Mr. & Mrs. Gaskarth | Feb 15th
Alex thought, since he'd gotten married before and being with Sophie already felt so much like they were a married couple anyway, he'd be perfectly fine but when February 15th came, he woke up with his stomach fluttering. Rian and Savannah had made their way over to England right after Alex had told them there was a date to get married and in the last couple days, the rest of the boys and his parents had gotten into town too. Sophie's parents had picked up the kids the night before so that Sophie and Alex were free to get ready for their appointment and head out there without having to fuss about the little ones. It was still early when Alex woke up and he rolled over in bed until his body found Sophie. The alarm hadn't gone off yet, so he knew there was no rush in getting up, not yet anyway and he was glad they didn't have to be there super early. This gave them a little time to almost sleep in. He didn't check the time though as he shifted more against Sophie, arm draping over and wrapping around her, face nuzzling into her shoulder. He smiled, half asleep still, when he felt her moving a little bit. "Mmh, g'mornin'," he mumbled, pressing a tired kiss against the back of her shoulder.
You would have thought that Sophie wouldn’t have been so nervous going to bed the night before. Not that she thought Alex was going to back out or she suddenly wasn’t going to go through with it, not at all but she had tossed and turned her nerves still eating away at her that she was getting married nearly four years and three kids later to the man that meant the world to her. Their friends had made it into town at different times and were all excited to celebrate with them. The boys would be going with them, and their partners and parents to the courthouse to get married where afterwards they’d have a dinner with their parents and kids before having a crazy party filled planned night out with the friends under the guise of Sophie’s birthday. Before they’d slip away for a few days for honeymoon for the two of them. She felt his body move and wrapped around her his lips on her shoulder as she hummed her eyes not opening. “Morning baby.” She hummed sleepily. She turned a little. “I’m gonna be your wife today.” She said softly.
Alex smiled as she hummed and turned a little bit. His arm tugging her in a little closer. "I can't wait," he murmured, turning his head a bit to press another kiss to her skin, finding the side of her neck this time before resting his head back on the pillow. "You sleep okay?" He asked before yawning a little bit. He had noticed her tossing and turning before he had fallen asleep. He wasn't quite ready to fully wake and get up yet, so he settled for cuddling her and enjoying this moment being curled up before starting the very planned out day. "Is it bad luck to share a bed the night before your wedding?" He asked after a moment, chuckling softly. "Wouldn't have wanted to wake up without you today though.."
He pulled her in and she snuggled down a bit into his embrace. His lips trailed her skin again and she sighed happily. “I can’t either. No cold feet?” She asked “I kind of tossed and turned. Nervous excitement.” She said she had a cute little white dress picked out for the day. “I mean you’re not supposed to see the bride before the wedding so sharing the bed the night before pretty sure that’s a no. Let alone no sex before the wedding.” She teased. “But I’m glad we stayed together too.” It wasn’t like they did things the conventional way either so what did it matter about old traditions.
He was nervous for sure, but it was more of a tingling, giddy feeling than anything that would make him feel uncomfortable. "No cold feet," he confirmed. He really didn't care much about the traditional way of doing things and he was lucky enough Sophie was willing to do things unconventionally with him. "No sex before the wedding?" He repeated, "And here I thought I could get in your pants before we head out," he teased, laughing softly before pressing one more kiss against the back of her shoulder. "We have a long day ahead of us today."
“Good.” She said when he said no cold feet because that was all that mattered. She didn’t care for the conventional way either thankfully they made it work, after all they had three kids before getting even engaged, let alone married and this worked for them. “Well, that could be your intention this morning.” She quipped, “and while it’s not recommended, I’m sure I wouldn’t have said no buttttt.” She dragged out since he said they had a long day. “We do which means we’re probably gonna pass out tonight as soon as we’re done celebrating.”
"What, getting in your pants?" He grinned slighty, his arm sliding down a bit so he could rest his hand against her hip instead of having it wrapped tightly around her. "Do we have time for that?" Alex questioned, nuzzling into her slightly before humming softly and sliding his hand up her side and then around her again, pressing himself against her slightly. "We have to be up relatively early tomorrow too for our trip," he said. He was looking forward to getting a few days for just the two of them to celebrate each other.
“Yes, I mean you’ve never been worried before but if you want to hold off until our wedding night or well maybe the next day.” Given how tired they might be after dinner with their parents and kids and celebrating with friends and having to be up early for travel. “When has time ever stopped you?” She rolled her eyes. Feeling him press up against her side. “We will but how nice will skiing in France be?”
"Time's never stopped me but I also figured we didn't want to be late to our own wedding appointment," Alex chuckled. He shifted, pushing himself up and moving so he could hover over her with a grin playing on his lips. "It'll be a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to having a good time with you there," he hummed, leaning down a little then and letting his lips find hers in a soft kiss.
“Mmm okay, okay. But no complaining if I’m too tired tonight and you don’t get your wife in bed.” She said chuckling softly as he shifted and moved over to hover over her, but she figured it was just him being playful at this point. “It’s gonna be so much fun the place has a heated pool with these massive glass windows it’s gonna be gorgeous.” She said as he kissed her and she hummed against his lips. “Well since we’re awake I guess we should start getting ready.”
"We're getting a couple days, just you and me. I'm not worried about not finding the time to get you in bed," he smirked slightly as he shifted to hover over her. "So, I'm getting to hit the slopes with my /wife/ and then get to hang out with her in the pool? I'm so lucky." Alex kissed her softly before they were speaking again and he kissed her again and again in between. "Are you bringing one of your tiny bikinis?" He chuckled, before letting one of the kisses linger a little bit longer and for a moment, he really did consider squeezing in a little morning quickie before getting up finally, but then their alarm went off and he groaned softly as he broke their kiss. "Okay, okay, yeah we should get up and start getting ready." And get a cup or two of coffee hopefully, he thought as he shifted off of her to get up and out of bed.
“Not even our wedding day?” She raised her brow. “WOW someone is getting old.” She teased. “Yep, the slopes and the nice large, heated pool all to ourselves.” The place she had found to rent was beautiful and stunning. “Oh, I’m bringing a few of those tiny bikinis but night time swimming is going to be strictly no clothes.” She hummed softly. When they kissed her stomach flipped a little bit before the alarm went off and she knew they needed to get ready. “Alright I’m gonna go take a shower.” Once he was off of her and she slipped off of the bed sliding out of her nightgown and padding across the floor naked and into the bathroom.
Alex laughed when she raised a brow at him. "Of course I'd be happy to get laid on our wedding day, but we're gonna have a long night, we're gonna party and if we end up being too tired for anything to happen I'm not gonna think anything bad of it," he explained. He didn't think they'd be too tired to be honest, but he still wasn't going to put any pressure on it. That wasn't them anyway. "Oh, so at nighttime it's skinny dipping, during the day it's tiny bikinis?" He chuckled softly before taking a moment to kiss her. The alarm disturbed them and anything that could've progressed further and so he shifted off of her and climbed out of bed. He groaned softly when Sophie padded off to the bathroom, fully naked and he was tempted to just follow after her, but they wouldn't really get ready then anyway. So instead, he grabbed sweatpants and a t-shirt to put on before slipping out of the bedroom and downstairs. The kitchen lay empty but the pot of coffee waiting on the counter told him either Rian or Zack were awake already. He found a cup of coffee and let the dogs out before heading back upstairs with a cup of coffee for Sophie as well.
