Note: This week has been busy as hell, and I have had to keep pushing back the posting of this, but finally it is here (sorry for the wait, though). I would like to take the time out right now to thank all the lovely people who have reviewed this little series of mine. This one's for all Addison/Alex fans, and if I could encrypt a video of this moment on this page, I would because it would just rock. Anywho, McLonely, I know you've been looking forward to this one, so I hope it doesn't disappoint (twiddles fingers anxiously). R&R, Enjoy!
He says he doesn't have a dad, not anymore. She can hear in his tone the hurt he doesn't voice. She's hurting too. Just another level on which they bond. Because that's what they have--a bond. They haven't known each other long, but they know each other well. Through cases that project his innermost thoughts, that project her innermost fears. Through barbs and jokes that let him laugh, that let her forget. And above everything, through the mutual compassion each feels towards the innocent babies that deserve nothing they are put through.
As she looks at him, with his overcast eyes, and the sad smile he disguises as a smirk, she feels an overwhelming pull towards him that propel her eyes to burn through his.
A woman's intuition is the best to go by, best indication of whether something should happen or not. It's just the logic and sense that negate intuition the majority of the time.
Not this time. No, this time, without a warning, she does what her heart's begging her to do.
Kiss him.
A hand to his cheek. His brows furrow for a millisecond. Then she's leaning in, and he's not confused anymore. Lips touch, and fire is exchanged. Another hand on the other side of his cheek, and she's holding something too precious to give a name to.
Kiss him, she did. And when she pulls back, he's confused again.
What now?
