Leah POV

It's been 2 weeks since we started classes and I'm doing somewhat fine, Arizona has been the best professor so far, and I'm not saying that because i find her incredibly attractive with all of her professor outfits, seems like she tries to look better every single day.

The last time we talked alone i said her eyes have a sparkle and i wasn't lying. From there i tried to just go to class, do my work and leave, i notice she's not wearing her engagement ring. I wonder if they have talked, the flowers her ex sent didn't even lasted long, they're already looking old and sad. My father always says that if flowers are given with the right intention and love they should last for about 2 weeks, every single arrangement he has sent to mom last that long so he might be into something. I'm not superstitious but Arizona's arrangement made me think about it, because her ex probably sent them because she feels guilty and wants Arizona to forgive her and if you ask me neither of those are the right reasons to send flowers.

I've been studying with Ashley in the library most days, she's actually really funny, we talk about her boyfriend and how crazy he makes her but also how great their sex life is. We also talk about my life, the fact that my parents have no idea their perfect daugther is not interested in man whatsoever, honestly i'm not sure how they haven't realized it or maybe they have they just decide to ignore it. I know Mom will not be fine with it, i'm her only daugther, she has always say how perfect my wedding will be, i've known i like girls for years but in my house that's not something we talk about, oh and to make matters less embarrassing i lied to Ashley about my none existent sex life, only because she talks about hers so much i didn't know how to tell her that i've never done it all the way.

So yes i am a 21 year old woman that is still a virgin and i'm not sure how i feel about it, in a way i am fine with it because i haven't felt it's the right time with anyone so i guess its a good thing i didnt waste it on the girls i dated before but it's pathethic, now days no one waits this long to do it. Not even my younger brother Leo, he's only 17 and he already did it, i only know it because he made sure to let me and James know how "grown" he is.

I have 2 brothers and i'm the middle child, my older brother James, knows about my preferences but he's the only one, and he only find out because when my ex cheated on me he found me crying when he got home and demanded to know who had hurt me because he was going to "beat their ass", so when i told him he took me to dinner and we talked more in depth about it. James has always been very private with his life too so he understood why i hadn't said anything sooner. I know Father might be able to go around it and find a way to accept it but Mom won't, she's very set on her ways and does not care how normal other people make it, in her eyes things work one way and one way only, and truly that is a conversation i'm not ready to have until i have a reason strong enough to do it.

I was off work for the first week of school and this week wasn't too busy, tonight i go back to work and i can't wait, bartending has thought me that work doesn't have to be boring, most nights are interesting and there is always someone drunk enough to tell me a story.

Arizonas POV

It's only been two weeks of school and I'm completely drained, not necesarilly because of my students, more because of everything else happening. Cassie hasn't stopped calling me and last night she told me she would show up to my job, so i decided to talk to her tonight and get this over with.

Its 10 minutes past 7 when i hear a knock on my door, as i'm heading to open it i can see the handle turning, naturally Cassie has a key to my home which i'm glad she hasn't use but also it's the reason why i locked my door from the inside.

"You lock the door from inside now?" she asks as i open the door and she walks in, looking as beautiful as always but my heart doesn't do a jump like it used to every time i saw her before.

"Well you still have a key so yeah" i say nonchalant, walking away towards the living room.

"Come on Zona..." she says walking towards me as i walk back.

"Cassie what are you doing?" i say but she doesn't stop she walks towards me until my back is against the wall of my living room.

"what am I doing?" she asks this time unnecessarily close to me "fixing this" she says getting impossibly close to me

"Cassie we are done!" i say but she's not listening.

"it was one mistake Arizona, One! let me fix it" she says putting a piece of my hair behind my ear before she kisses me.

The kiss doesn't last long, she really is entitled "Cassie i said stop" i say as i push her away.

"Alright then" she says pulling away and sitting in the couch "what is it going to take?" she asks.

"nothing Cassie, there is no fixing us and i need you to understand that" i say this time a little louder than I intented.

