His Worst Nightmare.
Chapter 7.
After they had talked to the waitress, and shown her the picture of
Nicole Wallace, which she confirmed was a guest known as Liz
Hitchins,they left the club.
When they got back to the hotel they both entered Goren's room.
Armed with the new information they went through the files.
"Ok so she has dyed her hair red now" Alex was looking through the
database looking for all information she could find on Liz Hitchins.
After half an hour she had come up with a address and where she was
working. During the time she was pulling all this information, Goren
had run down to the restaurant and had gotten them both sandwiches
and some drinks. Just as he reentered his room Alex had finished
printing out all the information.
Alex looked up at him as he entered the room, " Seems Nicole is getting
careless, look at these." Alex handed him the printouts.
Goren placed the food and drinks onto the table then took the printouts
from Alex and started to read them through.
Alex grabbed her sandwich and took a huge bite "Hmnn this is good,
I'm so hungry I could eat a horse. If you don't hurry I may even eat your
sandwich too."
Bobby looked up from the printout his eyes immediately came to rest
on her lips, where a smudge of mayo had settled. He automatically
reached over and wiped her lip clean with his thumb. Then the shock of
what he had done set in when he saw the way she then looked at him.
"Umn.. I'm sorry Eames, there was mayo on your lip… look uh.. Your
welcome to my sandwich too, if your tired I can finish this off."
"Bobby you too haven't eaten since breakfast, I was only kidding when I
said that." Alex looked at Bobby, the turn of events this evening had left
her confused. She knew she had feelings for him, but now the depth of
those feelings had become very clear. She could still remember that
kiss back in the club, sitting on his lap, the way he tasted… so uniquely
Bobby. Involuntarily Alex reached up and brushed over her lips where
Bobby had wiped away the mayo. It was like a bolt of electricity when
Bobby had wiped the mayo away, and she could have sworn that his
eyes had lingered on her lips.
She knew she wanted more but, would this ruin their partnership? She
didn't even know if Bobby felt the same way. He seemed shocked after
the kiss. She looked back up at him and replied, " Bobby your right its
been a long day. I'm gonna head back to my room and grab some sleep,
we have a long day tomorrow."
Bobby looked up from his notebook. " Ok Eames, meet you down in the
restaurant at 7 a.m ok?
"Ok Bobby, good night and get some sleep too." She then got up and
went to her own room shutting the door behind her.
Bobby had watched her leave the room, he could no longer concentrate
on the paperwork. He picked up the sandwich and the soda and put
them in the mini fridge in his room. He started to undress, and
carefully folded his clothes. In just his briefs he entered the bathroom
and started to brush his teeth, then he started to run the water in the
shower. Then he turned an looked in the mirror. He didn't like his
reflection, ok he had managed to lose 20 pounds but he was still in
bad shape. His hair was now almost completely grey. In the space of 5
years he had aged so fast. There was no way that Eames could find him
attractive. He turned and slipped his briefs off then climbed into the
shower. With the water pulsing over his body he felt himself beginning
to relax. As he began soaping up his body his thoughts returned to
earlier this evening. How Eames had felt on his lap and in his arms,
with a sigh he could feel his body reacting to the memories. Then he
thought about the kiss, she had tasted of Margaritas and oh sooo
Eames. He had even imagined how she had returned the kiss with
vigor. With his thoughts on that kiss, his hand wandered down his body
his arousal was almost painful and after only a few strokes he felt his
body release. With his forehead against the cool tiles, he thought how
he would never be able to share these feelings with her. She could never
feel the same way he felt about her.
He walked out of the shower and dried himself off, then climbed
between his sheets and fell into a very uneasy sleep, that as so often was
racked with the nightmares known as his life so far….
