Chapter 9.

"Alexandra Verona hurry your ass up!"

Cordy yelled up the stairs as she, Marli, Mark and Amy were all waiting in the living room for Alex. "Hold on! I'm almost done!" Alex yelled as she was applying the finishing touches of her makeup. Meanwhile Bobby, Angel and Jack were all now walking into the house while Evelyn was next door visiting with her near and dear friend. The boys noticed all of Alex's friends standing in their living room all dressed up as if they were going to go out for the night. Bobby arched his brow at them, not remembering Alex ever mentioning that she was going to go out.

"What's going on?"

Cordy scoffed and rolled her eyes over at him. "We're supposed to be going out to this new hot club and Alex is dragging her ass!" Marli glared over at Cordy and crossed her arms. "Well you just showed up here out of the blue telling her we're going to go right now! I told you to call her but you said she knew already!" Cordy rolled her eyes and shook her head. "So I didn't tell her! She shouldn't be taking this long anyways!" Amy frowned, shyly crossing her arms over her chest.

"Well… you did tell her to get super dressed up so maybe that's what she's doing."

Cordy glared over at Amy. "Shut up Amy!" Mark had heard enough, starting to get really irritated with Cordy. "Knock it off Cordy you didn't tell Alex we're going out so now she has to scramble to get herself ready! This was your damn mistake so lay off!" Cordy glared over at Mark and was about to say something until they all heard someone speak.

"Ok I'm ready."

Everyone looked up the stairs and all heard Jack and Angel let out a low whistle. "Damn!" Angel muttered as Alex came walking down the stairs in a short black form fitting dress with strappy high heels. Her hair was straight but had plenty of volume and her makeup was light giving her a natural look. Bobby's jaw literally dropped as she finally made it down the stairs. "Finally!" Cordy scoffed while Amy immediately smiled at her. "You look great Alex considering that Cordy literally only gave you 20 minutes to get ready." Alex smiled at Amy and laughed. "Thanks sweetie." She then gently placed a strand of hair behind her ear and looked over at Bobby and grinned.

"Hey…"

Bobby finally found his composure and cleared his throat. "Hey. You um you look great but where are you guys going?" Cordy sighed extremely irritated that they were running late. "WELL. We're supposed to hit up that new club Eternity and I was supposed to introduce Alex to this incredibly hot guy but she decided that she was going to drag her ass." Alex's eyes widened and immediately looked over at Cordy. "Wait what!" Bobby became somewhat irritated at the fact that this bitch was trying to hook up his girl. Cordy arched her brow at Alex and crossed her arms.

"I met this incredibly gorgeous guy name Sawyer and I told him that I have a friend that he'd be really interested in. And since you're not placing yourself out in the dating world I figured I'd give you a little push."

Alex glared at Cordy and scoffed. "Oh screw this! I'm not going!" She growled, starting to take her shoes off. Cordy immediately shook her head. "Oh hell yes you are going! This guy is all ready for you to meet him and you're not going to embarrass me!" Alex was so angry and Cordy and was about to say something to her until Bobby immediately spoke up. "Oh hell no! Alex screw this shit!" He growled and then immediately looked over at Cordy.

"Who the fuck do you think you are to sit here and tell her that she needs to go and meet some fucking guy? Who the fuck do you think you are that you have to push her around! Maybe she's not fucking ready you bitch! Maybe she's interested in someone else! Have you ever fucking thought about that!"

He yelled, Cordy's jaw dropped while Mark was trying to contain his laughter, Marli noticed him doing so and immediately elbowed him in the side. Alex quickly looked over at Bobby and gently placed her hands on his arm. "Bobby please…" Bobby immediately shook his head and glared at her. "No this is fucking bullshit Alexandra!" Alex gently nodded slowly moving herself in front of him giving him a pleading look. "Bobby can we talk privately?" Bobby sighed, but silently nodded as he glared over at Cordy.

"I'm not through with you Diva!"

