Since the story of Alex and Happy seem kinda' popular, I decided to continue writing about them. This won't be a full story, it will be snippets of their relationship. Some will be about important and defining moments in their story, while others will be about different domestic situations and not have such an important role. This one is about their first meeting. Let me know what you think.

Alex woke up by the bright sunrays hitting her face. Groaning she tried to sit up, but soon realized that was not going to happen as she looked down at the arm lazily draped around her waist.

Her gaze wandered up the arm, smiling slightly as she took in all the tattoos. Under the ink she saw tanned skin. As her gaze reached his face, she noticed his dark eyes were opened and trained on her. "Liking what you see?" he questioned with a smirk, his voice rough and raspy.

His voice sent shivers down Alex's spine, that kind of voice came from years of heavy drinking, smoking and partying. It was probably more raspy than usual since it was morning. "You don't look too bad, especially the ink" she stated as her eyes left his and wandered over his bare chest, down his mid-rift and to the sheets which barely covered the lower part of his body.

"Yeah, got that last night" the man said with a low chuckle.

Alex raised a perfectly waxed eyebrow at him. "Complimented your ink, huh?" she asked.

The man nodded with a smirk.

"I sucked your dick too, didn't I?" Alex asked as she dragged a hand through her long, black hair, which hung loosely around her face.

"Yeah" came the reply from the man.

Alex nodded as she threw her legs over the edge of the bed, settling her bare feet on the floor. "I'm gonna take a shower. You're welcome to join if you want, otherwise their coffee down stairs" Alex said as she glanced over her shoulder at the stranger lying in her bed before pushing herself off the bed and walking towards the bathroom.

The man watched as her narrow hips swayed back and forth as she walked, his eyes travelling over her smooth skin as she walked stark naked towards what he presumed was the bathroom.

A small smirk spread across Alex's full lips as she could hear his footsteps following behind her.

Alex poured herself a cup of coffee and took a sip before pouring a cup for her over-night guest. A smirk spread across her lips as she thought about the night before, and the following morning. He had most definitely been a good choice to bring home.

Even though she hadn't heard him approach, she could feel his presence. Turning around she held out of the cup of steaming hot coffee. "Thanks" the man rasped out as he took the cup from her hand and took a sip.

While Alex sat down by the small table, the man leaned against the counter. "You live here all alone?" the man questioned.

Alex nodded in response as she took another gulp of her coffee. If there was one thing she needed in the morning it was her beloved caffeine.

"It ain't the best neighbourhood" the man commented as he glanced at the street out the window.

"No it ain't, but it's my home. Born and raised" she replied.

The man nodded thoughtfully. "I get that" he said and glanced at the clock hanging obove the door opening. "I gotta' go" he said and poured the coffee that was left out in the sink and placed the cup there.

"A'ight" Alex stated, her voice casual, and pushed her up from the table.

The man raised his eyebrow in question.

"Gonna' lock the door, you said it yourself, it ain't the best neighbourhood" she commented.

He nodded almost approvingly and headed towards the door.

As he opened the door the sounds of shots being fired rang out through the air.

Alex acted purely on instinct and threw herself at the man, pushing him down to the floor.

As soon as they landed with a thump, he flipped them over to make sure that he was covering her petite frame with his body. That gesture lead Alex to make the conclusion that this was not the first time this happened to him.

As the bullet hit the windows, the glass shattered and fell all over them.

Finally it quieted down, and the man looked her up and down, probably to make sure she was not hit. "It's a'ight, I ain't hit" she reassured him as she pushed herself into a sitting position. "Can't say the same about your bike though" she stated as she glanced out the door opening.

While it wasn't completely damaged, the bike wasn't in the greatest condition either. "Jesus fucking Christ" the man muttered darkly at the sight of it.

"Welcome to Oak-town" Alex merely said.
