"What are you doing!" He pushed her away before it got out of hand.

"Hush," Alex murmured, and pushed him back then placed herself on top of him, "This is what you asked for."

She flashed a smirk before glancing to the hallway, "They won't hear us," She muttered as she descended upon Justin again, kissing and nipping gently at his jaw line.

"Stop," the word escaped his lips harsher than he intended, "Alex- this, this is crazy!"

Alex stopped to stare at him and grinned.

His voice grew deeper, "You are crazy."

Lowering her head, her mouth inches from his ear, she whispered, "I know."

She kissed him hard this time and surprisingly he had responded with a swift motion.

Her tentative fingers moved downwards. Shocked, Justin let out a quiet cry and withdrew, leaving Alex panting as she paused her motions.

"We-we can't! This is n-not-"

"Please," she whispered, knowing very well how quickly his demeanor could change when she pushed forward. His eyes were suddenly cold and determined. She felt her heart race and caught her breath for a moment, afraid to move.

He closed his eyes as her mouth surrounded him again. Her hands tangled in his hair pulling his head down as her lips met his. She kissed him with every ounce of passion she had longed to share with him. He was breathing heavily now and stopped to stare at her. Everything was blurred- but still in a way it was all so clear. He then attacked her lips. Her eyes were on him and she felt her breath catch again in her throat. "Take me now," she demanded breathlessly just the sight of him made her body feel like it was on the brink of ecstasy. He chuckled softly lowering his body down on top of hers, "Justin.." Her moaning was interrupted by a louder and clearer voice…

"Justin?"

Justin opened his eyes widely. He huffed; scared for what had happened.

Slowly he looked around him- he was in his bedroom.

"You look like you've seen a ghost," Juliet leaned against his shoulder, "Everything alright? You were tossing and panting like crazy."

He couldn't get the image of her… Oh God!

"Bad dream," He shook his head and tried to comprehend what had just happened, "How.. When did we go to sleep?"

Juliet looked at him confused, "Ten o'clock silly. We watched the movie together and then went to sleep remember?"

"Oh.. Right." Justin shifted uncomfortably so that he was facing away from her.

His hands traveled down. He had to check that there was nothing extra going on.. down there… He sighed in relief as he realized he had not gone that far.

"Are you sure everything is okay?" She sighed and turned to hug him.

He swallowed and nodded, knowing that he wouldn't sleep another second during that night.

He stared ahead, his eyes empty. Justin yawned and looked at the kitchen clock.

He could have slept a little longer, but he was too afraid. Somehow his mind was bouncing, clearly he was not well..

He had figured that he was probably just exhausted and the dream was just a product of thoughts that had been there.. For some reason.

His eyes were closed when her little voice brought him back.

"Daddy!" Emma nudged him, "Look!" She had been there the whole time coloring some pictures and he hadn't even noticed.

"That's great honey.." He murmured and took a sip from his coffee.

"Daddy!" She kept insisting, "Color with me!"

"Not now." He held his head.

"Daddy!"

He snapped, "I said, not now!"

The little girl looked like she was about to cry, then simply ran out of the kitchen.

Justin realized his mistake and went after her, "Emma, I'm sorry-"

He didn't watch where he was going and bumped into her.

"Everything okay?" Alex asked, stopping him. She looked like she had just woken up, tired in her big t-shirt and red pajama shorts, hair sticking up in odd directions.

His eyes widened and suddenly the dream popped back in his mind.

"Alex. I was…" He cleared his throat, "Coffee?"

She followed him into the kitchen and yawned, "I saw Emma. Looked like she was in a hurry.."

"I was a bit rude and she got upset."

"Shouldn't you go after her?" She asked him.

He handed her the cup of coffee, "I'll deal with that later."

They now sat around the table. He on the other end and she on the other-

First Alex hadn't noticed that he had been staring at her for quite a while, but then caught his eyes, "What?"

