"Mom, once you listen to this I want you to call me back as soon as possible. You're starting to worry me because you haven't called to give me news yet. I love you, bye." I say into the phone.

I still haven't gotten news on if the treatments are working on my father or not. It's definitely worrisome, not knowing whether he'll be granted survival, or basically guaranteed death.

I'm trying not to think about it because it's Valentine's Day. I'm standing in the flower section of the store, trying to decide which flowers to get for Alex. Even if she doesn't like certain flowers, she's worthy enough to accept every type that I'm surrounded by. I grab a bouquet of peonies and I smile, knowing that Alex will love them. I got all of Alex's other Valentine's Day gifts long before January ended.

When I get back home, I open the door and make my way to the bedroom and find Alex still fast asleep. I kiss on her cheek multiple times before she finally starts moving around a bit and letting out quiet groans.

"Wake up, I have something for you." I whisper, and a smirk creeps onto her face before her eyes slowly open.

"These are beautiful." She gasps, taking the flowers from my hand and smiling up at me.

"Not nearly as beautiful as you are, Alexandrianna." I reply, giving her another kiss.

"Can we just spend the day here, in bed together?" Alex whines before stretching out her arms.

"No," I say, shaking my head. "I have so much planned for us today, so get up!"

"Okay, okay, I'm up." She mumbles, rubbing sleep from her eyes.

"We're going to spend today at the beach!" I exclaim.

"The beach? I didn't think you'd actually—" Alex starts, but I kiss her mid sentence.

"Alexandrianna, you should know by now that I'd do anything for you. I didn't forget our conversation on the phone." I reply, and she smiles.

"I love you." She says, sighing happily afterwards.

"I love you, too." I say, kissing her again.

"It gets better. I found a secluded beach about an hour away, so it'll just be us." I say, and she smiles.

"Well, what're we waiting for? Let's go!" She cheers.

Alex rises from the bed with a huge smile on her face and she takes a bag and takes her swimsuit out of it. I stand in front of the dresser, trying to find the perfect pair of swim shorts, but Alex is distracting me by changing right in front of me. She smiles at me before taking off her bra, and adjusting her breasts after putting on the bikini top. She slowly moves her leggings off, revealing those mesmerizing mile long legs. She turns around, slipping off her underwear, giving me the perfect view of her butt, and my face heats up while my eyes skim up and down her body.

Damn.

Alex puts on the rest of her swimsuit, and she stares admiringly at herself in the mirror.

"I constantly think about what you said to me on the morning of New Years." Alex says, looking over her shoulder at me.

"You're truly the most beautiful woman I've met, Alexandrianna. I mean it every time I tell you." I say, standing up and walking over to her.

I stand in front of her, and her eyes burn into mine as she smiles. I hold her at the waist, and she wraps her arms around my neck before placing her lips against my jawline.

"I don't know how we ended up together, but I'm glad we did because I haven't been this happy in—, God knows how long." Alex says, and a light laugh shakes her body.

"I'm glad that I can give you the happiness and love you deserve." I reply, and she kisses my lips, making my insides feel warm.

I take her hand and I grab Bruno's leash and we walk to my car. As we're speeding along the highway, I roll all of the windows down in the car, and in my side mirror I see Bruno sticking his tongue out as the wind blows back his wrinkly face. Alex takes out her phone and she opens up the camera, and I see she's about to record something.

"Open your sunroof!" She says excitedly, and I smile before I open it.

Alex stands up, and I hear her exhilarated laughter through the wind, and she moves the bottom half of her body to the music that's blasting on my radio. Alex bends down, placing her head on my shoulder before giving me a peck on the cheek. She sits back down in be passenger seat. Her brown hair is unkempt, and she moves it out of her face while laughing.

One of the things I love most about Alex is her vivacious attitude, and how carefree she seems to be. The way her smile forms, and how her eyes crease when she does. The boisterousness in her just makes me fall for her over and over again.

