Hi Readers: And welcome to another day of chapters. Before we begin, I want to apologize for the late start; but I promise you this, I am determined to get some nice chapters out to you guys as we celebrate Matt and Alex's marriage with a nice dinner date at home.

Chapter Twelve

Part One: Cooking Again

He forgot how hard it was two bring two plates and two drinks downstairs to the basement living room, which is where Matt and Alex are planning on having their first date as husband and wife. The reason why they're doing in their basement living room? Well, it's more like a screening room; they just like to call it their living room due to the fact that it's where they always spend their days when they aren't in bed with each other. In bed, holding each other close as they take things nice and slow with each other. Oh, now that is pure paradise and precisely what Alex always wants when she gets a chance to take things nice and slow with the man of her dreams. But right now, that's not what she's going to do. Rather, she's just going to take it easy and relax with her husband, while also laughing a bit as he walked in with two plates and his entire front side wet. "Oh my god." Looking up at his wife as he carried their bowls of pasta, Matt shook his head as the last thing he wanted right now was to hear her laugh about the mess he just made on his way down. And just what mess might that be? Well, Matt thought it'd be a good idea for him to carry everything down at once (it wasn't).

So, rather than have two plates and two drinks in the living room right now, he instead only has his and Alex's plates in each of his hands. "Stupid me thought that I could carry both the plates, as well as the two drinks at the same time." Alex was horrified as she heard Matt say that, as it could only mean one thing. "Oh no." Matt nodded, as that was precisely what happened; he spilled the nice cups of water that he brought down for them. "Luckily, it's just water and nothing that can damage anything." Alex agreed with Matt as he said that, while also getting up and making her way over to Matt. "You do realize you could've called me to come up and help." Turning his head, Matt smiled as he looked at the screen. "I had a feeling that you were already watching a movie, and it seems like you already are." Alex agreed with Matt, as she most certainly is already watching a movie; a movie that can be paused should he need her help. And right now, that's precisely what her dreamy husband needs; he needs her help to get things set up for the two of them down here. So, she can do something in order to do that, which would be to pause the movie so that she can help her husband.

Anyways, she'd rather help her husband any day rather than have him spill all over their home. "Babe, I'd rather come and help you so that you don't spill all over our home; or heaven forbid, trip on one of the dogs." Taking a breath as he set the plates down, Matt just looked at Alex due to the fact that was precisely what happened; he ended up tripping on one of the dogs rather than call for help. "Oh no, you didn't." Matt nodded. "They seem to be okay. I tripped, and I think the pasta stayed in the bowls." That's when Alex turned her head and actually looked at the bowls that were currently in her hands, only for her to see that there was mostly sauce in there rather than noodles. "Uhm, babe. Not too sure we have any noodles actually in here." Walking up to Alex, Matt got worried as he went to check in the sauce; only to see that there were no noodles whatsoever in the bowls that he brought downstairs. "Oh, shit." Looking at his wife, Matt just got worried and took a breath due to the fact that their dogs can't eat human food, which is precisely why he just ran away so that he can go check on the dogs and make sure that they weren't eating human food, which they were.

Walking back upstairs with the bowls in her hands shortly after hearing Matt swear, Alex took a breath due to the fact that she could hear the frustration in her husband's voice right now. And not just the frustration, but the tears that were also coming out at the same time due to the fact that her husband seems to be having a bit of a hard time right now; the reason he was crying though? Well, she had no clue whatsoever why he was crying; but Alex was determined to find out as she made her way into the kitchen so that she could talk to her husband. "Hey, Matt. You okay?" Turning his head as he heard his wife ask him that question, Matt decided to lie as he wanted to make her believe that he was okay. "Yeah, I'm fine." Walking up to her husband, Alex shook her head as she could clearly tell that he was anything but fine. "Babe, you know that you're a horrible liar. We both know that. So, how about you turn around and look at me, tell me what's wrong?" Matt sighed as he turned to look at Alex. "What do you think Alex? I ruined our wedding night." Alex was shocked that Matt would even think that as she made her way over to him this evening, the evening of their wedding night.

