"Meredith Grey, you are a life saver. Remind me to give you a raise," Callie smiled looking over at the new spool of silk, now set in her office. "I thought I was going to lose sleep over this last night." She said taking a seat behind her large desk.

"I told you I'd take care of it." Meredith laughed taking her own seat before sliding Callie her morning cup of coffee.

"Ok, so I need you to have everyone ready to start these designs right away." Callie said taking a sip of the warm beverage in her white cup, and sliding over her royal purple leather design folder. "Have something delivered. Everyone has lunch on me today, I need everyone ready and focused."

"Already on it." Meredith came back, furiously typing on her phone.

Callie and Meredith didn't start of as friends, they didn't even really like each other to begin with. It just so happened, that they fell into each other's lives at the right moment. Callie was just starting out in her business venture, and Meredith had just ended hers. But, they realized they were more alike then they thought, and the rest was history.

"I also need you to coordinate with Arizona Robbins. She and her friend Teddy would like a photo shoot with me." Callie said almost embarrassed. She didn't do interviews, and she most definitely didn't do photo shoots. "I need two openings in my schedule, one to talk about the photo shoot, and one in case I actually do it." Callie said thinking about it.

"You have an opening this evening at four, and the only thing on your schedule for Thursday is a morning meeting at nine. It's a conference call, so technically I could just patch you in." Meredith said flipping through her planner.

"Perfect." Callie smiled, as she thought about seeing the blonde stranger who had invaded her dreams last night. "I really need to get this started." Callie sighed looking over at the fabric she had ordered. "Call Arizona, see if she's free this evening to talk. I'll forward you her phone number." She said getting up from her desk.

"Ok, don't forget you have a meeting at two with Elle magazine. I know how you get once you get lost in the fabric." Meredith smirked. "I'll go call Arizona now." And with that she left the large corner New York City office.

"Let's do this." Callie sighed as she began lining up her work space.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Arizona wrapped her small throw around her body tightly, as she wandered to the fridge. Her only class for the day, had been canceled, and so she had been allowed to go back to sleep. A rarity for her, considering her classes were early, and she was usually up studying when she wasn't working, or trying to have some semblance of a life.

She opened the fridge as her thoughts focused on a certain brunette she had met the day before. She never let anyone get under her skin the way this woman had. Not after her past being her past. And especially not someone she just met. She could admit she was a complicated woman, but there was something about the one Callie Torres that just made her want to forget her stupid insecurities, and past struggles.

Arizona Robbins doesn't date.

She doesn't do the whole hallmark bullshit idea of love. Not anymore. What's the point? She always just ended up getting burned in the end. And she definitely doesn't do romance.

Four, that's the number of failed relationships she's had. Four, is also the number of women who had cheated on her. This is what lead her to her way of life now. Or so she'd say that if you asked her. She didn't have relationships, she had hook ups. And she couldn't even begin to think of how her relationship with Lauren ended... The reason she had become as controlling as she had is because of that woman. Even the name made her heart sink. She had to protect herself, and her heart.

She has been single for just over a year now, but being single didn't mean no sex. It just meant, casual sex, with women she was interested in, if the mood struck. She had her regular hookups. She had a handful of women who she could call if the mood were to strike, and she needed to release some of that sexual energy.

She had very strict rules about the women she let become a "semi permanent" fixture in her life, though.

1. They were to know it would remain casual. No dating. They couldn't get emotionally attached that way. And because Arizona felt she had no emotion left to give.

2. If they were having sex with her, they were to be single. Arizona Robbins is not a home wrecker. Once they were involved with someone besides her, they were out of the running, that's just the way it had to be.

3. No romance. She had given up on the idea of romance since even before her last girlfriend. She doesn't do hearts and flowers, Lauren ruined that for her. Again, too much romance led to emotional attachment.

4. They didn't talk about what happened in the bedroom with others. Not that she was ashamed of her sexual activities, but her choice of sexual lifestyle wasn't for everyone. She understood that. Hell, this was still something fairly new to her too.

And 5. If someone got too emotionally attached, they were cut off. Wholly and completely.

It happened from time to time. Women would get attached, and Arizona would bail. She never had more than one woman at a time. If she was sleeping with you, that was it until either party moved on. This meant, more times then not, someone ended up getting too emotionally involved.

It's not that Arizona was this cold heartless woman, in fact she had a big heart. She would do almost anything for anyone. This way, just allowed control in all aspects of her life. She could control her classes, her study times, she could control her work out schedule, and work schedule. Now she could control her sexual life, and by default her heart.

