AJ stayed up and watch Alexis sleep for close to three hours before he decided to wake her up.
He rubbed his hand on her arm and smiled as she wrapped an arm around his abdomen and drifted off into a deeper sleep. He didn't want to wake her up, she looked gorgeous when she slept.
"Lexi baby," AJ said running his fingers through her hair. "You gotta wake up."
Her eyes slowly opened. She wasn't ready to be woken yet. She balled her hand up into a fist, rested it on AJ's chest and closed her eyes again.
AJ caressed her bare back and shoulder.
"Come on," he said laughing. "You can do it."
Alexis opened her eyes, pushed herself up, moved more onto AJ, rested her head on his other shoulder and closed her eyes again.
"How many different ways can you use me as a pillow?" AJ asked her.
Alexis shrugged. "You're comfy."
AJ laughed as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I have to get you back soon," AJ said to her. "You can sleep for as long as you want there."
"No," Alexis said and kissed AJ's neck. "I wanna stay with you."
"Lexi, I would love to spend the entire day laying with you in this bed but I can't," AJ said. "Especially if you're naked."
Alexis smiled. "You're so dirty."
"You're the one that's naked," AJ replied.
"So are you," Alexis answered.
"And how would you know this?"
"Because I can feel you on my leg right now," Alexis said kissing him.
"Oh well," AJ said. "It's more comfortable this way."
Alexis laughed and wrapped one of the blankets around herself. "Where'd my clothes get to?" She asked looking around the room.
"No idea," AJ said stretching out. "Check the floor."
Alexis bent over the bed and picked up her clothes.
"Stop staring at my ass Styles," Alexis said when she got back up.
"Can't help it," AJ said as she walked into the bathroom.
When Alexis was in the bathroom AJ took the opportunity to get dressed and find his keys. Soon after Alexis was ready to go.

"I really don't wanna go back into that house," Alexis said looking behind her.
"You don't have to yet," AJ said turning her head towards his and kissing her.
Alexis responded with a fiery kiss. They continued to kiss for another ten minutes. When Alexis pulled away she saw a car speed past.
"Wasn't that Jeff?" Alexis asked.
"You're just being paranoid," AJ said kissing her again. "But you probably should get going.
"Yeah," Alexis said getting out of the car. "Love me?"
"Uncontrollably," AJ replied. "I'll see you at the arena later."
"For sure," Alexis said and walked back towards the house.

AJ and Alexis spent the rest of the week seeing only each other.

Saturday morning Alexis ran into Laura's bedroom and jumped onto the bed. Laura didn't seem to be disturbed so Alexis began bouncing on the bed. Laura's eyes opened wide and before Alexis could speak Laura shoved her off of the bed and onto the floor with a thud. Alexis was going to yell at Laura but by the time she got herself together Laura was screaming in the bathroom.
Alexis got up just as Sarah ran up the stairs and into the bathroom to tend to her daughter.

Later on that same evening Alexis knocked gently on the door. "How are ya feeling?"
Laura shrugged.
"So I guess you're not going out this evening," Alexis said walking up to the bed.
Laura shook her head no and then cleared her throat. "You can use the 'secret' window though."
Alexis didn't say anything. She sat down on the floor beside the bed and waited until Laura fell asleep. Then she went to her room, got dressed, climbed out the window and met AJ.

At four o'clock that morning Sarah walked up the stairs. She felt that it was her duty to make sure that her daughter had everything that she needed.
Once upstairs Sarah took one last look around. She was leaving the room when she felt a cool breeze. She looked around the room and saw that the window was open a crack.
"We can't have this," Sarah said and gently closed the window.

"I'll see you tonight," Alexis laughed.
"You'd better," AJ said and kissed her again.
"You're way too overly affectionate," Alexis said brushing her hair back.
"I'm not humping your leg yet," AJ replied.
"That's about the only thing," Alexis laughed. "See ya."
AJ let go of her hand and watched her leave the car.
"Bye," she said again and watched him drive away.
Alexis skipped to the house, climbed the lattice, and pulled on the window. She looked down. The window was closed. Alexis began to panic. She peered into the window but Laura was not in her bed. After considering her options Alexis reluctantly climbed down the lattice and walked around to the front of the house. When Alexis tried the door it opened. She tried to quietly sneak into the house. She made it halfway up the stairs when she heard Jeff call her name.
Alexis turned around and saw Jeff and Jerry standing in the doorway.
"Hi," Alexis said giving a wave.
"You're just in time for breakfast," Jeff said taking her hand.
"Then I should probably go and wash my face," Alexis said turning around.
"No no," Jeff said laughing. "You're beautiful the way that you are."
Alright," Alexis said walking with the two men back into the dining area. "Where's Laura?"
"Watching television in the den," Jerry replied. "She's feeling about the same as yesterday."
"That sucks," Alexis said looking around.
"So how's school going for you Lexi?" Jeff asked.
"School's good," Alexis replied.
"And how's AJ?"
Alexis froze.