The night where they start their lives as husband and wife, which most certainly cannot be ruined when this is everything that they've ever wanted in life; they've always wanted to be married, and now they are. "Babe, look at me and just take a breath." Turning his head as he watched Alex walk up to him, Matt proceeded to get close to her and just wrapped his arms around her; meanwhile, Alex put her hands on his arms and stroked them with her thumbs. "Hey, look into my eyes and concentrate on me baby." Matt agreeing, doing just that for the woman he loves; while she stepped close to him and put her hands on his face. After which, she leaned in and kissed the man of her dreams softly. "You want to know what makes this the best night of my life?" Matt agreed with Alex, as he most certainly does. "Tonight, is the best night of my life, because I'm married to the love of my life. Regardless of what happened, we're married Matt. That's something that makes me very happy." Matt agreed, as he felt the same way. Him being her husband is everything that he's ever wanted. And now, that's precisely what he is. He is Alexandra Marie Casey's one and only husband, forever.

And someday, he'll be the father of their children; children they will love and cherish every single day for the rest of their lives. But right now, he just wants to do one thing. And that would be to kiss the woman he loves, as they take things nice and slow with each other; something that Alex most certainly wants to do as well, especially when Matt picked her up in his arms and set her down on the edge of the counter. All the while, he continued to kiss her as he gave her precisely what she wants, the love and attention of her new husband. "God, you are so damn sexy as you kiss me like that Matt." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife as she said that, smirking as he ran his hands up her back as he took things nice and slow with her. "Listen, I'm going to need to make us some supper…again." Alex laughed as Matt said that, as that most certainly is not what he's going to do when he's all dirty like that. "Oh no, you are all dirty in these sweats. And that means that you need to change out of them if you want to cuddle up to me." Matt agreed with Alex, smiling as he tugged her body against his chest. "No shower, I just need to get undressed." Alex agreed, smiling.

She then leaned in and kissed the man of her dreams once more, while also feeling him wrap his arms around her back nice and tight as a way to keep her against his body. "You might as well get me dirty too then mister." Smirking, Matt agreed with Alex as he already knew what that meant; it meant that she was not going to be wearing sweats for long. So, he decided to just speed up the process and start getting his wife undressed for her. "No more sex." Matt agreed with his wife, as that's something that he can do for her. He can promise her that they don't have sex anymore, especially when that's the last thing that he wants right now. Rather, he just wants to take it easy and relax as he holds his gorgeous wife close to him. The woman he loves and craves more than anything, as they talk and just take it easy with each other. "What do you want for supper?" Alex laughed. "I'll order us something. You go upstairs and get comfortable in bed. I'll bring up some plates and we can eat in there." Matt was surprised. "You sure? I mean…" Stepping close to her husband, Alex smiled as she leaned in and kissed him softly. "Is that you questioning your wife?" Matt shook his head.

After all, he most certainly is not questioning his wife; the woman who can easily withhold sex from him at any time. "Never." Alex agreed with Matt as he said that, smiling as she placed her hand on his face and started to take things nice and slow with the man she loves. After which, she smiled as she pushed him again. "Okay. Calm down and take it easy mister. Just go upstairs and strip down. I'll be up when I have some food here." Matt smirked. "Or, I just get undressed, and you can start a frozen pizza?" Alex smiled and agreed with Matt, before deciding to take off the shirt that she was wearing for him. "Here, bring this upstairs for me then." Throwing her shirt to Matt, Alex smirked as she knew that he liked that; especially as he caught the shirt and stared at her with awe. "Oh, no. Then you better give me those pants too Ms. Casey!" Alex agreed with Matt, smirking as she extended her hand. "Want to help me with them?" Smirking, Matt agreed with Alex as he walked up to her once more; only to wrap his arms around her and hold her close. Meanwhile, Alex put her hands on his muscular chest as they both cuddled up to each other and just held each other close here in their kitchen.

At the same time, Matt set Alex's shirt down on the counter, while also placing his hands on her arms as they both held each other close here in the kitchen. Leaning in, he smirked and just took things nice and slow with his beautiful wife, here in their kitchen on their wedding night. And damn did Alex love the feeling of Matt's soft lips on hers, especially as she ran her hands down his body and proceeded to play with the bottom of his shirt, which then led to Matt grabbing it and taking it off for his wife, which is precisely what Alex wanted. She wanted Matt to be shirtless, with the hopes of also getting something else, which would be him to take off his pants. "Pants?" Alex agreed with her husband as she ran her hands down his body, before playing with the waistband of his sweatpants. "We were such idiots for thinking that we would be able to keep our sweats on." Matt agreed as he put his hand on Alex's neck and just smiled as he started to take things nice and slow with the woman he loves. The woman of his dreams Alexandra Marie Casey, who just tugged on his pants due to the fact that she wants them off; so, he did precisely what his wife wanted him to do. He took off his pants.

