Kate went back to her room when Tim left, she was still extremely turned as she slowly walked thinking about what had happen, she ran her finger from her lips all the way to her breast and gave it a gentle squeeze and bit her lip as the image of what happened was still fresh in her mind.
. After a while she remembered that she had just gotten back together with Alex and then the heavy guilt settled in. She wondered if she should tell him or just make sure it doesn't happen again so that way there will be nothing to tell. Kate decided that she will put an end to it because she did not want to mess up what she had restarted with Alex.
The following morning Kate woke up, the first thing she did was to call Alex, mostly because she was happy about her new beginning with him but also because she felt guilty.
"Hey! Good morning, how are you?" Kate said
"Good morning love, I am up at it again, trying to get these boxes sorted out, my sister had to leave early this morning and I am not even half way done and I'm drowning in things to do." Alex Said almost out of breath.
Alex was trying to move one of the boxes to the kitchen, he had it in one hand, the phone at his ear and a paintbrush in his hand and then there was a loud smash on the floor.
"Shit!" Alex shouted
"What was that? " Kate asked
"I broke a vase, are you busy today? I could really use some help"
"Actually I'm free today, send me your address, I'll be there in a few".
Kate decided to put on a sundress, a nice pair of flats, and she caught her hair back in a ponytail.
When she arrived she rang the bell and Alex came to the door.
When Alex opened the door, Kate looked at him from head to toes with a surprising look on her face yet hiding the laughter. Alex had paint all over him, he was in an old torn shirt and jeans, he was bare footed, and sweating profusely.
"You look like crap! What the hell is happening over here?"
Alex looked at himself and they both laughed. Kate then stepped into the apartment and started looking around, she could see boxes everywhere as well as paint, covered furniture and tools. She placed her bag on the kitchen counter and started helping.
"I know what you need, you need some motivation!" she said with emphasis rolling her palm into a fist and thrusting It forwards the sky.
Alex looked at her intensely and narrowed his eyes, but couldn't help but smile, before saying;
"I could use all the motivation you've got, so hit me!"
Kate threw a book at him
"Ouch! What did you do that for?"
Kate laughed and replied;
"You said to hit you!" Kate laughed harder
"you never learn do you"
Alex laughed as well and shook his head before responding saying;
"I should have known better"
When they were together before Kate always had a tendency of doing the literal things he said, intending to be metaphorical and Alex made it easy as he sometime can be an extremist, exaggerating things more than he needed to.
Both their eyes met and lingered for a while and they both smiled at each other.
"Anyways!" Kate said to break the eye contact
"Here's what you need"....
Kate then turned on some music, one of both their favorites Uptown Funk by BrunoMarz and slowly turned it up and started dancing towards him. Alex had a huge grin on his face as he started dancing too. They both danced and worked for hours and when they were through they both collapsed on the sofa from exhaustion. After laying there quietly for a minute or two, both staring in the ceiling, Alex started talking;
"You know... I tried moving on, many times, but I couldn't, you have always been a part of me and I couldn't shake the feeling...I have dated other women since we separated, but I kept comparing them to you, because I only wanted you," I still only want you.
He then turned and looked her direction and Kate turned and looked at him so their eyes met and then he said;
"I don't think you know the love I have carried for you, I had hoped you were waiting for me, I wondered every day who you're with, whose holding your hands, who's making you smile the way I use to, who's kissing these lips, when you called me the other day and told me you wanted to try again I almost lost my cool, I have missed you so much. I'm not losing you again, Kate Brumfield, I love you"
Kate's heart melted, she couldn't find the words to respond, though she knew she felt the same way, instead she moved closer rested her hand on his jaw and gently kissed him. Alex moved closer and kissed her deeper, they kissed like this for a few minutes and then he sat up and pulled her over on top of him, she ran her fingers through his hair and he released her hair from the ponytail she had placed it in. He planted gentle kisses along her neck all the way down to the top of her breast and then back to her lips.

She felt his hands move slowly on her thighs upwards, along her dress. He then lifted her from the couch and brought her to the bedroom, he gently laid her down and continued to kiss her, he cupped her breasts and gently squeezed them before removing them from her dress and circling her nipples with the tip of his tongue and then cupping them with his warm mouth and she softly moaned.
Alex placed his hands beneath her dress once more and slowly started to take her panties off when he felt her stiffen beneath him, so he stopped.
"Are you okay?" he asked
She stared back at him without saying anything and he knew
"You still haven't....?"
Kate nodded and Alex smiled laid beside her, pulled her on his chest and kissed her forehead saying;
"I didn't rush you then, I surely won't rush you now, whenever you're ready.
