You ready?
I got changed whilst my girlfriend went to leave a word for Bailey. As she got the taxi here, I said I would give her a lift home. Home. My home? Or her home? I wasn't sure. Of course I wanted to spend more time with her but we hadn't spent any time at each other's houses yet. We always went out for food and sometimes we went to the park. Just… not our homes because we both have house mates. I lived with Andrew and she lived with her cousin, the one I thought she spent the night with. They always spent time together but nothing like that of course. She just came back from Washington and she was exhausted for sure. I didn't mean to do anything. We could just relax and have some breakfast. We both wouldn't need to go to work tomorrow so we could really start our days off now.
We agreed to meet at my car but we didn't say what to do next. Leaning on my car door, I was waiting for my beautiful girlfriend. There she was!
'Hey! Sorry to keep you waiting!' Eliza gave me the biggest grin.
'My pleasure.' I couldn't give her a bigger smile. 'Let's go!' I motioned for her to get in my car.
'Where are we going? Eliza asked as she buckled up. She apparently sounded excited.
'Um where do you want to go? I can give you a lift home if you are tired. You might want to sleep all day after the flight.'
'Do you want me to go home? You have something to do?' Her green eyes looked into mine with an adorable pout.
'No baby, don't get me wrong. I just don't want you to be too exhausted. Of course I would like us to spend some time together. I missed you. So much. I just…' Knowing that I had something on my mind, Eliza grabbed my hand.
'What is it Arizona? Tell me.' She looked serious. I wasn't sure if I could ask this and I was scared of what she would say.
'I…I mean…are we okay? I know you are back now but I need to know if we are good. I am so sorry I was horrible to you and now…you are sitting in my car holding my hand. Everything doesn't look real. It's too good to be true. You know? Good things never happen to me.' I furrowed my brows and dropped my gaze. Looking at us holding each other's hands, it was unbelievable. I couldn't believe it was what I was seeing.
Eliza lifted my chin and squeezed my hand. 'Listen honey, no more apologies, okay?' I closed my eye and slightly nodded. 'I just want us to be happy from now on. We both did wrong but why don't we start this all over again and give ourselves another chance? Do you still remember what you promised me the other night in that on call room?'
'Yes, of course.'
'Are you still willing to keep your promise?
'Only if you want me to. You know how scared I was when I thought you were being kept hostage. I can't imagine what would happen if you didn't come back. I need you Eliza.' I gave her a sad smile.
'You know what? I was thinking the same. The first thing I wanted to do after I realised I was lucky to leave early was to come back to you, take you into my arms and kiss you.' She smirked as she leant in closer. I removed a stray of hair from my her face with my fingers. She grabbed my hand quickly and placed a kiss on my palm then put it back on her cheek. I had been waiting for this moment, where I could see her, touch her, smell her…but it had been a while since I last kissed her so I was a little hesitant. She sensed that too. 'Arizona, I know we are not in the best place now but we will be. I am more than happy to have come back to you. If you are worried about anything, tell me so I can share you worries but right now I don't see anything bad in front of me but my beautiful, kind and sweet girlfriend.' She closed the distance between us carefully and put her lips against mine. This was the first time in a while that I got to taste her lipstick again. I missed it. I missed this. Biting down my lower lip, she swiped her tongue on it. I knew what she wanted so I would give her that. Spreading my lips apart, she heated our kiss up with her tongue inside my mouth. The taste of coffee was still in her breath but I liked that. It just reminded me of her presence and how real she was.
Parting for some air, she smiled against my lips. 'I don't want to go home…' She whispered. 'Unless I have a guest like you. We could grab some food. We could have a nice cup of tea. We could…' Wow, honestly I didn't expect that. At least not from her. But I was happy that she said it. I was thinking about how to make that move but gladly she did it first. I was surprised to hear that so I didn't know what to say and the awkward silence came between us. 'I mean you don't have to though, I understand. It's no big deal and I can see you later. I have just come back and you might have other stuff to do…' I cut her off with my lips crashing into hers again. I went for more this time and she gave me more. I trailed down her neck and placed soft kisses on it, leaving my lipstick marks, which were adorable by the way. I wanted everyone to know who left those marks on it. 'Mmmm.' Eliza's hand was in my hair, roaming down to my neck and my back. Realising that we were still in my car at the hospital, I decided to calm myself down and gave a final kiss on her earlobe.
'I don't have other stuff to do.' I whispered under her ear. Her heavy breathing was too loud that she almost didn't hear me.
Thanks for reading. Let me know what you think please so that I know if I should keep going or where Arizona and Eliza should go:)
