved her elbow into Arizona's ribs, "Yeeeah, tell her Robbins...who is unbelievably sexy?"
Blue eyes met hopeful brown ones. Callie had a slight feeling (wishful thinking) who Arizona had been talking about. She could feel Teddy looking between them in anticipation. Knowing both women very well separately, Teddy was beyond amused watching them interact with each other in such a way. She had definitely never seen either woman the least bit shy or thrown off her game, and watching as both of them struggled had her twisted with internal giggles.
Arizona stood, looking into the most interesting brown eyes she'd ever seen. She never really gave brown eyes much notice before, but the way the afternoon sunlight was hitting the chocolate orbs facing her had her completely captivated, and she thought, 'what the hell.' Teddy had basically just given her an invitation to hit on her friend despite the boyfriend, and this being the first time she's ever even met Callie, that was good enough for her. So she took a step forward towards the waiting Latina.
Callie felt her breath hitch as the blonde moved closer. She could smell the sweet scent of Arizona's shampoo coming off of those soft blonde waves that fell just beyond her shoulders. She couldn't quite understand why, but in that moment, she desperately wanted to reach out and touch this woman she had only just met. She could have if she'd actually had the nerve to, the shorter woman had now moved so close to her, but all brain activity stopped with the words the blonde had moved closer to say.
"I think you know exactly who I was talking about..." And then she turned and continued to walk towards the train station exit leaving Callie standing with her mouth hanging completely open and Teddy laughing in amusement.
"What was that?! And WHAT is so funny?" Callie smacked Teddy's arm, still a bit stunned.
"That, was Arizona Robbins. And you can close your mouth now." Teddy pinched her arm and followed Arizona, leaving Callie to think about what just happened. She had not been at all prepared for that. She wasn't even quite sure how she felt about it. All she knew was she needed to remember to thank Mark for kicking her ass at rock, paper, scissors this morning. She wasn't quite sure what she would be thanking him for, but she had a feeling she would soon find out.
