Chapter 13 – Their second ‘first’ date!

Everything had been as normal as it could be when Ray and Alex went to pick up Gene from hospital and as soon as they’d left the building Gene was harassing Ray for his keys so he could get behind the wheel of his beloved Audi. Thankfully, much to Ray’s surprise, he took it easy, telling Ray to stop being such a Nancy, he was only thinking of Bolly’s leg. Alex had smiled at his comment before looking back to see Ray’s face, a picture of incomprehension.

They’d decided that the best course of action was to take Alex home first, that way she’d actually have “two armed bastards” with her should anything transpire. Sending Ray on ahead with the keys, Gene and Alex slowly ascended the stairs and by the time they got to the top, Alex was exhausted. “Next time, I’ll carry you!” Gene muttered as he held the door open for her.

As they walked into the tiny hallway they both stopped short looking around in wonder at the transformation, Luigi and his family had obviously worked a little magic whilst she had kept away, they’d wanted to make sure that she would feel at home when she came back, the décor had been updated and furnishings had been changed. “No wonder he kept asking me when I was due back?” Alex said, as she threaded her way into the living space. “I can’t believe he’s done all of this, for me!”

“It wasn’t just Luigi,” Ray mentioned, “it were Chris, Shaz, Skip and meself too. Felt like we should all chip in, ‘elp out. T’ make you feel more comfortable, like!”

“You know, Ray, sometimes there are moments when I just don’t know what to expect from you,” Alex retorted, moving closer to Ray as she spoke, “but then, there are times when you absolutely take my breath away. Thank you.” After leaning her crutches against the wall she put her arms around Ray and hugged him. When she pulled away he was smiling down at her.

“That’s ok, Alex, it were our pleasure!”

“God, I only ‘ope I can get that kind of reaction out of you when I do someat nice for ya!” Gene hinted, watching the events before him. He felt jealous, seeing his Bolly in the arms of another man, even if that other man just happened to be Ray. Alex turned to face him seeing the all too evident anguish on Gene’s face as his usual pout took precedence.

She broke away from Ray and turned the best she could, continuing to smile as she did so. She motioned for Gene to come to her, after much coaxing he obliged. He stopped slightly away from her as she struggled to close the gap, finally she had her arms around his neck and was pulling him toward her, finally resting her forehead against his, “You’d always manage to get that kind of response out of me, I just didn’t know that you were real enough for me to be able to show you, or that you even wanted me to,” she whispered noticing that Ray was beating a hasty retreat from her flat, “Looks like we’re all alone now, Mr Hunt, are you going to stop sulking now and kiss me?”

He needed no other invitation quickly finding her mouth with his own. As their kiss deepened, he slid his arms around her waist resting his hands at the top of her bottom, pulling her even closer to him, their bodies forming to one another with his affectionate actions. As she breathed, he could feel the continuous rise and fall of her breasts through the flimsy material of his shirt hoping that her involuntary actions didn’t cause him to react improperly. Her hands had now found their way down his body and around his back, underneath his coat making him shiver slightly; she pulled him closer keeping him warm. For several minutes they stayed as they were seeking all the comfort they could glean from the other.

Reluctantly he pulled away from her. “If I don’t go now,” he said, his voice husky, “I never will!” Alex nodded her agreement, knowing that Gene was right; he wanted their relationship to be perfect. Slowly he let her go; setting her upright before reaching over for her crutches and making sure that she was safely positioned upon them. Another embrace, another smell of her hair, a chaste kiss on her cheek, he pulled away once again, “I’ll see you in a couple of ‘ours,” he whispered, “I’ll come and get you, ok?” She nodded again not wanting to speak in case any spell cast was inadvertently broken. “Bye!” He said, “I’ll see you at 7.30, for our first ‘real’ date!”

“Bye, Gene.” Stopping where she was for a while she watched the now closed door, she couldn’t wait for his return. Sighing, she looked to the clock, a little after 4. ‘Good,’ she thought, ‘plenty of time’. She made sure that the door was properly locked before going into her bedroom and taking out the new dress she had bought for her dinner date; it had been placed in her wardrobe by Shaz earlier on. Although the dress was black, it was both sophisticated and sexy. She smiled at her reflection in the mirror as she held the dress in front of her form. “He’s going to love it!” She stated.

************

By the time Gene had finally arrived, Alex was already dressed in her white Mac, the buttons done up and the belt tied. The only things visible, the ‘v’ of her neck, where a gold necklace was present, and her unclad legs. She had fastened her hair up leaving a few tendrils to frame her face and matching earrings fell from her lobes. She’d decided to dispense with her usual blue eye make up, a smoky effect was what she wanted and used browns and gold’s instead, resulting in her feeling sultrier for him. She’d had to make do with a pair of gold peep toe pumps because of the cast, but she vowed the next time she’d wear the dress she’d be wearing her black killer stiletto’s and a pair of sheer stockings.

As promised he came to the door, his face a picture of both surprise and wonder, like a little boy getting his first train set. He broke into a smile, “You look beautiful!”

