Chapter Five


The feeling of his thumb stroking her back was what ended up waking her up, waking her up from the deep sleep that she just had in his arms; the nice nap that she truly enjoyed simply due to the fact that she was in her loving boyfriend's arms as they cuddled up to each other in the comfort of their bed, something that she most certainly does love to say. Their bed. The bed that they share with each other as boyfriend and girlfriend. Oh, and that dream that she just had before waking up from her nap; now that was just perfect because it was of a life that she could only dream of having with Matt. A life that she loves the idea of more than anything in the entire world. And just what idea might that be? Well, it would be the idea of them having a child with each other; a beautiful baby boy to be precise. And his name? Nolan Matthew Casey. Or maybe it should be Noah, Alex isn't sure yet; all she knew was that she loved what she saw. What she got to admire during that dream. And that was the idea of the man of her dreams holding his family close.

Holding her and their future son, just like he is right now as they all cuddled up to each other on their first Christmas as a family, which is a timeline that she most certainly loves the idea of. But just what timeline is she talking about? Well, that would be when they would (hypothetically) have their first child. And just when might that be? Well, that would be in November 2014. That would be when they have a family, while also getting married next year. And the truth is, that timeline both makes her smile and terrifies her a bit due to the fact that it's a quick timeline. I mean, married within a year? Then a baby within two years? I mean, not that she would mind if that was the reality; because if it came true, then it would be her and Matt's dream come true. It would be everything that they've ever wanted, simply due to the fact that they would have everything they want in life: each other and a beautiful family. But that wasn't what she needed to concentrate on at the moment. Rather, that was telling Matt that she was awake this fine morning.

Not that her boyfriend seemed to care whether she was asleep or not, based on the action that he just did while she was (supposedly) sleeping at the moment. And just what action would that be? Well, it would be him fist-pumping while also yelling: "Touchdown!" And that could only mean one thing, her boyfriend is currently watching football as she slept in his arms; or, at least, while she WAS sleeping in his arms. Because that wasn't what she was doing anymore, she wasn't sleeping in his arms but was instead awake. Something that Matt only learned when she ran her hand up and down his chest while cuddling up to him, leaving a soft kiss on his chest in the process; an action that finally told her boyfriend what he needed to know, which would be that she was awake. And damn did Matt feel horrible when he finally felt Alex leave a soft kiss on his heart, as he thought that he woke her up. "Oh shit, sorry baby. Did I wake you up?" Turning her head to look up at her loving boyfriend, Alex shook her head as he didn't wake her up.

Rather, she was the one that woke up on her own terms; something that she always loves doing. "No, I woke up on my own. And that was fine, especially since I am so comfortable right now. I was just pretending to still be asleep as I don't want to move from this position." Wrapping his arm around Alex's back, Matt agreed as he held his beautiful girlfriend close to him, while also placing his hand on top of hers and turning his head to kiss her forehead. "Still, I apologize for what I did. I know that it probably wasn't the best thing to do while you were trying to get some sleep." Alex agreed with Matt as he told her that, well aware that was the case as she cuddled up to the man of her dreams and held him close to her. "Thanks baby. Now listen, I need to get up for a minute if you don't mind." Matt was confused as he heard Alex say that, as she just told him that she was comfortable. "Why? You literally just told me that you were comfortable." Alex agreed with Matt, as she most certainly is comfortable as she cuddles up to him in their bed.

But one thing that she needed to do; well, she can't do that in bed. Rather, she needs to go to the washroom to do it. "Not sure you want to have me go to the washroom all over you." Matt then realized what Alex had to do and agreed with her, as he most certainly does not want that to happen, which is why he just let her go and smiled as she slipped up his chest and kissed him softly. And damn did he love the feeling of Alex's soft lips on his. "I love you." Matt agreed with his girlfriend as she said that, smiling as he loves her too. "You need anything while you're in the washroom?" Getting up, Alex looked down at his shirt and snickered. "Well, I think I may have drooled on your shirt." Looking down too, Matt smiled as he noticed that too. And he had to say, it was quite adorable that she drooled on his shirt. "Awe, that's adorable." Alex looked at Matt as he said that, as she thought he was going a bit crazy. I mean, what man calls his girlfriend drooling on his shirt adorable? "You okay Matt, because that sounded weird." Matt agreed with Alex, smiling.

