Chapter 3: One Little Visit Isn't Enough
Alex's next week was anything but fun. She didn't have one meeting to go to or even two or three. But at least four a day on some days.
Alex still couldn't figure out why her boss had sent her up here. What in the world would this help her with? Alex thought he probably should have sent someone else up here, but as she pulled on her jacket and started to head out into the stormy weather, an envelope on the floor caught her eye. Alex picked it up and realized it was another 'List of Ten Things' from Walker. But how had it ended up down there and unopened? As Alex read if, her question was answered.

10) IF SHE OPENS THE DOOR SHE'LL FIND ME
Alex opened the door and sure enough there was Walker. Standing there with that boyish look on this face and looking as handsome and wonderful as ever. Alex jumped right into his arms and kissed him time and time again. Three weeks really was too long for them to be apart. How they had ever made it the past three weeks was a complete mystery to her, but Alex was now content in her Cowboy's arms.
After they finished kissing each other, Walker sat Alex back down on her feet. They headed back inside her hotel room and at that moment Alex completely forgot about the meeting that she had been headed to. Walker was here and she was going to enjoy her time with her because her guess was that he would soon be leaving.
"When did you get here?" Alex finally asked him as he sat down on the couch and she sat in his lap.
"A couple hours ago." Walker told her as he kissed her neck. It had been way too long since he had been this close to her and he was going to enjoy it.
"Why didn't you call me? I would have come and got you." Alex told him, she didn't understand why he wouldn't call and let her pick him up.
"Because I wanted to surprise you. I knew you had a bunch of meetings to go to and I wanted you to be really surprised when I saw you." Walker told her, hoping she wouldn't be mad at him.
"Oh well okay." Alex gave in, she couldn't be mad when he had traveled all the way to New York to see her. "How long can you stay?"
"Until morning. Then I have to get back for the bust." Walker told her and he could see the look in her eyes, telling him to stay longer even though she knew he couldn't.
"Then lets go out tonight and do something fun."
"But it's going to ran soon."
"I don't care, as long as I'm with you."
And with that Walker and Alex were headed out the door.
----------------------------
They went to eat at a local restaurant that Alex had found when she went out shopping last week. They ate and enjoyed the night and then started dancing. They danced until the restaurant closed.
Walker and Alex then headed outside, hand in hand, and went to the park. It was beautiful at night. They held hands and kissed under the moonlight.
Walker took off his coat and wrapped it around Alex's shoulders.
"Thanks." Alex told him as he then put his arm around her.
"Anytime. Anything I can do for you." Walker told her and he meant every word.
"You already did something for me. You came to visit me in New York. I honestly didn't' think I would make it up here the full month without seeing you. And then you showed up tonight and I couldn't be happier." Alex told him and then gave him a kiss.
"Well, I couldn't have made it without you either. I missed you so much. Now come on, lets go before it started to rain." Walker told her.
Just then it did indeed start to rain. Walker pulled Alex closer to him as the rain really started to come down hard. He looked down at her face and saw the rain drops falling down them. He bent down and started to kiss each rain drop one by one as they fell down her face.
As Walker did this, Alex smiled at him. She loved him so much and it was times like this that she remembered just how much she truly did love him.
Walker then decided to pick Alex up and carry her to the waiting taxi. Alex giggled most of the way. She loved it when Walker picked her up.
-----------------------------
The next morning Walker had to head back to go on the bust. He really didn't want to leave Alex and Alex didn't want him to leave either.
As Alex walked Walker downstairs, he once again took her in his arms.
"One little visit isn't enough." Alex told him as she stared into his eyes.
"I know. But next week we'll both be back in Dallas and we'll spend as much time together as you want." Walker promised her. He knew that she wasn't any happier about him leaving then he was about leaving.
"You mean as long as work doesn't get in the way." Alex corrected him. As much as she would love to believe that Walker would just drop everything, after years of knowing him she knew this would never happen. There was no way the famous Texas Ranger Cordell John Walker would just drop everything, even if it was just to spend time or have dinner with her.
"Not anymore. These last three weeks have made me realize how much I love you and once our lives get back to normal, I don't want to spend this much time away from you ever again. In fact, I don't want to spend any time away from you; I just don't think our bosses would be too happy about that." Walker told her and was glad that she started smiling.
Walker bent down and gave Alex a kiss.
"I've got to go now. I love you." Walker said and he slipped something into her hand.
"I love you too."
"See you in a week."
"Okay, bye."
And with one final kiss Walker was gone. Alex looked down at what he had put in her hand. She opened it right away; she had a good guess of what it was.
