***** Sorry for being so late guys! I dislocated my elbow so it was real hard to type with one hand only. Anyhow, already getting better and with a couple more chapters already lined up. I was thinking of making this a Monday/Thursday story (at least over the Summer)... let me know what you think about it! *****
The rest of the evening went perfect; Eliza and Arizona stayed in the backyard talking for what it felt like hours, talking about the widest range of topics: from high school crushes to favorite race car drivers and from best trips to landscaping, the 6 pack of Blue Moons wasn't enough to fuel their conversation. They were half way through the second bottle of chardonnay. Eliza was sitting comfortably on the corner of the futon, resting her back against the pillows and her legs entangled with Arizona's.
[Arizona] What are your favorite places on Earth?
[Eliza] Besides my bed and Dunkin Donuts?
Arizona smirked as she pushed Eliza's shoulder.
[Arizona] Silly. Like cities, countries...
[Eliza] Hm... tough one. I love New Jersey because well, that's where I grew up... And I hate stereotyping, but I think it's hard to argue that I'm not a Jersey Girl..
Eliza paused and pointed at the empty beers and pizza box.
[Eliza] I also love Philly. Besides the Philly cheese steaks, of course, I spent the best and worst years of my life there as a surgical resident at Perelman. I love Nashville; This path, with my intern teaching program, started there and the city made me fall in love with country music.
Arizona grinned and rolled her eyes. Eliza seemed shocked that Arizona did not enjoy country music.
[Eliza] What?! Would you not sing out loud to Shania? Ugh, we're definitely going to have to work on that. Anyways, I also love Costa Rica. I went there a couple of years ago on a missionary trip and I cannot forget how warm people were. Also, the weather and landscape are just breathtaking. It made me fall in love with the idea of living by the beach. And I love rainy Seattle...
[Arizona] So you love Seattle because of the rain?
Arizona was confused.
[Eliza] I love Seattle because it's where I fell in love with you.
They gazed into each others eyes for a couple of seconds. Arizona had the prettiest smile on her face and Eliza couldn't take her eyes off of her. She quickly grabbed her phone and snapped a picture of Arizona before she pulled the blonde to a tender, loving kiss. Eliza had a tight grip on Arizona's jacket, making her slightly lean over her. The blonde's hands were resting over Eliza's thigh, and as the kiss got more intense, Arizona's hands began to explore Eliza's curves with more demand, sending chills all over her body.
[Arizona] How about a bath before bed?
[Eliza] Wow, Robbins, you're fast! Not only did you invite me to a sleepover, but you've got a bath planned for us?
[Arizona] Well... Yeah... For starters.
Already undressed, Arizona was sitting on the edge of the bathtub, putting shower salts in the water. Beneath a thin curtain of steam, she pulled Eliza closer and gave her a kiss on her thigh. In the background, the running water became a sweet melody with Lana Del Rey's "Video Game" playing in the speaker. Heaven is a place on Earth with you, Arizona whispered to Eliza, singing along with the song as she took her underwear off, making sure to rest a kiss on the brunette's legs as she went down.
Arizona began to make her way up touching and kissing every inch of Eliza's body. The electricity between them was palpable; both women lost in their own minds.
Eliza was the first one to step into the bath tub, followed right away by Arizona. They were in a sort of frenzy moment, enjoying every feeling, kiss and touch. Using every ounce of strength in her body, Arizona pulled away a little:
[Arizona] I think our bath has become a Barcelona foam party.
Both looked around, laughing as they saw all the foam flooding the bathroom.
[Eliza] Well, I can cross that one off my bucket list: Barcelona foam party with hot chicks.
She smiled and pulled Arizona closer.
[Eliza] So, you never told me where were going tomorrow... For the record, I'm already impressed you'd flood your bathroom just so I can cross an item out off my list.
[Arizona] Ha. First: it is a secret. Second: this was totally unintentional and I'm a cripple, Miss. You're cleaning up this mess!
[Eliza] Oh, so now you're a cripple
The energy around them seemed to be so strong it could take over the entire city. For both of them, it was the first time in a very long time they felt that carefree and just happy.
