One Week Later
Alex�s POV
I carefully opened the door to Dana�s bedroom, not wanting to wake her up by banging the door op dropping any thing on the tray I was holding. I set the tray down on the floor and sat on the edge of her bed. �Dana, sweetie, its time to wake up now,� I whispered in her ear.
�Nuh uh.� I laughed softly as a small smile graced her lips. I kissed her tenderly then lifted up a plate of bacon from the tray and held it under her nose. Her eyes opened and she took the plate from me. �I�m up but I don�t want to leave this room.�
I laughed. �You don�t have to.� I reached down and picked up the tray and set it over her lap. �I brought you breakfast in bed. Happy Birthday Dana.�
�Thanks Alex.�
�Alice told me, yesterday. That�s why I was gone all day. Had to get your present.�
Dana laughed and smiled. �You got me something?� I nodded and stood up, walking towards the door. �You didn�t have to do that.�
�I know but I wanted to. Eat your breakfast and I�ll be right back with your present.� I walked out of the room backwards and quickly ran to Stacy�s room. I had let her go to her friend�s house for the night because I wasn�t sure how Dana would react to her present. I went into her closet and grabbed the handle through a blanket covering Dana�s present. I walked back into Dana�s room and smiled.
�Breakfast was wonderful sweetie.� I nodded and moved closer by a couple steps. �So, whatcha get me?�
�Well, I�m not sure how you�re going to react but, um, I thought you might like this.� Dana quirked an eyebrow and I put her present next to her, removing the breakfast tray. I heard her open the door. �I know its not Mr. Piddles but ��
�Aww, he�s so cute!� I looked up and saw Dana playing with the cat. �What�s his name?�
�Whatever you want. My friend�s cat had kittens but she couldn�t sell this one. I don�t know if the saying applies to cats but I guess he was the runt of the litter.�
Dana smiled and kissed me. �Thank-you.�
�No problem Babe. Alice told me how good a friend Mr. Piddles was and how devastated you were when he died.� Dana nodded and stood up, holding the cat. �Whatcha doing Danes?� Dana just looked at me and smirked. She went to her closet and pulled out a cat bed. Then she put the bed right outside the door and put the cat on it. She closed the door and walked over to the bed. �Whatcha do that for?�
�Mr. P2 is still a kitten. He�s not old enough to see this.� With that Dana moved in front of me, standing between my legs. She pulled my shirt off then pushed me back and pulled my boxers off. I looked up and watched as she pulled her shirt off then slowly untied the drawstring on her pans and took them off.
�Are you sure about this Dana?� She nodded as she took her panties off. I started at her as she stood there in all her glory. I sat up and ran my hands up her sides. �You�re so beautiful,� I whispered then took one of her nipples in my mouth and nibbled on it.
She moaned. �I don�t know how much longer I can stand up on my own.� I pulled back and gave her a devilish smiled then stood up and picked her up. I turned around and laid her on the bed. I slowly lowered myself on top of her. We both gasped as our naked flesh touched. �Alex,� she moaned. �I love you.�
I supported myself with my left arm and used my free hand to push hair out of her lovely eyes. I wanted to be looking in her eyes when I said, �I love you too.� I kissed her passionately, exploring her mouth with my tongue. She moaned into the kiss and I pulled her back. I looked down at her until she opened her eyes.
She looked at me, her eyes filled with love, concern, and desire. I leaned down and softly kissed her. I didn�t want her to see the shame in my eyes. �Sweetie, what�s wrong?� She caressed my cheek and I leaned into the caress. �Do you not want to do this?�
�Yes I want to do this but,� I couldn�t finish what I was saying so I buried my face into the crook of her neck. I felt her breath hitch as I slowly exhaled against her skin.
Dana sighed and rolled us over so we were on our sides, facing each other. I kept my face in her neck. �But what Alex?� she said softly in a voice that if I had been standing would have made my knees go weak, I couldn�t help but look in her eyes. �What is it Alex? You can tell me.�
�I�ve never done this before,� I whispered and although she didn�t say anything I know that she heard. �I�d been too scared with Bette and never had a relationship after her that lasted long enough.� I looked up, expecting to see disgust or shock on Dana�s face but she was smiling and her eyes were so full of love, there was no way I could misinterpret it as cruel. I mentally smacked myself on the forehead for even thinking that Dana was capable of cruelty. She didn�t have a cruel bone in her body.
�That�s nothing to be ashamed of Alex. You had something horrible happen to you when you were a child and you just now got some kind of closure with it. I mean, some people aren�t even ready to have a relationship at this point and you�ve had two.� Dana kissed me tenderly then slowly pulled back and rested her forehead against mine. �We don�t have to do this now if you don�t want to.�
�Babe,� I started but was stopped when Dana kissed me.