And let's just say that Alex loved the sight in front of her, as it was the sight of her dreamy husband just wearing his tight boxers; the tight boxers that perfectly showed off his assets as he got close to her and placed his hands on her sides. After which, he tugged her body against his chest and wrapped her legs around his waist. Meanwhile, Alex put her hands on his chest and smiled as she leaned in and kissed him softly. Meanwhile, Matt grabbed his wife's pants so that they were both wearing the same thing: their undergarments; with him wearing his boxers, while she wore some very sexy lingerie for him. And let's just say that they were both very turned on when they were undressed due to the choices of what they wore. So much so, that Matt couldn't take his eyes off of Alex even as he bent down and grabbed all of their sweats; only to put them down on the counter and folding them so that they were easy to pick up later. "I can only assume that you aren't going anywhere right now?" Matt smirked. "I was just going to go put this in the laundry. Now, are we making pasta again, or ordering in?" Alex smiled at her husband. "Give me the clothes, I'll put them in the wash." Matt agreed.

Handing their clothes over to Alex, Matt smirked as he got close to her again and tugged her body against his chest. "I love you and can't wait to have you in my arms again. Sorry I was even dressed." Alex shook her head. "Better to have your sweats full of sauce than your chest. Then again, I could've cleaned you up pretty easily." Kissing Matt's chest, Alex smirked as she teased him before jumping down on the counter and teasing him as she walked away with both of their sweats. At the same time, Matt turn his head while shaking it due to the fact that his wife is extremely sexy; especially as she walks away in that lingerie that she's wearing on their wedding night. The wedding that Matt plans on running his hands all over when they're done having supper. "Don't be surprised if I'm tempted to go for another round later!" Alex laughed as she heard Matt say that, well aware that he's going to be very tempted to go for another round later. "I wouldn't be surprised if I did the same thing." Matt agreed, smiling at his wife as she walked away to take their sweats up to their room since they were dirty; while he started another round of pasta which they'll enjoy as supper.

Coming back downstairs after putting their clothes in the laundry, Alex smiled as she watched Matt take out the wine again as well as some fresh glasses. "We're eating in here this time, okay?" Turning his head to look at his beautiful wife, Matt smirked due to the fact that she looks great; especially since she decided not to wear her bathrobe. "You know, I was a bit worried based on how long you were taking." Alex was confused as she heard Matt say that, unsure of just what he was worried about. "What are you talking about?" Matt smirked. "I was worried that you decided to put a robe on." Alex shook her head as she made her way over to Matt, before cuddling up to him and wrapping her arm around his back. After which, Matt wrapped his arm around her waist and bent down to kiss his beautiful wife softly. "I love you." Alex agreed with Matt. "I love you too." She then smiled when she saw a glass of wine set out for her. "That wine for me?" Matt agreed with his wife, smiling as he went to give it to her; while at the same time, he grabbed his wife. "Thought maybe we could toast to us." Alex agreed as she got close to Matt, before doing just that. She toasted to the two of them.

To the start of their new life as husband and wife. "To us, and the start of our new life as husband and wife." Wrapping his arm around Alex, Matt smirked as he bent down and kissed the woman he loves softly. "God, I love you so much. I hope you already know that." Placing her hand on Matt's face, Alex agreed as she most certainly does know that her husband loves her. "Believe me when I say this babe, I already know that you love me more than anything. And I can already tell you that I am very proud to be your wife." Matt smirked as he heard Alex say that, before kissing her again prior to her walking away to sit at the island. Meanwhile, he turned his attention back to the pasta that he was making for them again. "So, you happy about the events today?" Getting up on a bar stool, Alex laughed as she got comfortable as she stared at her sexy, boxer-clad husband as he stood in front of her in a way that showed off (a) just how tight those boxers truly are, and (b) just how good they make his butt look. "Damn that ass." Matt snickered as he heard Alex say that, before shaking his ass as a way to tease the woman he loves. "Hey, tease!" Turning his head, Matt smirked and agreed.

After all, he very much knew that Alex was quite turned on right now. Turned on over what he's wearing for him, just like he's quite turned on over what she's wearing for him. "Last time I checked you ain't in no place to judge when you're just wearing lingerie." Alex agreed with Matt, smiling as she went ahead and took a sip of her wine, while he continued to make their supper. "So, any regrets in moving this fast?" Turning his head, Matt was surprised. "First of all, hell no I don't regret marrying you the first chance I got; and two, you call this fast?" Alex was surprised when she heard her husband say that. Not the part where he says that he doesn't regret the fact that they're married, but the fact that he doesn't consider them getting married within days of him ending things with Hallie fast. "Ok. You literally JUST ended things with her, now we're married." Turning to look at Alex, Matt leaned against the counter as he took a sip of his wife. "Now, that sounds like complaining. Are you complaining that we're married Ms. Casey?" Alex shook her head, as that was the last thing that she was doing; she was actually really happy that they're married. "No, not at all. I love that we're married Matt."

