Chapter 1
Arizona comes storming into the office, huffing and puffing. "Did you see that? I can't believe someone did that!"
"See what?" Teddy asks, as she places a file in the cabinet and turns back around to see a soaked Arizona Robbins.
Standing in the reception area, Arizona is soaking wet, from head to toe. Her hair is wet and she is reaching up to wipe a water droplet away that is getting ready to fall from the tip of her nose.
"Someone stole it! Completely stole it, right out from under me. The nerve of them!"
"Ok, the only thing I can think of that was stolen, would be your umbrella."
"Teddy! I'm not talking about my stupid umbrella. I'm talking about my stupid spot. My parking spot has been the same spot for ten years now. Nobody but me has parked there. Until today. Someone had the nerve to swoop in and take it, right when I was pulling up. I don't even recognize the stupid car either. Everyone around here has had the same car for years now. This car is some stupid, new fancy thing. Probably parked itself," Arizona huffs.
"If that's the case, is it really the owner's fault?"
"Teddy. I'm being serious here."
"Me too. If it parked itself, then maybe the owner had no control over it. You know, those new Teslas can drive themselves. The owners can play games and read while driving because they never have to touch the wheel. I know because I was watching some YouTube videos the other day on them."
"Why would you watch YouTube videos on cars driving themselves? That's stupid."
"You know, I've heard you say stupid more in the past two minutes than I have in two years."
"Because... someone took my stupid spot! And then I had to park a block away and walk in the rain!"
"Apparently without an umbrella. Why don't you get your thong out of a twist and go change your clothes? Remember, I made you start keeping a change of clothes in your closet after that patient puked on you."
"I remember. I'll be back. It's probably something two sizes too small," Arizona grumbles and disappears into her office. She comes back out a few minutes later, now in dry clothes. She has her hair pulled back into a ponytail and refreshed her makeup. "There. At least I'm dry now."
"Good. Your first patient of the day just walked in. And yeah, I think those pants are a little snug. Someone will appreciate it, just not me," Teddy says, shaking her head, laughing.
"Shut it," Arizona says, turning to see the mom and daughter in the waiting room. "Zoey, are you ready? We will see if those ears look better today." Zoey and her mom stand and follow Arizona into the room.
Teddy walks to the window and looks out to see what all the fuss was about. Sure enough, a shiny black car is sitting in Arizona's spot. "Yep, that happens again and she will lose her shit. She is one spoiled woman," Teddy mumbles, walking back to her desk as she sees the next young patient walk in.
Several hours later, Arizona's last patient for the day has left. She walks to the window and looks out. "That stupid car is still there. Did you see anybody around it today?"
"No. But, I did not stalk the car today," Teddy says amusedly. "I kind of had more important things to do. So I couldn't tell you."
"Well, you could have just happened to have been looking out the window and seen something, that's all. Oh...wait. Teddy, get over here," Arizona says, motioning for Teddy. "Look at her. That woman… she just walked out of that empty office space over there and she is heading straight for the car. Why would she be in there all day? There's nothing there."
"Got me," Teddy says, peeking through the blinds. "Hmm. She is hot. I'm surprised you are still hiding here and not out the door yet, shoving her into that fancy car so you can have your way with her."
"Shut up. But... she is hot," Arizona says, peeking back out through the blinds. "Very hot, actually," Arizona says, biting her lip. After a second of admiring, she comes back to her senses. "But that's no excuse for taking my spot."
"To be fair, your name isn't on that spot, Arizona. Other people can park there."
"Everyone has let me have that spot for ten years, Teddy. It's my spot. Everyone knows it."
"You're being ridiculous."
"No, I'm not, I... Get down!" Arizona says, shoving Teddy down below the window, causing Teddy to fall and hit her head, while also pulling the blinds down from the wall.
"Ouch! What the hell? Why did you shove me down?"
"Because, she was looking right at the window. I didn't want her to see me!" Arizona yells.
Sitting up, Teddy looks out the window to see the lady watching the window and shaking her head. "Too late. She saw," Teddy smirked, rubbing her head.
"Damn it. It's all your fault. You didn't get down quick enough! Wait... you know what?" Arizona stands and stomps to the door. "I'm going to go out there and tell her she can't park there."
"It's an unofficial spot. You can't keep someone else from..." Teddy was cut off as the door slammed shut behind Arizona. "parking there. That's ok... go out there and make yourself look like an idiot," Teddy finishes saying to the back of the door.
Teddy scooted back up to where she could see out the window, even raising it a little so she could hear what she assumed was going to be an outrageous conversation.
"Excuse me, ma'am," Arizona says, as the woman goes to open her car door.
The woman turns around and Arizona's breath hitches. She obviously didn't get a good enough look at this woman from inside the office, because the woman standing in front of her was more than hot. She was absolutely stunning. Tan skin, beautiful brown eyes, full lips that look so luscious. Oh, what she wouldn't give to...
