Chapter 99
Nimah and Natalie rolled their chairs closer to Alex starring at her not saying anything. "What?" Alex asked looking at them abandoning the work she was busy with. Neither of them saying anything motioning with their eyes that one of them had to ask the brunette the question.
"Go on Nimah, ask Alex." Natalie said and Nimah shot a look in her direction.
"Okay, spit it out Natalie." Alex said looking between the two of them. Sighing loudly Natalie looked at Alex. "I have a question to ask you. Scratch that we have a question to ask you." Natalie continued.
"Basically. We're home alone this next two days. Clive and Quade are on some training thingy for their jobs. Can we please have Phoebe for one night?" Natalie asked.
"We'll look after her like the gold that she is. If you need to confirm this with Ryan first it's okay. I mean I don't wanna look into Natalie's face the whole time this next two days." Nimah smiled when she saw how Alex looked between the two of them.
"And you guys couldn't just ask me straight out?" She asked amused at how difficult they made it out to be. "We didn't know how okay. You and Ryan are so over protective over that little girl." Natalie said when they rolled back on their chairs to their computers.
"We'll talk again once you guys have kids." Alex smiled getting up walking towards the doors to ask her husband if that's okay. She'd prefer it that way in fact because she has something special planned in her head for the two of them.
She walked up the one flight of stairs and knocked on his door twice before opening it slightly. He stood at the window with his arms crossed over his chest deep in thought.
"Penny for your thoughts Special Agent Booth?" Alex asked from the door closing it behind it. "Nothing I want you to worry about." He smiled walking over to hug her. He didn't want to add more worry without it not being necessary. He received an email about an hour earlier that made him uncomfortable, and the fact that he couldn't trace where it came from only made him more uncomfortable.
"What brings you here Mrs. Booth?" He asked Alex's hands still around his waist and her head pressed against his chest.
"My husband happened to have an office up here that I can escape to when life downstairs gets too much. But I actually need the green light from you right now." She said looking up at him seeing him frown lightly.
"What did you get up to now?"
"Hey!" She swatted his chest lightly. "Nothing mischievous. Nimah and Natalie wants to know if Phoebe can sleep over there tonight. Clive and Quade are away for training since they work for the same company although it's in different departments." She stated trying to read his facial expression.
"If they promise to look after her like the precious diamond that she is, I don't have a problem with it." Ryan said and Alex smiled at how she's not the only one being over protective.
"Are you sure everything's okay, Ryan?" Alex asked when he seemed to drift back into thought.
"Yeah, it's just one of those days where it seems like everything is going wrong and I don't know how to fix it." He shrugged. "But I don't want you to worry about it." He said taking a strands of her air tickling her nose with it just to hear her laugh.
"Ryan stop! You're not playing fair." Alex laughed pulling her hair back turning around walking towards the door.
"You not gonna kiss me goodbye?" He asked when her hand rested on the doorknob.
"Nope, that's the price you pay for playing dirty." She said behind her as she closed the door and walked back downstairs to give her friends the go ahead.
"Father of the child said it's cool. You just need to sign a consent form that you promise to look after her." Alex announced and Nimah and Natalie high fived each other.
"You don't have to go pick her up, we'll go." Natalie said and Alex called Marci to let her know.
Alex returned to her internet research looking though recipes to cook. It has to be easy enough so she won't mess anything up. Tonight has to be special. "What are you searching? Hhhmmm recipes for romantic dinner." Nimah read out loud peeking over to Alex's computer and she quickly minimized the tab she was using.
"Seems like you and the Special Agent are about to get freaky tonight. No wonder you agreed to us taking Phoebe without giving a whole speech about it first." Natalie smiled knowing how much Alex hates it when they start torturing her. She tried to pay the two of them no mind but it didn't work as well as she wanted to and laughed at some of the things she said, blushing at the thoughts running through her head.
Alex left the office about an hour and a half earlier than usual to get her planning started. She asked her two friends if she should drop off a bag with Phoebe's clothes and things she might need but they assured her they have everything covered. Alex stopped asking questions although she was suspicious.
Not caring about her terrible parking in front of the house, knowing her husband will have something to say about it, she went inside. Happy she made the choice of stopping by the supermarket yesterday to pick up some of the things she might need for her dinner preparations. She thought there might be a bottle of wine somewhere but clearly she was mistaken, sending Ryan a text to pick up a bottle on his way home.
She got out the pages that she printed of the recipes and started things out, pots and pans clattering as Alex tried to rush through everything at once wanting this night to be perfect. Pots and pans sizzling as she cooked setting the table in the meantime. Chili lime steak and roasted vegetables and chocolate volcano's for dessert.