“Okay I’m just saying don’t complain if you can’t say you got laid on your wedding night.” She teased. Especially depending on how much they drank. “Pretty much people could walk by the windows and see unless you’re okay with me skinny dipping in daylight and those possibilities.” She said with a shrug. Sophie took a nice shower getting herself extra clean before walking out and putting a thin white silk robe over her wet skin that clung to her body, her damp blonde hair hanging down around her shoulders as she walked out and saw that Alex had returned and he had a cup of coffee for her too. “Thanks.” She said taking a sip of the coffee and setting it down and opening one of her jewellery boxes and putting in some simple diamond earrings into her ears.
"Let's hope nobody's gonna just walk by the windows," he murmured. He let Sophie get showered and smiled when he came back and she walked out in a bathrobe that clung to her body. "You're welcome." Alex leaned in to steal another kiss from her lips before heading for the closet and grab the suit he was gonna put on. "I'll go wake Jack and get ready there, give you some time to get ready, yeah?" He offered. There was a knock on the open door and Alex glanced over to find Annie standing in the door. "Morning. Do you need help getting ready?" She asked as Alex slipped past her to find the guest room Jack was staying in and kick him out of bed so he'd get ready too.
“Well it’s a private property but still on a ski resort people could ski on by so if you want them to see my naked body I’ll go naked the whole time inside and take the risk.” She teased. “Yeah that would be good, I want to surprise you in my dress.” He hadn’t seen it. When Annie poked her head in. “That’d be great actually come on in we can get dressed together.” She said knowing Alex was going to go get dressed in the room jack was sleeping in and get him up and ready. Grabbing her dress from the closet she was happy Annie helped her slip into the laced-up lingerie underneath, the one good thing about one of your best friends they never found this weird before helping her with the dress.
Truth was, the closer it all got, the more Alex felt his nerves. He woke Jack up and made him get ready while he himself got dressed too. "This is way too early," Jack whined. He claimed he still was struggling with jet lag even though he'd been there a couple days now. "You can sleep when you get back here," Alex chuckled. "While we're out with our parents and the kids there's gonna be enough time for you to nap." He was excited to see Sophie, nervous but impatient about really doing this and he smiled to himself as he got dressed and tried to make the best of his hair. When he was all ready, he headed downstairs to get the dogs settled and then wait for Sophie to be ready to head out as well. They had to take at least two cars and he wasn't fully sure if she was going to want them to go in separate cars so he wouldn't see her dress right away.
While the lingerie was easy enough to be laced into, the dress took a little more time. It was a tiny dress adorned with pearls and sparkles that needed to be pulled up and then laced in the back which took a few minutes to make sure it was done right. It was on brand for Sophie something short and sexy and she had gone for something that could be both bridal and party so it could fit under the guise of them partying for her birthday early. Once she helped Annie get ready, she ushered her out to tell him to head out with the boys and they would meet at the venue so he’d see her for the first time there. She fixed her hair into soft curls and brushed her fingers through her hair and put rhinestones in her hair to give a little extra sparkle before putting on the necklace with Alex’s initial and her engagement ring. Pulling on a pair of Jimmy Choo pearl heels she waited till they left and both Annie, Savannah, and Sophie got into the other car and headed to the venue arriving in the private entrance and she had to admit she was finally nervous. “I’ll wait here will you go get Alex so he can see me before everything?” She asked both girls.
Of course it was easy for Alex to get dressed up nicely. He had gotten a new suit to wear that wasn't all too fancy and something that wouldn't come off weird if they said they were going to celebrate Sophie's birthday early and before he knew it, he was dressed and ushered out of the house. He was nervous now, not cold feet nervous, but shifting in his seat and tugging at strands of his hair nervously. "You good?" Jack asked when he caught him tugging at his hair again and Alex nodded "Yeah, just.. can't believe she's really gonna be my wife." He was sure he was gonna see Sophie when they were actually getting ready, so he was surprised when Annie and Savannah came to get him to see her. "Oh, yeah of course," he murmured, nodded and let them lead him to the room Sophie was in. He took a breath before opening the door to slip into the room. "You sure you want me to see you now before we..." he trailed off as he turned to look at her and his eyes scanned over the short, sparkly dress she was wearing. "Oh, fucking hell," he mumbled under his breath, eyes scanning over her before a smile started to spread widely on his lips. "You look absolutely stunning."
She had to admit she had full on butterflies in her stomach. As she stood there waiting for her soon to be husband, she felt anxious and was trying to not feel nervous. But that wasn’t really possible feeling her heart beat a little harder. When the door open and Alex slipped inside, she took a steadying breath before turning to him. “Yeah, I’m sure.” She nodded. When he saw her in the short pearl covered sparkly dress it was all she could ask for. Seeing him smile she smiled brightly. “You look handsome.” She said taking a few steps towards him. “You ready for this? To get married it’s now or never.” She said chuckling softly. “I think we picked out the perfect outfits for today too.”
Alex gently closed the door behind him before turning to face Sophie and she could easily take his breath away with how stunning she looked. He smiled brightly back at her and took the few steps to meet her halfway, hands reaching out to take hers. "I'm honestly pretty nervous, so.." He chuckled softly and then shrugged his shoulders. "I've never been more ready. I can't wait to do this." He took a deep breath to try and steady his nerves a little and gave her hands a gentle squeeze. "How are you feeling?" He questioned and then his eyes widened the tiniest bit when he remembered something. "I got you something. I wasn't sure if I'm gonna see you before so I would've given it to you after, but now…" he let go of one of her hands to plug something out of his pants' pocket. It was a USB flash drive that looked like a cassette on that Alex had written 'for Sophie'. It felt like years ago when he had sung that one never released song at a London show, making it very obvious it was about, and for Sophie and he had promised her to get it on tape for her. So there was a recorded version of it on the flash drive, his demo of 'see you later' and a few other songs, some full demo tracks, some just snippets of songs, lines, that he had written for or about her.
“You’re not alone, I’m nervous too but in a good way kind of nervous.” More the excited to have this happen kind of nervous. “But I’m ready to do this. I’ve been waiting for this for years.” She grinned and she knew he knew it. When he said he got her something she furrowed her brows them knitting together as he pulled something out of his pocket and saw the ‘for Sophie’ that was written on it. She glanced at it in her hand now and brought it up. “What’s this?” She asked looking at the flash drive in her hand. She didn’t want to assume anything, so she figured it was best for him to tell her. “Am I supposed to look at his now or later?”
