Hey! This is a teaser chapter for the sequel to my story Mistakes that begins 3 years later. I'm still working on it, and I'm definitely finishing it, but I wanted to give you a taste of what's coming up next.
Special thanks to Ravens Trinity who helped me hash out the story line a bit.
As always, I own nothing, and please review so I know what you think!
Alex yawned as she reached over to turn off the alarm clock, groaning when she had to shift slightly out from under Olivia's body to get the snooze button.
"Morning, love," she said softly when Olivia opened her eyes. She turned and pressed a kiss to the sensitive part of Alex's neck as Alex brought her hands across Olivia's bare back.
"Good morning," Olivia replied, finally pushing herself off of Alex enough to kiss her on the lips. "I hope it's a good morning."
Alex smiled. "Me too. How can it not be a good morning after last night?"
"I think you're going to be the death of me, Lex," Olivia said, smiling. "I'm getting too old for this."
"Yeah, but what a way to go," Alex retorted, stroking Olivia's breast. "But Liv?"
"Yeah?"
"Let's not get our hopes up just yet. I want to be optimistic, but…"
"I'm trying not to," Olivia said. "I think we need to be prepared if this doesn't work out the way we want it to."
Alex nodded. "No matter what happens in there today, I love you."
"I love you, too. I know I have everything I need right here. I just…"
Alex put a finger on her lips. "Me too, Liv. Me too."
They clung to each other as they kissed, and Olivia pulled away first. "I don't think I can do this again if it doesn't work out."
"Then we won't," Alex said simply, threading her fingers in Olivia's hair and pulling their foreheads together. "We agreed that if it got to be too much for one of us, we'd stop."
"I feel like we're giving up," Olivia whispered, choking back a tear.
"Hey," Alex kissed her, wiping her cheek. "We're not giving up yet. Let's just see what happens today, okay?" Olivia nodded.
A thump against the bedroom door and a loud 'meow!' made both of them laugh.
"I guess we better go feed the petite bête," Alex said, pulling off the sheet and out from underneath Olivia. "He's mad he didn't get to cuddle last night."
"Well, if he hadn't come in and started biting me right when I was in the middle of something, he wouldn't have gotten kicked out. I wasn't about to let him back in after that."
"He just doesn't like it when we cuddle without him." Alex explained.
"I like it better when we cuddle without him."
"Don't let him hear you say that, or he'll never leave us alone."
"He's a cat, Lex. He can deal with the door being closed once in a while."
Alex slipped into her robe and handed Olivia hers before opening the door.
"I'll put on the coffee and then I'll join you?" Olivia asked.
"Sure," Alex said, smiling over her shoulder. "And then we'll go see about our baby."
Please take a few seconds to tell me what you think of this very short first chapter. I will hopefully begin writing this at the same time as I'm wrapping up Mistakes. If you haven't read that one yet, I encourage you to!
