Chapter Nineteen: Precious Memories
"Get up.." Alex said as she walked over to Kenzi and crossed her arms.
"No.." Kenzi pouted as she moved her arm from her face long enough to give a glare to the blonde.
"You wanna do this the hard way? Fine sweetheart.." Alex said as she leaned down and grabbed the sides of Kenzi's green leather jacket and lifting her off the ground with ease. Shocking the small Russian as she fought to gather her footing.
"What the hell?! Can't a girl get some warning!" Kenzi yelled as she dusted off her jacket.
"I said get up.. That was your warning" Alex said with a serious expression.
"Well no need for you to be yanking my ass up Alex!" Kenzi said in an annoyed tone as she threw a hateful glare to the older Ember.
"Well you're laying on your fucking ass moping and throwing a god damn pity party! What the hell is wrong with you right now? The Kenzi I know doesn't lay around and cry! She gets the fuck up and goes all Russian on some shit!" Alex yelled as she threw her hands in the air in frustration.
"What's wrong with me?! Gee, I don't know, I'm tired! I'm sore! And I just spent two hours getting the shit kicked out of me because I can't control my powers! All while you went off on a nice little walk through the meadow so don't be a bitch to me right now! I'm not in the mood!" Kenzi said as her eyes flashed red from her annoyance. In reality, Kenzi knew she was just in a bad mood and more frustrated with herself for doing so poorly and not being able to control her fire, but what Kenzi couldn't figure out is why Alex was being so cold.
"Aww, I'm sorry.. The baby fae's in a bad mood! Well why don't we all just let her lay back down and we'll prepare her funeral.. Get your shit together Kenzi! You are counting yourself out and giving up, it's more pathetic than not actually being able to use your power! You've been fae for three weeks.. You aren't going to have control over your powers yet, it takes time and a hell of a lot more than laying on the fucking dirt! So stop pouting and show me your god damn flames because I know damn well you can light that tight little ass up in flames!" Alex yelled as she walked up to Kenzi.
"Is it just me or is Kenzi seriously not hearing all the hints from Alex that she got her memories?" Bo said in a low voice as she smiled.
"I think she's too pissed to notice.." Tamsin whispered back with a grin.
"Back off Alex! Or so help me to the lord of the fae I will unleash a massive hot fiery Russian ass whooping on you!" Kenzi said as she let her red eyes beam.
"All talk and no action.." Alex said as she flashed her eyes red.
"You want action, I'll give you action bitch!" Kenzi said as she flicked her wrist and allowed the fire to start burning relentlessly in her palms.
"Please do babe.." Alex said with a smirk.
It was taking everything in Alex to not bust out laughing at how adorable Kenzi was.. All angry and cute. The blonde was just dying to run up and kiss Kenzi like she'd been dying too, but she also knew Kenzi was struggling with her powers, plus had been stressed and hurting from her rebirth. Kenzi needed to blow off some steam and get everything off her chance.. So what better way than to make her girlfriend mad just to surprise her after by letting her know she had her memories back. Alex grinned thinking about her ingenious plan to surprise Kenzi. The blonde's thoughts and excitement about her scheme to show Kenzi her memories were back was interrupted by a swift and flaming right hook, landing against her cheek and spinning her head around.
Alex glanced up and saw Tamsin and Bo both looking at her with their arms crossed and smiles plastered on their faces. Alex smirked and gave them a wink before turning back and letting her blue fire erupt from her hands as she threw a punch towards Kenzi, which the Russian easily dodged and brought her right hook at the blonde quickly and successfully hitting Alex across the face again.
"Oh this is going to be good…" Tamsin said with a laugh.
"So IS she trying to piss Kenzi off to get her to use her powers and show her she can control it right? Because if so she's not going to have to try very hard. Kenzi's got all types of Russian fury for her right now.." Bo said as she chuckled.
"This is weeks of sexually frustrated moms raging to the surface.. She's fighting like a champ right now, I'm proud" Tamsin said as she watched her sister take another punch, this one a flaming shot to the ribs.
"She's fired up right now.." Bo said as she winced when Kenzi took her burning red fire filled palms and blocked Alex's punch, landing a swift kick to the blonde's side.
"Should we get the fire extinguishers ready?" Trick asked as he looked curiously at Bo and Tamsin both shaking their head and giggling at the two Embers.
"I'm gonna go ahead and say yeah dude.." Acacia asked as she raised an eyebrow at the scene unfolding before them.
Alex wearing a bitchy smirk, and Kenzi, too infuriated to notice the subtle hints being thrown that Alex remembers everything. Kenzi's girlfriend was back, Bo and Tamsin knew this would be exactly what Kenzi needed to get through her Dawning and the Succubus and Valkyrie would FINALLY be able to have some time to themselves. Bo and Tamsin could tell Alex was holding back, but with the way Kenzi was fighting right now, it wouldn't have made that much of a difference. Kenzi was unleashing all the emotions she had been pinning up and her power felt greater than ever.
