Chapter 32
Ryan woke up fifteen minutes before the alarm went off contemplating life. He decided to annoy Alex rather by waking her up before the alarm sounded. He took a strand of hair and twirled it around her ears and nose repeatedly until she started stirring. She didn't even bother to open her eyes she tried swatting his hand away but it didn't work, he found it humorous actually, which made her even more annoyed until she decided she might as well quit fighting it. "I'm going to kill yooouuu, Ryan." Alex mumbled into the pillow. "No you won't because you'll miss me when I'm gone. " Ryan said rolling over to hug her from behind. "I love you, sweetheart." He said kissing her repeatedly all over her face, or the places he could reach of her face from this awkward angle. The alarm went off and Ryan turned around to silence it laying on his bed starring at Alex who also laid on her back. "Do we need to go to work right now?" Ryan asked twisting the wedding band on his finger. "We need to get back to work eventually, although I'd much rather stay I bed with you right now." Alex said smiling slyly. "I know right, but we need to get up now or we're gonna be late, and I have a feeling that you have to tell the girls what went down." Ryan said getting up heading to the bathroom. Because Alex knew he was right, they'd corner her eventually. After they were both done they headed to the door and drove to work.
They pulled into the parking lot and got out walking up the steps and there the three girls were standing, waiting for their fourth wheel to start talking about her honeymoon. "Ladies." Ryan greeted smiling as he walked past them and they all smiled greeting her back, while pulling Alex into a hug. "So, how was the honeymoon?" Shelby asked once Alex made her way hugging all three of them. "And what did the two of you do?" Nimah asked. "And what places did you see?" Natalie enquired as they all walked into the office. "Good morning to you guys too. I'm doing well thanks for asking and it's good to be back." Alex said as she walked into the building not saying anything about what they're pestering her about right now. She decided to end their suffering and told them in a nutshell what happened. From all the places they saw and the best part of the pizza delivery which she enjoyed the most. But just the fact that she and Ryan were together were enough for her. "So what's the best part of married life?" Natalie asked as they stood talking in the foyer. "The fact that I can call him my husband, and waking up next to him every morning and coming home to him after a long day." Alex said dreamingly. "You two are the sweetest." Niamh said smiling. "We should probably start working and get you up to date with what you've missed." Natalie said walking into the office they all work in.
"So, Maranda has a troubled teenage son. Sometimes I wonder if she and Liam has a thing going?" Shelby said thoughtful playing with her pen as she sat down on her chair. "Anyway, Caleb and Shelby had a fight and he had to sleep on the couch." Natalie said. "Oh and Natalie might be single, she still needs to decide if it's gonna happen or not. And ya, that's you've missed this week here at the FBI. Let's get back to work now." Nimah said and Natalie nodded to confirm all the information she just received.
She had no exciting cases to work on so by lunch time she was done filling out forms and filing them. She had to catch up on the paperwork at some time but she really wasn't up to it but it had to get done eventually. She wished they'd get an undercover case to work on or that Maranda would come get them and just give them some real FBI work other than this desk job she have right now. None of those things happened and she was being a "secretary" the whole day until it was time to go home. The drive home was quite just the radio playing in the background but they didn't mind it. "How did the day treat you on your first day back?" Ryan asked as he came to a stop at a red light. "You looked pretty busy when I walked passed the office." He said driving when the light changed. "Yeah, busy with tons of paperwork, which bored me to my core." Alex said as they pulled into the driveway. "It's not always gonna be drug busts and car chases you know, babe." Ryan said leaning over to kiss her quickly, before they got out.
"What's for dinner?" Ryan asked as he walked into the house. "I don't know Ryan Booth." Alex said as she looked through the cupboards deciding on pasta and a green salad, since that would probably be the fastest food to cook right now. "You need some help?" Ryan asked after he sorted through the mail. "Nah I'm good you can go shower so long." Alex said as she made her way across the kitchen to the stove to start dinner going. She left the pans simmering on the stove while she headed upstairs to get the washing from their trip to start a load of washing before they started eating. After they ate and did the dishes Ryan called her over to the couch where he lounged, cannel hopping looking for something interesting to watch. "Babe, come over here for a second." Ryan said patting a seat next to him on the couch. "Now you're making me nervous." Alex said as she walked over to take a seat next to him. "Relax it's nothing serious or maybe it is in some way." Ryan said setting the ground before he started to tell her what's on his mind. "I've been thinking about us buying a new house and get out of the apartment." Ryan said eyeing his wife carefully trying to figure out what she's thinking. "Are you sure we can do that so soon after all the expenses we've had this past four months with the wedding and all." Alex explained trying to get into his head for why he is so eager to buy a house right now. "Yeah, have enough saved up to buy one, ad since or moms were as generous as they were we've saved quite a bit of money. Plus, if we're thinking about starting a family the stairs here isn't the safest place for a baby or a toddler." He said hinting at the idea of starting a family soon. "Thinking about a family already? You gotta lower me into it gently." Alex answered smiling at him but not dismissing the idea of the baby or the house hunting.
"I'm serious, Alex." Ryan whispered. "I know, me too and I'm not dismissing any of those ideas, I'm game for both." She said winking at him. Ryan got up to get his laptop and show her the places he's bookmarked. "I have a few houses I've started looking at on a property website that's for sale." Ryan said as he showed her some of it. They've found a few they liked and browsed for some more before they've decided on the ones they will go see in a few days.
