"This was delicious, Alex! But I'm so full, I can't eat another bite." Norma told him pushing her plate away from her.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it. So you've never been here before?" He asked.

"No. Thanks for taking me." She took a sip of her wine.

"Do you want another ?" Alex couldn't stop staring at her the entire dinner.

"We can have another at home," she insisted.

"Okay. Let's get home then."

Rebecca was sitting in her car at the restaurant waiting for Alex to come out. She saw the woman he was with and instantly she was filled with anger. She wanted to rip out the blonde hair of the woman he was with. She tried hiding her car by parking it in-between two pick up trucks. She saw them walk to the truck and started her car. She waited for them to pull out and then began to follow them.

"I just have to stop at my place for a minute to grab something." Alex told Norma as he drove them down the road.

He reached over to grab her hand placing his fingers in between hers. "Okay." She answered him and smiled.

They pulled up to Alex's house. "Wait here, I'll be right back." He told her and got out of the truck and went inside. Norma looked over and saw a car pulling in alongside of the driver's side of the SUV. She could see a woman...

Rebecca got out of her car and started to head to Norma's side of the truck. Norma was out of the truck before she got there.

"Hello! I'm, uh, Rebecca. It's so nice to meet you!!" Rebecca said sounding sarcastic.

"I'm sorry, do I know you?" Norma asked confused.

"What are you doing here?" Alex had stepped out his front door to find the two.

"Aren't you going to introduce me to your new girlfriend? Or whatever the hell she is to you, I don't have a clue!" Rebecca laughed.

Alex walked over to Norma and placed his arm around her back, ignoring Rebecca. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." She looked back to Rebecca who had her arms crossed over her chest.

"You need to leave." He told her.

"Did Alex mention to you that he was already seeing someone?" She took a few steps closer to them. "He just uses people, I hope you know that. He's just going to use you like he used me."

Norma looked to Alex. She was getting angry now. She left Alex behind her and walked to face Rebecca. "Oh yeah and what are you, his little stalker?" She laughed. "Seems to me Alex doesn't want you here. So maybe you should be getting your ass back into your car and going to find somebody else to stalk?"

Alex could tell Norma had enough. He walked over to them. "I'm going to ask you one more time, Rebecca. Get off my property!"

"Or what? Are you going to arrest me? Get your handcuffs out! I know you would like that," she said laughing.

Norma rolled her eyes. "I think it would be in your best interest to get the HELL out of here!" She screamed into her face.

"You should listen to her," Alex told her.

She then reached into her purse and pulled the key to his house out. She threw it down to the ground Infront of Norma.

"I guess you'll be needing this now," she said and started to walk to her car. She got in and took one last glance over at them watching her.

Norma looked down at the key then looked over to Alex. "I'm going to use the bathroom." She went inside.

Alex shook his head. What the hell was this girl thinking, coming here like that? And following him? He had no idea she was going to get crazy. They were just sleeping together, nothing more. Rebecca knew that is was nothing more too. He then slowly walked into his house. He waited for Norma to come out and sat down on the couch.

Norma stared at herself for a while in the mirror. What the hell was that about? Was Alex not who she thought he was? No, that girl was just crazy. She was trying to convince herself. She didn't have anything to worry about when it came to Alex...so she thought. There was always the possibility that she was wrong about him. She's been through so much in her life, it wouldnt surprise her if Rebecca's words were true. She shook her head. What was she thinking? She knows Alex. He would never hurt her. She put herself together and opened the bathroom door.

Alex stood up from the couch and walked over to her. "I'm really sorry about that. Her and I were never serious, she's lying..." He started to explain. "She's mad because I ended things with her."

She seemed a little unsure and raised her eye brows at him.

"We would see each other sometimes. That's it." He grabbed her hand and led her over to the couch. He sat down next to her and reached into his pocket pulling out a little black box. "I wanted to grab this for you," he opened the box showing her the ring. Norma's eyes widened at the sight of it. It was beautiful.