Because he most certainly is okay, he was just telling her the truth. "I'm just telling you the truth, that it was adorable and how I love you." Alex agreed with Matt, smiling as he said that. "And let me guess, it gives you an excuse to get changed again?" Matt smirked as Alex asked him that question. "Why, do you want me to get changed?" Alex smirked as she kissed Matt once more, as she wouldn't be opposed to him getting undressed again. As comfortable as she is with him wearing sweats, she's missed the skin-to-skin contact that she gets when he's wearing his tight boxers. And damn is him wearing those really tight boxers a real turn on. It's precisely what she wants right now, which is why she asked him to get undressed. "Strip while I'm gone." Matt agreed with Alex, while also asking her something in return. "I get you undressed." Alex shook her head. "Not happening." Matt smirked as he heard Alex say that, while watching as she got up and walked away to go to the washroom so that she can go (and also get undressed).

Meanwhile, Matt got up and smiled as he watched Alex walk away, while also swaying his hips. "Fuck, you are such a turn on!" Alex agreed with Matt, well aware that was the case. "Oh, you think this is a turn on? Just wait until I'm just wearing my lingerie for you." Matt agreed with Alex, well aware that was something that she was going to be wearing something very sexy for him when she's back from the washroom. "I still hate that I didn't get to see it when we were in the closet." Turning around and walking backwards, Alex watched as Matt took off his shirt for her. "You did get to look at me in my lingerie before I got in bed, so don't say that." Matt smirked, well aware that was the case. He was just doing it so that he could drive her nuts. "I know, I just like teasing you sometimes." Alex agreed with Matt, well aware that was something that he was doing; especially since he most certainly was doing that by wearing those sweats (which showed off his bulge quite well). "I have to say, I do love the sight of that bulge." Matt agreed, smirking.

After which, he decided to tease Alex some more. "And you're going to like it even more when I'm not wearing my sweats." Alex smirked, agreeing with Matt before (finally) turning around and walking away to go to the washroom. Meanwhile, Matt stripped down into his boxers so that he could be ready for when Alex got back from going to the washroom; and damn was he ready. Ready to cuddle up to the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. The woman he's proud to call his girlfriend and the woman he loves, the woman he can truly see himself marrying in the future. Hell, the only woman he can see himself marrying in the future, which is why he's really happy that he never married Hallie, as it makes things a lot easier for when he wants to marry Alex. After all, there won't be divorce proceedings to go through; nor will there be any problems with a horrible ex, who wants child support payment adjustments. Because if he knows one thing, that would've been his life had Hallie really been pregnant with their child.


Adjusting the lingerie that she was wearing for Matt in the washroom, Alex smirked due to the fact that she already knew just how much he was going to love the sight of her wearing this lingerie that she was wearing. The lingerie that he was going to run his hands all over, as they enjoyed each other in the comfort of their bed; and damn does she really love saying that, their bed. The bed that they're going to share with each other for the rest of their lives, the bed where they're going to make love to each other for the rest of their lives, and the bed where they're going to conceive their future children. God, just the idea of Matt being a father to their children makes her heart skip a beat; and the truth is, she's actually warming up to the idea of them naming their future son Matthew James Casey, Jr. She loves the idea of Matt having a mini-me who can follow in his footsteps, just like she wants to have a daughter to follow in her modelling (or design) footsteps. And yes, you heard that right. Design footsteps. Because, you see, this isn't Alex's only dream.

Modelling sexy lingerie for men to stare at isn't her only dream, as she has another dream; and that dream would be to someday design clothes that women can wear and enjoy. Clothes that can make all women feel beautiful, something that every woman should feel on a daily basis; just like they should always feel loved. And that's precisely how Alex feels whenever she's with Matt, she feels loved and extremely happy over the fact that they're finally together forever. They're in a permanent relationship that has so much potential, because there's nobody in their way of being happy with each other for the rest of their lives; they can just be happy and take it easy with each other. And that's precisely what Matt and Alex both want to do, especially Matt as he walked into the washroom so that he could admire just what his girlfriend was wearing for him. "Damn." Looking up at Matt in the mirror, Alex blushed as she could clearly see just how much Matt liked what she was wearing. "Really?" Matt agreed, smiling at his girlfriend as he loves this.

