Alex is signing chart after chart and it feels like it's all he's been doing since Arizona left for Africa a week ago. She had taken Hales with her this time, the squeal that came from Skype when Arizona asked her was ear piercing.

Every night when he got home Arizona has skyped him as she gets ready for her day. Arizona had told him all her surgeries she had done and her asking about her department. Alex had been missing Arizona like crazy with her not being there at night. But he hasn't been lonely because the day Arizona left Boo and her now girlfriend, Quinn, showed up with bags full of camera equipment. The house hasn't been quiet or lonely at night with him, Boo and Quinn playing Xbox and Wii, Jackson sometimes coming over after work to hang out.

"Karev, go home." Bailey bellows as she walks passed him at the nurses' station. "You've been here all night."

"I'm going, I'm going." Alex says closing all the charts before heading to the elevator.

"When does Robbins get back?" Baily asks as the elevator dings its arrival and revealing Callie and Mark whispering in the corner. Callie's baby bump protruding passed her lab coat, Mark rubbing his hand smoothly over it.

"I pick her up tonight." Alex says smiling ear to ear. "In six hours." Alex tells her checking his watch. "I mean, not that I care or anything she just needed a ride." Alex shrugs it off.

"I didn't ask for your life story Karev." Bailey huffs and exits the elevator. Alex follows behind but heads towards the lockers to change.

"Alex." Callie calls just as he opens the door to leave the locker room.

"Yeah?"

"Can you give this to Boo? She left it at the shoot the other day." Callie says handing over a purple jacket.

Sure, anyway I really have to go, I've got to clean before I pick up Arizona." Alex grabs his pack and heads out the door nearly running into Sloan. "Whoa, sorry dude. See you later."

As Alex pulls into the drive way he can see a head of golden honey hair behind the fence jumping up and down. "Hey Jimmy, lost your ball again?"

"Hey Dr. Alex, yeah my ball should be in the garden. Could you please pass it back over?" the five year old shouts back.

Alex grabs the basketball and passes it over the fence to tiny hands. "How's the shooting hoops going for you?"

"Eh… I got two in a row yesterday but not so lucky today… yet." Jimmy tells him. "Is Dr. Zona coming back soon?"

"Yeah I'm picking her up tonight, we should be able to shoot hoops this Saturday. Cool with that?" Alex asks getting a high five from Jimmy.

"Yeahhhh!" Jimmy says excitedly when they hear his mom calling him. "See you Saturday Dr. Alex." Jimmy waves as he runs to his front door.

"I'm home." Alex calls as he enters the house.

"Hey." "Hi." Boo and Quinn say. He walks towards the kitchen and notices the house has been cleaned.

"You didn't have to clean, I was going to do it this arvo but thanks." He says entering the kitchen finds Boo on her laptop and Quinn making something in the kitchen. As Alex walks passed Boo he sees the computer and pictures of Callie in her birthday suit but only showing her pregnant belly. "Damn. They're really good Boo." He says making her jump.

"Oh, you scared the crap out of me." Boo shrieks. "You weren't supposed to see these, don't tell Callie you saw them."

"Right. Oh Callie gave me your purple jacket, you left it with her the other day or something." Alex grabs the pizza out of the fridge and plonks down on the couch to catch up on the sports channel.

"Hot buns." Boo whispers nudging Alex in the shoulder. "Alex." She tries again shoving him harder and only getting a grunt. "Dude you have to go pick up Zona. Come on."

"Okay, okay I'm up. How long was out?" Alex grunts rubbing his hands over his face.

"Bout 5 hours I think." Quinn tells him swinging her arm as she plays tennis on the Wii.

"Sweet, alright I'll see you two later tonight then." Alex says grabbing his keys and heading out the door.

Alex can barely contain his excitement as he races into the airport to look at the fight boards. Scanning though all the flights he finally finds the flight from New York and finds it already landed. Making his way towards the gate he dodges around people sometimes knocking into people but finally makes it just as people have started coming out.

Scanning head after head as people flock out, waiting to see that head of blonde hair he loves. Finally spotting Arizona he takes two steps forward before he's nearly bowled over himself as a body collides with his and legs and arms wrap around him. Getting hit with the smell that's only Arizona he buries his face in her neck and squeezes her tight.

