The smell of bacon and egg filled the air. Alex and Tom sat patiently round the table, waiting for Hal to finish cooking. Alex's stomach grumbled and Hal couldn't help but giggle like a little girl.
"Someones hungry" Hal proclaimed, much to Alex's amusement. Placing two plates in front of Tom and Alex, Hal sat down between them.
"Like you wouldn't believe," Alex replied, smiling at him.
The time struck half past 9 and Tom scurried out to work, Hal staying behind as he wasn't working that day. An awkward silence hung in the air as Hal and Alex both sat in the living room of Honolulu Heights. No one stirred. The only sounds emanating were the occasional awkward coughs.
"Hal, can i ask you something?" Alex broke the silence, sounding slightly worried but inquisitive. "Is this how we are going to be every time we are alone?" Hal looked at her confused. He thought they were having a quiet day in, watching the television.
"Um I am not entirely sure. Courting has not been my forte for quite a while. " Hal replied, a look of concern overwhelmed his face.
"Hal..." Alex moved closer to him, her tone of voice deadly flat.
"Alex.."
She edged ever closer to him, she placed a lone hand on his chest, kissing him gently. Racing, his heart rate had sped up; he needed her but that would be rude. Or did she want this? Things were so much easier when "he" was around. Sex then death. No strings attached.
His fingers against her smooth hips and his longing becoming more desperate, he kissed her hungrily. His tongue brushing against hers, he writhed against her.
Pulling away, she rested her forehead on his. "Wow" she exclaimed. With a tone of voice that could only be described as described, she implored, "Now you can't keep me waiting Hal, really."
Agreeing with her, he nodded his head. "well then, follow me."