Returning his smile she responded, “You haven’t seen the dress yet!” She wasn’t surprised to see him dressed in his usual attire as she scanned from head to toe, but she liked it, the dark grey suit, the black shirt, and his black coat over the top, his boots and no tie. “I think that’s my favourite ensemble of yours!”

“What? Speak English!”

“Your suit and the shirt, my favourite.”

“Thanks, I suppose, I don’t believe I actually paid too much attention to it when I put them on, but I’m glad you like them. Shall we go?” He held out his arms in front of him, she giggled knowing exactly what he meant by it. She nodded as he swiftly picked her up and took her down the stairs to the awaiting Audi.

Idle chit chat ensued as they drove through the streets of London; they were soon at the Bistro and safely inside. Alex stood with her back to Gene as she unwrapped herself from her coat, the waiter helped her taking her coat away and hanging it up along with Gene’s own. She twirled around noticing Gene’s expression, his cheeks puffed out as his wide eyes swallowed her up, “Christ on a bike”.

The cleverly cut ruched sheath dress finished just below her knee, as it fell from her left shoulder in toga fashion. His eyes wandered over to her uncovered creamy smooth right shoulder, his mind giving way to furtive imaginings of what the rest of her skin would be like. His gaze fell downward to the swell of her breasts as the bias cut formed over them equally, ‘definitely no bra tonight,’ he thought. Another bias piece was visible underneath crossing from the other side, making it evident that a split was centred between her legs. The fabric was sheer enough that he could make out the shape of her legs. For once he was speechless; he coughed trying to take away his nervousness at her sheer beauty. “Do you like?” She asked.

He nodded his appreciation, “very much so, but can I just stress, you’re not giving me much of a chance ‘ere. At the moment there’s only one thing I want t’ eat and let’s just say she’s not on the menu!”

She giggled; glad that she’d got the reaction she’d anticipated. “I’m glad you like it, I have to admit that I was only thinking of you when I picked it out!”

“God ‘elp me then, when we’re in for a night of passion, reckon I’m a gonna already!” He smiled as she laughed at his remark. The waiter reappeared, waiting to usher them to their table. Gene motioned for Alex to take the lead placing his left hand in the small of her back, reassuring her that he was not only there but he was very real. He helped her take her seat making sure that she was settled and comfortable before taking his own.

After being seated and decisions made about food and drink, Gene and Alex settled into talking about Gene’s brief transit to the future.

“… I’m glad to be back, don’t get me wrong 2007 has its charms but I’d rather get there naturally. I couldn’t believe ‘ow much glass an’ steel there were, everywhere, either. An’ that eye thingy, what’s that all about?”

“It was built, along with less successful attractions, to celebrate the millennium. It’s quite an …”

“… amazing piece of engineering? ‘Eard someone say that!”

“I was going to say architecture, actually; but it is that as well.” Alex looked down, memories of the one and only time she’d been on it; she’d taken Molly for her 10th birthday. Her hands were clasped together in front of her on the table, her mind contemplating returning to 2007; eventually Gene covered her hands with his hoping to bring her back to him.

“What’s up?”

“I was just thinking about Molly, I took her on ‘the eye’ for her birthday.” She answered, sadly.

“I’m sorry Alex, I never meant to distress you by talking ‘bout it.”

“Gene, it wasn’t you! My mind is off thinking again.” She stayed silent for a minute. “How was she, you saw her didn’t you?”

Gene nodded, his hands still firmly clasped over hers. “She’s doin’ grand. Very brave, I told her too. She misses you of course, but they’re all resigned to the fact that you’re not goin’ to make it there.” He watched the tears begin to follow their usual course down her face, what was he doing? He just knew that it needed to be said. He placed his fingers under her chin and gently drew her face back up so that he could look at her. “I’m sorry, Alex, the last thing I want to do is upset you but we do need to talk about this. Both Evan and Molly say that if you’re unresponsive in 3 months then they have decided to switch off your machines. But to be honest love, with that bullet still stuck in your head …” She nodded; she knew that whatever decision was made it would be for the best.

“Thank you!”

“What for?”

“Being totally honest, I know I can always count on you for that and I think that’s one of the reasons I love you, so very very much. Gene?”

“Yes?”

“What do you think will happen?”

“When?”

“When they turn the machines off?”

“I don’t know, love. I wish I could tell you otherwise, but I can’t.”

“Will you be there for me?”

“Constantly!”

“Then stay with me, please!”

“Alex …”

“Please, Gene, when they switch that machine off that could be at any point here, I need to know you’ll be there … to save me.”

“Alright. You’ve made your point.” He sniggered trying to soften the mood again, “but no funny business, d’you hear?”

Seductively, she looked at him opening her eyes wide and holding up three fingers on her right hand as she spoke, “scouts honour!”

A wide grin appeared, “if you were a boy scout I expect you t’ show me some of your fancy knot work!”

“In time, Gene, in time.”