"You're fucking kidding right? we are engaged, most of the wedding is already planned out Arizona!" she says loud too.

"Well that didn't stop you, did it ?" i say with a sad smile.

"I'm not seeing her anymore, it stopped when you found us, she's been calling me and I'm here, what else do you want?" she says with a smirk in her face that pisses me off.

"what else do I want?" i say getting close to her face so she can hear me clearly, "i want you out of my life, you and everytihng that comes with you" i get up and head to the kitchen where i have a box with all of the things Cassie has left here before.

"Here, everything should be there, if you're missing something just let me know and i will look for it" i say handing her the box.

"You can't do this! without a chance, without a second chance!" she says and shes mad i can see it in her face i know cassie too well to know when she's about to go off.

"I can, and i just did, now please give me the key" i say reaching out my hand infront of her.

"No, i'm not giving you anything, you haven't even thought this through" she says as she puts the box on the floor. "What is it? you found a replacement already?" she says smirking.

"I can't believe you just said that, you are unbelievable, Get the fuck out of my house, I mean it Cassie, NOW!" i say walking towards the door. "i will change the locks I don't need the stupid key" i say as i open the door for her to leave.

"What? touch a nerve there, so you do have someone else, alright then do whatever you have to do and let's continue our life together" she says taking my hand from the door handle.

"I said leave, Our life together was over the moment you decided to fuck her, go back to her Cassie, i don't care just leave me alone" i say pulling my hand away from hers. "Take this with you too" i say reaching into my jeans pocket and giving her back my engagement ring.

"You will regret this Arizona, and in no time you will be back to me, you'll see" she says grabbing her box from the floor and walking out.

"No I won't, this is the one thing I won't regret Cass" i say as i close the door while she's standing on the other side of it.

Cassie left about 30 minutes ago and as soon as i heard her driving away the tears came back, she really sees nothing wrong with what she did and feels so entitled that she is sure i will go back to her, I don't know exactly what she was expecting but her attitude made it all worst, walking in here thinking that i would just let her kiss me and do whatever else she had in mind so we could 'fix it', like im just a toy she can come back and play with when she's bored, shes completely out of her mind. I'm so mad because of her, how did i not see it? how could i be so stupid to believe i was all she wanted.

I text my bestfriend hoping he's back in town so we can go out, it's friday night i will not sit here and cry all night because of Cassie, i'm tired of that.

Please tell me you are back in town! -Az.

Just got in this morning, what's going on? -Dx

Come, we are going out tonight! -Az

Everything ok in paradise city? You never go out on Fridays, fridays are for you and Cassie. -Dx

There is no paradise, i will tell you everything once you're here, also there is no Cassie anymore -Az

On my way! -Dx

I didn't tell Daxon about Cassie, he was out in California on a business trip and if i told him he would've dropped what he was doing to come, which i appreciate but also i knew this was an important trip for him and I didn't want to ruin it. Within 20 minutes of the last text Daxon is at my house.

"What the hell do you mean by no more paradise and no more Cassie!" he says standing in my doorstep while he's holding our favorite bottle of wine

"Before i tell you, let's open that up!" i say pointing at the bottle, and moving aside so he can come in.

We are half way through our glasses when i start talking.

"She cheated on me" i say looking down.

"She what? i will kill her, i swear on anything, i'm going to kill her, i never liked her i knew there was something off about her, fucking bitch!" he's mad really mad but he continues "when did this happen? why didnt you call me? I would've come earlier from Cali"

"2 weeks ago Friday, i went to her place because i thought since she was working late, that i could surprise her with dinner" i say looking down again "Goes without say that i was the surprised one when i walked in and she was fucking Joan in the living room" i say and the tears start falling again "our picture from the vacation at my parents was still on top of her coffee table, she couldn't even take it down" i say and he hugs me.

