Chapter 7.
Alex and Maggie walked into Alex's apartment. Maggie sat down and sighed. Alex put her car keys on the counter and smiled at her girlfriend, because she was proud of her. Proud that she apologized to Emily. Most people wouldn't do that. They still have way more to discuss but Alex doesn't want to push her because she's been through enough for one day.
" Can I stay here tonight?", Maggie asked, clearly exhausted.
Alex sat down beside her, " Of course you can stay here, you don't have to ask, your always welcome", Alex said reaching out her hand so she can put a strand of Maggie's hair behind her ear. Maggie instantly relaxed into the touch.
" What do you want to do?", Alex asked.
" To be honest, I'm exhausted, can we go to bed now?"
" Sure".
Alex took Maggie's hand and walked her over to her bed and sat her down. She then lifted Maggie's t-shirt over her head.
" What are you doing?", Maggie asked.
" I'm helping you put on your pyjamas, because you are tired and I want to help you".
Maggie chuckled, " Okay Danvers".
Alex helped Maggie put her pyjamas on and she put her own on. She got in the bed beside Maggie and pulled her in closer so she could hold her. There was a few minutes of comfortable silence, until Alex decided to break the silence.
" Are you okay?".
Maggie turned around so she could face her.
" What I did, to Emily, please know that I will never do that to you", Maggie said cupping Alex's face with tears almost forming in her eyes. Alex's heart broke at the sight.
" I know you won't", Alex replied, and she leaned in to give Maggie a quick kiss.
" You do?", Maggie asked.
" Maggie, I don't think any less of you after what I found out today, okay? We have all done stupid things and what you did was really stupid, but you are not a bad person and you are still and always will be perfect to me okay?".
All Maggie could do was nod her head. She didn't know what to say.
Alex leaned in to kiss her again. Maggie pulled away after a few seconds, " Thank you", she whispered. " I don't know what I'd do without you".
Alex smiled and kissed her again, " You should sleep, you look exhausted".
Maggie chuckled, " You saying I don't look good?".
" Never, you always look beautiful", Alex laughed.
" Hmm, but yeah, you're right, I am very tired, can you hold me?", Maggie asked smiling with her dimples on show.
" Of course babe, come here".
Maggie let herself relax in her girlfriend's arms.
" Good night Maggie", Alex said, placing a quick kiss to Maggie's neck.
" Good night Danvers".