Alex threw a fiery blue punch to Kenzi's face, sending the small Russian tumbling backwards. Kenzi shot up quickly to her feet, ready for more. The power coursing through her veins was unbelievable. Kenzi didn't know what it was but at this moment she felt like she could control each aspect of her Ember abilities. Alex stood there with her blue flame filled hands balled up and ready to fight, throwing Kenzi a smirk that screamed bitch, it was the smirk that made Alex look like a mini Tamsin.
"Come on Sparky.." Alex said in a playful tone as she winked to the small Russian.
Kenzi took a few steps forward with an enormous grin on her face. Kenzi raised her hands up to her side, slowly walking towards the blonde, the baby Ember thrust her hands down and her entire body exploded with bright red flames. Kenzi's body was covered from head to toe in beaming red flames as she walked up to the blonde who was now smiling brightly before her, the look on Alex's face made Kenzi feel something flutter in her heart. Alex was looking at Kenzi with a look that Kenzi could almost swear she recognized from before, but she knew it couldn't be true. Alex closed her red eyes and clenched her fists as her body became covered in her unique bright blue fire so that now both of their bodies were in their true Ember forms covered all over with flames. Alex slowly took a step closer to Kenzi and the two were now standing there only a foot and half apart, both smiling and panting as they took each others powerful and enchanting fae forms in. Seeing how proud Alex was still looking at her made the rage wash away from Kenzi, and then it all seemed to click in her mind what the blonde had been doing.
"Was this your plan all along? Get me pissed to show me I can control my powers and have me go all full pyro so that I feel like a total hardcore badass who isn't going to get slaughtered in her Dawning?" Kenzi asked as she smiled wide.
"Actually, my plan was to get you pissed, show you that you can control your powers, have you go all pyro because you are a total hardcore badass who I know won't die in the Dawning and then do this.." Alex said as she reached up, grabbed each side of Kenzi's face and pulled the shocked Russian into her, clashing their lips together in a heated kiss that threw Kenzi's heart into shock as the sensation of those soft pink lips made her lose her breath.
Bo, Tamsin, Acacia and Trick all watched the encounter and Alex pull a fully lit pyro fae proud Kenzi into a heart stopping, emotional, and long overdue kiss. Bo couldn't help but smile, she knew how much Kenzi's been longing for this, how much she missed Alex, now Kenzi could finally be happy again. Bo leaned her head on Tamsin's shoulder, sighing at how cute the scene before them was. Tamsin looked down and grinned as she kissed Bo's forehead softly and wrapped her arm around the Succubus's back.
Tamsin heard sniffling coming from beside her and looked down at Bo raising an eyebrow, "Are you crying?" The Valkyrie asked with a giggle.
"Shut up.. Blame the hormones.." Bo said as she lifted her head and frowned as tears streamed down her face.
Tamsin just rolled her eyes, kissed Bo's lips softly and pulled the brunette back down to her shoulder.
"Come, let's give them a moment alone.." Trick said as he smiled and turned to walk away.
"The kid just may survive her Dawning after all.." Acacia said with a chuckle as she shook her head and followed Trick.
"Come on babe.. We'll let momz enjoy having her girlfriend back.." Tamsin said as she turned and held Bo into her side, walking towards the truck.
"Since Alex is back and Kenz will be obviously occupied with having her girlfriend back, does that mean I get my wife back?" Bo asked in a seductive tone as her eyes flashed blue.
"I take it my gorgeous girl and baby cakes are hungry?" Tamsin asked as she blushed and smiled.
"That.. And I've missed you Tamsin.." Bo said in a sweeter tone as her eyes returned to their brown.
Tamsin's face softened and she practically melted at the brunette's words.
"How about just you and me time tonight gorgeous?" Tamsin asked as she stopped walking and pulled Bo in front of her.
"I think we need it.. I want some alone time with just you.." Bo said as she wrapped her arms around Tamsin's neck.
"Then tonight consider my scheduled cleared for nothing but Bo and our baby time" Tamsin said leaning down and kissing Bo's perfectly soft and inviting lips.
Bo moaned and felt her heart start to race from the thought of finally a night with Tamsin.
The flames fell from both of their bodies, but the kiss didn't end. Alex was still holding on to Kenzi's face gently as she used her thumb to caress the Russian's cheek. Kenzi didn't know what was happening, all she knew was that Alex was kissing her, her girlfriend was kissing her, there was something about the way the blonde's lips felt against hers right now that made everything seem perfect.
After minutes of lost in each other's kisses, tongues roaming against one another and their lips molding together, the two finally broke the kiss as Alex rested her forehead on Kenzi's.
"Alex did you.. Do you.." Kenzi stammered in a broken voice as tears welled up in her eyes. Kenzi's ice green eyes were studying Alex's baby blues, praying she would get an answer, waiting to know if what she felt from that kiss was true… Was her girlfriend finally back to her?
"I've missed you babe.. God I love you so much Kenzi.." Alex whispered softly as she felt her own tears welling.
"Alex..You're back.." Kenzi breathed out in excitement as she lunged forward again, this time wrapping her arms around the blonde's neck tightly and jumping into the air locking her legs around the blonde's waist as she captured her girlfriend lips in another kiss that sent chills down both of their spines and gave them a rush of emotions that were unexplainable in this moment.