Daxon is not one to be physical and i know it, we rarely hug but he's hugging me tighter than he ever has "Fucking bitch Zona, i fucking hate her"

"you and me both Dax" i say when he pulls away from me to fill our glasses again "she was here before i texted you, she's been calling me non stop, she even sent me flowers to work! when did she ever did that ?" i say with a sad smile.

"I hope you told her to go fuck herself, as you should!" he says giving me a look.

"oh I did!, i had all of her stuff in a box for her to take back and i also gave her back my ring" i say reaching my hand out to show him.

"I'm so sorry Zona, you deserve so much better!, i'm also so mad at her, i could kill her!" he says loudly

"me too Dax, me too! but enough about her, how was your trip? did you close the deal on the apartment complex?" as i finish talking his face lights up.

"Yes! you are looking at the new owner of Bella vista apartments!" he says smiling "it was pretty much a done deal when i got there, the team they got there is amazing i met this couple, they will be overseeing all the renovations that need to be done and they also offered me a partnership on their housing company, they are stupid rich Zona, i'm talking over the top rich, the husband pulled out a check for 250,000 to start as soon as we signed the sale contract!" this time i'm the one hugging him.

"Dax, Why are we even talking about Cassie" i say giving him a look "we have to celebrate this, let me go change, tonight we are both getting shitface drunk" i say while im walking to my room.

I didn't tell Daxon about Leah and I don't plan to, we both could get in trouble, plus it was just one kiss that i might or might not want to keep all for myself. 15 minutes later i'm walking back from my room ready to go out.

"What do you think?" i say doing a little spin.

"Are you planning on bringing someone back home because, you look hot woman!" he says smiling, Daxon is as gay as me so i trust him to tell me if i look bad.

"Too soon for that! but enough about me, we are celebrating you tonight!, let's go hun" we head out and i know this will be one hell of a night, Dax doesn't drink often but when he does he doesn't stop until he can't take anymore.

It's been about 2 hours and we are both tipsy.

"This place is boring, come, I went to this bar not long ago with Will and it was so fun, it might be a little out of your comfort zone but we are still going" he says as he pulls me out of the bar we have been in "i'll drive but we might have to take an uber after, or i can just call Will to come get us" he says laughing.

"to come get us and also to take you back home drunk! who are you trying to fool D!" i say laughing.

I was looking for the music most of the time that I didn't realize where we were going until we got here, we are outside of the bar Leah works at.

"This is a University Bar Dax, are you trying to get me to see all of my students here or something?" i say giving him a look.

"i told you it might be out of your comfort zone, but it's so fun come on, plus most of your students probably have the hots for you, imagine what an amazing thing will be to see their professor shitface drunk!" he says as he's getting out of the car.

I can't tell him the real reason why I shouldn't be here, but also now that im tipsy and a little braver I can't wait to see Leah outside of class.

Leah Pov

The bar has been really busy tonight, seems like everyone needed a drink, Ashley is here, she came in about 30 minutes ago and her boyfriend will be meeting her later.

"You really don't want a shot with me?" she says approaching the bar again and I laugh.

"Fine just one Ash" i say pouring both of us a tequila shot and we take it all in one go. "here" she says handing me her card.

"I'll pay for this one!" i say smiling

"Ok then i'll pay the next one!" she says smirking.

"Next one? i said just one!" i say laughing while i walk away to serve another costumer.

When i come back Ashley has two shots infront of her and its pointing at me to go take it with her. "Just two I promise, before he gets here" she says smiling

"Who even served you those?" i say smiling and she points at my coworker. We take the second shot and i can feel it everywhere, my face feels hot so that will be enough shots for me tonight, i'm working and I don't do the whole drunk bartender deal. I'm rinsing the shot glasses so i can clean them later when i hear a familiar voice not to far out to my left.

"Hey 2 shots of your strongest tequila please!" a tall handsome guy says pointing at me and giving me a perfect smile, but I'm not looking at him i'm looking at the woman sitting next to him, the same woman I can't get out of my head.

