Chapter 10: Je T'aime
Alex sat by the window gazing out at the streets below. A warm cup of coffee held in one hand, she watched as the traffic crawled past.
Casey turned the page of her book with a sigh. Not that she'd been reading. She'd been half asleep, but every time she'd woken, she'd felt compelled to turn a page so Alex didn't think it took her half an hour to read one page of whatever book she'd picked up from her bookshelf.
Alex watched her with amusement, wondering when she'd realize she'd picked up a book written entirely in French, a language she couldn't understand.
"So, what are you reading?" Alex asked.
Casey looked down at the words, suddenly realizing they were or a foreign language and she couldn't decipher a word. "Uh, a lovely romance about two young lovers, why?"
"Hmm. Funny you read it that way, because when I read it, it was about French politics in the 1800's."
She blushed a bit, snapping the book closed. "Think you're real smart, don't you?"
"As a matter of fact, yeah, I do." Alex pulled the book from her.
Casey smiled, wrapping her arms around Alex's waist. "Oh yeah, then what am I thinking about?"
"Hmm. Probably about how good my lips look right now, and how much you'd like to kiss me. Especially if I start speaking French to you, mon bel amant."
Dramatically, she fell to the couch, the back of her hand to her forehead, smiling. She sat up, eyebrows quirked.
"So when they delivered our luggage was everything there?" she asked, batting her eyelashes at Alex, hoping she'd hear the tinge of seduction in her words and realize how badly she wanted to see that outfit on her again.
"Sauf pour les menottes." Alex hovered over her with a smile on her face.
"Wh-what does that mean?" Casey asked.
Alex gave a smile and leant down to kiss her gently before speaking in a husky voice. "Except the handcuffs. At least, I think. It never came up in the conversational French class I took."
Casey leant into her neck. "A-and the first...?" she whispered, sounding a bit far off. "Mon bel amant? Sounds...sexy."
Alex moved closer to her, her head turning a moment to nibble her earlobe before she whispered, "My beautiful lover."
Casey sighed happily, resting in her arms as they sat up. "God, I wish I could speak French... Beautiful language. Coming from you...its even more sexy. Please keep talking," she asked, situating herself comfortably in her lap.
"Hmm...French mustard...French fries...baguette, croissant...more?" Alex glanced at her.
Casey rolled her eyes, sighing. "Never mind then."
"Je t'aime. Vous êtes mon monde." Alex spoke softly.
She smiled. "Je t'aime, is I love you, right?" Casey asked. "Vous êtes mon monde?"
"You are my world."
Casey hugged her tightly. "You'll always be my world...and my girl. I'm probably never going to remember all these phrases! Never be able to hear them without feeling weak in the knees...when you say them to me," she whispered into her neck.
