Leah POV
It's Sunday we are going out for dinner with our parents since they have to leave to Colorado tonight, Leo left with Dad to the store and Mom is in the living room waiting for me.
I'm finishing my makeup thinking about Arizona when a knock on my door distracts me
"Come in" i say knowing it's my mom
"Almost done?" she asks coming into my room
"Yes, are Dad and Leo back?" i ask and she shakes her head
"So yesterday we didn't had any girl time, but i've been wanting to ask you, what did you wanted to talk about?, you mention something on the phone last week" she says and my heart stops.
Do i really wanna talk to Mom about this right now? is this the best time considering how Arizona and I are doing at the moment.
"hmmmmm" i say and she gives me that 'spit it out' look that only my mother has "I don't think this is the right moment mom, I don't want to ruin dinner" i say and she looks worried
"what can be so bad Darling?, come here" she says motioning for me to sit in the bed with her "what is it that is worrying you so bad?" she asks grabbing both of my hands with hers and i just don't know how to say it
"Mom... I..." i try to explain but I can't, i know what her thoughts are on the subject "I don't even know how to say this...Mom I'm...Gay" i say and she takes 2 seconds before replying, letting go of my hands.
"No you're not darling, you might just be confused" she says like it's nothing
"I'm not confused" i say as calmy as I can
"You are Leah with this new 'accepting' society a lot of girls your age get confused, it's just a phase, but you will grow out of it" and that's the end of this conversation she gets up clearly upset "there is no use to mention this to your brothers or Father" she says as she is leaving my room to go back to the living room.
That's how everything is with Mom, she has her opinion and it's the only one that matters, she's used to what she says goes and no one going against it so i knew she would not give in easy, however I can't help the tears filling up my eyes, the fact that she acted so nonchalantly about it hurts even more, if she was mad or yelling i would understand but for her to dismiss it like that it's hurtful.
"What's up with you?" Leo asks as soon as i get in the back seat of the car, Mom and Dad in the front so i just shake my head in a 'i'll tell you later way' that he recognizes because he nods.
"How's New York honey? i've heard the night life can be exhausting" dad asks looking at me through the rear view mirror.
"I actually like it, it can be interesting plus between me going to school, and working I don't really have time to get exhausted by the night life" i say and he smiles
"well you only have 2 years and you'll be back home" Mom adds which throws me off a little, she's been short since our conversation and it's driving me crazy
"i'm not sure i'm going back to California right after I graduate" i say and she turns around clearly mad
"WHAT? are you listening to her?" she asks Dad and he doesn't say anything "What are you going to do here ALONE?" she asks
"I'm not alone mother i have friends and..." i almost add a girlfriend but i realize I can't say that because of Arizona's position.
"friends are not enough to stay this far from home, plus this city can be very expensive" she adds
"If i want a serious career i have to stay here, New York is the best when it comes to job opportunities in my field" i say and she shakes her head
"I still don't get why FINE ARTS! out of all the options you had" she says still shaking her head
"Can we not do this right before dinner?" Leo jumps in the conversation
"Leonardo is right, this conversation can happen any other time, let's enjoy dinner" Dad adds
"I guess tonight isn't the time for any important conversations right Mom" i say and she looks at me like she could slap me right at this very moment
"I just don't think Fine arts was a smart choice" she adds
"Yeah you've made that clear plenty of times" i say and Leo pushes my leg slightly i look at him and he's giving me his 'what's the deal with you' look.
And that's it, we don't talk about anything else until we get to the restaurant, as usual we have a private table away from any other costumers, my parents love the fancy things in life but specially good food, and this is the best rated restaurant in all of New York, it's so high end that the menu doesn't even come with prices because the chef picks the plates, and everyone here just assumes that whoever comes to have dinner has $800 to pay per person.
Don't get me wrong i like good food and fancy places but i much rather be at a tiny coffee shop or at a family owned restaurant with Arizona by my side which is a thousand times better than sitting here in their fancy chairs eating their fancy food that's way too overpriced. I've always been the one in the family that isn't impressed by money and i really can do without all of the fancy stuff.
"Do you want to go somewhere after this? they are leaving tonight" i ask Leo distracting myself from my own thoughts in a low enough voice that only he hears me.
"Yes please, what do you have in mind?" He asks smiling, our parents are too distracted talking to the chef
"hmmm we can go to the bar i work at, I don't know if they will serve you" i say and he smiles
"they will" he says and i know that look.
Arizona's POV
It's Sunday night so i'm going to sleep soon, I haven't really talked to Leah all weekend and it's almost 11 so i'm getting ready for bed, but then my phone rings, it's a number I don't recognize with a different area code, so ignore it. After the argument with Leah yesterday i've been in a down mood, so I don't feel like answering calls of people I don't know.
My phone rings again and it's the same number, so this time i pick it up annoyed.
"Hello?" i say and i can hear noise in the back, it sounds like someone is having a good time.
"Arizona right?" a man voice says and i recognized it, it's Leah's brother.
