Chapter 7

Alex had been contemplating for a few hours now how she was going to let Gene know tomorrow was going to be arse stamping day. 'Bring your stamp Hunt' no far to forward. 'I'm going to shag your brains out tomorrow night Gene', closer to the truth but again not perfect. I know she thought this is going to be fun. Teasing Gene had always been fun.

KNOCK KNOCK

"Coming" shouted Alex.

She opened the door. He was leaning up against the frame looking moody and gorgeous as ever. Time to put her plan into action.

"Well good evening Gene." Alex reached up and pulled him into her flat, not even giving him chance to answer. Mouth still open from him attempting to speak Alex planted her lips fully on his.

She broke the kiss, smiling and looked into his eyes.

"Good day at the office?" She started to feel a bit sheepish, losing some of her previous confidence. Though it now felt fine to kiss her DCI at will, there was still something a little odd about it. Oh yeah that was it she felt like a 15 year old about to lose her virginity all over again.

"It's getting better Bolls." He kissed her quickly and darted for the couch. If she was going to kiss him like that again he needed to be prepared for it or he would not be held responsible for his actions.

'This is going to be a lot more fun than I imagined.' Alex. 'If he is sweating at a quick kiss wait till I tell him the good news.'

"So....." He started clapping his hands together. Alex was almost laughing out loud at his blatant nervousness. He had left her only hours ago so full of confidence around her and now the reality of what was going to happen had set in he had turned into a nervous wreck . Her Manc lion all good and scared, she liked it.

"What did nursey say then?" Simple question any other day, important one today though.

"Oh it was terrible." Alex said still trying to hide her laughter. Good job she was sat behind him, her smile was a dead giveaway. "She said that I needed to leave them in for at least another month."

"WHAT!" Genes head snapped round. Alex had to bite her bottom lip to stop herself from giving herself away. "But you said earlier..." The look on his face was priceless, like a little boy who had leant he was only getting a lump of coal for Christmas. It was too much and she cracked out laughing.

"You little minx, your winding me up aint ya!" Gene turned fully around to face her. "Give a man a heart attack saying things like that you know!" He let out a long calming breath. 'Thank god she was joking' he thought 'A month without anything but snogging her id go insane.'

"Sorry Gene couldn't help it, seems you're so easily wrapped around my finger." She started to lean in to him. Kissing his neck up to his ear, she pushed him back onto the settee so she could snuggle up to him. Not breaking contact with his earlobe the entire way she was teasing him to breaking point placing one hand on his thigh, a little higher than he felt comfy with knowing she still properly had them stitches in. "Bolls you're the devil himself you know. Teasing a man when he can't get ya legs round your ear holes, it's just plain..." He stopped and groaned as she placed the hand that was on his thigh over his crotch and started to rub up and down his erection he was trying so hard to hide."...wrong."

"So do you really want to know what she said?" Alex whispered into his ear.

"Yes." One word was all he could manage at the moment; her hands were still in places he would never imagine they would have been a week ago. She had sneaked her other hand into his shirt and was playing with the hair on his chest as well now, god he was so close to snapping.

"Really, really want to know?" She asked him again.

"Christ woman ...." really, really close to snapping.

"Tomorrow." She pulled her hands from where they where and pulled his face to hers. Kissing him passionately, licking his top lip and finally slipping her tongue past his parting lips. She edged her leg gingerly over his lap so she was straddling him. His hands went straight to her waist. She could feel his hard on pressing against her jeans and she moaned softly into his mouth. She pulled her lips away from his and looked at him.

She was planning on saying something witty and smiling at him wickedly but when she saw the look in his eyes she was completely lost.

He had such want, such desire in his expression. As if when she stopped kissing him it had caused him to stop breathing. His eyes now looking back at her changed slightly and it was then she saw it. He loved her. The other morning when he had been mumbling he had meant it.

"I....." She couldn't say anything else, tears starting to well up in her eyes.

"What Bolly?" He was still looking at her with those eyes. Searching now for what she wanted to say. Concern was full in his voice.

Alex sniffed and stroked his face. A small smile crept over her face.

"Why Gene Hunt I do believe I am now utterly sure I made the right choice in coming back to you." She kissed him lightly on his lips. "Because now I can see it."

"See what Bolls." Unaware what he had shown her in that stare he was nuzzling her neck with butterfly kisses.

"That you love me."

He pulled back to meet her gaze. She still had tears in her eyes but he could see now she wasn't unhappy. Feeling a tightening feeling in his chest, he knew he had somehow let his full guard down when she had caught him by surprise kissing him like that.

"Oh that well, you know." He looked down avoiding her gaze. "You're a royal pain in the arse, never shut up, never believe my theory on any case and on regular basis steel my car without my say so but your mine now Bolly. What do you expect?" He looked back up to be met by her beaming smile.

She knew he wouldn't say it not yet. It was enough for now that she knew. She knew that she had made the right choice. Also now in her peace of mind, knew that leaving Molly was the right thing to do. Molly would always have Evan and her dad, her friends and a whole life ahead of her as much as it pained Alex to leave her before now this time with Gene had fully eased her heart ache. This wonderful complex, ignorant, sexist pig of a man in front of her only had..... Her.

"Well then in that case I think you should go home and get ready for tomorrow night. You're going to take me out and then you're going to bring me home and show me just how much you ..." He placed a finger on her lips stopping her from saying it again.

"Now now Bolly, it's been said once tonight. Don't want you thinking I'm some sort of fairy do we. I'm going to take you out tomorrow that's without a doubt. Then I'm gona ask you again if your sure, before I do anything else to ya." He winked at her; he also noticed the shiver that went through her as he did so.

"Spoil sport." She smiled at him and gave him a quick kiss before, reluctantly, getting of his knee.

She pulled him up had stood there a little coyly with her hands in her back pockets of her jeans.

"So tomorrow then?" She said looking up at him.

"Tomorrow Bolly." He leant down and kissed her. Her hand sneaking out of her jeans and finding his arse. He grunted on her lips.

"Seriously Bolls, you're a bloody prick teaser!...." Turning his head slightly he whispered in her ear".....I like it."

He went to gather his jacket he had managed to take off before she pounced on him leaving Alex smiling on the spot.

"Right then 8 o'clock ok for ya Bolly Kegs?"

"Perfect." She answered. "Sleep tight Gene."

He turned around to her pulling on his coat. "Sleep? You think I'm going to sleep with this?" He gestured towards his crotch.

"Sorry I can't help you out with that. Tomorrow how ever...." She lifted her head up and gave him a caste kiss on the lips good bye.

"Devil." He muttered at her. He turned towards her door and went for the handle.

"Think of me then." Alex shouted laughing to herself.

"Always do Bolly, always do."

He closed the door on his way out. Alex herself doubting sleep would take her tonight. She had a date with her DCI the next day and my was it going to be eventful.
