Chapter 2: Breakfast Plans

After a second knock Alex opened the door and smiled. She and Maggie had made breakfast plans the night before but they hadn't know n it was going to snow as hard as it had been since late last night. Alex offered to do it another time but Maggie insisted.

"Hey," she said as she shivered some.

Alex was glad she had started the fireplace.

"Hey," Alex replied as she opened the door and let her girlfriend in.

When Maggie turned Alex placed a kiss on her lips and then helped Maggie by taking the food to the counter while Maggie took off her winter clothing.

"You didn't have to do this you know. It's bad out there."

"What and miss seeing you, not a chance."

Alex smiled and placed gently moved some of Maggie's hair behind her ear. She then wrapped her other arm around Maggie's hip and leaned down to place a deeper kiss, Maggie gladly reciprocating.

"Someone's in a good mood," said Maggie.

"I have you don't I?"

"Yeah, you do."

The two smiled as they said those words to each other, both remembering back to the alien bar, The Tavern, when they'd had their talk about how Alex had felt about coming out.

Alex ran her hand up and down Maggie's arms, "You're freezing, Sawyer. How cold is it out there?'

"It's pretty cold. Though there is one thing that I know will warm me up."

"I was thinking the same thing."

Maggie reached up and cupped Alex's face in her hands. She then forced her lips onto Alex's, this time the two coming together as Alex wasn't caught off guard the way she had been the first time they'd kissed in the apartment the night Maggie came by with pizza and beer.

Alex brought Maggie's body toward her, allowing the close contact to warm up her girlfriend who was still freezing from the cold: their chest both meeting the others adding pressure to tender places, their hips met, gliding against their clothing but somehow fitting perfectly as if they were meant for each other alone.

"This is helping," Maggie whispered.

"I'm glad," Alex replied back, the two sinking back into each other's taste.

"So I was thinking about that Christmas get together at your sister's place," Maggie said as they sat together near the fire after having breakfast.

"What about it?"

"Are you sure it's okay that I go? Kara and I didn't exactly hit it off the first time we met."

"Well in her defense she was just being over protective. She has a way of doing that."

Maggie nodded. Alex didn't need to explain the situation though she had back when they had first started to secretly date.

Alex took Maggie's hand and squeezed it gently. "Hey it's okay. I talked to Kara this morning and she wants you there."

"She does?"

"Yes. She knows we've become good friends so it's okay."

Maggie moved closer to Alex, "Friends hu?"

"Are you okay with that?"

"Okay with the fact that my girlfriend is referring to us as just friends and keeping our relationship from the people she cares about?" Alex only nodded, "Well," said Maggie, "it would be nice if they knew but this is fun too." Maggie pushed herself upward so that she could reach Alex's throat and run kisses down and then at an angle until she met her lips and then released. "Whenever you're ready to tell Kara we will. I can wait."
