"You ready to go?" Alex asked as she grabbed the keys.
"Yep." I felt my pocket that had my phone and.. "Wait! I gotta get my wallet." I ran back to the bedroom.
We are going to a spot that has a few shops. Just to really get out and some fresh air.
"Now I'm ready." I ran back semi out of breath. "Let's go." I opened the door for her.
"Such a gentlewoman." She whispered just before kissing me. When we pulled back she wrapped her arm around my waist and walked out with me. I made sure to lock the door.
My door closed just as she started the car. I took her hand and interlaced our fingers in the middle of us.
Alex caught my gaze, again. I can't help it, she's so gorgeous and like a magnet, my eyes always find her, even in the most crowded room.
Today she's wearing a white base casual blouse with neutral color strips, light brown buttoned pants, with a desert tan nice jacket. Her hair is down, as usual. Her normal style unless she's teaching, she's in black and white then.
Her outfit is much nicer than mine, like normal. I just have a white almost cream colored sweatshirt that has a less than halfway zipper. Or course it's unzipped showing my black shirt. Usually I'd have black pants but I wanted to match Alex a little so I got some almost mustard pants that has some zipper pockets, which I love.
I honestly love Alex's style. Just not on me, it fits her though. And mine fits me. I mean I can pull off specific sweaters and stuff but I'd prefer not to.
"How far away is this shop area?" I asked. I'd rather not sit here for forever.
"It was ten minutes from the cabin and it's been five, so five minutes away."
I nod and continue to admire her. It's definitely admiring because I don't want to call it watching or whatever.
I actually love the woods. It's just so quiet and cozy. Except, I'd much rather be around Alex.
"And we are here!" She exclaimed as the car came to a stop. I blinked multiple times. "Were you zoned out?"
"Definitely. I don't even remember the majority of the way here. Except for what was said in my head." I unbuckled, "You are a great driver though."
I watched her smile as I kissed her hand. She kissed my head as her door opened. I can't even hold back a smile when with Alex.
We both got out and I walked over to her. The shops are really cute, it could just be me and my terrible sense I'm stuff but I think they are.
"Any store you'd like to go to first?" She asked as I took her hand again. Guess what, she's on the left side again.
"I'm fine with any as long as I'm by your side." I smiled.
"Mhm. If you see any, tell me. We'll go to them." She kissed the top of my head and I think I blushed. "I'm so happy to be out in public with you. It's so frustrating when we can't be." I squeezed her hand a little.
"I agree, it's really nice." I let out a happy sigh. "I just don't want you to lose your job."
"I know you don't. But I've said it wouldn't matter as long as I have you. Nothing is more important to me that you." She looked at me, "not even this silly job of mine."
"Correction, dream job." I said and she hummed. When her wind blew in the wind she looked just like a movie star, so fucking beautiful, like always.
As the wind stopped we stopped. Alex's arm wrapped around my back and the other cupped my face, then she leaned in a gave me an slow, sweet, innocent, yet passionate kiss. Just not to passionate, we're in public. I smiled and kissed her back my hands wrapped around her neck.
Once we pulled away we were only a few inches apart. We both looked into each other's eyes. Her eyes are so mesmerizing and captivating.
Suddenly footsteps approached and I was taken out of that state. I looked over and there was some man.
"I'm sorry if I'm interrupting but you two just looked so cute together I was wondering if you'd want a photo of that?" He said. "I mean you both look nice together and y'all look happy in the moment. I was just wondering if you wanted it captured?"
I glanced at Alex who was smiling.
"Um..." I'm shit at talking to strangers, damnit.
"That would be really nice. Thank you." She reached in her pocket for her phone.
"My name's Oliver by the way. I probably should have said that sooner instead of just walking up and being a creep."
"Well I'm Alex." She gave him the phone on the camera already. "It's all set for you just tell us when you are ready." We still have our hands in place and stuff.
"Alright just do what you two did when I say ready and I'll get the photos." Okay, he's a bit to happy and talks a lot. "... Ready."
Alex's lips met mine once again, I got the fireworks that I always get when we kiss no matter what. We did everything the same. Hopefully the photos look good.
"There you both go. I hope they are all good!" Oliver gave the phone back.
"Thank you, again." The dude nodded and walked off. Alex's hand stayed on my waist as we looked at the photos.
These are actually amazing.
"Wow, these are actually good." I heard her say.
"Yeah, you're gonna have to send me them. It's a must." I smiled as she put the phone away.
"It's done." She smiled. I kissed her free hand as it hand no phone now. "Oh! Can we go to that shop?" She asked as her eyes landed on one.
"Yes we can." I smiled at her. I haven't even seen the shop, but if she wants to we must. Especially with how her face lit up.
She kissed my cheek then took my hand and dragged me to the shop. I almost fell forward.