He loves the lingerie that she was wearing. "Remind me why we decided to put sweats on in the first place, when we were just going to get undressed?" Alex sighed as she looked at Matt. "Because I wanted to take a nap, while you took it easy and relaxed. We didn't want to risk it." Matt agreed with Alex, well aware that was the reason why they weren't wearing their undergarments all day. And the truth was, that made a lot of sense. It made sense to him just why they needed to wear their clothes rather than wear undergarments, but they can wear them now and that's more than okay with her; especially since she wants to feel Matt's hands all over her body, something that she just had a wet dream about. "Can I explain?" Confused as to what Alex was asking him, Matt made his way over to the woman he loves in their washroom. "What are you talking about babe?" Turning around, Alex sighed as she looked at the man she loves; while he made his way over to her and got nice and close to her, which is precisely what Alex wants right now anyways.

She wants to be nice and close to the man of her dreams, as she feels him run his hands all over her body, which is something that she wants to do as well due to the fact that her boyfriend is such a hunk, which is something that Matt is well aware of based on the way his girlfriend always looks at her. And now that he was close to her in the bathroom, he wrapped his arms around her and just held her close for a moment, while Alex put her hands on his abs while looking up at him. However, right when she was about to talk, Matt decided to do something; and that would be to pick her up in his arms and set her down on the edge of the counter. And she had to say, that was a real turn on. It was so damn sexy, and Alex is very happy that he just did that for her. "God, I am so glad that you just did that for me." Matt agreed with Alex, well aware that was the case as he stepped close to the woman he loves and cuddled up to her; while she put her hands on his chest and just relaxed with the gorgeous man she loves more than anything in the entire world.

After which, Matt put his hands on her legs and tugged her body right against his chest. "So, what do you need to tell me?" Putting her hands on Matt's chest, Alex stared into his eyes before moving to wrap her arms around his neck as a way to bring him closer, which is precisely what she achieved by doing so. She brought her boyfriend close to her. So close, that he was able to put his hands on her back and give her precisely what she wants at the moment. And that would be a sweet kiss that she most certainly was enjoying. "God, I love the feeling of you doing this for me." Matt agreed with Alex, well aware that was the case. But he was only doing this due to the fact that he wants her to be honest with him. "Babe, I want us to be open and honest with each other. You know that dishonesty killed my last relationship, so please be honest with me." Alex agreed with Matt, as that's her plan. "Hey, you never need to worry about that. I always plan on being honest with you babe." Matt agreed with Alex, smiling as he stepped close to her.

After which, he leaned in and kissed the woman he loves softly as he placed his hands on her back. "I love you." Alex agreed with Matt. "I love you too, and I want you to stay in this for a while." Matt agreed. "Explanation time?" Alex nodded, as that's precisely what time it was. It was time for her to give Matt the explanation she has to give him. "It's about the whole change of plans when it comes to what we're wearing in bed." Matt agreed. "Not that I need one, as I love you in lingerie." Alex sighed as she stared into Matt's eyes, hoping that he would humor her; and that's precisely what Matt plans on doing. "Hey, take a breath and relax. Let me guess, you want me to humor you?" Alex agreed, as that's precisely what she wants Matt to do. "Can you?" Stepping close to Alex again, Matt nodded as he most certainly can (and will) humor her. "Of course, babe, just talk to me and let me know what's on your mind beautiful." Smiling as she heard Matt call her beautiful, she motioned for him to get closer to her so that she could kiss him this morning.

And that's precisely what Matt did, he got close to her and put his hand on her neck before kissing her softly. "Is that what you want?" Alex agreed with Matt, as that was precisely what she wanted. She wants her man to take things slow with her, as they hold each other close and take it easy with each other; something that she's missed for a while. "Listen, I know this is going to sound crazy; but I missed you a lot. And I think what I need…it's time where we can make up the intimate time we lost with each other. The times where I could've slept in your arms at night and feel your hands all over my body." Matt agreed with Alex, smiling at the woman he loves; especially since that wasn't crazy whatsoever. If anything, it made complete sense; especially since he feels the same way. "Hey, I feel the same way babe. I feel that way too, because I want to be intimate with you. I've missed you babe, and I want to feel your hands all over my body. Your hands are the only hands that I want to feel all over my body." Alex agreed, smiling at Matt as she loves him.

She loves him more than anything, and she's incredibly proud to be the woman he loves. "I love you Matt." Matt agreed with Alex, well aware that was the case. "I love you too Alex, and I am so happy that we decided to get changed into this. I want to feel you all over me, because I want to take advantage of this time we have with each other." Alex was confused as she heard Matt say that. "What do you mean?" Matt smiled as he stepped close to her and put his hands on her sides, before tugging her body against his chest and leaning his forehead against hers; after which, he whispered to her. "I don't care if we have a baby before or after we get married, all that matters to me is that I have you in my life. Hell, we could never get married; and I would be a very happy man because I have you in my life." Alex laughed, as she felt the same way; at least about the baby, because she wants to have a kid with Matt as soon as possible. However, one thing this wasn't okay with was the idea of them never getting married; because that was her dream.

