'til she knows the heart of a woman will never be found in the arms of a man.”

Arizona Robbins was considered the perkiest of her friends and also the one they’d go to when they needed a shoulder to cry on. She was mousy when it came to being in the presence of authority figures and people she didn’t know. She didn’t feel the need to show more skin than necessary just to move up in her career, so if the shirt didn’t reach the base of her neck and the skirt wasn’t at least three inches past her knees she wouldn’t be caught wearing it. She only took her hair down from its normal bun when it was time to sleep and on certain holidays or special occasions. The blonde exuded professionalism, excelled in everything she did. Arizona Robbins was…
“LATE!” Stella all but shouts as Arizona as she rushes into the office.
“Sorry I, I was here on time, I just…I got a little held up in the elevator with….” The blonde stuttered out.
“Save it. Its 9:31 April, you’re supposed start at 9:30 I do not tolerate lateness.” She eyed Arizona before snatching the coffee from the tray Arizona was carrying.
“It’s Arizona ma’am.” She adjusted her glasses as she corrected her boss.
“That’s what I said.” Stella replied slightly annoyed. She grabbed her clipboard from her desk and shoved it into Arizona’s chest causing the papers to fall to the floor. Stella exits the office and heads down the hall while Arizona scrambles to pick up the papers
“We don’t have all day Ava.” Stella yells back to the blonde.
“Coming Ma’am.” Arizona replies running out from the office not even bothering to correct her boss. “I called and rescheduled your 10:30 appointment to tomorrow at 12:30 pm and moved your 11:20am meeting to Wednesday at 10:00 am. So that you can make it to brunch with Kate and Sarah at 11.” Arizona fills Stella in as they approach the conference room. “Oh and your sister…”
“Enough.” Stella interrupts as she reaches the room and turns around to face her assistant. “Take notes, preferably legible. If an idea strikes you and it’s quite possibly the best idea you’ve ever had and you just have to share, keep it to yourself. Your opinion is meaningless here. Got it?” she finishes pointing a finger at Arizona who quickly nods her head. Stella and Arizona both proceed to walk into the conference room at the same time.
“Stay.” Stella put a hand directly in front of Arizona’s face stopping her so that she can enter before Arizona. She enters the room and takes a seat at the table as Arizona, not knowing what to do, stands outside the door looking in. Stella turns in her chair, shooting Arizona a glare.
“Oh,” Arizona says barely above a whisper and scurries into the room, taking a seat next to Stella.
After a boring two hour long meeting and countless hours of running errands consisting of picking up dry cleaning way across town, because Stella doesn’t trust inner city dry cleaners with her expensive clothes, getting her car washed, getting her new poodle groomed and dropping off cupcakes to her son’s soccer team, Arizona finally returns to the office. She runs past the front desk in such a rush to get Stella her dinner she fails to hear the receptionist call her name the first time.
“ Arizona !” The receptionist called out a second time, causing Arizona to about face abruptly.
“Hey Teddy,” the blonde says out of breath. “As much as I love talking to you I really can’t right now, my job is kinda on the line at the moment.” With that Arizona turns and makes her way toward Stella’s office again.
“Did you remember to get the extra sauce?” Teddy questions.
“Shoot! What am I going to do” Arizona starts to panic.
“Relax I always keep a spare bottle.” The taller blonde says as she disappears into the lounge down the hall. She pulls the mini bottle of jalapeño wasabi sauce out from the cabinet and returns to her desk where Arizona waits anxiously. “Here you go” Teddy says handing her friend the item. Arizona smiles brightly and hugs using her free hand before taking the bottle.
“And Arizona, when is your job ever not on the line?” Teddy laughs as she sits back at her desk.
Arizona enters Stella’s office. “Of course Lisa, what time and where?” Stella’s British accent fills Arizona’s ears. Get a pen Stella mouths when she spots her assistant and gestures her hand as if she’s writing. Arizona places the food at the edge of Stella’s desk and searches for a pen and paper in her bag.
“Sure 1:30 is fine.” She says into the receiver, but loud enough for Arizona to be able to write.
“Although we may have to have it in my office though because I have to attend a designer’s showcase at 2:20.” Arizona finishes writing and moves to take Stella’s unopened food out of the back and place it in front of her.
“Perfect. I’ll see you then.” Stella says before hanging up her phone. “Did you get it from the restaurant I like that’s on the upper west side?” Stella asks.
“Yes ma’am” Arizona replies.
“ You know I only like…”
“ Futomaki and Nigiri sushi with jalapeño wasabi sauce,” Arizona finishes Stella’s sentence as she hands Stella the miniature bottle. Stella doesn’t bother thanking the blonde as she opens the container and starts to eat.
“You have a good night ma’am.” Arizona says, happy that she finally finished the last of what she was to do for her boss for today.
“Where are you going?” Stella snaps.
“It’s almost nine Mrs. Carlisle, I…I was supposed to get off…at eight.” Arizona responds, feeling worried.
“Listen Adriane, you work for me. You leave when I say you leave.” Stella says with a stern voice while repacking her food and getting up from her chair. She pulls a hefty stack of manila folders and a black book out of her desk drawer and places them in front of her. “Call all of my clients to see who will be able to attend the banquet on Thursday. And write them down in alphabetical order in the contacts book. Then you may go.” Stella says as she picks up her purse and food and leaves the room leaving Arizona alone.
Arizona lets out a sad sigh as she walks over to take a seat at Stella’s desk. She slumps over in her seat as she realizes this is the third time she wasn’t able to make it to Josh’s fashion show. I’m a terrible girlfriend she thinks to herself. Fresh tears brim her eyes. No this is what you wanted; this will help get you to where you want to be. Arizona you can do this. She gives reminds herself of her goal, wipes her tears, readjusts her glasses and picks up the phone to dial the first client’s number.
She finally finished calling and alphabetizing all of Stella’s clients and made her way home. On the drive over there she called Josh letting him know she would be coming. It was something she’d always done since he’d asked her to warn him whenever his princess would be coming home. She never bothered to ask why he would want to know, instead she put it off thinking that he’s just a charmer, and almost everything he says is just to be sweet.
As Arizona reached her apartment door she took out her keys, not realizing the door was already open. Stepping closer, she saw a slight of light, which the cracked door allowed her to see. She heard frantic shuffling and muffled swearing inside. Gently, she pushes the door open to see her half-naked boyfriend, not noticing her, scrambling to straighten up the living room.
“Honey what are you doing?” Arizona smiles looking a bit confused as she startled her boyfriend.
“Heeyy, hun…didn’t think you’d get here so fast,” he smiled awkwardly before giving his girlfriend a hug.
“Oh…Yeah I was already two minutes from that corner store we go to when I called.” The blonde replied dismissing his awkward behavior. “So what have you been up to?” she questions genuinely wanting to know.
“How about….we talk about that later.” He said as he captured the blonde’s lips in a rough kiss. He grabbed her hips, pulling her body as close as possible to his own.
“I like that idea.” She grinned devilishly, pulling back to look Josh in the eye. “I’m so lucky to have you.” She looks at him lovingly.
“Me too.” A look of regret flashes over his face and fades just as quickly as it appeared when he leans forward to recapture Arizona’s lips in a frenzied kiss and proceeds to lead her into their bedroom.