Some people shied away from her life style. It's not like she jumped into bed and pulled out the handcuffs on the woman the first time she was with them. It was consensual, and they were very aware of what they were stepping into. Some, loved it. They came back for more over and over again. Some women, not so much.

God, she hoped Callie would be into it. Callie was the owner of several companies, so she obviously also liked to be in control, and in demand. Still, it's not like she had an actual real shot with this woman. Right now it was just a very elaborate dream.

Arizona sat on the couch with a bowl of cereal in hand before flipping on the TV. She could do whatever she wanted today, and it seemed as though what she wanted to do was be a couch potato, because she never had the chance to do that. Well, that and play out very vivid thoughts about a certain brunette.

Her thoughts only seemed to get stronger about a certain Latina, who she couldn't stop picturing in a lot of different scenarios. One of them actually shocking her, because she could see herself out on a date with this woman. But, Why was that?

She had come into contact with a lot of beautiful women, over the past year. and she never had the thoughts she was having now. She could see herself with Callie, at dinners, walking through the park, going to a movie. It had been a long time since she thought of any woman that way and it was slightly unnerving.

Her phone rang, bringing her out of her thoughts, thankfully, because she was about to drive herself crazy, over thinking a subject that didn't need to be over thought. There was really nothing to over think there. She met the woman once, she'd hopefully meet her again for the photo shoot, and maybe just maybe they'd be friends, and hopefully that would lead to her into hooking up with the woman who had crawled under her skin.

"Hello?" Arizona asked picking up her phone from the unknown number.

"Hello, Ms. Robbins?" A familiar voice she couldn't quite place came through.

"Arizona, please. But yes, this is she speaking." She said setting her bowl down in front of her.

"Hi. This is Meredith grey, I don't know if you remember me, but I'm Callie's assistant."

"Yes, hi. How are you?" Arizona smiled. How could she forget Meredith Grey, it was only yesterday the woman had hunted her down in the busy lobby of the Torres inc. building.

"I'm great, listen. Callie wants to talk to you about the photo shoot that you want her to do. She just has some questions. Her day is booked solid, but she has an hour to talk at four o'clock. I don't think she'll agree to the photo shoot without the meeting. Can you come in at that time?" Meredith asked.

"Um... Yea, sure." Arizona smiled. She was going to get to see Callie again, sooner then she thought.

"Awesome, you know where to go. I'll see you at four." Meredith said, a smile obvious in her tone.

"Ok, see you later." Arizona smiled before hanging up the line.

Well... This was an unexpected, but welcome turn of events for the day.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Cristina!" Callie said frustrated, throwing up her hands before resting them on her hips

"What?" The young Korean woman asked raising an eyebrow.

"I have ten minutes to come in here and look at all of the pinning I asked to have done, and this isn't where it's supposed to be pinned at all!" Callie said frustratedly, letting out a deep breath.

"Yes it is." She said in her monotone way.

"Look." Callie said picking up her original sketch. "I need this pinned here and here." She said moving a small slither of fabric down an inch and over to the right.

"Looks the same to me." Cristina mumbled as she went back to work.

Honestly it was fine the way Cristina had the fabric, it just wasn't exactly to Callie's liking. A thing for everything and everything in its place. At least in this room, in this world, where she had to maintain control.

She loved being the boss, it meant she could set her own schedule, work when she wanted to work, and she didn't have to answer to anyone. That was just her way of life. Sometimes though, she wished she could just let go, and not have to be in control all the time.

It just wasn't a possibility though, not here, not when she kept thousands of people employed. Not when she had several businesses that she had to keep afloat. Not that she didn't have an amazing team behind her. She hired the best, she worked with the best. But, at the end of the day it was her name on the line, it was her reputation at stake.

"Just fix it." Callie huffed before walking back to her office.

She was probably taking this out on Cristina and didn't need to be. She hated when she did that. But meeting after meeting of pompous jerks did that to her sometimes. She went straight into professional mode, and then found herself having a hard time getting back to the fun of it all.

"Callie your four o'clock with Arizona is in five minutes." Meredith rang through.

"Fine, send her in when she gets here. Thanks Meredith." Callie sighed.

She opened up her email, having only briefly scanned it this morning, since then she hadn't had a minute to herself. This was the easiest way to correspond with the gentleman she was working with in Las Vegas for the hotel opening.

He was an arrogant asshole, that one. She was surprised his head could fit through any door. He hit on her relentlessly the last time they had met, and she despised that. But, he was the best, so she put up with it.

It seemed to be, she worked mostly with assholes. Well, that was a depressing thought.

Moving her mouse cursor over the email Icon, she clicked twice, opening a slew of emails. She'd check what she could before Arizona for there. Clicking on the first email she saw, she began to read.

