A month outside the gates (a VA fanfic)ON HOLD

Chapter 55

Alberta'sPOV
Good god. Belikov and Rose were even more adorable now they were public. Not that I enjoyed seeing the sickly-sweet PDA overload.

Yuri had been wrong. Their timing had fallen by the wayside by the end of lunch. As had their cover. And control apparently.

I had reports coming in every which-way about their lunch date. Alongside their obliviousness to the world. As well as the PDA spectacle they'd apparently made in the lunch line.
"He started it, she deepened it and he made it PG." I currently had a very flustered Stan Alto sitting on the opposite side of my desk. "Well..." The asshole of a Guardian screwed up his face in distaste. "It was more like M rated. Seriously, no one needed to see that between a newly minted graduate and her just-barely-made-ex mentor."
"What happened?"

I had a hard time keeping a straight face, and not letting the amusement show in my voice. I'd already heard of this incident and I'd never cease to be entertained by Belikov's crumbled control.

"Well..." Alto scrunched up his face again. "He tipped her chin up, then pulled her into a kiss. She snaked her hands into his hair, tugged, and pulled their bodies closer together. Meanwhile, his hands have gently-and reverently- gone exploring. Right down to her hips. Milliseconds after she tugged, he responded by picking her up and perching her on his waist."

I mean, the man's so moral and by- the-book. Yet, he's all over his only-barely ex-student. Who now happens to be his superior. I mean, we all saw how she worshiped him, respected him and listened to him. Who knew it was all because she had a crush on him."

Seriously?! 'A crush'?! He had to be kidding. It had never been a crush. And was he seriously writing them off as a fling that wouldn't last the summer just started? He'd just said Belikov was lovesick and moral. Yet he was implying that they'd never work, that they wouldn't last. Was he was really suggesting Belikov would only use Rose? Unbelievable! The guy had no clue just how addicted to each other they were, just how committed and dedicated. They'd make it work, they'd make it last. Most importantly, they'd find the perfect balance.

The next Guardian in my office was...