"Very good kind of nervous, yeah," Alex chuckled. He playfully rolled his eyes when she teased him about having waited years for it. It was true, but he knew she would've given him more time if he needed that. He handed Sophie the flash drive and licked his lips as he watched her looking at it. "It's a flash drive," he said with a small grin curling onto his lips, aware that she must know what it was but rather meant what was on it. "It's not to look, it's to listen," he told her, "You can listen later, or any other day, I just.. promised you to have this and we recorded it for you." They had actually made an almost studio version of the song in his little studio set up in the basement of their UK house. "There's more songs," he added, "those aren't studio versions. Some aren't even full songs…"
“Good, good.” she nodded that it was a good kind of nervous, not a scared kind of nervous. That would worry her far more than anything else if he was suddenly bad nervous. “I know it’s a flash drive.” she rolled her eyes before listening. “Are you trying to make me cry?” she asked her hands running over the pearl covered dress. “I … this is the sweetest.” she felt her throat tightening. “I don’t know what to say.” she admitted, because it was far the sweetest thing anyone could do, him putting his feelings for her in a way that she knew was incredibly personal to him. “It’s far better than my gift, you suck.” she teased wiping her eyes. Moving she grabbed a little thin box, “So I know we have rings, but that you’re not thrilled about rings.” Which was very personal to Sophie. It was a card to keep in his wallet with a personal message from Sophie and their wedding date inscribed on it. “You can carry it with you all the time so it feels like we both have something. So you don’t have to feel like you need to always wear a ring or can choose when you want to.”
"No," he said quickly, "no I don't want to make you cry. I just wanted to get you something so you'd know how I feel." Maybe she'd listen in times of doubt and be reminded just how much she meant to him. "You didn't have to get me anything, and I'm sure it's not better or worse," he murmured as she moved and he let go of her hands so she could grab a little thin box, causing him to arch a brow now. He took the box and started to open it when Sophie talked and for a moment, he glanced at the card in his hand before glancing up from it to find Sophie's look on him. "Soph, this is.. It's absolutely perfect." It meant a lot to him that she found a way for him to carry around a reminder of this day, much like Sophie had with her ring, just that it left his hands free of jewellery. "Thank you. So much," he murmured and reached out to cup her face and lean in to kiss her softly.
“I know how you feel but this is… perfect.” she said and she meant it. She’d probably keep it with her everywhere she went if she could make it happen. A smile tugged to her lips, she had to admit it was hard knowing he wouldn’t wear a ring all the time so she had looked into alternate thins that could be done. “I almost contemplated us getting a thin line tattooed on the base of our ring finger.” she admitted, “But I figured this was something to start though yours is far better and more meaningful.” Though she wasn’t a song writer. Her lips pressed his softly for a moment before she pulled back and took a breath. “Okay.” she said. “Ready to go get married?”
"It's not more meaningful," Alex said with a shake of his head before he kissed her softly. When they pulled back, he smiled at her and nodded. "Yes. Let's get married," he said and reached for her hand again, this time lacing their fingers together so he could lead her out of the room to where they needed to be.
Their fingers laced and she felt the butterflies in her stomach when he said let’s go get married and she nodded her heels clicking across the floors as she picked up the very small bouquet of flowers they had gotten for the private ceremony. They were ushered into a private room where everyone was dressed up and looked so nice for just a small ceremony.
Alex felt nervous, his stomach was fluttering but with more of excitement than anything else and before he knew it, they were ushered into a private room. It really was a short ceremony, a few words shared, repeated, said and then he got to put the ring on Sophie's finger that perfectly fit with the engagement ring he had gotten her a little more than a year ago. He held his hand out, so Sophie could put the ring on his finger and while he was happy she had taken the pressure of wearing it constantly off of him, it felt good to have it in that moment, and he knew he wanted to make Sophie happy by wearing it. When they were allowed to kiss, Alex used the hand with the ring to cup Sophie's cheek and leaned in to kiss her. "Mrs. Gaskarth," he whispered upon pulling away and smiled widely at her.
The ceremony was short and she kind of was glad that was the case to not give anyone any time to overthink things. Before she knew it, she felt the diamond band slipped on her finger and then she slipped the band on his finger after repeating her own words. She felt his hand with the ring against her face and pulling her in before hearing him call her Mrs. Gaskarth and having chills go down her spine. “I love you.” she whispered before kissing him again and hearing their friends cheer for them.
Alex couldn't wipe the smile off his face as they kissed again and had their friends cheer and their families clap for them. They had a little bit of paperwork to sign but then were soon ready to go and they crowded together inside to take a few pictures before their little ones couldn't be kept away and they came running to them. "Daddy, why put ring on mommy's finger?" Willa asked once Alex had picked her up and settled on his hip. "That's what you do when you get married, princess. It's a symbol of how much we love each other."
They had a little paperwork to fill out to make sure everything was finalized but that was it, she was officially Mrs. Gaskarth, they were married to each other. Their little ones running up to them was the sweetest thing, everyone all excited even if they fully didn’t understand what was going on. A smile tugged to her lips when Willa asked about the ring. “It’s so mommy and daddy will be mommy and daddy together forever.” she said leaning over and scooping up Noah and Delphine who squealed.
Willa seemed to consider their reply for a moment, then nodded briefly and dropped her head to Alex's shoulder. He smiled and turned his head to place a kiss on the top of the little one's head. Their parents came over to congratulate them, they chatted with their friends briefly before they were off back to the house to rest before the party tonight. "Are we ready to go?" Alex asked after a moment . "Anyone else as hungry as me?" He chuckled softly, the kids were running around and he stood by Sophie's side, reaching out to rest his hand on the small of her back. "Let's go?"
She chuckled, “maybe we should have gotten the kids each a little thing?” She knew when the big wedding came to kind of let all their friends and family be apart of they could have a little ceremony with the kids to make them feel special too but she hadn’t thought that Willa would be more curious. “I’m starving personally.” Sophie said, “so they’re gonna stay while we go out to dinner with our parents and the kids and then our parents are gonna come take them with them and we’ll all go out to party and celebrate with our friends.” It was the best balance they could find for the moment. “And I’m sure Jack is counting down for a nap.” She chuckled softly.
"I don't know. Maybe. We can for the big wedding?" He suggested with a shrug of his shoulders. "Oh, Jack is gonna head home from this and immediately lay down and pass out," Alex laughed. "It's been too early for him today." Willa rested against his shoulder and he ended up carrying her out to the car when they eventually were ready to leave the building. They settled the kids in their seats and drove off, either back to the house or out for early dinner, late lunch thing with the parents to celebrate. They picked a nice restaurant to go to, one where they knew they could be in a private room which made it much easier with the kids and trying not to draw too much attention to them all. "So what exactly did you plan for your trip?" Sophie's dad asked eventually while they were at the table eating away. "Skying in France. We thought Paris first but it's rainy and cold there now, so we're going more into the south of France and skying felt like a fun active vacation," Alex explained with a smile.
“I figured we would, but I didn’t think about today really.” she admitted. Not that she was worried that the kids were upset or anything, more curious. “He will survive.” she chuckled. The restaurant they chose was a bit upscale but it gave them privacy and the ability to enjoy a nice night out. Given they wanted a private room with their parents and kids she was happy they got that ability. “Oh, skiing sounds wonderful. Sophie has always loved skiing and snowboarding.”’ her mother said, “Alex too.” From one of his parents. “Sounds like a wonderful time, and you’ll keep my daughter out of the stores shopping you’ll thank yourself for that later.” her father said jokingly. “Daddy!” she scoffed as a few bottles of wine were brought out for them to enjoy together.
"I don't think they necessarily need anything today," Alex said with a shrug. He wasn't really worried. The kids seemed happy enough to have all these people around who loved giving them attention. They brought a few of their toys to the restaurant to keep them busy and that seemed to be working out perfectly once they were done with their food and it was just the adults still eating and chatting. "Yeah, I think it's gonna be a lot of fun," Alex said with a nod and then laughed softly at Sophie's dad's comment. "I don't think keeping her out of Paris is gonna stop her from shopping if she wants to," he admitted, but really he didn't mind when she did splurge on things she wanted. Wine was shared and Alex was mildly aware that by the end of the night chances were high they were going to be very drunk.