Callie,

The opening is going to go on as planned. We had a small issue with our liquor order but I took care of it all. We are still trying to fill the positions for spa management, but other than that, everything else is running smoothly. I look forward to seeing you. Maybe we can have that drink we were talking about once you get here. To discuss business, of course.

Richard

"What a tool. He's delusional talking about getting a drink." Callie thought to herself rolling her eyes. "I don't know why I put up with these assholes, I really don't." Her thoughts continued, as she let out an audible sigh.

She had to go oversee the final touches to the hotel, and do a brief appearance at the opening. After that she had to launch her spring line on the runway circuit. Once this line was launched, and she made all the necessary appearances, she was taking a nice long break. Her dad was right. She had been at this for five years, and hasn't taken a single vacation. That was going to change.

"Hey." Came a perky voice, bringing her out of her thoughts of white sand beaches and sangrias.

"Arizona, hello." Callie smiled. She was still feeling the tension of the day on her shoulders, but she was trying to let it go.

"Meredith said you wanted a meeting about the photo shoot." Arizona said as she walked toward Callie's large wooden desk. Her hair was curly today, just a soft wave, but it was beautiful as ever. And she wore a black dress this time. "She still looks delicious." Callie thought as her eyes tracked the blondes every move.

"I do." Callie said pressing herself up from her desk. "Meredith, can you bring in some coffee for Arizona and I?" Callie asked pressing a button on her desk. "Do you drink coffee?" Callie questioned the woman in front of her.

"Yes." Arizona answered simply with a nod.

"Sure thing. I'll be there in five minutes." Meredith's voice said trough a small intercom.

"Let's go sit over here." Callie said pointing towards a large seating area, before she started walking towards it. It was decorated in black leather furniture surrounding a black coffee table. It was slick and very modern looking. It looked like something straight out of a magazine.

"Sure." Arizona nodded as she walked behind Callie. She looked amazing in her tailored white suit, the pure white color contrasted beautifully against olive skin, and Arizona had to physically keep herself from drooling.

"So, what exactly where you planning for this photo shoot?" Callie asked crossing her legs.

"Well, the paper wants just a few shots of you. I actually have a friend who would do it, and you could have final approval of course." Arizona said as she got comfortable on the rather uncomfortable looking couch.

"I'm not a big fan of having my picture taken." Callie admitted.

Meredith interrupted them briefly setting down two cups of coffee, and an array of creams and different sugars.

"Thank you Meredith." Callie nodded.

"You're welcome." She smiled before making her quick retreat.

"I know, but I don't understand why. You're gorgeous." Arizona said, slightly distracted by her coffee. "I said that out loud didn't I?" She sighed feeling slightly embarrassed.

"You did." Callie smiled. "She thinks I'm gorgeous." She thought to herself, her heart jumping in her chest. "I'll do it for you, because Teddy is my father's friend's daughter. And, because for some reason I'm comfortable around you." She added locking brown eyes with blue. "And you're heaven to look at." She thought

"Thank you, really. I understand your reluctance, but I promise you don't have to do anything you don't want, and they'll actually be very simple pictures to pose for. Just you and a backdrop, and you can have final say." Arizona said, her tone giddy. She was excited Callie was agreeing to this, and that meant she got to see her again.

"It's quite ok. Actually I was thinking..." Callie started before she got cut off.

"Callie, Carmella is on the phone for you. She says its urgent." Meredith said walking into the office.

"Jesus this woman has perfect timing." Callie thought rolling her eyes. There was no way she could ignore a call from Carmella. Well, actually she could, but she wouldn't. Not if she wanted to keep a good relationship with the ice queen of the magazine world. "I'm sorry, I have to take this call." She sighed. "Just talk to Meredith to set up the shoot, will Thursday work? I have the whole day free." Callie smiled as she walked toward her desk.

"Yes. Thursday is... Thursday's perfect. I'll see you then." Arizona smiled as she started to make her way toward the door.

"See you then." Callie nodded before picking up her phone "Carmella, hi..."

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Seriously Arizona. I still don't know how you got her to do this." Teddy laughed as she helped set the backdrop for the pictures that were going to be taken that day.

"I told her she could have final approval of everything." Arizona shrugged with a smile.

"What time is she coming?" Leah asked, setting up her equipment and lighting.

"She should be here anytime." Arizona said glancing down at her phone.

She and Callie had a few text conversations about the upcoming shoot, they even did a little flirting. Callie Torres was danger, she made Arizona want to forget all her rules, and ask her out on a date. And not because she was Callie Torres fashion God, but because she was Callie Torres who sent a shock through Arizona's entire being, and she couldn't understand why. But she couldn't do that. She couldn't break the rules. Her rules were in place for good reason. At least that's what she spent the last year telling herself.

