General POV
"W-what did you just say?" Eliza asks her girlfriend, stuttering a little, the brunettes voice, laced with confusion and shock. Did Arizona really just ask her to move in with her? Like really, seriously? Or did she imagine it. Arizona was smirking, it seems she had managed to surprise her girlfriend, a task not easily achieved. Usually Arizona was the one being subjected to shock and awe. Not right now, however.

"I said, move in with me Eliza." Eliza's face was a picture. Her expressions quickly changing from shock, to uncertainty and finally acceptance. However, she was still at a loss for words, completely stunned silent. Not something that usually happened where the brunette was concerned. Eliza normally had an answer for everything, a response for every situation. Not right now though. Right now, she had nothing, no words. No smart-ass remarks, literally nothing. As Eliza was so completely lost for words, and needed to do something to show Arizona she wasn't saying no at all before she began to panic, the brunette pulled her girlfriend into her, kissing her lips with as much passion as she could muster.

Swiping her tongue across Arizona's bottom lip, the kiss rapidly becoming heated. Tongues battling for dominance. Hands roaming all over. Before Eliza had time to even think, Arizona was on top of her, the brunette's hands, pinned above her head. The blonde looking, longingly into her eyes. Both women took a few seconds to catch their breath. Eliza's chest heaving, Arizona smirking at her girlfriend below her, stuck. "Well?" Arizona asks, a hint of concern flashing across her face. Concern that Eliza was going to say no.

"Are you sure?" Eliza finally spoke, having found her voice again. Her eyes trained on Arizona, looking for any sign of uncertainty. Any sign that this isn't what she wanted, because it sure as hell was what Eliza wanted. She wanted nothing more than to never be apart from her blonde beauty. To spend every free moment with her, to wake up next to her every morning, to go to sleep by her side every night. Eliza wanted nothing else.

"I'm sure, I want this, if you want it too." Arizona replied, suddenly unsure of herself. Beginning to panic that Eliza didn't feel as strongly about her as she did. "I mean, you don't have to, I just, I like have you here and I love falling asleep next to you and waking up next to you and I just don't like being away from you, but I don't want you to feel like you have to, I mean" Arizona's rambling was stopped by Eliza's lips crashing into hers. The brunette wasn't able to do much else, other than kiss Arizona, since she was still pinned to the bed.

"Of course I want to move in with you Arizona. If you're sure it's what you want." Eliza finally said, placing a chaste kiss on Arizona's lips, before lying flat again. Releasing Eliza's hands, Arizona brought herself to rest next to her girlfriend, cuddling into her side, her head onto Eliza's shoulder. Her finger tips tracing patterns on the brunette's arm, causing her hairs to stand on end. Letting out a sigh of contentment, Arizona shuffled even closer to Eliza. Nothing could get much better than being able to do this every night and every morning and sometimes even in between.

The two women, lead there, in each other's arms, for what felt like hours, before Eliza's stomach protested, making a huge growl for food. Arizona couldn't help but chuckle at Eliza's stomach making so much noise. It was acting like she hadn't eaten for weeks, although, they had worked up an appetite, with all their physical activity this morning.

"Come on you, let's get up and get some food." Arizona suggested, between sniggers.

"Sounds like a fine idea, but how about you stay here and I'll pop out and pick something up?" Eliza suggested, wanting to do something lovely for her girlfriend, especially after everything Arizona had done for her the last few days.

"Mmmm, that sounds good." Arizona responded, her eyes heavy and her body exhausted.

Climbing out of bed, Eliza grabbed out some lazy clothes, kissing an already snoozing Arizona on the forehead before leaving the bedroom to go shower. Deciding to opt for a cold shower, since she was a hot mess right now, Eliza set the temperature, cool and jumped in, letting the water cascade over her body. After a quick wash, Eliza got out of the shower, drying herself off and pulling her hair up into a messy bun.

Quickly dragging her clothes on, Eliza rushed the best she could to go pick up some food and return to Arizona's house, to Arizona. Grabbing her car keys off the side and pulling her trainers on, Eliza headed out the door to the pizza shop about 10 minutes away. She figured she could get pizza, and give Arizona some time to rest until she returned. It would take her about 40 minutes in total, that way she could pick up a nice wine as well. Allowing her beautiful blonde girlfriend about 40 minutes to nap as well.

Eliza's POV
Putting my key in the ignition, I crank up the stereo as soon as it fires up. One of my favourite songs of the moment coming on, slow hands by Niall Horan. Damn the things this song makes me think about. Arizona's perfectly skilled, soft hands roaming over my body. The song itself making me wet at the memories it conjures. But hey, wetter is better right? I have to close my eyes and take a deep breath. A steadying breath. Anything to stop me from turning the car off and abandoning my mission for food in favour of my girlfriend, naked in the sheets.

Putting the car in drive I start my journey to the pizza shop. Lost in my own thoughts of all the things I can't wait to do to and with Arizona. Before I know it I'm pulling up outside. I order the pizza, and wait. I wait kind of impatiently, I just want to be back with my girlfriend now. I seriously hate being away from her.

"Order for Minnick" the pizza guy shouts, pulling me from my thoughts as I grab the pizza and thank him, rushing out of the door. I can't wait to get home. Home. That sounds good. Even though it isn't my home yet, it will be soon. I really can't believe Arizona asked me to move in with her. I mean I'm glad she did because I want this, I'm just surprised is all. I didn't see us being this serious, this soon, or even at all actually. Don't get me wrong, I love her, I'd do anything for her, I just didn't think she would feel the same. Especially knowing a little of my past.

I stop at the store and grab some of Arizona's favourite wine, then head back to her house. Pulling up outside, something feels not quite right. I cut my engine and turn the stereo down. Something isn't right, I'm not sure what it is yet but I have that feeling in the pit of my stomach. That gut feeling. I clamber out of the car, grabbing the pizza and the wine, as I head up to the front porch, I spot it. The door is open, not wide open, but slightly a jar.

Oh god, what the hell is going on. Arizona wouldn't leave the door open, and she was fast asleep when I left...
