Thanks for your continuous support! Sorry, this is a short chapter but I hope you will like it!


Falling asleep in each other's arms was pretty good. I would say it was one of the best things so far. I knew it had only been a day since we started our trip but I had already enjoyed it very much. I meant, we hadn't been any more intimate than we did before but having Eliza by my side all the time, listening to her voice and her breathing while she was sleeping was perfect. I thought it would be hard to keep my hands off of my hot girlfriend. It turned out being easier than I thought it would be. I guessed watching her sleep in the morning had become my favourite thing to do now. She looked absolutely adorable while she was sleeping. Much as I loved staying in the bed with her, I desperately needed the loo. I climbed off the bed carefully, fully aware of my sleepy girlfriend's presence.

I finished what I had to do in the bathroom and got ready while Eliza was still sleeping, totally unaware that I had already gotten up. Slowly walking back to the bed, I couldn't stop staring at the sleeping beauty who was laying on her stomach with both of her hands underneath the pillow. I sat beside her and couldn't help but gently caress her face, then her hair.

'Wake up, sleepy girl.' I whispered in her ear and tickled her on the waist, making her to roll away from me and give me her back.

'Mmm, go away!' She was apparently annoyed by me so she pulled the cover up to her head. What a lovely girlfriend I had!

'Wake up please! We have so much to do today!' I decided to climb into bed again, pull down her cover and place lots of small kisses on her temple, cheeks, ears, all the way to her neck, causing giggles from my grumpy girlfriend. Then my alarm on my phone went off. I had to get out of the bed and turn it off. Noticing a few notifications on my phone, I tried to read and replied them. All from my parents asking me about the trip.

Eliza finally got up while I was texting them back. Wrapping her arms around my waist, I felt her tight embrace and I really liked that honestly. Turning around to catch her eyes, I gave her a pout. 'Well… Dr Minnick, you just asked me to go away.'

'You know I didn't mean that.' Slightly pushing her away, she gave me a groan and I couldn't suppress my laughter anymore. She suddenly pulled me into her arms. It was a very tight embrace, which she hadn't given me lately. The silence fell between us. I wasn't sure if there was anything wrong. Maybe she was just emotional in the morning so I just quietly stroked her hair and held her waist. But seconds had passed… she still gave me nothing.

'Hey baby, what's wrong?' I asked with a soft voice.

'Nothing. Just… hold me.'

'Okay…' I was a little confused now.

'You know what? I haven't been this happy for a very long time. I thought I would never find someone who would truly respect and love me after all those people I had come across. So, I just need to hug you to convince myself that you're real and that you're really with me now.' She said as she buried her head in my hair.

'I would love to hug you every day. Look, we are together. And of course I'm real. I'm not some kind of robots. But you're right, I love you. I do love you, Eliza Minnick.' I said as I pulled back and placed a kiss on her lips.

'I love you, too. I can't believe that we love each other!' Her adorable smile appeared on her beautiful face.

'You silly! Of course we do. Now, please go get ready because I'm very hungry!' We released each other so I could get some food soon!


Dr Eliza Minnick, who was always brave and confident in front of her colleagues and students at work, had never been on my mind as a fragile woman before we started dating. I never would have assumed her to be the type which needed reassurance. I was somehow glad that I made the decision to go on a trip with her. Actually, where we were going didn't matter at all. As long as she was happy with me and we could have every single chance to get to know more about each other, I would happily go anywhere with her. The morning laziness, grumpiness, snuggles and the three words hadn't been expected at all before this trip but I did love them all. I loved Eliza and everything about her. While I was waiting for her to get changed, I couldn't stop smiling and looking forward to the rest of our journey. After all we had both been through these years and the recent uncertainty in our hearts, I was feeling lucky that we had both found each other and we could just leave everything behind and go to somewhere that nobody was supposed to know us. No Avery. No Richard. No Bailey. I loved my colleagues, every single one! But I disliked how they had treated Eliza and the awkward position that they had put me in. So now, at least I could escaped from them for some time and enjoy England with my girlfriend.

'Arizona, you ready to go?' Eliza asked as she put her earrings on.

'Yeah, I need some breakfast so badly, please!'

'Lead the way, Dr Robbins!'

Taking her hand, I was more than ready to have some fun in London and let every English know that the gorgeous woman beside me was mine!
