Love at Christmas - Chapter 8 - A romantic kiss and party gatecrashers
Alex's family happily approved of her getting an unanticipated ride towards the School gates in the Prime Minister's limousine. After she left with him, soft numerous murmurs and whispers circulated amongst themselves after certain flattering looks between herself and the PM became reasonably obvious to detect, they soon began to speculate whether she was positively smitten with the respected newly appointed PM.
Gene eagerly gazed at Alex whilst she blissfully sat beside him on the passenger seat of the limousine, uncertain and nervous about what to say to the beautiful woman currently returning an impressive heartwarming gaze towards him , he believed she was wishing he came closer towards her and genuinely romantically swept her off her feet . "Thanks for the Christmas Card it was lovely of you to leave one for me" the shyness within his eyes soon became crystal clear, the tenderness within his heart helped his confident words.
"You're welcome" Alex smiled, feeling wonderfully pleased and reassured matters between them seemed settled and flawless . "Look I'm sorry about the other day, I came in and he slinked towards me and there was a fire and he's the President of the United States and nothing happened. I promise Gene" She affectionately reached for his hands, holding them gently and placing them on her lap. "You see sometimes I just feel like a fool because I think about you all the time, I mean with what nearly happened with us before he asked you to get those papers for him, I had the meaningful feeling to kiss you and throw my arms around you right there and then. I guess now I think you're the man that I really..." Viv called out, informing the PM they'd arrived outside the gates of the School. Alex pulled him towards her, murmuring against his left ear "Love Gene" the only two sought after words she very much needed to tell him , moments later the softness within her irresistible voice sent his mind racing rapidly, he could not think correctly.
"Oh bugger, that erm.. really was around the corner" Gene looked honestly surprised as he wound down the panel window, indulging in having a glimpse of the school playground, where he discovered the school had only been situated more or less around the corner from where Alex and Molly lived.
"Erm"
As he sat up, a small heavy toy football clapper lightly knocked Gene on the head "Ow! Viv how many bloody times you should have put that silly toy thing away" Gene looked displeased and grumpy, as this reasonably wasn't helping matters, just simply making them marginally worse, he managed a lighthearted chuckle as he turned to face Alex once more "Well look I...I think I'd better not come in you know?, nobody wants some moody politician stealing the kids thunder." He felt it would be rather best if he made his way to leave and perhaps shared a goodnight kiss with Alex and then wished her a good evening at the School Production.
"No don't go, please come in, It'll be wonderful, us two sneaking around backstage, trying not to be caught out by the headmaster or headmistress" She compassionately requested, feeling that this special evening wasn't over for them just yet.
"No I'd...I'd better not, anyone who doesn't recognize me will probably mistake me for, a grumpy Genie and believe I've turned up at the wrong Play" Gene nervously suggested, nerves horribly getting the better of him. "But I will be very sorry, to drive away from you..." Alex giggled as she surprisingly came up with a last minute suggestion.
"Just Give me one second"

A wrapped up Chris, wearing his light blue wooly hat, Manchester City scarf walking together with Shaz. "Never been to a school play before, almost forgotten what school was actually like to be honest, all I really dreamt about becoming was a footballer, playing alongside the big Premiership footballers, like Rooney and Tevez" Chris anxiously admitted one of his childhood dreams which unfortunately he never managed to accomplish.
"Chris is being very mysterious tonight, tell me again where did you two meet?" One of Ray's smartly dressed drinking pals Terry from the pub, had a few mintes earlier bumped into them, as they had been walking along the pavement from the main high street.
Shaz and Chris both unashamedly panicked as soon Terry became vaguely fascinated on finding out, he constantly wondered in what thought-provoking way the young man had notably persuaded his date to accompany him to this play, a gentle sweet kiss on the lips or possibly bought box of chocolates, always unadulterated ways of winning a girl's heart.
"Erm..erm..." getting an answer out became a problematic challenge altogether. "We met in Starbucks over hot coffee, she inadvertently spilled a cappucino over my new blue shirt" Chris promptly concocted an fabricated story which evidently impressed her, as she desperately tried not to give the game away so obviously, tugging on his wrist playfully.

"No!, Alex" Gene confirmed he really wanted to leave straightaway, as she unwisely dragged him protesting throughout the backstage area.
"Come on in, we can watch from backstage" Alex won him over finally, convincing him nobody would see him.