Walking over to his beautiful wife, Matt smirked as he got really close to her and put his hand on her the counter. Meanwhile, Alex set her wine down on the counter as Matt put his hands on her neck while holding her close. "God, I love how sexy you're getting with me right now." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife as she said that, smiling as he leaned in and kissed the woman of his dreams softly. "I love you." Alex agreed with her husband as he told her that, well aware that was the case. "I love you too." Matt smiled as he kissed Alex once more, while wrapping his arms around her and holding her close. "God, I am so happy right now." Alex agreed, as she's happy too. "Me too. Just us being married makes me happy." Matt agreed with Alex, before grabbing her hand and intertwining their fingers. "And at the end of the day, isn't that all that matters? The fact that we're happy with the choice we made to get married?" Alex agreed, as that most certainly is all that matters at the end of the day. That they're happy with the choice they made to get married. "I got proposed to and got married on the same day, you were a busy man today my husband." Matt agreed, smiling.

However, he could also tell that something was going on in Alex's head, which is precisely why he just got close to her, while also grabbing her hand and intertwining their fingers. "Hey, something's on your mind babe. Talk to me." Alex sighed as she looked up at Matt. "Damn, you're good at that." Matt agreed. "I have to read body language in negotiations all the time, now what's up?" Alex sighed. "I'm just worried that with you being a CEO…" Moving his hand to Alex's face, Matt stroke her cheek with his thumb as he pushed her head up so that they were staring into each other's eyes. After which, he bent down and crashed his lips onto hers. "Don't you dare think that way. I am your husband first, and I will never be too busy for you. Nor will I ever be too busy for a sexy visit from my wife in my office." Alex smirked as she heard Matt say that, before starting to think about that in the form of a sexy dream while he continued to cook for the both of them.

Part Two: Supper, at Last

It was finally time. Time for the two of them to enjoy something that they've been waiting for, their first supper as husband and wife; hell, as an official couple. And boy did the food look good, as did the chef as he made his way over to the dinning room table in his tight boxers; a sight that most certainly did turn on his new wife (who was teasing him just as much by wearing the sexy lingerie she chose to wear). "Damn, now this is a pure treat. My husband walking over to me in his tight boxers." Smirking as he walked up to the table with the glasses of wine, Matt proceeded to set them (as well as the bottle of red wine) down next to his beautiful wife, while also stepping close to her and putting her hands on her hips. Meanwhile, Alex put her hands on his muscular chest as she stared into Matt's eyes. "I can say the same thing about my sexy wife wearing her lingerie for me, here as we prepare to have our first meal as husband and wife." Alex smirked as she heard Matt say that, as she loved the sound of that. "Oh, I love the sound of that." Matt smiled as he heard Alex say that, while stepping close to her and putting his hands on her arms. "It's long overdue." Alex agreed with Matt.

Especially the part where he says that this life is long overdue, because it most certainly is. They've wanted to be a couple for a very long time, and it's only now just happening. But when it comes down to it, she wouldn't change a thing. She's just happy that they're finally married. "Hey, Matt. Can you do me a favor?" Matt nodded as he looked at Alex, while also grabbing her hand. "Of course, babe, what is it?" Alex smiled as she stroked his hand with her thumb. "Don't look backwards anymore, okay? We've made it through the battle, but we both know there are a lot of challenges up ahead. I know that you feel guilty about all of that, and I recognize that it may take you a while to get out of that. But babe, I promise that I'm not mad; I'm just glad that we're here. And I believe that's all that matters at the end of the day. The fact that we're here and married. Right?" Stepping close to Alex, Matt agreed as that most certainly is the truth. So much so, that he just put his hand on her neck and started to take things nice and slow with the woman of his dreams. "Babe, of course it is. Please, never doubt that I feel that way." Alex agreed with Matt as she smiled at the man she loves.

