Heavens On Fire

Sun And The Sand And A Drink In My Hand

Alex stepped out of the bathroom in her bikini and a pair of jean shorts, grabbing one of her beach towels as she walked into the bedroom. A wolf whistle caught her attention as she looked around for a ball for Demon.

"Well well well. Look at you." Gene had his arms crossed over his chest as he stared at Alex.

"Give me a spin, let me take in all of your beauty." Alex rolled her eyes and blushed, spinning in place to let Gene see the bikini they had picked out.

"Thank you for getting it for me, I'm not gonna lie, I feel extremely confident in it." Gene smiled and looked her over once more.

"You should feel confident in everything you wear. No matter what, you're always stunning." Alex gave a laugh and put her hand on his arm.

"Thank you Gene, you always know what to say." Gene smiled and pulled her into a hug.

"Alright, let's head down to the beach." Alex grabbed Demon's leash and put it on him, putting Demon's ball and some sun tan lotion in a beach bag she had bought. She managed to sneak away and buy it herself so Gene wouldn't snatch it up and buy it.

"Where'd you get that bag?" Gene finally had caught sight of the bag hanging from her shoulder as they walked toward the exit of the hotel.

"Oh, I um.. I bought it at that store we went to the other day." Gene stopped and turned his head toward her.

"The designer store?" Alex nodded her head in response, giving him a little grin. Gene sighed and pulled her to his side.

"Alex, please. No more buying yourself stuff, let Paul or myself buy it. There's no need for you to use your money when you're with us." Alex stopped walking and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Gene, did it ever occur to you that I don't enjoy you guys spending money on me, especially on super expensive stuff? Like, don't get me wrong, I love and appreciate the stuff I'm bought, but I'd like to buy it myself. You know, with money I've earned?" Gene shook his head.

"I get where you're coming from, I do. But you're just gonna have to get used to it when you're with Paul or me. I know damn well Paul spoils you and you know I would buy you the world if you wanted it." Alex let out a laugh at what he said. Such a hopeless romantic he was. She smiled and looped her arm in his.

"Come on, I might die if you continue with the corny shit." Gene rolled his eyes and led her out of the doors of the hotel.

"I would though, perks of being the hottest band in the world." Alex let out a breath through her nose and shoved him with her hip. They walked down the sandy beach and set up a few feet from the edge of the water. Alex bent down and unhooked Demon's leash from his harness, taking the harness off as well. She took his collar off and set it down next to the rest of his things, grabbing the ball with her other hand. Alex stood back up and whistled to get Demon's attention. Gene sat down on his towel, watching as Alex called for her dog.

"Demon, look bud!" Alex whipped her arm up, throwing it side to side as her dog's head tracked her movements. Alex lifted her hand up, holding it flat out and then turned it down. Demon immediately laid down, waiting for Alex to throw the ball.

"Ready bud?" Alex threw the ball into the water. Demon took off like a bullet, running into the water to retrieve the ball. After a few throws, Demon came out of the water and set the ball down next to Alex and trotted off and laid down. Alex grabbed the large towel she had brought out for her dog and spread it out in the sand.

"Demon, hier." Alex pointed to the towel. Demon got up and walked over to her.

"Platz." Again Alex pointed to the towel. Demon walked onto the towel and laid down. Alex began taking her shorts off so she could get in the water. Gene watched as Alex slid the shorts off of her body.
