Eliza woke up the next morning without opening her eyes. Her head felt like a heard of baby elephants were walking all over it. She didn't remember much from the night before or how she got home. Eliza turned away from the window to save herself a little pain from the bright light before slowly opening her eyes, once they adjusted a little she noticed she was at Arizona's house and not her hotel. Confused. She saw a glass of water and some painkillers next to the bed for which she was very grateful.

Slowly easing herself up, Eliza took the painkillers with the water before she spotted the note next to them. She picked up the note and read it

Hey,

Hope you're not feeling too hungover this morning. You were pretty drunk last night.

I let you sleep because you're off today. Call me when you wake up.

It's a good job I love you ;-)

Arizona xx

Eliza smiled to herself. It had been a long time since someone had cared enough to make sure she wasn't feeling too bad after getting drunk. Picking her phone up off the bedside table she dialled her girlfriends number.

"Hey you, how are you feeling?" Arizona said after a couple of rings in her overly perky cheerful voice.

"Ugh can you dial it back a bit? My head feels like a truck ran over it." Eliza complained, causing Arizona to chuckle to herself.

"Yeah I'm not surprised, you were pretty drunk last night you know." Arizona said stating the obvious, trying to sound a little annoyed about it.

"I'm really sorry about that." Eliza felt guilty for the state she had got herself in and couldn't remember most of what had happened.

"It's ok, but maybe next time tell me you're going for a drink before you go so I know what to expect when I see you" The blonde suggested, teasing Eliza just a bit.

"Uhhhhh Arizona?" Eliza questioned, "what did I do? I only remember bits and pieces." This caused Arizona to laugh loudly down the phone, making Eliza grimace at the noise and the thought of what she might have done.

"What do you remember?" Arizona asked, still grinning to herself. She could have some fun here.

"Um, well I remember getting fired and going to Joe's, after that, not so much." Eliza felt pretty bad for whatever she did when she met Arizona because she knew if she couldn't remember she must have been horrifically drunk.

Arizona was laughing again. When she finally managed to stop she gave Eliza the highlights.

"Well, I was leaning against your car waiting for you and you came stumbling over to it, you tried to get me to let you drive it." At this point Eliza already knew she was in trouble here. "You told me you wanted to take me home and get me naked. Eventually I got you in the car and I drove us home. You wouldn't let me help you inside. You're very stubborn you know?" Arizona questioned almost to herself before continuing. "I tried to lock my front door and you pretty much jumped me in the hallway. Also you're really loud when you're drunk." Arizona was smirking.

Eliza had her eyes closed but now, she was shaking her head at herself.

"I am so so sorry. I can't believe I did that stuff."

"We did have some of the best sex I've had in a long time, so it was kind of worth it, even if I had to undress myself." Arizona teased again.

"Oh god." Eliza was internally cursing herself, she couldn't remember any of that, she really wished she could.

"Oh and I have a massive hickey on my collarbone so I owe you for that one." Arizona was giggling to herself now.

"Ok please stop. I don't think I need to know anything else I did." Eliza was mortified with her behaviour.

"It's alright, you're kind of fun drunk, when you aren't being pissy." Eliza could tell Arizona was smiling which eased her a little.

"Mmmm ok, I'm still sorry though."

"Eliza, stop apologising, it's fine, at least you didn't puke on me." This caused Eliza to laugh, remembering one of the first times she spent the night with the blonde because she had to take her home from Joe's. "I need to go, I'm being paged, will you be at my house when I get home?"

"If you want me to be, I didn't have anything planned today, which is good because I feel like shit." Eliza said causing Arizona to laugh again.

"You better be there when I get home. Make yourself at home and I'll see you later ok?" Arizona said making Eliza feel better about last night. She hadn't managed to scare Arizona off yet.

"Ok, see you later then. I love you and I'm still sorry." Eliza said.

"I love you too, bye" Arizona said before hanging up and attending to her page.

After the blonde hung up, Eliza put her phone back on the bedside table and pulled herself from Arizona's bed to fill up her glass with more water in the ensuite, before returning to it and snuggling down under the covers. It was strange for her to be in Arizona's bed without her but she was so comfortable and wanted to try and sleep some more. Her head was still pounding and the painkillers hadn't helped any yet.

Eliza drifted to sleep quite quickly. Waking up quite a few hours later to the sound of her phone vibrating on the bedside table. She sleepily reached for it before noticing it was a text from Arizona.

AR: How you feeling now? I miss you today, it's no fun when you're not here. Xx

Eliza smiled, Arizona always managed to make her feel better. Make her feel wanted, even when everyone else hated her.

EM: Hey, feeling a bit better. You woke me up! I miss you too, weird being in your bed by myself. Xx

AR: Mmmmm you're still in my bed? Sorry I woke you xx

EM: Yep in your bed and still wearing the same as last night ;-) wish you were here. Xx

AR: You haven't got dressed? At all? Xx

EM: Nope, not yet, still naked xx

AR: Mmmmm xx

EM: What you up to? Xx

AR: Stuck in a consult with Avery and Richard, thinking about you being naked in my bed ;-) xx

EM: Sounds real fun! Can't you just come home? Xx

AR: I wish I could. I have a cure for a headache you know ;-) Xx

EM: Haha, tell me more. It's still pounding :-( xx

AR: Wish I could tell you more. Back to the grindstone. Be home in 2 hours xx

EM: Ok. See you soon :-) xx

Eliza decided she should probably get out of Arizona's bed and at least put some clothes on. She went to Arizona's chest of draws and pulled out her Hopkins hoody and a pair of trackies, that she had borrowed before, pulling them on before heading downstairs to make some herself some coffee.

She walked into the kitchen, opening the cupboard where the mugs were kept pulling one out, Eliza was closing the door when she spotted the pack of cigarettes on the shelf, suddenly she had a flash back of the night before. Arizona smokes. She remembered the blondes explanation of why. Eliza wanted to talk to her about that when she got home.

When Eliza had filled her mug with coffee she headed to the living room, sitting on the sofa just watching TV for a couple of hours. Until Arizona arrived home.