Once we pull up to the beach, before I even get the chance to park, Alex sprints towards the sea. The wind pushing back her long hair, and her arms are outstretched like she's about to fly. Once her body makes contact with the water, she cheers loudly while splashing it around.

I put a life vest on Bruno, and he's barking excitedly at me while squirming around so he's making it difficult to put the vest on.

"Come on, slow pokes!" Alex urges us, and she twirls around.

Bruno and I run into the water, and I splash Alex and she gasps in surprise before doing the same to me. Bruno soon floats back to shore, playing with a squeak toy. We continuously splash each other, laughing loudly as we do, and it's not long before we're standing in the water, and our lips collide like the waves do. Her lips taste like salt water, and I smile as the water moves in between us. We walk out of the water hand in hand, and we both stand on top of a cliff while watching the sun slowly descend.

The color bold orange and pink color highlights Alex's face, and her eyes resemble gold as she stares off into the distance, getting lost in the stunning view.

"I've always loved watching the sunset," Alex says, looking over at me for a split second before turning her view on the sky. "It's just so relaxing and beautiful. Isn't it?"

"Yeah, yes, it's beautiful." I say, referring to her and not the sunset.

"This was perfect, today was perfect." Alex says, taking my hand.

"It really was, and I'm extremely grateful that you're the one I'm spending Valentine's Day with. I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it with anyone else." I say, and she smiles.

"Me too." She replies, and our eyes meet.

"There's more than just love that I have for you, Alex. So much more. Something with much more magnitude than this, it's just ineffable. I'm so happy, and you've somehow managed to give me so much of that happiness in such a short amount of time. Tonight's all about you, baby. All about you." I say, and I hold her face in my hands while my thumb strokes her cheek.

"Tonight's all about us." She replies, sighing softly as my thumb continues to caress gently over her cheek.

Alex takes one more look at the sky, and she takes a few steps backward.

"What're you doing?" I ask, and she gives me a mischievous grin.

She runs off of the cliff, screaming as she falls into the water, and a gasp leaves my body.

"Alex!" I shout, and it's not long before she comes above the water, doing a hair flip.

"Your turn!" She calls out, and I furrow my eyebrows.

"Are you deranged? There's no way in hell that I'm jumping off of this cliff into the water!" I say, and I hear her laugh.

"Aww, is poor little Rian afraid of heights?" Alex teases.

"No, I'm not. I love heights, for your information."

"Well then jump!" She insists.

"The things I do for you, Alex." I say, and I take a few deep breaths before diving in.

My body is quickly consumed by the cool water, and it seems as if everything's been slowed down when I'm submerged. I arise from the water, and adrenaline is racing through my blood.

"Wasn't that fun?" Alex says with a smile, and I nod.

"Let's go again!" I say, and she cheers before we both swim to shore and make our way back up the cliff.

After we jump from the cliff a few more times, Alex and I dry off back at home.

"That was so much fun." Alex says over her loud blow dryer.

"I know, and there's more at the beach for us." I say.

"What do you mean?" She asks.

"Get dressed. I have a surprise for you."

Alex curls her hair perfectly, and she wears a red dress with scallop detailing around the neck. She picks up the necklace I gave her for Christmas, and she struggles with trying to clasp it, and her fingers fumble with the chain.

"Here," I say softly into her ear, and I close the necklace for her.

"Thank you." Alex says before turning around to kiss me.

"Let's go, I can't wait to see the look on your face once you see what I've prepared for us." I say, and we both smile before returning to my car.

Once we make it back to the beach, we walk along the sand, and Alex crouches down to pick up a rose petal. She looks back up, and notices the trail leading to a canopy.

"What is this? What did you do?" She asks in surprise, and I chuckle at her amusement.

"I wanted this to be as special as possible." I say, and she smiles.

I stand behind her, and I cover her eyes with my hands, and she stumbles occasionally while blinding walking towards the canopy.

"Rian, can you uncover my eyes now?" She asks through a giggle, and I remove my hands instantly.

Underneath the canopy, I had a fancy dinner arranged for Alex and I. She smiles before slowly approaching the table loaded with delicious food.

