Like Poetry to Wine: Chapter 6: Eve Is the Apple of My Eye
Disclaimer - Though to my dismay, I do not own any of the characters or anything regarding Fox's television show The O.C. However, if there ever is an auction and I could opt in purchasing an Alex of my own, please contact me ASAP!
Author's Note – My gods people, the Rainy Day Women episode...at first, up until the very end, I was confused. "Why is everything so perfect and hot with Alex and Marissa?" THEN sekfjlpafjsokpfjszpfj whatever. If you watched it you'd understand. I was so mad. I didn't even cry. I just threw a piece of paper at the telly. Jeesh, Alex has gone through enough with Jodie, and now my girl goes and decides (or so it seems to me) to go back to old games. WHAT-EVER. This chapter was kind of hard for me to write, considering the circumstances. lol
Therefore, you will understand that, if you thought we were off track before, we're going to be doing a COMPLETELY different plotline here than the show. So bare with me. And keep on loving it folks. Have fun.
Italics – Thoughts
Marissa woke the next morning with a note on the pillow next to her. Before looking at it, her heart stopped, a tinge of worry in the pit of her stomach. But then she picked it up, relieved at what it said.
"Sorry I couldn't be there to see you wake up. I got called in to work earlier than usual to fix some things. Call me on the cell when you're done hanging out with Summer. Tell her I said hi. There's some fruit and bagels in the kitchen. xxx Alex xxx"
Coop got out of the bed, grabbed one of the outfits she had brought with her the night before, and took a quick shower. She still had a couple hours until she'd meet up with Summer to have the chat about her and Seth getting back together. She kept repeating something about a "trip to Tuscany" and "I can't hurt him!" and "What does he got that Zach doesn't have!" As she sat down she heard her Motorola Razor V3 start ringing, the song being played a little tune by Phantom Planet. Not looking at the caller ID, she answered.
"Hello?"
"Marissa? This is your mother. Where are you?" Shizzit.
"Umm, I stayed the night at…" she thought on whether or not she should flat out tell her mom. She knew it would piss her off, but was that enough of a reason to do it? "My friend Alex's house. Sorry, I forgot to call." She heard her mother let out an annoyed sigh.
"Well we need to have a chat. About your absence from the home. Caleb told me about how you've acted since I've been gone." Marissa rolled her eyes and put the phone down. She knew this was mommy's time to ramble, and she could hear her loud voice with it away from her ear and with the volume down on low. After about 5 or so, she picked the phone back up.
"Mom? Listen I told Summer I'd meet her in a bit. It's very important. I'll see if I can fit you in my schedule and give you a call later. Ciao!" And she hung up then set the number for home on silent. She grabbed a couple bagels and some cream cheese, then sat on Alex's couch and turned the TV on. The station that was left on was an old movie station, and lo and behold, the movie playing was the movie when it first hit Marissa that she might have been attracted to Alex. Grinning, she took a bite out of the bagel, wrapped herself in the familiar green blanket, and proceeded to watch House on Haunted Hill old skool version folks for the next hour and half.
Marissa's jaw dropped open. Summer had not only kissed Cohen, briefly, but nevertheless, a kiss is a kiss when you're with a man for 6 months, but she had uttered the three words that she had never even said to Zach. Summer threw a French fry at her best friend to draw her attention back.
"Coop? Yea hi. Um….what the hell am I going to do? We're supposed to be going on a month long trek in Italy, and I can't. How do I tell him?" Marissa switched seats in the both to sit by Summer and gave her a quick hug.
"Maybe wait it out, until he makes a suggestion, or something that happens could provoke you not wanting to go. Don't make it so obvious. But then again Zach is a smart guy. Did you talk to Seth?" Summer raised her eyebrows and laughed.
"You can't be serious. He's absolutely no help. Just makes things worse." Marissa smiled and looked down at the table, then back up at her friend.
"Summer. Just do what you want. I can see it in your eyes. You want to stay. Just tell Zach. He'll understand. But," she put her hand up because she saw that Summer was about to object. "You either do it soon, or forget it. Don't lead him on. He's a good guy." Summer just nodded and they began eating the rest of their lunch, talking gossip about people at school, the new line of Prada bags, Marissa's increased fascination with vintage clothing, then finally
"Coop. What's up with you and punk princess?" Marissa just laughed. She looked at the bracelet on her wrist and smiled, not paying attention to Summer who quickly grabbed her wrist.
"Oh my god! Are you two a couple? WOW! That is way too much gorgeous for one bedroom." More laughing.