I looked around and it seemed to be a small bookstore. It also had a small cafe area.
Suddenly the warmth from beside me is gone and my smile dampers. I look over and she isn't there. Alex has already wondered off, oh shit.
She's not in the cafe, I can see it from her. That's a surprise since we didn't have any but she must be awake then.
I walked past a few isles before finding her in the poetry section. She looked like a kid who found all the candy at a store and the parents said you could get some. Of course I personally have not had that look. I smiled to myself before slowly walking over.
"Boo!" I yelled as I put my hands up behind her.
She jumped back, "Holy shit!" She yelled. Her hand went to her chest as she caught her breath. "Why'd you do that! I hate getting scared in public." She scolded.
"So private is fine?"
"Yes. I just don't want to scream in public." I took a step closer to her. "And you interrupted me looking at books."
"Mhm. It was totally worth it." And it was hilarious. My eyes didn't stay off her lips when either of us spoke. "I-"
Before I even finished the word her lips were on mine, her hand cupped my face. Looks like we had the same idea. One of my hands slid onto her hip as the other pulled her closer by the waistband of her pants.
Not long after I felt her hand travel down as her other went to my neck. Then I got pushed against a bookshelf as her tongue ran over my lips. Books can tumbling down and she instantly pulled away, surprised for a second.
God how I want to f...
"Well, well, Alex. You should be more careful." I winked and watched her blush.
We both bent down at the same time and picked up a handful of books. It's half my fault of course I'm going to help her pick them up. I would have anyway.
"You like poetry? I didn't know that." I said as I turned back to the shelf she was looking at.
"I love poetry. I love the way it's written, almost any type of poem. And the metaphors." I watched her smile as she continued to look at more books. "I like the ones by Courtney Peppernell, especially her pillow thoughts. Except I don't have the last two and they don't seem to either." I heard her sigh. Her eyes are lighting up again.
But I did take note of that. "Well do you see any others you'd want?" I asked her.
"Definitely! Those are just my first choices." She grabbed two others. I could watch her be so excited and happy all day. "I will read almost any poetry. My favorite at the moment may be love or romance ones then any form of it."
Noted.
"I think I'm going to check out. Did you want any books. Gosh, I'm sorry, you didn't even look." I saw her smile sink.
"Hey, no, no." I made her look at me with my hand. "I have plenty of books at my house. I still have to read most of them. No need for me to get more books yet." With my reassurance I saw her smile grow.
"You go check out I'm going to get some coffee for us. Okay?" She nodded then gave me a kiss before walking twords the resister.
When she was out of view I found a worker. ".. Excuse me. In the back is there possibly um the last two of Courtney Peppernell's Pillow Thoughts poetry?"
The lady shrugged. "I could go check for you? I think there is." I said yes and thanked her. I think she was probably my age.
"Yep here you go, miss." She came back and held out the books.
I took them with a smile. "Thank you so much."
Now to somehow check out and get us coffee. I walked to the register where I doubt she could see me. There was some dude running this one.
"Is this all for you ma'am." Holy hell. That makes me seem old. I'm nineteen.
"Nope. But could you like hide it from the lady that's coming over here?" I glanced at Alex who was walking twords me. Shit. "It's kinda for her."
I watched him nod and he quickly hid it and grabbed something to replace it with.
"I thought you were getting coffee." Alex gave me a confused look.
"The line was very long." I said. "I didn't want to wait and saw..." The dude pushed what I bought twords me. "... These bookmarks and candies and I thought, why not get them?" Convincing I hope.
"Alright! Well when your done I'll be outside waiting." She kissed my cheek and walked out.
"Thank you." I sighed.
"Yep. I'll also throw those in for free. Before you say anything, you can't stop me." Damnit. "Have a good day."
I restrained from rolling my eyes but smiled.
Once I got the book I said my thanks and left.

I walked over to Alex as she looked at what she got from the shops. My arms wrapped around her and one hand held the other wrist, trapping her.
I started to kiss her neck and jaw before I sucked a little, that's when she gasped. "Carter..." I just hummed.
She turned around in one quick motion and kissed my lips. My hands ran up and down her sides as one of hers did.
She flipped us and now I'm against the counter with her knee pressed between my thighs.
Soon her lips traveled to my neck and jaw, lightly sucking. My breathing hitched in my throat. I leaned my head back giving her more access.
She went to my earlobe and whispered, "bedroom?" I nodded my head as she went back to my lips. I felt her smirk as she lead the way, never breaking the kiss.
My legs hit the back of the bed and I fell backwards. Alex landed on top of my as her hand held the rim or my pants.
It's hot in here.
Our hands roamed each other until her stopped at my shirt and she pulled back. "May I?" She held the shirt.
"Yes.." she nodded for me to as she took mine off. I took her shirt off and her lips found mine again.
