Chapter Nine
Arizona was avoiding Callie, and Callie was avoiding Arizona. The way they were behaving, one would think they were supposed to never see each other at all. But as fate would have it, they would bump into each other several times a day. Callie tried hiding in her office the whole day, but unfortunately for her, Mark was a lazy ass, so he would send his associate to her office for everything, even a simple message he could text.
So to say the brunette was over whelmed by the blondes, presence would be an understatement. She couldn't breathe, everywhere she looked, there were blue eyes staring at her, and if she was honest with herself, she loved the fact that the blonde was staring at her. She missed that feeling of just being able to be 'normal?, she didn't know what to think, how to feel and what to do.
"You have a photo shoot with Marie Claire later today, they are doing a spread about 'A day in the shoes of a career woman' and tomorrow you have booked yourself a Vogue spread thanks to that little spree you did with long legs in Paris." Callie's assistant Meredith said as she entered with the Latina's diary to remind her of her appointments, she did this every day before lunch, because that's the best time of the day for her boss, she was less cranky.
"No, no…..I can't even…." She said standing up from her chair behind her desk, she went over to look at herself in the floor length mirror she had, looking at the outfit she was wearing that day. She had on loose fitting high waisted black slacks, a red also loose fitting silk top, that was sleeveless, but had a bow tie on the neck. Her hair was tied up in a big bun, paired with gold stud earrings. She looked gorgeous, even she couldn't deny that, not a hair out of place, and not a seam missing.
She didn't finish her sentence because she knew she would rock those magazines, but she didn't want to go to Vogue just because she was seen as the famous models girlfriend, which she was not. She was not Jenny's girlfriend. She was no one's girlfriend. She hadn't been anyone's anything in years. Although she couldn't help but wonder where the brunette disappeared to after Paris.
When Callie looked up in the mirror, she made contact with the crystal blue eyes staring at her through the mirror. "Absolutamente hermoso" The both said in unison
The minute blue eyes met brown, Callie remembered everything that happened last night. "OH SHIT." Callie said out loud eyes wide open, gasps were heard from the people that were in the courtroom.
"Counselor do I need to remind you that this is a court room? You have wasted our time this morning and the attire you wearing is inappropriate for the courtroom and now you are using that language. Five thousand rand fine." The judge said, but all Callie could think about was last night with Arizona.
"So Callie tell me about yourself." The blonde said keeping her eyes in the road, while sneaking glances at the drunk, but still classy brunette. "Are you asking me that because I'm drunk?" Callie slurred.
"No," the blonde laughed, "I am asking you cause I want to know more about you." She said meeting her eyes. Looking away from those beautiful eyes, Callie decided not to indulge too much of herself to a twelve year old, planning to just calmly redirect her to another question, instead what came out of her drunk mouth was "You are sooooo beautiful , if you weren't twelve years old I would totally screw you. And I shouldn't have said that." The brunette said snickering at her big mouth.
The blonde was shocked to say the least, she didn't expect to be hearing that, of course she was extremely attracted to the Latina. But she never would have in her wildest dreams thought the brunette would actually feel the same way about her, feeling very good with a confidence boost, "I am not twelve, I am actually sixteen going on seventeen in a couple of days." The blonde replied proudly.
"Is that supposed to make me feel better about having sexual thoughts about a teenager." She blurted, the more she thought about it, the worse she felt. "Oh no! I feel gross." She said scrunching her face weirdly.
"Hey hey! Don't make that face, sex with me is not that bad." She swatted Callie's arm.
"OUCH that hurt!" the brunette cried out screaming, the blonde just rolled her eyes, "Really Callie? It was not that painful, such a cry baby." Arizona stopped the car on the side of the road, so she could talk to Callie while looking at her in the eye.
"Oh yeah I am going to stop you right there, I am a lawyer an excellent on in fact, I graduated summa cum-laude okay had a perfect score of 4.0, working in the best firm in the entire world as a junior so no way am I a baby ok?"
"wow those are some achievements miss Torres. So I have to hit you in order for me to get you to tell me about yourself." She joked back
"Oh you are more than welcome to google me, I'm just telling you my Wikipedia bio." She said putting on her shades, she couldn't look at the blondes eyes any more, it was like they were staring into her soul, and all she wanted was to kiss her.
"Are you putting on your shades at seven o clock in the evening?" the blonde was laughing in fits of laughter. "An-and why….why is zzz tha-t?" she asked in between fits of laughter.
Because you are absolutamente hermoso
"And what does that mean?" the blonde asked now serious. She took off the brunettes sunglasses off, turned her head so that she was looking at her, "What does it mean." She said in a very low whisper.
