Captured for Interrogation

Alexis signaled for the check, and she paid the bill, leaving a generous tip. Offering her arm, they walked back to her apartment, where she changed into flannel pajamas and showed Nikolai a wide array of movies. "Daddy and I used to have movie nights, a new movie each time," she explained. "I got the collection when he died. Take your pick."

 

[bindingeagle]

"I was hoping you would pick. I did pick the last one, and you were under duress." Nikolai said, kissing Alexis playfully.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis giggled and kissed him pack. She sat back on her heels, musing. She finally chose Van Helsing, and showed it to him. "You'll enjoy this," she told him, popping it in and curled up next to him.

Nikola ran his fingers through her hair during he movie. He didn't want to get erotic with her, as she had had a hard play session the night before. He just wanted her to know he cared about her and wanted to be with him even if sex wasn't involved.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis leaned up against him, the head petting soothing her and she was loving the gentleness he was displaying. She sat curled up in her flannel PJs and smiled the entire time.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai finally turned off the movie at the end of the credits. He was so tired he didn't want to move, and Alexis was falling asleep on him. It almost seemed criminal to wake her up, and she was cute when she made those little noises she denied making. One day he would record them to annoy her. He managed to carry her in and tuck her under the blankets, and was soon asleep himself.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis woke up a few hours later, feeling confused and realized that she was in her bed, curled up next to Nikolai, and smiled. She draped an arm and a leg around him and snuggled closer and closed her eyes again.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai felt Alexis move on the bed and awoke. He realized that nothing was wrong, snuggled closer, and went back to sleep.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis woke up a few hours later and just laid there for a few minutes, studying Nikolai. She smiled happily, looking at his strong features and kind face. She enjoyed it.

When he began to stir, she closed her eyes and made little noises.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai awoke and saw Alexis asleep, or so he thought. He had to check though. He said, "I think I left a wet glass on the hard wood last night."

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis continued her ruse, trying her best not to giggle. This time he fell for it, and she was happy.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikola got up and wandered the apartment for a bit. He was determined to have Alexis cook for him this morning. He sat down and turned on Saturday morning cartoons.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis giggled and when she realized that Nikolai wasn't coming back, got up and saw him in the living room, walked into the kitchen and started toasting bagels.

 

[bindingeagle]

"American educational channel, I swear1"Nikolai said as she came in, but not changing the channel. He took a bagel from the plate and spread some cream cheese on it. "Today should be your day," Nikolai said, "Whatever you want."

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis tapped her bagel against her nose thoughtfully. "Hmmmm. . . " she mused.

 

[bindingeagle]

"There has to be something you think I'd enjoy ding with you," Nikolai said, getting more coffee. "And not sex, that's both cheating and entirely too obvious."

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis laughed. "I mainly go to the library in my free time," she confessed.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Sounds good," Nikolai said, He dressed in jeans and a plaid short sleeved shirt. "Ready when you are,"

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis dressed up in a short little sundress and led the way to her favorite library and curling up in one of the chairs and began reading.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai had to get used to the new filing system, but he eventually figured out what he wanted. He signed himself up for a card and got some Steven King, along with a couple humor books and a Field and Stream.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis was catching up on the local hunting news, occasionally talking quietly to some of the locals. She also checked out a few books and smiled at him.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai set his books in the trunk. "I never would have figured you for the type who likes to read. You come off as more action oriented." It was noon. "What do you want to do with he rest of your day?"

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis laughed and playfully swats him. "Hey!" she said happily. "And, hmmmm. . . . " she tapped the magazine onto her nose, smiling. "Let's go to the gym," she said.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai agreed, and soon he was in gym shorts and a muscle shirt. When they got in, he said, "Where do you want to start?"

 

[celestialdragon]

"I always do treadmill, first," Alexis said, hopping on and starting to run.