"Well for starters, we never actually said that we were GF GF…but I mean I guess so…I really like her Summer. I haven't been this happy since I first started seeing Ryan, and even that wasn't this amazing," Summer squeaked and hugged her with such a forceful impact that they both nearly fell out of the booth. "Ok so I have a question. I knowwww you probably don't want to talk about this anymore, but what happened when you gave Seth his gift?" Summer blushed and hid in her coat.
"IT happened."
"Wait, what?"
"Well I gave him the pencils and new sketchbook, and he loved them. Then he gave me something. He drew this picture of me, then one of Captain Oats and Princess Sparkle." She got the pictures out of her purse and showed Marissa who let out a big 'awwwwwwwwww.'
"Then what happened?" Coop had a huge grin on her face and when Summer shook her head and uttered a big N-O, she started tickling her.
"FINE FINE! Well, we hugged. And the hugged lasted sometime. We were just sitting there." She smiled and looked out the window. "Then we looked at each other, and kissed. I can't believe I would have missed Cohen so much."
"That is the cutest!" Marissa laughed and took Summer's hand. "I'm glad you're happy." They smiled.
"You're ass is ringing hun," they laughed and Marissa answered her cell.
"Hello?"
"Mind if I stop by?" Marissa started to glow and practically jumped out of the table.
"Alex! Wait, aren't you supposed to be at work?" She could almost see the smile spread across Alex's face as if she was seeing her right in front of her very eyes. She heard a click as the girl hung up the phone and she got a confused look on her face.
"Band dropped show," Marissa felt two hands on her shoulders and a kiss on the top of her head. "So I thought I'd come by." Summer let out a huge "Awwww!" And Marissa spun around, practically jumping in the other girl's arms. Alex started laughing, gave her a quick kiss, then sat in the bench across from the other girls. "Hey Summer."
"Hey Alex," Summer replied. "You better take care of my girl," she raised a fist. "I'm sure Cohen told you about my raging blackouts!" They all started laughing. Alex's boot tangled with Marissa's high heels and she smiled.
"He told me. No worries." The waitress came by and Alex ordered a grande Chai soy latte. The three of them got to talking about the Cohen household. Summer brought up that Ryan and Lindsay seemed to be going on and off, causing Marissa to roll her eyes.
"Gah that girl! She thinks she's above everyone else! You know, after Ryan apologized to me, she told him that I forced her into drinking all that that one night?" Summer's mouth dropped. Alex just looked a little worried…
"Bitch! I hope he dumps her!"
"Well if he's happy with her, more power to him I guess. I just don't want him to get hurt you know? I mean, yea I still care about him. He's like a brother to me now." Alex let out a silent sigh of relief. Marissa caught it and gave her hand a tight squeeze. Summer interrupted, noting the awkward silence.
"I told Zach I'd catch a movie with him in a bit," she gave Marissa a big hug, "I'll see ya later Coop." And patted Alex's head, provoking the other to giggle. "Haha, see you later too Alex. Have fun you two!" And Summer skipped away humming…Darth Vader's theme song! The two girls raised eyebrows and just started laughing. Alex switched booth sides and sat next to Marissa.
"So are we still going to your house to watch movies and hang?" M nudged into Alex and nodded. "Sweet," Alex smiled. "I walked here so we can just take your car. I dropped my bag with a change of clothes in your backseat, in case I end up staying the night…" She blushed a tad and looked at Marissa, right into those perfect doe eyes.
"Sounds good to me," she responded, not breaking the staring game. Marissa grabbed a fry off the plate and threw it at Alex, and hit her smack dab on her nose. The other girl didn't flinch, just chuckled a bit to herself. Alex had a different method of winning. When Marissa wasn't paying attention, she dragged her fingers across the revealed skin of the other's leg, stopping just below her skirt. That was it. Marissa closed her eyes, then slapped Alex's hand. "Cheating! That wasn't cool! If I knew stuff like that was allowed, this would have ended awhile ago!" Alex was just laughing, got out of the booth, and held out her hand to help Marissa out.
"Fine, it's a draw. Let's get going."
"Wow! I would never have pinned you for a fan of Japanese horror movies M!" Alex admired Marissa's DVD collection. It was about 1 PM now, so they had some time to waste. Alex grabbed one weird looking movie called Suicide Club she hadn't seen, Moulin Rouge, Lost in Translation, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, and Garden State. Thank the gods she changed into PJs. If we had to lie on that bed together with her wearing nothing but that mini and tank top, I'd be doomed.
"Do you like kettle corn or regular popcorn? And what do you want to drink?"
