Chapter 6: First Night Back in Dallas

Walker and Alex finally made it back to Dallas around noon. They had taken their time getting back to Dallas, making sure to stop every now and then and enjoy the view around them. They both agreed that it was one of the most beautiful things they had ever seen.

"But you're still more beautiful." Walker had whispered into Alex's ear and then leaned in to kiss her.

"Aww…you're so sweet." Alex whispered back and returned the kiss.

"I try."

But that had been hours ago. And now Walker and Alex were headed back to Dallas. And the first thing on their lists of things to do (after going home and unpacking) was to tell Trivette and CD that they were engaged.

Walker and Alex arrived at CD's after they went home and unpacked their bags. They couldn't wait to see the looks on their friends faces when they finally told them. They were sure they'd be shocked or at the very least a little surprised that Walker had finally popped the question.

So Walker and Alex finally walked into CD's to find Trivette and CD sitting at the bar playing chess.

"Who's winning?" Alex asked as she took a sit next to Trivette and then Walker sat down next to her.

"Well Jimmy is for the moment honey but don't you worry, I will catch up any moment now." CD told Alex as he tried to think about his next move.

The room was quite for several moments before CD spoke again.

"So where'd you guys disappear to last night? I didn't see you guys." CD told them as he waited for Trivette to make a move.

"Well I wanted to spend some time with my girl after she had been away for so long." Walker told them as Trivette made his move. He put his arm around Alex and pulled her closer.

"Have fun?" Trivette asked without even thinking about what he was saying.

"As a matter of fact, we had a blast." Alex told them as CD moved his chess piece.

"That's great." CD told them in a daze as he sat trying to figure out if he had made the right move or not, but he soon gave up trying to figure it out.

"And that's not the best news." Alex added, thinking that they were never going to figure out that Walker and her had gotten engaged because they were a little to into their chess game.

"And just what is the best news darlin'?" CD asked as he waited for Trivette to once again make a move.

"We got engaged." Alex told them as Walker pulled her closer once again.

Trivette and CD both looked up and forgot about their chess game. Their mouths dropped wide open. They couldn't believe what they were hearing. After 5 years Walker had finally asked Alex to marry him.

The room stayed silent for several more minutes before Walker broke the silence.

"Are you guys okay?" Walker asked them after they still had failed to say anything.

"Yeah I just can't believe that you finally asked her that's all." Trivette said.

"What Jimmy meant to say was congratulations. Congratulations." CD told them and then walked over and gave Alex a hug.

"Yeah congrats." Trivette finally got out.

Walker and Alex stayed and talked to Trivette and CD for a while before finally leaving, still wanting to spend as much time together as possible after being away for so long. They were truly starting to enjoy there time together.

Walker and Alex went dancing again that night. Walker took Alex home around midnight and once again Alex found a list waiting for her when she got there. She was amazed at how Walker always managed to slip them into different places and never get caught. Oh well, she just laughed about it.

Alex started to read Walker's latest list.