"Look this has to be a very secret visit okay" Gene informed her, realizing he had to stay upright and polite.
"For crying out loud Gene stop being a dramatic worrier, this was my school anyway as well as Molly's. Besides I know my way around. Come on" She reached for his hand, holding it tenderly as they moved more around the backstage space. Frantically trying not to be spotted right away as they wandered down the near by deserted corridor. Gene smiled happily for a fleeting moment, considering that his eager eyes began to drift down towards her peachy bum whilst he walked behind her.
"Gene, what are you doing here, come to see my son performing?" Robert encountered the sneaky couple, standing towering before them, facing his surprised younger brother.
"Maybe" Gene answered, choosing not to say far too much. "So what are we doing for Christmas, am I coming to your luxury apartment in Ireland or are you thinking about bringing your family to Downing Street for Christmas Dinner?"
"Depends really, according to the weather reports, its forecast for heavy snow across Ireland, which means if we travel over there, we could supposedly be caught within it" Robert wasn't downright certain, he knew what previous Christmas Days were like when the family invited Gene over for the dinner every year after the Queen's speech.
"Christ stop stalling on your answer...Come to Downing Street, I might have your favourite cooked especially for you" Gene cleverly hinted as he soon began to feel bored with Robert's deliberate slow answers, as he sensibly believed he was deliberately trying to annoy him.
"Maybe we ought to catch up afterward" Robert was looking forward to catching up on what Gene's busy lifestyle, the elder brother simply could not remove his subtle eyes away from the good looking woman who was linking arms with his younger successful brother. "So you know you can find time of introducing your sexy girlfriend to me" he suggested by means of a knowing wide smile, grasping a hand out so she could shake it.
"Robert...ssssh, keep your bloody voice down" Gene actually desperately wanted to silence Robert for chatting, as he knew the older brother was an elegeant charmer in the company of any woman he had the pleasure of meeting.
"Relax I'll see you later for drinks then" Robert comfortingly grinned as he left them alone.

Geoff without a sound had slipped away from the extravagant celebration party for his Christmas number 1 and Take That's Party combined, all night he had felt left alone, isolated another way of describing this unique feeling, he assumed that any optimistic music manager would not know if they could keep hold of their artist after they have successfully achieved as many number ones as possible.
Derek began to feel this night which turned out to be excellent was soon starting to noticeably fizzle out, he wasn't extremely pleased to see John and Edward Grimes helping themselves to Orange Juice and Lemonade from the free bar. Wagner chatting to Aston and Marvin from JLS by the stage, an uninvited Katie Waissel desperately trying to gatecrash the party.
"Oh Edward, this is so amazing, us attending a Christmas Party for this year's number one selling artists, I wish Louis was here he'd be dancing on the bar singing and dancing to Gloria Gaynor songs all night, its such a shame he's still be busy with X Factor" John sighed sadly before tucking avidly tucking into a handful of Ready Salted Pringles.
"Hey John would it be amazing if we taught Derek to play Mario Kart, with our help he'll be unbeatable"
"Oh my God Edward that's such brilliant suggestion" John clapped his hands together excitedly.
"Oh my god John another totally brilliant suggestion, we should so fantastically style his hair, he'll so give us two thumbs up"
"Oh my god Edward another one, we should totally duet with him"
"Oh my god that would be awesome John, maybe he'll love singing All the Small Things our hit single from this year"
"Dear God who invited those two shit numpties" Wagner annoyingly shook his head from side to side in disbelief while he was still chatting to Aston from JLS." You know I love that man, maybe I ought to suggest me and him duet next year" he thoughtfully considered.
"Oh I'm not too sure Wagner, he'll be thinking of duetting with Cheryl Cole I reckon, its been rumoured since the day he announced his cover version of Stay Another Day" Aston answered, looking very awkward as he sipped on his drink, waiting for Marvin to rejoin him from the bar.
"Hey Mister Derek, I give you a song, a fabulous song on stage right now" Wagner suddenly disrupted the serentity of the cheerful party attendees, amusingly making his way to main stage, wanting to sing a festive song to enlighten the mood.
"Oh God no, please no" Derek tried to stop him, frantically waving his arms to distract the motivated Brazilian, whilst he tuned in a song on the karaoke machine, even Dannii Minogue wouldn't stop him as her face glowed pretty much like a Christmas Bauble while she chatted on the phone to her sister Kylie, who was still busy touring the UK.