"Absolutely beautiful" the brunette said connecting with her eyes, then looking back at her lips, and before either of them knew what was happening their lips met, for a sweet slow sensual kiss. It seemed like everything stopped for both of them, the sound of cars passing was non-existent anymore it was just the two of them and nothing else mattered.
"MAGICAL" the said once drawing back from the kiss.
Breaking them from the trance they were in, the brunette, went back to sit in her chair. "Uh is there anything I can help you with?" she offered a smile.
"I need you to sign these." She said handing her paper. "And Mark needs to know whether you can meet up for a late brunch today?"
"No." the brunette answered shortly, while signing the papers.
"Okay he also said and I quote, 'when are you putting out again or is your head buried in the hot models face these days'" Arizona said in a stoic even tone voice, looking Callie directly in the eye.
"Uh…" the brunette said while sorting non-existent papers in front of her, not wanting to meet the blondes eyes. "Tell Mark that uh I uhm can't meet him today." She said nodding. "And uh tell me I uh won't be here tomorrow. So we can discuss the Monica case Friday." She said not looking up.
"Is the 'Monica case' your code word for 'sex' Calliope?" she said in very calm manner, too calm for Callie's liking. "So tomorrow are you going on a secret trip with Jennifer? And then come back Friday and sleep with Mark? Pussy today, dick tomorrow. Is that what's going to happen?" Addison walked in the minute Arizona said the last part. She stopped and raised her eyebrow, shocked to say the least, that someone could speak to Callie like that, and what shocked her even more was that Callie was looking down and not saying a word.
Walking in Addison stopped in front of the blonde, "That is enough, that is not the way to speak to the owner and managing partner in this firm. I actually like you, thought you had potential. GET OUT" Arizona stomped out of the office. Silently huffing. Addison raised her eyebrow at Callie asking her what that was all about? Callie nonchalantly shrugged, the redhead decided not to press the issue.
Arizona had made friends in the office, but one thing she learnt about the people at Torres & Associates was that the people were very loyal to Callie. They never anything bad about her, they hardly discussed her cases, or how she won each and every case she was involved in. They never questioned her methods, or maybe they knew what her methods were. She tried fishing as much information as she could but almost everybody was tight lipped.
She had worked too hard to get where she is to let another slut take away the brunette from her. She needed to find out everything about this Jennifer woman. She had betrayed her parents by lying to them about the place she was working at. She couldn't tell them that she was working at Torres, even though the firm was one of the best in the entire world and just mentioning that she had worked there for a day, she would get job opportunities everywhere. But it wasn't about that it was about making the wrongs of the past right.
The minute the blonde left Callie's office she was fuming, she didn't believe Mark when he said he had slept with Callie, but when the Latina didn't want to look her in the eye, she knew that Sloan was telling the truth. She knew that she had no right to be upset, but she just was. Of course she had dated other people but when it was time to have sex she just couldn't go through with it, she felt like she was cheating on Callie. It just didn't feel right, so she failed to understand how Callie could do that with someone else.
"Mer, where is Callie going later today?" she asked Callie's assistant. "Why do you want to know?" Meredith asked looking at the associate skeptically.
"Uh Mark needs to know her plans for today and tomorrow, so he can book them lunch and their sex session." Arizona said with a fake smile, "shouldn't his assistant be doing this?" Meredith said.
"Well I am taking my own sweet time in closing a case, well that's what he said about my abuse case. So he said I had a lot of free time on my hands, and Lexie can do other things, since she is so effective and I am defective." The blue eyed blonde said slightly annoyed.
"OK- she has a photo shoot today and tomorrow, so he can only do brunch Friday, oh but they will be meeting up for the Monica case anyways so they can talk then. As for the sex session, they can do that after hours" Mer laughed.
"What is the Monica case?" Arizona asked now sure that is wasn't a sex session. "It's when they-" before the assistant could get to answer, two men wearing black suits and ear pieces walked in, and went towards Meredith. "Is she in?" the tall black guy asked, Arizona immediately recognized his face.
The blonde jumped behind Meredith and ducked on to the floor and hid behind the desk in a subtly but very fast manner. "Yes, Lenny she is here." She spoke, looking at Arizona weirdly but trying not to make anything suspicious.
The guy named Lenny spoke to his phone confirming the answer. Then in walked a 5.6 tall woman in six inch black stilettos, a black lace dress, and a black fur mink coat. She greeted Meredith, before walking into Callie's office door.
Callie was just finishing up her meeting with Addison when her office door opened.
"Calliope" an all too familiar voice called out.
"Mama…"
AN: I need a Beta because I just hate reading my chapters after writing them. And if anyone is interested in being a co-author with me, just send me a PM, I am getting really busy, and I don't like dragging stories for long periods of time.