"God, I missed you." Arizona whispers.

"I missed you more." Alex says squeezing Arizona's waist as she leans back, her legs still tightly wrapped around him. Alex studies her noticing she has a much darker tan this time and her hair has gotten lighter from all the sun but her eyes are still the same blue as when she left. "You look good." Alex comments making Arizona laugh before leaning in and softly kissing his lips as her fingers knead the back of his neck. It's not rushed or fast, it's passionate and slow as Arizona gets reacquainted with him again.

When Arizona walked out of the gate and spotted Alex smiling like a little kid on Christmas she couldn't hold back and just ran for him. Over the week she had a blast in Africa with Hales doing surgery after surgery but there was always a part of her mind that was wondering about Alex and what he was doing. Never has she missed anyone so much and she was only gone a week. But when she saw the smile he always has for her she knew she wasn't the only one who had felt like she did.

As Arizona pulls back Alex nuzzles her with his nose, kissing her dimple before smiling at her and Arizona remembers the night before she left for Africa…

Drinks tonight before you leave us for a week?" Teddy asks making Arizona jump as she comes up behind her.

"Sure, I think Alex wanted to go out anyway." Arizona says slipping her phone into her pocket and facing Teddy. "Henry coming this time?"

"Yeah, he just got back from London so he's hanging to see everyone." Teddy spots Lexie and Jackson whispering behind a nurse's desk and leans into Arizona to whisper. "You think Jackson and Lexie are together?"

Arizona looks over at them, of course she knows they are because they are always over visiting and can't keep from always touching in some way. "I don't know, maybe they're trying to keep it to themselves for a little while." Arizona shrugs, she doesn't want to spill the beans about them.

"Is that what you and Alex are doing?"

"What?" Arizona shrieks turning every ones heads in their direction. "No!" Arizona whispers before pulling Teddy by the arm towards her office. Closing the door Teddy plonks down on the couch and watches Arizona pace in front of her.

Five minutes pass by and Arizona finally stops pacing and pinches the bridge of her nose. "I like Alex." Arizona whispers and looks up to see Teddy with a goldfish look on her face. "And I mean like as in romantic feeling swirling inside me, every time he smiles at me his eyes turn soft and I can see how much he cares about me. That smile, he only smiles at me like that."

"Wow." Is all Teddy can think of.

"And when I kiss him it's like we are the only people in the room, when he wraps his arms around me it makes me feel safe…" Arizona rambles on. "I'm terrified, I've only ever been with women. Boys have never had this effect on me before. And I'm scared I will get hurt because what if I… we…I don't want to get hurt again." Arizona finishes, slumping into teddy and resting her head on her shoulder.

"Sweetie, I've seen the way he looks at you and now that you've said what you have I can see that he adores you in the sweetest way. I honestly think he would do anything in his power not to hurt you." Teddy reassures wrapping an arm around Arizona to rub her back.

"You think?"

"Yeah, I can actually see you two together. It would work, I say go for it and keep it to yourselves for as long as you want." Teddy says trying to reassure her.

"Thanks Teds." Arizona as her pager starts to go off. "I've got a consult and then I'm off so I'll see you at Joes." Arizona says kissing Teddy's cheek and walking out the door.

Word had spread and nearly the whole hospital ended up at Joes that night, even Mark showed up but stayed at the other end of Joes and away from Arizona. Teddy, Henry, Jackson and Lexie well on their way to being smashed as more shots show up in front of them. Arizona stayed away from shots and heavy alcoholic drinks, only sticking to wine and a few sodas because she didn't want to have a hangover on her flight tomorrow and Alex only showing up half an hour ago because his surgery ran long.

"I'm going to grab a drink, you want anything?" Alex asks pointing to the bar.

"Just water will do." Arizona answers while trying to listen as Teddy slurs her words. Henry is at the pool tables with Hunt probably talking about the baseball game that they've been trying to plan for months.

"So, were trying. I think it's a great time and Henry has been dying to have kids." Teddy continues.

"Awww babies, have you noticed there are pregnant women everywhere lately." Lexie says an Arizona's eyes trail over to where Callie is talking with Mark, Meredith and Derek. Callie and Meredith's baby bumps being rubbed by their other halves.

