Manhattan Noir
A Collection of John Munch and Alex Cabot Drabbles
Author's Note: While writing the upcoming "Manhattan Waltz", another John and Alex fan fiction and the sequel to "Pillow Talk", entitled, "More Pillow Talk", I got the idea for a series of Alex and John drabbles, each one being no more than 500 words and no less that 100 words. I know that drabbles are supposed to be exactly one hundred words, but since this is my version of a drabble. I figured that I could modify the rules for my own use. I'll open up each one with a brief description and then move on to the actual story. The title doesn't count in the word count
Chess
One of John Munch's habits was chess. So it was fitting that he decided to teach it to his significant other, Alexandra Cabot. Lucky for him, Alex was a very fast learner. She picked up the game very quickly and soon the majority of their dates were spent in the brownstone they shared, playing chess and having personal time.
On this particular night, they were sharing a bottle of Chardonnay and playing a game of chess. John's mind wasn't as sharp as it usually was tonight and Alex was well on her way to capturing his king.
"What's the matter, John?" she asked, teasingly.
He smirked at her. "What makes you think that something is wrong?"
"You're giving up your king and not even putting up a fight." Alex said, leaning over across the chessboard. "Tell me, John.what's on your mind?" Her blonde hair shimmered in the candlelight of their living room.
"Nothing." Then, he smiled wryly. "I just felt like letting you win for once." He chuckled.
"John Munch, you are evil!" she cried, laughing and slapping his arm. "What do you mean by that?"
"Nothing." He lied.
She gave him a look over the rims of her glasses and then returned to the chessboard. She picked up her queen and then expertly captured his king. "Checkmate." She smiled, eyes sparkling.
"In more ways than one, kitten." John countered, nearly blinded by her beautiful smile. He leaned over, took the hand that was holding his king and kissed it. Then he kissed her. She giggled and wrapped her arms around him and they continued to kiss.