�Don�t worry about it. Our first time needs to be even more special now and a quickie before my party or before Stacy gets home is not special enough,� with that we both looked up as we heard a car pull up. We looked at each other and laughed. I climbed out of the bed and pulled on my boxers. �Now see, that would have totally ruined the moment and we would have been frustrated all day.�
�Mom! I�m home!� I laughed and shook my head as I pulled on my shirt. �Did Dana like her present?�
�Yes I did!� Dana stood up and pulled her clothes on quickly. I laughed as her arm got caught in her sleeve. �A little help here please.� I chuckled and carefully helped her slide her arm in the sleeve correctly. �Thanks.�
I kissed her nose and headed downstairs. I heard her giggle and felt her wrap her arms around my waist and ser her head on my shoulder. We clumsily walked downstairs like that. �Geesh, get a room you two.� Dana kissed me on the cheek and let go. She walked over and hugged Stacy. She hugged her back and winked at me. �Morning and happy birthday.�
�Thank you Stacy and morning to you too. Did you have fun at your friend�s house?� Stacy�s answer was interrupted by my cellphone ringing.
�Sorry guys.� I picked up the phone and answered. �Alex Desmond.� I winked at Dana and headed out to the living room. I listened to Stacy and Dana talk about possible names for the cat. �Wait a minute. What do you mean they have to be done today?� Dana came out and leaned on the door jam to the kitchen. �I might have to drop some. Why? Because I have plans for today that�s why. I don�t have time to finish them. I don�t care about that. I am not changing my plans. Goodbye.� I slammed the phone down and looked at Dana.
�Go finish your paintings.� Dana jerked her head towards Stacy. �I�ll make Stacy keep me company.�
�Are you sure?� Dana nodded. �Thanks sweetie and don�t listen to her. I love Mr. P2. You name your cat whatever you want. I love you.�
�I love you too. Now go get to work. You better not come late.�
I walked up to her and whispered in her ear, �I won�t be late but I will be cumming later, as will you.� I turned around and headed towards the garage.
�Alex Desmond!� I chucked as I closed the door and looked around. I didn�t really have that much left, just wanted to make that CAC jerk feel bad.
A COUPLE HOURS LATER
I looked around the garage and saw all my paintings, finished, finally. I couldn�t believe I was finally going to be able to show my favorite collection. They were the paintings I was most proud of. �They�re beautiful Alex.� I turned around and saw Dana standing on the steps to the garage, in a bathrobe. �You should be proud.�
�You�re beautiful but you know what might be even more beautiful?� She smiled and shook her head. I walked up to her and grabbed onto the belt keeping her robe closed. �You without this on.�
�You tease. You have paint on your lip babe.� I leaned in and tried to kiis her. �Oh no you don�t,� she said leaning back and slapping me on the arm. �You go take a shower and get ready for my party.�
I looked at her with confusion. �What you talking about Dana? I should have a couple hours left.�
�Sweetie, you woke me up at one and have been in here for five hours. You have two hours to take a shower and get dressed so ��
�So I�ll go get in the shower. Didn�t realize I was in here that long. Sorry babe.�
�Don�t worry about it. Just get in the shower. You�re covered in paint.� I smirked and ran to the shower.
AN HOUR AND A HALF LATER
Stacy�s POV
�How come we�re always having to wait for my mother?� I asked as Dana and myself sat on the couch waiting.
�Because you�re always stealing the clothes I�m wanting to wear. My shirt looks great on you by the way. Oh, and Dana, my shoes match your outfit perfectly.� I was going to say something smart but was rendered speechless when my mother came into view. �How do I look?�
Dana smiled and walked to the bottom of the stairs. She looked up to my mother. �I thought tonight was supposed to be about me? Shouldn�t I be the prettiest girl there?� My mother chuckled and finished walking down the stairs. �Are you ready?�
�Yes I am and you are beautiful, more beautiful than me.� The two of them kissed and I groaned.
�Would you two get a room? Geesh, you two are so sweet I think I might barf.� My mother slapped my in the back of the head and pushed my towards the doors.
�Would you just get in the car? We don�t want to be late for Dana�s party.� I laughed and we all headed towards the garage. When we got there, I saw that my mother�s car was actually clean. �Climb in.�
�Alex, if we take your car our hair will get all messed up.� My mother shook her head and pulled the top out of the back of her Jeep. �Of course you were prepared for that. Fine. We�ll take your car. Stacy, get in the back.� I rolled my eyes. She was already staring to sound like my mother. �And don�t even thing about saying I sound like your mother.� We all laughed as my mother pulled on the top and we were off.
THE PLANET
Jenny�s POV
�It feels so good to be home.� Marina turned around and smiled at me. �I love you.�
�I love you too. Now will you help Alice with the banner? She won�t let any of us taller people help her, maybe she�ll let you help her.� I laughed and went to the other side of the caf� where Alice was hanging a Happy Birthday banner.
