It took Alex and Maggie a little more than three months and many house-visits before the couple found the most perfect place for them. They had kept all options open, going from bigger apartments, with walls and doors of course, to smaller and bigger houses. During one of their last visits both women fell in love with a beautiful house. It had been recently renovated and reflected a perfect combination of both their tastes. The house consists of three bedrooms, a smaller office, one beautiful bathroom with both a bath and shower, a wonderful open space with a well-equipped kitchen and living room, a big attic and foremost a garden. Some people would consider it a fairly small space, but Alex and Maggie had both been drawn to the place immediately, feeling like this was the house for them.
After too much paperwork and going over their finance the couple would be the proud owners of their first house together. Selling Alex's apartment had been easy, giving the location and perfect modern state of the place. The women had agreed on paying each half of the selling price. Alex had been able to directly transfer the money of her apartment into buying the house. Maggie on the other side, even when she had saved a lot of money over the years, had signed the papers to take on a small loan. The couple had talked about it in depth, Alex arguing that she could pay the rest of Maggie's part, stating that she didn't have to pay interest that way. But Maggie insisted on paying her own part her own way, stating that it was something she had worked for this since starting her job. Alex, getting to know more little bits and pieces about Maggie's past, understood and respected her wish.
All that being said, as of next Friday the couple would receive the key of their house, making them the proud owners. The women had decided to move all of their belongings into the house that same weekend, feeling like they could no longer wait to settle in and call the house their home. Apart from some smaller touches, like repainting some walls in colors that suited their style better and hanging up some different lights, the house could immediately be lived in.
"I'm so happy right now." Maggie spoke softly, hiding her face in the crook of Alex's neck while hugging the woman tightly.
"Me too." Alex smiled, hugging Maggie back just as tightly.
"I still can't believe that we have a house. It's ours, I mean I still have to pay for some of it, but…"
"I know what you mean babe. It's amazing." The agent intervened, cupping Maggie's face in her hands before kissing her tenderly. "I cannot wait to move in, decorate it…"
"Christen every single place." The shorter woman whispered, suggestively wiggling her eyebrows before gently nipping Alex's lower lip.
"Hmmm that too, yes please you wicked woman." Alex voiced, allowing Maggie to brush their tongues together. "Babe… We need to stop." The DEO-agent expressed, tentatively putting some distance between them, both breathing deeply.
"I know." Maggie responded in a hoarse voice, realizing that if they didn't stop now, they would for sure be too late at their work. "I want it to be weekend already." The woman continued, resting her forehead against Alex's.
"Yea me too. Just three more days. Three more days Mags." Alex declared, nuzzling their noses together, making Maggie smile broadly.
"Hmmm... Miss Danvers would you go out on a date with me tonight?" The shorter woman questioned, looking into her girlfriend's eyes, seeing them sparkle with joy. Honestly it was an idea that just spring into her mind, but Maggie really like this spontaneous side of herself when she was in Alex's company. Fuck with their early workhours and getting enough sleep, the detective loves spending time with her beautiful girlfriend Alex.
"Well Miss Sawyer, I don't really know. What are you offering to do?" Alex answered, catching up to Maggie's happy mood.
"I was thinking about a nice dinner out and maybe a walk around the neighborhood afterward, if we aren't to tired."
"Sounds kind of nice. Can we add a long cuddling session on the couch or bed to that afterward?" Alex spoke tenderly, her hands on Maggie's hips, giving her a tender smile.
"I think that can be arranged." Maggie responded playfully, placing a quick kiss on Alex's cheek. "You think you can make it at home by 6.30?"
"Yes, as long as there are no aliens on the loose." Alex spoke.
The DEO-agent was grateful for the understanding Maggie always shows toward her job. At first the shorter woman had her serious doubts about what the DEO did, but as months past and the NCPD and the DEO worked more closely together on some cases, Maggie began to understand and respect the working field. The same could be said about Alex herself. This past year she really began to appreciate the hard work the NCPD did. Both women had chosen a profession that didn't include regular working-hours, something that from time to time makes it hard to nourish their relationship, but they made it work. Alex as well as Maggie understood that sometimes work would come first and they had made peace with that..
"Then I hope there won't be any. I have many plans for us." Maggie voiced, looking tenderly at her.
"I can't wait." Alex replied, closing the distance between their bodies one last time kissing Maggie's lips. "We really need to leave for work." The woman whispered against the detective's lips, closing her eyes for a moment, simply enjoying the tenderness of the situation.
"I know. I see you tonight, love you Alex."
"I love you back Maggie." Alex spoke softly, before grabbing the last of their stuff and leaving the apartment together.
Later that night…
"Thank you for tonight honey." Alex whispered, nuzzling her face against the back of Maggie's neck, hugging the woman a little closer around the waist, pressing her front against the shorter woman's back. The were currently lying down on the couch, Maggie fulfilling wish Alex's wish.
