Last night…

At the Castillo house, Brady and Alison walked into the living room and sat down to take her stilettos off… and Brady could tell that it was just them in the house by how quiet it was.

"What are you thinking?" Brady asked after sitting down.

"I didn't tell Miguel that I was heading out, he's probably out looking for me." Alison replied as she reached over the armrest and turned the lamp on to light up the room a bit.

"He's a caring brother… that's what it's like to be siblings. You'll argue like hell and kick up more storm than a volcano, but the moment one thinks something is wrong with the other… nothing else matters." Brady said in response, Alison knowing that summed up him and Amber as well as her and Miguel.

"Spent our whole lives around each other… aside from twins, siblings two years apart can't remember a time without the other around. Though there's a part of me that wished that Veronica got to know about her older brother." Alison said, Brady's eyes widening a bit because as far as he knew, Veronica Tubbs had been an only child.

"Hearing so much about a family member you never knew… I've known that feeling. Dad lost a good number of close friends over the years." Brady replied.

"Lou Rodriguez being one of them, complete opposite of my dad from what Sonny once said… but I'm not so sure Veronica would've accepted her older brother if she ever found out that his grandfather killed her uncle." Alison said as they looked at each other, Brady reaching over and pulling Alison's curls out of their tight ponytail to give her sensitive scalp a break… and absentmindedly running the fingers on his right hand through the soft tresses, both still a bit intoxicated as Brady also drank some alcohol.

Alison rested her right hand on Brady's left one when it rested on her face… and Brady leaned in, crashing their lips together.

Outside, a drunken Jake Ballard was stumbling around lost… and his eyes widened in shock.

"Holy mother of…" Jake started to curse as he stumbled back a bit, his wide eyes locked into the window as he watched their actions, the contact of their lips remaining unbroken as the two turned fully to each other, and Alison's left hand moved to rest just below Brady's right shoulder blade.

To him, it was eerily similar to Gina and Sonny's old romance.

Alison was straddling Brady now because of the height difference as he trailed his mouth up and down her neck in light kisses and unzipped her dress… but he barely pulled it off of her by the hem of the skirted part before she reacted as quickly by pulling his shirt off.

Just as he carefully laid her down on the couch, the kitchen light flipped on and both heard someone yelling in Spanish and bolted up.

"Izzy, what the hell?!" Alison responded, covering herself with a pillow as she and Brady saw the former Vice informant.

"Aw, hello loverbirdies, was I interrupting? I just been after a place to…" Izzy said in response, clearly having stayed for drinks at the club earlier, before he collapsed and passed out in his drunkenness.

"Is he gonna be okay?!" Alison asked as Brady stood up and checked on Izzy after handing his button up shirt to Alison, who pulled it on.

"He seems alright… gimme a hand when you're sorted, we'll put him on the couch." Brady answered after he made the usual checks on pulse and nerve responses.

Alison stood up and helped Brady pick Izzy up off the floor, the two putting him on his side and Alison going and finding a bucket and bottle of water to put by the couch before picking up her discarded dress and shoes.

"We're lucky it was him and not my brother or dad… that could've gone horribly wrong." Alison said as the two headed towards the spiral staircase.

"It could've gone very badly." Brady agreed with a nod, as they traversed the stairs, before they both paused at the top. "I think… about all this, we should keep it down and between us for the time being, at least for a couple weeks… at least until we're sure of where things stand."

Alison nodded in agreement before the two headed into her room and closed and locked the door, Brady reaching into his jeans pocket.

It wasn't long before both were fully naked and on Alison's bed, Brady taking it slowly with the smaller girl as it started storming outside.

The two were too into each other to notice the resulting power outages…

Present time…

Alison slowly stretched her small body as she rested her head on Brady's right shoulder just after waking up, Brady running his fingers on his left hand through Alison's disheveled curls as the storm raged on.

Taking a bit to take in his surroundings, Brady lightly ran his right hand up and down Alison's back.

"You okay?" Brady asked, Alison nodding with a smile as she looked up at him.

"Better than okay…" Alison responded as Brady sat up and Alison straddled him, Brady resting his hands on her hips before they kissed.

Brady wrapped his arms around Alison after they stretched back out, Alison wrapping her right arm around him and snuggling closer to him as Brady nuzzled his face into her raven curls.

Aside from the noise, it was quiet in the house… until they heard…

"Dónde está mi hermana?!"

"No he visto a Ali!"

'Well… goodbye to kid Ali, hello to adult Ali.' Alison thought.

But she didn't know how right she was.
