Hi! Here's a one-shot that I wrote after I found this prompt on Tumblr. Hope you like it.
General P.O.V.
"Thank you so much again, Cal, I know that with it being a Friday night, you have better things that you could be doing-"
"Oh hush Ares. You and I both know that I didn't have anything planned for tonight and I would never pass up the opportunity to babysit my favorite nephew."
Laughing, he says "He's your only nephew"
"Yeah, yeah whatever. You two get out of here and have fun." Callie smiles at her brother and sister-in-law.
Watching them to the car, Callie closes the door before sighing. Walking into the den, she sees her nephew Dylan, writing on a piece of paper. "Dill, what are you doing buddy?"
"Drawing a picture for mommy and daddy. Can you help me tia Cal?"
"Sure bud. What do you need me to do?"
"I don't know what colors to use," he says, holding out his box of crayons for her to take.
"Ok, well let's see what you've got here," Callie says, looking at the picture. Not being able to exactly make out what her nephew has drawn, Callie smiles. "Ok so here we have..."
"That's me, you, mommy, and daddy. We are in the park! See? I put trees." he says excitedly, pointing to the objects.
"Of course, let's do this then. For the trees, why don't we use brown and green, huh?"
He nods.
"You can color this part brown..." Callie says, pointing to what she was referring to. Continuing on, she helps him complete his picture by telling him what color he should color each object on the sheet of paper.
Ten minutes and one colorful picture later, Callie slumps back against the couch dramatically, "Whew!" she pretends to wipe sweat from her face, "I forgot how tiring coloring can be!" she says, causing the little boy to laugh.
"But tia Cal, I da one that colored not you" he smiles.
Side eyeing him, Callie narrows her eyes, "Hmm... oh yeah, you're right but you know who's doing the tickling?" she asks
Eyes widening, Dylan gets up preparing to run away but Callie grabs him, pulling him into her lap, "Where do you think you're going? Huh?" she asks, listening to the child's giggles as she tickles him.
"Tia Cal, stop! I give! I give!" Dylan screams through his laughter.
Tickling for a few more seconds, "Stop what?" she asks.
"Please! Please stop!" he says, laughter dying down as Callie stops.
"Ok little man, I'm a bit tired for real now" Callie laughs as they both catch their breath. Looking at the time, she sees that it's about to be 6:15 p.m. "What do you want for dinner?"
"Pizza!" Dylan smiles.
"Alright, pizza it is!" Callie says, pulling out her phone to see what pizza places were close to them. Deciding to go with one of her favorites, she orders a plain cheese pizza for them.
"Pizza should be here soon. What do you say we play some video games until it gets here then we can turn on a movie before bedtime?"
"Yay!" Dylan smiles, hopping up to turn on the gaming console and just like that, 25-30 minutes pass quickly for the two as they are in an intense game of Mario Kart.
Winning the race, Dylan starts doing a little victory dance, "I won!"
"Yeah, yeah let's do a rematch. There's no way a 5-year-old is going to beat me three times." Callie says, a smile playing at her lips as she pretends to be upset.
Just as they prepare to start a new game the doorbell rings, "Pizza!" Dylan yells.
"Yep, the pizza's here bud. I'll be right back," Callie says, getting up to answer the door.
Opening the door, the brunette's steps falter as brown eyes meet blue.
"Um, hi" she smiles.
"H-Hi" the blonde stumbles, eyes not once leaving the brunettes.
Standing there for a few more seconds, Callie finally breaks their staring contest as she looks down at her feet, clearing her throat as a blush works its way up to her cheeks.
Breaking out of her trance, the blond blushes as well, "Uh, I have a uh-" she pauses, opening the insulated bag, "I have a large cheese pizza for Callie?" she finally gets out, pulling the boxed pie out of the bag.
Nodding, Callie pulls her wallet out of her pocket
"That'll be $14.92." the blonde smiles. Smiling back, Callie opens her wallet pulling out a $20 bill.
"Here you go, you can keep the change." she smiles, handing over the money and accepting the pizza box.
"Wow, thank you" the blonde says, surprised.
"You're welcome. Have a great night" she smiles.
