Chapter 25 So right

It was Sunday evening and Stevie had called Alex a few hours ago if he wanted to come over. Kate and Jodi had a girls farewell night at the quarters cause Jodi would move into the cottage. Stevie looked forward spending a whole evening with Alex, just the two of them and she had done her best to look as good as possible. A blue top and jeans skirt would do.

Long day and I'm ready
I'm waiting for your call

Stevie was just hanging around in the kitchen when Alex showed up. She immediately noticed his short haircut and his new jeans. Well she couldn't remember seeing him wear Levi's before, so she figured it was new. 'Hey Steves', Alex said entering the kitchen, 'you look good'. 'Thank you', Stevie smirked and Alex gave her a quick kiss. 'What are yah staring at?' He asked. Her fingers went through his hair as she looked at it. 'Nice haircut'. 'Thanks, just been in town yesterday'. Than she looked down. 'Jeans. New?' She said amused. Alex nodded quickly. He didn't really wanted to show the fact he wanted to impress her, but the look on her face told him she knew it and she enjoyed it.

'You look hot', she finally concluded. 'Well that makes two'. Alex smirked and he put his arms around her, looking deep in her eyes. 'So Jodi and Kate aren't around?' Stevie shook her head, smiling. 'Good!' He moved even closer and started to kiss her. It was not much later that they had moved towards the kitchen table. Stevie felt her body hitting it. It made them both quit the kiss for a sec. Alex pulled her up and placed her on the table. They shared a sheepish grin just before they started to kiss again. It got more and more passionate, and Stevie could feel his hands right through her top. It all gave her an amazing feeling inside. But it was not much later when they both felt the need to end the kiss. Cause this was going way too fast, although neither did bother it that much.

Stevie caressed his face. 'Alex, I still have to show you something.' He returned an inquisitive stare. 'You know, my room?' 'Ow that, you've been working on that hey'. 'Yes, I finished it this afternoon.' Although Stevie didn't really knew if it was the right thing to do, to lead Alex to her bedroom immediately, she couldn't resist showing it. Alex lifted her up to place her on the floor again. 'Come', and she took his hand leading him to the hallway and the stairs.

Alex couldn't resist this thought he had when they walked upstairs. 'I love this view, we should walk these stairs more often'. Stevie looked behind her and saw his grinning face. Normally she would have given him a stare or even a poke, but this time it just made her smile.

Not much later they stood before the closed bedroom door. 'Ok, tell me honestly what you think'. She opened it so Alex could go first. He looked around and was impressed. 'Wow, Steves another great job decorating a room.' Stevie had a huge smile on her face when he said it. He walked a bit, seeing Rodeo attributes, pictures of Rose. It was definitely Stevie's room. The photo of Tess and Nick was placed on her night table. He looked at it, than he noticed a picture of Stevie and Claire, just leaning against the wall behind the night table. It hadn't a photo frame. He picked it up and stared at it.

Stevie moved closer from behind seeing him look at it, wondering what his reaction would be. 'Geesh, you guys look so young here'. Stevie nodded. 'I think it's been taken when we were 18, 19.' He smiled at her, looking up from the picture. 'You two were something. You did the weirdest things back than.' 'Yeah I know'. 'You made Claire show her crazy side, I loved that'. The way he said it made Stevie realize there was something different about the way he said her name. His voice lacked sadness, it sounded like a joyful memory. He looked at her with a smile. Than he looked back at the picture and whispered, 'my two favorite women'. 'And Charlotte?' 'She's my favorite girl', he said smiling at her. He then looked at a picture of him, Charlotte, Tess and Stevie, putting the photo back were it belonged.

'You really got talent for this'. The way he looked at her made her wanna hug him, and in one move she had wrapped her arms around him. He pulled her in a strong embrace. 'Where's that for?' He asked. 'Cause I love you'. It just had left her mouth without thinking of it and a second later she realized what she just said. And she hoped with her whole heart it hadn't scared him, cause those were big words. She didn't even have the guts to look up at him. But the words didn't have a bad effect on Alex, it was the opposite. He just realized how perfect this evening was. 'I love you too', he said and kissed her hair. Stevie couldn't believe what just happened. Her mind probably would tell her this was all way too fast, but her heart skipped a beat and knew it felt so right.

Alex was pleasantly surprised with the way he felt. Totally at peace with her at his side. He saw her looking up at him. Those beautiful eyes and smile. It was all he needed. He brushed a red curl of her hair away, bending down to give her a tender kiss. Holding her like this made him long for her badly.

Stevie kissed him back and the kiss got deeper and more passionate. Not much later he lay her down on the bed. They shared an approved look, before they continued their journey. It was a tender, but deep kiss. Something delicate, and she could feel his fingers move under her top, touching her naked skin. His shirt got pulled out of his jeans. Their shoes hit the floor; leaving them there so they moved up on the bed even more.

'Wait', Alex said. She looked at him, when his arm reached for the night table. He took the photo of his brother and sister-in-law, and lay it down. 'We don't need them watching us', he smirked for a moment. Stevie looked at him, it was intense, moving through his hair with her fingers. Were they really going to continue this?

'Cause I've made up my mind
My heart aches with a hunger
and I want you to be mine

Alex' eyes moved lower to her neck, and he softly started to kiss it. Her hands moved to his shirt to loosen it. Alex pulled it off and not much later Stevie raised her body to get rid of her top. Their bodies touched and if there ever was any doubt it had all slipped away ...

For one night, it was so right
That I give you
My heart, my love, my heart
Just for one night
My body, my soul
Just for one night
My love, I loved
For one night

... Stevie's hand was softly caressing his chest and she kissed it, feeling his heart beating fast. She sighed from appeasement and strain. It was just he and she; nothing on this whole planet had counted. The intensity was still rushing through her body. Alex' face was facing the night table, his arm was holding her. It had been perfect, it was perfect.

That picture had caught his eye. Stevie saw it and snuggled up to him. He could feel her body close to his and it made him turn his face slightly, not willing to look at her straight away, but she noticed immediately why. Cause she could already see a glimpse of his teary eyes. She rose up and kissed his cheek, looking at him. 'It's ok', she said softly, her fingers were lingering along his face and his arms held her. 'I know', he uttered giving her an intense stare, knowing that the tears that had taken over his eyes, were tears of joy.
