Disclaimer : Castle is not mine.
Alexis and Kevin walked up the steps to the front door and Kevin opened it indicating for Alexis to go first and she smiled at him and he followed in behind her.
When Alexis walked in she was standing opposite a staircase and to her right was a living room. It had a cream carpet and the walls were wallpaper. From what Alexis could see the living room was very large. Alexis couldn't continue to look though because an elderly woman appeared from down the hallway next to the staircase wearing an apron her arms open wide walking towards Kevin and embracing him in a hug.
"Oh Kevin how lovely to see you" She turned and looked at Alexis "And who is this lovely young lady ?" She asked.
"This Ma is Alexis." Kevin said grinning at her and Alexis smiled at the elderly lady "Alexis this is Ma" He said.
"Call me Mary dear." She said a d swatted Kevin with a dish towel that she had been wiping her hands on.
Mary had short white hair and was only a bit taller then Alexis and she had the same blue eyes as Kevin. She could see the resemblance.
"Its lovely to meet you." Alexis said politely and extended her hand but Mary just frowned and shoved her hand away, Alexis suddenly got worried what if she had done something wrong ? Did she say something ? But Alexis couldn't continue thinking because Mary was hugging her.
"Dear in this family we hug." She said with an amused tone to her voice and led them down the hallway to a cozy looking kitchen where there was a wooden dinning table with about 10 chairs and the kitchen counter also ad chairs there.
"I was making a cake when I heard the car pulled up, I hope you like chocolate otherwise you have to leave." Mary said and Alexis' head shot up and she was about to start speaking when Kevin interrupted her.
"She's joking calm down and Ma Alexis loves chocolate." Kevin said smiling and Alexis had to take a few deep breaths to try and Calm down. "I'm going to show her around Ma." Kevin said grabbing Alexis' hand and pulling her out of the kitchen.
"Okay Hun but leave all doors open." She said grinning at him.
"Real modern day comedian you are Ma." Kevin said sarcastically quickly leading Alexis out of the room with a slight blush to his cheeks and Alexis grinning at him she was also blushing and Kevin led to her to the living room.
The living room was much larger then Alexis thought and she could see a wall full of photos of the family. She saw a photo of Kevin when he must have been a teenager and she smiled at the image. He had pimples and he looked slightly awkward. There was a large fireplace opposite the wall of photos and there was even more on the mantle piece. The fireplace was stone and all the furniture was pointing towards it. The sofas didn't match some had patterns and some were just simple colors.
"My Ma she is a joker no matter how embarrassing I love her ya know. I wish I could here more I love being home but being a Detective for the NYPD I had to move into the city and I can't come home as much because of the crazy hours. But Ma she just never stops joking." Kevin said scratching at his head and grabbed her hand leading her to the next room which had a TV in it and a sofa and a few bean bags for people to sit on. "This is the movie room. Ma likes that the living room is so cozy and there are no distractions so people actually have to talk to each other."
Kevin led her over to the stairs and they walked up and Kevin saw school photos going up the stairs.
"There are 2 bathrooms which isn't easy when you have 5 sisters, all together there was eight of us in this house and let me tell you they used to take forever in the bathroom putting their make up on." Kevin said laughing and Alexis smiled at him. He led her to a room near the end of the corridor and they turned right. "This used to my room." Kevin said and Alexis stopped as she took in the bookshelf of books and his plain sheets and a few comic books that were on the bedside table.
Alexis walked over to his bookshelf and saw he had Harry Potter and picked it up and turned to him lifting a questioning eyebrow. "I keep them here for reasons I can't remember but now it just feels weird to move them. I love to read whether it is an actual book or a comic book I don't mind but I love the images a good book can create and how the words can be so hypnotic and I just can't explain it."
"I understand what your trying to say." Alexis said softly and walked over to the desk she could see opposite his bed and saw a notebook placed neatly in the middle with 3 pens placed besides it.
"We could never afford a computer or any of that stuff so I wrote all my essays by hand and got into the habit of keeping my desk tidy when I accidentally gave my history teacher half a history essay and half a french essay lets say that was interesting." Kevin laughed.
Kevin walked up to Alexis and stood behind her "You being quiet are you okay ?" Kevin asked worried.
"Yeah I'm fine its just, I've never seen this side to you and its interesting to see how you grew up and I don;t know how to react and I'm trying to absorb everything because I don't want to miss anything. And I want to show you all of my child hood memories and I want to show you around the loft but I can't because dad is angry and you've already been there and its not the same and dad has most probably told you more then a few slightly embarrassing things about my childhood and-" Alexis was cut off when his lips met hers and she melted, caught completely by surprise.
Alexis put her hands on his shoulders not knowing where to put them but to also keep her balance when she went onto her tip toes to try and deepen the kiss slightly and she felt Kevin's lips moving against hers and she sighed. Kevin took that as the moment to gently bite her bottom lip and then sooth it with his tongue before pulling away.
Alexis' eyes were still closed when he pulled away and Kevin smiled at her and watched as she slowly began to smile.
