flu early this week, I was working... *shuts up* So, yeah, new chapter... *grins* Oh and I
changed the plot a bit from what I had first thought of doing... so let's just pretend Alden
can hold his alcohol really well.. =P
Operation: Awakening
Chapter 7
Alden's P.O.V.
Sitting in the kitchen, Alden stared down at his coffee cup, deep in thought. He knew he should just go find Sharon and apologize, but he'd spent almost 15 minutes looking for her before Nina had caught sight of him and he'd had to make a quick dash into the kitchen. For coffee, of course. Not like I'm hiding from a chick or anything...
Laughing at himself, he pushed away from the table and began to wash his mug out. Right as he turned the water off, Alden heard the sound of the kitchen door close then felt arms wrap around his waist. Looking down, he recognized Sharon. "Look, Shar, I'm sorry I snapped at you... I was just..."
Without even letting him finish his sentence, Sharon giggled and said "Don't worry about it babe!! Just do me a favor, k?"
Cocking an eyebrow, Alden agreed "Okay Shar, what do you need?" then the room went black. Well, more of a dark red... . "Hold this!" Pulling the piece of clothing off his head,
Alden turned around and opened his mouth, about to ask Sharon where the shirt had come from, and starred in shock.
Standing in front of him, Sharon stood at the sink, washing off her upper torso, wearing only a black bra. Opening and closing his mouth a couple times, Alden blinked before hastily trying to cover Sharon up with what was apparently her own shirt. "What are you doing???!!!"
Swatting Alden's hands away, Sharon grinned. "Sorry babe, just had to get all the sticky stuff off..." Stopping short again, Alden stared at Sharon. "Alcohol, you perverted monkey!"
Raising an eyebrow again, Alden stared down at the half dressed, giggling Sharon for a few silent moments before stating. "You are completely, positively smashed..."
Giggling, Sharon nodded before holding her arms up and waiting for something. Trying not to look any lower than her chin, Alden tried to figure out why she was just standing there with her arms up. "You silly, are you going to put my shirt back on or can I just walk back out there without one?"
Blinking, Alden hurriedly pulled the shirt down a wiggling Sharon's arms and over her head. "Aldie! Can't see!" Sharon whined before squirming and tripping over the mat in front of the sink. "Oops!" Grabbing Sharon before she fell, Alden wrapped his arms around her back, then stiffened when he felt the warm, bare flesh of her back. Her shirt is definitely still around her neck... Pure thoughts, Alden. Think pure thoughts. Forget
Sharon is in your arms wearing only a bra... a black bra... mmm... ACK!
Shaking his head, Alden pulled the shirt all the way down Sharon's body. Sharon's very toned, smooth body which I want to... Bad... Bad Alden! Growling at himself, Alden looked down and couldn't help smiling when he heard Sharon giggle then growl back at him. "Sharon... how much have you had to drink?"
Looking up at him, Sharon screwed up her face in concentration. "Hmm... two wine coolers?" Smirking at how drunk she was, Alden nodded "And?" Grinning, she held out 8 fingers. "Eight wine coolers?" Giggling, she shook her head. "Beers?"
"Some of that but..." Shaking her head again, Alden stiffened when she leaned up and whispered "Body shots..." and then licked his ear before turning and scampering out of the kitchen. Looking around the empty kitchen, Alden turned and practically ran out only to find Sharon on the dance floor, dancing very closely to some strange guy.
Feeling a sudden flash of anger, Alden walked towards the two, glaring at the back of the guy. Tapping him on the shoulder, he jerked his head towards the side of the dance floor. When the guy shook his head, Alden leaned forward and growled "She's only 17 you fucking moron..." and shoved the guy aside.
Swaying back and forth perfectly to the music, her arms raised above her head, Sharon opened her eyes to look up at Alden from beneath her eye lashes. Moving towards him, she wrapped her arms around his neck and stood on her tiptoes so she could talk into his ear above the music. "You owe me a dance now Alden... You scared him away..." Sliding down Alden's body, back down to her feet, she looked up at him and pouted.
God, she's so delicious... Bad idea. Bad idea. Shaking his head at both her offer to dance and his thoughts, Alden attempted to leave the dance floor only to have Sharon grab his hand and pull him back towards her. Feeling her wrap her arms around his neck and begin curving her hips towards his to the beat, Alden started dancing rather stiffly with her.
