Hope you like this chapter! Typical bit of Galex: arguing and making up!

By the time Alex had made it back, Gene was sat at the bar in Luigi's. An empty whiskey glass lay in front of him and a glass of red wine was waiting for her.

"I think we need a drink Bolls."

"No. You can't sort this out with alcohol! It won't get rid of how you feel!" She walked off, feeling foolish at thinking he'd come to apologize: to win her over.

He followed her up to the flat, not giving in just yet. He used his crocodile boot clad foot to prevent her from shutting the door in his face and he trailed her like a lion pursuing a gazelle: the Manc Lion and a slender, agile gazelle.

"We have to talk about this Alex! You can't just walk away from me!"

"Why not? Why can't I? It's not like I want to be here is it? I just want to get home!"
"Well why don't you then? Click your ruby slippers and go home Alex; no one is making you stay!" laughed Gene, his voice venomous and bitter.

"You don't understand! I want to see Molly! I want to go back and see her!" Alex shouted, tears forming in her brown eyes.

"I love you Alex. I thought you loved me too! What do you want me to do? How can I make you happy?" His voice sounded softer than before as he tried to calm her down.

"You don't love me! You pity me! If I were a proper mother I wouldn't have lost our ba…" her voice trailed off, caught up in tears of anger and sadness. "You used to say I was sexy." She began. "You used to tease me and annoy me, but I loved it and now we're never going to get that back!"

Gene looked at her, her hair was messy but in an attractive way that suddenly turned him on. Salty tears were smudged down her face in a muddle of eyeliner and mascara. He suddenly felt an overpowering urge to touch her, to be with her and to comfort her. He pushed her up against the wall and she gasped in surprise. He pressed his lips clumsily to hers in a surge of emotion and passion and ran his hands through her hair, wanting her close so he never had to let her go. She was his reason for living, his whole world. She needed to know how beautiful she really was. They could get through anything as long as they were together. They were Gene and Alex.

Hope you enjoyed it! Would really appreciate reviews! xxx
