Arizona
Hours later, we collapse onto Amelia's bed, sheets scattered around us. My leg is off now; it started to get a little uncomfortable with all the throwing around of each other that we were doing. So, when we finally got to the bed, I took it off. And, to my relief, it didn't phase her. Like, not at all. She treated me no differently. She just continued to fuck my brains out. And, it was amazing.
I turn to look at her now, trying to catch her breath, a light sheen covering her body. She is dazzling. The 'freshly fucked' look is spectacular on her.
"So... you've definitely done that before," I say, smirking. I knew she was never 100% straight. She lies on her side to face me, smirking back.
"Maybe a few times... okay, a lot of times... in college," she admits. "Never since graduating though... I was kind of nervous."
"Well... you did great," I say, playfully.
"Yeah, I kind of gathered that, listening to the sounds coming out of your mouth."
Amelia
She bites her lip and I want to jump her immediately. She's unbelievably sexy, especially right now. She holds my gaze before kissing me, tenderly. As the kiss ends, we smile at each other and she nestles down into my shoulder. I wrap my arms around her, keeping her close as we both drift off to sleep.
...
Morning rolls around, and the smell of Arizona's lingering perfume fills my nose. It's wonderful. Somehow she has turned over in the night so that her back is turned to me. I nuzzle my face into the back of her neck, trying to fight off the light that's infiltrating through my windows. I just want to stay like this all day. She begins to stir and it makes me groan.
"Good morning," she whispers, sweetly. I feel her lips press against mine and I, reluctantly, open my eyes. I'm rewarded with the sight of Dr Dimples smiling back at me. It's enough to wake me. I lean over her and kiss her over and over again. This is definitely my new favourite thing; kissing Arizona Robbins. Well, almost my favourite thing...
"What are your plans for today?" She asks when I stop, bringing my mind back out of the gutter.
"Hmm, well, I have to be in work in..." I check the clock on my cell. "About two and a half hours," I groan. She smiles at me again, making everything seem a little less bleak.
"Let me take you for breakfast," she says, tucking a few strands of hair behind my ear.
...
We stop at a café that's a stone's throw away from the hospital. Bacon, eggs and coffee with a side of Arizona is the perfect way to start any day.
I'm am absolutely exhausted. I think I've had about four hours sleep. But, my God, was it worth it!
"So, what are you doing after breakfast?" I ask, after swallowing a mouthful of bacon and egg. In the past few minutes, she's gone a little quiet. She's not really eating, just moving food around with her fork.
"I think Meredith wants us to take Zola and Sofia to the aquarium," she says, quietly.
"Well, that's just not fair. You get to have a super fun day and I'm stuck in work." She gives me a smile, but her heart's not in it. She looks kind of sad. "Is everything okay?" I ask, genuinely worried. I wonder if she's still anxious about being out in public.
"Yeah, about last night..." She trails off and I feel a knot in my stomach. Oh, God. Does she regret last night? "Was that... Did you..." She's struggling to get her words out. She sighs and puts her fork down, looking into my eyes. "You said you hadn't been with a woman since college."
"Yeah...?" I'm not sure where she's taking this conversation.
"So... for you..." Her eyes start to dart about, looking for anything apart from my face. "Last night... was that just... for fun, or... do you want to... maybe... go out... again... with me?" God, that took a while for her to get out. My whole body relaxes and I reach out to grab her hand.
"Arizona," I grab her attention, making her look at me again. "Are you asking me out on a second date?" She shrugs, shyly.
"If... If you want to," she looks at me, hopefully. Yep... definitely can't say 'no' to that face. Plus, who in their right mind wouldn't want a second date with Arizona?!
"Hmm, I'm going to have to think about that one..." I say teasingly, mirroring her words from earlier in the week. She playfully swats my hand, demanding a straight answer from me. "I would love a second date with you, Arizona Robbins." Her eyes light up and she beams at me.

Arizona
Despite my lack of sleep, I am in the best mood I've been in for weeks. It's not hard to determine why... Amelia Shepherd: The brilliant and beautiful surgeon I woke up with this morning.
"Did you see Amelia at all last night?" Meredith asks. We're in the aquarium and the girls are just in front of us, discussing in depth how to pronounce the word 'anemone'.
"Oh... I- uh... Why?" I manage to splutter out. I don't know if she wants anyone to know yet, but keeping it quiet is going to be tricky.
"Nothing serious," she reassures me. "I just rang her a few times to talk but she didn't answer her cell. She's usually got it glued to her hand. I hope she's okay."
"She... she's in work this morning... I saw her," I say. Come on, Arizona. Get it together! She's going to know something's up.
"Oh... okay," Meredith says, satisfied with the vague response. "As long as she's okay." We walk towards the underwater dome section of the aquarium, the girls extra excited about seeing sharks. "So, when are you coming back to work?"
"Soon, hopefully," I sigh out. "Does everything look like it's running smoothly in the center?"
"As smoothly as it can without Arizona Robbins," Meredith says, giving me a knowing smile. When it comes to work, Meredith Grey and I are of a similar ilk. We're efficient and organised and passionate. "Karev's taken a lot of the responsibility on," she continues. "He wanted to make sure it was running the way you wanted it; that students were being taught in the Arizona Robbins way." Alex Karev is one of the best men I know. Period. "And, of course, I completely agreed, because look how far your methods got Alex."
"Alex was tricky..." I smile at her, but I don't want to take all the credit. "But, he worked damn hard to get where he is now. He's always had a good heart."
We continue walking along, happily talking about work.
Meredith
We're onto the rock pools section of the aquarium now and Zola and Sofia are gently holding a couple of sea stars. Arizona is sitting with them, giving them all kinds of sea star facts and the kids are listening intently. If she wasn't such a brilliant surgeon, she'd have made a fantastic teacher. Arizona's phone buzzes in her bag. I pretend not to see Amelia's name pop up on the screen. My eyes dart from the phone to Arizona who picks it up and reads the message. A huge grin spreads across her face and she quickly types a message back before slipping it back into her bag, thinking it's gone unnoticed.
They are totally fucking.