"Yeah I've noticed the rise in pregnant women. I swear there's like a season where everyone decides to have a baby." Arizona says laughing. Lexie and Teddy start to rattle off baby names and coo over pictures of Zola on Lexie's phone.

Arizona's eyes wonder over to the bar wondering what is taking so long and she spots a red head make her way over to Alex and hug the man. Arizona sits u straighter and watches as Alex hugs her back, watching a conversation unfold between them as the red head runs her hand down his arm affectionately every so often making Arizona more and more annoyed. The red head grabs a napkin and writes something and hen hands it to Alex before kissing his cheek and walking away.

As Alex made his way over to her she couldn't shake this… this jealousy raging through her at the thought of another woman touching Alex. She knew she really had no right to be jealous, they weren't even together but she couldn't shake that annoying bit of jealousy the rest of the night.

"You alright?" Alex asks as he pulls into the driveway. "You've been quiet all night?"

"Yeah I'm fine." Arizona mumbles jumping to the car and heading straight inside and upstairs.

Alex leans against the frame of her bedroom door. "Have I done something to piss you off?" He asks getting annoyed. "Because you've been snippy with me all night at Joes and you were fine with me at work all day."

"I don't… I'm just tired, I'm using your shower." Arizona walks straight passed him heading for the bathroom and closes the door on Alex.

Turning the water on to warm up she drops he jeans and ass he drops her shirt and reaches to unclasp her bra the bathroom door opens. "Alex!" She jumps her arms coming up t cover nothing really.

"Seriously, I'm not leaving till you tell what's wrong." Alex says crossing his arms and not breaking eye contact.

Arizona huffs. "nothi-."

"Bullshit, tell me." He says desperately. "I can't fix it if I don't kno-."

"I don't like other woman touching you!" Arizona yells crossing her arms.

"What?" Alex asks dumbstruck.

"The red head at the bar, she was practically ready to dry hump you and you took her number." Arizona explains looking anywhere but Alex.

"She gave me her number because we use to go to med school together. She wanted to catch up and introduce me to her fiancé." Alex says trying to hold back his smirk and taking a step forward. "And just because someone touches me doesn't mean I'm doing to reciprocate it."

Arizona just feels stupid now as she looks around the room before her eyes landing on Alex as he nods and goes to turn around. Before Arizona register what's happening she pushes the door closed before Alex can walk out and pushes him up against the door. She can feel the blood pumping through her as she hops up on her toes and kisses him.

Alex is stunned as Arizona's hand trail to his shirt and lift it, she pulls back and pulls the shirt over his head before she latches back onto his lips. He begins to kiss her back with as much want and need as she is and starts to walk them towards the shower as his hands hold her hips guiding her.

Arizona gasps as she feels her back collide with the glass wall, Alex pushing his tongue in her mouth and tasting pure Arizona. He trails his hands up her back and quickly unlatches her bra and pulls it off and lets it drop to the floor. Laying open kisses along her jaw and down her neck, Arizona feels her nipples grow taught with arousal and want and Alex kisses his way across her chest.

A moan slips passed pink lips and slim finger hols the back of Alex's head as his lips latch around her nipple and flicks it with his tongue before doing the same to the other. Arizona's hand come to his belt and quickly undoing it and his jeans before pushing them and his boxers down to the ground. Alex stands back up, coming eye level with Arizona as they both breathing heavily. He smirks as Arizona's eyes flick down and go wide before finding his eyes again and swallowing loudly.

Alex hooks his fingers in her panties and pushes them down silk legs before grabbing the back of her thighs and hoisting her up and sliding her onto the bathroom bench. Never breaking eye contact Alex runs his fingers up her ribs before gently cupping both breasts making her arch into the contact, massaging them softly he leans in capturing her in another kiss that spurs her on making her hips jerk forwards before her legs wrap around Alex's hips.

Stepping back as Alex lifts Arizona, he spins them around and walks into the shower and under the steady stream of hot water. Resting his back on the wall he slides down so Arizona's straddling his lap, leaning forward he peppers her chest in kisses while his hands massage up her thighs moving closer and closer to her core. Pulling back to catch his breath he runs his eyes down Arizona's body, her breasts a perfect size with perfect pink taught nipples, his eyes travel further and land on perfectly trimmed curls and he groans. "You're beautiful." He says as he looks up navy blue eyes.