"You too" the blonde smiles, turning to walk back toward her car.
It had been three days since Callie babysat for her brother. Three days which she spent thinking about a certain blonde pizza delivery girl. One minute she was thinking how hot she was, the next she was fussing at herself for not at least asking her name.
Tonight, Callie was having a study group with her friends at her loft which is above her brother and sister-in-law's garage.
"Ugh, I need a break and food!" Christina says.
"Why don't we order a couple of pizzas?" Addison suggests. This breaks the brunette out of her thoughts.
"Pizza?" she asks.
"Yeah, that's the easiest thing to order for the six of us."
"Oooh let's get it from Dough Boys I hear that they have a hot delivery girl" Mark says.
Hearing this, Callie feels her cheeks begin to warm up. Could he be talking about the blonde that has been on her mind for the past few days? Nah… can't be… but is it?
"... think Cal?" the brunette hears, bringing her out of her thoughts once again
"Huh?" she asks Meredith to repeat herself.
"I asked if you thought three pizzas would be enough for us."
"Um, yeah that should be more than enough" I nod.
After calling in their order, they decide to continue studying until the food arrives.
Twenty minutes later, Callie's phone rings. Looking at the caller ID, she sees that it's her dad.
"Oh, I need to take this" she gets up going into her room, and closes the door behind her.
Arizona's P.O.V.
It's been three days and I can't seem to get the hot brunette that I delivered to the other night out of my head. I just started here at Dough Boys Pizzeria two weeks ago and I must say that I am enjoying it so far. Currently, I am a 2nd-year med school student and although my parents are willing to provide for me financially, they are already paying for my schooling so the least I could do was take a little of the burden off by getting a part-time job.
"Arizona, we got a delivery!"
"On it Uncle Chad" I smile, grabbing my pizza delivery bag and loading up the hot pies. Did I mention that my new place of work is my family's business? Looking at the address, my eyes widen. Wait, is this the same address that I delivered to a few days ago? I think to myself, slowly getting excited.
Putting the car in drive, I don't even need GPS having just visited this residence a few days ago.
I wonder if the hot brunette felt what I felt the other night. Maybe that's why she ordered again so soon. Maybe she wants to see me as much as I would like to see her.
Arriving at the address, I glance at the receipt and notice the note at the bottom, "Please come to the door above the garage."
Hmmm… interesting. I think to myself as I grab the food and get out of the car. Following the instructions, I am led to a white door where I knock.
"I'll get it!" A voice sounds from behind the door… a male's voice. Before I can dwell on it too much, the door swings open.
"Well damn," Mark says, "You are hot" she smiles.
"Um, excuse me?"
"Uh, sorry" he chuckles, "it's nothing"
"O-k..." I say slowly, "I have 3 pizzas. One cheese, two pepperoni?"
"Yep, sounds right!" he says, taking the pizzas from me. When he moves, to sit them down on the table beside the door, I am able to catch a glimpse of multiple people sitting around on the floor, books displayed out everywhere.
"Here you go" Mark smiles, handing me a nice $20 tip
"Oh wow, thank you" I smile politely, "You guys having a study night?"
"Yeah, we're all med school students at..."
"Really? Wow, I'm a med student there as well"
"Seriously?! What year?"
"2nd"
"Ooh, we're all 3rd years. You should study with us sometime. Cal is the reason that we made it out of there. Girls a genius"
"Cal?"
"Oh sorry, Callie. This is her place. She's taking a call right now but here," he says, tearing off a piece of the receipt paper and writing down ten digits on the back with his name.
"I'm Mark. Here's my phone number. Text me if you'd like to join us sometime… or for anything else" he smirks
"Well Mark, I'm Arizona. It's nice to meet you." I shake his hand, "Thanks for the invite I'll be sure to consider it, and for the record, I'm gay so don't get any funny ideas"
"Oh! Sorry, well I'm sure Cal would love to meet you. Please, do call or text me blondie. See ya!" he says, closing the door.
Well, that was interesting. I think to myself. Unfortunately, the beautiful Latina did not answer the door, I don't even know if she actually lives here. However, if she does, then I know that her name may or may not be Callie.
