Det. Alex Barrow

"No one can tell what goes on in between the person you were and the person you become. No one can chart that blue and lonely section of hell. There are no maps of the change. You just come out the other side. Or you don't."

[kiera-roberts-deactivated201405]

-smiles widely- I.. Fuck. You don’t know how good it is to hear you say that. 

[alex-barrow]

Almost as good as it feels to know you're my life from now on, I imagine.

[kiera-roberts-deactivated201405]

-stares back at Alex, listening to her. Let’s out a surprised relief laugh- 

Y-Yes? I.. Yes…?! -laughs some more-Yes!  -pulls Alex into kiss- I.. Fuck… I’m so happy. I love you I love you I love you. 

[alex-barrow]

-Alex chuckles an nods- Yes, kie. -she kisses back with everything she can put into a kiss.- I love you. Since that first night, I love you. 

[alex-barrow]

[kiera-roberts-deactivated201405]

I.. I don’t know. All I know is that I look at you… -swallows- I look at you and I’m home. I met you and I knew right away that you were it. I got stuck Al. I got stuck and I’m a total fucking coward and I don’t know how any of this work. Everything could go absolutely wrong but it doesn’t matter because everything I’m saying feels right. 

So… So come with me. Come with me and away from all this. We’ll never really know where we’ll be in a weeks time, but at least will know we have each other. I want to wake up everyday with you beside me, and live in our little temporary house that feels like home because we make it home. I want to make love to you like it kills me. And I want to know that I can call you mine and mine alone. This is crazy and absurd but.. I want you to spend the rest of your life with me. Alex… I’m in love with you. And i want to live the rest of my life doing nothing but proving to you with absolute certainty that you deserve the world Alex Barrow. You deserve the world, but all I can give you is mine. So marry me. Civil union me. Get hitched with me. Elope. I don’t care what you call it. Be mine. 

[alex-barrow]

-She doesn't inturrupt, mainly due to the fact that all the air in her lungs has seeped out and she's left with nothing but raw emotion, both her own an what's staring back at her in Kiera's eyes.- 

I Kiera... that's. All I can see for either of us. Yes. Nothing but yes.   I god, I'm speechless.

[alex-barrow]

[kiera-roberts-deactivated201405]

-grabs her by the hand- Alex, you’re more to me than a girlfriend, please believe that.

[alex-barrow]

- She stares at her for a moment- So what does this mean? 

[alex-barrow]

We need to talk || Kirex

[kiera-roberts-deactivated201405]

Are you really though? Don’t lie for my sake. 

[alex-barrow]

I am, you deserve it. -she sighs and pulls away from her- and on the other hand... well I'm hurt. But that's selfish. You're not even my girlfriend. 

[alex-barrow]

We need to talk || Kirex

[kiera-roberts-deactivated201405]

I know… 

[alex-barrow]

I'm happy for you, Kie.

[kiera-roberts-deactivated201405]

-nods and swallows- Yea it is, it’s everything I’ve ever hoped I could achieve. 

[alex-barrow]

So, uh...when do you leave? 

[alex-barrow]

We need to talk || Kirex

[kiera-roberts-deactivated201405]

-bites her bottom lip and nods- It’s not really.. in one… place. The bottom line is that it’s not here though. It’s not in the states.

[alex-barrow]

- She nods- Uhh... well that'd great. for you. 

[alex-barrow]

We need to talk || Kirex

[kiera-roberts-deactivated201405]

-pulls back, keeping her hands on Alex’s shoulder- It’s just that.. something came up at work, it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and… and I’m exactly where I thought I wanted to be. 

[alex-barrow]

-She nods slowly- So there's a great job offer... guess the catch would be where it's at? 

[alex-barrow]

We need to talk || Kirex

[kiera-roberts-deactivated201405]

Come here -pecks before pulling into a hug- Al listen, I have something to tell you.

[alex-barrow]

-she just smiles and leans into her, hugging her back.- Yeah the suspense if kinda killin' me here. 

[alex-barrow]

[kiera-roberts-deactivated201405]

- blushes a bit at the comment, giving alex a soft smile- I’ve missed you. 

[alex-barrow]

I've missed you too. -she stands and moves closer to her- Missed that blush of yours too.
