Thank you everyone for your reviews i will start replying to them here since I'm not sure you all are getting my replies, with that being said Tingtorn78 Cassie is not going away that easy she will be back, also Leah's older brother James knows but only him and i agree with you it is sad that she can't be herself and even more sad that even now days its still happening.

Also i promised DRAMA so here it's some of that.

This Chapter will be a back and forth between the girls POV's

Chapter 7

ARIZONA'S POV

After Leah left for work i started a movie, now half way through it, I can't stop thinking about Leah's comment "someone too drunk for comfort", i really didn't thought about that aspect of her job and it makes me wonder how many times has she's felt uncomfortable because someone's bad drinking, i want to go to the bar just so i can make sure she will be fine but I don't want to be overbearing. I'm still going over it in my head when my cell buzzes.

Miss me? -L

I actually do, how's the party going? -A

Really busy i just got a quick break, the birthday girl seems to be already drunk enough and it hasn't even been 2 hours -L

But everything fine right ? -A

so far everything is fine, i have to go they just ordered a set of shots for the whole bar -L

and that's it, i'm going to the bar, i might not sit at the bar and talk to her since she's super busy but i can always sit a far from her and make sure everything is fine right? does that make me too overbearing? i hope not, but i'm not doing anything here anyways and she can potentially be in danger so i rather be near.

Leah's POV

I'm completely swamped at work, the birthday group has become double in size and these girls keep buying shots for everyone so half of the bar has become part of the birthday group, i'm filling a set of 12 shots for the 5th time when one of the friends comes up to me.

"one of those better be for you" she says with a smile

"Thank you but I'm ok, just serving them tonight" i say giving her a small smile back just to be polite.

"That can't be, here add one for you" she says setting her credit card on the bar, i do as i am told, truly because I don't feel like doing the back and forth with her.

"I'm Stella" she says giving me a flirty smile and i smile back again to remain polite but i can see what she's doing, i've had this happen before and i know flirting with her will just make my tip higher but for some reason I don't feel comfortable playing this game, i have before but that was before Arizona.

"Leah" i say smiling back but not too much

"pretty name for a pretty girl" she says and I don't stop serving the next rounds.

After what seems forever Stella leaves the bar and goes to dance with her friends, she is out of her mind if she thinks something is happening with us, i'm not sure if Arizona wants a relationship or not but i've never been one to entertain more than one girl at a time, plus Arizona is who i want and who I like, this Stella girl doesn't even compare.

Arizona POV

Getting to the bar i walk in at the perfect moment, Leah is helping some girl at the bar and she doesn't realize I'm here which is exactly what i was hoping for, i'm well aware this might be too much and I don't want her to feel that way, i'm just trying to make sure she's fine.

Sitting out of her view, still able to watch her i order a long island tea from one of the server girls, after a while i can see just how tired she is, they keep ordering drinks for the group which has become bigger and bigger by the minute, i watch her fix her hair behind her ear for the 4th time in the last 10 minutes, poor baby she's so overwhelmed.

3 of the girls pass me on their way to the restroom and i overhear their conversation, and i say overhear even though she's practically almost screaming to her friends over the music.

"She's hot isn't she" she says to the girl to her right

"who?" she asks confused

"The bartender! i would not mind going home with her tonight" she says giggling and her friends give her a knowing look.

"Well, she wouldn't be the first one" they both say and they all laugh.

i watch them get in the restroom and i see red, how rude can she be, first of all Leah is working and she's so not that type of girl. She does look hot i turn to see her and yeah she does look amazing, her silk black button up opens up to show her lace black bralette, she barely has any makeup on but she's naturally stunning, her body is amazing too and the black jeans she's wearing hug her behind perfectly, i noticed when she was in my home having dinner.

Now that i realized the intentions of that girl, a part of me wants to just go sit at the bar so the girl knows she's not alone but the other part of me has to stay here because I don't want her thinking i'm some kind of weird stalker. I decide against going there and order my second drink this time with no alcohol in it, i take the reminder of my drink and watch the same girls come out of the restroom, the one girl heading towards Leah.

Leah's POV

I'm serving more and more shots and i see Stella, the same girl from before approaching the bar, i notice she's actually tipsy or i might even say drunk this time.

"So Leah are you enjoying the party" she says pointing out to her friends

"Not too much of a party for me" i say giving her a small smile

"take another shot with me" she says handing me her credit card again

"Oh no, i'm fine thank you" i say giving her an apologetic smile

"If we are putting you through hell the least i can do is buy you another one, I insist" she says giving me a very flirty smile, maybe if i take another one she will leave, like she did before.