The kids were thrilled to have their toys and Willa was all excited over fancy mashed potatoes and alfredo pasta, she was so much like her mother… “Keep it up and I will find a way to go shopping.” It wasn’t a threat to Alex more just they knew she was a stubborn person. He never minded. Which she appreciated as she leaned in and took another bite of her food and let out a low moan next to his ear just more for him to hear more to tease him before sitting up. “Are you sure you’re okay with the kids for a little bit?” her father nodded, “Don’t worry we’re so excited and we’ll be trading off with Alex’s parents until they head home so I’m sure the kids won’t even miss you.” he said and Sophie rolled her eyes. “Thanks dad.”
It was always funny to watch Willa at dinner because she was so much like her mother when it came to being excited about food. Though the way Sophie leaned forward a bit and let out a low moan, Alex was sure it wasn't just because the food was delicious; which it really was anyway. He glanced at her and arched a brow, but then focused his attention back on the conversation with their parents. "We do want the kids to miss us," Alex chuckled softly. "But I hope they'll be good for you anyway. Willa's excited to be with you." He dug into another bite of his food and then picked up the glass of wine after to take a sip.
When Alex looked at her with his brow raised, she shrugged her shoulders. She had a feeling they were going to end up very drunk tonight and she could tease and taunt all she wanted in between. “I’m sure they’ll be fine.” Sophie’s mother interjected, “they’ll be excited when you facetime them.” Which she knew was true. After finishing off another glass of wine Sophie sighed. “Okay I can’t do anymore… or this dress isn’t going to fit anymore.”
Alex couldn't help but grin when Sophie said she couldn't do anymore and he leaned over slightly so he could speak and only she could hear. "I could get you out of that dress," he told her with a wink and then leaned back in his seat to engage in the general conversation again. They got dessert for everyone to share once they were done eating and when some chocolatey dish was brought in, all three kids came scrambling over to get their fair share. "You know, for someone who did not like solid foods for a long time, you sure love this chocolate," Alex said to Delphine who was wiggling in his lap to try to reach more of the sweet food on Alex's plate. "Easy, you'll get a little more," he chuckled and got another bite on the spoon for her to have.
When he said he could get her out of the dress her hand came down and let her nails dig into his thigh. “You’ll be too drunk.” she tutted back to him. When the dessert came in the kids were practically running, climbing over them to get to it. “Noah, Noah,” she said helping him up. “Easy there.” she said helping him get his own small plate as her parents got Willa’s set. “She wanted to do things on her own time, thank you.” she said to Alex looking at Delphine all proud of her. “Not too much though or she’ll be sick.”
Alex let out a breath when Sophie's nails dug into his thigh, but he couldn't help a grin playing on his lips. "We'll both be drunk, we could still get you out of that dress," he teased, though chances were, she was right. By the end of the night, if they were too drunk and it was gonna be super late, they were probably going to just pass out once they got into bed. Noah was all over Sophie to get up to his dessert while Willa was climbing onto her own big girl chair to eat away. "I know, I'm trying," Alex laughed as Sophie warned him to not let Delphi have too much chocolate. They let them have some but made sure not too much and eventually all food was gone and Delphi fell asleep in Alex's arm while Noah and Willa went to play again and they spent some more time just chatting and talking.
“I guess I shouldn’t have put this special lingerie set on for tonight.” She murmured for him to hear luckily their parents were so busy fussing over the kids. “Got to be careful can’t get this over mummy’s white dress.” She said as she helped him so he wouldn’t dig his hands in. Once they let the kids eat and they were down and she saw Delphine sleeping in Alex’s arm she leaned into him. “I love seeing you be a dad.” She murmured softly.
He let out a soft groan at that and for a moment he didn't even have a good comeback for that. Maybe he was just hoping they weren't too drunk to enjoy their wedding night. They let the kids have dessert, ate some themselves and eventually Delphi was sleeping and Alex shifted her a little bit so she could lean into him a little more and be comfortable. He smiled when Sophie leaned over slightly and he glanced down at their littlest before looking back at Sophie. "Let's hope you'll say that about me being your husband too," he said with a small grin and leaned over slightly so he could peck her lips. "Should we head out soon?"
She grinned back at him happy to make her point. Sophie was thrilled to lean into him as he held their youngest daughter even though she was almost two years old she was still being held by him like little baby. “I already know you’re going to be an amazing husband.” She said because it was true, even when they had struggled, he had been so supportive. She gave a small kiss back before nodding, “yes or we could abandon our friends and go to a hotel suite.” She teased.
He playfully rolled his eyes and then smirked slightly. "We can't ditch the party. But if we head out now, we're not gonna have to head out to the pub right away," he said, licking his lips before they started to gather things, pay for all the food and drinks and get the kids bundled up and grab their jackets too. They said goodbyes to their parents, to the kids and promised to face time once they arrived in their hotel in France and then they were off to head back to their house where their friends were either still napping or just hanging out before their night out.
“I mean we could it’s our wedding.” She pointed out with a roll of her eyes. They gathered up their things and got the kids ready and with their toys and overnight bags packed full for the next few days. Kissing the kids she hugged their parents and they were off. Heading back to the house they got back and it was quiet and she figured a lot of people were still napping before they ended up going out for the night.
"But we want to celebrate with our friends," he reminded her. Because while yes, the idea of just sneaking away was tempting, he was also looking forward to having a fun night with their friends. The house was mostly quiet when they got back and Alex grinned slightly as he glanced around. He heard some shuffling in the kitchen and figured someone was making coffee or a snack, but mostly everyone just seemed to be resting up. "Follow me," Alex reached for Sophie's hand and started tugging her along with him, upstairs and towards the master bedroom.
“Yes fine.” She teased because she did want to celebrate with their friends. So when they got to the house she toed off her heels and bent down to pick them up before his hand took her and was tugging her up the stairs fast and into the master bedroom. “Alex.” She whispered, “you’re going to trip me.” She said getting into the room and putting the shoes down.
He waited just long enough for Sophie to take her shoes off but then he was tugging her along until they were in their bedroom and he closed the door behind them while Sophie put the shoes down. "You didn't trip," he reminded her as he leaned against the door with a cheeky grin spread on his lips. "We have some time before we're heading out," he said, reaching out to pull her towards him so he could then wrap his arms around her waist, resting them against the small of her back. "I think I wanna make out with my /wife/ a little bit. Is that okay with you.. Mrs. Gaskarth?" He asked, licking his lips and looking at her questioningly.
“No but I almost did.” She said as she turned to him. He was leaning against the door grinning and she couldn’t help but smile and let out a small laugh. His hands tugged her in and she leaned into his body his arms now around her waist. A shiver ran down her spine when he called her his wife and Mrs. Gaskarth. He knew how to sway her. Watching him lick his lips, “when have we ever been able to just make out?”
