Hey Guys, sorry about the delay in this chapter, I've been in hospital I had appendicitis and had to have an emergency operation but I'm back now and ready to go! Hope you are all still reading!
Disclaimer: I don't own Ashes to Ashes
Secrets and surprises.
The next morning I woke very early, the first thing I did was phone Molly's friends mum an ask if she could stay till the late afternoon as I had an emergency to deal with, I needed a few hours with Gene alone to sort through everything.
Next I had a nice hot shower to relive the stress that had built up since last night and then I got dressed and stepped into the living room where Gene was still fast asleep,
These were the things I craved when I was back home, the talks me and Gene would have, I dreamt every night we could be together and now I was back I wanted it so bad. Molly liked him so that was not going to be a massive issue, the age difference didn't really bother me (I mean it was a heck of a lot better than our REAL age difference!) and I feel so strongly for him, but I don't think I could love him unless I felt sure he loved me too, I have had my heart broken too many times for that.
He looked so peaceful as he slept I was tempted to wake him, but we needed to talk so I shook by his shoulders and he grunted 'Gene, wake up' I said softly. His eyes shot open and he looked at me and he yawned, I smiled at him, he looked so cute and helpless 'Mornin Bolly' he said in a sleep filled voice 'Morning Gene, do you want a coffee at all?' He needed to be fully awake for our talk. 'If yer offerin Bolls' he said 'Okay' I walked into the kitchen.
I heard him sit up and I could feel his eyes staring at me as I made his coffee. 'ta Bolly kecks' he said with a tiny smile 'Gene' I said nervously as I sat next to him 'we need to talk about last night okay?' 'yer bolls I think we do' 'last night you said you thought we had something, what did you mean, I need to know' My eyes bored into mine with longing and trust I hoped he understood.
He took a gulp of Coffee and look at me, it made me inwardly shiver 'I am gunna be honest Bolls cuz I am fed up with the games, I ment that I want us to be more than we are, Alex when I shot you, I felt like I had shot myself in the heart too, I felt orrible', I didn't realise how much I wanted you until I saw you and Ray last night, you looked beautiful'.
I sat there open mouthed in shock, I wanted him to be honest but I never guessed how eay he would say so, suddenly I felt my heart expand inside me, almost to twice the size, I smiled Half molly and half Gene. I saw our lives together in front of my eyes, and I started to well up I felt amazing.
'Well I know yer don't like me bolls there's no need to cry over it you dosy mere' he looked really upset and I thought he was going to get up and go so I pulled him to face me and smiled 'Oh Gene you wonderful man, I love you.' It was his turn to freeze in shock, then he stumbled 'are you sure this is what you want Bolls, because with you, I want to be in it for the long run' I have never seen him look so serious, I smirked and said 'Who better to spend my life with than the manc lion eh?' he smiled and said and who is better for the manc lion that and stunning posh mouthy tart' and with that we closed the gap between us and caught in a perfect kiss that expressed love and 3 years of longing. It was perfect. I looked into his eyes as we broke apart and I saw the same feelings that I felt.
'Your perfect Alex Drake, I love you' I smiled at him and cuddled into him and that's how we stayed for the next few hours, cuddles and soft kisses and light banter. 'Bolly I want to take this slowly, don't wanna mess it up, and you have Molly to think about and she must always come first, and we have our professionalism to think of at work' I smiled at his thoughtfulness, I had seen a new side to him today and I smiled again at the knowledge that this side of him was all mine
'Thank you Gene, it's a good idea' I realised that molly would be back soon and when she left I was on a date with Ray and now I am kissing Gene on our sofa planning our lives together. Gene obviously had the same thought in his head because he got up. I instantly missed his warm body and he said 'I've got to go luv, Molly will be back soon have a good night' his kissed me passionately and grabbed my bum; It took all my strength not to drag him to the bedroom there and then.
We broke apart breathless and we smiled like naughty teenagers 'Dirty mare' he said with a smirk and with that he kissed my forehead and left.
I was still smiling as Molly came home that evening as I cooked us cottage pie and she mistook it that my date with Ray went really well and said 'You let Ray sleep here then mummy?' with a smirk. 'No I didn't Molls, me and Ray are just good friends, Gene slept on the sofa as he was too drunk to drive and that was it' 'Ohh' she said obviously disappointed at the lack of gossip, I playfully poked her in the arm and we ate our meal in friendly silence.
So what do you think of Gene and Alex's secret relationship? Who will find out first? Please review it means so much! Xxxx