"You did all of this?" Alex asks, still in shock.

"Why wouldn't I?" I reply, and she walks over to hug me.

"I love you." She says into my ear, and I smile before kissing her temple.

"I love you, too. Now, let's eat." I say, and she nods at me.

I walk over to her chair, and I pull it out for her. Alex smiles before thanking me, and she sits down. I sit in front of her, and we both dig into the shrimp pasta that's been prepared for us.

"Is that caviar?" Alex asks, pointing to the server on the side of the table.

"Yes it is. There's crackers and crème fraîche to go with it." I say, and she smiles before reaching for it.

Alex and I nearly eat every trace of food on the table, laughing and talking about anything that came to mind. Once we're finished with dinner, we go back home. I open the door for Alex, and I follow her as she walks to the bedroom. I close the door behind us, and I can feel Alex's eyes on me.

"Can we just talk about how stunning you look?" I ask, and I twirl her around.

"You look just as great." Alex says, wrapping her arms around my neck.

"I doubt it." I reply, giving her a wink.

"Today was perfect, and I don't think I want it to end." She says, and her smile sends radiation through my body.

"Me either, Alex. Words can't describe how perfect today was."

"I wish time could just stop so we could just be together without interruption. That'd be so nice to just have nothing else on our minds, just each other." Alex says through a sigh.

"My mind's always on you, Alex. No matter what situation I'm in. I'm constantly thinking of how you wake me up by kissing me, and how your smile just lights up your eyes. I could go on and on, my point is that I can't get you out of my head, and I don't want to." I say, and my eyes pierce into hers.

"You're always on my mind, too. I think about how you're constantly spoiling me and being chivalrous to me. I think about how much you seem to love your job, and how professional you are. I think how your dimples form when you smile. You've totally consumed my thoughts, and I love that. Even though I don't want this day to end, I think we should end it the correct way." She says, smiling at me.

"I agree."

Her mouth voraciously unites with mine, and my tongue slides in between her parted lips. She cups my face in her hands, and I smile at the feeling of her warm hands caressing my cheeks. Her hands reach for my shirt, and she unbuttons it while I kiss on her neck. My tongue glides up and down her neck, making her squirm with pleasure. I feel her pulse throbbing speedily against my lips, and I playfully bite her neck as if I were a vampire.

Her soft skin underneath her dress is craving my touch, I can tell in her eyes. Alex is growing more and more eager for me, and I'm more than eager for her. She reaches behind her back and zips down her dress effortlessly, and I pull her body so that it's pressed against mine. The temperatures of our bodies when they connect is so sultry that it's almost scorching. Our breaths quicken, and I unbuckle my belt and pull down my pants.

Drinking in every inch of her glowing skin, I dip my head and begin to nibble on her shoulder, and her head falls back as she sighs. I get down on one of my knees, and I leave kisses along her rib cage, and above her navel. Her fingers find their way into my hair, and my hands start at her waist and move down over her butt, and then smoothly down her thighs and mile long legs. I kiss my way back up her body, and the look on her face is fervent.

God damn, I'm lucky to call her mine.

Alex bites her lip and looks up at me, and after a while of just staring at each other while I hold her at the waist, she wraps her arms around my neck and jumps into my arms.

I catch her, and she wraps her legs around my waist before our lips connect again, and we taste each other's moans. We fall backwards onto the bed, and my skin prickles everywhere when I feel her hand travel into my boxer briefs. I reach up and I squeeze one of her breasts while her hand is rhythmically moving up and down my shaft.

I sit up and tug the bra off of her chest, freeing her breasts. My hands fondle and caress both of them, and I feel the skin of her breasts underneath my thumbs harden and throb with need.

My mouth captures her nipple in between my teeth, and she moans instantly. I tug gently, and my hands grasp her butt, and she's grinding against my hardness. The feeling of her warmth pressing against mine makes my control leave my body, and a growl rumbles in my throat as our eyes connect.

I lay down, and she moves herself so that her body is hovering over mine. I move her underwear to the side, and my tongue strokes and sucks the area where she's most sensitive.