He sneered as he took Alex's hand and pulled her into the kitchen. Mark arched his brow at the two and looked over at Marli who shrugged her shoulders innocently. Cordy on the other hand was searing while Angel looked at her apologetically. "Look I'm sorry about my brother he's a bit of a hot head and doesn't know how to censor his mouth." Cordy scoffed and crossed her arms.

"Yeah no kidding!"

Meanwhile Alex and Bobby were now in the kitchen. Bobby was starting to pace back and forth furious with the situation. "Who the fuck does that bitch think she is! She has no fucking right to set you up with some dumb ass guy when you're with me! That is not going to fucking happen!" He growled, it then all the sudden became completely clear to Alex as to why he was so angry. Sure, they were supposed to be taking this relationship thing slow but it was obvious to her that Bobby was taking this relationship to heart and in a way that really pleased Alex to know that Bobby was not taking this as a fling to have fun.

Alex couldn't help but gently smile at him and walked up and wrapped her arms around his large frame. Bobby was taken back but immediately wrapped his arms around her tightly and kissed her temple. "Sorry I blew up like that." He muttered obviously still ticked off. Alexandra laughed and gently kissed his lips.

"It's ok… Bobby I would never step out on you like that ok? I don't want to be with anyone else. I like being with you."

Bobby sighed and slowly shook his head. "You shouldn't want to… I'm seriously fucked up you know that right?" Alex giggled and kissed him once again. "Well lucky for you I like seriously fucked up guys." Bobby slowly snickered and pulled her closer to him and crashed his lips against her.

Alex wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss between them. Bobby smirked against her lips and gently began to fight dominance with her tongue. His hands started to wander up and down her body as he smoothly pushed her up against the wall, their lips still together. Alex moaned as Bobby moved his way down to her neck, and placed his hand on her thigh and moved it up and around his waist. Bobby loved feeling her against him and most of all he loved knowing that she was his and his alone. "Bobby…" She whispered, arching her back.

"Bobby…"

She gasped once again as he crashed his lips against hers once again. "Do you know how damn fucking beautiful you are?" Bobby growled against her lips, Alex laughed and gently shook her head. "I'm not that amazing Bobby." Bobby snickered and broke the kiss between them. "You kidding? Me you're fucking gorgeous! I couldn't keep my damn eyes off of ya when you came down the stairs!" Alex giggled and kissed the tip of his nose. "Come with us Bobby please? I don't want to go without you." Bobby slowly smirked at her and kissed her lips.

"Baby I just got home from work… I'd have to take a shower and get ready."

Alex smiled and looked at him pleadingly. "Please Bobby? I really want you to be there with me." Bobby's smirk turned into an endearing grin. "Already getting attached huh?" Alex shrugged a smile still placed on her lips. "Maybe I am and maybe I'm not. But look at it this way! Mark is going to come along and I'm sure he would like another guy to hang out with and giving the fact that he's going to be stuck with a bunch of women, he would probably definitely appreciate it." Bobby chuckled and shook his head. "Fine… but give me a few alright?" Alex grinned and happily nodded. "Ok!" Bobby snickered and kissed her once again.

"Damn baby girl I don't know what you're doing to me and I'll be honest it's scaring the shit out of me."

Alex smiled, resting her forehead against his. "To be honest it's scaring the shit out of me too." Bobby smirked and kissed her on the lips one last time as he moved away from her. "Alright Baby give me 15 minutes and we'll go ok?" Alex nodded as Bobby and she now walked out of the kitchen. Cordy continued to sneer at Bobby while he gave her a smug grin. "Looks like I'm tagging along sweetheart!" Cordy's eyes widened while Marli slowly smiled to herself, knowing why he really was planning on going. "Excuse me!" Bobby smugly grinned at her and shrugged his shoulders.

"Well I look at it this way princess since Alex here is my Ma's one and only real family left it is my complete responsibility to make sure that she's going to be fine where ever she goes so to make that fucking clear into your head I plan on hanging out and make sure this asshole you decided to set her up with is worth her time if not I will make it perfectly fucking clear that he won't be anywhere near her again got it?"

