Black Roses And Milk Chocolate

 

 

Prologue

 

 

Alexander Brenent stepped down out of his red Silverado truck to watch the sun set behind his recently moved into apartment. No matter how bad work got, being cooped up in his stuffy cubical all day wasn't the rizz after all, it was nice to know that she waited for him everyday when he came home.

 

Maggie had been with him from the first day of High School and into college, though their college years had been spent apart, she had always been by his side or a phone call away. She always was there, supporting him or encouraging him to do what he dreamed of, no matter how outrageous his ideas were, and to think during high school he had hated her, well maybe not the last year.

 

Alex had met her through a friend at the beginning of his Junior year; the young bright eyed innocently naive girl he had thought to be a terrible nuisance. `And to think now we live together and can't even be separated for more than five seconds with out calling each other.' He smiled at the thought.

 

Locking the car doors, Alex ran a hand though his shoulder length black hair and sighed. Maggie had been sick for a while now. It wasn't surprising either. His girl had the temper of a bull and was just as stubborn. When she set her mind to something, by god, she completed it, with interest. Being a professor at the local college was enough, but putting in extra hours and waking early to help students (`which was not in the job description' he thought wryly) was just too much for her to handle. `Then again, it's just that element of her that I love so much.' It was true, had she not been herself, he probably would've skipped college and be flipping burgers at the nearest fast food restaurant right now.

 

The lights in the apartment were out. `Probably asleep, the little spitfire worked herself to exhaustion.' Alex noted that the apartment had been cleaned top to bottom while he had been gone. ` Even on “vacation” she has to do something.' He shook his head, silently chuckling to himself as memories of their past floated into his thought.

 

Climbing up the small flight of stares that led to their loft (oh, how he loved that term), intent on taking a nap in his girl friend's loving embrace.

 

He stopped just outside the door of their room (His other favorite phrase) to savor the view it presented him.

 

Maggie was lying on their bed (ah the term was heavenly), completely clothed and unconscious to the world. `I swear, the girl could be kidnapped at night and she wouldn't even notice until morning!' Than again, Alex remember when just that had happened. He shuddered, pushing the memory of that day from his mind. All he wanted to do now was crawl into that bed and hold his angel close to him; to make sure she was safe.

 

Slipping his plain black t-shirt over his muscular chest, Alex watched Maggie wake from her peaceful rest. Big sleepy gray eyes starred at him out from under long dark eyelashes. Her full pink lips curved into the smile of welcome she gave only him. Alex sat down on the bed next to her, pushing a stray strand of chocolate hair away from her pale cheek.

 

“Hey there Angel. How's my baby girl?” Her smile widened at his endearment. He knew she loved it when he called her that.

 

“I'm alright,” Her voice was slightly husky from lack of use, ”How was work?”

 

“The same.” He picked her up and set her on his lap, receiving a giggle for his trouble. Alex buried his nose into her thick hair and breathed in her scent. Cloves, and homemade cookies. Home. “I missed you.”

 

“But I'm right there.” Maggie teased. It was true. His cubical was filled to the brink with photos of the two of them together.

 

“Yah, but I like the real thing better.” He said as he began to suck on his favorite place on her neck, where her shoulder and back met. She sighed with pleasure.

 

“Alex?” she questioned after a little while, her delicate hands soothing the skin on his strong arms that were wrapped protectively around her middle.

 

“Mmmmhph?” Was the reply she got from her neck, which made her laugh.

 

“Alex, stop it, I'm serious.” Pulling them back down onto the bed, Alex looked at her smiling face with loving eyes. “I know love, I'm just teasing.” She giggled as he punctuated “teasing” with a quick nip at her right ear.

 

“I was thinking,” She said, snuggling into his warm chest.

 

“Oh no, she's thinking, everyone run and hide.” Alex yelled in moc horror, sending her into gales of laughter. She needed this time to relax and he planed to give it to her.

 

“Alex, what would you say if I asked to see my family again?”

 

“I'd say, if it made you happy, lets pack up and leave tonight.” He stood from the bed with one hand raised and pointed to the white washed ceiling, leaving her to lye on her back grinning up at him.

 

“How did I ever find you?”

 

“A sorry bum,” She laughed and he drew closer. “With multiple piercing in each ear,” She laughed harder as he began to tickle her sides through her yellow tank top. “Who needed an angel like you to fall from heaven and save him.” He whispered the last part before he kissed her sweetly on the lips.

 

“Now M'lady Kit, I believe it is time for you to sleep.” He smiled at her blush.

 

“Alex.” She was embarrassed by his use of the name M'lady Kit, and it was utterly adorable.

 

“Alright, enough play, for now. Off to bed.” He tumbled on top of her in a bear-like embrace and flipped them so that she was not crushed under the weight of his firm body. Maggie sighed in contentment as she nestled closer to him and stroked his chest as she once again fell into a peaceful slumber. Tightening his hold on her, Alex slipped off into dreamland, with his Angel by his side.

AN: So, how's that for a start? Please R&R. I want feed back because this was a spur of the moment Fic. And if you people like it so far, I will continue. I plan to go back to their High school years together too, before the present time that I have it set in now. M'lady Kit stands for M'lady Kitten if you were wondering and has something to do with their past together (Hence Maggie blushing). Alex is a fantasy character of mine I've had since high school, as I am still a lonely and single woman. Again, please R&R. JaNe!