"Hmmm, no need to thank me. I love you and I like spoiling you." Maggie expressed tenderly, resting one of her hand on top of Alex's.
The past few months Maggie had slowly been feeling like she was doing and feeling better. Talking with her therapist and Alex is still hard but the shorter woman realized, after getting injured and having a fall-out with Alex, that she needed to try harder. She didn't want to lose Alex, but if she kept shutting her out that was exactly where they were headed and that was something the detective wanted to avoid at all costs. Maggie would never be someone who talks freely and openly about her past, the good and the bad, but the detective knew that she needed to learn to trust Alex with everything. It was a slow process and it would take her, probably, a long time to let down her walls low enough to let the agent see her weaknesses and pains. But her therapist had helped her see that showing your vulnerabilities isn't something bad with the right person. And Alex was definitely the right person for Maggie.
Apart from that the shorter woman was still reconnecting with Rosa, her younger sister. Things had been going well and the sisters were thinking about meeting each other in person, something that made Maggie feel exited as well as scared. Rosa knew about the move and had suggested to meet up after the couple was settled in, to which Maggie had agreed. After the detective had informed Alex about the situation with her sister, her girlfriend had voiced how proud she was, something that had made Maggie feel self-conscious.
Maggie let herself be hugged by Alex, feeling completely safe in her lover's arms.
"And honestly lying here with you is not all that bad." The detective put into words, turning around so she was facing Alex.
"Not that bad hé." Alex mouthed, poking Maggie's side playfully, peppering her girlfriend's face with little wet kisses.
"Stop babe, you're disgusting." Maggie spoke, laughing out loud.
"Seriously Mags?" Alex questioned, a smile tugging at her lips. "I think we do far more disgusting things than me wetting your cheeks with some saliva." The agent smirked, liking Maggie's cheek just for good measures.
"Totally different babe." Maggie responded quickly, seeing the flirtatious look on Alex's face, knowing she was just messing with her. The agent was right of course, they had shared a lot more than some saliva.
"You think so? Because I don't hear you complain when I do this, licking Maggie's neck this time, a little more south." Alex expressed in a husk voice, feeling how a shiver ran through Maggie's body.
"You're not playing it fair Danvers. And what happened to my shy and sweet girlfriend?" Maggie questioned, feeling how she was getting worked up little by little.
"Well I would say, I've learned from the best and I was never shy." Alex witty response was.
"Yes you were and it was totally cute, you're cute. But very, very smooth Alex." The detective replied, kissing the smirk of Alex's face.
"Hmmm… Don't stop." Alex moaned, pulling Maggie on top of her.
"Oh, I'm not planning to stop any time soon."
"It's like you're reading my mind babe." Maggie whispered, enjoying the feeling of Alex placing little kisses all over her face and neck.
Both their hands roamed each other's bodies tentatively, loving how they were building toward something bigger, without rushing anything. Maggie loves how Alex had become more confident about her sexuality and taking the lead when it came to their love life more often. They were always equal, but the detective knew and had witnessed how unsure the other woman had felt at first, so afraid that she was indeed not build for intimacy. The couple had taken their time, only doing what they were both comfortable with. And it had benefit them both, the level of intimacy Alex and Maggie had reach was something neither of them had ever known.
…
"You really do know how to please a woman." Maggie breathed out, feeling how Alex was catching her breath as well.
"Hmmm… I try to do my best." Alex spoke softly. "And you're not so bad yourself." The DEO-agent added, resting her head on Maggie chest, feeling how their naked bodies were sticking together.
"So full of herself." Maggie snickered, waving her fingers through Alex's hair. "You're lucky that I love you."
"I know, so so lucky." Alex smiled, lifting her face up to look into her girlfriend's eyes. "And I love you too, so deeply."
"I know." Maggie spoke softly, a shy smile forming on her lips.
"We're in this together sweetheart." Alex put into words, realizing that despite everything going well between them, Maggie was still working through a lot of personal stuff. So hearing that she wasn't alone would be important to Alex, so the woman figured it might be important for the detective to hear those words as well.
"Thank you." The shorter woman replied, feeling how Alex placed a tender kiss right above Maggie's heart.
The couple snuggled on the couch for a bit longer, baking in the love between them before making themselves ready to go to bed. The couple immediately gravitated toward each other once in bed, Maggie spooning Alex this time. The shorter woman could feel how her girlfriend was already drifting to sleep, they had after all a long but very good day. And things would hopefully only get better, moving into their own house, taking the next step in their relationship!
As always reviews are more than welcome!
I still miss Maggie on the show, so sometimes that makes me lose my motivation to write. But I love reading other people stories about Sanvers, so I want to do the same. So that being said, more chapter will follow including some drama and of course a lot of love!
Greetz!
