After a few weeks of sneaking into the sewer to bring Michael supplies and spend time with him, Alexis sat in her living room enjoying a quiet night alone.
Allyson had been home from the hospital so between spending time with her, her schoolwork, and Michael, Alexis needed a quiet night to herself.
She sat on her sofa watching a cheesy Christmas movie while enjoying a glass of wine when she heard the distinct sound of her backdoor opening.
"Allyson!" she yelled out, wondering if her best friend had grown bored and decided on a surprise visit.
Alexis felt her blood run cold when she didn't hear any response. She placed her glass down and made her way in the direction of the sound she'd heard, knowing how foolish that decision was as she made it.
She made her way slowly to her back door and gasped when she saw Michael standing there.
"You came? Hold on," she said, her voice filled with surprise as she raced through her home to shut all of her curtains and lock her doors.
The last thing she needed was for anyone to find her with Michael Myers.
Once she was finished, she walked back to him, "What made you change your mind? Were you hungry?" she asked, shaking her head because she knew he would never give her an answer.
Michael didn't answer. Instead, he slowly pulled off his mask and made his way closer to her.
She gasped in surprise at seeing his face for the first time after the weeks they'd spent together. He truly was a handsome man, even with one of his eyes missing. His greying beard was short and, surprisingly, well-kept. He was mostly bald but had a thin layer of grey hair matching his beard.
Alexis was stunned by the sight before her. She had no time to react before he grabbed her and pulled her toward himself.
"What do you need?" she whispered, her voice more breathy than she'd like it to be.
Michael didn't answer, as usual. Instead, he leaned forward and placed his lips to hers. Alexis gave in to the kiss, almost immediately.
They stayed like that for a few minutes until they needed air. Once the kiss was broken, Michael put his mask back on and turned to walk out the way he'd come in.
Alexis took a risk and grasped his wrist to stop him from leaving, "You don't have to leave," she stated, out of breath, still winded from the kiss they'd shared.
Michael didn't leave. Instead, he followed her back to her living room and sat down with her on the sofa.
Alexis wanted to sit next to him and rest her head on his shoulder, but she didn't want to press her luck so she stayed on the opposite side as she simply chose to enjoy his company.
After all, she imagined he was giving her all that he was capable of.
As the hours passed and the night slowly started to turn into day, Alexis felt her eyelids start to grow heavy. She tried to resist falling asleep because she felt in her heart that once she was out, Michael would leave and she didn't want him to go. But she lost that battle and she fell into a deep sleep that should have been riddled with nightmares, but it wasn't. She had some of the best dreams she'd ever experienced in her life.
When she woke, she looked and saw that Michael was gone causing her to let out a long sigh as she got up to start her day which would begin with a visit to Laurie and Allyson's house.
"You two are too focused on your school and your careers," Laurie shared as she worked on Christmas cookies, a shocking sight based on what Alexis knew of her. "You two need to worry about getting laid, grades be damned!"
Allyson laughed, "Grandmother, we're working on it. Haddonfield isn't exactly ripe with eligible bachelors," she added which earned a nod from Alexis, even though she had an idea of who she wanted.
"She's not wrong," Alexis lied, "I spend so much time between school and the hospital that my best bets are a patient or one of the doctors," she joked.
Laurie shook her head, "That may be the case, but you never know where or when love can strike. Look at me and Frank, we were both different people so many years ago and now, I'm pretty sure, he's the one," she shared causing both young women to smile.
"Hopefully, we'll both find our Frank Hawkins," Allyson said with a smile as they continued working on organizing the Christmas decorations for the tree.