"Tom Jones Sex Bomb" Wagner called out, Derek buried his hands over his eyes, wishing someone would hopefully shut him up.
"My Party is totally fucked, properly gone tits up, someone please save this night for me" Derek mumbled.
As the music began to start up, the socket that was connected to karaoke machine was pulled from the wall by a strong female hand "No one outstages me" a woman clarified by shouting from the crowd.
Wagner gasped "Oh my god what are you doing here. Don't steal my limelight from me"
"Oh Bloody Nonsense you more awful than Craig Revel Horwood and Simon Cowell combined"
Ann Widdecombe dressed in a blue feathered dress and matching feathered rounded hat had irately marched up from the crowded party attendees like a determined charging rhino, she was fairly engrossed on not letting Wagner upstage her altogether. A breathless Anton Du Beke followed after her and rushed onto the stage, "Ann you certainly dazzled those bouncers on the front door out there. It took me more than twenty minutes to convince them I'm not Bruce Forsyth's next replacement on next year's Strictly Come Dancing."
"Oh never mind them Anton, lets entertain this crowd by dancing to the American Tango" Ann waved her hand in front of his eyes and dismissed Anton from talking anymore. Anton sighed, not saying anything more and soon grasped her hand as he and her started dancing to American Tango.
Derek finally gave up, this party was becoming more of a celebrity circuit which he never exactly wanted.
A few minutes later, after challengingly trying to fight off Katie Waissel's advances, Derek safely made it to Geoff's house down the road.
"What the fuck are you doing here, thought you'd be dancing and getting pissed at Take That's Christmas Party" Geoff looked stunned to see Derek had gave up on staying the night at his celebration party.
"Well I was there for a minute or two maybe three but then I had an epiphany after legging it from Katie from the X Factor" Derek soon began to explain why he changed his mind.
"So what was this epiphany then" Geoff curiously asked.
"Erm..It was about Christmas" Derek answered, still struggling to think.
"And you realized it was all around did you" Geoff replied.
Derek continued what he wanted to say "No I realized that Christmas is the time to be with the people you love"
"Right"
"And I realized that by luck, anyway as dire chance and unfortunate fateful cockup would have it, here I am mid forties and without bloody knowing it, I've spent most of my life with a Peter Crouch lookalike manager and much as it ridiculously pains me to say and it might be that the people I love is in fact...You" Derek revealed, Geoff suspected his artist might be coming out, which shocked him.
"Derek are you properly pissed up to your this is a surprise" Geoff asked. " Five minutes at Take That's Christmas Party and you're as gay as a talking Parrot" He amused.
"No I'm serious here, I left my party first came back in when Take That arrived, I did admittedly get sozzled, I left after Ann Widdecombe and Anton Du Beke started dancing, god it was too much to bare , so I came here in order to hang out with you at ...Christmas. " Derek furthermore explained his reason. "Its been a honour" Derek admitted as he hugged the life out of Geoff.
"I feel bloody proud of you man" Geoff wiped a tear from his eye, Derek rolled his eyes.
"Oh Geoff don't be a proper prized prat. Come on lets get pissed and watch True Blood" Derek happily suggested while he tried to entangle himself from Geoff's enormous bear hug.

As the children participated in the School Production, Gene and Alex soon became overcome with passion for one another, he intimately gazed into her captivating sparkling eyes and soon realized he was feeling evermore drawn to them during every second he stared at her. They both moved in for the first proper kiss, he reached a hand towards her left cheek which consecutively ignited burning passion within her eyes. As their lips delightfully connected for the first time ever, he drew her warmly into his welcoming arms, instantly deepening their surprising breathtaking kiss. Alex teased his bottom lip with her playful tongue she opened her eyes and soon allowed it to wonder into his mouth.
"You're a great kisser Gene" She seductively murmured against his ear.
"Thank Alex" Gene smiled, unable to say nothing more. As they became lost in their overwhelming kiss, the curtains were drawn up and they found themselves on stage in front of the flabbergasted audience.
"Ah Right, so not quite as secret as we hoped. What do we do now?" Gene stuttered, looking frightened with stage fright.
"Smile. Little Bow and a friendly wave" Alex encouraged him with a nudge in the arm.
Gene chuckled and waved to the surprised audience but was encouragingly relieved as they applauded the couple. "I'v never been so self-conscious and red faced before but at least you know how much I care for you" he mumbled.