While Alex was looking at her she couldn't help but look at him. His little chest hair patch between his pecks. The way his stomach moves in and out as he takes deep breathes and finally his penis standing at attention between them. A thrill runs through her at the thought of her getting him this excited and worked up. Actually being able to see how excited you can get a man is completely different with women. He is larger than what she thought it would be and she can feel the nervous butterflies in her stomach. "You're huge." She says back to his comment making him laugh and her giggle. "Alex I don't… I don't think I'm quite ready for… that." She says a little embarrassed nodding her he towards his crotch making him chuckle.

"I know." He says making her gasp as he runs his fingertips through her folds before circling her throbbing clit.

"Fuck…" Arizona gasps out as her hips start to roll, connecting her lips with his again and driving her tongue in his mouth. A whimper escapes her mouth as applies pressure to her clit before entering her with one digit. Resting her forehead against Alex's, he pulls out of her slowly dragging his finger down her walls.

Her pink lip disappears between white teeth as Arizona concentrates on not going over the edge to quickly. "Mo… more." She grounds out as he enters her again with on finger. "Ahh…Alex." Moaning his name as two fingers delve deep into her, muscles contracting and gripping tight to his fingers.

"Fuck, you're so tight babe." Alex groans and he feels himself grow impossibly tighter.

Arizona lifts herself and slams back down on his hand, moaning at the sensation coursing through her. Reaching down she wraps her hand around him and pumps his shaft as she bounces up and down on Alex's hand.

Alex is transfixed as he watches Arizona threw her head back in pleasure as she goes up and down. He has never seen a vision so hot in his entire life, he feels Arizona hold more tightly to him and his start to move with her. "You feel amazing." He husks not sure if he's talking about his fingers being inside her or her hand wrapped around his erection.

"I-I'm close." Arizona says locking eyes with him, only briefly closing them as she feel Alex's thumb come in contact with her bundle of nerves. Blue and brown locked on each other as Arizona pushes harder making his fingers hit her sweet spot inside. Alex holds her hip with his free hand to steady her rhythm, he feels his stomach start to pull but tries to hold off for Arizona.

Alex feels her slide nearly all the way of his fingers only to push down all the way again, once, twice and the third time she's done for and her walls clamp on his fingers as she moans loudly and her legs quaking in pleasure making him release as well, moaning Arizona's name.

Arizona rests her forehead against his shoulder letting go of his rod as they catch their breath. Pulling his finger out of her when she lifts her hips, he brings his arms around her waist pulling her to him as the get there bearings back as the water pelt down on them.

"That was amazing." Arizona pants kissing Alex's shoulder then neck and jaw all the way to his lips.

"Better than amazing." Alex whispers against her lips making her smile as he nuzzles his nose into her cheek. "How about we finish showering and get to bed, we have to be up early to make your flight."

"Fine…" Arizona groans and stands on shaky legs before helping Alex up.

"Hey you, you're all scruffy." Arizona breathes taking in the Alex's soft brown eyes and light stubble growing through. She kisses him one more time before slipping down onto her feet.

"Hey yourself, I fell asleep before picking you up and forgot to shave." Alex beams as he grabs her backpack and loops an arm around her shoulders as they head towards baggage claim. "How was your flight?"

Unbeknownst to the two, totally oblivious to two sets of eyes that have been watching the whole thing since Arizona came out of the gate.

"Did that really just happen?" Jackson asks as him and Lexie watch Arizona laugh and wrap an arm around Alex's waist and put her hand in his back pocket.

"I don't even know if that actually happened." Lexie says shocked. "Arizona did run up and kiss Alex, right?"

"I didn't even know Arizona liked dudes."

"You think we should say anything to them or just keep what we saw to ourselves?" Lexie asks.

"Ourselves. Come on we can talk about what we saw over dinner. How was your visit with your sister?" Jackson asks pulling Lexie along

Arizona walks out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel to put moisturiser on her legs. "Oh my god, I didn't know you wore glasses." Arizona laughs as she pulls them off his face and puts them on.