Leaning up again, Sharon said "Come on Aldie, I know you're one hell of a dancer, now relax... After this one we can go, k?" and then massaged his tensed shoulders soothingly.
Feeling himself relax, Alden began moving to the beat of the music. Even drunk, Sharon knew how to get him to relax. Twirling around so she was dancing with her back against his chest, she pulled one of his hands to her hip and the other around her waist.
Closing his eyes and burying his face in her shoulder, he began moving with her in time to the music, moving his hips against hers and letting the power of the music clear his mind. I don't know why we never really dance together much... This feels so nice... She fits against me perfectly... Hell, she's perfect...
So lost in the music, he simply went with the flow when she brought her hand up to tangle in his hair as her dancing changed and her moves became more raw and intense. Deep in the intoxicating feel of her, he pressed forward against her as her hands moved down to cover his and guide them up to wrap around her body, with her own, bringing them even closer.
The entire mood of their dancing had changed, from comfortable and friendly to demanding and suggestive. Lost in the exhilarating feeling of Sharon's swaying body, Alden barely even realized when the music changed to one with a slower-paced beat and Sharon stopped dancing.
Trying to hold on to the thrilling feeling of that dance, Alden kept his arms wrapped around Sharon as she stretched her arms up and yawned. "Aldie, I'm sleepy... can we go home??"
Looking down to see Sharon tiredly rubbing her eyes, he smiled to himself while his heart rate slowly returned to normal as she nestled her head against his chest. Putting an arm around her, he guided her away from the sweating, moving bodies and towards the corner he had last seen Adam at. "Hey Adam, Sharon and I are gonna get going... we're beat..."
Glancing at Sharon curled against Alden, half asleep, Adam smiled. "She looks it at least... But weren't you going to stay here tonight so you didn't run into any parents?"
Shrugging, Alden shook his head. "Apparently your mother is away on some business thing and Josh is at a friend's so we're gonna crash there."
Raising an eyebrow, Adam stared at Alden hard. "And can you drive?"
Smiling at Adam's concern, Alden nodded. "Yeah, I'm not drunk yet..."
Grabbing something off the table and tossing it at Alden, Adam grinned. "She'll need this later... Glad you came tonight and take care of her..."
After stuffing the bottle of Tylenol in his pocket and grabbing their stuff, Alden guided Sharon down the elevator and into her Jeep. Driving them both carefully to her house, Alden pulled into the driveway and turned off the car. "Come on Shar... Time to head into the house..."
Jumping out of the Jeep, he opened her door, gently shook her and teased "Come on girlie... You're too heavy to carry..."
Hearing her growl half-heartedly, Alden grinned before bracing himself and pulling her out of the Jeep and into his arms. Looking down at her as she nuzzled against his shirt, Alden smiled softly to himself over how beautiful she looked when she was asleep.
Managing to open the front door and make it up to her room without dropping her, he set her down on her bed and pulled the covers over her body. Tucking a tendril of hair behind her ear, Alden headed over to her dresser and pulled out a pair of his own boxers and a tee-shirt before heading towards the bathroom for a shower. A nice cold one...
As he lathered up his hair, he couldn't help but replay the events of that night in his mind... Why did I get into that stupid mood with her... She didn't deserve it and because of it we spent about 3/4 of the party seperated... I still can't believe she just stripped in front of me to wash her self off... damn she looked good in just that black bra... I could definitely get use to seeing that... heh... mmm... wait... Eep...
Turning the shower on as cold as it would go, Alden quickly rinsed out his hair then jumped out of the shower when the temperature became unbearable. "Hehe, Austin Powers... 'Margaret Thatcher on a cold day...' Hahah... wait... Eww..."
Shaking his head, Alden toweled himself off and pulled on his boxers. Assuming Sharon would still be asleep, he hung his towel up before making his way back to her room. Seeing her lying on the bed still, he went about quietly making a makeshift bed on the floor with some blankets.
"How come we haven't danced like that before?" Jerking in surprise, Alden looked over to see Sharon watching him from the bed, her head propped up on her elbow. "And how come you don't normally walk around without a shirt on? I'm enjoying the view..."
Feeling himself start turning red, Alden looked around for his shirt, only to realize he had left it in the bathroom. Attempting to hide his embarrassment, he cleared his throat "Cause it's colder this way..."
