She wanted to see how far she could push him before he would snap. If there was one thing she could do well, it was make him mad, infuriatingly so. The only problem was that he was capable of the same and it made her quickly lose sight of what her purpose was, in this silly game of out smarting each other.
Alex's eyes are burning with a barely contained emotion, that he had not seen in recent months, not since the car bomb and he's relishing in it. He loves the way the Alex he knows, shines through in a good wrestle of words.
They were close, too close. Less than an inch between their nose's and still they were shouting. Before he knows it he has stepped over some invisible line and she's forcing her hands against his chest, angrily bunching a fistful of shirt and shoving him harshly into his filing cabinet. The bang echoing around them. A man never to allow a situation to slip out of his control, he pins her wrist's down to her side's, their eye interlocking and he is so close, can feel the heavy rise and fall of her chest, her breath coming out in puffs against his lips. Neither of them move, they just stand there pressed against the warmth of the other, silently daring the other to be the first to act.
He realizes this maybe his only chance. There is the acknowledged chance that all he will get in return is a knee to the valuable's, but it would be worth it to feel her lips on his. So before she has a chance to move away, he releases his hold on her wrist's and instead weaves them into her soft curls and brings his mouth down on to Alex's. She tastes of tea and banana with a slight under play of toothpaste, her lips are soft and plump against his and he knows it will end sooner than he would like. In her reluctance to summit to the onslaught of his tongue, like he had half hoped, she fights back with her own mouth. Biting his lips with painful abandonment, as she thrusts her own tongue into his. When they part for oxygen, he knows his mouth will be as swollen as her's, his lip may even be split, but he still wants her to kiss him harder.
