Heaven
Disclaimer: I don't own them. If I did, Roswell would be a totally different world. This wouldn't be necessary. And I would
be SUCH a happy
camper. Also, I don't own "Show Me
Heaven" by Jessica Andrews. So please
don't sue me.
Author's Note: Alex and Isabel didn't get to play out the
story most of us know they deserved. Since the writers chose to kill off a wonderful character, and therefore
can't tell the story that still needs to be told, I've decided to attempt
it. Obviously, in my AU world, Alex
doesn't die. I'm also creating my own
happy world after prom. This is the
first time I've attempted anything other than angsty-stuff, so I would really
love feedback. It will keep me writing,
so if you want more, you've got to tell me.
Distribution: Ask and ye shall receive.
Alex POV – Show Me
Heaven
I grin at her as she
snuggles into my arms again, the sunlight glinting off the ring I've just given
her. I couldn't stop the joy and pride
I'm feeling right now if my life depended on it. Isabel Evans, the love of my life, is wearing my ring.
My princess smiles
up at me. Then her smile turns playful.
"Did you hear Tess and Kyle going at it last night?" she whispers.
I can't help but
laugh. "No, not over Maria and
Michael!"
She shudders. "They did sound like a pack of wild
monkeys, didn't they? I think I'm
scarred for life."
"I think I can fix that,"
I whisper in her ear as I begin to kiss her. She looks surprised for a second, and then her eyes flash with passion
as she responds. Kissing Izzy is like
heaven.
//There you go
Flashing fever from your eyes
Hey babe, come over here and shut them tight
I'm not denying
We're flying above it all
Hold my hand, don't let me fall
You've such amazing grace
I've never felt this way...//
"Don't you think the
others are going to wonder what we're doing?" she asks a while later as I
explore her collarbone.
"Probably."
"Do you care?"
"Nope."
"Just checking," she
purred as I nibbled on her ear.
Reluctantly, I
pulled away. I know that neither of us
are ready to take the next step. Soon,
but not quite yet. "I guess we should
get up."
Her smile dazzled
me. "Don't look so disappointed,
Alex. You're the one who promised me we
had forever."
//Show me heaven
Cover me
Leave me breathless
Show me heaven please//
"So what's the plan
for today?" she asks as I brush my teeth. She pokes her head out through the shower curtain and grins at me. I'm speechless. Her blonde hair is dripping with water and her skin is rosy from
the hot water. I've never seen anything
so beautiful. "Alex?" she asks again.
"You're beautiful,"
I whisper and kiss her gently. She
moans a little and wiggles away.
"Alex, unless you
want to get doused with water again, I think we should probably break this
up. Honey, could you get my robe for
me?"
I grinned. Anything for her. I'm whipped. I know it
and I love it.
She's standing in a
towel when I come back. I slip the robe
over her shoulders and she leans in for another kiss. "This is nice," I say as I watch her comb her hair.
She giggles as I
wrap my arms around her from behind. "What's nice?"
"Just being her with
you. Falling asleep holding you in my
arms, waking up with you next to me. I
can't wait until the time comes when we can do this everyday, and not just for
a stolen weekend here and there."
//Here I go
I'm shaking just like the breeze
Hey baby I need your hand to steady me
I'm not denying
I'm frightened as much as you
Though I'm barely touching you
I've shivers down my spine
And it feels divine//
She turns to face me
and cups my face in her hands. Slowly,
teasingly, her lips graze my lips. Then
she deepens the kiss. Her tongue
tangles with mine, tentatively at first, and then with more confidence.
She can't know what
she's doing to me. She can't
possibly. My hands are shaking as I run
my fingers through her hair. I never
want this moment to stop, but I'm scared to let it go on much longer, or I know
I'll lose my tenuous grip on control. I
know she's not ready to take the next step yet, and I'm sure as hell not going
to push her. I'm not going to do
anything to risk losing her.
//Show me heaven
Cover me
Leave me breathless
Show me heaven please//
She's half-sitting
on the edge of the vanity, and her legs are tangled with mine. Her robe has slipped off one shoulder, and
I'm exploring it with my mouth. Her
skin tastes like the strawberry body wash she used in the shower. Her head is thrown back and she's whispering
my name as her hands trace patterns up and down my spine.
"Alex? Isabel? You guys ready for breakfast?" It's Tess' voice, coming from the other side of the door. I pull away quickly, trying to catch my
breath. What is it about this one
beautiful girl that leaves me breathless?
Izzy turns about
seven different shades of red. "We'll
be right down," she calls, her voice an octave higher than usual.
"It's okay,
Sweetie," I whisper, rubbing her arms to reassure her.
"Alex…we – I
almost…I was going to let you…" She
refuses to meet my eyes, and her cheeks are bright pink.
I tilt her chin up
until she's forced to look at me. "I'm
sorry I let it get so far, Izzy, but I know you're not ready, and neither am
I. And there's no way I'm going to let
our first time be here. Our first time
together – it's going to be special and no one's going to interrupt us,
Sweetie."
//Do you know what like
To dream a dream
Baby hold me tight
And let this be//
Her eyes are shining
as I finish speaking. "How did I ever
get so lucky?" she whispers, as she rests her head against my chest. I wrap my arms around her and hold her tight
to me, so close that I can feel our hearts beating in unison. Her wet hair is soaking my shirt, but I
don't care. I wouldn't give up this
moment with Izzy for anything, let alone a shirt.
"I'm the lucky one,"
I answer. "You're my dream come true,
Izzy. I love you."