Breaking her from her thoughts, the woman clears her throat. "Yes?" The woman let's go of the door handle and waits for Arizona to start speaking, but Arizona just stands there. The woman decides to help her out, starting to be amused by this blonde woman. "Is there something I can help you with? Need help fixing those blinds?"
"Oh... I'm um, Arizona. Robbins. Dr. Arizona Robbins. And this is my office. Right here," Arizona rambles, pointing to her office behind her, shaking her head, getting frustrated with her lack of coherent speech.
"That's nice," the woman says, offering a small amused smile, wondering what this blonde, bumbling woman, wants. "So, I'm assuming those were your blinds you pulled down too?"
"Um, yeah. They were. And this," she says pointing to the parking spot, "is my parking space."
"What?" The brunette woman asks, looking around, not understanding quite what the blonde is trying to say.
"This spot. it's mine."
Looking back at Arizona, she says, "I'm sorry, but I didn't see a sign that said 'no parking' or 'reserved' or... a sign with your name on it," she says chuckling.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Because. You seem to think you own this spot, and if I know anything about city laws and that sort of thing, it looks like this is unrestricted public parking."
"It doesn't have a sign. But it's mine. I always park here. For ten years, I've parked here. But today, you swooped in, right in front of me, and stole it. You were in my spot," Arizona grumbles, "and I had to park around the block. And I got soaked walking to the office because it was pouring rain. Luckily I had an extra change of clothes in the office."
"I see. Well, you look nice," the brunette says, nodding, trying to hide a smirk.
"Are you being sarcastic? Because, it kinda seems like you are. And, I know they are too small, but this," she says, pointing down at her outfit, "well, it's all I had," Arizona says, wondering what the woman is thinking.
"Not at all. I hadn't noticed that those pants were way too small. It's just, I have a sweater just like that," she says, pointing to Arizona's flowered sweater, "Well, I guess... I did. My mother made me get rid of it my freshman year of high school," she says, making Arizona realize she is in fact making fun of her. "But, it sounds like you really, really needed an umbrella," the woman nods. "Anyway, if you'll excuse me, it was nice meeting you, but I really need to go. I'm late for a meeting." With that, the brunette opened her door, got in, and pulled out, leaving the blonde woman standing there, wondering what just happened.
Arizona went thundering back into her office, slamming the door and causing a picture to fall slightly to hang crooked. "I can't believe her."
"What did you tell her?" Teddy asks, sitting down at the edge of the desk, acting like she hadn't already heard a word of what was just said.
"That she was in my spot and that I got soaked walking in this morning."
"And... what did she say?" Teddy asks, raising her eyebrows expectantly.
"That it sounded like I really needed an umbrella, and that my outfit looked nice and she hadn't noticed my pants were too small but that she had a sweater just like this, but her mom made her get rid of it. In high school," Arizona says, huffing, causing Teddy to bust out laughing. "Why are you laughing. That's not funny."
"It is, you just don't realize it yet," Teddy says, as she continues to laugh. "She was totally making fun of you. And she knows how tight those pants are on your ass."
"Teddy, I swear, I'm going to punch you."
"Go ahead. We both know how that will end. It will end with you whining because your girly hand got hurt," Teddy laughs. "But at least you aren't doing surgery anymore, so it's not a big deal."
"Shut up. Hopefully that's the last I see of her."
"Do you really think that? Because, she really was hot. Even I have eyes to see that. Did you even get her name?"
"No. I didn't ask."
"You will regret that later tonight when you are thinking about her and don't know what name to yell out."
"Shut up Teddy. I need to go. I have a date."
"Oh, with who?" Teddy raises her eyebrows.
"Kasey."
"The girl with the tattoo?" Teddy asks, making a face.
"Yes. The girl with the tattoo. What's wrong with a tattoo?"
"Nothing. Nothing at all. I have one. Mine just doesn't have a skull and crossbones on it."
"She said she was drunk when she got it. I'm not going to hold that against her."
"Well, technically you are. Because you are going to be holding that skull and crossbones against her every time you grab her boob. Who gets a boob tattoo anyway? Ouch."
"She's tough. I like it."
"Whatever. See you tomorrow. You need a ride to your car or are you good to walk around the block?" Teddy smirks.
"Shut it," Arizona huffs, walking out the door.
...
"I'm not kidding. She was spying on me through the binds! Then she proceeded to knock them down," Callie says, laughing. "Then she comes running out barely able to speak, like a cat had her tongue or something. Then when she did find her voice, she tells me I am parked in her spot. Total piece of work. Pretty arrogant."
"Did she introduce herself? Who was it?" Mark asks.
"Um, she was a doctor, surprisingly, though she acted like a teenager," Callie huffs. "Um, Robbins, I think it was."
"Oh…yeah. No wonder she was acting like the cat had her tongue. She is a lady-lover. She is used to having her tongue wrapped up in some p…"
"Mark! Stop! I don't wanna hear about it." Callie says, holding her hand up.
"What? Why not? You used to like hearing all the gossip."