"Kettle corn, if you don't mind. And if you have any 7-UP type pop, hit me up with some of that!" She heard the microwave buttons being pushed and the fridge before Marissa walked in. She put the cups on the dresser, threw some of the dressy pillows off the bed, one in particularly she tossed at Alex who threw it back, then knelt down beside the other girl. "Hey."
"Hey." They were very close, with Alex still holding the pile of DVDs, and Marissa with pillow in hand. Slowly, centimeter by centimeter, they inched closer. They were taking their time, considering they had enough of it. When they finally made contact, it was nearly nonexistent. But they stayed there, both of their mouths open a tad, wanting to be closer, but wanting to make it last. Breathing quickening, they came closer, but still not one. Slowly, Coop pushed the barrier, but to be interrupted by the microwave beeping. She pulled away, her forehead leaning into Alex's.
"I'll be back in a sec," and she got up, ran into the kitchen, and came back in a fraction of a second. Alex cleared her throat and got up.
"So what'll it be first?"
"Ooooo I want to see what happens when you get freaked out! Suicide Club!" She grabbed their drinks and hopped onto the four poster bed.
"Oh I can't wait," Alex muttered under her breath.
Marissa couldn't stop laughing. They had just watched the scene in which a character cuts her hand off and Alex was on this rampage of "What the hell?" "This movie is fucked up!" "Did you see that?" "That poor little girl! Watching her mom do that!" Coop just responded with a quick, "Oh it gets better, you'll see." By the end of the movie, Marissa was in tears from laughing so hard, and Alex's mouth was wide open.
"That was probably one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen. But for some odd reason… I loved it!" Marissa got off the bed, switched the movie to Moulin Rouge and hopped back on the bed. She accidentally jumped on a little too hard, and lost her balance and fell right into Alex.
"Sorry…" M whispered. Alex touched her face softly, and kissed her chin.
"It's okay…" Marissa put her hands on the other girl's face, lifted her one leg over the other girl, thus putting her in a straddling position. She kissed her softly at first, absorbing the heat radiating off of their bodies and shivering. Then harder, both of their lips turned up into a smile. Alex's mouth parted and her tongue fought to be in Marissa's mouth. Once it was allowed entrance, they battled it out. The blonde moved her hands down to Marissa's waist, pulling her closer. She nibbled a bit on Coop's lower lip, and pulled away as the other girl allowed her to pull her shirt off. Alex's hands wandered up her back, slowly, tantalizingly, causing Marissa to shiver. Though still wearing a bra, Alex paused to look at her upper body, perfect tan, luscious breasts locked away in their black prison oh I had to, tone stomach; she couldn't help but let out a little moan. Her hands went to Marissa's hips, pushing her forcefully down and into Alex. She kissed down her neck, nibbling a little as she went down, before going back up to her face and engaging in another deep kiss.
Marissa, getting a little anxious to do something for Alex, pulled away, and licked a line down Alex's neck. Blowing on the wet flesh, she felt the other girl shiver, then kissed her revealed collarbone before uttering a quick and quiet command of "Off." Alex lifted her arms up; Marissa pulled the shirt off slowly, tossing it to the ground. M used her hands to go over the masterpiece before her. First sliding her hands down Alex's arms, she made her gentle way up her stomach, stopping at the lining for her bra. Moving her head down she lightly kissed the tops of the perfect mounds of flesh, then got off the girl and moved behind her. Starting with the shoulders, Marissa lightly toured the slender back of Alex. When she was done she wrapped her arms around the other girls stomach, laying her head on the top of the other girl's back and kissed it lightly.
"You're so beautiful Alex Kelly," she whispered in the other's ear.
"You're not too bad yourself Marissa Cooper," Alex replied, turned around, slowly pushed the other girl down onto the bed. "Now if you don't mind," she gently caressed the other girl's stomach, "I'd like to do some exploring of my own." An evil grin on her face, Alex began kissing Marissa's stomach, licking her navel, nibbling on the flesh just below her bra, and kissing along the edge of her PJ pants. This got a reaction, as Coop let out a quiet moan. This was the green light for Alex to slowly strip her of the pants. Reveling in the specimen before her (if this is what she does to me just sitting here, my god what's going to happen if this goes further…), her hands drifted from calf to thigh, kneeling down a little to leave a little trail of kisses along the inside of Marissa's right thigh. Both of their breathing was increasing at a record rate, and Marissa couldn't take it. She got up on her knees, and pushed Alex down.
