Webber was pissing Arizona off. It has been a week that Eliza has kissed her. And since then they decided to keep things low key so that their relationship didn't have the pressure of people knowing, but of course, the past week she had been avoiding her friends like a plague. She and Eliza were going at dates in Eliza's new apartment, and everyday she was feeling more for that woman. And It makes so much worst keep hiding it from her friends, they were her family now, and she could lose them. But Eliza was on the right side here, she didn't asked to Richard get fired. She was good, and so passionate about teaching. She was funny, and caring, and so lovely to be with. Every day she would send me texts when she woke up wishing me a good day, or reminding of having a snack before my surgeries or something sweet. And Webber was ruining it for her, because he wouldn't shut the hell up about her girlfriend. Wait! Girlfriend? I don't know what we are, but the way this are going, this is going to be a true statement soon.
"Arizona...are you hearing me?" I hear Richard say and I get out of my thoughts.
"Sorry, I was spacing out I guess. What was it?"
"Minnick again, she is running this program like it is kindergarten. And now with April at her side, she can get general and take over, we need a plan."
"What I need is to finish my paperwork and have a nice rest, see you later Dr. Webber"
And I leave, I run for my life. I didn't to be rude, but it is frustrating me to no end this field between my friends and my lover. I need to find Eliza and have some moment with her. I know she must be in her office planing something for tomorrow, and her program is going great, never had so much experiment residents before. And Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital is having a few more people looking for and looking at, all thanks to my Eliza. As I enter her office I see that beautiful face, all windows are covered by the curtins, so no one can see us.
"Hi beautiful, I was about to text you. I was hoping we could..." And I stop her and sit on the couch desperate, my head is hurting, I am so stressed right now.
"I can't do this anymore Eliza. Is going to tare me apart. This feeling is the same when I was a teenager and had to come out. I don't want to come out anymore. I am a freaking rainbow already. I can't keep hiding this, and if you think you can hide me so your career is better you won't have me. I will not be a trophy wife or anything like that. I can't. Richard keep talking shit about you to me. And I was pretty rude to him, and I am never rude. I am always great. You are making me crazy" I look at her and she is with her mouth opened, because I said things so fast I think she is processing all the information. I look like a crazy person.
Eliza makes her way to me and gets on her knees and hold my hands. And I stay there in the sofa thinking she will say something awful.
"Arizona honey, I don't want to hide you, I want to fucking yell at everyone I see that I am with the most beautiful woman I ever met." She caress my hair with so much care, and she continues. "I want you to know that, you are enough for me, and you told me how difficult is for you to open up, but I want you, so bad. You are the only thing I think about, and the only thing is keeping me sane with everyone hating me. And I have no problem with people knowing. I just don't want you to get hurt, and I can't watch that."
"I know is going to be hard for them to accept, but I can't continue anymore. My insecurity is showing, and I am stressed, sorry I yelled. I just, I need you ok?" And for no reason I start to cry, and she smiles and lean in to kiss me.
She sits with me, and puts me in her lap with that carefulness with my prosthetic, and we kiss like there is no tomorrow, she hugs me at my waist and squeeze me, we kiss until we can't breathe anymore and then some more, we stop to catch a breathe and we have our foreheads together smiling from ear to ear. God that face, it gets me every time. And she is so sweet with me, she likes to be delicate and slow and that is so good. Also, she is hot as fuck.
"So tonight, we will go out, on a real date and you can't say no." She says with that confident face I adore so much.
"Okay, as long as you keep kissing me"
And just two seconds after we kiss the door is open. And Jackson fucking Avery is there with his mouth open, looking at me and making that annoyed face.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?" He yells at me.
Eliza took me off her lap and is ready for a fight.
"I suggest you be very. And so very careful with what you say next Dr. Avery. We aren't doing anything wrong." She is so hot.
"Are you serious Arizona? I would never imagined. I hope you are happy. Your life will be hell."
"Hey asshole, you can't speak with my girlfriend like that. She didn't do anything wrong, want to be mad? Be at me. I am doing my job, just that. And if Richard is so good, why would anyone call me? You know you are wrong, you are smart, aren't you Dr. Avery? You can do anything with me, throw every fucking insult at me, but not my girl. Never my girl. Do you hear me?"
OH MY GOD. SHE IS SO HOT RIGHT NOW, AND SHE CALLED ME GIRLFRIEND. OH SHIT, THIS IS SO WORTHY. And Avery is gone, saying something I don't hear and I don't even care. And the next thing I know she is hugging me and kissing my forehead and apologize and I snap out of my shock.
"I am so sorry Arizona, so sorry baby."
"No, you are not. And we don't need to be sorry about this. I adore you, I was falling, I don't have my kid here, my life was apart. And you, you and your confidence, is a fresh air for me to breathe. I am so grateful. So let's forget about dinner and go to your apartment so my roommate can sleep, because believe me. We won't sleep tonight."