�Hey Jenny.�
�Hello Alice. Want some help?�
Alice looked down at me for a minute and nodded. �Please? No matter what I do I can�t get this straight. Every time Tina looks at it she says its crooked and I�m starting to get pised off.� I smiled and climbed up the other ladder. �If you could just pull it a little towards you and then up some.� I did as I was told and Alice nodded. She looked down and hollered, �TINA!�
Tina quickly walked over. She looked up at as and smiled. �Perfect.� Alice mumbled something as we climbed down then went to the bar.
�Tina, it looked straight the first time she put it up.�
�I know. It also looked straight when I put it up.� I laughed as she winked and went back to helping Bette blow up balloons.
As I was about to ask if anyone else needed help, a young man walked into the caf�. �Sorry we�re closed.�
The boy smirked and looked at me. �I know. I�m-�
�Howie!� Alice yelled as she waved at him from the bar. �Glad you could make it. Dana�s not here yet.�
�Oh! You�re Dana�s brother?�
�Yes and you are?�
�I�m Jenny.� I extended my hand and he took it but instead of shaking it he kissed the back. I giggled as I realized Dana�s little brother was hitting on me. �Dana should be here soon.� Howie nodded and I walked over to Shane. �Need help?� I asked as I saw her struggle with a roll of scotch tape.
�Please. I�ve never been good at wrapping presents.�
I chuckled and saw down across from her, taking the present and wrapping paper. �What did you get her?�
�A pair of Bewitched pajamas. She already had a pair of I Love Lucy ones.�
I quirked and eyebrow and looked at her as I pulled a piece of tape off and stuck it on the box. �And just how would you know that?�
Shane blushed. �Because that�s what I got her two years ago.�
�Here.� I handed Shane the wrapped present and she smiled.
�Thanks.�
�They�re here!� Alice shouted as she turned off the lights and we all hid. I didn�t quite understand the point of hiding. Dana already knew about the party. I felt somebody behind me and when I turned around I saw Marina with a finger on her lips.
When the bell above the door was heard and the lights came on we all jumped up and yelled, �Happy Birthday Dana!�
�Wow guys! The place looks great! Howie you made it.� Howie nodded as he hugged his sister. The rest of us walked over and hugged her as well.
�You look great Dana,� I said.
Marina chuckled and smirked at Alex. �You too Alex.�
�Shut up Marina. Stacy stole the shirt I was going to wear and Dana stole my shoes. This is the only thing I had that was clean and matched my other shoes.�
�I didn�t even know you owned a dress.�
Alex glared at Marina so I pulled her away. �Lets get something to drink Babe.� I didn�t know Alex that well but from the stories Marina had told me I didn�t want to risk them getting into a fight because Marina didn�t know when to stop.
Dana opened her presents after a couple hours of drinking and dancing. By then most of us were drunk. Bette and Tina left right after she had finished opening presents. Howie gave Stacy a ride to her friend�s house while Shane had to practically drag a very drunk Alice of the door. Alex and Shane looked at the two of us.
�You two go,� Marina said. �We�ll clean up in the morning. Shane said she and Alice would be by to help. You enjoy the rest of your birthday Dana.�
Dana looked at Alex and smiled. �I will. See ya guys later.� Marina chuckled as the two of them ran out the door.
I looked at Marina. �You�re not going to be able to sleep with the place like this are you?� Marina looked over and shook her head. I groaned but smiled. �Alright. Lets start cleaning. The sooner we start the sooner we finish.�
DANA�S HOUSE
Dana�s POV
When Alex and I walked in the door, I headed straight upstairs. �I�ll be up in a couple minutes babe,� Alex said as she checked the messages on her cell phone. I nodded and ran the rest of the way. When I got in my room, well, our room, I grabbed all the candles I could and a box of matches. I quickly arranged the candles and lit them all. I changed into my bathrobe and turned off the lights. I looked around, trying to make sure everything was perfect when I heard Alex walking down the hallway. I jumped into the bed right before Alex knocked.
�Come on,� I said, while moving my bathrobe to show just enough skin.
�Hey Dana, I-� Alex stopped mid sentence when she saw me. I smiled and motioned for her to come all the way in. She did and closed the door. �Wow.�
I smirked and got up on my knees. �Well, it is later.� She slowly walked to the edge of the bed and knelt on it in front of me. I pulled her closer and kissed her passionately. I reached behind her and unzipped her dress. �I still can�t believe you really wore a dress today.� Alex chuckled as stood up and took it off. She climbed back on the bed and untied my robe. I let it fall of my shoulders. I kissed her again, turning us around and laying down so I was on top.
�Dana.�
I looked down. �Do you want me to stop?� She shook her head. �Then what�s wrong?�
�Abso-fucking-lutely nothing. I love you.�
I laughed as I leaned down and kiss her. I could die and be happy just being able to kiss her. I pulled back and looked her in the eyes. �I love you too.�
