I don't own any of the characters of Inception other than my own and am purely doing this for fun! Just to putting that out there, Now on with the story! :)

Chapter 11

Morning has finally come and as the light slipped through the curtains of their room, Alex slowly woke feeling Arthur's strong arms wrapped around her waist. She smiled as she looked down at his arms, feeling his body pressed up against her back. She sighed as she remembered their night together she couldn't help but feel like she was on cloud nine. Here she was with the man she was absolutely crazy about and everything felt so completely right.

However, the constant harboring thought came over her, reminding her that she was still apart of I.D.A.'s property and if she didn't find a way to get out of that company then she would be stuck with them forever. She gently pulled herself out of Arthur's grip and headed towards the bathroom to go take a shower. As she jumped in and allowed the warm water to take over her body her mind was reeling with several thoughts as to how she can gain her freedom but at the same time she was definitely going to need some help.

She finally turned the water off and grabbed a towel off the hook and dried herself off and wrapped it around her body as she grabbed his comb and started to comb her hair in front of the mirror. Just then she felt two strong arms wrap around her waist and felt a soft kiss on her shoulder. Alexandra smiled as she looked up at the mirror to see Arthur giving her a closed mouth smile as he rested his chin on her shoulder and gave her a hug from behind.

"Morning…"

He said sleepily as he gave her a tight squeeze. Alexandra grinned at the mirror as she placed the comb down. "Good Morning." Arthur grinned at her and kissed her temple. "I woke up to see you weren't there and I became worried." Alexandra allowed out a soft laugh as she turned around in his arms and placed her hands on his cheeks and gave him a sweet peck on the lips. "I'm not going anywhere." Arthur grinned down at her and kissed her on the lips.

"Good."

He said softly and kissed her once again. Alexandra sighed against his lips and wrapped her arms around his neck. After a few moments she finally broke apart from him and bit her bottom lip as she smiled. "I love you so much." She whispered as she looked up into his dark brown eyes. Arthur hesitated and this immediately didn't go unnoticed to Alex. "Right… you still need time." Arthur sighed and bowed his head. "I'm sorry." He whispered, Alexandra nodded giving him a sad smile. "I understand." She said softly as she pulled away from him and went to go get ready.

Arthur followed her as he scratched the back of his head. "Alex I…" Alex then cuts him off as she pulled her dress back on and grabbed one of his white shirts and pulled it over her shoulders and tied the front around her. "You don't have to explain Arthur I understand." Arthur immediately shook his head and took her into his arms. "Baby I can't tell you how much you mean to me." Alex nodded, giving him a small smile.

"You say that but it's not enough to say that you love me. Arthur I'm sorry but I know you need this time but you keep throwing me these mix signals and last night was amazing but it brought back to many memories of what we were."

She then started to tear up.

"We need to figure out what we really do mean to each other. I love you and you know that! But you just can't open your heart to me and maybe there's a reason why."

She said as her voice started to crack. "Maybe what we had was an infatuation maybe what we have isn't love." Arthur gave her an urgent look and roughly grabbed her arm.

"It is NOT infatuation Alexandra! You're not my damn toy I do have love for you! Baby you're my everything ok? I'm not going to lose you again! I won't lose you again!"

Alexandra gently nodded, tears rolling down her cheeks. "ok." She said so meekly and gave him a fake smile. Arthur sighed and gently nodded his head.

"Alright, let's get ready to head towards the warehouse."

Alexandra sadly nodded as he pecked her on the lips and went off to go get ready.

Once they made it to the warehouse the tension between them was starting to grow more intense. Arthur knew that he was in the wrong in not telling her that he really loved her. However, he never honestly wanted to admit that he was scared to allow his heart out again only to have it broken into a bunch of tiny pieces. Sure, they were now walking in the warehouse hand in hand but he also knew that the woman that he loves so much was hurt and broken because of his stupidity. Dom was now standing in front of the group, holding a file in his hand as they both sat down in a seat.

"Alright guys now that everyone is here…"

He smirked as he continued. "Some of us are going to do some field work. I want to see how close Fischer is with his father and we need to learn more about Browning's mannerisms. So Alex I want you and Eames to go and find out as much as you can about these two men. You both are going to appear as lawyers regarding Fischer's fathers will. Once you gain enough knowledge that we need then we'll move on from there." Alex and Eames then smirked over at each other while Arthur glared at Dom.

"Why do you need both of them to go?"

Dom sighed, he knew that Arthur was not going to like hearing his proposal but it was what they needed to do. "Eames is going to be evaluating Browning's behavior while Alex you are going to portray as Fischer's lawyer. I want Fischer to remember you because when we're in the dream world you are going to be his safety blanket." Alex nodded and then leaned forward, resting her elbows on her thighs and resting her head with her clasped hands. "How am I to convince him that I am trustworthy?" Eames then smirked over at her. "I'm sure you can think of something darling." Alex then glared at him while he held his hands up defensively with a goofy smile.

"What I meant Eames was how am I going to convince him that I'm his lawyer? I'm sure he's very aware of what his and his father's lawyer looks like."

Saito then immediately spoke up. "I have arranged that for you Miss. Cobb. You are a collogue of Mr. Fischer's lawyer and will be replacing his current lawyer due to his abrupt need to leave for the states. Mr. Fischer is already aware that he will not be meeting his actual lawyer and is also aware that Leila Donahue is planning on visiting him soon to negotiate the will." Alex nodded taking this all in. "What if he figures out that I'm not a lawyer?" Mr. Saito then smirked at her.