Cordy groaned out of frustration and waved her hands around animatedly. "This is freaking ridiculous! She's not five years old!" Bobby shrugged. "Well you can either deal with that suggestion or she's not going to go at all. I'm not going to let my mother's niece meet some jackass and allow her to get hurt because you think he's a great guy." Cordy glared at him while he started to walk towards the stairs.

"I'll be down in 15 minutes don't try to leave without me sweetheart."

He snickered as he climbed up the stairs to go get ready. Cordy glared over at his direction and immediately looked over at Alex. "Ok what the hell was all that about? You never said that he was David 2.0!" Alex shrugged as she went to grab her purse and jacket, not realizing that Angel and Jack were practically listening to everything that was going on while they were just sitting and watching T.V.

It became extremely obvious to the two brothers as to why Bobby wanted to go and decided once and for all to confront him tonight to find out the truth between he and Alex. "He's honestly not. He's just extremely protective especially when he found out what David did to me… I can't explain it." Cordy sighed and slowly shook her head. "Well that will end any chance for you to meet someone new! He's going to go and intimidate every guy you meet if he keeps this crap up!" Alex shrugged, smirking at Cordy. "Fine by me! I want to finish school before I get into a serious relationship." Marli subtlety smiled to herself while Alex subtlety smiled back at her.

"Look Alex I'm doing this for your own good! We all know what happened with you and David and if you don't meet a new guy soon David will keep catching you into his trap! I mean Mark can't look out for you forever! He has Marli to think about!"

Mark's eyebrows rose and immediately looked over at Marli. "Random much? Look Alex you know I got your back anytime any day! If David showed up now you know I'd be the first to kick his ass!" Alex laughed and shrugged her shoulders.

"I think you'll have to fight Bobby for first place he's pretty adamant about beating the crap out of him first."

Just then, Bobby came rushing down the stairs his hair neatly slicked back, wearing a black t-shirt that fit him to perfection and a pair of blue jeans with his brown boots. Once he made it down the stairs he grinned over at Cordy condescendingly as he walked over to the closet to grab his black leather jacket.

"Alright Diva I'm ready when you are!"

He said in an annoyingly happy tone just to irritate Cordy some more. He then pulled on his black leather jacket and then walked up to Alex and took her coat from her and held it out for her. "Alright baby girl put this on its pretty cold out there." Angel and Jack immediately whipped their heads around to see Bobby help Alex put her coat on and they both looked at one another as if Bobby had lost his mind. Alex smiled as Bobby did this and once she had her coat on Bobby then wraps his arm around her shoulders and looked back at the group.

"Alright let's go!"

He said in a happy tone as he led Alex out to the car. Cordy rolled her eyes and stormed after them while Amy quietly followed. Mark took Marli's hand and began to walk out of the house looking over at his fiancé. "Ok you know something about those two so you're going to tell me." Marli looked at Mark innocently and shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't have the slightly clue why you would think that dear?"

Mark arched his brow at her as they walked towards the car. "Come on Cordy and Amy might not see it but I do Bobby threw that fit because he doesn't want Alex dating anyone! And he's been very attentive to her and she's been very smiley lately which tells me that those two finally opened up and told one another and you know about it because Alex tells you everything! So fess up Marli I'm not going to tell anyone." Marli sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Fine! But you can't say anything Mark I mean it!"

Mark rose his hands up defensively and smiled. "I promise I promise!" Marli nodded in approval. "Alright look… Alex and Bobby are quietly seeing one another and are taking this extremely, extremely slow because of what happened with Alex. But it's extremely obvious tonight that Bobby is starting to fall really hard for her and that's why he was fighting with Cordy, he doesn't want Alex to date anyone else even if they are not really boyfriend and girlfriend yet! And to be honest I found it to be very adorable how he's being around her! From what I learned from Alex today Bobby has a really hard time trusting people and she said that him opening up to her the way he has been is extremely huge progress for him. So if Cordy continues on to have Alex meet this guy you need to help me keep Bobby back because I have a feeling Bobby will break this guys nose for so much as even looking at her." Mark grinned as he wrapped his arm around Marli, seeing everyone climbing into his car.