It doesn't take long before she's on the edge, and her thighs shudder while she grips my hair.

"Don't stop, please don't stop!" Alex begs, and she loudly moans various expletives as my tongue traces the alphabet on her wet, succulent center.

Her wetness drips onto my tongue, and I don't let a single drop escape my tastebuds. Alex clenches against my tongue before grinding against it. Her moans ring in my ears, and my eyes penetrate into hers. Her breathing is erratic, and her grinding soon turns into quaking. Alex tries to lower herself, but I grip her hips and keep her over my mouth and I watch her soul leave her body.

"Rian!" She cries out desperately, and she's shaking like a leaf beneath my fingers.

Her body goes stiff, and she falls next to me, still trying to recollect herself. I smile as I watch her breathing heavily, and I move myself so that my body is above hers. I thrust deep into her, and she grips onto one of my hands. Delving deeper into her with each rhythmic push, I'm engulfed by waves of pleasure. Alex smiles up at me as I'm going faster and faster, and our moans become wild.

Alex fists her hand in the sheet, practically screaming my name out of titillation, and she gasps and bucks her body instinctively. White hot heat rushes through my body, and oh God, my heart gets nearer and nearer to explosion when she starts whispering things into my ear softly.

Soft guttural sounds come from her throat, and she tries to whisper something else before her back levitates off of the bed, and her chest is pressed against mine.

"Y-yes!" She moans loudly, and I smile, and my confidence is boosted as I go faster, harder, and the room becomes hotter.

It's when our eyes meet again, is when I catch my breath.

Damn, her eyes.

Her eyes say everything.

The way she smiles at me, the way her fingers glide over mine. How she kisses me. It's everything about her that's making me realize that I've never felt this much of a desire for someone like Alex. I've never looked at a person this way, or felt this strongly.

As we're kissing, I take her bottom lip between my teeth, and I suck on her thick lip before tugging gently at it. She lets out a dirty laugh which sends a good chill down my spine. Alex lifts herself and shoves me down before climbing on top of me again, and she turns around, giving me the perfect view of her butt.

Alex guides herself down onto me, and she

moves her lower body in a frenzied fervor. I take my hands and place them on her hips, and uninhibited cries of satisfaction come from me as she constantly changes the motion of her hips.

Up and down, back and forth, and in slow circles.

We fight for more oxygen as the moment becomes more and more passionate, pushing us to the brink of blissful agony. It feels like fireworks are going off inside of my body while my heart pounds so hard it feels like it's about to pop out of my chest. The sound of our ragged gasps and skin slapping together is in the air as we move simultaneously.

Alex puts my aching shaft into her mouth, and I cry out her name as my body trembles. Her smooth lips gliding up and down causes me to beg, to convulse, to explode. One last final moment of ecstasy engulfs me again, and everything becomes a blur. I open my eyes and see Alex, slowly taking myself out of her mouth and my liquid drips from her tongue.

"Jesus." I moan, pulling her up to my lips for another kiss, but we just stare at each other while heavily breathing.

My eyes flicker down to her lips, and then back up to her eyes. Alex cocks her head to the right, giving me a broad smile, and I mimic her before biting my lip and pulling her against me.

We finally kiss, and we chuckle for a moment before I flip us over again so that I'm in control. Alex and I keep going, losing ourselves as I sink myself deeper into her again and again, and her legs wrap around my waist, caging us in this moment of desire.

No matter how sore we begin to feel, we won't stop, because we don't want to. The wanting is still so strong, we still want so much more. Some moments so strong and exciting that my brain stops functioning for a split second because the sensation is so strong.

Alex arches to meet each possessive thrust, making us release again and again and again until we're both so tired that we can hardly move at all. Where our kissing is so consuming that it's just as orgasmic as the sex itself, but it's still too insatiable to be completely satisfactory.

"God, I love you so much." She rasps, and I smile.

"I love you, too." I reply.

The last thing I see is the rising sun shining through the window before I fall asleep to the feeling of Alex's chest on top of mine.