Callie's P.O.V.
"How are your studies?" my father asks.
"Good papa, I am actually having a study session with some friends now. With finals coming up, we're trying to get a head start on everything."
"Ah, that is what I like to hear. Keep up the good work mija, your mother and I are so proud of you."
"Thank you papa"
"We'll be even happier when you finally settle down…"
"Papi" I groan, glancing down at my watch, I realize that we have already been on the phone for about 10 minutes, if I don't end it soon, I'll miss the cute delivery girl.
"- just saying Calliope. You are not getting any younger and Ares-"
"-is 31. He has a stable career and a wife and kid. I get it papi but I am barely 27, I still have time." I roll my eyes.
I hear the faint sound of a knock, followed by Mark yelling that he'll get. Damn it, she's here. "All we're asking for is a time fra-"
"Papi I can't give you a time frame. You guys know that I want kids one day, and I will have them in due time. Please stop trying to rush me."
"I am not trying to rush you Calliope"
"But you are." I tell him, "You bring this topic up every time we talk and frankly, I am getting tired of it. I've never known a father to be so invested in his daughters sex-" I smirk, knowing that I just got him.
"La, la, la I can't hear you." my dad says, making me laugh. "I am not invested in what you do Calliope, but all I am saying is, I know you. You will continue to say that the timing is not right and before you know it, you're 52 and Dill doesn't have any cousins."
"He'll have more than enough brothers and sisters by then" I mumble to myself.
"What was that?"
"Nothing papa. I have to go now though before the guys eat all of the pizza. Te amo"
Sighing, he says, "Te amo mija. Study hard" before the line goes dead.
Sighing, I look at myself in the mirror. My dad stresses me out more than my school work which says a lot. I will admit that I was a little dramatic about him bringing up the baby talk every time we speak but since I turned 25, he has been hounding me to find someone to settle down with which adds a lot more pressure to my life than necessary.
Splashing some water on my face, I go back out and to my displeasure, I see everyone sitting down eating. 'Damn it' I think to myself, silently cursing my father for keeping me on the phone.
A few days later, I am getting home late after yet another study session, this time in the campus library. Glancing at my watch, I see that it is a little after 9 pm and I am starving. Looking in the refrigerator, I see that I have nothing to eat, cause I haven't been to the store yet. And by store, I mean raiding Ares and Issa's kitchen.
Stopping, I smile to myself as I realize that this yet another opportunity to see the cute delivery girl. Picking up my phone, I scroll to the number that is being used for the 3rd time in the past week and a half. 'Sheesh Torres, you really gotta get some groceries.'
Placing my order, I go about tidying up the place and before I know it, a knock sounds at my door.
Opening the door, I smile seeing the familiar blonde. "Hello, Callie, is it?" the blonde asks, smiling as she hands me the pizza box.
"Hey, yeah. H-How'd you know that?" I ask, my smile not once dimming.
"Oh, your friend Mark let it slip when I delivered here the other day. By the way, you sure like pizza huh?" she jokes.
"Hey, what can I say?" I shrug. As I hand her the money, my brown eyes meet her captivating blue, "I never got your name" I say softly.
"Uh, Arizona" she stutters
"Nice to meet you', "Uh, Arizona"" I say, joking, causing her to release the most beautiful laugh I have ever heard.
"You too, Callie." she smiles, "Have a nice night," she says, turning to walk to her car.
Watching Arizona walk away, I have an internal battle with myself. "Wait," I finally say before my mind can stop me.
Turning around, Arizona looks at me expectantly, "Yeah?"
"Would you- would you like to maybe grab a coffee sometime?" I ask, a nervous smile playing at my lips.
"Sure thing. Check your ticket" she smiles, winking as she turns around continuing her journey back to her car. Looking down, I see a regular receipt. Frowning, I turn it over and what I see causes me to smile for a whole other reason. Written on the receipt is her name and number with a brief message saying, How about I take you out for something other than pizza sometime?
'You can so take me out sometime'
THE END
Again, this was just something that I thought of after seeing a Tumblr prompt. Lmk what you thought. BTW, I don't have any intent on making this more than a one-shot.