"To be honest I'm kinda happy with that. Bob is a good guy we had a good talk while you ladies were away and I think they both could be really good for one another."

Marli giggled and kissed her fiancé on the cheek.

"Couldn't agree more dear, I couldn't agree more."

"So Bobby… What's the deal with you and Alex?"

Mark asked as they both were now standing near the bar watching the girls dancing and having a goodtime. Bobby smirked and slowly looked over at him. "Don't know what you're talking about." Mark snickered and slowly shook his head. "Bullshit Bobby I know that you two have a thing for one another so just tell me you guys together? Or thinking of being together?" Bobby chuckled and took a sip out of his drink.

"Yeah we're tryin somethin… Donno if it's gonna mean anything down the long run but so far we're enjoying each other's company."

Mark arched his brow at him as the girls continued to have their fun. "So have you two… ya know?" Bobby scoffed and looked over at him. "Nah man which is funny because usually I'd be all over that but after all she's been through I don't want push it." He then looked over at the girls and noticed a guy walking up to them and placing his hand on Alex's waist, this severely pissed Bobby off.

"That fucker better get his fucking hands off her before I break em!"

Mark chuckled as he watch Alex swat the guys hand away from her and glare at him. "You have it bad man…" Bobby scoffed and was about to walk up and tell that asshole off until Alex immediately looked over at him and walked away from the guy and went up to him and take his hands into hers. "Dance with me?" Bobby smirked at her and then looked up at the asshole who was touching her.

He was watching her interact with Bobby and Bobby took this advantage to tell this fucker to back off. Bobby wrapped his arms around Alex's waist and grinned down at her. "Sure baby anything you want." Alex grinned at him and immediately took his hand and pulled him along with her to the dance floor. Marli happily grinned once she saw Alex and Bobby dancing with one another however Cordy and Amy were completely confused.

"What the heck is going on between the two of them!"

Cordy yelled over the music, seeing Bobby place his hands on Alex's hips and pulling her tightly against him. Marli quickly looked over at her with a large grin on her face, figuring that she may as well let the cat out of the bag since Bobby and Alex weren't exactly doing a great job keeping their relationship a secret. "Cordy the reason why Bobby freaked at you earlier is because he and Alex are kinda seeing each other and didn't like hearing that his girl was being hooked up with some other guy." Cordy's jaw dropped and immediately looked back at Bobby and Alex who were laughing as Bobby dipped Alex playfully and swung her back up to face him.

"They're together!"

Cordy said in complete shock, Marli smiled and nodded. "Yup they are and from what it looks like Bobby is extremely interested in her and according to Alex he doesn't get involved with just anybody." Cordy scoffed with complete realization. "So that's why he freaked out at me! Damn I just thought he was naturally an ass!" Marli laughed while suddenly a slow song came over the speakers Mark was instantly behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered in her ear.

"You wanna dance?"

Marli giggled and immediately turn in Marks arms. "What do you think?" Mark grinned down at her and looked up towards Bobby and Alex. "Looks like they're falling fast huh?" Marli looked back as Bobby slowly wrapped his arms around Alex's waist as she looped her arms around his neck slowly dancing with one another. Mark then pulled Marli to stand near the two new couple and began to slow dance as well. Meanwhile Alex was resting her head against Bobby's chest, as Bobby held her closely against him. "Bobby?" Bobby smiled and kissed the top of her head and rested his chin.

"Yeah?"

Alex sighed, nuzzling her face deeper into him. "What makes me so special that you want to spend time with me?" She asked slowly looking up at him. Bobby arched his brow at her and smirked. "What do you mean baby girl?" Alex shrugged, letting out a soft laugh. "Well It's just that you can probably have any girl you want and from what I heard of your reputation you do not stick around in relationships long enough to even get to a serious point and yet here you are with me, acting as if this is the only place you want to be and I'm the only one you want to be with. I just want to know why are you doing this with me and not any of your other girlfriends…" Bobby chuckled. 'Damn did she put too much thought into this!' he thought to himself.

