The birds chirped loudly and lively, annoying the sleepy General. His mako ears and his hungover state was quite painful. He grabbed the pillow underneath his head and covered his head with it, trying to block the chirps. He managed the muffle out the sounds. Genesis sighed in content and tried to resume his sleep. Memories slowly seeped into pretty head. He took off the pillow and looked to his right.

Yep! There she was. Her brown hair was sprawled over her pillow. She breathed softly, unaware of her state. Genesis tried his best not to freak out. What the hell was Alex doing in his bed?

"Doesn't necessarily mean we slept together." He rationalized. He lifted the covers and peeked. He let out a loud sigh. Yes it did. Her dress was on the floor along with his tux.

"Alex. Wake up." He nudged the brunette softly, gaining no response from her. "Alex get up!"

Alex fluttered her eyelids open. She gazed into his deep blue eyes. She looked around, confused. Why wasn't she in her own room? Why was Genesis laying next to her, only covered by white sheets? She finally understood, her eyes widening.

A shrill yell filled the air. The birds flew away, scared away by Alex's scream. Genesis covered his ears, scowling. She fell out of bed, hitting the floor with a thud.

"Did you really have to scream? Haven't you screamed enough last night?" Genesis mumbled as he massaged his head.

"What the hell!" She grabbed the sheets and covered herself and what remained of her dignity.

Genesis tugged back at the sheets angrily. They kept pulling onto the sheets until Genesis pulled a little too hard, pulling Alex onto him. Alex let out another scream, making Genesis' head feel about ready to explode.

"Close your eyes!" She exclaimed, grabbing a pillow with her left and putting it over his face while the other hand used the sheets to cover herself.

"Get off me! Damn woman!" Genesis' voice came out muffled underneath the pillow.

Alex dived for the floor and looked around for her clothes. She grabbed the bra from under the bed and found her panties next to his tux. She examined her dress and whined.

"You tore my dress off?" Her red dress was now a piece of red rags. She paid half of her month's paycheck on it. She looked around, desperate for some clothes.

"You were practically begging me to rip off that dress!" he retorted, praying she would shut up. Her voice really hurt his voice at that hour of the day. "Grab some clothes from the closet."

"This isn't happening." She mumbled and repeated to herself.

Sure enough, in his closet were some of Melinda's clothing. She put on a top and pair of her jeans. They were airtight on her but she needed something. With that, she grabbed her heels and ragged dress and ran out of his apartment, slamming the door behind her. Genesis winced from the loud noise, his head pounding.

It went better than Genesis imagined.


"One more screw up like this and you're fired. Understand?" Rufus growled at Alex, who nodded wearily. Her head was killing her and all the Pylenol in the world wasn't going to help. It was obviously not her fault the documents Rufus needed were typed up wrong. She didn't type them up. Lisa, the other slutty secretary, typed it up. Of course he wasn't going to yell at Lisa. She was too fine looking.

She left his office and returned to her desk. She would kill for a cup of coffee but she knew she wasn't going to get one real soon. She'd have to wait until lunch break. She had a rough morning. Alex still couldn't get over the fact that she slept with Genesis. She couldn't believe herself. How could she let him get her drunk? Why did she listen to him? Why did she let him touch her and feel her and… kiss her…?

Thoughts of him led to Melinda. No matter how much she hated that blonde woman, she couldn't help but feel guilty. It was her fault. She stole her boyfriend and made out with him in public. She felt the glares from the secretaries intensify that day. All eyes were on her. Another thought crossed her mind. Genesis had told her of some stupid ones who would get drunk and look disgraceful at the party. She shook her head, a disappointed look on her face. They were the one's who got drunk and acted like idiots.

Then again, she couldn't just say it was the alcohol that impacted all of her decisions. Drunk or not drunk, she could have stopped herself. But she didn't. She let herself go as far as she did. She had no one to blame but herself.

Genesis felt distracted. He just came back from a really short mission. It was easy too. Yet, he managed to injure his leg. He was distracted by his own thoughts and it left to him getting hurt. Sephiroth would never let him live it down. He knew Sephiroth would always tease him for getting hurt by a mutated chocobo.

Genesis couldn't help but think of her words the night before. She told him 'I love you.' How could he not ponder on her words. Did she really mean it or was it just in the heat of the passion? Her words echoed in his head.

How did he feel about her? There was something. He couldn't say it was just the alcohol. The alcohol played a major part but… there was more. He just didn't know what.

Genesis limped through the hallways, a scowl on his face. His head was still pounding and he had much weighing on his head.