"Leo?" i ask
"Yes, i need your help" he says clearly drunk
"ok?" i say and he keeps talking to someone 'IM CALLING HER JUST STOP' i hear him say.
"So I didn't mean to bother you but my sister here is crying and she keeps insisting she wants to see you, i try to make her go home already but she said she isn't leaving until she sees you" he says clearly annoyed
"where are you?" i say heading to my room to change into something more appropriate
"at the bar she works at" he says i hear struggle and Leah's voice comes through the phone "please please don't leave me" i hear her say she's definitely crying and it breaks my heart
"I'm not!, i'll call you when i get there please stop drinking" i say and i hear her breathe out
"You are all I have!" she says and i can barely understand her, I don't like how drunk she is, I don't think i've ever hear her be this drunk, so i'm out of the house and heading to get her in record time.
i'm still on the phone on my way there, so when i get there they are already outside waiting and oh my God she's so drunk, i can see it before i reach her, her brother struggling to hold her with his broken leg, i get off my car and i walk as fast as possible to grab a hold of her.
"What happened?" i ask him and he shakes his head
"we were supposed to just have a drink after dinner with our parents, but something is up she was drinking like i've never seen her before" he says clearly worried "i tried to stop her but she wouldn't listen" he says in an apologetic tone.
"youre ok, let's go" i say almost carrying Leah to the car, he follows behind me
"can you drop me off at her apartment?" he asks after i put Leah in the passanger seat making sure the seat belt is around her
"of course" i say
"can i stay with you?" she asks and i nod giving her a smile, seeing her like this really breaks my heart but i need to figure out what's going on and in the state she is i rather take care of her myself than her broken legged brother.
We drop off Leo, as soon as he walks out of the car she starts crying again.
"what's wrong?" i ask grabbing a hold of her hand
"i tried to tell her" she says and i'm confused
"tell who what?" i ask
"my mom, i tried to tell her i like women or that i am gay" she starts crying even harder and i hate seeing her like this "she dismissed it, she said i was confused and told me it was a phase, she acted like it was nothing, she will never accept it" she says
"i'm so sorry my love" i say squeezing her hand
"I'm sorry, for being so much to deal with, I don't want to lose you" she says watching me
"i am not going anywhere" i say and she nods
When we get home she's asleep so i wake her up softly and help her inside, i put her in bed and head to the kitchen to get water and some pain pills because i know tomorrow she will have a headache from hell.
"Arizona?" i hear her calling out so i head to bed.
"yes?" i ask and she's crying again
"i thought you left" she says as i approach her motioning for her to lay on my arms as i am laying down.
"baby i'm not going anywhere" i say hugging her tighter and she cries against my chest
"i love you so much, i am sorry for before, i dont like worrying about things that i know will eventually happen because then we will spend the time we have worrying and thinking when is the other shoe going to drop" she says which surprises me because she's really really drunk.
"i love you too, and i get that but you need to learn to communicate but it's ok We can talk about this tomorrow baby go to sleep" i say but she just continues crying
"can you believe she just dismissed it when i told her, she acted like it was nothing" she says between sobs and it breaks my hearts. Leah really is a good person she genuinely cares about others.
"baby she will come around, it's a lot for her to process" i say trying to console her
"she won't , you don't know her, what she says goes as well is what she thinks, no one ever goes against her" she continues saying and all i can do is hug her tight
"I'm here" i say caressing her back
"please don't ever leave me, you are all i want and care about, really you have no idea how much i think about you when we are not together and even when we are...I just...i...never...felt like this before" she says staring into my eyes, she's drunk but i can see the honesty in her eyes.
"i love you like you couldn't imagine" i say giving her a kiss in the forehead and she settles in my chest
LEAH POV
I wake up in the middle of the night, according to the alarm clock is 3am, i'm still in Arizonas arms, i look up to her perfect face and it makes me smile, i was so drunk before that she probably thinks I don't remember what we talked about but I do, she told me she loves me like i couldn't imagine and the thought of that makes my heart jump
now extremely thirsty i get up to grab some water but i realize Arizona being the perfect person she is, already got me one that is sitting on the nightstand on my side 'my nightstand' i think and it makes me smile, and it's true i have clothes there and some pajamas she got me.
i take the pill and water from the nightstand and get back in bed, getting on my side of the bed i'm falling asleep when i feel Arizona's arm wrap around me and pull me against her, my back now against her front, smiling i drift back to sleep.
Waking up to her alarm my head is feeling great considering i was extremely drunk last night.
"Ugh why did i drink that much" i say against the pillow and she laughs
"you knew it was Sunday, i'm getting in the shower you have like 15 extra sleep minutes" she says getting up slapping my butt, which makes me jump and get different idea, fuck sleeping I think.
She goes into the restroom and i get up, knocking on the door hoping she can share her shower.
"Yeah?" she asks "come in"
i open the door and she's in nothing but her underwear and it makes my mouth water.
