Early the next morning, the old man from downstairs walks up to Alex and Alexis's door and leaves them bagels, cream cheese, orange juice in a carafe and a couple of apples. As he walks away...

Old Man: Heh...you made us proud, son...

Alex opens his eyes, after hearing the door knock. He looks down to see Alexis curled up next to him looking much messier than the previous day.... in a good way.

Alexis and Alex enter. Lexi still dragging him. Alex is laughing raucously.

Alex: Afraid Aunt Jenny and her wife were going to rip you limb from limb?

Pockets Mon Feb 21, 2011 5:15 pm

Alexis: It wouldn't surprise me, the stories I've heard. And it's too cold out there to be walking around in wet clothes.

She eyes Alex.

Alexis: As much as you would have enjoyed it.

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 21, 2011 5:19 pm

Alex flops down on the couch looking innocent.

Alex: Enjoyed it? Me? Now why would I enjoy seeing you dripping wet.... clothes all.... clingy and.... see-through.....

Pockets Mon Feb 21, 2011 5:20 pm

Alexis flops down next to him.

Alexis: I think you're answering that yourself.

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 21, 2011 5:23 pm

Alex pulls Alexis into him.

Alex: So does it feel as different as you thought it would?

Pockets Mon Feb 21, 2011 5:26 pm

Alexis smiles up at Alex.

Alexis: Yeah... it feels more like... home

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 21, 2011 5:30 pm

Alex laughs.

Alex: I'm glad... but you know I never thought of you as a guest here right?

Pockets Mon Feb 21, 2011 5:35 pm

Alexis: Well, at first I thought it was more of a place to stay until I got on my feet. But I didn't want to leave, even before all of this happened. I guess I always just wanted to be with you....

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 21, 2011 5:41 pm

Alex kisses her.

Alex: Well, I'm very glad you stayed..... I was thinking maybe it's time to move your things into my room.... you know.... since it's now our room.... maybe even redecorate.

Pockets Mon Feb 21, 2011 5:45 pm

The enormity of everything comes crashing down on Alexis.

Alexis: So much to do....

She giggles, looking a little overwhelmed.

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 21, 2011 5:48 pm

Alex smiles at her concern and kisses her hand.

Alex: So we'll get it done together.... one task at a time.... what's worrying you the most?

Pockets Mon Feb 21, 2011 6:12 pm

Alexis: I don't know... I'm kind of new to this... my parents didn't exactly have a wedding type wedding, but I want to do more than just run off somewhere and oh we're married.

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 21, 2011 6:20 pm

Alex smiles.

Alex: Well... first we need a place to get married.... would you like a church wedding?

Pockets Mon Feb 21, 2011 6:51 pm

Alexis: Well, I never really went to church... wouldn't that be kind of weird, to just show up at some church and be like "hey"?

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 21, 2011 6:58 pm

Alex laughs.

Alex: People do that all the time..... theres a church that my family have always used... so they already know us. But I think it's more important for you to get married in a place that's important to you. It can be anywhere you want.

Pockets Mon Feb 21, 2011 7:06 pm

Alexis looks almost shy.

Alexis: That place... our one "official" date....

She glances at Alex, then her look turns playful.

Alexis: And I'm not talking about the bedroom.

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 21, 2011 7:09 pm

Alex beams.

Alex: Wow.... I had no idea you enjoyed our date that much...

Pockets Mon Feb 21, 2011 7:14 pm

Alexis giggles.

Alexis: You went through all that trouble, even crawling out the window just to pick me up for it... it was perfect.

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 21, 2011 7:20 pm

Alex takes her hand.

Alex: It's never any trouble treating you the way you deserve to be treated love.

.... I can't think of any better place for us to get married.

....OK.... now we need a place to hold the reception... if we get a bigger boat we could have that on the lake too?

Pockets Mon Feb 21, 2011 7:26 pm

Alexis nods, grinning madly.

Alexis: Oh, that's perfect!

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 21, 2011 7:29 pm

Alex chuckles.

Alex: OK... that's settled.... now catering is important.... luckily my Uncle is a Michelin starred chef.....

.... you'll need a wedding dress....

Pockets Mon Feb 21, 2011 7:32 pm

Alexis: Amber said she knew someone... oh I still have to get the number off of her.

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 21, 2011 7:36 pm

Alex: Well.... that's the important stuff done..... now its just the little things like guest lists and music and invitations and stuff....

He kisses her.

Alex: See? No problem we can't solve between the two of us.