The man she wants to be with for the rest of her life and will be due to the fact that they're married. "I just feel like you've been trying to make up for lost time. And baby, you need to stop trying so hard; especially with how stressed you've been when it comes to making a simple supper. It's just a meal baby. Yes, it's our first meal as husband and wife. But it's not our last meal as husband and wife. That's years down the road, and we're going to have a bunch of bumps in the road. Tonight, was just one of them, one that involved our dogs." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife, smiling as he leaned in and kissed her softly. Placing his hands on her arms once more, Matt smiled due to the fact that this truly is exactly what they both want to be doing right now. They both want to be holding each other close, as they take it nice and easy with each other. "I know you're stressed Matt, but just take a breath and remember that it's our wedding night. It's our night to take it easy and relax with each other." Matt smirked as Alex said that, as it's also a night for something else if she wants. "It can also be another sexy night if you want." Alex smirked and agreed.

After all, what woman wouldn't want to get all hot and sexy with the man of her dreams? The man she loves more than anything in the entire world and is incredibly proud to call her husband; then again, they've had a couple roads already since they got married. "We'll see, okay? I don't want you to get too addicted to sex. Plus, tonight is Friday night. Remember, mystery night?" Matt remembered that. "Right, Dateline and 20/20." Alex agreed with her husband, smirking as she leaned in and kissed him softly; while he placed his hand on her neck and continued to take things nice and slow with the most beautiful woman in the entire world. "God, you are so damn sexy baby." Alex agreed with Matt as she wrapped her arms around his back while taking things nice and slow with him. "As are you Matt, and I hope you know just hope much I love you." Matt agreed, as he most certainly does. "Oh, believe me babe. You never have to tell me that you love me thousands of times again. I know that you love me, and that's just a fact." Alex agreed, smiling at the man of her dreams as they both held each other close and just took it slow with each other ahead of supper.

However, they both knew that they couldn't do this forever; due to the fact that they don't want their food to get cold. "God, I hate that I know our food is going to get cold if we keep doing this; but I want to keep doing it so much because I am so addicted to you and those soft lips of yours." Alex agreed with her husband as he told her that, well aware that was the case. "I promise Matt, you have nothing to worry about. I'm going to be right here when we're done eating. Or maybe in bed, not sure yet. All I know, is that you have nothing to worry about when it comes to not being able to touch me when we're done eating; as I want to have your hands all over me for as long as I can." Matt snickered, as that most certainly is something that he can already guarantee her; that she'll have his hands all over her body. "I promise you this, I am going to have my hands all over you in bed. That most certainly isn't something that you need to worry about." Alex agreed with her husband as he said that, smiling as she went to take a bite of their food. "Oh, now this is good." Matt smirked as he heard Alex say that. "It better be, it's your favorite." Alex smiled as she heard Matt say that.

After which, she reached over and grabbed her amazing husband's hand. Stroking it with her thumb, Alex smiled due to the fact that this is precisely what she wants. This night is already the best night of her life, simply due to the fact that she's now married to the man of her dreams. "I can see that smile; does it have anything to do with your new husband?" Snickering, Alex let go of Matt's hand and took a bite of her pasta due to the fact that she didn't want to admit that what Matt just said was the truth; because it was the truth, she is happy that they're married. "Oh, I most certainly am happy that we're married. And I think you already know that." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife as he ate some more of their supper. "You happy we decided to eat our here rather than eat in the screening room or our room?" Alex agreed with Matt, as she most certainly is; simply due to the fact that it means they can just get all comfortable after eating. "Means we can just get comfortable right after we're in bed." Matt agreed, smiling at his wife as he's happy. Happy to finally have this life with each other. "I'm so happy." Alex agreed with her husband, smiling at the man of her dreams.

After all, she's quite happy as well. "I'm happy too. Just promise me no funny business. I just want to cuddle up to you as we hold each other close as we take it easy with each other." Matt agreed with Alex, smiling as that most certainly is what they're going to do. "I think that's something that we can do. We can just hold each other close and take it easy with each other." Alex agreed with her handsome husband as he said that, just smirking due to the fact that this is precisely what she wants to do right now. She wants to hold her husband close to her, as they both take it easy and just relax with each other in bed. Now that, that's the pure definition of a perfect wedding night for Alex; her cuddling up to the man of her dreams, her loving husband Matthew Casey in the comfort of their bed after having an incredible first supper as a married couple. "I still can't believe that we're married." Matt snickered, agreeing with the woman he loves as he feels the same way. "I feel the same way. But I also wouldn't have it any other way." Alex agreed with Matt. After all, that's exactly how she feels as well. She wouldn't have it any other way, as this is her dream life.