And she was going to tell him that. "Ok. I agree with you on ALMOST everything." Matt was confused as he heard Alex say that. "Almost." Alex agreed with Matt, smiling as she put her hands on his muscular chest. "The marriage thing. I understand that you want to wait as you just got out of an engagement, but you are going to be my husband someday. I'd be okay with us having kids before getting married, but I wouldn't be okay with us never getting married. And only one kid before we get married. If we have a kid, then we need to get married before you get another kid with me." Matt agreed, smiling at her. "Hey, at least we already have a wedding venue booked." Alex was confused. "We have three homes. We can either get married here, in Honolulu, or in California." Alex smiled, as she really liked those ideas. "Now, that's a bunch of nice options for wedding venues; but we need to do here." Matt was confused. "Well, we need to plan for here. What if your mom's parole conditions say that she can't leave the state?" Matt agreed.

After all, that was a possibility; that his mother's parole conditions say that she can't leave the state. "I know, I didn't think of that." Alex smiled, agreeing with the man she loves as she put her hand on the side of his face and kissing him softly. "God, I have no idea how you can do it Matt." Matt was confused as he heard Alex say that. "What are you talking about?" Alex sighed. "The mix of emotions that you need to deal with when it comes to your mom. I mean, she killed your father; but he was also very abusive to you, so she may have saved you." Matt sighed, agreeing with Alex; while also shutting down a bit. Something that Alex could see as she sat close to the man of her dreams. "You okay babe?" Matt sighed, shaking his head as he didn't think that he was okay at the moment. Rather, he had mixed emotions. "Can we talk about this in bed?" Alex agreed with Matt, as they most certainly can. They can always talk whenever he needs to talk to her. "Of course, babe." Matt agreed, kissing the woman he loves softly. "I love you."

Alex agreed, smiling as she loves her dreamy boyfriend too. And that's precisely why she's more than okay with the two of them talking, just as soon as they were in bed with each other once more; which is why Matt helped Alex down off the counter, before grabbing her hand and intertwining their fingers so that he could lead her back to bed. After all, that's exactly where they both need to be right now. They need to go back to bed, where they can hold each other close as they talk to one another about this topic more in depth. Because that most certainly is something that the two of them are going to talk about, just as soon as they're in bed.


Walking up to their bed shortly after making their way out of the washroom together, Matt and Alex both smiled due to the fact that they are more than ready to just cuddle up to each other as they talk and hold each other close. After all, that's precisely what they both want to do right now, as they were both wearing exactly what they want to wear for each other right now; Matt being in his boxers, while Alex was wearing some sexy lingerie for her dreamy boyfriend. The boyfriend who was currently standing very close to her, with his hand on her neck and his lips on hers as they took things nice and slow with each other. "I love you." Alex agreed with Matt, as she loves him too. "I love you too." Matt agreed, smiling as he took things nice and slow with the woman he loves. The woman of his dreams, Alexandra Jacobs. "God, and you are so damn sexy." Alex agreed with Matt, as she felt the same way about him as she wrapped her arms around his back and kissed him slowly. "So are you babe." Matt agreed, smiling at his gorgeous girlfriend.

After which, he opened the covers for her so that she could get in bed ahead of him. "After you, my dear." Alex agreed with Matt, smiling as she proceeded to climb into bed with Matt as they both got ready to cuddle up to each other and take it easy; which is exactly what they need to do with each other. After which, Matt got into bed with Alex too so that they could cuddle up to each other in bed as they held each other close while talking about his past, including the abuse he suffered at the hands of his father; which also includes his mother's parole. "So, I have two goals from this conversation." Alex agreed with Matt as he said that, smiling at him. "Of course, what are they?" Matt took a breath. "First, I want to give you a bit of background on my mom." Alex agreed, as she can't wait to learn about her some more. "Can't wait." Matt took a breath. "Good, because I want you to be prepared to make a decision." Alex was confused. "What are you talking about?" Matt sighed as he sat down on the edge of the bed, before grabbing Alex's hand. "I want you to be honest with me." Alex agreed.

"Would you be okay if my mom lives with us, if she's granted parole?"
