Arizona Robbins found herself in a free fall, every ounce of her being tingled from head to toe as the soft, sweet taste of Eliza Minnick took ownership of her mouth. It had been so long since she felt her whole body come alive and she wanted more, much more, too much maybe.

Pulling apart from the kiss, the blonde locked eyes with the woman before her, running a single finger down the center of Dr. Minnick's perfect lips, wiping the moisture that remained from their kiss, "I think you should come home with me." Arizona smiled with that familiar twinkle that made the dark haired doctor go weak.

Eliza Minnick, let her weight fall against the nearby wall bracing herself for the words that she knew would be incredibly hard to say in this moment feeling her whole body on fire with total consuming want for Arizona, who was finally standing exactly where she had wanted her to be for months now. Taking a moment to simply gaze into the breathtaking blue eyes that pooled before her, she was fixated on the blonde; Dr. Minnick could not help but smile.

"I can't believe I am saying this, but here is the thing Arizona, when I said we could be something I meant it, and that "something" I was talking about was not about going too fast, too soon. Do I want to go home with you and make love? Unable to resist the look which appears on Arizona's face, she pulls the woman forward allowing her mouth to be just a bit greedy and more forceful this time in gaining access with the tip of her tongue. Feeling the weight of Arizona on her body is almost too much to bear, pulling away as she pants out the one word answer to her own question. "Yes." Continuing, she takes Arizona's hands into her own. "Yes, I want to make love to you, and hold you, and fall asleep with you in my arms, and make you brown butter, blueberry pancakes in the morning wearing nothing but a shirt that smells like you. I want all of these things so much, but we have to go slow, Arizona." Plus people still hate me around here, and I don't want to drag you into the middle of everything right now.

Arizona takes a deep breath knowing Eliza is right, that if this is to be anything at all worth having they have to at least try to not let this thing be all consuming, especially with the staff so divided on Eliza even being at the hospital in the first place.

"Milkshakes, how do you feel about milkshakes, Dr. Minnick?"

They sat at the old ragged linoleum counter lazily slurping their milkshakes, Arizona sucking a long drink from the striped straw sticking out from her glass, Eliza can't help but smile at her, "Robbins, I can't believe you brought me to a place named "Dick's" for milkshakes.

Playfully looking up, "Hey, they have the best burgers and shakes in town!"

"Well I am relieved you are not a shy eater." Watching the blonde take a giant bite of her burger, swallowing as she blurts out, "I am too tired and hungry to be shy right now. Bailey pulled me into her embolectomy, that turned into a heart and clotting issue once she opened this ten year old kid up, we were in there for almost 6 hours."

Eliza was politely listening, but her head was elsewhere, she found it maddening to beat around the bush regarding issues or topics she wanted to speak of, and she could talk shop to any number of doctor's in her world. She wanted to know other things about the peds surgeon, things that people at Grey Sloan would not divulge to her. She sat with chin in her hand, watching how often Arizona's dimples appeared then ran off, a glorious game of peek a boo as she spoke.

Finally she couldn't hold back any longer, aware of her own hesitation, which threw her for a loop, because this is not who she was, but it is who she became when she was around this brilliant woman sitting across from her, taking a deep breath before speaking. "When you are ready, and there is no timeframe for this, I would like to know about how you lost your leg, Arizona."

Arizona chewed her food slowly, while pondering this proposition. Locking eyes with the woman before, she reached over taking Eliza's hand into her own. "You know what I want right now?" Eliza felt the breath disappear from her lungs as her heart raced at the possibilities. Reaching over Arizona pulled the brunette closer to her, kissing her softly on the check then letting her lips trail their way up to the spot the would linger , whispering ever so slightly. "Pie. I want peach pie, Eliza."

It was in that moment when both of their phones went off simultaneously, and they were rudely catapulted back into reality. The text Arizona received from Bailey make her regret the food she had just eaten.
