Chapter 9 – Only You
There was a party that night in Luigi's. They called it Jimbo's leaving do, but of course he wasn't invited.
Alex sat at the bar and watched the others. Gene gazed at her from across the room, marvelling at the way her dress accentuated her curves. He walked up behind her and placed a hand gently on her hip. "Hey there, beautiful girl" he murmured. "Mind if I have this dance?"
Yazoo started playing and Alex took Gene's hand. "Alright" she said.
He led her away from the bar and took her in a waltz hold. She snuggled up to him and rested her head on his shoulder. The whole world seemed to fall away as they swayed together.
Towards the end of the song Alex heard Gene softly whisper "all I needed was the love you gave, all I needed for another day. And all I ever knew, only you."
She started to cry softly, but still loudly enough for Gene to hear. He brought his free hand up to her cheek, brushing away her tears. There was no need for words. Their unspoken love floated in the air around them like a cocoon.
As Yazoo faded away into The Buggles, they stayed right where they were. The rest of the team headed over to them.
"We're all off now, Guv, Ma'am" Chris said.
"Alrigh', Chris" Gene replied. "See you Monday."
Once everyone else had left, Gene brought both his hands up to Alex's face. Slowly, he slid his hands down her body to her waist. "Alexandra Drake" he growled, "I'm arresting you on suspicion of being a very naughty girl."
That's it now, Ashies. I hope you enjoyed it.