"Earth to Arizona." Teddy said waving her hands in front of her friends face.

"What?" Arizona asked focusing.

"I asked if you wanted to grab Chinese tonight. I have been craving chicken and broccoli since I could breathe again." Teddy laughed, glad to finally be over that stupid cold.

"Sure, Ya. Sounds good." Arizona smiled, but she wasn't looking at her friend. She was looking over her shoulder, because Callie walked in the room, and she swore she was glowing. Her perfectly tailored black suit hugged her in all the right places, and... "Wait, who was the man behind her?"

"Hey." Callie said with a smile purposely walking straight toward Arizona.

"Callie, hi." Arizona smiled. "This is my friend, and roommate Teddy. And this is my friend Leah, who will be your photographer today." Arizona said never once taking her eyes off of Callie.

"Hi." Teddy said with a knowing smirk on her face as she took Callie's hand.

"Nice to finally meet you. My father speaks highly of you and your dad." Callie smiled, ripping her eyes from Arizona.

"Hi." Leah smiled, although it didn't quite meet her eyes.

"Hello." Callie smiled reaching out her hand. "Looks like we'll be working together today." She said as Leah gently shook the offered hand. "This handsome man here is Mark." Callie said bumping him in the chest. "He is my friend, and security. Not that I need it here, but he's overly cautious." She laughed rolling her eyes.

"Ladies." Mark nodded and smiled.

"Hello." All the women said in unison, as he made his way to the back of the room.

"So, where do you want me?" Callie asked looking over to Arizona.

"In bed." Arizona found herself thinking. "Um... Just over there." She said pointing to the set up.

She was in so much trouble with this woman.

"Ok then." Callie smirked noticing a slight blush overtake Arizona's cheeks.

Arizona watched Callie's every move, she was stunning. This woman couldn't take a bad picture. They had been in the studio for about half an hour, and the time had passed in a blur. Callie was fantastic. She was energetic and funny, the camera loved her. Arizona couldn't understand the raven haired beauty's ambivalence toward this type of thing.

"She's pretty huh?" Teddy asked nudging Arizona with her shoulder.

"She's beautiful." Arizona smiled, pointing her eyes toward the ground.

"Well, she hasn't stopped looking at you either." Teddy smirked. She hadn't seen Arizona like this in a while, not since before Lauren. There was something there, something different about the way she was looking at Callie. It was refreshing to see.

"Whatever." Arizona said rolling her eyes. "I can't take my eyes off of her, I would have noticed that." Arizona sighed.

"Well look a little higher then my friend." Teddy teased. "Because her smile grows when she looks at you." She laughed.

No one but Mark noticed, no one at all because they weren't focused on it, but the entire time Callie and Arizona were focused on each other, Leah had been looking at Arizona. Any chance she got her eyes looked over to the blonde, and she didn't like how her blonde was looking at Callie or how Callie was looking at her blonde. She didn't like it at all.

"Ok, I think we have everything we need." Leah said in an even tone, she couldn't let her voice betray her.

"Awesome. It was fun." Callie smiled at her.

"Yep. Lots of fun." Leah forced a smile.

"Thanks for doing this Callie. It was really great. You didn't have to do it." Arizona beamed. Could she be any more obvious?

"It was actually fun. I'm sure you had something to do with that." Callie winked. "And it was very nice to finally meet you Teddy. We'll have to hang out sometime." She smiled before surprising everyone, herself included, and pulling the petite blonde into a hug.

"Yeah. That would be great." Teddy smiled, returning the hug.

"Get my number from Arizona. We'll make a day of it." She grinned.

"Sure! I'll talk to you later!" Teddy said practically skipping off.

"So.. I never do this, and I feel kind of like an idiot, but I was thinking maybe we could get a drink Friday night, I know this great little bar." Callie said quietly to Arizona as Mark kept an eye on Leah.

Had Arizona just heard her right? Was she asking her on a date? "I...I..." Arizona nervously fidgeted with her hands in front of her.

"It's just a drink date, Arizona." Callie coaxed feeling like she was about to get rejected.

Arizona wanted to say no. All of her rules about dating were swirling around in her head shouting at her to say no. Arizona Robbins doesn't date! But she couldn't say no. She tried, that's what she intended to come out, but that's not what happened, that's not what happened at all. "Yeah, sure." She said meekly.

"Great, I'll see you this weekend." Callie smiled, pulling her into a soft hug, before leaving this room, Mark trailing behind her.