"Like I said Miss. Cobb it's already taken care of. I have had paperwork, diploma from Harvard University and the other credentials such as your test scores from the Bar Exam to prove that you are indeed a lawyer."

Alex smirked at Saito and leaned back in her seat. "I am very impressed." Mr. Saito smiled and nodded at her. "I figured that you would." Arthur then had pinched the bridge of his nose and irritably looked up. "What is the point of having Alex becomes the safety blanket? We are not planning on portraying a Mr. Charles." Alexandra then arched her brow over at him, noticing that he was very much against the whole idea. "It does seem somewhat unneeded to have me earn his trust." She said looking back over at her brother, Dom then shook his head.

"When we're down there you are not only going to be protecting Saito but you will also be protecting Fischer and for Fischer to completely trust you he must trust you in real life, it'll make him more willing to go along with our plan if he feels comfortable around you."

Alexandra nodded while Ariadne asked. "Why do you think he will feel more comfortable around Alex?" Eames then snickered as he looked over at the young architect. "Because darling men always fall easily for a pretty lady and Alex here is the type of lady that Mr. Fischer would be interested in." Arthur then scoffed as he crossed his arms. "What a nice way to put it Eames… let's just make Alex here an eloquent tramp." Alexandra then immediately whipped her head back over at Arthur and glared at him. "Excuse me!" Arthur then glared at her.

"That is pretty much what they want you to do. They want Fischer to be attracted to you so when we're in the dream world then he'd follow along with you like a lost puppy well I'm sorry I'm not going to agree to this."

Alex frowned at him; she was fed up with his up and down behavior. She was getting tired of his constant indecisive way of not knowing if he loved her or not and to be honest she was done in her opinion, he wanted them to be lovers but he didn't want to act upon the emotional part of their relationship and it became severely clear to her this morning that he honestly didn't know what he wanted but he didn't want her to move on because he wanted her to love him but for him to work out his feelings for her.

No, she was tired of that game and he needed to decide what he wants and maybe this time away from him will make him realize what he really wanted whether she would like the outcome or not.

"Arthur to be quite honest I do not think you have a say in what I will and will not do."

Eames raised his eyebrows surprised by her response while Arthur immediately looked over at her.

"Well excuse me Alexandra for trying to look out for you."

Alex sighed and gave him a closed mouth smile. "Arthur I understand your concerns but this is a really good plan and to be honest it's going to make the job much easier." She then smirked over at Eames. "And I'm sure if I need assistance Mr. Eames will be there to help with that department." Eames then smirked back at her. "Absolutely darling." Arthur then became extremely angry and gave Alexandra a hard glare, while she looked back at him.

"Can we talk privately please?"

He said gritting his teeth, Alexandra nodded while everyone watched them rise up from their seats and head off to the farther side of the warehouse. Once they were out of everyone's hearing, Arthur immediately turned towards her, obviously furious with their discussion. "What was that all about!" he growled, Alex looked at him innocently and shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know what you mean Arthur, I don't know why this would be a bother to you, like you said this morning you need time and maybe this separation would be good for both of us."

Arthur moved closer to her, knowing that she was still upset with what happened this morning. "Alex… I didn't mean it that way." He said softly as he cupped her cheek with his hand.

"Then what did you mean it by!"

She said as tears started to well up in her eyes.

"I'm so tired of this guessing game with you! You say you need time and I'm trying Arthur I'm really trying but I can't just stand here and expect you to walk up to me one day and say those three words to me. I need to move on if there is nothing going to be for us, maybe this is the best."

Arthur quickly shook his head and pulled her to him. "No you promised… you promised you wouldn't do this to me again." Alex looked up at him as tears started to roll down her cheeks. "Then tell me… Arthur you just have to say it just please say it!" she begging pleadingly, Arthur's eyes started to well up in tears as he rested his forehead against hers.

"I can't…"

He said brokenly and then started to tear up even more. Alexandra sighed as she closed her eyes and slowly nodded. "Well then I guess it's settled." She said as she looked up at him and saw him quickly shake his head. "No… not it's not!" Alex nodded as she cupped his cheek with the palm of her hand and kissed him on the lips.

"I'm sorry Arthur but it is."

She said brokenly as well as she moved away from him and began to walk away. She then walked up to the chair she was sitting in and grabbed her purse while everyone was looking at her, seeing her blood shot eyes and tear stains on her cheeks.

"Look I'm going to go…"

Just then, everyone heard a crash and looked over where the sound came from and saw that Arthur angrily shoved a table over and kicked a chair away from him as papers now began to fly in the air. Alex sighed as she looked over at her brother.

"When do Eames and I have to leave?"

Dom looked at his sister sadly as he cleared his throat. "Tomorrow morning at 7:00." Alexandra nodded and then looked over at Eames.

"I'll see you at the airport then, have a nice day everyone."

She waved and then headed out the door leaving everyone to witness Arthur's rampage.

Hey guys sorry for the delay, work has been kinda crazy but I promise I have been working on Chapter 12 as we speak! So what did you guys think of Chapter 11? Pretty intense huh? I mean Alex practically broke up with Arthur! I bet you guys are wondering how that's going to pan out in the long run! Who do you guys think is right or wrong in this situation? Do you think that Arthur is right for not just jumping out and saying that he loves Alex or do you think Alex was right for not wanting to sit around and wait for a possible chance that he will give his heart completely to her again?