Alex pulled her into him and he was happy she leaned into his body so easily. They didn't have a long time between their celebrations, but this was all about them anyway, if they ended up late, who could even blame them? "We can try again, maybe this time we'll just be making out," he said with a grin and started to lean in, "and if we do more than just make out, that's perfectly fine by me." He closed the small distance between them to capture her lips in a kiss.
It was their wedding after all, they were married. They were supposed to be all over each other. “Mmm we’ve done this, try this thing before and it never works.” She hummed but she wasn’t complaining. “And you’re right if we do more.” She licked her lips. “The underwear I have on now would make that really, really easy.” She husked softly before his mouth was on hers.
Alex let out a moan into their kiss once their lips connected. He pulled her in a little more so she was pressed up against him and for a moment, he was really happy to just be kissing her. After a moment, he started pushing her back gently, moving further into the room with her and only breaking the kiss so he could make sure they weren't stumbling over anything. "What about your dress, are we going to ruin it if you keep this on?" He asked with a smirk tugging at his lips again, his eyes glancing down briefly before locking with hers again.
She grinned into the kiss when he moaned, she always loved hearing the bit of vocalness from him. He pushed her back walking her towards the bed making sure she didn’t trip. “It’s gonna be so hard to put me back into this dress.” She said since it was laced up. “But if you pull it up over my hips it’ll be fine unless you plan on coming on me but that wouldn’t be your normal ways.” She grinned. “How about we make out with my dress up and that way you can decide if you like what you see.” She said pushing him back slightly after another kiss. She wiggled the dress up exposing the lace band across her belly and the underwear that covered her pelvis that was flimsy and sexy and on each side a piece held between her thigh and groin leaving it wide open between the middle, essentially making it so she didn’t have to take the underwear off if he wanted to be inside of her. She crawled over him straddling him and brought his hand down to feel how the underwear were there but not there before kissing him hard.
Alex chuckled softly when she said it wasn't his normal ways. "If I end up being inside of you, we both know I'm gonna want to stay inside for any orgasm reached," he said honestly, biting his lips as she pushed him back slightly and he moved to sit on the bed while Sophie wiggled her dress up to reveal the lacy underwear she had on. He let out a soft groan at the view and happily shifted to give Sophie more room to straddle him when she crawled over him. Her hand found his and brought it down between her legs and honestly, there was no chance of them 'just making out' now at all. He loved feeling her, and his fingers easily slipped between her legs, feeling her, rubbing her as their lips met hard in a kiss.
It was a different piece of lingerie that she hadn’t worn before for Alex and she thought on their wedding it was the most appropriate time when they might want to just get to each other. After all this would be the first time as husband and wife. His hand moved between her legs with ease once she guided him and start rubbing her probably feeling she was already wet for him as they met in a hard kiss and her hands started almost ripping at his suit pants to unbutton them, almost in desperation and need the more in the moment, the more heavy it became.
His free hand caressed up her bare thigh, feeling the skin under his touch while his other hand was busy feeling just how wet she already was. Their kiss was hard and heavy, build up want for each other from teasing comments earlier was making it easy to get carried away now. Part of him thought to warn her not to actually rip his pants, but he was too busy kissing her to say anything, and he really didn't care for the pants that much either. He pulled back, breaking the kiss when Sophie had finally undone the zipper of his pants and he helped shifting so she could tug the pants down. "I really don't care for just making out," he admitted with a soft chuckle and in between kisses.
Their kiss was hot and heavy immediately and she was sure it was the build-up of emotions of being a married couple driving them. Their teeth bumped each other tongues tangling roughly with each other. She finally got the button and zipper undone and he pulled back to help slide the pants off of him so that they didn’t end up a mess. “We should really just be honest that we don’t want to make out we want to have sex when we say that.” Her breathing already heavy and fast. “And I need you inside of me like now.” She pulled at him to push down his boxer briefs and wrapping her hand around his cock stroking it firmly a few times. “Like right /now/.”
"Maybe there'll be a time when we really just want to make out," he chuckled softly, though currently he couldn't see that any time soon. Alex was so turned on by Sophie and all she did to him and when finally they managed to pull his boxer briefs down as well, it was obvious how much he wanted her too. He groaned when her hand wrapped around his hardened length and he closed his eyes and tipped his head back slightly, hips shifting into her touch slightly. "Fuck, then what are you waiting for, baby?" He asked, his hands moving to her hips to pull her in so she'd line up with him and could lower herself onto his cock, sinking him fully inside of her.
“When we’re ancient and old and shouldn’t be having sex anymore.” She teased because something told her he’d never agree to that willingly. She felt him grasp her hips and pull her close so that she could line up with him and he lowered her onto him and she took all of him easily inside of her and she groaned out softly her head falling back as she rolled her hips against him grinding on him heavily as she worked her hips on him buried deep inside of her.
"Who says we shouldn't be having sex anymore?" He questioned, but really, the way she was kissing and touching him had him way too distracted to really argue about that. His hands dropped to her thighs when she started grinding on him heavily, and he moved them up the bare skin and around to her butt as he leaned in to press hungry kisses against her neck and shoulder, nibbling lightly but not enough to leave any mark. This really wasn't lovemaking after getting married, this was more claiming each other and getting all their emotions of the day out a little bit at least. He was sure there was more than enough time for lovemaking when they were on their little trip, but right now it wasn't time for that. "You feel so good, baby," he husked against her neck before trailing the kisses up and finding her lips again in another heavy kiss.
“When we’re super old.” She said, chuckling. For now though they were young and happy and horny and well.. married. Which made everything feel that much more intense this time around for some reason. Her hips ground hard into him again and again whimpering noises falling from her lips again and again. While maybe others would have opted for lovemaking after being married, they were more emotional and creative and it pent up in different ways. “Oh fuck Alex.” She gasped her hips grinding a little harder into him feeling wetness slick down her legs and against his thighs. Her mouth covering his in a heavy kiss again until she broke away gasping for breath and pushed his torso down so he could see her grinding and riding his cock her head tossed back in absolute pleasure.
Her grinding got a little harder and Alex moaned into their kiss when her lips were on his again, heavily kissing. Maybe it was the fact they weren't sure how the night was going to go, or maybe it was just this want for each other from finally making that officially forever that had them needing each other so badly right now. Alex just knew that since they had this time, he didn't want that going to waste when it meant he could be doing this with his /wife/ now. She felt so good, grinding into him, sliding on his cock and the wetness almost dripping down against his thighs. When their kiss broke, she pushed him back and he lay back against the back, letting out a long breath and reaching over to grab a pillow to tuck under his head, making it easier to look at her, watch her grinding on top of him, riding him so perfectly. They were both still half dressed, but he happily focused on the way they were moving together, his own hips thrusting up into her.
She knew that part of this was the fact that they didn’t know what the night would bring. They already had a decent amount of wine in them and that always made her a bit more handsy and if they got full on drunk there was no way they’d have sex later they’d probably pass out and maybe catch up early morning before their flight but there was no guarantee and she didn’t want to miss out on their first time together whether that was now like this or later. He made himself comfortable and she felt his hips start to thrust up into her and grasped at his shirt after unbuttoning his jacket and she bit down on her lip to keep herself quiet bouncing on him and her head nodding on how good she was feeling.
Once he was comfortably laying back, his hands found her legs again, gripping at bare skin lightly as his own hips started thrusting up to meet her rhythm. His head was spinning a little, feeling the pleasure building up so quickly. Her hand grasped into his shirt and he could feel the ring on her finger pressing against him through the fabric. "Soph," he almost whined, because he was feeling himself getting so much closer so quickly.
