Alex felt strangely relaxed and more at home that she had felt in months. There was something about that stubbornly arrogant man, Gene Hunt, which made her melt when she was close to him. And right now she was very close indeed. So close that she could feel his breath on her cheek. They were moving closer towards each other now; waiting for the inevitable to happen.
"MUM!" Molly's voice echoed around the dark forest. Alex wondered why she was even in a forest. It seemed a bit strange. And why was Molly here?
"Don't leave me mum, please! Don't leave me for him!" Molly cried. Alex looked up at Molly; her face was blurred and out of focus, like she was getting further away. She realized that she wasn't with Gene anymore either, but stood in the middle of them- torn between the two.
"But I make you happy, Bolly.' Gene whispered.
Alex woke with a start; she'd fallen asleep against Gene. The dream had scared her and brought all of her fears and doubts to the surface. But she refused to choose him over her own daughter. Before she could change her mind, she pushed herself away from the warmth of his body and told him to leave. She watched as his face fell; he was suddenly so confused. She'd seemed content enough to fall asleep on him and he didn't know what had changed.
"Bolls? What's wrong?"
"Get out! Out, out, out!" She sobbed, tears streaming down her face.
"Bloody women…" muttered Gene; hurt at her sudden outburst. He left her in the flat, not wanting to be around her. He'd been ready to open up to her, to help her, but she'd just pushed him away. This was why he hated relationships. He much preferred the relationship he had with whiskey; it was always there for him- ever reliable.
It had broken Alex's heart to throw him out like that. But she couldn't have him getting any closer to her than he already was. She couldn't have a relationship with someone, knowing that it could end at any given point. She couldn't do that to him. She knew how hurt he'd be if one day she just wasn't there anymore. She knew just what she needed now though: to get pissed.
Gene was sat in the corner of Luigi's, downing his 3rd whiskey. He was so angry with her. Why had she acted like that? He'd let his guard down and had shown her the real him. How could one crazy and irritating woman do this to him? 'Because she's intelligent, witty and beautiful too' he thought to himself.
At that moment, Alex entered the restaurant. She was wearing an incredibly tight and short black dress, which lengthened her already long legs. Her soft, brown curls hung delicately round her face. Her lips were the brightest red and her eyes the darkest brown. She was beautiful. He stood up to greet her, willing to accept her apology. Normally he'd never forgive a woman after what she'd just done, but she'd been in a terrible state recently and had been irrational and crazy. But for once, he didn't care.
However, as he waited for her to turn to him, she didn't. She walked straight on past- ignoring his presence. He grabbed her wrist, twisting her round to face him. Her lips were inches away from his. It was now or never. He made the move; she needed to know how he felt. Their lips met and she didn't pull away, only moved closer towards him. Suddenly, only they existed. The two of them in a world where there was a thin line between what was real and what might not be. Gene put his hands around Alex's waist, steadying her against him. There were sparks between them; he'd never experienced anything like it before. She smelt of cherry shampoo and he could taste the wine on her breath. But then she was pulling away from him. Using all the strength she could summon. She couldn't fall for him. She needed to get back to molly. Molly… Her daughters face formed in Alex's mind, giving her the final bit of vigor she needed in order to get away from him.
"I'm sorry Gene. I can't. I just can't."
She walked away from him without looking him in the eye. She felt so guilty and didn't want to break his heart. She loved him. And she had done ever since that first day. She loved the banter between them and she'd grown to love life here. That's what worried her. Would she be able to leave him when the time came? How could she love somebody she wasn't even sure was real?
Ooh so will Alex be able to stay away from Gene?
