A/N: So, Rory had football at seven and I had to be at marching band at 7:45. My mom didn't want to drive Rory, come home for fifteen minutes, and then drive me to school, so she dropped me off at seven and I had half an hour-ish each morning to do this. What a perfect time!
These ideas are thanks to Soph 24 and The Confused One. :)
I was thinking about splitting this into two chapters, but ah, what the hell! XD
Enjoy!
The following morning there was a loud band in the hallway, one of the early risers dropped a heavy bag. This woke Alex and Bobby into semi-awareness.
Somehow throughout the night Alex had rolled into the middle of the bed, as did Bobby. Alex was curled up against him. Her hands were on his chest. He had is arm draped over her waist.
Alex let out a "Hmm" of delight. Whoever I am up against is very cozy.
Bobby gave a sight of happiness as well. This woman fits perfectly into my arms.
Wait, Alex's mind sharpened a little who am I up against?
Hold on, Bobby thought what happened last night?
After a beat they both realized who it was.
Bobby.
Alex.
They both practically leapt out of bed. They stood facing each other on opposite sides of the bed.
"I'm sorry." They both said at the same time.
"It's fine." They both said at the same time again.
"Okay, Goren, we have to stop this telepathy thing, at least once in a while." Alex said smoothing her clothes.
"Uh- yeah, you're right." Bobby stuttered trying to catch his breath from the adrenaline rush he just got.
They stood there oddly for a moment.
Then Alex said, "Um, I guess I'll go take a shower."
"Yeah, that's a good idea." Bobby said sitting down on the bed with his back to her. "I'll go in after you." He said as she disappeared into the bathroom. He ran his hands down his face. I don't know if I can handle three more mornings like that.
When Alex got out of the shower Bobby got in. When he got out there was a tentative knock on the door from Mike and Karla's room. "Bobby? Alex?"
They looked at each other. Alex rolled her eyes. I guess we'll let him in. They told each other silently.
Alex crossed the room and opened the door. "Hello Mike."
"Hey Alex." Mike said stepping into the room.
"Karla and I were just wondering what you guys were doing today."
Bobby and Alex looked at each other. We have options?
"We have a choice in this?" Bobby voiced.
"Uh- yeah. You guys didn't get an itinerary?" Mike asked.
They shook their heads.
"Oh, well, Karla and I can give you one. We have an extra."
"Thanks." They said at the same time. They both tried not to laugh because their mind reading was as strong as ever.
"Well, anyway, today we can play football, go sailing, just lay around and watch, or any combination of the three." Mike explained.
"Sounds fun." Alex told him.
"We'll think it over and let you know." Bobby said.
"Okay, talk to you later. Bye guys." Mike said going back to his room.
"So, Alex asked. "What do you want to do?"
"Hmm… I don't know. I think any would be fine." Bobby answered.
"Same here, they all sound appealing." Alex agreed.
"Well, we could do all three, play some football, cool off and go sailing, and then lie around." Bobby suggested.
"That sounds like a plan." Alex told him.
"Do you want to go tell Mike?" Bobby asked.
"Me? Psh, no that guy annoys me." Alex said.
"Well, he annoys me too." Bobby sighed.
"I have an idea. How about we don't tell him unless he comes back asking." Alex reasoned.
"Perfect." Bobby said.
Alex's stomach then growled. "Well, I guess we should head down to breakfast."
During breakfast they met up with Lewis and a friend of his, Drew. They talked for a bit and then Mike and Karla came and sat down by them. Everyone inwardly sighed.
"Hey guys. So, do you know what you're doing today?" Mike asked.
"Yeah, we're going to play football, go sailing and then hang around." Bobby answered.
"Sounds like fun, incorporating everything in one. Nice." Mike replied.
"Well, we'd best be off." Karla said.
Everyone chorused a goodbye.
"I love how he asked you guys what you were doing." Alex said to Lewis and Drew.
"Yeah, well, that's okay. He's just an asshole anyway." Lewis responded.
