Goren turned to Eames, she approached him, raising her face to his, her large hazel eyes looking at him adoringly.
He lowered his face to hers, bringing his lips to hers, brushing them with infinite softness.
Goren wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her gently against him.
Eames laid his head against her chest, listening to her heartbeat.
He rested his chin on her little blonde head.
- What will become of us...
His heart tightened.
Goren didn't want to part with Eames.
She was the most important person in his life.
Alex was his life, his oxygen, his sunshine.
Without her, he was nothing.
Eames looked up, his big hazel eyes filled with tears.
They had played a game, and they had burned their wings.
Alex didn't want to be alone.
She wanted Goren to continue his visits every night.
What was she going to do without him...
Especially in this place.
She hated this place, and Bobby was the reason she was able to keep going.
To him, and his hugs.
- Bobby...
At the intonation of Eames' voice, the expression on his face, the tears that flowed from his big hazel eyes, and spilled down his cheeks, Goren's heart broke into a thousand pieces.
He could not bear to see Alex unhappy.
With gentleness, he brought his hand to her eyes, wiping the tears from his fingers.
- Don't worry. He stopped, and took a deep breath. I...
Eames put his finger to his lips, silencing him, and shook his head in denial.
She didn't want to hear what he was going to say, or she would burst into tears, and there would be no stopping her.
Alex let her fingers caress Bobby's lips, looked at them longingly, biting her lip.
Damn it...
Eames couldn't have been clearer.
She wanted sex.
But they couldn't...
Deakins.
- Bobby... She blushed violently. I... She took a deep breath, and let go. I love you.
At this admission, Goren opened his brown eyes wide.
Had he heard her right...
Had she really just said those words, the ones that sealed your fate.
I love you...
Her two words, so simple, and so expressive, kept running through his head.
It could not be possible...
Eames could not get attached to a man like him.
He plunged his brown gaze, into her big hazel eyes, trying to read if it was true.
And especially that he had not dreamed such words.
And yet...
In Alex's big hazel eyes, shone a sincere love.
So, she really loved him.
He had not dreamed those two words.
Goren still couldn't believe it...
It was too good to be true.
A woman like Eames, loving a man like him...
With delicacy, he took her face between his hands, brought his face closer to hers, and took possession of her lips with infinite gentleness.
He let his fingers wander along the body of Alex.
With only one idea in head, to make him love.
But suddenly Deakins appeared in his head, and he stopped everything, moving away from her lips with regret.
He couldn't make love to Alex...
Not now.
Damn it...
He'd forgotten that Deakins was waiting for him.
Already he had been set on fire with Eames, he knew the return would be torture.
He would have to suffer Deakins' wrath, and try to keep his cool.
- I'll try to come... He took Alex's hand in his, intertwined his fingers with hers. Against all odds.
Reluctantly, he let go of Alex's hand, and headed for the bedroom door.
Bobby's heart sank.
The moment Eames told him he loved him.
He couldn't even prove to him that it was mutual.
Alex didn't take his eyes off him, looking sad.
