Best For Last

Chapter Ten

ARIZONA'S POV

I've been running this field for near on an hour and Lisa is in my sights. Yes, I want to speak to her, but I don't know what to say. I don't want to come across as a total bitch, but I know her very well and I also know what she likes in terms of her girls. No, I haven't ever been one of them, but I've heard enough stories around the team to put me off her for life. Sure, Eliza was free to date and sleep with who she wanted to, but not anymore. She has me now, and I'm always going to be around. I guess Lisa should probably know that. You know, in case she decides that she can't keep her hands to herself. Picking up my pace a little, my watch vibrates on my wrist and I glance down to find a message from Eliza.

E - You look hot in your kit. x

Smiling, I glance over towards the far edge of the field and find Eliza watching me, a full smile on her face. God, she's adorable. Deciding to completely bypass Lisa, I pick up my speed for my final lap and overtake her. She always was a slower runner than me and I guess it's good to see I'm still in shape after the weekend I had. Sure, I can let my hair down now and then, but Eliza appreciates the work I put into my routine and she wouldn't ever expect me to stop this. Coming to a stop at the edge of the field, I figure there is no better way to get Lisa's attention than to show her what is happening here. Pulling Eliza in close, my hand fists in her tee and my lips press hard against her own. "Hi…" I smile against her mouth.

"H-Hi yourself." She clears her throat. "What did I do to deserve that?"

"Just…for being yourself." I wrap my other arm around her waist. "Be my girlfriend." My words falling from my mouth so effortlessly, Eliza's lips part ever so slightly and I know I caught her off guard with my question.

"I, uh…"

"Just say yes so I can have my way with you…" Trying to lighten the mood a little, a laugh falls from my mouth.

"Well, if you'd have led with that…this would have gone so much smoother than it did." Eliza rolls her eyes playfully and pulls me in for a searing kiss. Her lips just pressing perfectly against my own, I feel a presence behind me but I'm a little too busy to care right now. "Yes, Arizona…"

"Ugh, thank god for that." My forehead rests against her own. "She's behind me, isn't she?"

"Yeah." My girlfriend's response low and barely audible, I release one arm from around her waist and turn to face my teammate.

"What's up?" I furrow my brow as I face Lisa full on.

"You two, huh?" She gives me a questioning look.

"Kinda looks that way, yeah."

"Damn…" She folds her arms over her chest. "I was planning to ask you to prom, Eliza." Okay, does this stupid bitch not see me? "You have a date, or?"

"Does it look like she has a date?" I step in front of Eliza and stand toe to toe with Lisa. "Or are you freaking blind?"

"Uh, the last I heard…you were going with Lori." She laughs. "You know, the one who is sleeping with everyone behind your back?"

"Lori can do whatever and whoever the hell she likes." I counter. "She is none of my concern."

"About that date, Eliza?" Lisa steps around me and focuses on my girlfriend. "You wanna go with me?"

"No thanks."

"Blown off." Lisa holds up her hands. "Nice."

"Well, you can kinda see that I'm taken, so?" Searching my teammates face, Eliza gives her an awkward smile and I have to hold back my laughter. "I should go…" My girlfriend focuses on me. "I'll catch you later, okay?"

"Uh, go where?" I raise an eyebrow. "Lisa was just leaving, right?"

"R-Right." She sighs. Watching her walk off, a low laugh rumbles in my throat but as I glance back at Eliza, she doesn't find any of this funny.

"What's up?" I furrow my brow.

"I just don't want to cause a scene, Arizona." She shoves her hands in her back pockets and backs up a little. "I have things to do…"

"Wait, please?" I give her a pleading look. "Don't leave…you only just got here."

"You're busy and I'm not sitting around here watching you two scold each other." She drops her gaze, a sigh falling from her mouth. "I was hoping to see you tonight if that's okay, though?"

"N-No." I shake my head, confusion written all over my face. "I'm coming with you," I state. "Wherever you're headed right now, I'm coming too."

"Arizona…" She gives me a sad smile. "Do your thing and I'll see you later."

"You are my thing." I fall into step with her. "Please, give me five to shower and I'm all yours."

"This isn't about that." She furrows her brow. "I don't need the soccer team hating me."

"They don't." Okay, I'm lost right now. Why would she ever think they would hate her. They love her. She's our number one support.

"They will once Lisa runs her mouth." She scoffs. "I'm headed home. Call me later." Gripping her wrist and pushing her against the wall to the side of the building, I hold her in place and find her eyes. "Arizona…"

"I'm going to take a shower." I smile. "You are going to go home and grab yourself that gorgeous blue bikini you own…and then you are going to meet me at home."