Alexis slowly lifted her hand to her lips where they were tingling and when she opened her eyes and saw Kevin looking at her she blushed and looked away shyly and Kevin tilted her chin up with his fingers, "You blush a lot." He said smiling at her.
"You make me blush a lot so technically its all your fault." Alexis smiled cheekily and he gasped in mock offence.
"Alexis Castle I don't believe it is my fault after all, all I done was kiss my girlfriend." Kevin said and the word made his heart stutter. Alexis Castle was my girlfriend.
"Hey its not my fault if you recall I have't been doing this whole kissing thing for ages well nearly two hours now." She said and Kevin smiled at her. They both jumped when they heard a voice near the door.
"Well if you two love birds are done Ma said the cake is ready." A woman in her early thirties said. She had the brown hair and blue eyes. Did everyone in this family have blue eyes ? Alexis asked herself. She was slightly tanned and also taller then her.
"Gwen nice f you to make things awkward." Kevin said clearing his throat.
"Hi I'm Gwen Kevin's older sister." She said walking into the room and hugging Alexis who was stunned for a moment before remembering they were a hugging family and quickly hugged her back.
"Alexis." She replied and she looked to Kevin when she let go.
"Kev you didn't tell me you had a girlfriend she's lovely. Gorgeous hair and blue eyes looks like we can pass that on." She said and both Kevin and Alexis' jaws jumped ad she laughed at them before walking away.
"Why is it that my family see it necessary to embarrass me every chance they get." Kevin asked looking up at the ceiling. Alexis laughed at him and went to walk out of the room but as she passed him she patted him on the cheek and he tried to bite her fingers making her laugh and run away with Kevin chasing her.
When they reached the bottom of the stairs they could hear voices coming from the living room "Family must be here." Kevin said as he held her hand and pulled her into the living room.
When they walked in Alexis was shocked by how similar the Kevin siblings looked except one, one person had blonde hair instead of brown and Alexis was slightly curious. Everyone looked up as they entered and there was around 5 faces including Mary and Gwen who was gossiping to each other. The blonde stood up and by now Alexis was prepared for hugs as the blonde woman hugged her.
"Hey I'm Anna." She said. Her and Anna was around the same size. "I'm Kevin's younger sister by around a year." Alexis frowned "Well 11 months but it is so much easier to say around a year." She clarified and Alexis smiled.
Next she was hugged by a taller woman with copper highlights in her brown hair "I'm Bella." She said and smiled before walking away and last Alexis was hugged by a small woman.
"I'm Cassidy and I'm second to youngest." She said which kind of explain her height.
When everyone was sat down Kevin stepped forward and introduced Alexis whilst putting an arm around her shoulders "Everyone this is Alexis." He said and led her towards a spare sofa and they sat down and Kevin dropped his arm and held her hand instead.
"That's it that's all we get ?" Anna said.
"Ye-" Kevin began to say but Gwen interrupted her.
"No I caught these two lovebirds kissing in Kevin old room." She said smirking at her older brother and Kevin glared and Alexis blushed.
"Kevin I thought I said to leave the door open." Mary said joining in on the joking.
"It was Ma, now lets move on shall we." Kevin said and noticed how red Alexis was and how wide her eyes were and squeezed her hand and Alexis looked up at him realizing and squeezed his hand back smiling slightly.
They were at Kevin's parents for hours before they left and Alexis had slowly relaxed and started to participate in conversations and learning a lot about Kevin like when he was younger he at a pickled egg and was sick an hour later so since then he can't even smell a pickled egg or there was the time when Mary and Thomas (Kevin's dad) had left the house for a few hours because Jessica (The oldest sister) had broken her wrist because she slipped in the snow and Kevin and his siblings bought a sleigh inside and put it at the top of the stairs and sleighed down the stairs and landing outside however it failed and Kevin landed in front of a wooden post and knocked three teeth out.
When it came time to say good bye Alexis was slightly sad to leave but knew it wouldn't be the last time she saw them.
"Kev your family is great." Alexis said with a big smile on her face and Kevin smiled back. "Kev I think I might go home tonight and try and fix things between me and dad." She said.
Alexis had been thinking for the past few hours that she wanted to fix things with her dad being with Kevin's family had made her realize that she didnt' want to keep fighting with him.
"If that is what you want but if you want me to come and get you just give me call and I'll be on my way. I'm happy that you want to make things beter with your dad." Kevin said.
Alexis smiled and leaned over the armrest to kiss him on the mouth. They were still at Kevin's parents house but no one could see them.
Kevin was shocked at first but quickly participated and kissing her hard and when he felt Alexis' tongue move against him own lips he moaned and quickly pulled away shocked and Alexis smirked at him.
"Your not blushing." He said not having any control over his mouth.
"Neither are you." She said quietly.
They were staring at each other for a god few minutes before they heard Gwen shout out of one of the windows, "Are you ever leaving or do you want a cup of coffee." Alexis laughed and Kevin shook his head and beeped his horn before driving off.
