Terrified To Love You

Chapter Eight

Arizona's pov
I wake up in Eliza's arms and memories of yesterday come flooding back in rivers, powerful and churning. Eliza stirs beside me and opens her eyes. "Hey," I whisper. "Hey there," She says, "Are you ok?" "I'll be fine. It just hurts and I get really upset on Tim's death date." I murmur. Eliza kisses me softly and we cuddle under the soft, waxen blankets. "How did you know how to help me?" I ask quietly, brushing Eliza's long, soft, dark brown hair out of her gorgeous blue-grey eyes.

"I called Callie. It's all I could think of to do." I murmur. "Oh." She says softly. "I'm sorry... I didn't know how to help you. I figured Callie would know." It's ok. You were trying to help me. It's sweet." She says as she plants a kiss on my check. Arizona yawns as she buries her head into her chest. "Eliza?" She asks, gazing up at me. "Yeah?" I murmur as I run my hands through her blond hair. "I love you and it terrifies me. The last person I said that too left me and it nearly killed me." She says worriedly. My heart skips a beat. She loves me... "I love you too. I'm not going anywhere. You are stuck with me whether you like it or not." I smirk. She rolls her eyes and turns in my arms so she can kiss me. She cups my face gently and kisses me. The kiss is full of love. I hold her closer to me and kiss her back. She runs her hands through my hair. We break the kiss for air and smile at each other. "I love you." She murmurs. "I love you too," I say as I kiss her head sweetly. "Please don't ever leave me." She murmurs. "Never. I won't. I love you with all my heart." I promise. She beams at me and hugs me tightly. "Sofia is coming tomorrow." She informs me. "Cool. I'm excited to meet her. I hope she doesn't hate me." I say worriedly.

"Eliza, she will love you," I reassure her. She glances at me worriedly. " She loves everyone, baby. She's been asking me to meet my "Penny" for a while now. She is really excited." I promise as I kiss her head. We lay in each other's arms in content silence. "Tell me what she's like," Eliza says. "Well, she loves animals. She is really good at drawing. She is confident and has Mark's smile. She looks like Callie but acts like me. She is amazing and kind. She will love you, Eliza. Just like I do." I say, smiling at my gorgeous girlfriend. She gets up and winks at me before grabbing her guitar case and she starts playing and singing to me. (song by maroon 5)

I know you're scared, I can feel it
It's in the air, I know you feel that, too
But take a chance on me, you won't regret it (no)

One more no and I'll believe you
I'll walk away and I will leave you be
And that's the last time you'll say "No", say "No" to me

It won't take me long to find another lover but I want you
I can't spend another minute getting over loving you

You don't have to say yeah
Let me hear ya say yeah
Wanna hear ya say yeah
'Cause my heart is open
Now ya gotta say yeah
Let me hear ya say yeah
Wanna hear ya say yeah
Wanna hear ya say, wanna hear ya say, wanna hear ya say

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes

It's just a moment, go and seize it
Don't be afraid to give your heart to me
And if ya do I know that I won't let ya down (no)

Ya so hand it over trust me with your love
I'll do anything you want me to
'Cause I can't breathe until I see your face

Oh, and I don't need time to find another lover but I want you
I can't spend another minute getting over loving you

You don't have to say yeah
Let me hear ya say yeah
Wanna hear ya say yeah
'Cause my heart is open
Now ya gotta say yeah
Let me hear ya say yeah
Wanna hear ya say yeah
Wanna hear ya say, wanna hear ya say, wanna hear ya say

Yes yes yes
Yes yes yes

She smiles at me, making my heart skip a beat as she finishes playing and puts her guitar away. I launch myself off the couch and leap into her strong arms. She holds me tightly. "I love you Arizona." She whispers in my ear. "I love you too," I say as I kiss her soft, warm, pink lips. She carries me to our bedroom and we fall onto the bed, never breaking our kiss. When we finally break apart for air, we lay in each other's arms. She kisses my head softly. I gaze into her eyes and brush her dark brown hair out of her face. "When does Sofia arrive tomorrow?" She asks me. "Around 11 am. Callie is coming to visit everyone, but I get Sofia for the duration of their stay." I shrug. "I'll make us some lunch while you get her from the airport."Eliza smiles. I grin back at her. Tomorrow is going be to a great day.
