After watching The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Kara managed to persuade Alex to put her nice jeans on, and go see Maggie.
"It'll be worth it!" She assured Alex. Alex rolled her eyes, even though she agreed.
"When I come back, my fridge better not be empty!" She threatened.
Spotting Maggie was no challenge to Alex, who had been thinking about the girl more than she liked to admit. She started sneaking up to Maggie, to scare her, before realising that the idea would not pan out too well. Maybe if Maggie was not a police officer in training. So Alex just sat down next to her.
"Hey." Maggie glanced up from her phone and smiled at the redhead.
"Hey Danvers. Long time. How are your ribs?" She asked as she put her phone away, placing her free hand on Alex's knee.
"They'll heal. It hasn't really stopped me from doing whatever I want. How are you?" Alex spoke, her eyes glinting. Maggie hadn't missed the slight tease.
"I'm fine, nothing really that special-"
"Are you the girl that went on a date with Mags?!" Collin yelled, coming over with his beer. Maggie covered her face with her hand, whispering something ineligible. Collin sat down next to Alex.
"Are you? 'Cause she's totally dating someone, she's like super cheery and smil- Ouch!" Maggie had slid off her bar crutch and kicked Collin in the shins. Collin gave her a disgruntled look.
"Don't embarrass me man, she still thinks I'm cool." Maggie said, her face flushed. Biting her lip so she wouldn't laugh, Alex pulled Maggie to her side.
"Hey, it's important information for me to know you're into me." She teased.
"Aye.." Maggie mumbled, placing her own hand over Alex's and intertwining her fingers with Alex's.
She didn't think Collin could ruin her chances with Alex any further, so she just let him talk.
"What's your name? And do you work in the service industry too?" He spoke, simultaneously getting my date a beer. Alex glanced at me before answering.
"I'm Alex, and I don't work in the service industry at the moment. I have worked at a café before, serving coffee and cakes and stuff. I've been looking for another server job though, since the server industry never leaves your habits." Maggie noticed how Alex didn't tell Collin she wanted to work at the bar, instead making him ask. Smart move, Danvers.
"We have an opening! We've been missing another server since Michael moved to South Africa. Do you have your resumé with you? I can give it to the manager, he's in the back right now." With a mischievous shine in her eyes, Alex produced her resume from her backpack, and Collin was off.
"So Danvers, you actually think about what you say before you say it? I've never seen someone play Collin that smoothly." Maggie turnt towards Alex, twisting her hips slightly to insert herself between Alex's legs. The expression that the action had formed on Alex's face was highly satisfying.
"I try to, uh.." Alex's fingers hooked into the belt loops of Maggie's black jeans. A flush showed in her cheeks as she visibly swallowed.
"I generally think about what I say before I say it, yes." Alex spoke distractedly. Maggie used this to her advantage, taking two small steps forward and tilting her head so her lips almost met Alex's.
"Impressive." Maggie spoke in a low voice. She raised a hand and grazed the redhead's jaw with her fingertips.
"I, unlike you, act more on instinct. What my body wants." She whispered. Alex unhooked her feet from the bar stool she was sitting on, only to hook them together behind Maggie. She brought her lips closer to Maggie's ear, using her right hand to brush away the dark hair.
"And what does your body want right now?" Alex whispered, her lips brushing against Maggie's ear. The hair on Maggie's neck rose, and she could feel her cheeks grow warm.
What I want, Maggie thought, is to be at home right now so I can smash her into a wall with some privacy.
But since they were at her workplace, Maggie adopted Alex's move, and hooked her fingers into the waistband of Alex's jeans. She felt Alex's abs flex against the back of her fingertips as she leant into the redhead's embrace.
"As much as I'm getting a kick out of all this teasing in full view of my customers," Maggie whispered, gently nipping Alex's ear.
"I think it's probably best that I don't screw you in the back until you work here." She added.
Alex obviously agreed, as she removed her hands from Maggie's body and took a sip of the beer that she'd received from Matt, the barman. Maggie pulled back one hand, to follow her example, but rested the other on Alex's thigh.
"Hello, I'm Tim, the manager." A balding man of average build and height walked towards them, causing Maggie to shift her hand to Alex's knee.
Alex stood up to shake Tim's hand, smiling politely.
"Hello sir, I'm Alex Danvers. I heard you were looking for another server." Alex immediately had the customer service voice down. That's a crucial factor.
Within five minutes, Alex had the job. She was handed a black v-neck t-shirt with the bar logo, and an apron.
"You will receive a notepad with a touch screen when you start your first day of work, I'll be in contact about your workdays. Welcome to the team, Alex." Alex politely shook Tim's hand, before placing all her items in her backpack.
"Thank you sir, I'm looking forward to working here." Maggie was extremely impressed with the level of proficiency that Alex communicated. When her manager left, Maggie kissed Alex.
"Welcome to the team, red. I'll be hitting on you." She teased. With the exact same smirk, Alex returned the tease.
"I will look forward to it." Alex quickly texted Kara to let her know that she'd gotten the job, and that Kara should probably go home. She received a quick text back, full of teasing, followed by the information that Kara had already gone home.
They both finished their beers, and there was an unspoken agreement between them as Alex followed Maggie to the back. They would not be parting ways. Alex took Maggie's bag, slinging it over her free shoulder.
"Where would you like to go?" Maggie spoke quietly, her hand running down Alex's arm.
"I texted my little sister to go home, so we can go to mine. It's closer." Alex decided. Maggie smiled. As Maggie retrieved her motor bike from the back, Alex said goodbye to Collin.
"So we'll be seeing more of each other." Collin stated.
"Yup. Until next time, Collin."
"Lookin' forward to it, red." And with that, Alex walked out. Maggie was already waiting there, her helmet on her head. She flipped up her visor.
"I can tell you already that Collin is excited to work with you." Alex laughed at her muffled voice.
"It will be interesting to say the least. C'mon, it's a bit cold outside." Together, they quickly walked home. Alex quickly showed Maggie where to put her motorcycle, and locked the makeshift garage afterwards. They both looked at each other. Maggie took her chance, pushing Alex against the garage door and kissing her roughly. Alex didn't break the kiss as she slowly moved the both of them towards the elevator, and pushing the button. Pushing Alex against the back of the elevator as soon as the doors opened, Maggie took charge. She let Alex push the floor button, before pinning both hands above Alex's head.
"So Danvers," Maggie breathed against Alex's neck, hearing her inhale sharply.
"Let's see how much you think before you do in the bedroom."
