Re: Alexander and Alexis' Apartment Part 1

Pockets Mon Apr 11, 2011 5:48 am

Alexis sits up, still blinking sleepily

Alexis: That's nice of them.

She notices the note sticking out of the basket.

Alexis: What's this... "we better be invited to the wedding"?

Cruel Britannia Mon Apr 11, 2011 10:12 am

Alex smiles and shrugs.

Alex: Well this is like the third time they've done this..... not the mention the help they gave me with with that date.

Pockets Mon Apr 11, 2011 1:10 pm

Alexis grins, stretching.

Alexis: We'll have to hand deliver an invitation to them then... especially since we don't even know their names.

Cruel Britannia Mon Apr 11, 2011 1:13 pm

Alex stares at Lexi stretching.

Alex: Wow.....

Pockets Mon Apr 11, 2011 1:15 pm

Alexis looks over at Alex.

Alexis: What?

Cruel Britannia Mon Apr 11, 2011 1:17 pm

Alex grins still staring.

Alex: You just woke up..... and you're still the most beautiful woman on the planet..... that shouldn't be possible.

Pockets Mon Apr 11, 2011 1:19 pm

Alexis grins.

Alexis: Good morning to you too.

Cryonix Mon Apr 11, 2011 1:20 pm

There is a knock at the door...

Cruel Britannia Mon Apr 11, 2011 1:22 pm

Alex hears the knock.

Alex: I'll get it....

He grabs a bottle of Gatorade from the basket and goes to answer the door.

Cryonix Mon Apr 11, 2011 1:24 pm

There is a Fed Ex man at the door holding a small package and a electronic clipboard...

Man: Mr. Alex Edwards? Sign here please...

Cruel Britannia Mon Apr 11, 2011 1:25 pm

Alex: Sure....

He signs and takes the package

Pockets Mon Apr 11, 2011 1:29 pm

Alexis throws on the nearest clothes, those being Alex's t-shirt and boxers, and walks to the door.

Alexis: Who's at the door, honey?

Cryonix Mon Apr 11, 2011 1:33 pm

The Fed Ex guy nods and makes a couple marks on his clipboard as he walks away. Alex sees the note and it's from Ben...

"Heya Alex. I figured that you might get home and...reestablish being home...for a while... Smile

...but I think I need to remind you that you guys are getting married in three and a half weeks. Inside are sample invitations and the names of highly respected wedding planners, along with videos of their work. Also, hearing that you mentioned that Lexi wanted the wedding on a certain boat in Chicago...I've made a few phone calls for you in the area. The boat is yours for 12 hours...so for the ceremony and the reception. Don't want to overstep bounds here...but I figure you'd be....ahem...busy. Love you guys...hope you made it home safe.

-Ben"

Cruel Britannia Mon Apr 11, 2011 1:36 pm

Alex smiles at the note and hands it to Lexi.

Pockets Mon Apr 11, 2011 1:43 pm

Alexis reads the note, and looks very relieved.

Alexis: Thank you, Ben.

Cruel Britannia Mon Apr 11, 2011 1:48 pm

Alex quickly grabs his phone from the table where he left it last night and calls Ben, wrapping his free arm around Lexi and pulling her onto his lap as he sits on the couch.

Cryonix Mon Apr 11, 2011 1:50 pm

The other line answers and it's Ben...

Ben: Yes, one second Moira. It's Alex. Hello, Alex! I take it you got my delivery?

Cruel Britannia Mon Apr 11, 2011 1:53 pm

Alex: Hey Ben, yes we did. It sounds like you're *ahem* busy so I wont keep you. I just wanted to call and say that I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for me and Lexi.... not just this, but everything..... it means a lot.... and if there's ever anything I can do for you..... just let me know ok?

Cryonix Mon Apr 11, 2011 1:57 pm

Ben: Oh, no no. Moira and I are still on the jet headed back to Tampa. The thanks is appreciated, though, Alex...as is the offer. Listen, like I said in the note...you guys don't have much time...and I know your parents have money just as much as I do. So if you need help in any way...just let me know. I have some friends on the Chicago Events Planning Comission...so they can expidite your wedding planning process....marriage licences, zoning off the river for the boat ride, etc. You just let me know when you need a phone call...and Alex...

...enjoy the process...you and Lexi. She doesn't need to stress about this, Alright?

Cruel Britannia Mon Apr 11, 2011 2:04 pm

Alex: Wow.... um thanks Ben..... that would be a huge help.... and yes.... I've been trying to tell her that for months..... perhaps she'll be more inclined to believe it coming from you haha.

anyway I'd better go.... something important just landed in my lap.

He looks to Lexi.

.... but thanks again, I'll see you at the bachelor party.

Cryonix Mon Apr 11, 2011 2:06 pm

Ben: Not a problem at all Alex. And yes, I suppose I will see you at the party. Gabe really has this ten day journey planned out...

Cruel Britannia Mon Apr 11, 2011 2:07 pm

Alex: Ten day journey?! .... you know what? ..... I'm not even going to ask.

Pockets Mon Apr 11, 2011 2:10 pm

Alexis: What ten day journey?

Cryonix Mon Apr 11, 2011 2:10 pm

Ben: Don't worry, my boy, don't worry. It's actually turning out to be pretty cool. Now...you should go...cause I think that thing that...ahem...dropped into your lap...doesn't want to be kept waiting...

...oh, and you can tell Lexi....'You're Welcome.' Bye.

Cruel Britannia Mon Apr 11, 2011 2:12 pm

Alex: Yeah..... bye Ben.

Alex still looks a little shocked.

Um..... apparently..... my bachelor party is going to last ten days.....