Grinning at him, Sharon teased "Awww, is Aldie shy?" Glaring at her, he asked, partially annoyed, "Why do you always call me Aldie when you're drunk?"
Sticking her tongue out, she threw a pillow at him then patted the bed beside her "Cause you let me... now turn on some music and get over her... I'm cold..."
Shaking his head, Alden turned her CD player on. "I'm going to sleep on the floor tonight..."
Raising her head, she looked over at him and pouted, "Cold..."
Laughing both at her for her childish tactics and at himself for falling for them, he walked over to the other side of the bed and got under the covers. Curling up on his side away from her, he yelped when felt a cold hand snake around his bare waist and Sharon nuzzle against the nape of his neck. "I said I was cold, not just the bed..."
Turning over on his back, Alden poked Sharon in the side as she got comfortable. Laughing when she yelped each time he poked her, he grinned and said "You might be more comfortable in pajamas instead of your party clothes that smell like sweat and alcohol..."
Groaning to herself, Alden watched as Sharon pulled herself out of the now warm bed and over to her dresser. Unbuttoning her pants, Sharon turned to look at Alden. "Close your eyes"
Closing his eyes, Alden shifted uncomfortably as his imagination presented vivid pictures to go with the sound of each zip and clasp coming undone. He almost sighed in relief when he felt the bed give as Sharon got back on. That is, until he felt her twine her bare legs around his and wrap bare arms around his chest.
Jerking, he raised the covers to see that she was only wearing a camisole top and a pair of boxers. You're only suppose to see the girl in clothes like that after sex... Eep! Bad word to mention... Shaking his head, he cleared his throat and couldn't help but ask "Are you wearing my boxers?"
Grinning, Sharon attempted to look innocent. "What? It's not like you wear them all..." Shaking his head again, he laid back down and stared up at the ceiling.
Lost in his own thoughts, Alden didn't even realize the music was still on until Sharon
started humming along to one song. Listening to the lyrics, he couldn't help but sing along
softly.
Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the light and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart
Realizing Sharon had stopped humming and was just listening to him, Alden attempted to cover his embarrassment by shifting to face Sharon in order to serenade her "If tomorrow never coooooomes... Will she knoooow hoooow much I loooooved her? Did I try in eeeevery way to shooow her eeeeevery day that she's my ooonly oooone..."
Smacking him lightly on the arm, Sharon shook her head. "You had to go and ruin it. You have such a great voice... I wish you'd sing in the band instead of making me do it alone..."
Shaking his head, he flashed her a grin. "You know I don't sing..." Rolling her eyes in exasperation, Sharon groaned. "You're such a stubborn... boy!"
Pretending to be deeply offended, Alden rolled over so that he was on top of her. Pinning her arms above her head, he looked into her laughing green eyes and pouted. "How dare you call me that! I'm a man! I can grunt and be sexiest with the rest of them! And look at all my rippling muscles..."
Snickering, he looked down, expecting her to be laughing too, only to see her staring up at him with a strange look in her eyes. In the silence, the song played softly in the background.
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel
Looking down at Sharon, he found himself concentrating on how beautiful she looked with just the moonlight in the background. Her bright green eyes were sparkling and her skin looked incredibly soft. Unable to resist, Alden reached down and gently traced a finger down the side of her jaw and cupped her cheek in his hand.
Staring into her eyes, he whispered more as a statement than as a question "You never do remember much the next morning when you get drunk, do you..."
Shaking her head, Sharon began nibbling on her lip "Know what else happens when I'm drunk?"
Raising an eyebrow at her, Alden shook his head and waited for the answer. "I do things I wouldn't be brave enough to do normally." And with that she reached up, threaded her fingers in his hair and kissed him.
Before he knew what he was doing, Alden wrapped his arms around Sharon and to charge, kissing her over and over. Shifting his focus from her lips, he began kissing down her neck. Mumbling against her collarbone, he paused to catch his breath. "What are we doing?"
Pulling away slightly, he looked down at Sharon's half closed eyes. "We shouldn't do this... Not when you're drunk..."
Bringing him back down, Sharon nuzzled her face against his neck. "I don't know what we are doing but I don't care. I like it." Nuzzling even more, she began kissing and sucking the side of his neck.