"W-Why?"

"Because I wanna get a few lengths in and honestly, I'm going to need you to push me up against that pool wall like you suggested." My body throbbing at the thought of exactly that happening, Eliza's soft green eyes seem to darken. "And I'm not taking no for an answer…"

"I-I should go." She swallows hard. "I-I need to find that bikini."

"Perfect." Taking her bottom lip between my teeth, I don't want to get too close because I'm sweaty. I don't want to get close but I also don't want to let her leave. "I'll see you in like an hour, okay?"

"Y-You will." She clears her throat, a blush creeping up her neck. "See you in an hour." Releasing her from my grip, my girlfriend disappears around the corner and I'm left feeling just as turned on as I usually am when I'm around her. Shit! I don't know if this afternoon will actually come to anything, but I really need it to. I need to break that barrier between us and I know when I do…when we do…it's going to be something I've never experienced in my life.

Okay, Eliza really needs to move her ass. My phone pinged a little while ago and I know she on her way over, but I'm growing impatient. I'm growing impatient because all I can think about is her in that freaking bikini I suggested and now my mind is going wild with anticipation. I swear if she doesn't show up here wearing exactly that, I'm going to cry. Actual tears. I wont even try to hide it. Honestly, I'm done with waiting. Sure, I wouldn't ever pressure her into more with me, but I know she is ready too. I could see it in her eyes today when she was leaving school for the day. I could see it and I'm not sure I can ever unsee that look again. It will be forever on my mind and I know that. I can promise myself that. Mom is working out of town today but that is nothing unusual. She is always with a client somewhere. Whether it is local at her office or in another state, she is always on the go and always providing the best life for us. Sure, she works crazy hours as a lawyer, but she's here for me whenever I need her. She would drop everything in a heartbeat if I asked her to.

Deciding to push myself for a few more lengths of the pool, I push off the wall and set myself a steady pace. If I focus on what I'm doing, everything else will disappear. Well, that is what I'm hoping for but I know that it won't happen. She is all I can think about. She is all I see. We have spent a huge amount of time together over the years but this? This is so much more than simply spending time together. This…it's everything. Absolutely everything I ever imagined if I got the chance to tell Eliza how I feel. I'd like to believe she feels the same way as I do, and I think she does, but if she isn't quite at the same place as me just yet, I can live with that. I can live with it because she means so much to me. She always has, but over the last week or so, she has come to mean so much more to me. Maybe not more, but certainly in a different way. A way I never thought possible.

Hitting the wall at the opposite end of the pool, the sound of Mariah Carey: Always Be My Baby is playing out loud around our yard. This is all I need. Some good music and Eliza by my side. Seems I'm missing one of those two things right now, though. Pushing off for another length, I pick up my pace and breathe through the emotions I have coursing through me. I've never felt this way about anyone before and I'm worried that I'm going to scare Eliza off. I know I wouldn't ever let myself do that, but she tried to leave before and I can't help but wonder if this is too much for her right now. I mean, I dealt with my feelings for her a long time ago. I dealt with them so when she told me what she did, I was more than ready for them to resurface. I was more than ready to just get going. She is still working through the idea that she is even attracted to me and I have to accept that. I have to understand it and allow her whatever time she needs to figure it out.

A clearing of the throat pulling me from my exercise, I stop in the middle of the pool and glance up to find Eliza standing at the edge. "H-Hi." I brush my hair from my face. "You came." I smile.

"I did." She smiles as she drops her bag and pulls her tank top up and over her head. "This the one you were wanting?" She asks as my eyes trail her body.

"Y-Yeah." I clear my throat. Come on, don't get nervous now, Robbins. "You coming to join me?"

"I am." Her shorts removed, the body standing before me is enough to drown me right now. Watching as her ass moves perfectly in her blue bikini, she approaches the steps of the pool and lowers herself into the water. "You finished with your lengths?" Slowly swimming towards me, we meet in the middle and I simply nod, slowly. "You sure?" She raises her eyebrow. "I don't want to interrupt you."

"N-No, I want you to interrupt me." I pull her in by the hip. "I need you to interrupt me."

"Why?"

"Because I'm letting my mind get away with myself and it isn't doing me any good." My lips trailing her jawline, her perfume calms me and I pull her away from the middle of the pool. "I just…I don't think I can wait any longer, Eliza."

"No?" She asks.

"No." I sigh as I pull back. "I'd never expect you to be ready, but I need you to know that I totally am. Whenever you are, okay?"

"Okay." She gives me a soft smile, my back connecting with the wall. "Are you finished, or?"

"Finished with what?" I furrow my brow.

