Chapter 22 Interference

…

'I do know how to please a woman', Alex all of a sudden said again, still watching the stars. 'And ...', Stevie whispered. He looked aside, seeing her watching him. The moonlight was reflecting in her eyes and she smiled softly at him while he noticed it. His hand moved to her face, softly caressing it with his thumb. While they gazed at each other Alex moved closer.

His lips touched hers, it was soft and gentle. That's how it started, but both got carried away, making the kiss more passionate and deeper. Alex had bended over wanting to feel her body, touch her skin, but the sleeping bag was covering it, so his hand moved to the zipper, still kissing her passionately. He felt the zipper in his fingers, but it didn't seemed to wanna work along. 'A moment', he whispered in her ear when he had move away from her mouth. He searched for the zipper again. It made Stevie laugh a bit, cause she could see him struggle with it. 'I thought you were a skilled man with zips'. 'Not with these things', he mumbled.

Suddenly Stevie pushed Alex away, which resulted in a totally surprised and questioning look of Alex. Was he doing something wrong? Stevie saw someone coming near; a flashlight was searching the ground. 'I think it's Kate', she whispered. 'Wah?', Alex said when he turned around to see the flashlight shine on his sleeping bag.

'Hey', Kate said, 'are you guys still awake?' 'Something like that', Alex replied a bit annoyed. Stevie gave him a stare. 'Yeah we are'. 'How's the cow?' Kate looked at the animal. Cow? Alex thought for a moment. Stevie was better in remembering why she was here in the first place. 'Oh she's fine. I don't think there's going to happen any thing tonight'. 'Not as long Kate's here', Alex softly mumbled, and not much later he got his expected poke from Stevie. Kate turned around to face her friends and sat down. 'Hey you have wine!' Alex nodded and rolled with his eyes. 'Can I have some?' 'Uhm yeah', Stevie said. Alex stared at her: 'why did you have to say that. Before you know it we're stuck with her for the rest of the night'. But Stevie would feel bad not being nice to her friend.

Kate was talking about the cow, the things Dave's told her, and about the fact she couldn't sleep. She only got replies from Stevie; Alex was mostly staring to the sky, waiting on the moment she would leave. Kate looked at him noticing it. 'Alex, if you want to go home and just sleep, go ahead, I can stay with Stevie. I don't mind'. It made Stevie laugh, and she had a hard time suppressing it. Poor Alex.

'No no, I don't mind at all, and I'm already here. We don't want to keep you awake though. I bet your probably have tons of work to do in the morning'. At least he could give it a try to make her leave and gladly he got back up from Stevie. 'Yeah Kate, that's probably a good idea. You have to start pretty early tomorrow'. Kate nodded. They were right. 'Ok, but if you need me, just say so'. 'Oh I'm sure we don't need you', Alex said. He didn't wanted to be hard on her, but her bad timing had made him. 'Ok, I'm going then', Kate stood up, 'good night'.

Stevie and Alex watched her leave, and when she was far enough Stevie poked Alex again. 'Auw, what's that for?' 'She meant it good, you know'. 'I know, it's just ...' '... the bad timing'. 'Yes'. It made them both laugh.

'So can I move closer again without you pushing me away', Alex asked, showing his begging eyes. Stevie smiled. There was no way she could resist him. 'Yes you can'. 'Ok, where were we?' Alex said when he moved closer again. 'Oh yeah the damn zipper ...' 'Wait', Stevie opened her sleeping bag herself. 'You're spoiling all the fun', Alex said smirking and kissed her cheek.
