We were home and I think everyone noticed how giddy Alex was behaving. It was as if a girl just got her bicycle and can wait to race with her friends who had their's for years! Just me? Okay.

It was late when we came back last night and he couldn't stop kissing me so we just went into his room while he pulled me to his bed.

Flashback:

I got up and straddled him as I bent down to kiss but he stopped me.

"Not that I don't love what you're doing right now but I don't think we should end the night like this..." He rasped in his husky voice.

"Why not?" I said getting up but he held my arms to stop me. Oh God I wasn't good enough for him and it only took him a day to realise that.. I guess that's better I'll just call Oli and grant his wish of being back in the field. But one day? One Day is all it took? Fúck.

"Hey, hey, hey!! I can see the wheels turn in your mind, it's not like that! I just think it would be better if we spend one night like a normal couple, who just went on a date, I don't want you to feel like I took you on a date to justify what we've been doing..." He softly kissed my lips.

"Honey you are making this not having séx thing more difficult already." I kissed him again against his smiling lips.

And that's how we fell asleep.

~•~

My first instinct was to leave.

My second instinct was to turn around and look at the Angel of a creature in it's slumber.

He looked like a God built with all the seven stones, that could destroy everything in its way but grow trees and flowers while sleeping.

I'm dating this guy. Woah.

What does that even mean? What do I do now? Pet him?

That sounded like a good idea in my head so I ran my fingers through his wavy hair. He woke up with a groan and buried his head in my hands.

"Oh God that feels sooo good... Uhmmm!" He moaned.

Wow this is what I've been missing out all the times I left?!

His open eyes were met with my smiling face and he whispered "Hey"

"Hii" I felt fluttery.

"You are so soft and warm" he said in his sleepy voice. That's when I noticed how close we were, my boöbs pressed against his side and our legs tangled. Human contact actually felt nice.

"I'm so glad to see you here in my arms" he whispered as if saying out loud would make me vanish.

"Are you this weird every morning?" I giggled.

"Why don't you find out?" He kissed my nose. And it felt like I melted my heart.

"You know we have to get out of the bed at some point right?" I asked with a roll of my eyes. Dismissing the notion of staying in his bed for multiple mornings.

"I kind of like it here" his hands were drawing circles and moving up and down.

"For the longest time I thought I was allergic to hugs" I said randomly.

"And now?" He asked with a smile.

"And now I still feel the need to get out of this bed so move!" I pushed him back.

"We'll have to do something about that" he laughed and pulled me back.

"Like what?"

"I'm going to hug you every single moment I can, until you fall in love with hugs" he said looking straight into my eyes.

"Now I kinda miss the old rude Mr. Stranger, this one is too romantic for my own good." I laughed.

"You can have anyone you want, just ask" he hugged me.

We laid still for a few minutes until I looked into a cave.

"Ew clean your ear!" I screamed.

"Clean my what?" He asked confused.

"See you can't even hear properly!"

"Huh?"

"Just get some earbuds and clean yourself"

"I don't think I have them."

"So let's get them!" My eyes twinkled. "That can be our second date!" I squealed.

"Buying earbuds?" He asked probably already questioning this dating thing.

"No Mr. I-can't-hear-anything, we are going to Target! (A/N: Or Walmart, or Dmart or whatever general store is in your area idk)"

~•~

We have been in this store for a hot minute now and we already have a lot of stuff we don't necessarily need but bought it 'Just in case'. Like who even uses a scoop spoon for Ice-cream? I usually just dig in.

"Hey babe I think I saw some earbuds in the last isle, isn't it like the whole point we came here?"

He was just apologizing to me on our ride here that's how sorry he was to kidnap me but how that's the most wonderful bad decision he made his entire life and he's going to lift all the restrictions soon and we are going to date like two normal humans and now he thinks getting earbuds is the only reason I'm here?

"Hush! I'm looking for David and Liza!" I whispered.

"Who?" He looked around.

"Who? WHO? Oh just the legend of a couple who hangs around Targets! How do you not know them? Honestly you need to stay inside more" he pushed my trolley.

"Sure thing babe" he rolled his eyes.

"And stop calling me babe"

"What's wrong with that?" His voice cracking at the end.

"It's just too generic and we are nothing but" I looked back at him.

"So... Princess?"

"Nope I'd rather be a Khaleesi"

"Game of Thrones seriously?" He laughed.

"Hey not every Khaleesi can get a Khal, we have to do with people like you!"

"You are saying I'm not capable of being a Khal?" He asked, offended.

"I'm saying that we can't get everything we want, sometimes those things are married with two kids."

"Ohkay that's it!"

Also hey you know your GOT what do you think about-" kiss.

"Did you seriously get jealous of a fictional character?" I smiled.

"Oh you and I know the 'fictional character' is not the one I'm jealous about" he rolled his eyes and pulled us to the counter.

[Picture of Jason Momoa's reaction at Alex being jealous of him]

Now I would have offered to pay, there's no arguing that... But I didn't want to blow my cover so I just picked up a snickers by the rack and added it to the pile of nothingness.

He texted Alana that I was safe and with him and I just went shopping by my self the previous day.

~•~

As soon as we stepped into the mansion we were greeted by shocked faces.

Alana was surprised looking at the bags Alex was carrying and the others were staring at me as if I found a treasure map.

"You never go shopping with me!" Alana accused.

"Is that Pringles?" Zach rushed to grab the snacks from our bags.

"Did you get my ice-cream?" Alex threw a box of Chocolate Chip ice-cream to Michael who just grabbed it and retired to his room.

Alex dropped the rest of the bags on the coffee table.

"Oh good I was looking for that!" Feyona grabbed the scoop.

Somehow the visual of a scary lady looking for a scoop was just weird.

"What we mean to say is that we are glad you both are okay." He smacked Zach and Michael on their heads.

I took out our dinner from the bags and did a mock salute to Brian who was grinning and winked at me. Alex followed my suit and took out his dinner too.

"So me and Ari are going to bed see you tomorrow!" Alex smirked.

"Ari?" Steve chimed.

"That's my name" I said and quickly pulled Alex towards our room. I can't let the pizza cool down, can I?

We talked a lot, feeling more and more comfortable with each passing question while having the cheesiest pizza ever while a random action movie played in the background.

It was as if our souls were finally at peace. Yes it was that insightful.

We switched to a romantic movie as we snuggled into each other and things turned steamy pretty soon but Alex was still reluctant to go forward seeing as I was just out of the hospital.

"Hot cakes!"

"What?" I raised my head from his chest.

"That's your nickname" he smirked seeming very pleased with himself.

"Why that?"

"Because when I eat you out molten lava pours out of you." He kissed my neck.

Oh fúck.

I flipped the switch on the night stand and rolled over him being exactly where I've wanted to be for so long without any complaints from him.

Let's just say the protagonist of the rom-com wasn't the only one that got satisfied.
