It was getting late in the evening and it was time for everyone to go to bed. Lexi devoured her pizza ,she also had a chocolate fudge sundae for dessert. Alex and Jackson had already eaten their steaks and had a few drinks.
Everyone had finished except for Karmen, she set staring at the shrimp on her plate .Wishing she was still at the beach, thinking maybe the shrimp in her salad would swim off into the deep blue sea. Jackson peered over at the seven shrimp left in her salad. Standing up he puts his hand out for her to take
"Let's go to bed Babe ,looks like you're going back on a protein shake."
Wrapping her arm around his waist she laid her head on his chest ,pleading with him, "please let's just find one that doesn't taste like dirty feet maybe one from a vitamin store . Not that gross stuff the Doctor gave me." He tangled his hand trough her hair putting a gently kissed on the top of her head. His voice was low and kind ,loving and warm
" Babe why do you not eat ?do you have a eating disorder?"
She shook her head left and right, not knowing what to tell him, because she didn't have any type of sickness or disorder she was just born that way.
" No , I just don't get hungry. Even when I was a little baby my mom said I never cried for a bottle. And when I was a little kid I would hide my food so that my mom thought I had eaten it, but I never got hungry. I think I was just born this way."
Out of the blue he scooped her up into his arms, knowing there was no use trying to make him take the stairs ,she didn't say anything she just wrapped her arms around his neck and laid her head on his chest.
He Jumped to the balcony above them and gently put down on the ground.sounding slightly defeated he uttered
"We'll see Babe if we can find out more about your condition ,maybe if we look around we can find a protein shake similar in nutrition but taste better."
Down in the west wing garden ,Alex stands taking Lexi's hand asking her
" Sweetheart did you enjoy your pizza?"
" I did ,thank you ." She said in a sweet voice .
As they walked up the grand staircase, he leaned closer and raised his brows speaking seductive and low next to her ear "Sweetheart , are you a happy wife?"
She leaned her head on his broad shoulder running her hand across his muscular chest . She gazed up into his gorgeous hazel eyes gushing like a school girl. "Yes, very happy and I love you with all my heart,"
He kissed her cheek, whispering sweet love words in her ear "I love you to sweetheart , I always have and I always will. From the first time I ever saw you until the day I die.
In a sweet loving voice she recited her on true love story
" But I've loved you longer, I loved you when I was just a young girl, with a secret love for the hottest man in the country. I would go to bed at night ,hugging my pillow tight ,dreaming about kissing you all night."
He held her tight praising her beautiful love poem to him.
" Darling that's such a sweet little poem, You do realize our love has always been fated in the stars even before either of us were born that's why we are true mates."
They stepped inside their beautiful spacious, newly decorated bedroom.He closed the door behind them ,pulling her into his arms kissing her soft full lips.
She wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him right back with just as much love and passion as he was giving her. They stood there for at least five minutes , in a passionate kiss holding on to each other. Until Alex picked her up and took her into the bathroom. He took her bikini off and pulled her into the shower with him. He stood behind her whispering on her neck.
"Darling let help you wash your hair and relax a little bit."
" will you rub some of that wonderful cinnamon lotion on me too?" She ask him as she passed him her favorite shampoo "
"Anything you wish sweetheart " He washed and conditioned her soft curls massaging her scalp with his fingers tips. He ran his long fingers through her hair bringing the conditioner all the way down to the ends.
She passed him some honey scented bath oil asking him " will you massage my back with this, I love the way it smells and it makes my skin feel really soft after you get done rubbing it in."
Taking the bath oil in his hand, he squeezed a little out in his hand massaged her shoulders and her back rubbing calming circles around her shoulders and up her neck.
