A/N: sorry in advance for the very fluff writing. I promise the next chapter is going to be filled with the important stuff and will be more plot than romance stuff! enjoy!
I woke up in my bed. His hand rested on my hip, it didn't make me feel weird, it made me feel love. Maybe it was because I knew I could slide out from under his hand. I wiggled my body closer to Alex. I purposefully moved in such a way that would wake him up. He definitely woke up, he pulled me even closer to him, if that was even possible. His lips met my skin, and I was electrified. He kissed my neck, down my shoulder. It was delightful. I didn't want it to end. I turned so I could see my husband's handsome face. He was glowing for it being relatively early and with how I was sleeping last night. Alex's lips gently met mine. He kissed my jaw and down my neck again. He was most definitely leaving hickeys on my chest region, but I can't say I hated it.
He made his way back to my lips, "I hate to end this lovely party we have going on here, but we have guests sleeping in our guest bedrooms on both sides of our room."
"But," I look at him with my persuasive puppy dog eyes, "But, baby… I wanna have fun…"
He gets out of bed, shoves his hands in his pockets, and walks into the bathroom, "You know, I don't normally make this offer, but because you had a rough night. Wanna join? It will get you out of bed and us one step closer to getting ready to talk to your sister."
I nod, and run over to him, "I'd be happy to join."
After our shower together, it was definitely easier to get ready. I felt more motivated to get dressed. Besides, he was right. We do have important matters to take care of today. Like, I am actually going to work instead of playing hooky all day. And Alexander is going to set up a personal dinner meeting with George Washington at our place. We just needed the extra boost of motivation to get going.
I chose to wear a white turtleneck with a blue and white gingham tank top over it and I tucked it into a tight jean skirt and threw on a pair of nude heels. I did a neutral eye with a nude lip. I threw my hair up into a messy bun. Alex was wearing a dark green button up with black dress pants. His hair was slicked back, and he looked… wow.
"I have to say, you clean up pretty good…" I slowly walk over to him.
"I have to say that same to you." He finishes the walk, resting his hands on my waist and my hands resting on his chest, "You look absolutely stunning right now. Have you seen how gorgeous my wife is?"
I giggle, "I have. She is quite the spectacle."
He kisses me, "I think we should go get breakfast, no need to leave your sisters waiting for us."
We walk out of the bedroom, hand in hand, and into the kitchen. The kids are already up and Peggy is at the stove cooking.
"Good Morning, sisters. Good morning, kiddos." I call them as Alex sits at the table and I sit on the table by him.
The chorus good mornings to me. Angelica looks at me and then to Alex and back at me.
"What is it Angelica?" Alex provokes her.
"You two are the biggest love birds I have ever met." She shoves an apple slice in her mouth.
"What are you possibly insinuating about us, Angelica?" I ask her. I love playing the clueless one. It's fun.
"You guys act like you didn't, but I can tell that you did." Peggy gives Alex some eggs and bacon, they look delicious.
"How do you know? Were you listening in by our bedroom? That's creepy if you were." I say to her hitting her arm lightly.
"No! I wasn't listening to your bedroom to hear if… if the monkey got the banana. You two just have tells for when, for when the key goes in the lock."
"Are you calling me a monkey or a lock?" I ask her suggestively, Peggy handed me some eggs and bacon. They taste amazing.
"I'm calling you neither of those things." She huffs, "Analogies, Eliza. He most definitely isn't the lock, so I guess that makes your… kitty… the lock and his… rooster… the key. But that is not the point. You two give off so many vibes for when you guys get a little dirty."
I smirk to Alex, "Can we test this theory, Angelica?"
Alex stops eating, "What?" He practically spits out his food. I move to actually sit in a chair, but still close to Alex.
"Yes, we can. I'll start with him. He is rather glowly this morning. That normally suggests that two consenting adults… engaged, but the fact that the shine is minimal also suggests that it wasn't done in a rush or that it wasn't done… traditionally… maybe somewhere… a little more wet."
He swallows so hard. She continues, "The fact that he looks put together and you also look put together is a tell. You are trying to hide it for me and from Peggy. You, my sweet baby sister, are an easier tell than him. After you two… pollinate… you are in a particularly good mood. Like yesterday… when you came over after… talking to Alexander. And this morning you seem giddy for no reason at all."
"So what if we decided to… shower after going for our run... it's not like next time we decided to run together you're going to stop us."
"You're right. Just admit that you did and I'll let it go." She says to me.
"Fine," I look at him, "We did. It was great and I needed it."
"I bet you did, didn't you?" Alex asks sarcastically while hitting l my butt a little bit.
"Watch what you say, Mister. I'm the only monkey that knows how to peel your banana correctly." I grab his thigh under the table, moving closer to the spot.
"That's enough sick talk for the whole week!" Peggy says as she drops off more food, "Besides, the children."
Angelica notices my hand still close on Alex's thigh, "Move your hand and eat your breakfast. Playtime is over, we have actual work to do today!"
I get back to eating. Once we are done, the kids go run off and play as we walk into my office to call Mr. President before Alex leaves for work.