"i thought you wanted to sleep more" she says turning the water on, facing away from me.
"i have something better in mind" i say taking my clothes off in record time, so when she turns around I'm naked. She looks me up and down slowly and her eyes are on fire, i can see her almost salivating.
"God, you are going to be the death of me" she says reaching up for my hand.
"likewise" i say putting my free hand around her so i can unhook her bra, getting to my knees and pulling her panties down, i know she's watching me i can feel her eyes on me.
"You are perfect" i say giving her a kiss right under her belly button which makes her giggle.
"come here" she says getting on the shower and pulling me under the water with her, my back immediately on the far wall of the shower.
She kisses me everywhere starting from my neck, spending extra time with my breasts, she pulls and tugs at them so softly and slow which makes my center melt, she gets to her knees motioning for me to bring my leg up and rest it in her shoulder. She swipes her finger across my sex and she's met with so much wetness it even surprises me.
"all for me?" she asks
"only you!" i say between moans because she started drawing circles in my clit with her tongue, her perfect mouth is all over my sex and I don't think i can last long. She pushes two fingers inside of me and it makes my breath catch in my thorat.
"Fuck yes baby" i say which spurs her on.
Going in and out of me faster and harder each time, it doesn't take long before i start losing control, matching her movements i meet her each time and she doesn't let up, her tongue working my clit perfectly, i grab a hold of her hair and push her against me making her moan against my sex and the vibration her moan sends up my body feels amazing.
i'm meeting each thrust of her hand and i can feel my body getting closer and closer, i grab my breast with my free hand, pulling and tugging at them she watches me and her eyes almost sparkle and with this view not long after my body starts shaking and I can't control it, i want to but I can't.
"let go baby...come for me" she says and I'm done, my hips buckle and i can barely hold myself up.
"Let me clean you up" she says turning me around grabbing the bodywash and lathering it with her hands, going all over my body, my back is resting on her front and this is the epitome of intimacy, she's pretty much cleaning my whole body and i am enjoying it very much, her hands always soft and strong, i want her right now but i also have a better idea for when we get out of the shower.
Arizonas POV
Leah left the shower first i'm currently wrapping my hair in a towel, coming out of the restroom i see Leah sitting in the bed her panties and bra already on.
"that's cute" i say looking her up and down in that light pink set that makes her look her actual age, super cute.
"Thank you, i was waiting for you" she says reaching out for my hand, standing between her legs she takes a hold of the neck of my robe and pulls me down for a kiss a very needy and heated kiss. Before i realize what's happening I'm on my back laying on the bed, Leah sitting on top of my very much naked body still covered by the robe only, without taking her eyes from mine she opens my robe and looks me up and down bitting the inside of her lip.
"like what you see?" i ask and she nods bending down at the waist to kiss me again, this time moving from my lips to my neck and giving that sweet spot i have under my ear some attention which makes my whole body shriver, she's kissing every inch of my body, by the time she gets to my breasts i am already wet and waiting for her.
"you're just perfect..." she says more to herself than to me, she is in the zone!, i can see her eyes turning darker by the second "and all mine" she says bitting her bottom lip
"all yours baby" i say in a low tone, and she smiles rolling her hips which makes my center even more wet, settling between my legs she motions for me to spread them and i do exactly that. This very moment is probably the most intimate we have ever been, i'm completely naked and exposed to her. Her eyes are the darkest i've ever seen them, she's watching me and it's making my whole body feel like it's on fire.
she goes across my sex slowly with a single finger and it makes me jump a little, she smiles when she realizes how wet i already am.
"you're ready for me" she says putting the same finger she had on me in her mouth "great as always" she says leaving me with my mouth open and a shocked face, which makes her smile.
Without warning she pushes the same finger inside of me very slowly.
"So tight" she says to herself which turns me on incredibly "we don't have a lot of time so this will be fast and hard ok?" she says and i nod
"i need your words baby" she says coming in and out of me slowly
"i can take it" i say and that's all the reassurance she needed, coming out of me fully she directs me to turn around and be on my knees and hands. Grabbing my hips from behind to postion me however she wants me, all i can see it's my nightstand.
She pushes down between my shoulder blades so i'm now face down in the bed completely exposed to her. She pushes two fingers inside of me and waits for my body to adjust before she almost comes out and comes back in harder this time.
"Fuck..." I say against my pillow and this seems to spur her on, coming in and out of me faster and harder each time i don't think i can last long like this. Leah catches the perfect rhytm and i'm enjoying every second of it, my moans getting louder and sweat appearing all over my body. I'm so close to come when Leah grabs a hold of my hair and pulls, hard lifting my head from the pillow, coming out of me again completely to push a 3rd digit this time, we catch the perfect rhytm and it doesn't take long before my body starts shaking.
Now my back resting on her front, my body shakes and grinds against her while she kisses my neck.
"Oh my...Baby...I'm..." i say before letting go, everything goes black and my whole body goes numb, Leah doesn't stop until i beg her to.
