It’s a middle of the
night. And I can’t sleep. Well it’s not that I actually can’t, it’s just that I
better won’t. Arizona is pulling 36 hours shift and last time my wife called
she was really pissed off and tired. Some of our new interns messed with the
lab results and it almost developed into fatal situation. It’s rarely that I
hear an f-word four times in one sentence from Arizona, but today she is in
foul mood. I’m embarrassed to admit it, but even I a little scared. Her shift
ended a couple of hours ago, but she was pulled into an emergency surgery, so I’m
patiently waiting for her. Being a good wife I prepared a breakfast (if you can
call it breakfast at 3 a.m.) and after she’ll arrive I’ll make for her wonderful
and relaxing bath. And I’ll be very silent… ‘Cause last time Arizona was in
such mood I made some stupid joke about her disheveled appearance. So whole
next week I was the one who changed Amy’s diapers. I learned my lesson…
So I guess I have
another hour to sit and write our story before ‘Arizona The Hurricane’ will
arrive…
“So Arizona opened the
door, not noticing anything around her because she was searching for something in
her purse. Finally she raised her head and froze… She looked around the room,
noticed flowers, candles. When she looked at me she held such love and
adoration in her gaze that I almost melted on the spot. But I had a plan and I
needed to stick to it.
So I took her coat,
led her to the table and poured her some wine. While we ate our dinner, we
joked, talked about our most embarrassing moments and about milestones that we
covered… It was perfect evening for proposing. Arizona didn’t suspect anything.
Well, almost. After a couple of years she told me that something wasn’t quite
right - my nervous rambling and stupid giggling almost blown my cover. Anyway…
After our dinner I
went to CD player and hit ‘play’. First song was Gomez - Little Pieces. It was
our first official song as couple. So I asked Arizona to dance with me. We
stated goofing around like the first time we danced to this song. But at the
end… I took her in my arms and we gently swayed to the melody. After the last
chords faded I asked Arizona to close her eyes. She looked at me strangely but
complied. I retrieved a small box with a ring and got down on one knee. I asked
her to open her eyes. She froze for the second time during this evening. So I started
speaking…
“My dear, beautiful Arizona. You know that I love you more than I can say. You’re my life, my soul, my good man in a storm. During all this years you were many things to me. At first my friend, then my lover, my teacher, my guiding light. But when our eyes connected for the first time you became the centre of my universe. And I believe that we were meant for each other. I didn’t think that soulmates exists but you proved me wrong. And I’m eternally grateful for that. And now… now I want forever with you. In this life and in the next.
So Arizona Robbins, will you marry me?”
I looked at her and
saw that she was crying and a t the same time she was smiling this full-dimpled
smile. Her eyes were shining with happiness. Arizona tried to say something but
words stuck in her throat. She laughed, got down on her knees as well and whispered
the most beautiful word in English language.
Yes.
So I put a ring on her
finger and almost crushed me in her embrace. And then she kissed me with such
love and passion that I almost passed out. At this moment I felt complete.
The rest of the night
we celebrated our engagement. It felt like we reached a new level of intimacy
and connection. It was breathtakingly beautiful.
Next day we told this
fabulous new to our parents. They were beyond thrilled! But after we told our
moms that we want to keep it simple with only our closest friends and family,
all hell broke loose! I think we listened to their ‘it’s only once in a
lifetime’, ‘you need something to remember it’ monologue for 30 minutes
straight. We finally admitted our defeat and gave them full control. It spared
us a lot of trouble…
It took then almost 3
month and ridiculous amount of money. But it was perfect ceremony. We went
Miami to perform it. Everything took place at the private beach during the
sunset. It may sound like a cliché, but that day I was feeling like the
luckiest girl on the God’s green earth. The memory of Arizona in beautiful dress
of the color of her eyes, of her golden hair that was illuminated with sun rays,
will be forever etched in my heart…”
A heard a car parked
in our driveway. God, how I missed my wife. I went to greet her. She met with
angry yet very quiet ranting.
“You won’t believe
those idiots! To mess with such a simple labs! Urgh! I was ready to hurt
someone! I hate interns…” Uhh, she’s so cute when she’s angry… “I want new
rules at the hospital. Which would include some medieval torture for messing
with simple tasks!”
I tried to restrain
myself. Really tried. But she’s so beautiful. And I couldn’t help myself, I
grabbed the lapels of her coat and kissed her. I tried to pour all my love and
passion for her in one kiss.
“I missed you” I
kissed her again.
“I love you.” Another
kiss. Then breathing became an issue. I opened my eyes and looked at her.
Arizona looked a little dazed.
“Wow, can you greet me
like that every time?” I smirked. I guess I still got it. But then she smiled.
Predatory smile. I felt week in my knees. She grabbed me by the neck and slammed
against the wall. I guess the breakfast is out of order. And when she kissed me
I forgot how to think...