"Look sweetheart I aint gonna lie to you. I'm not the kind of guy who wants to settle down and all that shit and to answer your question I never stuck around with those girls because they either wanted something from me or I never really wanted to stick with them in the first place. Alex you're smart! You're beautiful and you're going places that I aint going. Most of the girls I date are either trash or just a onetime fling but with you it's different. I donno how to explain it baby but with you I actually enjoy having you around, I like that you believe in me and don't think I'm just some fuck up. Does that make sense?"

Alex nodded, giving him a small smile. "I do… but what I would like to know is am I just a fling, another notch on your belt?" Bobby looked at her incredulously and immediately shook his head. "Fuck no baby! You're the real deal! If ma didn't know you, you'd be the one I would want to bring home to her, let's put it that way." Alex smiled and gently nodded, cupping her palm against his cheek. "If my parents were alive you'd be the one I would want to take home too." Bobby slowly smiled at her and snickered.

"Yeah so you can give your pops a heart attack!"

Alex laughed as they held one another swaying to the music. "That and because you really are a good guy and even though you have a tough exterior you do have a heart and I'm so happy that you chose to show that heart to me. I'm not saying that we're going to get married one day and have kids running around and all but I would like to stay with you as long as I can." Bobby grinned at her and shrugged.

"I donno that whole coming home from work with my kids running around and you doing whatever I want you to do every night sounded really good to me!"

He said with a cheeky grin remembering their conversation with one another when they first met. Alex laughed and gently bowed her head as her blush started to rise to her cheeks. "Well maybe one day that will happen. I'm not opposed to that idea." Bobby smirked at her and slowly leaned down and kissed her. At this moment and time he really didn't care if anyone was watching them in all honesty the way he looked at it was that this woman here was his girl and his girl alone and nothing was going to stop that from happening. Alex allowed out a soft laugh against his lips and she pulled him closer to deepen the kiss.

Cordy and Amy's jaws dropped once they saw this while Marli was grinning like a mad woman. "Oh my God you weren't lying!" Cordy said astounded, as she watched Bobby playfully lifted her up from the ground, kissing her even more passionately as they both laughed once against each other as he placed her back down, swaying to the music. "Told you they're nuts for each other." Marli said smugly while Cordy glared at her.

"Alright Marli I get it you win I lose. I'm honestly shocked! Bobby doesn't seem like Alex's type."

Amy shrugged and looked over at Cordy innocently. "They always say opposites attract maybe that's why they are good for each other." Cordy then immediately saw Sawyer come walking towards them and started to panic. "Guys that's Sawyer what am I going to tell him!" She asked worriedly as he continued to make his way over to them. "Just tell him that she met someone else." Marli shrugged, Cordy groaned out of frustration. "He's going to kill me!" The song finally ended as Bobby and Alex pulled away from one another. "I'm going to get something to drink, do you want anything?" He asked her, Alex shook her head and smiled.

"Nah I'm fine. Thank you though."

Bobby nodded, as he pecked her on the lips. "I'll be right back." Alex nodded as he turned to make his way back to the bar. Alex then decided to make her way back over to her friends and as she made it over she then gave everyone a large grin. "Hey guys!" Cordy glared at her but couldn't help but smile as well. "You ass! You didn't tell me you and Bobby are together!" Alex shrugged, giving her a shy smile.

"We were trying to keep it quiet but I guess he got tired of that."

Cordy rolled her eyes and realized that Sawyer had now made his way over to them. "Hey Cordy how are you?" He grinned, dimples appearing as he did so. Cordy nervously smiled and waved. "Oh hey Sawyer I didn't even see you coming!" Sawyer shrugged, as he placed his hands in his pockets. "Well I just got here actually… So um is the girl you were talking about here?" Cordy opened her mouth not really knowing how to answer and then looked over at Alex. "Um yeah, Alex this is Sawyer, Sawyer this is Alex." Alex shyly smiled at Sawyer while he automatically grinned at her. "Hey there Alex it's really nice to meet you, Cordy has said tons about you." Alex gave him a surprised look but smiled anyways.