"It's beautiful," she looked up from the ring to look into his eyes. "I can't believe your giving me this. No one has ever done anything like this for me before." She looked like she was going to cry.

"I am sorry the night ended this way, I wanted to take you back home and make it perfect. It got all screwed up..." He was disappointed. He wanted to make it special.

"No, it's perfect...you are perfect, it's all so wonderful I don't know how to react. I don't even know what to say, Alex. I can't believe you would do this for me." She looked back down to the ring looking a little sad.

He was confused. He wanted to make her happy more than anything. He never in his life would've imagined ever feeling this way about someone. Until he met Norma...

"So, what's the matter then?"

She closed her eyes and let out a deep breath. "Nothing. I'm sorry, I'm just...I don't know...I feel like too much is going on with Norman, my brother, and now you...you are here and you're saving me, and your just making everything better, but I want to know that you really want this, I don't want to be forcing you into anything."

"Does it really seem like that to you?"

"No," she paused. "But your ex," he stopped her from saying another word.

"She isn't my ex. We were never together, Norma. It wasn't like that. Do you really think I would be here with you right now if it weren't true? Or even doing this, with you, right now?" He was hurt thinking Norma could think this. Rebecca screwed everything up. He wanted to erase everything about that woman. She meant nothing to him. She might have had feelings for Alex...but he never felt that way about her.

Norma wiped a tear from her cheek and sniffled. Alex placed a hand to her face rubbing her cheek softly. "Listen, I don't know how, or when it happened, but I love you. I love you and I want to spend the rest of my days with you. You can choose to believe that, and trust me, or not...it's up to you." He then closed the box shut and placed it on the coffee table next to them. He made his way to the kitchen and grabbed the bottle of Scotch and poured himself a drink.

Norma got up from the couch and walked to the kitchen. He was angry and she could tell. Maybe not at her, but at that woman. At the way the night had gone, when he tried everything to make it great for her. He drank his drink and placed it down on the counter. He was starting to feel heated so he grabbed his shirt and lifted it up over his head, throwing it down to the floor. He poured himself another and leaned back against the counter. He looked over and his eyes met Norma's. She could see the pain in his eyes. She slowly made her way over to him, now she stood inches away, directly in front of him. She placed her hands onto his chest. She could feel the heat radiating off his body onto her hands. She then moved even closer and rested her head on his shoulder. He reached his hand out to place it on back of her head. She lifted her head up and started to kiss him on the neck, light and slow kisses. She made her way to his chin and stopped before she reached his lips. "I'm sorry," she reached her hand up to wrap it around his neck. He placed his hand on top hers and held onto it tight, pushing it deeper into him and intertwining their fingers.

"I trust you," she told him as she kissed the corner of his lips. Her other hand now running through his hair.

He was aching for her. He forced his lips on to hers and kissed her hard. Their lips still molding together, Alex then turned them around and lifted her up onto the kitchen counter, knocking over his glass in the process, it fell to the floor and shattered. His hands were now on the bare skin of her thighs below her dress. He started to gently squeeze them and made his way underneath her dress, lifting it up along with his hands. Norma digging her fingers into his back, then reached down and started to unbutton his pants and letting them fall to the floor. His kisses moved from her lips to her neck and then to her shoulder. She tasted so good. He wanted all of her...nothing else mattered in his world but her. She moaned into his ear as he made his way into her. She held onto him tightly pulling him deeper inside her. Nothing had ever felt more perfect than him. Then them. Together. He pushed himself into her slowly and his lips found hers again, his hand holding onto the back of her head and gripping her hair gently and holding onto it in his hand. He never wanted to stop. They separated for air, their faces still together. "Alex," her voice was weak, she could barely breathe. "I love you." He covered her mouth with his again, kissing her passionately after he heard her words and kept on pushing inside her. He was so wrapped up in her he couldn't even speak.
