About: Ashes To Ashes
Summary:
Alex Drake was sat at a table in Luigi's. Gene had let her leave before the rest of the team because she wanted to get showered and changed before they met up for drinks. The bottle of wine, that Luigi and kindly given her on the house, was already nearly empty and Alex was feelings the effects of the red liquid every time she moved. She held her head in her hands to try and fight off a wave of nausea, and she felt the presence of somebody sitting down beside her.
"Nice to see you again"
Alex looked up only to see James Summers looking back at her, she tried to stand up but he stopped her by taking hold of her arm and directing her back down onto her seat.
"Don't go" he spoke "I wanted to make up for what I did"
"You attacked me, you hurt me! You nearly tore me and Gene apart!"
"I'm sorry, I've changed...I promise you, I've gotten help"
"Again?" she sniggered "If you don't leave now then I'll tell Gene, he's been gunning to see you ever since what you did to me!"
Alex stood up quickly and tried to leave, stumbling slightly James took hold of her.
"Let me help you Alex, you're drunk"
She shook her head "No, I'm waiting for Gene...my Gene...the Gene Genie...the Manc Lion, my man! My hero!"
"So you and him are...?"
"Yes!" she smiled widely "Yes he's my Gene and I'm his..."
"Bolly?"
Alex laughed, as though she found the punch line to her own joke hilarious "Well I was going to say bitch but yeah I'm his Bolly too"
"I'm really sorry about everything Alex, if I could change how things happened then I would"
"It's alright"
"Come on Alex, let me help you get upstairs"
Alex held onto James as he helped her up the stairs and up towards her flat. Once outside the door, Alex leant against the wall and James took the key from her pocket to let Alex in.
"I'll be fine, really I will" Alex slurred "Thanks for bringing me home"
James nodded "Its fine, I know that I would feel really bad if I just left you on your own and something happened to you, especially after you've forgiven me"
Holding onto the door frame Alex began to sway, unsteady on her feet, before stepping forward and holding onto James's shoulders.
"I'm sorry" Alex mumbled "I'm terrible...and really, really drunk"
"I know you are" he replied, he turned around so that Alex was leaning against the wall again "I never stopped thinking about you Alex, never"
James pressed his lips against Alex's, she couldn't fight him off in her drunken stupor so submitted, letting him kiss and touch her as he manoeuvred her into the flat and shut the door...