"She has huh? Well um she has said some nice stuff about you too."

Sawyer nodded, while the group watched in complete interest as he moved closer to her. "Well that's good to hear; hey um would you like me to get you a drink or something?" Alex's eyes widened and before she could even answer, she felt two large arms wrap around her waist pulling her back into a large muscular body. She then felt him kiss her temple and place his lips against her ear.

"Hey baby sorry there was line at the bar, you ok?"

He smirked, his eyes never leaving Sawyers. Sawyer frowned while Alex at the moment was nervous as to what Bobby was going to do. "Um I'm sorry I am a little confused here…" Sawyer said as he looked over at Cordy. "I thought you said she wasn't seeing anyone." Cordy scoffed, shrugging her shoulders. "Hell if I knew." She said more to herself while Bobby glared at Sawyer, his chin now resting on Alex's shoulder. "Well she is jolly green giant! I just so happen to be her boyfriend." Sawyer frowned, while he saw Alex give him an apologetic look.

"Sawyer I'm really sorry for the misunderstanding."

Bobby then scoffed.

"I'm not."

Alex then elbowed him in the stomach. While Sawyer gave her a sad smile and shrugged. "It's alright sweetheart maybe in another lifetime huh?" Alex smiled and shrugged. "Maybe…" Bobby then glared at him. "Don't count on it Sasquatch!" Alex then turned at glared at him.

"BOBBY!"

Bobby then innocently shrugged at her. "What!" Alex sighed while she looked back over at Sawyer. "Sawyer I'm really sorry." Sawyer shrugged, giving her a closed mouth smile. "Don't worry about it I'll see ya some other time sweetness. You all have a nice night." He waved and headed out.

Once he was gone everyone allowed out a sigh of relief that Bobby didn't attempt to beat Sawyer up. "Asshole I was about to kick his ass if he didn't leave anytime soon." Bobby growled irritably, Alex frowned as she crossed her arms over her chest. "Did you have to be so mean Bobby?" Bobby shrugged, pulling her closer to him. "Look if you saw the way he was lookin at you, you'd understand. I'm your guy and I don't want any other guy to try and take my girl alright? And if that asshole didn't get it then that's his problem." Alex frowned at him while Cordy was glaring at him.

"I think the only asshole here is you Bobby you were rude as hell to him! He was just being nice."

Bobby scoffed, glaring over at her. "Says the girl who can't keep a man longer than a day and a half." Cordy then groaned, now starting to pull her dangle earrings off. "Oh that's it! I am going to kick your ass Bobby! I had put own with your smartass comments all freaking night and I've had it!" She growled while Mark quickly went to grab her. Bobby then snickered.

"Like to see you try sweetheart!"

Alex then immediately grabbed Bobby's arm and glared at him. "Bobby knock it off!" Bobby immediately looked over at her and frowned once he saw how angry and disappointed she was. She then slowly looked back over at Mark and sighed. "Mark do you think we can go home? I'm getting kinda tired." Mark silently nodded and pulled out his keys and escort himself and Marli out of the club, along with Cordy and Amy. Bobby quickly grabbed Alex's arms to try and talk to her. "Alex I…" Alex then ripped her arms away from him and headed towards the door. Bobby sighed and shamelessly followed her.

XXXX

Once Mark had dropped Alex and Bobby off, Alex angrily stormed up the stairs while Bobby was trying to chase after her. "Alex come on! Will you talk to me!" He begged as he watched her climb up the stairs, she then stormed into her room and slammed the door shut before he could even get another word in. Bobby sighed and looked over into the living room to see Jack and Angel still sitting in the same spots they left them in and glared. "What the fuck are you two looking at!" Jack shrugged as he took a sip out of his beer.