When the hour and a half had passed that she used to time herself until her husband would be home it seemed like most of the food were done. She set the table looking at the clock. Making her way upstairs she took a quick shower. Rummaging through her drawers she found what she was looking for a small smile appeared on her face when she retrieved the red lacy undergarments she was looking for. Slipping it on she looked at herself in the mirror blushing slightly and putting on a black coat over it, buttoning it up with some black heels.
"Alex seriously, sometimes I wonder how you got your license when you park the way you do." Ryan said entering the door looking for her car keys so he can park the car properly but decided against it when he saw the table was set. Putting the bottle of wine he picked up down on the table in search of his wife. Taking of his jacket in the process draping it over the back of the couch.
"Alex?" He called out rolling up his shirt sleeves to his elbows when she appeared at the top of the staircase walking down towards him. He just stood there not sure of what to say or to make of the situation.
"I said I'd think of a way to make up for forgetting your birthday. I tried my best to re-invent it so hopefully this will make me feel less guilty about the whole thing. It still haunts me." She admitted.
"Why? I told you it's fine, you didn't have to go through all this trouble. But, I really appreciate it." He said looking back at the table capturing her lips.
Still uncertain about why she changed her attire that she had on at work today because he surely cannot remember the coat, but the small, sly, smile on her face made him remove that thought from his head. Somehow he was hoping to get through this dinner as quickly as possible to thank her for it properly. They sat down for dinner and started eating, Alex surprised by how good the food tasted since it's the first time she cooked any of it. And her husband complementing her on it made her feel much better about it. Ryan went ahead and poured each of them a glass of wine. Once dessert was done they continued talking and Alex brushed the tip of her shoe against his leg deliberately gaining his attention.
"There might be a part two to all of this." She said seductively and he sat up straight leaning his elbows on the table.
"Oh yeah?" He asked smirking as she nodded. As she got up from her chair and walked towards the stairs slowly, Ryan following closely. Once they reached the bedroom he grabbed a hold of her hand stopping her in her tracks. Spinning her around so she can face him. Entangling his fingers in her long hair hanging loosely over her shoulders he pulled her closer to him, capturing her lips, kissing her passionately.
Breaking a part for breath he looked down still wondering why she was wearing a black coat, deciding to see for himself what it was all about he slowly started unbuttoning it, the smile and surprise on his face growing wider when it revealed the red lacy she hid underneath it.
"Wow, now it all makes sense why you were so eager to get Phoebe out of the house." Ryan laughed looking at his wife's perfect body, and the curves beneath the pieces of clothing she had on.
"Just shut up and kiss me." She said pulling him closer to her crashing her lips onto his unbuttoning his shirt on in the process, while he worked on loosing his belt and getting rid of his black trousers. Alex walked backwards until Ryan got to the bed sitting on top of him as they continued kissing feverishly.
Ryan's hands resting on the curves of her hips and he could feel her smile into the kiss as she felt him grow beneath him. In one skilled motion he unclasped the red bra pulling it down her forearms slowly, discarding it on the floor. Taking matters into his own hands since it felt as if his wife was drawing this moment out way too long for his liking. He turned around causing Alex to lay on her back and he returned to kissing her neck and removing the final barrier of clothing there stood between them.
Alex waiting in anticipation for things to continue as her husband looked at her body where she laid underneath him. He kissed her forehead, and then the tip of her nose looking into her eyes. "You are so beautiful." He said softly guiding himself into her and as much as Alex wanted to keep her eyes fixed on his this moment was too much and she enjoyed the moment when she and her husband became one.
Alex tilted her head back into the pillows, grabbing a hold of the sheets beneath her as Ryan hit all the right spots driving both of them closer to ecstasy. But she felt the need for change, taking matters into her own hands turning on her side and maneuvering her way back on top of him, both of them laughing at her actions and she continued where they paused just moments ago.
Ryan's hand traveling up and down her spine slowly her hair falling onto his face, he pushed it to the side kissing her neck as she continued to rock them to paradise. It wasn't long until she picked up the pace both of them breathing heavily.
"Oooohhhh" Alex breathed burring her face in Ryan's neck as both of them found their release simultaneously, and she collapsed on top of him. Neither of them moving both waiting for their breathing to even out and their heart rates to return to normal. Ryan massaging her scalp with one hand and the other slowly traveling up and down her spine.
"Those were some unexpected moves you pulled." Ryan laughed and Alex lifted her head looking at him.
"I didn't hear you complain, on the contrary…" She smirked pecking his lips and stroking a finger through his stubble.
"You know if this is what I get for you forgetting my birthday, I give you permission to forget it every year." He laughed as they settled beneath the sheets limbs entangled together.
