After a week of Maggie keeping a close eye on Alex -meaning staying in her apartment every night and holding her as tightly as she could- it was time for both of them to go back to work. Alex was happy to go back to work. She was doing very well for someone who had just been kidnapped and locked in a tank. However, Maggie was not exactly the happiest. Not being able to keep an eye on Alex and make sure she's okay bothered her a lot.
"Are you sure you're ready to go back to work?" Maggie asked as she got dressed. Alex stopped making the bed and looked at the brunette from across the bed.
"Babe, we've talked about this, I'm fine. I'm ready." Alex slowly walked round to her girlfriend and softly placed her hand on her cheek. "You don't need to worry about me, I'll be safe." A small smile formed on Maggie's face.
"I know, but I can't stop myself from worrying." Alex nodded softly, as her thumb lightly rubbed Maggie's cheek.
"I know… how about we make a deal? I'll check in every few hours and you'll try to not worry." Maggie smiled lightly.
"Deal." Alex kissed her girlfriend with a smile on her face. Alex went back to making the bed but Maggie stood there for a second. Just looking at Alex. Her amazingly brave and badass girlfriend. A smile formed on her face. She knew she shouldn't be worried after the navy seal stuff Alex pulled in the tank but she would always be worried for someone who she loved this much.
"Okay, I need to go before I'm late." Alex pressed a quick kiss to Maggie's cheek and grabbed her stuff. Maggie sat quietly as she watched Alex in her DEO gear rushing about the apartment as she grabbed her stuff. She took a deep breath to calm down her nerves. Alex ran over to the door and left but just before she shut it she popped her head round back into the room.
"I love you." A huge smile appeared on Maggie's face. She loved hearing those three words.
"And I love you." With a huge smile on her face Alex left for work.
The day was slow for Maggie. She was stuck catching up on a bunch of paper work that had piled up during her week off. And so, she kept checking her phone and like Alex had promised she checked in every so often. Suddenly Maggie's phone buzzed on her desk.
'Meet me outside.' A smile formed on her face as she got up and ran outside to find her girlfriend leaning against her car with a huge smile on her face.
"Hey you." Alex said as Maggie ran down the stairs of the police precinct.
"Hi, what are you doing here?"
"I thought we could have lunch so that you could see that I am perfectly fine."
"How considerate of you, is that the only reason?" Maggie asked as she seductively walked over to Alex and wrapped her arm around her waist.
"No…" Alex said with a smirk. "I also just really wanted to see you." A huge smile formed on Maggie's face with Alex quickly mirrored as the two kissed.
"I love you, so much." Maggie said still smiling.
"Yeah?" Alex asked with a smirk as she raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah." Maggie quickly kissed the red-haired woman in front of her again and again and again.
"Let's go." Alex tangled their fingers together as she pulled the small brunette behind her down the sidewalk.
"Where are we going?" Maggie asked with a laugh. She couldn't stop smiling because of how cute and excited Alex was because of whatever she had planned for the two.
"It's a secret." Alex said with a wink as she continued to pull Maggie behind her. Eventually, after what seemed like forever, the two reached a building. To be more precise the building in which Maggie lived. A huge smile formed across the brunette's face as everything clicked.
This was where the two had their first date. Maggie was the one that planned it. She asked Alex to meet her at her apartment. Alex was 100% sure they were just going to go to a restaurant nearby like most couples did but she was completely wrong. When she arrived, there was a note on Maggie's door which told Alex to go up to the roof. Confused, she made her way up there to find Maggie standing beside a small table at the edge which over looked the city. The city sparkled under the dark sky and bright moon. The view was breath taking. And so was Maggie as she stood beside the table which held a meal cooked by Maggie which by the way Alex thought was amazing. Maggie thought back to that night and smiled.
"Wow, Maggie, you didn't have to do all of this." Alex said with a surprised smile as she made her way over to her date.
"No, I did. This is our first date, it should be really, really damn special." A huge smile appeared on Alex face as Maggie pulled out the chair for her.
"This is amazing, no one has ever done this much for me."
"You deserve all of this, you deserve an amazing romance." The two leaned in and kissed. Both could swear that that was the best kiss they had shared in their entire lives.
"Come on." Alex pulled the brunette up the stairs and to the rooftop on which just looked just like the night of their first date.
"Wow, what's the special occasion?" Maggie asked stunned.
"Well, I love you so we don't need an occasion to do things like this." As Alex began walking over to the table Maggie grabbed her arm and spun her round into a passionate kiss.
"I love this and I love you." And with that the two began their romantic lunch which would definitely get Maggie in trouble for being away for so long. But honestly? She didn't care one bit. She, in this moment, only cared about the amazing woman who was sitting in front of her.