"Take it was not a good night huh?"

Bobby scoffed, angrily ripping his coat off his shoulders and slinging it over the chair. "It was going fucking great until I fucked it up like usual." Angel then arched his brow. "What happened?" Bobby sighed as he sat down in the chair and rested his elbows on his lap and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Alex's friend was trying to hook her up with some guy and I pretty much made it a point that she was my girl and he better not try anything then Alex got mad at me along with her friend and it just ended up turning into this big fucking mess! I don't know why I fucking bother with this shit, it's nothing but bullshit!" He growled as he finally sat up. Jack then smirked at him and shrugged.

"So you were being the overprotective boyfriend it happens."

Bobby glared at him.

"I didn't say I was her fucking boyfriend you little fairy!"

Angel then innocently looked over at him.

"Then why were you making it a point to that guy that she was your girl?"

Bobby then shrugged.

"Because she is, I mean what would ma say if she ended up with some asshole?"

Angel then scoffed.

"Oh just shut the hell up man! Alex is your girlfriend just fucking admit it already! You two spend a ton of time together and we've caught you kissing her more than once this morning and I'll tell you Bobby you wouldn't give a fuck if some guy was hitting on some girl your hanging with unless she is your girl as in your girlfriend and this girlfriend you really, really care for! So get your candy ass up those stairs and apologize to her because I like Alex and if you break her heart I will kick your ass man, that's my girl right there and even though you're my brother I'll look out for her ass before I look out for yours got it?"

Bobby glared at him while Jack immediately nodded. "Yeah!" Bobby then glared over at Jack and then sighed. "Your right… if I want this to work I need to do things I don't usually do." Bobby then rose up from the seat and went off to go climb the stairs. Angel then shook his head as he went back to stare at the T.V. "I hope that girl is a saint because she's going to have to deal with all his bullshit." Jack then shrugged as he took another sip out of his beer.

"I hope so."

Meanwhile Bobby made it up the stairs and walked over towards her door and knocked. He waited a few moments and realized that she wasn't going to open it up which caused him to frown and began to knock even harder. "Alex come on, let me come in please?" Still silence, Bobby groaned out of frustration and began to knock even harder.

"Alex open the damn door up! I'm trying too…"

Bobby was then immediately cut off by the door automatically opening to show Alex glaring at him, her mascara running all the way down her cheeks, giving proof that she was crying.

"Too what Bobby? Apologize for being an asshole? For being rude as hell to my friends? To act the same exact why David did! What is it Bobby what the hell do you have to apologize to me for?"

She growled as Bobby sighed, bowing his head. "Look I know I deserve that but I really am sorry alright? Can I please come in and explain?" Alex sighed as she moved away from the door so he could enter. Bobby then walked inside while she closed the door. She then rested her back against the heavy wood and crossed her arms, her glare still apparent upon her face.

"Alright explain."

Bobby frowned, she had the same glare his mother had and in all honesty he felt that he was being reprimanded by his mother as he stared at her. "Alex this is really hard for me alright? I'm not used to having to work to keep my girl interested in me. Usually they are the one working to make sure that I don't lose interest and seeing the way that asshole was looking at you and the way your friend was pushing you to meet someone I just lost it." He then walked up to her and pulled her closer to him.

"You're my girl and I don't want to lose this amazing thing that I have developed with you. I'm worried that one day you're going to realize how much of a fuck up I am and then decide that you can do better than me."

Alex frowned and gently cupped his cheek with the palm of her hand. "I don't think that way Bobby but you need to be a little nicer alright? Even if you don't like what my friends are doing or saying. I understand the whole having to be a tough guy I mean you've lived a really hard life but I just want you to know that no matter what I'm here for you. I'm sticking around unless there's a reason why I need to break this off ok? I really want to try this with you; I really care for you Bobby." Bobby sighed and pulled her into a warm hug. "What can I do to fix this?" Alex smiled against his chest and shrugged as she pulled back from him.

"Take me on a date tomorrow."