His thrusts met her every move she made which made the feeling all that much better. She could tell they both weren’t going to last given the build up to this as she whined softly. “Don’t come yet.” She breathed as she stopped and shifted moving herself so she was still straddling him but facing away from him and started to ride him harder hopping up and down his shaft so she was both on top of him and he was taking her from behind as she rode harder and pulled his hand to reach the front of her to feel the wetness dripping from her with her want of him being buried inside of her.
Alex groaned when she told him not to come yet and then she was moving, shifting herself to turn around before sinking onto his length again, changing the angle the way she could now be bouncing on top of him. He let her guide his hands around, feeling how wet she was but also bringing his fingers in between to rub at her clit and add to the friction as he bit down on his lip hard. "So fucking close, baby," he pressed out, tipping his head back against the pillow. He had been so close already and it was hard to hold back now, so after some more thrusts and with the way Sophie was bouncing against him, he couldn't hold back the pleasure anymore. "I.. fuuuuck," he moaned out, lifting himself to sit up again as he spilled deep inside of her, his chest pressing against Sophie's back as he made sure to thrust his hips a few more times hard, rubbing against her a little more, eager to get her to reach that high as well.
She could tell by the pulsing that he was incredibly close but so was she. She just wanted to be a bit different when she came around him. She felt his fingers start to rub her clit and she tossed her head back and bit down hard on her lip groaning out to muffle the noise. When she felt him sit up and grab her, there was the sudden filling of him spilling inside of her and she came undone her legs shaking and falling apart around him as she hit her own release and trembled against his body attempting to come down with the hard thrusts and attempt to not collapse forward on him and fall off the bed onto the floor.
"Ohhh," he let out against her shoulder as he felt her release around him, his thrusts slowing down and coming to a halt as his hand moved away from her and he rather wrapped his arms around her, tugging her back against his chest to hold her up. He was breathing hard and heavy, trying to catch his breath as he buried his face against the back of her shoulder.
His hands moved to grab her and hold her up and she leaned back into him. “Mmm my husband does know how to take care of me so good.” She husked leaning more into his body as he buried his head against her shoulder. “And as much as I love you and you inside of me… I’m making a mess and this hurts my legs .” She laughed softly. “We really need to clean up.”
He laughed softly against her shoulder when she said they needed to get up and clean up. "Fine, fine," he chuckled and pressed a kiss to her shoulder once again. "Careful, we don't want to make a mess on our clothes," he teased as he slowly let go of her and helped her get up so they could scramble off into the bathroom and clean up before getting dressed again. When they were all cleaned up and fully dressed again, Alex found Sophie and cupped her face to kiss her softly. "I love you. So fucking much. I know sex isn't all but I would've regretted not having any kind of wedding night if we end up too drunk tonight. So I'm glad we had this moment," he murmured, pecking her lips once more.
“Yeah don’t mess up my dress!” She said as if it was strictly him. She hiked the dress up a little more before scrambling to the bathroom and cleaning herself up thoroughly. “You know crotchless panties are hot until your husband comes inside of you and you have to clean yourself up so you don’t make a mess when you go out in public.” She said as he cleaned himself up too. “I love you so much.” She said before chuckling. “They say it’s not a real marriage ‘til you consummate it anyway so we needed that.” She hummed pecking his lips. “But I’m glad we did too. Before you’re drooling on me tonight.”
He playfully rolled his eyes before following her to the bathroom to clean up and then get dressed again. "I suggested making out, you were the one straddling me," he teased, obviously just joking. When they were both presentable again, he cupped her face and chuckled softly. "What do you mean, me drooling over you?" He chuckled and finally dropped his hands from her face. "C'mon, we have a party to get to. And see if everyone else is ready to go."
“As if it was ever going to just be making out.” She rolled her eyes, “don’t even try that game.” Laughing as she fixed her hair a bit so it wasn’t such a mess. “You drooling from being drunk is what I’m presuming actually.” She tutted with a laugh before taking his hand. “Come on; Jack better buy us a round of drinks or I’m disowning him.” She joked as she headed towards the door and picking her heels back up to put on downstairs.
"You can't just assume I'm gonna be so drunk I'll be drooling, maybe that's what happens with you instead." He chuckled as she grabbed his hand to lead him out of the room and he followed behind, heading back downstairs to see where everyone was. "There you are," Rian greeted them from the kitchen and Jack glanced up to grin at them. "Can we go now? We want to celebrate!" Of course, Jack was the most excited to be out and make it a party. "Yeah, we can head out. Everyone ready to go?" He glanced against, his hand still firmly holding onto Sophie's until she needed it to put her heels back on.
“You’re the drooler here.” She said grinning. “Maybe we should sleep in separate beds tonight actually, so I don’t get all gross and drooly” she teased him. She got over to an area to steady herself and put her heels back on and she knew her feet were gonna be killing her by the end of the night but she wasn’t going to ditch the perfect shoes either.
"I don't drool when I sleep," Alex argued as they made it through the house towards the kitchen. "When you're drunk you do," Jack commented without even having heard the beginning of the conversation and Alex gave him a look. "Excuse me?" He turned his attention back to Sophie and shook his head. "You totally gave up your chance on having your own bed. You married me, we now share the same bed for the rest of our lives." He mindlessly reached out to steady her as she put the shoes back on and before they knew it, everyone was heading out and into the cars that would take them to the pub they were going to celebrate in.
When jack said he drooled when he had been drinking, she cackled with a laugh. “Told you.” She said with a proud look on her face. “Um no. No. I think it’s totally fair that I could absolutely totally fully sleep in another bed if you’re gonna drool.” She said. “Yeah, that is kind of gross.” Rian said and Annie nodded. Which just made her laugh harder. Heading out to the pub she knew they had a private area again to celebrate. “Remember everyone we’re here to celebrate my birthday before you guys are busy, no wedding talk.” She reminded before cursing. “Shit Annie can you wear my wedding band?” She said taking it off and the woman nodded slipping it on her hand knowing she’d give it back to her when they left. “What, we can’t be photographed with wedding bands.”
"Y'all suck," Alex huffed and shook his head. They were off soon and Alex arched a brow when Sophie took off the ring to hand it to Annie. "Wedding talk can easily be hidden by the news of Rian's engagement," he told her, then nodded towards Annie, "and apparently Zack's too if you're caught wearing that," he reminded them before shrugging his shoulders. He had the card Sophie had gotten him tucked inside his wallet, but he left the ring at home to not cause anyone to notice and start talking, since he wasn't really planning on wearing that all that much, but somehow seeing Sophie tug hers off so quickly to hand it to Annie caused him to grumble a little bit. There was something about knowing Sophie was wearing a ring that was ultimately the confirmation she was going to spend the rest of her life with him. But he didn't dwell on it but rather ushered everyone out of the car and up to the pub to head inside to their private area there.
“She’s wearing it on her right hand Alex not her left hand.” She rolled her eyes. “They won’t think a diamond band is an engagement ring or they’d tell Annie to find someone else.” She rolled her eyes as if they should have known that. “And I don’t want people saying we tried to outshine anyone with Rian or Savannah or the other way around.” So it was easier that way. Seeing him grumble a little bit made her grin. “Now who cares about someone wearing their wedding ring?” She husked into his ear. Heading into the pub people turned and there were whispers and a few phone flashes and she knew people were taking photos as they were brought back to the private area.
