Sorry for being late! Here's a new chapter!

'Welcome. Please come inside.' Eliza gestured towards the hallway of her house when she was holding the door.

'Thank you.'

Stepping into her house, I was welcomed by a homey but modern interior. Her house was quite big surprisingly, for two people. It was decorated by a creamy theme colour and I liked it. Glancing around, I spotted some photographs and frames in front of the TV. Before I walked over to see who those people were in the photos, Eliza got my attention.

'Clare is at work. She is a nurse at the clinic so she is always at work during the day.' Eliza told me as if she already knew what I was thinking.

'Oh okay. Do you share your house with anyone else?'

'Yes, I do. I have a secret girlfriend and my official girlfriend hasn't yet found out about her.' Eliza narrowed her eyes.

'Oh really? You should be really careful then.' I whispered and played along. Eliza couldn't contain some small giggles.

'Um… can I get you anything to drink? I have tea, coffee, water…' She asked me and took my coat.

'Can I have a cup of tea please?' I answered and handed my coat to her.

'Sure. Just give me a few minutes. Make yourself home.' Her smile was the sweetest ever and I could never get tired of watching her smile like this. But I wondered how she could be so calm after what we did in my car just twenty minutes ago. It seemed like she was excellent in controlling herself but to be honest I was not that capable. As much as I wanted to take her to bed right away, I wasn't sure if she wanted it. But she had been so flirty and she didn't push me away when we got intimate earlier. After all it would be our first time and we just reconciled this morning. I didn't want to ruin our beautiful day and time together. I wanted a perfect first-time for us.

Sneaking into her kitchen, she was making our hot drinks. I tried to make every step as quiet as possible and wrapped my arms around her waist.

'Oh God, you scared me!' Eliza jumped a little. 'Just give me one more minute, the water isn't hot enough for our teas.' She turned her head a little to tell me.

'It's alright. I only care if my girl is hot enough for me.' I snuggled my head in her hair and placed a kiss on the back of her neck.

'Arizona…'

'Hmm?' I didn't move my lips away from her neck, instead I continued kissing her neck and then ear while I roamed my hands on her stomach.

'Our drinks are ready.' How could my girlfriend ignore all my moves here? Who still cared about our teas? Maybe she did though.

'You sure pretty lady?' I turned her around and smiled against her lips, followed by a deep kiss. She responded immediately by putting her arms on my hips and pulled me closer. I cupped her cheeks with both of my hands and swiped my tongue on her lower lip. She granted me access right away. While our tongues were playing their own game, my hands were moving from her cheeks to her back. As we both needed some air, we parted and I started kissing her beautiful jawline, neck and collarbone. She tilted her head upwards to give me more space. Caressing her back, I moved my hands further down to her hips and used one hand to grab the hem of her shirt and the other to squeeze her bottom. The whole situation of my girlfriend coming back to me was making everything hotter and I knew I needed her. When I tried to lift her shirt up for our next step, she grabbed my hand and pulled back with her furrowed brows and a sense of hesitation right in front of me.

'Arizona…' Her clear green eyes looked into mine.

'What's wrong?' I wasn't sure what was going on in her mind.

'I'm sorry. I can't.' She shook her head as she gave me a guilty look.

'You can't what?'

'I can't do this with you. I don't want to have sex with you…yet.'

'Oh…' I stepped back a little and released my grip on her arm.

'Please don't be mad and don't get me wrong. I can explain.' I got it. I understood that she could have all kinds of reasons why she didn't want to have sex with me and I honestly would respect them, respect her, but being rejected wasn't a good thing after all. God, this was so embarrassing. I thought this would be a beautiful and unforgettable first time for us. You know? Our unique time. But instead I was this pathetic woman who wanted to have sex with my girlfriend who didn't even want to do that with me. All of a sudden, I was like the desperate one, which was absolutely disgusting and I hated this feeling.

'Eliza, it's okay. I shouldn't have pushed you. I'm sorry. I think I should go. I will see you later.' All I wanted to do now was avoid the awkwardness. I gave her a sad smile and turned around but Eliza quickly grabbed my body with her strong arms from the back. I was trapped in her embrace.

'Arizona, I just came back and you're now leaving me? Please stay. I missed you so much. I didn't mean to offend you. I really didn't. Can we at least talk? Please?' Her voice was trembling and she tightened her embrace as she said every word. She was right. She just came back and she reminded me that I couldn't just leave because I needed to keep my promise. I would be too cruel to walk away now.

'Okay, but I need some time.' I turned around and I really meant it. After having such an intense make out and hearing those words from my girlfriend's mouth, I did need some time to calm myself down, both physically and psychologically.

'Sure, take all the time you need. Come find me in the sitting room whenever you are ready.' She kissed my forehead and left me alone in her kitchen.

Thanks for reading! I know this may not have turned out as some of you have expected it would be but a little bit of drama and more love wouldn't hurt :D
