The days went as usual in GSMH. The board was full and everyone busy. Yet, it was not going to be a typical day. Eliza was going to work with Richard in the OR for the first time. Jo was going to perform a cholecystectomy as the lead surgeon and Richard was going to be the one assisting her. The entire hospital was talking about the procedure; was that a sign that Richard was finally giving in and accepting that Eliza's program wasn't that bad? As she heard the news, Arizona texted Eliza.

[Arizona] ** You didn't tell me you were working with Ricard today! **

[Eliza] ** I didn't know either, until the case came in! **

[Arizona] ** Well, if I don't see you until then, good luck! **

After giving her patient and her husband a heads up on the procedure, Jo, Richard and Eliza headed to the OR's to check on everything before taking the patient there. As they walked upstairs, a, excited voice greeted them:

[Arizona] Hey! I've heard about the surgery! Are you excited?

[Jo] I actually am a little anxious

Jo grinned a little, trying to look not so nervous.

[Arizona] I'm sure you'll be just fine. You're in good hands here.

Arizona smiled and her eyes crossed Eliza's for a second, but they were interrupted.

[Richard] Hum, Dr. Wilson, I think we forgot to tell the patient something.

Jo looked worried.

[Jo] Oh my gosh, did I screw up already?

[Eliza] No, you did perfect. (She turned her head to Richard)

Didn't she?

[Richard] Yes, but I think we should go there and tell them

what we forgot while Dr. Minnick can go ahead and check the OR for you.

Arizona smiled at Richard. He was trying to give them a second alone.

[Jo] Ok, see you in the OR.

Jo started to walk back downstairs and Richard followed her right after. He gave Arizona a serious yet playful look and nodded.

[Richard] Dr. Robbins.

[Arizona] Bye Dr. Webber.

As soon as the door closed, Eliza turned to Arizona confused.

[Eliza] Ok, what just happened? Is he …

She couldn't finish her phrase. Arizona held her lab coat's lapel and kissed her softly.

[Arizona] This one is for good luck.

Then she kissed the brunette again, this time, more passionately.

[Arizona] And this one is for you to remember what you are coming home tonight to.

Arizona was still holding onto Eliza's lapel, keeping their bodies close to each other. She couldn't help but smile at Eliza's confusion.

[Eliza] Hum, thank you and I'm not following.

[Arizona] Well, I did a little bit of research and I know that you get off at 10 tonight. I wanted to cook for you, but after I get off, I'm going to watch Zola, Bailey and Ellis and then it will be too late to cook for you, so I figured pizza and beer would be a good second option. Also, I am off tomorrow and I know you are too. Yes, I know, I really put in work into this stalker thing today. Anyhow, I wanted to take you somewhere on your day off, but it's a little bit of a drive, so we would have to leave early. Also, I have a king size bed all for myself, and a really good shower, and I think you could stay the night so I wouldn't have to wake up too early to go get you at your flat and then drive there.

Eliza gave a big smile as she gazed at Arizona's blue eyes. She loved when the blonde talked like that, being bossy, with everything figured out.

[Eliza] Are you asking me to stay over at your place, Dr. Robbins?

[Arizona] Well, yes. But of course it's just because it would be easier the next morning.

Arizona grinned. The playfulness between them was something Arizona loved. She always felt so light and happy like she hadn't felt in a long time.

[Eliza] Well, I can't say no to free food, let alone free beer. And I guess I can stay over then… For the sake of your sleep, of course.

They both laughed and Arizona pulled Eliza closer and gave her one more kiss before she let her go and start walking downstairs.

[Arizona] I'll see you later, Dr. Minnick. Good luck again.

[Eliza] For sure you will and thank you, Dr. Robbins.