"Be careful with those, they're strong" i say before handing the shots to him, Arizona gets the hint that i'm saying that to her even though i'm looking at him, because she gives me a questioning look.

"Then lets run another two, here beautiful" he says handing Arizona one of the shots. "bottoms up, baby!" he says before they both take the shots in one go.

Who the hell is this guy? and why is he calling her beautiful and baby? is she bisexual and this is her newest fling?, i start thinking to myself but that is none of my business, she can do whatever she wants. I set two new shots infront of them and she looks at me.

"Busy tonight?" she asks smiling and i barely reply.

"Yeah, very" i say turning around to serve someone else, if this guy is having a thing with her I don't want to see it.

Arizona and her 'friend' headed to the dance floor not long ago, i can see them from where I'm standing, i'm really trying to not look her way but they're dancing too close for comfort, too damn close if you ask me, he grabs her waist to turn her around and she start laughing, she only stops when our eyes connect, she's staring into my eyes and i'm not giving her anything, she gives me a questioning look and i just shake my head and head to the restroom.

This is really harder than I thought, I don't care who he is, all i care about is that he's touching her and she's ok with it, he looks older than me so clearly she's not into younger people. As i'm going into one of the private stalls to take a minute and chill my thoughts, someone grabs my arm.

"What the h..." i turn around and i see who it is, Arizona is holding my arm and she's giving me the same questioning look from before, there is only one other girl here but before i speak she's walking out. Arizona sees this, takes her chance and pushes both of us inside of the stall, locking the door behind her.

"Just go and enjoy your night, you're clearly having fun" i say with a harsher tone that i intended, how is she going to come to the bar i work at with someone else.

"i was having fun, until i saw the look on your face back there, what is this, Jealousy? are you jealous?" she asks, i can tell she's drunk, maybe not as drunk as last time but i guess she gets braver when there is alcohol in her body.

"why would i be jealous? nothing can happen between us, remember? wasn't that what you clearly told me the first day of class" i say taking 3 steps back, putting some distance between us is probably the smartest thing to do right now "Plus i would never be jealous because of a man" i say in a sarcastic tone.

"then tell me what that look in your face was?" she says taking two steps towards me, there is still some distance between us but not enough, i can feel her breathing a little faster than usual.

"Fine, I'm not jealous, i simply didn't like it, happy?" i say looking everywhere but her face.

"Why?" she asks and she gets closer to me.

"Arizona" i say in a warning tone, but looking down at my feet "You know why".

"No, i dont know why, so why don't you tell me" she says grabbing my face to look at her.

Her eyes are really the prettiest shade of blue, I can't breathe, I can't think when she's this close to me, looking at me the way she is right now, I don't want to get her in trouble but she's not thinking about that so why am I?, before i think anymore i do what she did the first time we met and i kiss her. This time is a real kiss, she grabs me by the back of my head and makes the kiss deeper, she's everywhere in my body, the more she kisses me the more i feel like my body is on fire. When we pull away her face has a hint of a red tone and I can't barely catch my breath.

"that guy out there is my Bestfriend, my very gay best friend Dax, so there is nothing to be jealous about" she says smiling and i can feel my face burning.

"It really wasn't my place, I just..." i guess the shots i took earlier get to my head because i start talking too much "I can't do that, but he can, so when i saw it I just... i wished that was me, that's why i was so upset about it" i say looking down at my feet again.

"You have nothing to worry about, i'm not looking for anyone, clearly i never was, you just happen to appear in my life and I can't get you out of my head, i tried Leah, i really did, i tried not looking at you and not questioning your friendship with Ashley, but tonight i wanted to see you, I didn't plan it, we were somewhere else but Dax wanted to come here and I couldn't tell him no, plus i didn't want to" she takes a deep breath before continuing "i'm sorry i was mean before when i told you nothing could happen, i really meant it, i just can't seem to be able to leave you alone"

"Then don't" I say, and this time she kisses me.