Closing his eyes and simply enjoying the moment, Alden kissed her deeply one last time before murmuring "We should stop." Ignoring him, Sharon attempted to kiss him again but Alden stopped her and repeated himself. "We need to stop."
Looking up at him, her eyes betraying how vulnerable she felt, Sharon asked, "Don't you want me to kiss you?" Laying back down, Alden wrapped his arms around her and pressed her head down on his chest. "Shh, that's not it. You're drunk, I'm atleast slightly intoxicated.." By you... "If we continue we might regret it tomorrow..." And I don't know if I could stop myself if this goes any further...
Smoothing her hair down, Alden looked down to see her already half asleep. "Love ya Aldie..." Smiling to himself, he whispered, "Love you too Shar..."
Well that's finally done... Sorry that it's all from Alden's point of view... You'd miss some of the plot if it was from a drunk's P.O.V.... Sharon will tell it in the next chapter... Oh, and don't drink and drive!! Hehe... Hope the chapter is up to par with the rest of them... Heh, there's even some action there... =P Oh and the song is "If Tomorrow Never Comes" by Ronan Keating... And thats the type of voice I imagine Alden to have... *melts*

can hold his alcohol really well.. =P
Operation: Awakening
Chapter 7
Alden's P.O.V.
Sitting in the kitchen, Alden stared down at his coffee cup, deep in thought. He knew he should just go find Sharon and apologize, but he'd spent almost 15 minutes looking for her before Nina had caught sight of him and he'd had to make a quick dash into the kitchen. For coffee, of course. Not like I'm hiding from a chick or anything...

Pure thoughts, Alden. Think pure thoughts. Forget

Growling at himself, Alden looked down and couldn't help smiling when he heard Sharon giggle then growl back at him. "Sharon... how much have you had to drink?"

Glancing at Sharon curled against Alden, half asleep, Adam smiled. "She looks it at least... But weren't you going to stay here tonight so you didn't run into any parents?"
Shrugging, Alden shook his head. "Apparently your mother is away on some business thing and Josh is at a friend's so we're gonna crash there."

Smoothing her hair down, Alden looked down to see her already half asleep. "Love ya Aldie..." Smiling to himself, he whispered, "Love you too Shar..."
Well that's finally done... Sorry that it's all from Alden's point of view... You'd miss some of the plot if it was from a drunk's P.O.V.... Sharon will tell it in the next chapter... Oh, and don't drink and drive!! Hehe... Hope the chapter is up to par with the rest of them... Heh, there's even some action there... =P Oh and the song is "If Tomorrow Never Comes" by Ronan Keating... And thats the type of voice I imagine Alden to have... *melts*
XxArEULoStxX: Heh, sorry it was a little longer than expected but I'm happy you love it!
Nikola: Once again... "Oops?" =) Sorry for the wait...
Sheryl: Lol, this is a story hun... since I wrote it I get to twist everyone to beyond recognizable... Besides, if he was still in the picture then Sharon and Alden wouldn't be as close... That's why I put Maria and Conner together so they aren't around as much either... See? I actually have reasons! =o
swim6516: Anticipation makes the story better? *ducks rotten fruit* I know... I know... the week from hell turned into the month from hell... =/
Felicity: See, saying as soon as you can leaves me too much room to slack off... But hope you like the new chapter...
jimmySLOTH: yay, still good... *cheeky grin*
holypotato: See, I wrote... just took me a month and a half...
bakuras-sea-monkey: *pokes charred remains of sea-monkey* Oppsies... Hopefully you're still alive enough to read the story and to marry your fiancee... and I think I get the writting-reading thing... *wrinkles her forehead in confusion* Maybe... =P
Loper: Wahoo! I feel so loved... That's what I like to see... the first one you read and you love it... =D
Nikki100: Hope you like the update...
Carla: *eyes water* You guys... *pokes everyone* She says I "capture the humor really well as well as the sadness anger and stress"... *bawls* Hehe... I'm glad you like my writting... =D
Katelyn: Yay, one of my most loyal reader persons... *pounces Katelyn and hugs her to death* Tehehe, lookie, I escaped your chains to my computer and because you tried to force my writting I drew out updating to the last possible minute... speaking of last possible minute... I have to go Christmas shopping today, don't I? Oops... Well, hope you like the new chapter... *hugs*
