Chapter 10 to a LOST Love

"Sayid?"

Alex's voice snapped him out of his reverie. "Yes?" he asked.

"Sorry, you just stopped cleaning for a second and I didn't know if you were okay," Alex replied.

Sayid shook his head to clear his thoughts. "No, I'm alright. I'm sorry, I was just thinking…"

They fell back into their silences, enjoying each other's company again. Gently, Sayid touched Alex's bra strap and said, "I need to undo this…to get the wounds underneath it." He waited apprehensively, afraid she might say no….

Alexandra looked to her right shoulder, not really looking at him, but she nodded her consent anyways. Sayid carefully undid the strap so as not to hurt her, and slid it away from her back. His fingers gently touched her back and slid up to her shoulders. A shiver of pleasure coursed through Alex's insides at his touch. He softly pushed the shoulder straps away from her shoulders and the bra fell off. She quickly covered up by crossing her arms over herself.

Sayid bent down to look in Jack's bag again and found a long roll of bandages. He held the end of it on her back gently, and he gave her the roll to wrap around her front. He wanted so badly to touch her again, but he didn't want to scare her. So she wrapped it in front and he wound it in the back. Then, when the roll ended, he tucked the end into another strap securely and they were finished.

Sayid had gotten very close to Alexandra while they were doing this, but she wanted him all the more. Alex then turned to him and smiled slightly. He smiled gently back.

"Thank you," she whispered. Sayid nodded and suddenly, Alex leaned over and kissed him. Softly, hesitantly…he kissed back only as much as she would give. Then she kissed him a little more intently and his hand slid up to the side of her neck and into her hair. Pleasure coursed through Alexandra like an electrical current.

"Well, well, well…" Suddenly, the couple broke away from each other and stared out of the entrance to the cave. There stood Sawyer, watching them and grinning. "Looks like you should play doctor more often, Ali."

"What do you want, Sawyer?" Sayid asked with a sigh. He started to gather up the peroxide and shirt strips and put them back in Jack's bag. Alexandra turned away from Sawyer and tried to look for another shirt. Instantly, she spotted one of Kate's and put it on.

Sawyer just watched Alex and he said innocently-bordering-on-sarcastically, "Oh, nothin', just wanted to tell you that we're having a meeting down on the beach. Something about those knives..." Sayid saw Alex flinched slightly, but her expression didn't change. With that, Sawyer sauntered off.

Turning to look at Alex, Sayid saw thatshe had donned one of Kate's sleeveless shirts, and he could see their bandaging job through it. She didn't seem to care right then.

Alex looked to where Sawyer had been standing a moment ago, and she said, "How much do you think he saw?" She looked at Sayid slightly questioningly, but more or less nonchalantly.

Shaking his head, he said, "I don't know. You can never tell with Sawyer what he is thinking. Always a mystery with him…" Alex nodded in agreement. She turned toward him and took both of his hands in hers. Looking up in his face, smiling, she said, "Thank you, miracle-worker."

Then they kissed.
