Two months later
After her ordeal Alex had been off for work for two months she had regularly had nightmares thinking back to the moment where Simon knocked her out cold in the basement. She had a vision of Molly sitting in the room in a white dress crying in the corner seeing her mum unconscious.
CID had been a quiet police station after the events Gene had hid himself away most of the time only saying a few words to Ray, Chris, Shaz and Viv. He had chosen to keep his distance from Alex allowing her time to recover now two months had past. He decided to visit her with Ray who bought her flowers.
As they arrived outside Luigi's in the Quattro Gene looked up to Alex's window the blinds were blowing around from the slight breeze of the wind. "Go on say you bought them it'll cheer her up" , Ray hounded him, as Gene eventually snatched them from his DS walking in to the flats making their way up the stairs.
Ray knocked at the door of her flat, she answered wearing a jumper and trousers, Gene felt he couldn't take his eyes away from her for a couple of minutes hearing Ray chuckling behind him "Earth to Guv wake up" waving his hands in Gene's face, he eventually snapped out of it walking in and sitting down on her couch.
"How you've been Drake? Its been quiet without ya in the station". She sighed telling them about the nightmares she'd been having. Gene looked concerned reassuring her that he "wouldn't let anyone else hurt as long as she stuck with him". She appreciated his reassurance of protecting her. He held her hand tight as Ray looked with interest "Ya know what I've just realised I'm suppose to be meeting Chris for Lunch" he whispered in Gene's ear "Tell her she needs to know".
Gene felt nervous and a bit embarrassed that his DS was giving him advice on telling Alex his feelings for her. Ray closed the door making his way down the stairs
"What's wrong Gene" looking puzzled at him. He felt nerves of sweat running down his brow wiping it way quickly.
"I'm just hungry got any food to eat", he held his hand to his head and mouth thinking to himself "damn it you bloody idiot why do you say that for tell her like Ray told you to".
She made him a ham and cheese sandwich as he took a bite of his sandwich, he continued to stare at her with his brown eyes , the beauty of her, her smile and elegance in front of him. Wanting to take her in his arms and show a romantic side of him that she had never seen before.
"Have you got to back to work" asking him "Erm no not really I can keep ya company if ya want" he stumbled over his words slightly , She moved closer to him on the couch as she leaned over to put the radio on. Her hand rested on his upper thigh pressing down.
"Hope you don't mind me putting the radio on" he nodded smiling back at her.
Looking at him she spoke from the heart telling Gene "I really appreciate that day you saved me from the car, you risked your life and became a hero , Gene Hunt you're one tough and lovely detective I'm so glad we're talking again after everything that's happened" finishing her sentence she surprised him with her question.
"Stay with me tonight Gene, hold me in your arms " her pleas surprised him "did she already know he loved her?" He rubbed her cheek with his fingers reassuring her he'd look after her for as long as possible.
"Where's the Guv got to?" Chris looked around noticing he had been gone for 4 hours. "Oh he's with DI Drake I mean I wouldn't disturb them as they've got a lot of catching up to do if you know what I mean" Ray hinted.
Night time had fell as the noise from down stairs in Luigi's became louder as the others where chatting away amongst themselves. Alex had made Gene tea Pie and chips his favourite. "That's very nice of ya Bolly to do me some tea" he took a bit chunk of it on his folk as she laughed out loud at the sight of him stuffing his face.
"What" he asked her with his mouth open, bits going everywhere on the floor . "Oh come here" she took a towel to wipe away the grease from around his mouth. She sat down next to him wiping the towel round his lips as he paused grabbing her hand yanking the towel away his eyes were full of passion and desire as he looked deep in to her's holding her waist with his other hand .
He began to speak as she stopped him putting her finger over his lips "Gene I know Ray told me don't be embarrassed about it"
"Ray told ya?" he pulled away, not looking happy. He stood up turning his head away from her. "So Ray's been here telling ya everything I told him to keep quiet about ". She stood up standing behind him.
She pulled him round to face her, putting her hand on his shoulder as he looked down to watch then looking back to face Alex. "Gene Hunt you're such an enigma you've always been a mystery to all of us but that's what I love about you" Jesus was she admitting her love for him as well it had reassured him in his mind that they had both realised after spending much time away from each other, that they both knew now that they needed and wanted each other more than ever after everything that had happened.
It had all happened so quick for Gene he thought but he didn't care he just wanted to be with her for a long time .
He held her in his arms her's wrapped around the back of his neck , resting his forehead on her's as the music played from the stereo some cheesy romantic song.
Closing his eyes listening to and watching the words playing in his heart and mind.
" And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever"
They eventually leaned to kiss each other's lips slowly holding one another tighter, it was a tender kiss that was leaving Gene's head spinning and losing his control as it grew passionate . Her hands ran through his hair ruffling it making his blond brownish hair messy.
He whispered in her ear his voice was gasping "Bols you're making my heart race so much can we go to bed now because ya giving me the horn" gasping his voice sounded so soft he pleaded not wanting to break the magic spell and heart warming and intimacy that overcame both of them
She led him to the bed as he followed never taking his eyes off her for one second.
A lovely end to this chapter. In the final chapter a wedding will be taking place but who's will it be.
