Love Hate

Alex couldn't believe; it she's just had the most amazing night of her life and here she was waking up next to Gene Hunt. She didn't really know how they'd got to that point, one minute they were fighting like a cat and dog over their dinner in Luigi's and the next they were kissing passionately, fumbling for the keys to the flat whilst pressed up against the front door.

She had admitted to herself a long time ago that she was attracted to him but he made her so angry that she was usually able to ignore the feelings that had been growing inside her. Apparently that was no longer the case. She got out of bed and went into the kitchen to make a cup of tea and some toast for herself and the still fast asleep man in her bed.

She had just taken a bite of her toast when she felt his hands on her waist.

"Mornin' love" said Gene, turning her around to face him. He placed a kiss on her lips, it was chaste at first but quickly deepened only to stop just as quickly as he started to splutter in disgust. "What the 'eck have you been eatin' Bolly?"

"Only Marmite. Why, don't you like it?" Gene Pulled a face in reply, "It's a love-hate thing I suppose." She said with a smile.
