More Chopsticks

"Mmmm." Alex eagerly accepted the noodles George was offering. "We should do this more often."

"And here I thought that you hated Chinese food." George joked.

"I hate what you eat it with. The food itself is very tasty." Alex said. "There is a difference." With a giggle, she fed him a bite of Sesame chicken.

"Yes, there is." He accepted the food and gave her a kiss.

She giggled. "I just realized something." She said. "We are sitting in your apartment, on your bed, having Chinese take out… and not wearing a stitch of clothing, not caring who sees us."

"Well, we'd only have to worry about that if we were in a place that could actually be seen." He said, chuckling.

"Well, you never know." She said. "I mean the FBI could have helicopters circling around."

"Alex, trust me, they only do that they are after a dangerous criminal or something."

"Well, I'm not a dangerous criminal; I'm just an ADA trying to enjoy a meal with her shrink boyfriend."

"Oh, now you call me a shrink?"

"Well, that's what you are!"

She fished out some more sesame chicken and fed herself. "Not that I'm not thankful… my parents always wanted me to date a doctor…luckily, they never said what kind of doctor to date, but I'm glad I found you. You have got to be the best thing that happened to me… aside from my job, that is."

"And why is that?" he asked, nuzzling her as he fed her a spring roll.

"Because you make me happy… and nothing in the world is better than being happy. I'm not speaking for the whole world here when I say that, but it's also nice to have someone around who can tell me how I think and giving me advice and… making me feel good again when I'm feeling down, like after the Brice case…which I didn't even want to try…"

"Shush…." He murmured, pressing his lips to hers. "No more words." He began to kiss her neck. "Now, let me see if I can remember how to make a woman very happy."

"Ask the dragon. In my book on Feng Shui, it said that dragons bring fortune anywhere." She smiled as she showed him the dragon tattoo on her back. "Including the human body… depending on where they're placed."

He laughed and showered her with kisses, pinning her to the bed, causing her to laugh along with him. But as she looked up at him again, she grew thoughtful and quiet, smiling a soft smile.

"What's up?" he questioned.

"I just realized that I have completely, totally and absolutely fallen in love with you." She said. "And it's kind of scary... But exciting."

"I love you, too, Alexandra." He said. "And you're right. It is kind of scary."

She nuzzled him and breathed in his scent. "I want to stay with you… just like this… forever." She said. "Can we do that?"

"Yes… I promise."  He said as they cuddled and enjoyed the view, the Chinese food and each other's company.