"Ok, but i'm not a big drinker so this is the last one" i say as i serve both shots, i charge her card and before we take them she gets closer to me, and i'm so glad there is a bar in between us

"Cheers to an amazing night" she says giving me a smirk and the dirtiest of looks, she's definitely not shy at all.

I take my shot and hand her the receipt, one of her friends comes back and orders another dozen of shots, i get the receipt back and she wrote her phone number on it, classic move but not interested, i shake my head slightly and continue with what i was doing, looking up I don't know what makes me look in the way of the door but to my surprise, close to it in a booth is Arizona, she's not looking my way, she's actually watching the group of girls from the party, i wonder what she's doing all the way there and not sitting at the bar with me, so i send her a quick text.

How's your night going? -L

Boring, missing you -A

What are you doing? -L

Not much just watching a movie -A

Why is she lying to me?, she's clearly here. I head outside really quick hoping she will follow so i can ask her what's going on. I hear the side door open behind me, the same door i just came out through, turning around i'm expecting to see Arizona but it's not her, it's Stella.

"Just making sure you're fine" she says getting close to me

"Oh i am thank you, i'm actually waiti..." and before i can finish talking she's kissing me, my eyes are wide open and it's been a second when i see the side door opening again and this time is Arizona, our eyes meet and I panic, i push away Stella as fast as I can.

"What are you doing?" i say louder than I intended and Stella too drunk to care smiles.

"My apologies, I didn't mean to interrupt" Arizona says turning around to go back inside.

"Wait Ari..." i say but she's gone.

"Now we can continue..." Stella says

"There is nothing to continue, get the fuck away from me" i say clearly annoyed, she just kissed me out of nowhere and in-front of Arizona, so i have the right to be pissed.

I go inside looking for Arizona, i'm on my break right now, i finally spot her leaving through the main door and i head her way.

Arizona's POV

How stupid can one be? seriously, what made me think Leah could be just for me, maybe she just wants an open relationship, or maybe she doesn't want a relationship with me, i mean i am older than her and her professor so maybe i was the only one seeing any sort of future for us, she's clearly single, i saw her taking the shot with that one girl right before she went outside it was clearly planned and i feel so freaking stupid.

Heading outside as fast as I can, i head for my car when i hear her voice calling my name but I don't stop, i will not let her see this side of me, she might think i am weak and needy because of Cassie but i am not, i will not put up with this no matter how much i like her, i'm livid more than hurt i am mad, she texted me right before going outside with her, how dare she.

"Arizona please wait" she says finally reaching me, she grabs my arm to stop me.

"Don't touch me" i say facing her and my tone of voice bothers her, i can see it in her face.

"Let me explain please, it's not what you think..." she continues but i cut her off

"No need Leah, clearly you are single and what happened with us didn't mean anything because you wouldn't be kissing her if it did, I don't get what is so wrong with me that i'm just not enough..." i continue and she cuts me off this time.

"No, no, no, Please don't say that, you are enough... you are everything I want... I didn't..." she tries to explain but i am to mad to care.

"I am not Leah, not enough for Cassie and clearly not enough for you" that is a low blow, and i'm well aware of that, i am comparing the two and I don't like it, i would never say something like that if I wasn't mad but I'm hurt, i've been day dreaming about her since i met her and she's kissing her costumers like she did with me when she met me, well technically i kissed her but that's how it started maybe she does this with everyone.

"Is this what you do?" i ask and she's just watching me, i can tell my last comment hurt because her face is blank, no emotion just blank "it worked with me, so maybe it is what you do with everyone" she's quiet, really quiet and she's looking at me like she can't believe I'm saying these things to her.

"What were you doing here?" she asks barely above a whisper

"That's your concern? what i was doing here? so if I didn't catch you, you would just keep doing this?" i say and she shakes her head "I came because... i missed you and i was worried about you because you told me sometimes you deal with costumers that get 'too drunk', so imagine my surprise when i went outside to check on you and i find you kissing her" i say louder than I intended.

"Arizona, listen to me, i have to go back but i can come to your house after, i need to explain i swear things aren't what you think" she says giving me a pleading look and as much as i want to say yes I don't, I didn't let Cassie explain and she was with me for a long time, it's better to just cut Leah off now.

"No, I don't want you to come to my house, i'll see you in class, this is our Goodbye Leah" i say getting into my car, leaving her standing alone, i drive off and she doesn't move she just stays standing there, i stay strong until she's out of my sight, as soon as i turn into the next street my tears start coming out freely.