"Always has, always will be." Drew added.
"Wanna head down to where they're playing?" Bobby asked.
"I'm game." Alex said.
"Uh- I think we'll wait and see who's playing before we commit." Lewis said.
"You're just afraid to get tackled." Alex joked with him.
"Yes, I am. I don't really feel like breaking anything." Lewis explained.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Alex retorted.
"Okay guys, let's just get down to the field." Bobby said.
They all walked down to the field and they were met with many ex-football players. Alex, not very surprisingly, was the only girl there.
Someone then stood in front of the group. "That's Kevin, he used to be the head football guy, most athletic, MVP, most school spirit, you know the type." Bobby explained. Alex nodded while listening to Kevin.
"Now," Kevin started. "We have a whole bunch of people that want to play. We can do one of a few things. We want everyone to play at one time. We don't want anyone on the sidelines. So, we can break it up into four small teams and have two go at a time, or we could have two slightly large teams and make a whole bunch of positions up. So, what do you want to do?"
Pretty much everyone wanted two slightly larger teams.
"Now, the big question. Do we want to play tackle? Can our old brittle bones handle it?
Everyone screamed yes.
"All right them. Let's pick teams!" Kevin screamed back.
After everyone was picked they got on the field. Since there was more people than in a real game everyone stood wherever they felt instead of an actual position. Bobby and Alex managed to stay on the same team.
A little into the game a person that Bobby told Alex was named Jeremy, who was the quarterback for the opposite team, turned to her. "You sure you aren't going to break a nail?" He sneered.
"If I do I'll give it to you so you can remember how I kicked you ass." Alex retorted.
The next moment the ball was passed to him and he backed up to make the throw. Alex ran up and tackled him to the ground. She hopped up right away and stared down at him. "Look at that, didn't even break a nail." She told him coldly.
Everyone started to crowd around her patting her back.
Bobby walked over and looked her in the eyes. May I?
Sure. She looked at him.
Are you sure? He questioned.
Yes, we are undercover; just get it over with already. She looked at him playfully.
Bobby then walked over to her and slanted his mouth over hers. He put his hands on her hips and she put hers behind his head.
After a moment his tongue traced her lips. She opened her mouth.
It was then that they realized that half of the people there were whooping and cat calling and the others were yelling get a room.
They pulled apart slowly. Do you want to go? Bobby's eyes asked.
If it's all right with you. Alex's eyes said back.
They then took each other's hands and started to walk away.
"Do you want to do that sailing thing now?" Alex asked.
"That sounds like fun." Bobby told her.
They walked over to where the boats were.
"It's really amazing how all of this is so close to your high school." Alex commented in awe.
"Mmm… I used to walk down here a lot because it is so beautiful." Bobby told her.
When they picked out a boat someone was going to help them sail it. However, Bobby waved them off. "I know how to do it, thank you." He said politely.
They got in and Bobby true to his word was a fine sailor. He brought them to the middle of the lake. "Isn't it just wonderful here? It makes me feel at peace." Bobby commented.
"Mmm, it's lovely here." Alex said looking around.
They sat there looking around for a few minutes when Bobby chucked softly.
"What's so funny over there?" Alex questioned.
"I was just thinking of something we could do to turn a few heads." Bobby answered smoothly.
Alex put her palm to her forehead. "What has gotten into you, Bobby? All of a sudden you're very impulsive and mischievous." Alex asked.
"I don't know, away from work, relaxed, something else. Are you going to do it or not?" Bobby said quickly.
"Sure, why not." Alex shrugged.
"Feel the wind? Which way is it going?" He asked.
Alex was still for a moment. "Yea, it's blowing back to the docks."
"Exactly." Bobby said.
Alex looked confused. Very few things Bobby said to her made her do that. "And what does that have to do with anything?"
"Okay, if we sit here long enough it will blow us back." Bobby said.
"Yes, I understand that part, but why would we need to do that?" Alex said very close to getting annoyed.
"Well, we are a newlywed couple right?"
"Right."
