The Only One: Chapter 29

The sunlight peeked through the blinds of the bedroom. It was going to be another beautiful day. Faith was glad that she had the day off because her back was killing her. She pulled Bos's shoulder so he would roll over onto his back. He held his arms out for her to cuddle on his chest, even though he was still asleep.

Faith laid her head on his shoulder and threw her arm up around his neck. She started to kiss him softly. He LOVED to have his neck kissed. It was the best way to wake up, in his opinion.

" Umm. That's feels good". he mumbled, not quite awake, but loving the feeling of her lips on his skin.

" Let's get up and go get some breakfast" she said, running her fingers over his chest playfully.

He opened his eyes and grinned at her sleepily, " I'd like to have you for breakfast if you don't mind". he said, coyly.

" That could be arranged - if you go down to the deli and get me one of their breakfast sandwiches." she said, giving him her puppy dog face.

He widened his eyes, " Oh, now it's ME who gets up and goes to the deli...what happened to both of us of going"? he joked.

" I'm too fat to go out in public now...and besides...I'm really hungry and I don't think I can make it....please go for me? If you do, I'll do a little something for you when you get back." she said as she raised her eyebrows suggestively.

He sighed and shook his head, though he was smiling. " I knew that there had ta be a reason for you wakin' me up like that!"

She mewed and put her lip out, pretending to sulk.

" Oh, alright" he said, pushing the covers off of him and getting out of the bed. He looked for the pair of jeans he had thrown on the floor the night before and began to put them on. Next he picked up a t-shirt that was lying on the floor and sniffed it. It seemed ok to him and he pulled it on over his head.

Faith wrinkled her nose. " Yuck. Why can't you just put a clean one on"? she asked.

He turned around and gave her a mock glare. " Cause I don't plan on wearin' it for that long. And when I get back I expect to see your naked little behind in that bed. Don't question me, woman!"

Faith rolled her eyes dramatically. " Oh, kind sir, please forgive me." she pretended to fall into a faint. Then she opened her eyes and winked at him. " If you plan on gettin' lucky again, you better bring me a king sized breakfast." she said.

" Uh huh." he said as he left the room. He went into the kitchen and grabbed a pair of sneakers and his NYPD baseball cap and slapped it on over his unruly hair.

He had the door halfway open when she called to him from the bedroom, " Oh, and Bosco, get a LARGE decaf for me, please".

" Ya". he said as he opened the door further.

" Oh, and the baby wants an apple fritter donut, please" she shouted again.

" UH HUH" he yelled a little louder. What was this? Man-servant day? He shook his head and stepped out into the hallway before she could ask for anything else.

Alicia had been awake since Five. It was now 9:30. Wow! It had taken long enough for Maurice to leave the apartment. She knew that it was only a matter of time before he had to go out for something. She eased the door to the closet open and stepped outside. She stretched her arms wide and turned her body around to loosen the tention that had built up.

She had thought about killing Maurice all night. In the end she decided not to. She still had a chance to winning him back once Faith was gone.

She knew that she had a decision to make. When she had broken in the night before, she had done it in haste. She hadn't been thinking clearly. Her original plan was to get Faith over to her house and put her in the basement of the apartment building. No one ever went down there, except the Super and he wasn't around half the time. She had seen an episode of C.S.I and the bad guy had put a dead body in the wall and covered it up. She figured she could do that. One problem she didn't take into consideration was how pregnant she was and how much work it would be for a woman of her size to drag another pregnant woman into the basement and build a wall around her. Now that she was here, she knew that her dirty work had to be done quickly in order for her to get out before Maurice got back.

In truth, she didn't know what she was going to do. But she was here. And she needed to do something quick.

She grabbed the knife that she had placed in the closet and walked into the hall. Faith had turned the tv on pretty loud, so Alicia didn't anticipate that she would hear her coming. She kept quiet anyway. She rounded the corner and stepped into the room. It was time.
