Alex

"I found it at the bottom of my cupboard. Suddenly remembered having placed it there some time ago." I hear from Isabel as she lays down beside me on the bed, staring up. Her eyes go a little out of focus, like she is thinking about something, and then a grin appears on her face as she shakes herself out of her mind. "Sorry about that.I kinda zoned out for a moment."

"That's alright," I say with a grin, leaning down on my side next to her. She was probably thinking about us, at least, if what's going on in my mind has anything to do with it. I mean, not to long ago, maybe a couple of hours, I was worrying if she'd figure out I liked her, and now we're...dating.

I feel like a broken record, this fact repeating in my mind all the time, so instead of thinking about it more, I grin at Isabel. "So, where were we? Waiting for your mom to get home?" I ask, mischeviously.

Isabel

"So, where were we? Waiting for your mom to get home?" Alex asks me with a mischievious glint in his eyes and I can't help but laugh as I lie back with my head resting on the pillow

"Yeah...we were but I think you were planning on ways to make our precious little 'alone time' more ummm...how should I put this...productive?" I say innocently

"You do realise that once my mum finds out that little Alex,is no longer just a friend,you're not going to be so welcome here." I try to look serious but it's impossible

Alex

"Yeah...we were but I think you were planning on ways to make our precious little 'alone time' more ummm...how should I put this...productive?" She leans back even further, smiling up at me innocently from the pillow.

Propping myself up on her side with my arm, I match her grin and start laughing at her next remark. "You do realise that once my mum finds out that little Alex,is no longer just a friend,you're not going to be so welcome here."

"Well, Isabel," I begin, leaning my head forward to place a small kiss on her lips. "Even your mom can't resist the Whitman charm. It's so strong it's been patented." Kissing her again, I can't help but be glad everything is so comfortable right now. I mean, I was so worried that if she found out it would be really awkward for a while, and this is total opposite. It's such a relief.

Isabel

Even your mom can't resist the Whitman charm. It's so strong it's been patented." Alex says as he leans forward and kisses me lightly

"My my...very confident about yourself aren't you." I smirk and wrap my arms around his neck

"You know something...I'm glad we aren't all awkward around each other.When I had zoned out a while back I was wondering whether there should be some kind of adjustment period for us to shift from being friends to being a couple."

I pause to study his face,to see if he thought what I had just said was funny but he seemed to be listening intently.

"Thank god we're over with tip toeing aorund each other's feelings.To put it bluntly...it was driving me crazy."

Alex

"My my...very confident about yourself aren't you." Isabel jokes with a smirk, wrapping her arms comfortably around my neck.

"You know something...I'm glad we aren't all awkward around each other. When I had zoned out a while back I was wondering whether there should be some kind of adjustment period for us to shift from being friends to being a couple." Isabel says, becoming serious for a moment. Geez, it's like she read my mind. Except if she could do that she'd know I was an alien, and that's something she can't know. At least not yet. But I mean, I trust Isabel, and now that Maria knows…besides, if she were to find out later, she’d probably never trust me again. I’ll have to talk to Michael later. Putting that out of my mind, I listen to what she says next.

"Thank god we're over with tip toeing around each other's feelings. To put it bluntly...it was driving me crazy." She finishes, and I nod in agreement, kissing her again. It's like I don't want to stop kissing her.

"If it was driving you crazy, then it was doubly driving me crazy. I mean, I made up a story about needing math tutoring. You were in my class last year. I mean, it’s pretty obvious that I’m good at math.

Isabel

"If it was driving you crazy, then it was doubly driving me crazy. I mean, I made up a story about needing math tutoring. You were in my class last year. I mean, it’s pretty obvious that I’m good at math.' he says with a grin on his face and I nod my head in agreement

"Yeah...I have to admit,that was pretty lame.I was wondering what you were up to when you asked me to tutor you but I didn't have much time to dwell on it at that time.But...now I am glad you did.Otherwise I highly doubt either of us would have said anything to each other for a long time if not ever."

Absent mindedly I run my fingers through his hair,enjoying the closeness we were sharing.Focussing on him once more I pull his head down for another kiss,which I had fully intended for just to be a brief one but I kinda got carried away.

Alex

"Yeah...I have to admit,that was pretty lame.I was wondering what you were up to when you asked me to tutor you but I didn't have much time to dwell on it at that time.But...now I am glad you did.Otherwise I highly doubt either of us would have said anything to each other for a long time if not ever." Isabel says with a smile, before running her hand through my hair and pulling me in for another kiss, a longer one this time. I'm just getting into it when all of the sudden something flashes through my mind.

*Flash*

A young Isabel swinging up on a balcony, waving at a young me walking out to sit with her.

Isabel a few days ago at lunch, staring at me as I walked by with Michael and Liz.

Me staring pretty longingly at Isabel from across the restaurant today.

*End Flash*

At this last one, I jerk my head away from Isabel, shocked, worried, and embarrassed. Isabel didn't see those just then, did she? I mean, the first two definitely weren't from my head. What the hell is going on? I glance at her to see a surprised look on her face as well, and I let out a shaky breath.

"Um, did you just...see something?"

Isabel

The lyrics of Faith Hill's song 'This Kiss' race through my head as Alex kisses me back with more passion than before and I can quite literally drown myself in him...I sound crazy but who cares.

For the past few months all I had wanted was for Alex to take me in his arms and kiss me and now I finally had just that.Moving my body slightly so that I was closer to him I let one hand of mine move to his back,drinking in his wonderful scent.

Flash

Alex holding me as I cried after my dog had died.He was placing feather light kisses on my head.

Alex squeezing in next to me at the Beth Orton concert even though the row in front of us had place to seat a few more people.

His bedroom,both of us on his bed...looking older,say by a couple of years,he mutters the words 'I love you' as he kisses me.

Wow!!!!!What a rush.
Where did...how did that happen?
And I don't think I remember that last scene happening before...no correction,it hasn't happened before.So what was that?

"Um, did you just...see something?" Alex asks with a worried look on his face

I nod,unable to wrap my head around what I had just seen.That wasn't normal,I had never received images while kissing any other guy not that there had been many.

"Yes...yes I did." I reply breathlessly "What was that Alex?It was...incredible,I can't explain it.Did you see something too?"

Alex

Isabel nods, replying in a breathless tone. "Yes...yes I did. What was that Alex?It was...incredible,I can't explain it.Did you see something too?" She asks, sounding amazed in a good way. I mean, yeah it was a bit of a rush, but it's not normal. I hope it's nothing alien.

"Um, yeah, I saw you and I when we were little and then...you at lunch and me at the Crashdown," I tell her, leaving out the part about me staring at her all dazed looking.

"What did you see?" I ask, still trying to figure out what's going on. Also, I'm hoping she didn't see the same things I did.

Isabel

I sit up a little and look back down at him and smile."It was the sweetest thing.The first was you holding me when Duke died a few months ago and although I didn't feel it at the time,you were kissing the top of my head while you held me." I say and take his left hand in both of mine and kiss it tenderly

"The second was of you and me at the Beth Orton concert and how you stuck to me like a leech through out even though there was tonnes of place to sit in the row in front of us." I begin chuckling at the memory of that image

"And lastly,the one I didn't quite get because it hasn't happened yet so I don't know what to make of it...you and me on your bed,we seem older and you said...you told me you loved me while you were kissing me." I blush as I tell him about that last flash,I can feel my cheeks grow warm