"You don't even live here. How the hell do you even know about her?"
"When I came to scout out the office space for you, I hit the bar for a drink and she came in. I made a move and she turned me down. Then, this hot woman with tattoos came in and hit on her, and then they left together. The bartender was telling me about her. Said she is one heck of a woman but I didn't stand a chance with her. Then he laughed."
"Hm. Well, I don't have time for gossip. I am a woman with a mission, and gossip will just get in my way. I am in a new town with a new start... I want to make my own decisions about people. Plus, I want to make sure I stay focused and get this office open. I have a great feeling about this place and can't wait to get to work. I need to work. The sooner I am making money, the sooner I can tell George to shove his..."
"Well, maybe if you get bored, I'm sure Dr. Robbins would be interested in showing you first-hand, all about being tongue-tied. Let me know if that happens," Mark says with a smirk.
"You're gross. Stay out of other peoples' sex lives. And you know me better than that. I have never thought about a woman like that. Worry about your own sex life anyway… or lack of it."
"I have a great sex life. I have been out with the same chick several times now. But, if you need my services...," Mark says, with a smirk.
"No. I think I'm good. Been there, done that, not doing it again."
"Well, it was good while it lasted, you know. But, just so you know, the small-town guys aren't as generous as they are in L.A. They are a little more old-fashioned around here.
"Nothing wrong with that Mark. Besides, with going into the city every weekend, I don't have time for that anyway."
Nodding, Mark sadly smiles. "How is she doing?"
"The same," Callie says, looking down at her napkin. "No change. I keep hoping, but I think I might have to make a decision soon."
"I'm sorry to hear that. George didn't care that you moved her?"
"Nope. I think he is relieved. Less he has to worry about."
"He's an ass. I don't know why you ever dumped me for him. I'm here if you need me. I wish I could have helped you out in the office today."
"There wasn't anything to do today. I was just kind of planning things out. I just sat there. The workers will be there in the morning. I'll be there to boss them around but they are going to do all the hard work."
"Well, I need to get going. It's getting late, and contrary to popular opinion, I really have given up staying out all hours of the night. I think I'm finally ready to settle down."
"You say that right after you tell me you hit on Dr. Robbins the last time you were here, then say you are seeing a woman, but then ask me if I need your services."
"It was a one-time thing with Robbins, and she was hot, so I had to try. Even if you aren't into chicks, you can't tell me you didn't see it."
"I guess."
"I guess, my ass. She is hot. And with the current chick, she is actually a good woman. I'm proud of myself. And with you... I knew you would turn me down anyway," Mark says with a wink. "So, good luck tomorrow. I don't make it this way very often, but I'm close enough to be here if you need anything, ok? And I'm not talking about sex," he says, as Callie scoffs at him. "I know you have had a rough couple of years, and your ex is as worthless as they come. And, if something happens with..." he says, giving Callie a sad smile, then I am here. Maybe I can even go visit with you one weekend.
"I'd like that," Callie says, getting up to give him a hug. As she does, she sees the door open and Arizona walk in. Arizona is wearing a short black dress and her hair is pinned up on one side. She can see how Mark would think she is hot. Pulling back, Mark gives her a kiss on the cheek, and goes to pay the bill. As she is waiting on Mark, she notices another woman walk in, also dressed up, and walks up to Arizona.
Arizona reaches over and grabs her hand and kisses her cheek. She can tell she is talking to the woman but can't hear what is being said, however she can clearly hear the giggles the other woman is letting out. Mark turns around after paying, and holds his hand out for Callie to take, catching Arizona's eye landing on Callie as he does. He notices the double take Arizona does when she sees Callie.
Mark winks, grabs Callie's hand, and pulls her out the door. "Boy, she sure noticed you," Mark laughs, as they exit the door. I saw her girl toy hitting her because she did a double take when she saw you.
"Stop it. She is still mad over her stupid spot."
"Think what you want, but I think she could be putty in your hands," Mark smirks. "Well, I gotta go. When are you moving into your house?"
"The movers will be here Thursday. I'm staying in a hotel for the next two nights."
"Well, like I said, call if you need anything. I know you are a very capable woman, but I'm still here if you need me."
"Thank you, Mark. I don't know what I would do without you."
He winks, gives her one last kiss on the cheek, and heads to his car. While Callie watches Mark leave, she realizes she forgot her jacket in the restaurant, so she heads back in to grab it. She walks back to the booth and grabs and makes her way to the door once again. On her way, she passes Arizona and her date as they are escorted to their table.
Callie decides to play with fire a little bit, still aggravated at the nerve of this woman over her spot. "See you tomorrow... Dr. Robbins," she says, winking at Arizona as she continues to walk, not giving the blonde a chance to say anything. She is well aware that comment would do nothing but aggravate the blonde to no end, and for some reason, it excites her.
As she opens the door, she can't help but giggle to herself when she hears the woman with Arizona saying, "Did she just wink at you? Why did she wink at you?"