"There's nothing being outshined anyway," Alex said and shook his head a little bit. "But fine, if you think that's the way to go," he grumbled and when Sophie husked into his ear, he huffed out a little. "I just like you wearing it, not giving it to someone else," Alex said with a shrug and then they all headed inside. People were taking pictures, though Alex was starting to get used to these moments when he was out with Sophie and he didn't mind that much, they were allowed to be out and having a good time, even dress up a little. They were a few drinks in and just talking and having a good time when he felt his phone buzz and he pulled it out to see Maisie's text saying she was gonna be there in the next ten, maybe fifteen minutes. Sophie had so easily agreed to just have the band as their closest friends to celebrate with, and of course Annie was there too, but he knew she'd be happy to have another girlfriend there. One Alex knew and could easily get in touch with. He grinned at his phone and slipped it back in his pocket before moving to find Sophie, make sure she would be one of the first to spot Maisie joining them.
“I know that but people are awful so I rather this be kept quiet and you got to leave your ring at home.” She pointed out and her wearing one would stir the pot for sure. “Yes, well I’ll have it back by the time we go home tonight babe.” She said. Alex did keep checking his phone, but she knew there was so much going on with possible dates being added to the touring of the year, the candle company, just so much so she understood and they were having fun drinking and dancing to the music. When he moved her, she was confused before seeing phones flashing and a familiar face and she squealed so loudly and dashed from Alex’s arms into Maisie’s and she saw more people standing up and taking photos of her squealing and hopping with her. “I’ve missed you!”
As busy as work was for him, Alex wouldn't actually dare to spend a lot of time to focus on that on a day like this. This was their wedding day and he wanted to be present, didn't want to spend hours reading people's comments or seeing their reactions to things, and neither spending hours with emails and messages or phone calls. So the times he did check his phone it was strictly to make sure Maisie knew where to come and see if she could actually make it. So when he finally knew when she'd arrive, he found Sophie to move her more towards where the entrance to the private area was, seeing the confused look on her face until Maisie showed up and the two ran into each other’s arms and were jumping excitedly. Alex laughed softly and moved to grab himself another drink, giving them a moment before he too greeted Maisie. "Glad you could make it," he said with a grin.
She squealed again knowing she was making a scene and she didn’t really care because it had been so long since she had seen Maisie. “Glad you invited me.” She said. “I can’t believe I thought you were busy.” She was so surprised. “Oh, so that’s what you were up to?” gesturing to his phone and him. “I was busy pulling off a surprise for you.” She laughed and she knew it was best to get back in the private area. “You guys are both the worst and the best.” She laughed as they got a drink and she moved to introduce Maisie to Savannah who she didn’t know and reintroduce anyone.
"What did you think I was doing on my phone?" Alex laughed softly. He hugged Maisie and then ushered them all back into the private area where Sophie introduced Maisie to Savannah, and really anyone else again and he was off to find them each a drink so they could cheer together. Maisie easily fit into the group, she'd known them from years ago, but also whenever they were in London and did have time to hang out, or she was actually around in the states, but it had been a while since her and Sophie had time to catch up and Alex was glad it worked out this way now. He wasn't sure how many drinks later he found Sophie and held his hand out as he walked up to her. "Dance with me?" He asked, a grin on his lips.
“I don’t know, I know you have a lot going on right now.” she said honestly and she wasn’t going to scold him if it was important. Even if it was their wedding day. They continued to hang out, drink, have a good time, celebrate, and just spend time with everyone. Several drinks later she licked her lips as she finished off her next drink before Alex approached her. “Dance with you? Since when do you want to dance with me.” she teased holding her hand out to him.
They spent a while just enjoying the night and several drinks later, Alex was definitely feeling the buzz of the alcohol, he went to find Sophie. A soft laugh escaped his lips as he took her hand and pulled her in against him, one hand holding her hand still, the other moving to the small of her back and leaning in a bit. "Since it's our wedding day?" He murmured in her ear but then grinned. "Plus, it's not like I never dance with you."
She loved buzzed Alex he could be so amusing and playful, not that he wasn’t on a regular day but still it was just different. She felt him pull her against him and swayed to the sound of the music. “I guess our wedding day is a special day we should dance on.” She hummed happily. “I know it’s fun to tease you though. But you should dance with me more.”
They swayed to the music once they were close together and Alex held her to him while chuckling softly. "You like dancing with me? Is it because I'm such a great dancer?" He smirked slightly but playfully. When the music picked up a little, he let go of her back so he could twirl her around and then pull her back in. "We could do a dance class before the big wedding," he suggested, not really considering how little time they'd probably have for that, with the upcoming and yet to be announced tour dates and all that. But it could be fun, right?
“Oh yeah you’re the best dancer there ever was.” She playfully teased. “I’m submitting you to be on dancing with the stars.” Joking obviously, she was not going to have her husband doing all sexy dances with gorgeous professional dancers. He twirled her and she giggled turning back into him. “Yeah? Think you would like that?” She was sure they could make it work even with their busy schedule. “Would be fun to impress people with a special dance even if I love just dancing like this with you too.”
A smirk spread on Alex's lips and he raised a brow as he looked at her. "You're submitting me to be dancing with someone on tv?" Neither of them really liked to admit how jealous they could get, but honestly Alex wouldn't want to be watching Sophie doing all these dances with someone else and he doubted, she'd actually want him to do so either. His arm wrapped back around her and he leaned his cheek against hers slightly as he swayed with her, twirling them both and humming softly. "I don't know if I'd enjoy that. You'd probably have to listen to me whine about my whole body aching all the time," Alex teased, "but it'd be great to be able to do more than this at the big wedding. You know, since we're not really having an official first dance until then."
“I could, it’d be amusing seeing you in those tight little clothing pieces all skin tight. On national television.” she grinned but she knew as well as he did, jealousy was strong with both of them and she’d end up probably far more jealous than not and no one deserved that. Especially given the firm reminder right now that Alex married /her/ without a second doubt. “So you mean like any random day.” When he said whine and she started giggling like a drunk in love teenager. “I mean this is technically our first wedding dance just because it’s in a pub doesn’t mean it’s not special.”
"Hey, I don't whine all the time," he chuckled softly and nuzzled the side of his face against hers momentarily as she giggled against him. "I'm not saying it's not special, but we're not doing any fancy dance like on our big wedding celebration." He chuckled and once again twirled her, before tugging her into him. "Okay," he said after a while of dancing, "think we should get another drink, don't you? Don't want our feet to be aching if we're gonna want to be out on the slopes the next couple days," Alex suggested and took her hand to lead her to the bar so they could get a refill on their drinks.
“Mmm okay not all the time just some of the time.” she teased with a giggle. “I didn’t say it has to be a big fancy dance on our wedding but like a something a little fancy.” she hummed. Because it would be kind of special. “My feet are going to ache the next few days regardless have you seen these heels?” she chuckled softly like that was the most obvious thing. “But the slopes are going to be so much fun but until then another drink, I want something sweet and fruity.”