"Whatever you just said to me…" She breathes out. "I wasn't listening past you wanting me to interrupt you."

"Oh," I reply.

"Yeah, oh." She repeats. "So, I'm your girlfriend, huh?"

"I mean, if you want to be." I give her a genuine smile. "I'd like that…"

"And what exactly does being your girlfriend mean?" Pressing her body against my own, my legs wrap around her waist and she captures my lips. "Does it mean I can kiss you whenever I want?"

"Y-Yes." I breathe out, trying desperately hard not to grind against her stomach.

"And…touch you whenever I want?" She tilts her head a little, studying my face.

"God, yes," I whisper. "Whenever…" My thigh suddenly on fire as her fingertips trail up the back of it, my eyes close and my breath catches in my throat. "Oh god." Her lips trailing the skin of my chest, her hand tugs at the tie holding my bikini top in place. Shit, this is it. I knew it would be something special, but just her hand on my thigh almost has me writhing against her.

"Is anyone home?" She asks, her voice low. "I need to know, Arizona…"

"No." Simply shaking my head, I'm too lost to even care if anyone was home. Hell, the neighborhood could be watching and I wouldn't stop this. No way. "E-Eliza…" My eyes flutter open and I find my girlfriend watching me.

"What's up?" She asks, her tongue trailing my neck.

"This is what you want, right?"

"Everything I could ever want." Her words sending my heart rate soaring, my grip around her waist tightens and I can't help but roll my hips against her. "And…I believe its what you want too?"

"Yes…" My lungs barely even functioning, her hands find my thighs again and her head dips, the flat of her tongue taking a long, slow lick across my nipple. "Shit." Holding myself up against the edge of the pool, my head falls back on my shoulders and the sun beats down on my face. Okay, I've officially been to heaven. As of this moment, this is heaven. Removing one hand from the edge of the pool, it tangles in her gorgeous long, dark hair and I press her mouth harder against me. Sucking my nipple into her mouth, her teeth graze the sensitive bud and arousal pools between my legs. If I wasn't in the water right now, it would be slipping down my thighs. I can feel it.

My body lifting out of the water as she sucks harder, Eliza pushes me up and I find myself on my back, completely out of the water and now flat at the edge of the pool. My legs spread, she tugs the string holding them in place and pulls them from my body. "Oh god." My legs falling open a little more, her thumb presses against my clit and my back arches from the warm tiled floor. "Fuck, Arizona." Okay, so Eliza cursing is hotter than I ever imagined it could be.

"Y-You see what you do to me?" My chest heaving, she simply moans before her tongue travels up the inside of my thigh. Pulling my ass a little closer to the edge of the pool, I glance down at her and her eyes are black. I swear, I've never seen such a sight. Focused completely on my soaked sex, I watch as she licks her lips, a smile curling on her mouth. Lying back, I cant watch her any longer. I'm so on edge right now that I don't think I can hold on much longer. She hasn't even touched me and I swear I could come right now. Gasping as her tongue travels the length of my center, she sucks my clit into her mouth and a moan falls from my mouth.

"Wow…" Her voice hoarse, it's filled with emotion. Given half the chance, Eliza could quite easily make me cry. This isn't the time for that right now, though. This is time to totally feel every touch. Every feeling. Just…everything that she is. "A-Arizona…"

"T-Touch me, Eliza." Sinking my teeth into my bottom lip, her hand trails my thigh and her fingertips tease my entrance. Her tongue rolling over my clit, she pushes two fingers inside of me and my hips lift. They lift and my entire body is on fire. I've never felt like this before. I've never felt this ultimate high with anyone in my life. "Y-Yes." My body rocking against her mouth, I can feel my stomach tightening. I can feel my world and my mind slowly disappearing.

"Shit, you're so wet…"

"Mm…" It's all I can give her right now. I'm not sure I've ever been this wet. I'm not sure I've ever felt so unbelievably crazy about anyone as I do in this moment. To think I thought she was a virgin. No. No way. "C-Close…" My hand finds her hair again and she pushes deeper inside of me. Okay, this girl is an absolute fucking goddess. "S-Shit, yes." My body shuddering and my thighs closing around my girlfriends head, she doesn't let up. She doesn't slow. She is taking me like she's always known I've wanted to be taken. "O-Oh." Her tongue rolling over and sucking on my sensitive clit, she slowly pulls out of me and laps up the wetness between my legs. The wetness she created. "E-Eliza…"

"T-That was…" Pulling back, she licks her lips and glances up at me before closing her eyes. "I-I just…oh god."

"Get out." I grab my ruined bikini and scramble to my feet. "Upstairs, NOW!"