"My turn," she grinned. Stripping off the black Dickies, she giggled a little at the Elmo underwear her girlfriend had on. "Aww, how cute!" Alex blushed and covered herself.
"You don't like? Fine. You don't get!" The other girl laughed and kissed the hands covering Elmo.
"Fine. Your loss," She kissed the wrists, up to the elbows, then back down, taking off for the creamy thighs. Pushing Alex's legs apart a tad, she licked the inside of her leg, and gave a little bite. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Alex's hands clench, the knuckles squeezing so hard they were white. Keeping up the play, she heard a whimper out of the other girl's mouth and was satisfied. Moving upwards, she lay on top of the other girl, and whispered in her ear. "I like this. Should make it routine. Like staying at your house."
"It's a plan," Alex breathed out before bringing Marissa into another kiss. Smiling, she bit both of the straps, then pulled each down to Coop's shoulders with her teeth, raising her eyebrow a bit to see what the other girl would do. Her hands wandered around to Marissa's back, her nails digging just a tad, and in a quick flick of her wrist, undid the other girl's bra. Lifting herself up, Marissa took the bra off, but quickly covered herself so nothing was revealed, and raised her eyebrow, but slowly let her guard down. Alex had to take a second. Sure she'd seen the girl with her top off before, but that was just her back. This was…how do you say…perfect? Leaning upward, she gently kissed Marissa's stomach, then made her way up to each of the breasts. Pushing the other girl down, Alex lightly pecked the first, taking her precious time. Her hand made its way to the other, massaging as her mouth toured the other. She licked around the now hard nipples. Alex's free hand made its way to the top of Marissa's underwear, where she massaged over the thin cloth. With all that Alex was doing, Coop couldn't do anything except try as hard as possible to breathe. Letting out a moan, her nails dug into Alex's arms, and she arched up ever so slightly, wanting more.
"Alex…" Marissa let out. "I can't take this." Alex stopped what she was doing, moved back up and kissed her, hard and fiery, laying herself on top of the other girl.
"Do you want me to keep going?" Marissa nodded and nibbled on Alex's ear.
"After I do something." They rolled over and M's hands roamed over the red bra before her. Her hand moved to Alex's back and undid the bra, slipping it off slowly. She almost felt the need to close her eyes, but kept them wide open. Once the deed was done, she couldn't keep them closed. Returning the favor, Marissa slid down, her mouth touching every inch she could see, before taking in one of Alex's breasts. They both moaned simultaneously, Alex for the treatment, Marissa for the fact that this was so much more amazing than she had presumed. Marissa's hand trailed to the top of Alex's panties, leaving her current location to pull them down. Kissing up Alex's thighs, Marissa stopped, then after admiring the prize before her, began kissing lightly the shaven mound in front of her. Licking around the clit, then proceeding further, she heard the other girl let out moan after moan. I guess this isn't as hard as I thought! Marissa stopped then made her way back up to the other girl's face. Alex's hands went to Marissa's bottom, pulled the silken panties down. At the same time, they both slipped their hands down, a sharp catch of breath for each. Each began to massage the area, then Marissa looked up, making eye contact with Alex. This is it, Alex thought.
"I love you," she whispered. Inaudible, but Coop could read her lips. A single tear trailed Alex's face and she closed her eyes. Marissa said the same, a little louder. They kissed again, harder than ever, their arms quickening their pace. Alex rolled them over so she was on top, and began suckling Marissa's breasts. The other girl's nails dug into the smooth skin of Alex's back and she nearly screamed as the waves of orgasm rolled through her body, leaving her shivering and gasping for air. When the stars in her eyes cleared for the most part, she looked down and saw the other girl shivering and breathing heavily. They had both came at the same time, Marissa smiled. Leaning down she kissed the top of Alex's head, and declared her love again.
In the background, a song from Moulin Rouge was playing as the two girls held each other under the sheets as tight as possible, smiling. Alex sat up a bit.
"You really tore into me there," she grinned and turned her back. Marissa gasped. There were gouges from Alex's shoulders to the middle of her back, beet red, some shining with a little blood.
"HOLY SHIT! I'm so sorry!" Alex kissed her and held her face in her hands.
"Don't worry about it. You marked me. I hope it scars." Then as they kissed again and tried calming down, they didn't hear the car drive up. The front door open. The high heels make their loud trek to the bedroom door. Nor did they see the door open.
"MARISSA COOPER!"
Oh shit.
Wow. That turned out quite well in my opinion hehehe
Hope you liked. R&R as always. Next chapter soon!
'til next time.
Love, hugs, and chocolate frogs hearts
