Chapter 5

Alex parked her car about a block away from Bobby's apartment and already, she noticed, there were a lot of children

trick-or-treating. She grabbed her wig and put it on before she got out of the car. Alex greeted to Bobby's doorman before hopping into the elevator. She noticed that there were 7 children in the elevator when she stepped in but, another 3 had joined them by the time she reached Bobby's floor. When she reached the door she saw that there were 2 kids dressed as Pooh Bear and Tigger collecting candy. While Bobby was handing out the candy Alex was able to observe what she could see of Bobby's outfit.

'Oh my god, with those buttons undone he looks pretty hot' she thought as he shifted his position slightly and his chest became visible to her. Alex noticed that the kids were leaving so she headed towards Bobby's door.

"Where's mine?" Alex asked just as he was about to close the door

"Alex?" 'Damn, she looks even hotter than she normally does'

"Yep, who did you think I was?"

"My neighbour. She had a similar costume on earlier when I gave her daughter candy"

"Did your neighbour want some candy as well?" Alex teased

"Uh...no. you look great though. You are the Bride of Frankenstein, right?" Bobby asked as she walked into his apartment.

"Yep, got it in one although seeing your neighbour gave you an unfair advantage"

"Oh" Bobby replied, unsure whether or not Alex was serious or not.

"Bobby, I'm kidding. Let me have a look at your costume"

"Come on in, I need your help"

"With what?" Alex inquired

"You'll see"

Alex walked in and Bobby guided her to the bathroom, when she saw the make-up she burst out laughing.

"Jeez I never thought I would see something trivial that the great Bobby Goren could not do" she commented before exploding into another fit of laughter.

"Alex can you stop laughing for a minute and help me or we will be really late for the party"

"Ok, ok" Alex replied through her laughter. She managed to get herself under control long enough to put Bobby's make-up on without any major screw up's.

"That costume looks better with the make-up on. By the way did the kids recognize that you were Dracula before I put the make-up on?"

"Actually they were able to, I think the teeth were a dead give away" Bobby replied before taking the teeth out to show Alex.

"Haven't you got anything better to do than to show me your false teeth?

"Yes actually, I have a party to attend with the bride of Frankenstein at 7:30 and it is currently 7:05"

"You're right, we better go"

Bobby followed Alex out the door and made sure it was locked before they headed towards the elevator. They exited the building and as they approached Alex's car Bobby asked

"Alex?"

"Yeah?"

"You don't plan on wearing the wig while driving are you?"
