The past few days had been quiet an uneventful. Maggie had no cases and neither did the DEO and so Alex and Maggie had plenty time to spend together. And Maggie had the perfect idea for how to spend that time.
"Babe?" Alex slowly moved her head up from Maggie's chest to look the brunette into her deep and beautiful eyes. "Yeah?"
"I was thinking that maybe we could go on a vacation?" Alex's face lit up at the idea of a vacation especially at the idea of a vacation with Maggie. Alex couldn't remember the last time she had taken time off work. In the past, she never really had a reason to. All her relationships never got enough to go on a vacation because they never felt right and so Alex would break them off. And with Alex also being Alex she never took time off for herself.
"Yeah! Where to?"
"Well, you remember Brooke?" Alex lightly nodded.
"She has a vacation house in Hawaii and I'm sure I could get us in?" A huge smile came over Alex's face as Maggie said Hawaii. "Yeah, that sounds amazing."
"Good, I'll go give her a call." Maggie got up and went to the balcony.
"Maggie, hey! How are you?"
"I'm good, actually great Brooke. What about you?"
"Good but busy, that's actually why I've not been able to call recently."
"Aw don't worry about it, I get it."
"You still got that girlfriend of yours?"
"Actually yes, I do." A huge smile formed on Maggie's face.
"Wow, she must really like you if she's lasted this long." Maggie laughed.
"Yeah she must." The small brunette turned around and looked at her girlfriend who was simply lying on the couch with a smile. "Brooke, you do remember you owe me a favour, right?"
"Sadly, I do yes, what do you want?"
"Do you think Alex and I can come over and stay at yours for about a week?"
"Of course! We haven't seen each other in ages and I want to meet this lady of yours. Text me the dates and I'll make sure to save you a room."
"Thanks, Brooke, you're amazing."
"Yeah I know." Maggie could tell Brooke had a smug smile on her face. "Sorry Maggie but I gotta go, I have new guest arriving but I guess I'll see you soon."
"Yeah, see you soon." Maggie walked back into the apartment with a huge smile on her face. "Well we're going to Hawaii."
Within the next two days the two got a week off work and flew to Hawaii. Alex was beyond excited. This was the first time she would be taking a vacation with someone she could imagine spending her life with.
"Maggie!" A taller brunette ran from the front of what looked like a cute small hotel towards Maggie. Maggie had told Alex about Brooke before; she had been friends with her for as long as she could remember. Maggie also told Brooke a lot about Alex when they started dating.
"Oh my god, Brooke!" The two immediately crashed into a hug. Alex had never seen Maggie so comfortable with someone apart from herself. As the two pulled away Brooke kept her eyes on Alex.
"And you must be the girlfriend, I'm Brooke."
"Alex." The two shook hands and smiled.
"I've heard a lot about you, it's great to finally meet the woman that Maggie is crazy about." Alex blushed a bit. "It's great to meet you too."
Brooke quickly showed the two to the best room she had. It was huge and had an amazing balcony which overlooked the beach which was just outside of the hotel. Alex felt as though she was in paradise. As she looked at the waves she couldn't stop thinking about surfing, one of her hidden talents. After the two unpacked Alex couldn't stop herself from asking.
"Can we please go surfing? I haven't done it in years!" Alex begged with her puppies which made Maggie melt.
"You can surf?" The small brunette's eyes widened in surprise.
"Yeah, why do you sound so surprised?"
"I just- you never told me." A smirk appeared on Maggie's face. "You that's actually really hot."
"Yeah?" The same smirk appeared on Alex's face as she walked towards her girlfriend.
"Yeah." The two kissed and Maggie had a great idea. "How about you surf and I watch?"
"Deal." Alex smiled like a little child who was just about to get their favourite toy; Maggie thought it was beyond adorable.
Maggie sat on the warm beach and admired her girlfriend as she rode the waves. Maggie had to admit Alex pretty damn good. She was so amazed by her that she hadn't even noticed that Brooke had sat down beside her.
"Alex seems really nice."
"Yeah, she is."
"You're crazy about her, I have never ever seen you look at any of your past girlfriends the way you look at her and you've not even been together that long."
"I know, she's just so different and amazing. After two weeks of dating I realised that I was falling in love with her."
"Tell me a bit more about her."
"She so smart and witty and funny and brave. She's a total badass but at the same time is so kind and caring. She can literally put a smile on anyone's face. She can't cook thought, she's a horrible cook." The two brunette's laughed. "I have never felt like this about anyone and I just love her so much."
"Yeah, I can tell. Don't fuck this up, Maggie. I saw the way she looks at you and she feels the exact same way."
"I promise I'll try my hardest not too but you know what I'm like."
"Maggie, you have been through a lot of tough stuff in your life, you have never been the reason to why all you past relationships failed-"
"Okay, I have to cut you off, my last girlfriend broke up with me because I quote 'I was hard headed, insensitive, obsessed with work and also border line sociopathic.' So-" Brooke laughed.
"You are none of those things, well actually maybe a bit obsessed with work but just a little bit." Maggie smiled.
"I'm scared that I'm going to ruin this, I can't imagine my life without her and I- I-"
"Maggie, she loves you and you love her which means you will fight for this relationship if a time ever comes that something goes wrong. You're a great girlfriend and trust me you will not ruin what you two have."
"Thanks." Maggie said with a smile.
"Anytime."
