EPISODE 1: BLUSH

Disclaimer: Refer to Chapter 1

_______________________________________________________________________

Alec had fallen asleep on the couch and it was now mourning teatime. Alec didn't really seem tired when he arrived at Asha's, but as they watched the television, Alec had slowly fallen asleep and that was more than likely due to the lap dancing or stealing that Alec frequents in his spare time. Asha had to admit he looked really cute, he had a chip on his eye from shifting in his sleep.

Alec started to move and Asha turned away and tried to focus on the television. Slowly Alec opened his eyes and removed the chip from his line of vision. He sat up and glanced at Asha.

"How long have I been out of it?" He still had sleep in his eyes.

"Not long. You must be tired if you're falling asleep before lunch time." Asha didn't know why but she could feel herself begin to blush as she noticed exposed skin that had become that way during sleep.

"Yeah, well Max had me up a couple of nights back stealing art so she could pay for her trip and Logan has me doing Max's job while she's away." Asha squinted as the mourning light shone through an open window.

"But don't you already work for Jampony?" Alec's expression changed.

"No, I mean her job as his cat burglar, and now that you mention it, I have to cover her at work as well. Doesn't really think about making my life any easier." Asha saw the opportunity to bag Max.

"I know, Max can be so selfish, she only thinks of herself, Logan and those stupid X5's." Asha was steaming now.

"Hang on, I'm one of those stupid X5's and Max is only down on me cause of her angst over Logan. She treats me like a brother, she makes my life hell and beats me up whenever she gets the opportunity. It's the system." Alec stood up and went to sit beside Asha.

"But still, she could of been more considerate." Asha became immediately aware of Alec's closeness and decided to make herself useful.

"I think I'll clear these beer bottles." Asha stood up and went to put the bottle into the recycling bin. She tried to subtly dawdle going back to the couch and found Alec had switched the TV off. Asha feared that the TV distraction being gone would make her do something she might regret later. "Alec, I think it was really nice you coming around to keep me company, but I have some stuff to do now and I'm sure you do to." She started to move towards the door and Alec picked up his jacket from the couch and followed suit.

"Yeah, I should. I have to go talk to a guy at work who has a burner so I can record some songs from the net. I've got something lined up that he wants that is less in value, but he doesn't know that and I'm very happy about that fact." Alec had that cheeky grin that Asha had become used to.

"You're a sneaky thing aren't you." Asha tried to keep the goodbye light.

"Yeah, and the girls all love me for it." The grin never wavered.

"Well, thanks again." Alec went to turn the door knob but Asha's hand was still on the door. "Oh, sorry!" Alec didn't move and Asha was looking strait up at Alec. She blushed as Alec moved closer to her.

Asha closed her eyes and Alec softly kissed her. He pulled away for a moment and Asha put her hand around Alec's neck and they kissed again, this time with more force and more feeling. Alec moved away from the door, towards the couch and lowed himself and Asha onto it. Both hands worked on each others clothes, unzipping pant fly's, unbuttoning shirts and exposing all the flesh possible that made both Alec and Asha blush this time.
