Chapter Six Perfect Again

Alex sighed as she set her fruity drink down. Sephiroth was too busy talking to the President and Rufus. It's not like Sephiroth wanted to engage the president in another boring conversation but he couldn't escape in time. Alex had excused herself, feeling out of place, and went to the mini bar set up in the corner. She was ultimately bored. Things got dull when her dance with Genesis ended. She hated to admit it to herself but he looked… nicer than usual. She frowned when she saw Melinda approaching Genesis slowly, her hips swinging, making her look even more seductive. She looked away as she took another gulp.

Alex was getting slightly dizzy from the drink but it was not enough. She ordered another fruity drink, one with a pink little umbrella on it. She stirred her drink with the umbrella and sipped on it.

She heard chuckle coming from behind her. She turned to see the redheaded Genesis smirking at her. She smiled back at him as he made his made way towards her.

"Feeling daring tonight?" he sarcastically remarked as he pointed to her weak drink.

"Absolutely." She responded by finishing off her strawberry flavored drink.

Genesis ordered himself a scotch, the caramel colored drink in a square shaped glass. He downed the drink in a few seconds, making Alex raise an eyebrow.

"I never knew you were much of a drinker." She remarked softly.

"I'm not but I do tend to drink more than usual at these parties. The parties they usually throw are just as lively as a senior retirement home."

"Or a Loveless play." She added with a giggle. Genesis frowned and mocked her laugh which he secretly adored.

"Where's Melinda?" Alexandra inquired, her head cocked sideways.

"Oh, she's talking with Scarlet. I left them both alone. I really don't understand why a matching purse is vital in a women's life." He grumbled as he ordered yet another drink.

Alex laughed loudly as she patted his shoulder. "It's a women thing. You would never understand."

"And I thank the Gods for that." He mumbled as he took a large swig of the scotch.

Alex snickered at his bad mood. He raised his eyes to meet her eyes. For some reason, Genesis' eyes seemed to shine more. She was trapped in his gaze and didn't even bother breaking it.

"May I ask why you are staring at me?" Genesis broke her gaze. Alex shook her head slowly, turning her head away from him.

"I was not." She defended lamely.

"Of course not." He snickered.

Alex ordered yet another drink, only to be stopped by Genesis.

"Give her some tonic." He interrupted her, earning a glare from the secretary

"I am not going to drink that." She snapped at the red head.

"Live a little. Are you afraid?" he mocked like a little kid.

"No! It's just that… I don't want to."

"Right…" he took the drink from the bartender and pushed it towards Alex.

"Fine." She growled as she drank the water colored drink. Genesis smirked widely as he watched her gulp down the strong drink.

Melinda laughed along with Scarlet. The woman was not as bad as some said she was. She bid her farewells and looked around the large area for Genesis. She felt pretty bad for getting caught up in her conversation with Scarlet and leaving Genesis by himself. She knew she could make it up to him… somehow.

What Melinda saw next made her stop in her tracks. Her breathing slowed and her figure drooped. She couldn't believe her bright green eyes.

There he was.

There he was with Alex in his lap.

There he was with Alex in his lap, making out with her.

Tears leaked from her eyes. A hand was firmly placed on her shoulder. It was Angeal, who wore a sympathetic look.

"What do I do now? Where do I go from here?" She asked him in a whisper.

"I'll take you to my apartment and we can figure out that tomorrow morning." He told her wisely. She nodded sadly, sniffling.

"Here are my car keys. Wait a few minutes in the car. I need a word with Sephiroth." Angeal handed her the keys to his ride and she stumbled out, feeling degraded. He sighed softly, knowing Genesis screwed up big time.

"Hmph. It was going to happen one way or another." A dark voice spoke behind him. Angeal turned to meet a very amused looking Sephiroth.

"You don't seem very mad." Angeal stated, a look of confusion on his face.

"I have no reason to be. The only reason I asked Alexandra in the first place was to screw with Genesis' head. It worked wonderfully. I've had my fun. It's time for his."

Angeal blinked, stunned by Sephiroth's proposition. He turned his head back, expecting to see Genesis and Alex but was met by two empty stools.

Alexandra and Genesis clumsily stumbled into the lavish apartment Genesis owned. Impatiently, he slammed the door with his right foot before hungrily attacking Alex with drunken kisses. His tongue explored her mouth, seeking out what he called 'satisfaction'. Whether it was the alcohol invading her mind or the lust fogging her senses with every kiss, she was definitely enjoying this. Her fingers entwined with auburn hair, pulling the poetic general closer. His hands roamed her body, lower than they should've. Alex gasped Genesis moved his lips to her neck.

Genesis entered his bedroom, Alex wrapped around him. Genesis carried her as he kissed her passionately. She kicked off her heels, each of them falling with a clunk. He inevitably tripped over the heels, falling right onto the bed, Alex right beneath him. She giggled even more, her face a beet red. Genesis licked his lips as he studied her.

Whether it was love or lust, there was no turning back.
