"Wow, this place is really nice. Joanne talks about it all the time. I've always wanted to come here and hang out with you guys." she said looking around as they entered the Life Cafe.
"I wish she had brought you by. That way I could have met you sooner." he said holding her hand.
"I am starving." she said as they sat in a booth next to each other.
"Me too." he said leaning in to kiss her.
"I mean for food Roger." she said laughing as she kissed him back.
"Oh, right. Food." he said laughing as he looked over her shoulder at the menu.
"So what do you feel like?" she asked looking up at him.
"You." he answered as he kissed her neck.
"Roger, I'm serious. Focus, food." she squealed as he breathed lightly on her neck.
"I'm sorry. You're right. Food now." he said as three people stood over them.
"Ahem." Collins said as he, Joanne and Maureen smiled at them.
"Oh, um hi guys. What are you doing here?" Roger asked laughing as he looked up at them.
"Mark asked us to meet him for lunch" Collins said amused by them.
"I am gonna kill him." he said laughing.
"Hi Alexandra." Joanne said smiling down at them.
"Hi Joanne." she said smiling at her.
"It's nice to see you two are getting long so well." she said as Roger's face turned red.
"Do you guys wanna join us?" Alexandra asked as Roger turned to look at her.
"We would love to. Thanks." Maureen said sitting in the booth.
"No, we're gonna let them eat lunch alone. We'll be over there not bothering you." Joanne said taking Maureen's arm.
"Oh come on Pookie. Alexandra asked us to join them." she told her getting out of the booth.
"Maureen, not now. Let them eat in peace. How would you guys like to have dinner with us? Collins is making dinner for the gang at our place tonight and we would really like it if you joined us." Joanne asked smiling at them.
"We would love to. Thanks Joanne." Alexandra said as Roger looked at her.
"OK, we'll see you around 7." she said before they left them alone.
"Why did you do that? I wanted to hang out with you alone tonight." Roger asked looking at her.
"Because I want to get to know your friends. Plus we have all day today and tomorrow to hang out." she said leaning over to kiss him.
"Oh OK." he said submitting to her beautiful blue eyes.
"OK." she said smiling at him as they kissed again. The waiter came over and they placed their order. Maureen, Collins, Mark and Joanne tried not to stare at them, but it was really hard. They made such a beautiful couple.
"Aren't they adorable?" Maureen said smiling at Joanne.
"They sure are." Joanne said smiling at them as she watched them laugh and canoodle from across the room. She had never seen either one of them so happy. Alexandra had been her assistant for 5 years and knew about her previous relationship. She deserved to finally be happy and Roger was such a great guy. He was a good fit for her too. They had a lot in common. She was glad they got together.
"So, where to now?" Roger asked smiling at her as they left the cafe wrapped around each other.
"I was thinking your place." she said smiling as his face fell.
"But that's where everyone's gonna be." he whined looking down at her.
"Aww, I'm sorry. I was only kidding. Let's go to my place." she said laughing as he stopped in the middle of the sidewalk and picked her up into his arms.
"You are mean." he told her leaning in to kiss her.
"Not mean, I was just playing around. Of course I want you all to myself today." she said caressing his hair.
"And I want you all to myself too." he said letting her down before leaning down to kiss her long and hard.
"Mmmm, why don't we go back to my place before you start kissing me like that." she suggested looking up at him seductively.
"Are you sure you're ready for this?" he asked looking down at her.
"Yeah, I'm positive Roger. I like you." she said smiling up at him.
"I like you too Alex, but if you want to wait..." he started before she interrupted him.
"I don't want to wait Roger. Really. I'm a big girl." she said caressing his cheek.
"OK." he said kissing her before they made their way back to her apartment.
"Are you sure you're ready for this?" she asked smiling up at him as they entered the apartment.
"Yeah, I am." he whispered leaning down to kiss her deep and passionately.
"So am I." she said leading him to the bedroom. As they kissed more, they began to remove each other's clothes. He took her in his arms and gently placed her on the bed and they began to make love. When they were done they laid in each others arms and fell asleep.
