Captured for Interrogation

"Hey, now, don't go starting things if you can't take the reprecussions," Nikolai said. "Enjoy the fact that I can't retaliate now, youll regret it later." He smiled wickedly back.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis laughed happily and continued for a few minutes before stopping and looked innocently at him. "You wouldn't retaliate against cute, little innocent me, would you?" she asked playfully.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Only if you were feeling better," Nikolai said,"and besides, I think I've already proven myself capable of retaliation."

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis batted her eyes at him before convulsing into giggles and smiles

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai held her for a while and finally said, "You stay in bed, I'll take care of you today."

 

[celestialdragon]

"I don't stay in bed too well," Alexis confessed. She liked the fact he wanted to take care of her. She burrowed back underneath the covers and grabbed a book. "Would this be acceptable?" she asked playfully.

 

[bindingeagle]

"That's fine. But no full contact rugby, OK"

 

[celestialdragon]

"Yes sir," Alexis teased, giggling before starting to read and relax.

Nikolai spent the rest of the morning switching between reading some books and watching movies. At one point he went for a run, and then came back and made grilled cheese and tomato soup for the two of them. He made a tray and delivered it to Alexis. "Lunchtime!" he called.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis set down her book and ate happily. "Mmm, thank you," she said, kissing his cheek. "This is amazing."

After she ate and Nikolai took her tray away, she curled up under the blankets and fell asleep.

Nikolai spent the afternoon bouncing in between the computer and more movies. He checked in on Alexis, still thinking she was cute when she made those noises she denied making. He set a recording device next to her head for evidence.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis awoke a few hours later, yawning and smiling. She laid in bed, curled up and daydreaming, when she noticed that there was a recording device.

"Nicky?" she called sleepily. "Why is there a recording device near me? And can you get me some ginger ale, please?"

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai got the ginger ale. "Press play,"

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis sat up, took the ginger ale with a smile and a kiss, and pressed play.

She heard the noises she apparently makes in her sleep. She looked up at Nikolai, her eyebrows raised in a "explain this, please," way. She took a sip of ginger ale.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai simply said, "I win," and walked away smirking.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis smiled and shook her head. She was amused at what he did. "Well played," she told him, curling back under the covers and closing her eyes.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai finished his movie and returned with a bowl of leftover beef stew and more Ginger Ale foe Alexis.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis sat back up and gratefully took the stew and ginger ale from Nikolai and ate hungrily.

When she was done, she smiled and kissed his cheek. "Thank you," she told him.

 

[bindingeagle]

"I have the bags all packed for the morning," Nikolai said. "All we have to do is get up and go." He kissed Alexis. "Feeling better?"

 

[celestialdragon]

"A lot better, thank you," Alexis said. "I still get dizzy sometimes, and my body's tired, but it's a lot better than I was."

She patted the bed beside her. "Come cuddle with me, please," she asked.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai climbed into the bed and curled up with her under the covers. "Hope this makes you more comfortable."

 

[celestialdragon]

"It does," Alexis said, snuggling next to him happily. She kissed him.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai pressed his lips into hers and laid his head down on the pillows. It was good just to relax quietly with her.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis rested her head against the other pillow and closed her eyes, almost ready to fall asleep again.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai soon fell asleep as well. It had been a lazy day and he had never really done much to wake up.