"I was just thinking." Justin continued staring blankly ahead.

"About yesterday?" She smiled, "I shouldn't have brought it up when you were still in work. Sorry."

"You just caught me off guard. Obviously I can't tell you what to do-"

Alex laughed suddenly, before he could finish his thoughts, and his head snapped up.

She was smirking at him, amusement obvious in her brown eyes, "What's going on Justin? You are being weird."

"I'm trying to be fair." He scoffed. He couldn't fight with her anymore.. not after what he saw.

"But you aren't fair. Really what's going on?" She chuckled, "You look like shit and honestly you aren't this calm when it comes to Dylan."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You are jealous." Alex smirked.

"Oh come on! That's absurd."

"Prove it then," She continued, "Come to the charity event."

"You're just asking for trouble aren't you?"

"You know me too well." She chuckled and drank her coffee.

"Sweetie what's wrong?" Alex sat next to her niece, "Is something troubling you?"

Emma nodded, but stayed silent.

"You can tell me." She requested humbly again, holding her hand.

The girl made a sad face, "Daddy was mean."

"Oh," Alex thought about it, "You know sometimes, us, grownups have a bad day and then we are stupid without really meaning it."

"What about when mommy said that you were leaving?"

Alex's ears perked up, this was interesting,"Really? When did mommy say that?"

"Yesterday to auntie Harper." The girl explained, "Please auntie Alex don't leave."

She laughed, "I'm not going anywhere."

"Really!" Emma gasped with a wide smile on her face.

She kissed her cheek and wrapped her arm around her, "I couldn't leave you now could I?"

The girl giggled and hugged back her favorite aunt. Alex knew when the day would come and she would finally leave, it would be hard.

There was a bond between them that couldn't be broken. In a way she saw a lot of herself in Emma.

"Emma!" Juliet stormed in the room, "Honey why are you still in your jammies?"

"Mommy I don't wanna go." She whined back.

"We are gonna be late from French class", Juliet explained to her with a little bit of anger and pushed her into the bathroom, "Now brush your teeth and put on your clothes."

"Mommy…"

"Now!"

She shook her head and walked out of the bathroom, "Kids.." She muttered to herself.

"Uh.. I didn't know that Emma was studying French?" Alex asked confused.

"Yeah, actually I just signed her up."

The concerned aunt sighed, "Isn't that a bit too much?"

"Excuse me?"

"Don't get me wrong.. I mean.. she is four."

"Well her education and future is a part of my responsibility as a mom," Juliet sounded a little snappy, "You'll understand when you have your own."

"Okay.." Alex got a little agitated, "So does Justin know about this?"

"Of course he does."

"And?"

Juliet crossed her arms, "He was okay with it. I don't understand why do you have to question mine decisions for mine daughter?"

"Maybe they are the wrong decisions." Alex challenged, raising an eyebrow.

Justin took a swing at his locker, "Shit!" He cursed angrily when it didn't open.

"Calm down hulk!" Matt laughed as he approached him.

"Not funny." He tossed a look towards him, "Everything is so.. Messed up!" He kicked the locker this time.

Matt reached up to twist the key and the locker opened, "Maybe you should use the key instead."

"Whatever." He reached to get his doctors coat and threw in rest of his stuff, "This day couldn't get any worse."

"What's going on?" His friend asked, "Did you fight with Juliet?"

"It's not about Juliet."

"Come on then," He nudged him, "What's up?"

"You wouldn't understand."

"Try me."

He shook his head, "No, I mean it. You wouldn't understand."

"Dude," Matt stopped him, "You can't go there and do your job if you're not feeling well. Something serious could happen."

Justin closed the door and sat on the bench, "Have you ever.. Seen something that didn't make any sense, but in a way you were so into it that you thought that it really happened?"

"Man, I didn't graduate from Harvard. What are you trying to say?"

"I had a dream okay? A very, very inappropriate one."

He laughed, "That's what's driving you crazy? I see those like every night."

