Chapter 4
That night Alex entered Luigis to find the rest of CID already there. They were all there laughing and smiling. Totally care free and almost oblivious to their Manc Lion at the bar. Alex walked straight to him.
"Luigis a bottle of your finest scotch and a bottle of red for me please."
"Si." Luigis got their drinks and left them alone.
"Alex I don't want your sympathy." Gene said. He hadn't looked at her but remained staring at his empty glass.
"It's not sympathy, it's a drink. But if you don't want it." With that she picked up the bottle of scotch and moved it to one side out of his way.
"I didn't quite say that." He looked up and she saw a glint of a smile in his eyes. She picked up the scotch and poured him a large glass. He looked like he needed it. They both drank their drinks in silence, side by side facing the Bar. After what felt like hours Alex turned to Gene.
"So are you going to tell me what happened or not?"
Gene didn't answer, just stayed facing forward.
"Gene you're going to have to tell me if I am going to help." She placed her hand on his, and with that he turned his head to face her.
"Not here. Not with them listening" He turned to his team to find them unaware of their conversation.
"My place it is then." Alex finished her drink in one, picked up the wine and scotch and headed for the door. At the bottom of the stairs she turned to see if Gene was following to find him right behind her. Her face was just centimetres from hers. There she saw his eyes flick from her eyes to her lips and back. He began to close the gap between them.
This is it Alex. It's now or never.
Their lips were just about touching. Alex closed her eyes and waited.
Ohhh how mean of me. You won't have to wait too long till the next chapter. Please review.
