The Frozen Dreamer

Chapter two.

*a knock on the door interrupts Alex and I. Alex immediately gets off of me and walks into the living room. Three more knocks rapidly hit the door "this is the police open up!" A man shouts deeply through the door. The man is dressed in blue with a badge. His face is familiar. as Alex answers the door I stare at the cop. I've seen him before. I close the curtain shut and sit on the bed quietly. "my name is Jack Marshall" he says sternly and clear. Of course! he is the county sheriff. Me and Jack would always talk when he was off of duty. I run into the living room and look at Alex and Jack. They both stare at me as I run into the room "Jack!" I yell smiling as I run up to him and hug him. He hugs me tightly and kisses my cheek "why hello there! haven't seen you in awhile" he says. I back slowly to Alex's side. "so is there a problem?" Alex asks concerned "we aren't breaking the law" Alex points out "no there's no problem just that I seen how beautiful this house is and I needed to see it for myself." Jack says assuring to Alex "why don't you come inside and look this weather is getting bad outside" Alex says looking at the pouring rain. I go an turn on the flat screen to look at the weather forecast. "the storm is going to get worse" I say shutting off the flat screen. the lights in the house flicker "looks like the power might go out" Jack says taking off his hat and rubbing his forehead "you might want to head on out, we don't want you to get stuck in the mud" Alex ushers Jack to the door "well I guess I'll have to check in next time see y'all" Jack says as he runs to his police car. he gets in and waves us goodbye. Alex shuts the door a walks back to the bathroom, I follow him but I don't go into the bathroom I lay on the bed and wait. An hour goes by Alex is still in the bathroom. my thoughts eager as worrying I can't take it anymore I knock on the door and I hear water running "are you alive in there?" I joke. I wiggle the door knob and find the door unlocked. I open the door to see Alex's back bare and perfectly tan. Alex was drying his face. Alex has a tribal tattoo on his back of a Phoenix. "It's a tribal tattoo" he says ashamed astonished by the tattoo I touch his back tracing the Phoenix. "I didn't want to show you because, I never thought you liked tattoos" he says even more ashamed. "what are you talking about! Alex it's beautiful!" the tattoo is mostly black the outline of the Phoenix is a fiery red. "I got it because, I missed home" he explained. i abruptly interrupt him "as a matter of fact" I say pulling up the sleeve of my shirt "the first day I turned 18 I got this it was to show freedom of me from my demanding parents I decided on a water color rose that covers my bicep" I look at the ground. Pastel pink and a dark green cover my bicep "since I still lived with my parents I was forced to cover it up or I wouldn't be known as their child" I say ashamed I pull my sleeve back down but Alex grabs my arm before I can "this is beautiful!" He says looking at it with glossy eyes. His gaze finally meets mine and he kisses me without a notice and returns his attention on my arm after a quick peck on my lips as he wipes his lips with his other hand. To get off the subject I look down at my feet "so how long have you been eyeing me?" I ask lifting my head up and I smile "for awhile now" Alex looks at his feet ashamed of himself I lift his chin up and I make eye contact with him "I've been doing the same" i kiss him to drown out his shame. He cups my jawline with his hands and sits me up on the vanity. he smiles as I wrap my arms around the back of his neck "you're what I've been waiting for" he says running his hand through my hair as his eyes stare into mine. "I have something for you to wear tonight" he goes to a mirror door in the bedroom and opens it up, inside there is a white sun dress that he pulls out. "It's beautiful Alex!" I say grabbing it. "Put it on" he ushers me into the bathroom. i take off my shirt and my pants and slide into the dress. snug, warm and breezy.

I walk into the bedroom to find Alex sitting on the bed still shirtless. His body is chiseled. Beautiful. "You look amazing" he says smiling a wide white smile. "It's perfect!" I say in a low voice as he stands up I run and hug him. I walk into the kitchen and look in the fridge to find there is nothing to cook but there are two subway sandwiches and a bottle of wine. "I've been planning this night out for awhile now" Alex walks in and looks inside the fridge. "I actually had my mum by me some wine, but it's gone!" he says concerned. "Great, just great the sandwiches are here but the wine!" he cries out in agony. I hold the bottle out and smile at him. "You mean this bottle right?" I say. He smiles "you're a sneaky one" he reaches for the bottle "ah-ah-ah" I say pushing my hand on his peck. "Why wine?" I ask "it's classic, it's been running in our family for a long time now" Alex looks deeply into my eyes his baby blue eyes have me melting I lose myself for a moment as Alex snatches the bottle from me, I snap out of my trance that he put me in. "I was clearly distracted not fair" I laugh "your baby blues had me melting" I walk over and trace my finger over his body I get close to his face and talk lightly as if I were going to kiss him. I snatch the bottle away from him and turn around and walk back to my spot. "It works both ways you know" I say handing the bottle back to him. His eyes are wide open and his mouth is dropped "might want to close your mouth they say you can get stuck like that" I say smiling as I sit in my chair. he smiles and bites his lip. He takes two wine glasses from the cabinet, he opens the wine bottle and pours the wine filling the glass a third of the way up, the wine pours perfectly into the glasses. We both give cheers and sip from the glasses as we eat. "That was great but I'm gonna go lay in the tub" I say I walk into the bathroom and start to get undressed. Alex cleans the kitchen. I sit in the tub and relax five minutes later I open them to Alex standing in the doorway I take the dress and throw it at him "Alex!" I gasp He catches the dress and smiles. "I want to join" he says reluctantly, he takes off his pants and crawls into the tub slowly. "Keep your underwear on" I say "oops" he says and smiles five seconds later his underwear are floating in the tub. "Ok, well it was romantic until that floated up." I say setting my jaw I get out of the tub slowly so Alex doesn't see me in the nude. "Wait where are you going?" he whines i say with a sigh "somewhere your underwear isn't floating." I walk out with my clothes in hand I shut the bathroom door and dry off. It's around midnight and the lights in the house are still low I can barely see but I know that I can see Alex in the bedroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. "I'm sorry about earlier." he widens his arms broad and perfect "come here" he says. He hugs me tightly, "I don't know what you have been through but I won't put you through that." he kisses my forehead. I let go of him and look at him as he sits on the bed. I hug him one last time laying him on the bed, with me.
