ALEX
Alex and Bosco were walking down the street as they approached her apartment. I looked up at my apartment and saw a light on. I quickly counted the floors up and turned to Bosco.
"Hey, did I leave a light on this morning?" Alex asked
"No, why?"
"cos there's a light on in my apartment"
"when we get up there say behind me, okay"
"i don't think i can do much with this anyway" i said, indicating her arm in the blue sling.
"good point" Bosco said with a smirk
they had made it up the stairs and Bosco looked at the door.
"burglars don't usually shut and lock doors" Bosco said as he tried the door handle.
i watched Bosco turn the key in the door and slowly pushed it open. behind Bosco i could see a tall man with dark brown hair. i could see Bosco pull his gun out and i quickly realised who it was in my apartment. i pushed Bosco aside as i rushed into the apartment "Adam!" i yelled as i rushed in.
Adam turned round, opened his arms and enveloped me in a hug.
"Alex do you normally treat all burglars like this?" Bosco asked me.
"No, Bosco, this is my brother Adam." i told him
"oh, sorry hi Adam, nice to meet you" Bosco said as he stepped forward and shook Adams hand. i was surprised at how polite he was, it was unnatural. Bosco was usually rude and impolite.
"Oh, by the way Adam this is Bosco my boyfriend and Bosco this is my brother Adam."
i suddenly said.
"Alex, what happened to you?" Adam asked me.
what was he talking about, he must have seen the blank image on my face cos he indicated to my arm in the sling. "Oh, the floor in a building gave way today, i dislocated my arm and i have a concussion and the big ugly ass bruise on my face as you may have noticed" i quickly told him hoping that if i said it faster it would seen like less of a big deal.
"this is why i hate that you followed in dads footsteps. your going get hurt real bad one of these days" Adam told me as he put his arm gently around me.
" i know but i do love it. but the ironery was that the building that was on fire was where Bosco lived. so he crashing here tonight and until he can find a place. but you can crash on the couch tonight if you want or are you heading out to moms?" i asked
" i'm thinking of heading out to moms for the night so but i think i'll call her now to see if she's home" Adam decided out loud.
"phones on the counter, moms on speed dial 2" i told him
"thanks lex" Adam said as he walked past me and towards the phone.
"that's you gay brother from Houston?" Bosco asked me with a strange look
"yeah, what were you expecting. did you think he'd 2 turn up wearing drag or something?" i asked, a little shocked.
"well i have never meet a girlfriends gay brother" Bosco simply said.
i wanted to laugh, his comment was so simple but it was so true.
ADAM
I had gotten a taxi from the airport in hope of meeting up with Alex and going out to a bar or something, but i could tell that she had other plans in mind. i'm worried about her, she tried to pass todays accident off as though it was nothing. i really wish that our father had told her that he was proud of her. if he had she might act better instead of the nonsense he drummed into us when we were growing up. i begin to wonder if i will get a phone call one day telling me that she died a very brave firefighter. I hope that day will never come. i know that Alex feels like dad was never proud of her because she knows that dad told me that he was proud of me.
i rung my mom and i talked to here and i told her that i would come and stay with her tonight.
she asked why i wanted to stay with her and not with Alex and i simply said Alex has a boyfriend crashing in the couch cos his place burned down, i was lying but i knew that Alex would get the 3rd degree on her private life.
i rung a cab after i talked to mom. i walked over and shook Bosco hand and gave Alex a kiss on the cheek. and went down to the street to wait for the cab.
BOSCO
i was glad that Adam had left, i didn't have anything against him i just wanted to be alone with Alex.
as soon as the door shut i pulled Alex in close and i kissed her passionately and i ran my hands up and down her back. i inhaled deeply and i realised that she still smelled of smoke from the fire today.
"you smell of the fire from today" i told her quietly
" i think i better go and have a shower, i think you need one too. wanna join me?" she said.
i simply answered by pulling off my t-shirt and followed behind her in the direction of the shower.
ALEX
the next day i woke up with a smile on my face, i felt Bosco beside me with his arm gently wrapped around my waste. i loved waking up like this, knowing that i wasn't alone.
i rolled over a placed a soft kiss on his lips. he began to wake up and i heard him say that it would take a lot more than that to wake him up, i giggled. "tough luck Bosco, i gotta go so that's all you can get."
"where are you going?" Bosco asked.
"we are going to buy you some new clothes" i informed him
"why, i have some here"
"you have like a t-shirt and a pair of boxers. i think you need more than that."
"your right, i'm just glad i left my spare uniform at the dry cleaners." Bosco told me
"what time does your shift start today?"
"i have to be there at 2.30"
"well how about we have a look for some more clothes for you then i'll go visit Adam while you work."
"what's the time now?"
"12 o'clock" i told him
"we really should get up" i told him
"i'll let you get up after"
"after what?" i asked, knowing the answer
"after this" Bosco said as he pulled me in close and began to kiss me with so much passion.
FAITH
i would have never picked those two, i stood in the locker room and watched Bosco kiss Alex. he didn't look like his apartment burned down yesterday, in fact he looked as though he had just won the lottery. i really wanted to go and hassel them but i could see that the firefighters had taken it upon themselves to do so.
JIMMY
I had seen Alex and Bosco walk up the street and i could tell that this was to much of a good opportunity to let it pass by. i grabbed the guys and we headed down the stairs to hassel them.
"Hey Alex. How are you?" i asked
"I'm fine Jimmy and theres no point in trying to hassel us" she told me.
"why would we do anything like that?" i said with a fake look of astoundment.
"sorry guys but you will have to bother alex, i gotta go to work" bosco said as he leaned in and kissed alex. i'm pretty sure that the guys were just as suprised as i were. we were standing there for about a minute until i decided to yell" hey lombardo, i think these two need a crow bar".
bosco finally pulled away from alex and headed in.
"see you guys" alex said as she slowly walked down the street.
i don't think the rest of the guys had expected that! but i noticed that she looked just as bad as yesterday, her arm was still in the blue sling but her bruse had lightened up a bit.
i turned around and headed back into the building and the rest of the guys followed behind me.
ALEX
i caught the subway up towards new jersery and caught a cab across the bridge and the rest of the way. I walked up the steps and i could see my mom and adam sitting on the pourch.
"Hey mom, hey adam" i called out.
adam smiled and i saw moms expression change when she saw my face and arm.
"Alex, swettie, what happened to you?" she asked with concerne in her voice.
"i'm fine mom, the floor in a building gave way but i'll be fine"
"are you sure your alright?" she asked as she pulled me in for a tight hug.
"Yeah mom, i'm fine".
"i really wished that you would be more careful"
"mom, it's not like i walk into a building when i know a floor is going to give way. the floor gave way on my way out, it was right in front of the door. i'll be fine"
Alex and Bosco were walking down the street as they approached her apartment. I looked up at my apartment and saw a light on. I quickly counted the floors up and turned to Bosco.
"Hey, did I leave a light on this morning?" Alex asked