"I can't wear my contacts all the time, they irritate my eyes." Alex reasons placing the medical journal on his side table. "You look too cute."

Arizona shrieks as Alex jumps on her and tickles her sides. "These are like Clark Kent glasses." Arizona says pulling them off and looking at them. Looking at Alex she sees a flush spread across his cheeks. "That's why you got them isn't it?" Arizona giggles.

"So what if I did." Alex says grabbing his glasses and chucking them on the arm chair in the corner as he starts to kiss down Arizona's neck.

"Mmm, so much better without the scruff." Arizona chuckles before moaning as Alex sucks on her pulse point.

Alex tugs the knot on the towel and it fall's open and his eyes travel down Arizona's body. Hands landing either side of her head, Alex hovers over Arizona and smiles at her. Leaning in for a scorching kiss, Arizona leaned up into it kissing him back hungrily and sucking on his tongue. Alex's and trailed down from her breast towards her sex and he runs his fingers through her already drenched folds making her legs open for him to settle between them.

"Mmm Alex…" Arizona moans against his lips, her hands pushing on his shoulders.

Getting the hint Alex makes his way south to Arizona's breasts. Ghosting hot breathe over a pink nipple and watching it go hard before wrapping his lips around it, Arizona's fingers lock in his hair pushing his further into her chest. Her hips jerk as she feels his finger tip flick the end of her clit before circling it with his fingers.

"Yo, you two want to- OH MY GOD. My eyes." Boo shrieks quickly covering them as Arizona pull Alex down to cover her whole body.

"Shut the door!" Arizona exclaims. Once the door is shut she pushes Alex off of her and reaches for her robe at the end of the bed. She turns around to see Alex resting against the headboard pulling a pillow over his crotch. "I'm just going…" Arizona flicks her thumb over her shoulder and Alex nods.

Walking down the hall she sees Boo at the bottom of the stairs. "Boo, seriously, knock next time."

"I didn't think you would be naked getting… getting… getting fingered." Boo exclaims. Arizona can her Quinn snuff a laugh and the word 'kinky' is whispered. "That picture is burned into my mind forever. Since when has all this been going on? Are you two together?"

"Well we've been kissing for a while and then before I left we had a fight and then ended up doing stuff after we sorted your disagreement out." Arizona shrugs.

"Are you together, together? As in proper couple." Boo asks.

Arizona looks at boo and then all over the hallway trying to figure out what to say. "I… we… we haven't really talked about it… yet, it kind of just happened."

"Okay…" Boo says processing everything that has happened. "Hearing you talk about it and seeing you cuddling and actually seeing that." She gestures up stairs. "I'm just wrapping my head around it all. Do you want to be with?"

"Boo I can't talk about this right now, I just came down here to tell you to knock next time… and wait for an answer." Arizona explains tightening her robe.

"Oh yeah of course, I have just one more question?" Boo asks and Arizona nods. "How is hot buns without the pants?"

Arizona laughs in disbelief and turns towards the stairs but turns on the first step. "Amazing!" She whispers and races up the stair with Boo and Quinn giggling down stairs.

"I'm back." Arizona says closing the door and jumping on the bed and straddling Alex. "So…?"

Alex flips them so Arizona's on the bottom again and goes for the knot on her robe but is stopped by Arizona's hands. "You ok?"

"Yeah I just… what are we doing?" She asks out of the blue. "Are we together? Are just fooling around? I need to know what this is between us." She whispers.

Alex rolls to his side and brushes blonde curls out of the way. "Well when I say I like you, I mean I REALLY like you. I would love for there to be an us but I'm leaving it up to you. I'm happy to go at your pace. Just know I want to be with you." Alex finishes his little speech and gets lost in deep blue as they study him.

"I know I could fall for you. I already am and I didn't even realize it until it started. I want there to be an us I'm just not ready for everybody to know just yet. We beside Hales and Boo because they kind of already know." Arizona rambles. "I'm just nervous and I don't want to lose you, ever."

"So were together as in just you and me." Alex smiles down at her kissing her softly.

"Just you and me." Arizona says as Alex settles between her legs again and picks up on where they left off.

not too rushed i hope :)