Bobby then arched his brow at her. "A date?" Alex then nodded with a large smile on her lips. "Take me somewhere nice, where it's just you and me, no one else." Bobby chuckled and slowly shook his head. "Baby girl I'm not good on dates." Alex then shrugged as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Well you want to make this relationship work and want to fix what you did tonight so I guess you'll have to figure something out then."

Bobby sighed, glaring at her. "Is this how its gonna be? You tellin me what to do and shit?" Alex then shrugged. "Is it always going to be you being a smart ass to my friends and rude as all get out to any guy other than your brothers or Marli's fiancé who talks to me?" Bobby then bowed his head as he placed his hands in his pockets.

"I'll think of somethin alright?"

Alex then a small smile.

"It doesn't have to be grand or anything…"

Bobby then waved his hand at her. "Yeah, yeah just don't get your hopes up alright?" Alex nodded and slowly walked up to him and pecked him on the lips. "Whatever you plan will be great ok? I just want to spend some time with you, just you." Bobby looked down at her with complete seriousness as he gently gave her a quick kiss. "Alright, get some sleep though it's getting late and the last thing I need is for you to be fucking grouchy with me tomorrow." Alex laughed as she wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a passionate kiss. Bobby smirked against her lips and pulled her closer to him.

After a few moments of sharing their embrace Bobby then pulled away and kissed her forehead. "Night baby girl." Alex smiled at him and kissed his cheek. "Night Bobby." Bobby then begrudgingly left her room, as he closed the door and couldn't help the large smile that was starting to morph on his lips as he headed down the stairs only to see his mother walk in.

"Oh Bobby you're home!"

Bobby shrugged as he walked closer to his mother. "Yeah well it wasn't that great of a night to be honest." Evelyn looked over at Bobby as she pulled off her coat and gloves. "Really? Do I even want to ask?" Bobby sighed as he bowed his head. "I went out with Alex and her friends tonight and it didn't turn out the way we thought it would." Evelyn arched her brow as she walked towards the living room, expecting her son to follow her.

"May I ask what happen or are you planning on telling me just that Robert Mercer."

She said in a knowing tone that he was the reason why the night didn't go so well. Bobby sighed, kicking himself even bringing this up. "Her friend tried hooking her up with this guy and let's just says I was not on my best behavior ok ma?" Evelyn nodded a small smirk starting to morph on her lips as Bobby sat in the seat across from her.

"You really like her don't you Bobby?"

Bobby frowned and started to get agitated.

"Nah I was just looking out for her I don't want some jackass try to take advantage from her."

Evelyn scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Bobby enough! I see the way you act with her and its completely different from the way you treat any other girl I've seen you with. Now be honest with me is the real reason why you got angry tonight with her friends and this young man is because you care for her?" Bobby stared at her for a moment and began to look away from her.

"How would you feel ma if I told you that Alex and I are quietly seeing each other?"

Evelyn smiled as she clasped her hands together. "I think that would be a very pleasant idea for the both of you. Bobby, Alex is a good girl and even though you do not want to believe it you're a good man and I honestly believe that the two of you would make a very nice couple but that means you will have to treat her right Bobby not treat her like the other girls you've been with." Bobby then nodded. "I wouldn't even be able to if I tried Ma… she has this hold on me, this one is different." Evelyn couldn't help but smile at this, finally her Bobby was meeting a nice girl that she would definitely approve of.

"Well that is very good to hear sweetheart. So how do you plan on making this up to her?"

Bobby then shrugged, leaning back into his seat.

"She wants me to take her on a date but I don't even have the slightest idea where! Ma I'm not good at this! I never really took anyone on a date that was meaningful and I'm just going to fuck this up again! I don't even know where to even fucking take her!"

Evelyn smiled as she rose up from her seat and walked towards him as she placed her hand on his shoulder.

"You leave that to me dear."

She mischievously grinned and kissed the top of his head.

"Good Night Bobby."

Bobby then smiled over at his mother as he turned around to watch her leave the room.

"Night Ma."