"Matt. I'm serious."

"You're a guy," He chuckled, "It's normal."

"It's not normal- Not for me anyway."

Matt rolled his eyes and folded his arms, "I assume it wasn't about Juliet and now you feel guilty?"

"I guess so." He lied, "Why do you think-"

"You were dreaming about sex?"

"Yeah," Justin pondered, "It's not like.. I don't know."

"What about you and Juliet?" Matt asked, "When was the last time.."

He scratched his head, "Honestly, I don't remember."

"That long?"

"Well since Alex moved in.."

His friend furrowed his eyebrows, "What does Alex have to do with this?"

"Nothing!" Justin insisted.

"Justin, really it was just a dream. No big deal."

He leaned against the wall and stared up at the ceiling. Matt watched him then let out a huge sigh. "Seriously, you look like someone died or something. It can't be that bad," He shrugged, "As long as it wasn't about me.."

"What! No!" Justin grimaced.

"Then stop moping around and forget about it."

He frowned, "If I could, I would."

Alex was looking at her wardrobe. She needed a dress for Friday and fast.

Too bad all her stuff was old and so… old.

She need something new and sexy.

"What are you doing?" Juliet asked and watched the pile of clothes that was on her bed.

"Looking for a dress," Alex explained, "I need it for the charity event."

"What event?" she asked, her eyebrows pulled together.

She tried her hardest not to smile, "Justin didn't tell you?"

"No."

"Oh," Alex nodded, then finally turned to Juliet, "Dylan is hosting this event for sick children. I guess it has something to do with Justin's hospital and stuff.. Anyway its for charity."

The confused wife wasn't sure what to do or say anymore.

"I'm sure Justin forgot to mention it to you." She smiled innocently, causing Juliet to narrow her eyes.

"Well I'm sure I can pull together an outfit for that evening," She stated with mock, she knew aiming at her ego was best, "Oh by the way.. Could you pick up Emma at five?"

Alex snapped in disbelief, "I'm not your maid."

"But you do live her don't you?" Juliet grinned before leaving the room.

Justin had barely made it home. His whole day had been tiring and just plain frustrating.

He was sure he had been gritting his teeth through all his patients. And the fact that Alex had been on his mind all the time made it harder.

He opened the door and gave out a loud sigh, "Anybody in here?"

Justin wandered off to her room and peeked inside.

She was looking at herself from the mirror and grinned as she saw him," You're home early."

"Yeah," He stepped inside the room, "Where is Juliet?"

"Picking up Emma." Alex smirked and held up her glass of whiskey, "I was supposed to at first, but then Juliet insisted."

"Oh.."

She poured herself some more and then turned towards him.

"Want one?"

"Alex, it's barely five thirty in the afternoon, a little early don't you think?" He responded sounding doubtful. She could practically hear him roll his eyes.

"Right, forgot who I was talking to, of course Mister Goody-Goody. How silly of me to even ask." She replied, her voice lightly mocking him.

"Now look here, just because I don't want to get pissed of my head in the middle of the day doesn't make me boring, or goody-goody, it just means I'm not halfway to an alcoholic like some people." He snickered, her unerring ability to get under his skin was incredible.

He knew he was playing a dangerous game, but he couldn't help it.

Justin caught the smirk on her lips and suddenly realized that everything she had said to him for the last few days had been deliberately aimed to annoy him, "You're doing this intentionally aren't you?"

Alex merely looked at him wide eyed and innocent.

"Don't give me puppy dog eyes. Is your life that pathetic that fighting with me is your only entertainment?"

"As amusing as arguing with you is, that's not why I do it."

He raised his eyebrows in question.

"I'm just blurring the lines." She raised her glass, "Cheers."

Oh btw. sorry for the confusion- the whole party event will be in next chapter...

And sorry dont kill me for making it a dream :D

lets just say that next chapter will be BIG turning point for this story..
