Re: Alex and Alexis's Wedding....

Pockets Mon Jun 20, 2011 6:25 pm

Alexis: It really isn't a big deal. We were joking around about vices... and he made the comment that Vanilla Coke wasn't the worst thing I could have gotten you started on. I know he didn't mean anything by that... but, just given the family history, you know....

Cruel Britannia Mon Jun 20, 2011 6:28 pm

Alex: I see..... well.... you know it was in no way a personal remark..... that he wasn't even referring to your family history.... so I doubt you'd let that bother you today..... so that makes me wonder if maybe there's something.... bigger bothering you.

Pockets Mon Jun 20, 2011 6:29 pm

Alexis stares at Alex.

Alexis: What?

Cruel Britannia Mon Jun 20, 2011 6:34 pm

Alex looks a little shocked by Lexi's response.

Alex: I-I dunno..... you just don't semm like yourself.... like you're upset about something... even before you spoke to my dad. I was just worried..... guess I was wrong.

He looks away from her.

.... sorry I said anything.

Pockets Mon Jun 20, 2011 6:44 pm

Alexis sighs in frustration.

Alexis: I wasn't upset when I went to talk to your mom. I wanted to ask her something, and she was able to answer it. And with your dad... I said I knew he didn't mean anything by it... it just kind of hit a nerve is all. That's it.

Cruel Britannia Mon Jun 20, 2011 6:46 pm

Alex: OK.... I understand. Sorry.

Pockets Mon Jun 20, 2011 6:48 pm

Alexis: It's alright....

Cruel Britannia Mon Jun 20, 2011 6:51 pm

Alex doesn't know what to say. He sits in awkward silence.

Pockets Mon Jun 20, 2011 6:54 pm

Alexis glances awkwardly at Daniel.

Alexis: Sorry about this....

Jabberwocky Mon Jun 20, 2011 7:00 pm

Daniel simply smiles politely
Daniel:"No need to apologize to me. Really."

Cruel Britannia Mon Jun 20, 2011 7:06 pm

Alex clears his throat and stands. He smiles.

Alex: I'm feeling a little....warm..... I think I'm going to get some fresh air. I'll be outside if you want me. Unless you'd like to join me sweetie?

Pockets Mon Jun 20, 2011 7:11 pm

Alexis: Fresh air sounds good... I was about to get some myself anyway.

Cruel Britannia Mon Jun 20, 2011 7:15 pm

Alex nods and leads Lexi outside. He discreetly pulls a bottle of painkillers out of his pocket and pops a couple. He stares out across the lake and inhales deeply.

Pockets Mon Jun 20, 2011 7:19 pm

Alexis notices Alex taking the pills.

Alexis: What are those for?

Cruel Britannia Mon Jun 20, 2011 7:22 pm

He sighs.

Alex: My head..... eugh..... gotta love being fragile.

Pockets Mon Jun 20, 2011 7:24 pm

Alexis looks confused and slightly alarmed.

Alexis: When today did you hit your head?

Cruel Britannia Mon Jun 20, 2011 7:29 pm

Alex shakes his head.

Alex: No, no sweetie..... it's OK.... I'm fine..... just a little left over side effect from last time...... it's been an..... eventful day.....

Pockets Mon Jun 20, 2011 7:34 pm

Alexis: It... has.

She still looks worried.

Alexis: You have a headache?

Cruel Britannia Mon Jun 20, 2011 7:37 pm

Alex: Don't worry about it my love.... it's not that bad.... it happens.

He smiles at Lexi and is outwardly stoic, but is controlling his breathing.

Pockets Mon Jun 20, 2011 7:40 pm

Alexis looks at Alex nervously, watching him.

Alexis: It doesn't look "not that bad".

Cruel Britannia Mon Jun 20, 2011 7:42 pm

Alex shakes his head.

Alex: It'll pass..... I'm not spoiling this day any more than I already have.

Pockets Mon Jun 20, 2011 7:45 pm

Alexis: What are you talking about?

Cruel Britannia Mon Jun 20, 2011 7:50 pm

Alex: Well..... first I make you uncomfortable because I can't stop myself gushing about you..... then I push an issue when I should have just kept my mouth shut..... I mean.... of all the things I thought might screw up today for you.... I didn't think it would be me.

Pockets Mon Jun 20, 2011 7:55 pm

Alexis sighs.

Alexis: You're not screwing this up... gush over me all you want... it was just me being insecure about it....

Cruel Britannia Mon Jun 20, 2011 8:01 pm

Alex: And I shouldn't be making those insecurities worse...... you clearly hate it so I'll stop.

But that's hardly the point....

He rubs his head.

....don't worry about me sweetie..... I'm just a little angry at myself.