It's past mid night when i get home and i just go straight to my bedroom, i am so tired, defeated and sad that as soon as my body hits the bed i fall asleep.

I wake up because of the ring coming from my door, i check the time and its 3 am, i head to the door and when i open it the sight infront of me breaks my heart.

Leah is standing on my door way, it's cold outside and she's only wearing a light jacket, her eyes are red and puffy matching mine.

"What are you doing here?" i ask as soft as i can possibly can, she's not looking at me she's staring at her feet when she talks.

"I just needed to explain, i know you told me not to come but if this is our Goodbye, I can't let you think those things about me" she has been drinking, i can hear it in her voice.

"There is no need to explain Leah, go home" I say, but i want to hug her, she looks sad really sad and lost

"No, you think I am...like her" she says still looking at the floor and tears stain her beautiful face, when she looks up at me my heart breaks again "I'm not like her Arizona" she says barely above a whisper.

"Come in, I'm freezing" i say and she does just that, she walks past me and makes sure to not touch me, i can see her trying to not be too close to me "Explain then" i say with a softer tone

"I don't do anything with my costumers, you are the first and only person i have something with, that i met at work" she continues and she really is hurt by what i said i can tell because her eyes have no expression she's looking into my eyes and she seems lost

"I didn't kiss her, she kissed me, it didn't last anything, it hadn't even been a second when you saw it..." she continues and i listen "that girl had been trying to get me to drink with her since she got into the bar, i did took 2 shots but only because she kept insisting, i'm not even a big drinker.."she continues but i cut her off.

"She was into you" i say and she nods

"I know she was, that's why i kept avoiding her, i only took the second shot because when i took the first she left right after so i figure she would do the same thing... i had seen you before you came outside" she admits and smiles, it's a small smile but that's something.

"But you texted me?" i say confused

"Yes, i texted you when i saw you, but then i asked what you were doing and you lied... then i went outside hoping you would follow but..." she lets a breath out that I didn't realize she was holding

"but she followed you before I did, i came outside because i saw her walking out right after you" she nods and looks down again

"i was telling her that i was waiting for you but before i finished she..."

"she kissed you" i finish her sentence for her and she nods

"I get if you don't want to see me anymore but i just had to explain, i'm not a cheater Arizona, i would never hurt you like that" she says and fresh tears stain her beautiful face

"I'm sorry for what i said Leah, i was just so mad, she was kissing you, actually kissing you, her lips were on yours" i say and i realize just how mad this makes me "I heard her talking to her friends before, her intentions were to take you home with her" i say remembering how she giggled when she said that.

"Well her plans clearly didn't work, since i came to your house right after work" she gives me another soft smile one that doesn't reach her eyes and i had enough of sad Leah, I don't ever want to see her this hurt.

I get up from where i'm sitting slowly and she watches me, i grab her hand and pull it so she can get up too, "stay here, you have been drinking and i rather you don't drive home" i say with a soft tone of voice

"Are you sure?" she asks and i kiss her, softly

"I'm sorry i hurt you with what i said Leah, i was just..." before i can finish her lips are on mine again but she's kissing me hard like her life depends on it, and when she pulls away i can barely breath.

"I was so scared that you wouldn't believe me or let me explain" she smiles and it melts my heart, this girl will be the death of me and i know it

"Before i was too mad and hurt to let you explain but i'm so glad you came, you were so busy tonight though, are you tired?" i ask and she nods

"like you wouldn't believe" she says and i grab her hand so we can both go to sleep, i'm really tired too and i have a headache probably from the Long Island tea.

"Let's sleep then" i say

"I don't usually sleep in these" she says pointing at her clothes when we get to the room

"then take them off" i say giving her a wink and she smiles taking her shoes and jeans off, she's just wearing panties and bralette when she gets into bed and it takes everything on me not to start something else, she's so hot I don't even think she realizes, she settles behind me, cuddling me, she's slightly taller than me so this is perfect.

"Can i ask you something else before we go to sleep" she says above a whisper

"yeah, what is it?" i nod

"why did you lie about watching a movie when you were there?" she asks

"I didn't want you to think i was some sort of stalker for wanting to watch you from afar, i really was worried about you"

"i think is adorable" she says and my heart skips a beat

"you do? why?" i ask

"because it means that you care about me" she says and i dont know how but i can tell she's smiling

"I do" i say smiling too, and she tightens up her grip on my waist "Good Night Leah"

"Good night..." she says and she adds "I would never do that to you, ever... You are enough Arizona, more than enough for me" she says kissing the top of my head and with that we both drift away to sleep.