"And we always want to go away to do the nasty right?"
"Yeah."
"Well, what if you and I just ducked down and talked or whatever, let the wind do it's job, then when we get back to the dock look really frazzled and make it look like we're just pulling up our clothes or something." Bobby suggested.
Alex thought for a moment. "Well, having fun is always good. So why not."
They both lied down on their back looking up at the sky. After a while, Alex turned to Bobby. "Do you think we're almost there, I hear voices."
Bobby peeked his head over the side of the boat to look quick. "Give it five minutes." Bobby then smiled looking like a little schoolboy.
"What are you smiling at over there?" Alex asked smiling herself.
"I was just thinking that if we "accidentally" left your bra or underwear on here that would make everything so much better." Bobby told her.
"No, no way. I am not going to strip in front of you for some stupid prank. That is where I draw the line." Alex snapped.
"Okay, okay." Bobby said holding his hands up. "We should start roughing ourselves up. They'll be able to see us soon."
Bobby untucked his shirt and undid a few of the top buttons. Alex ruffled up her hair and pinched her cheeks to make them look red.
They then heard, "Is there anyone in that sailboat?"
"I don't know, I can't see anyone."
"You stand up first. Look surprised." Bobby told Alex.
Alex then looked over the side of the boat. She saw the two men and they saw her. She made it look like she shoved someone who was lying down. She then started to pull down her shirt and smooth out her hair which was standing up in some placed. Bobby then popped up. He was tucking in his shirt and buttoning his top buttons.
They then arrived at the dock. The two men whom Bobby vaguely remembered looked like deer in headlights. They docked them without saying a word. Bobby and Alex got out of the boat quickly and said a short thanks before practically running away.
When they were finally far enough away they finally stopped and turned to each other. They were both beaming.
"Oh my God, that was so great." Alex said.
"Ahh, I know. I'm so glad I don't really remember those two." Bobby added.
Mike and Karla then strolled up. Their smiled diminished a little.
"Hey Mike, Karla." Alex said.
"Hi guys." Karla said.
"We were just wondering if you guys were going to dinner tonight." Mike asked.
"Oh." Bobby and Alex looked at each other. "Um, I don't think so. I think we're going to get room service." Bobby said putting his arm around Alex's waist.
"Okay, we'll see you later then?" Karla asked.
"Uh, yeah. Bye." Alex told them. When they walked away she turned back to Bobby. "What is with them? Why do they need to know everything that we do? Really."
"I don't know. But it is getting quite annoying." Bobby said.
"Mmm." Alex agreed. Her stomach then growled. "This thing never shuts up. I guess I could go for some dinner."
Xxx
When their food had finally arrived they sat at the small table in their room and ate in a comfortable silence.
When they were almost done with their food there was a knock at the door. "Bobby? Alex?" Karla's voice wavered through the door.
"Do they ever give up?" Alex said angrily.
"Guess not." Bobby said dryly.
The doorknob jiggled. "Shit." Alex said. She flew across the table and dragged Bobby up to her in a hard kiss. She was working on making their way over to the bed when she slipped her tongue into his mouth. The door creaked open and the back of Bobby's legs hit the bed. Alex gave a little push and they both fell on top of the bed.
"Hell- Oh, sorry." Karla said quickly and slipped back out.
Alex and Bobby pulled apart. Alex was on top of Bobby. She quickly rolled off and stood up. She began pacing.
"Oh, Bobby I'm so sorry. I just couldn't-"
"Eames." Bobby tried to cut her off.
"Think of anything else to do. And I mean-"
"Eames." Bobby tried again.
"You did it too, but what I did was too much."
"Alex! You're rambling!" It's fine. I understand. I don't really care, anyway." Bobby told her.
"Okay… okay." Alex said slowing down her pacing.
"Let's get some sleep. If you want to, we can talk about this in the morning." Bobby said softly.
"Okay."
They climbed into bed. They didn't stay on the extreme ends of the bed. They eased themselves so they were just barely touching, then they fell asleep.
