When they reached the top of the stairs she let go of his hand and started to run away from him into the bedroom. She plopped herself onto the bed so she was sitting on the edge. He ran after her and walked to stand infront of her. He placed his hands on her knees separating them so he could move closer. She was smirking at him.

"You think you're funny? Why you playing games with me?" He moved some of her hair from her face.

She let out a giggle. "You started it."

"I didn't start anything." He leaned in closer to her looking down to her lips.

"We should probably get some sleep..." She mocked him.

He moved in as close as he could get without touching anything but her thighs that his hands were already grasping. "What are you--" her eyes now found his lips. "Doing?"

"I'm getting ready for bed. We're going to sleep right?" She could feel his hot breath on her face. She wanted to play games, he knew how to play them to. He started to move his one hand up her leg slowly, making his way up her body. Over her stomach, over her breasts. Then from her chest to her neck. Sliding his hand over to her shoulder, he then gently moved her head to one side and leaned in to place his lips onto her neck, kissing it lightly. Leaning back now, she reached her arm around him to grab the back of his neck, holding herself up. He pushed into her with some force, making her lay on her back but not hurting her in any way. Holding himself up above her so he could look down into her beautiful blue eyes staring back at him.

"I don't want to fight with you, Norma." He wasn't acting playful anymore, now he was serious. He didn't want her to be upset with him.

Her eyes were glossy looking. She knew he was just being caring, but she took it as rejection. Maybe she just wasn't used to having someone like Alex. She smiled and ran her fingers down his cheek. "We aren't fighting." She told him and pulled him closer, bringing his lips to hers. He returned her kiss then pulled away shortly to tell her. "I want you always."

She melted at his words and reached for his face to bring it back to her instantly. She held onto his face while looking into his eyes. "I don't know what I did to deserve you, but you are the greatest thing that's ever happened to me."

"You deserve the entire world, I will prove it to you for the rest of our lives, if you let me."

She ran her hand down the side of his face and her fingers to his lips. She leaned up a bit to touch his lips with hers. She wanted this moment to last forever. This was all so new to Norma, she is still getting used to having someone like Alex. She was in love with him and he was in love with her. None of the other men in her life could ever compare to Alex.

"I love you so very much, Alex." Her eyes started to fill with tears.

He looked at her watery eyes and kissed her on the cheek. "Please don't leave me. Ever." She spoke to him quietly, closing her eyes.

"I love you too, Norma. I'm never going to leave you, why would you think that?"

She let out a deep breath grabbing his hand into hers, gripping it so tightly like she never wanted to let it go. She shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know..." Her voice filled with sadness and sounding somewhat shakey.

"It seems as if you've been through a tough time in your life time, I don't know all of the details but I am here, and I am here to stay." He squeezed her hand a bit tighter and kissed her a soft kiss onto her forehead.

"I need you to make love to me." She breathed the words to him.

Alex didn't need anymore than that to allow himself to her body and feel okay that she was alright. He placed his lips gently onto her cheek, then over to her lips with a bit more force. She wrapped her arms around his back, bringing him as close as she could get him onto her body. He parted from her lips and moved to her neck giving her sweet and slow kisses down to her shoulders. He reached his hands down to her thighs and then up her nightgown she had been wearing. He could hear her sweet moans from her throat. Her moans would always drive him insane. He loved to hear them. Norma's hands then found his pants and pushed them down for him. He helped her take them all the way off and rested himself back onto her. Before he even knew it she had made it so he was inside her already. He pushed inside her slowly and gently. He ran his fingers through her hair and held onto her head softly from behind, keeping it in place for him directly in front of his. He could feel her hot breathing on his lips. He opened his eyes to see her face, beautiful looking and somewhat sweaty. He loved looking at her, he could stare at her forever. He took his hand and placed it onto her face, wiping away some beads of sweat, then placed his lips onto her cheek. She moaned for him and then quickly moved her lips to cover his mouth. Kissing her back and moving inside her, he held onto her tightly. Alex has never felt this kind of connection with anybody before, it was different. Norma was different. It felt like they were the only two people in the world, especially when they made love.

The next morning Alex had woke up before Norma. He took a shower and walked back out to the bedroom with his towel on. He sat down on the bed next to her, watching her sleeping so peacefully. He moved a strand of hair from her face. He didn't want to wake her, so he decided to let her sleep. He got up from the bed and went to grab his clothes to get changed and ready for work. He wanted to call the justice of the peace today to see what he could do about having him come to the house for a small ceremony he had been planning as a surprise for Norma. He didn't really know the first thing about planning a wedding ceremony but he would figure out something. Somehow he would make this work. As he was putting on his belt he heard some groaning behind him.

"Alex?" Norma called for him.

He took a few steps back to the bed. "Good morning." He smiled.

"Morning," she sounded sleepy. "Your leaving? What time is it?"

"Just getting ready for work. It's a little after 8." He told her. "How did you sleep?"

"Hmm...not much I believe," she laughed.

"You should go back to sleep."

"Oh, no. I have to get down to the motel, Emma won't be in today. But, I'll be fine." She told him sitting up now in bed. "Do you want me to make you some breakfast before you go to work? You must be hungry."

"No, no, it's fine. I will grab something on my way. You do what you need to do. I'll see you later?" He held onto her hand rubbing it softly with this thumb.

"Okay, if you're sure." She smiled. "Have a nice day at work."

"If you need me, for anything, call me?" He told her.

"I will." She yawned. He leaned in to kiss her goodbye.

She watched him walk out the door. She needed to get up and get down to the motel. She sighed as she pulled the covers off of herself. All she really wanted to do was crawl back into bed with Alex's arms wrapped around hers and drift back off to sleep with him. But she had to wake up from her dreamland and get to work.

Norma got dressed and made her way to the motel. She had some room services to do. She went to the closet to grab her cleaning cart and get ready to start. She started to drag her cart down the pavement to the first room when she heard a voice behind her.

"Norma!"

Norma jumped a bit and turned around. "Emma! Hi sweetheart, how are you? I thought you weren't coming in today?"

"Yes, no, I mean, I just needed to pick up some books I left here the other night."

"Okay. Is everything okay?" Norma asked concerned.

"Yeah, yeah. Everything's good. Has Dylan been by?"

"No, he's been up at the cabin. I'm not sure when he's going to be back." Norma told him while unlocking the door to room 1.

Emma looked disappointed. "Okay, thanks Norma. I'll see you tomorrow then, when I come in for my shift."

Norma could see Emma was acting a bit strange but she just shrugged it off anyways. She was too exhausted to worry about anything other than getting the rooms cleaned right now. "Okay I'll see you tomorrow, Emma. Thanks." Emma turned around to open the office door to go grab her books.

She made her way through the rest of the rooms that needed cleaning.
