Arizona

It's been two days since I've heard from Eliza. My parents have gone back home and Sofia is staying at Grey's house for the night.

I miss Eliza, I know I said she didn't have to say anything about us but I haven't heard from her since she left my house in a panic. I woke up this morning and started to make her Herbal Tea before I remembered.

I'm so in love with her, it hurts. And it scares me sometimes.

My phone beeps on the coffee table and I sigh, hoping it's not work. I lean forward and grab it, opening my phone.

Save me? I miss you
-E

I smile and call her.

"Hi. Did I wake you?"

"Hi. It's 2, when do I ever sleep past 9?" I ask as I stir my coffee

"Right. Sorry. Can I buy you coffee? They have finally left me alone"

"Who am I to turn down coffee?"

"Are you OK?"

"I am now. I miss you"

"I'm sorry. Give me a sec."

"Who are you talking to?" Someone asks in the background from her end

"I thought you went shopping?"

"Who are you buying coffee? Can I come?"

"Frankie!" I chuckle as Eliza and her sister talk on the other side of the phone. "Frankie give me my phone!"

"Who is Arizona?" I facepalm and shake my head.

"Frankie! I'll tell Mom"

"You wouldn't"

"Hi" I laugh when Eliza breathes into the phone and she groans. "Soo coffee?"

"Yes please"

"Frankie wants to come. Will you leave me alone"

"That's up to you Eliza" I say softly. "But I miss you"

"I know. Pete's in 20?"

"Sounds good" I smile softly and she ends the call as I sigh.

"Hey"

"Hi"

"Awkward much" A tall brunette, identical to Eliza pushes between us and heads inside the coffee shop.

"Frankie?"

"Yea. I'm sorry, I tried leaving her behind"

"It's OK. I want to meet your family"

"Just as more than a friend. I know, OK. I will tell them"

"Sorry. I'm not trying to force you"

"I know. How's Sofia?"

"She misses you but she is OK" Eliza smiles and pushes open the cafe door.

"I miss her too" I follow her inside and we get our drinks before finding a booth.

"Are you single?"

"Arizona this is Frankie" Eliza sighs, sitting across from me

"Divorced" I answer Frankie before drinking my drink. It's not a lie.

"Are you dating my sister?" I glance at Eliza quickly before looking at Frankie. "Oh please.  You two were eye raping each other out there. I'm not stupid"
