They're standing very close to each other again. Stevie even takes a step forward and gently touches his face with her hand. She says nothing and slowly moves her fingers on his cheek to his chin. Her touch and the expression on her face helps Alex to feel calmer again. She can do that like no one can.
She peacefully starts to talk. "Alex..." She takes a deep breath before she continues and carefully rubs her neck with her fingertips while she talks. "I know exactly what you felt today...and I know exactly how you feel right now. No one, but us, knows how confusing this day was."
She clearly looks in his eyes, with a warm and loving glance and continues. "But that kiss we shared...I'm having trouble to describe how it was, even to you...But I can tell you this: When a man is able to make a woman feel like that, it makes him very...very special." She lovely smiles at him while she emotionally finishes her sentence.
He blinks his eyes and gives her a sweet glance with a grateful smile. There's a silence, he thinks about what she just said and absorbs every word. He feels impressed. That was so spontaneous, right from the heart and full of love.
"Thanks Stevie." He nods and shyly looks at the floor. "Those were very sweet and special words." He softly says, it makes Stevie smile and she feels flattered.
He continues: "But...You don't think it's worth a try huh?" His eyes seek hers and he playfully smiles at her.
She shakes her head, but looks happy. "You are unbelievable...Let me be honest, I thought about it, but right now it's not a good idea..." Then she squeezes her eyes a bit and looks inquisitive. "You changed your mind?" She curiously asks.
Alex looks understandable. "I know...No I didn't changed my mind, but what if we're meant to be? I want to be friends first...But it might be hard, especially when thoose feelings pop up again." She still looks inquisitive...
He adds "Yeah I mean, what if you wear your most sexy acdc-shirt...I might jump right on top of ya." They both laugh.
Stevie tries to accomplish their new agreement in a funny way "Let's just talk about it in a few months, or maybe earlier, when we can't get our hands of each other." They both laugh again and then it gets quiet.
"So I should go home now." He suddenly says, very down to earth.
"Yeah..." She shyly responds.
He comes closer and gives her a kiss on her cheek. It makes Stevie blush, because she's surprised he just did that.
"That's not going to make things easier, you know."
He winks at her "Goodnight beautiful...Catch ya later." He makes a cowboy-salute and swings around in a funny way, ready to walk trough the door.
She laughs at him "You would never say that, without the amount of alcohol that's in your body. Goodnight Alex."
He looks sarcastic when he turns his face towards her and responds that way too "Says a very sober lady..."
He opens the door, but Stevie is about to do something very unexpected. She totally falls for his flirty behaviour and walks up to him, she suddenly grabs him by his waist, just when he really was ready to leave...
"Stevie?" He surprisingly says and turns around. She still has her arms around him and holds on tight.
She looks a little bit naughty and keeps quiet...Alex can't believe what's happening, after that serious conversation they've had. He squeezes his eyes for a second. "What?" he asks and carefully smiles, still a bit unsure about Stevie's intentions.
Then Stevie lets go of him, which gives him some space to relax...Stevie slowly walks backwards, she gestures him to follow her...They feel totally weak inside –again- and can't seem to hold on to their agreement, or control themselves somehow. Being together almost all day, the tension between them, the kiss they've shared and feelings of love...It's to much. The alcohol helps them to let go of the tension and everything they've talked about. Stevie really wanted to let Alex go home, but he really did something to her today.
Stevie's head slowely comes closer towards his, he doesn't even ask anything any more, they both know enough. He softly holds her face and quickly, but careful, pulls her towards him. When their lips meet, he stops pulling, and runs with his fingers trough her hair. They share a romantic kiss, even more passionate then earlier today. He stops kissing and playfully lifts her of the ground, while he looks very charming..."Alex!" She giggles..."What are you doing?"
Alex loves it when she act like that...he can't stop any more...Stevie smiles and starts to kiss him again. She can't stop as well. Alex is not planning to leave at all...And Stevie doesn't want him to. (Temporary?) Butterflies are filling their bodies.
Everything has been said, they both know how they feel about each other, but it's like they're forbidden to be together. An after a day like this, that's exactly what binds them together... They can't ignore it, they can't call it 'just a kiss' any more...A romantic night, full of love, passion and tenderness lies ahead of them. Is this a one night stand? It certainly doesn't feel like it. Alex Ryan has had many girlfriends, but he wouldn't just take a small risky adventure like this with his best mate, right? How will they respond to each other the next few days?
