Chapter 128

Maggie laughs when she finds the things she needs to make Macaroni and Cheese. She teasingly walks Alex through the steps of how to make it. Alex pretends to be annoyed, but actually pays attention and makes mental notes on what Maggie says.

"And Danvers, remember. When a recipe calls for half a teaspoon of salt, you don't take out your half cup."

Alex groans, feeling a blush heating her cheeks. "That was one time! I didn't look past the half part! I wondered why it called for so much, I ran out of salt!"

"Those mashed potatoes didn't turn out so good, did they?" Maggie asks, snickering.

To be polite, she had tried tasting it. She literally couldn't taste the potatoes. It tasted like salt.

Alex lowers her head into the counter she's been leaning against. She sighs. "No."

Maggie chuckles and then slips the tray into the oven. She sets the timer on the oven and then sets another timer for when she wants to check it.

"Now what?" Alex asks, leaning forward on her elbows.

Maggie does the same on the other side, a small smile on her face. "Now we wait."

Alex pouts at her for a moment before perking up. "I know what we can I to pass the time."

Maggie presses her lips together in an attempt to keep from laughing at Alex's exaggeratedly innocent expression. "Mm. And what ever could that be?"

"I'll give you a hint." Alex pushes off from the island. She circles it slowly, heading towards Maggie. "It involves you and me."

"How surprising," Maggie jokes.

Her eyes flick down to Alex's lips as she gets closer, close enough for their breaths to mix. Alex closes the distance between them, capturing Maggie's lips with her own. Maggie hums contently and pulls Alex closer against her. Alex is about to introduce tongue into the kiss when something starts beeping.

Alex pulls away with furrowed brows, looking around. Maggie releases her wife and turns off the alarm. She heads back over to the oven, grabbing a spoon and stirring the macaroni. She smirks and takes extra long stirring when she hears Alex grumbling.

She sets the timer again and walks back over to Alex, who immediately places her hands back on Maggie's hips and draws her close. Their bodies are pressed against each other and Maggie leans in teasingly, her mouth inches away from Alex's.

"Are you still mad, babe? Because I can just go make something else and not kiss you while we're waiting."

Maggie shrugs like it doesn't matter to her what her wife chooses. Alex looks at her blankly for a moment like she's not sure if Maggie is serious or not. Maggie begins pulling away, turning like she's about to rifle through some cupboards looking for something healthy to cut up like an apple or pear. Alex lets out a noise of protest and tightens her grip on Maggie's hips.

Maggie chuckles lowly and lets herself be pulled back against Alex. She wraps her arms around Alex's waist and leans in, not wanting to waste any more time with not kissing. Their lips meet once more, this kiss deeper than the previous one. Maggie introduces tongue not too long into it and melts against Alex when she feels more than hears her wife moan. This time, Maggie needs to catch her breath and pulls back, breathing deeply. She gasps when Alex uses the time to kiss her neck.

It takes so much more willpower than before to pull away from Alex's lips when the timer begins beeping again. Maggie manages to and stirs the macaroni and cheese again, trying desperately to ignore the sound of her wife breathing heavily behind her.

When she closes the oven again, she takes a moment to try to collect herself as she sets the timer one last time. Maggie turns around and bites her lip. Alex's hair is slightly messed up and she can't wait to make it more messy. She's leaning against the island, looking at Maggie with hooded eyes.

Maggie lets out a breath and without consciously deciding it, she's crossing the floor and pressing Alex harder against the island. She kisses her, one hand going to Alex's waist and the other going up to her hair. Alex gasps against her lips before kissing back full-heartedly. Maggie tries to get as close as possible and moans into Alex's mouth when Alex's hand moves to her hand to her butt.

Alex pulls back slightly, enough to tap on the counter to signal Maggie to hop up on the island. Maggie complies, and grins. At this angle, she has to look down to meet Alex's eyes. It's certainly a change of pace, since Maggie's used to being the short one in this relationship.

Maggie leans down slightly to kiss her wife and pulls Alex closer by wrapping her legs around her. Having Alex like this wakes her body up even more and the kiss quickly turns filthy. Maggie tangles her fingers in Alex's hair like she likes, pulling on it hard enough for Alex to feel but not enough to hurt. Alex gasps against her open mouth when she pulls on it, and Maggie can't deny how hot it is. She can practically feel Alex's abs through her dress, and she grinds against her.

The fact that Alex is still wearing her wedding dress, and she's still wearing her wedding suit, makes this moment mean so much more. Alex is about to say screw it and start stripping here when the timer goes off. Alex groans as Maggie unwraps herself from around her and slips off of the island.

Alex is proud of herself when she sees how Maggie's steps are more deliberate than usual, like she needs to pay attention to the shaking in her legs. Maggie turns off the timer and puts it away. She puts on oven mitts and takes out the macaroni.

"Dinner's almost ready, babe." Maggie says.

She's cutting up a peach and Alex comes up, wrapping her arms around Maggie from behind. "And here I thought my dinner was going to be you."

Next chapter, we get to the more fun (smutty) parts ;) I wrote like half of this while at a basketball game sitting between my parents, so I didn't go into too much detail... Also, that salt/mashed potato thing? It may have been based on my failure to make instant mashed potatoes in high school... And yes, it did taste like salt haha. Thank you all for reading and for your lovely comments! Stay awesome!
