CHAPTER FIVE: B/A ONLY

You can't teach an old dog new tricks … or can you?

A new step in Bobby and Alex's relationship, is just down the hall. It's a big step, one that Bobby doesn't want to take lightly. He is standing there frozen in his tracks, Eames is standing right at the doorway to his bedroom waiting. Rin looks up at his very large master, standing, staring, thinking, not wanting to mess things up between he and Eames. Rin doesn't understand, after all, he is a dog. He's fed up with the big guy … he runs past Eames, leaps on the bed, lies on the bed … on his back … and shows her the goods. He's wagging his tail! Alex looks at Rin then back at Bobby then back at Rin.

"Looks like your dog wants me." I'm showing him what to do!

Bobby walks slowly towards Eames, he gives Rin the evil eye. Okay, okay … I'll go lick myself some place else. Rin jumps off the bed. Bobby stops at the doorframe and puts his hands up along the top of the frame of the door.

"I want you more than I can say Alex but what I don't want is for this to be a mistake. I've screwed up enough with us lately, you're too important to me. I want you in my life for good, If we do this and I screw this up." He stops and drops his head, he can't bare to finish his thought. She lays a hand on his face and places a sweet kiss on his lips.

"I think when two people love each other, screwing things up is a two way street and we can pretty much work through anything after eight years of being partners. I love you Bobby, this is what I want, I want us … I can wait if you're not ready."

OH MY DOG! Is my Big Guy crazy? HUMP HER LEG NOW!

"What do you think I'm crazy Eames? Bobby pushes her through the door and backs her right up to the bed until the back of her knees hit the foot board and she tumbles over the end of his bed. He bends at the waste and looks right into her very wide open shocked eyes. I'm ready, are you?"

"What do you think? Eames squirms her way up to the head of the bed undressing all the way. His eyes are now wide open but no shock, just excitement. He starts to undress and starts to crawl his way up the bed. Great technique. Ah, Bobby." Eames points at a staring Rin.

Bobby gets off the bed, and points to the living room. Rin puts his tail between his legs and high tails it out of the bedroom. Bobby slams the door. I get it, you're finally gonna get it … woof.

As Bobby is turning back to the bed to say "where was I," he sees a sleeping naked Eames lying on his bed. Bobby sighs and then smiles. He lifts her up and places her under the blankets and crawls under himself. As he curls himself around Eames, he thinks about the changes that have taken place in his life since his brother's death. He smiled again … it's all good he thought, then he felt guilty but then he thought life was too short to feel guilty, so he woke Eames up.

So he woke Eames up ... to play tiddlywinks of course! Thanks for reading, reviews would be greatly appreciated!
