Just a small chapter to get things going again, I'm very sorry that it took me forever to update, I've been suffering from writers block among other things. But hopefully i'm now back on track with weekly reviews, and it always helps to read the fantastic reviews that you people leave, thanks a million to those that still ask me about my stories and I hope that you all enjoy.
Alexis listened at he bedroom door, straining to hear what her father and Kate were whispering about.
The last thing she wanted was for her father to start an awkward conversation with her about the evenings events. She wouldn't know where to begin.
A few short hours ago she set out to celebrate New years eve with her father, his girlfriend, and a few of their other friends. She was looking forward to getting out of the house, and she only went then because her dad and gram said that they were worried about her, that they were afraid she was becoming depressed after her most recent breakup.
So she agreed, reluctantly, to attend the party, to shut them up. She had no idea what kind of night she was in for.
But boy, what a night she had, she smiled to herself. Climbing back into bed, and pulling the covers up around her. Hopefully Kate would keep her father occupied for the remainder of the night, so she could process what exactly had happened.
She could barely believe it had actually happened, their kiss at the party, him following her home. The mind blowing sex that had happened right there in her very own bed. She had always had a crush on the Irish detective, but never in a million years did she thing this would happen.
Kevin paid the taxi fair and climbed the stairs to his empty apartment. He couldn't wipe the grin from his face no matter how hard he tried.
He fumbled in his pocket and found his keys, unlocked the door and walked inside. He tossed his keys on the counter, shrugged off his jacket and placed it on the back of a chair, and walked into his bedroom.
Empting the contents of his pockets onto a bureau he loosened his tie and pulled it over his head.
He flopped in the corner chair and kicked off his shoes.
He had just had the best sex of his life, which baffled him, because technically they weren't a couple, not even dating.
If it hadn't been for the little kiss at the party he would have never had the nerve to follow her home, to apologize of course. He hadn't thought about Alexis that way, ever. But that's all he seemed to be able to think about on the cab ride to the loft. The softness of her lips, the was she smelt like cherry bark and almonds, the way his hand moulded to the contour of her lower back. By the time he had reached the loft his head was swimming.
When she opened the door, he couldn't control himself, there was no way that he could deny it, he wanted her, to kiss her to touch her, to devour her. She was only to willing to grant his every wish.
He reached for his phone and quickly found her number, wondering if she was still awake at this hour.
'Hey, I know that you're most likely asleep, but I just wanted to check in, make sure everything was cool with your dad and Kate.' he sent her a quick text. To his surprise she responded.
'Fine, I'm pretty sure they still think I'm sleeping'
'Lex, about tonight'
'Yeah, what about it?' she felt a nervousness in the pit of her stomach.
'It was nice'
Nice, what they had just done was nice. She thought she might be sick. Not only had she slept with her dad's best friend, said best friend was now trying to break it to her gently.
'Oh, I know what that means Detective'
'Wait, what, what are you talking about? What does nice imply?'
'Like at the end of a date, when the guy says, well its been nice, we should do this again sometime, and then the girl never hears from his again'
'Alexis, you over think the smallest thing, I meant nothing of the sort.'
She didn't know what to say, it certainly wasn't the first time that someone had accused her of over thinking, and her temper has gotten her into situations in the past.
'Fine'
'Fine, that's bull, and if I was there with you now I'd spank you for lying'
Kevin continued.
'We need to have coffee, tomorrow OK, we need to discuss this and figure out exactly what were doing here, because I like you'
His honesty caught her by surprise, but then again she was used to dealing with high school and collage boys, Detective Kevin Ryan was a grown man.
'Okay, that sounds good'
'Good, I will text you in the morning and we will go from there, now go to bed, you must be exhausted'
'Yeah, thanks to you'
'HAHAHA, I do what I can'
'You do it well'
'Night Lex'
'Night Kevin'
He stood up and walked into the adjoining bathroom, adjusting the water in the shower he quickly shed his clothes and hopped in.
He didn't know exactly what tomorrow held in store for him, but he knew that his future was looking brighter.
Alexis placed her phone gently on the bed side table, it actually sounded like Kevin wanted some kind of relationship with her. Would that actually work, she really enjoyed the evening that they had shared and she had to admit that the thought of being able to do that with him every night turned her on.
But as she heard Kate and her dad tiptoe past her room she couldn't help but wonder if it could actually work. Without her father killing Kevin.
She snuggled deeper under the covers and closed her eyes, she would love to be with Kevin, even if she had to do it behind her fathers back.
I hope you enjoyed this and please remember to Read and Review pretty please, review make me write faster, lol.