Alex's eyes glanced down to her feet briefly. "You should've put on more comfortable shoes," he chuckled, but he was aware how they completed the whole outfit. He led her to the bar and ordered drinks for them. With his glass in hand, he glanced around and then they were off again to mingle with their friends.
“But they matched the dress perfectly and they’re jimmy choo.” She protested furrowing her brow as if that would actually mean something to Alex. They ordered another round of drinks and she took a sip before they were off again mingling and she found herself with Maisie curled up with her and half falling asleep in her friends arms.
It was late when people started to obviously get more tired. Alex himself had to stifle a yawn when he spotted Sophie curled up with Maisie and looking like she was already falling asleep. He chuckled softly and headed over to sit beside them. "Think it's time to head home?" he questioned. It still took another hour at least to say their goodbyes, have another round of drinks to celebrate and then everyone was starting to head out. Alex was drunk, but he stumbled Sophie to the car just fine and chuckled as they squeezed into the vehicle and his arm draped over her shoulders once they were seated inside.
She didn’t mind falling asleep on Maisie, she had done it tons of times before but Alex came over a bit later saying they should get home. It still took a while and another round of drinks before he led her to the car or more like stumbled her to it but she got in and leaned into him resting her head on his shoulder and tucking her body into his as she relaxed herself on the drive back home.
The drive wasn't too long, but it felt like an eternity now that his body was starting to relax and he felt how tired he actually was. When they finally arrived, Alex tipped the driver and helped Sophie climb out of the vehicle. "Come, it's bedtime," he mumbled. It took him a moment to fumble for the right key but then he let them inside and upstairs without tumbling into anything in the process. In their bedroom, Alex took off his fancy suit jacket and started unbuttoning his shirt to take it off, contemplating more comfortable clothes to sleep in, but figuring just the boxer briefs will do.
Once they got home everyone was stumbling into the house, but Alex and Sophie headed up to bed knowing everyone else would find where they needed to go. Once inside she let the door close before kicking off her shoes one by one and then undoing her dress and letting it drop to the floor leaving her in the lingerie he had gotten a preview of earlier and crawling into bed and dropping her body down onto the large oversized bed
Of course once he was halfway undressed himself, Alex caught a glimpse of Sophie stripping off her dress and he almost pouted. "I don't get to take the dress off?" he asked, genuinely concerned as she crawled into bed. He kicked off his shoes and took the pants off, really just discarding them somewhere without thinking and then making his way to the bed. "Oh, we so should've brought one last drink," he chuckled as he climbed onto the bed and just sat there for a moment. "Should I get us shots?" he asked, beaming about his idea.
When he said he didn’t get to take the dress off she chuckled, “you can take something else off another day to make up for it.” She promised him, plus she was sure when they had the bigger showier wedding he would take that dress off. When he suggested that they get shots she laughed. “You want to do shots right now? In bed?” She asked. “I hope in bed I don’t think doing shots with me dressed like this downstairs would be a good idea around everyone.”
"But that's not the same," he almost pouted at her and shook his head a little bit. Climbing into bed, he moved over to be close to her and nodded quickly. "Yes, shots in bed," he grinned like this was the best idea he could've had. His look only darkened a little bit at the mere idea of her downstairs looking like she currently did. "No, you stay here, I get shots." And with that, he was off the bed and out the room, not bothering to put any of his clothes back on, not like the boys hadn't seen him in underwear, or even less anyway. He almost stumbled down the stairs, cursed as he hit the counter a bit, but then was returning not with two shot glasses, but rather the bottle of alcohol that didn't have a whole lot left inside anyway. He slipped back into their bedroom and closed the door behind him. "You better not have fallen asleep," he chuckled.
“I’ll make it worth your while.” She promised him and she would make it up to him. Even if it might not be the same to him. When his eyes darkened, she giggled but she didn’t push her luck as she got comfortable in bed while he stumbled out of the bed. It took him a little while to come back before bringing the alcohol bottle that was more than half gone. “Mmm fall asleep without my husband our first married night never.” She hummed propping her head up. “I promised shots with you.”
It took him a moment to find the alcohol downstairs and bring it back to the bedroom where Sophie thankfully was still away as he climbed back into bed so he could cross legged beside her. "I didn't bring glasses so you're gonna have to be okay with sharing the bottle with me," he warned, like they didn't actually confirm they were willing to share the rest of their lives together just earlier that day. He held the bottle out, so she could take it and take a sip of it.
He crawled back into bed and she smiled up at him. “I noticed no shot glasses and here I thought we were gonna be doing body shots off of each other.” She giggled as she reached out to take the bottle and took a sip of it. after all sharing wasn’t that big of a deal, they swapped far more than saliva earlier.
Alex was just getting settled in bed when Sophie said she was considering body shots and his eyes widened a bit before the grin on his lips widened. "Oh!" he said and shifted so he could take the bottle back. "We should do that. Much more fun than just drinking from the bottle," he chuckled before actually taking a sip. They ended up making a bit of a mess on the bed and fell asleep tangled up in stripped sheets. When Alex woke the next morning, his head was pounding, the bottle he had brought for the two of them was fully emptied out and for a moment he wished they would have more time to sleep. But there was only enough time to drink some water, take some pain meds and shower before they had to grab their things and head off to the airport. Jack, Zack and Annie were staying in the house so the dogs were taken care off, the kids were going back and forth between their parents and Alex was glad they had their own luggage ready and didn't have to pack in the morning. He managed to sleep a little bit on the flight, but he was still feeling tired when they finally got to their hotel room in the winter resort in France. They had grabbed snacks on the way and there were plans for a fancy dinner in the hotel’s restaurant, but not much else planned for the day thankfully. After dropping their bags, Alex moved to let himself fall onto the bed and let out a long sigh. "Oh, this is soooo comfortable."
By the end of the night, or well, by the time they were falling asleep, the bed was a mess, they were a mess, and completely passing out tangled in each other and the sheets. The next morning when Alex woke and in turn woke her, she groaned, “Shut uppppp.” she whined pulling the pillow over her head. Of course she really couldn’t go back to bed they had such an early flight, why did they drink as long as they did? They barely got a few hours of sleep as she turned over taking out four Tylenol and popping them in her mouth with water. “Oh god.” she groaned and not in a sexy way. Once they were on the flight, she fell asleep on the plane even before it had taken off. The place they were staying was private and secluded just for them. It had a beautiful indoor pool, a grand bedroom suite, a whole open floor plan, it was absolutely stunning. After Alex made plans at the main lodging hotel for dinner they were both hitting the bed. “Mmm very comfy.” she nodded half curling up. “I’ll see you in a few days.” she teased closing her eyes.
Alex felt the bed shift when Sophie curled up beside him and he turned his head to glance over and chuckle softly. "Not leaving the bed while we're here?" he questioned, then rolled onto his side so he could reach over to poke her side with a grin on his lips. "We're gonna have to leave the bed eventually for dinner," he told her, then shifted so he was more on his stomach and rested his head on his arms. "Whose idea was it to take body shots?" he asked with a chuckle. "We had so much to drink."
“Mmm with how I’m feeling I could never leave the bed.” she admitted, still a decent bit hung over, very tired, and just still with the bliss of being newly married. Not even a full 24 hours had they been married. When he poked her side she groaned, “Don’t be mean you got me drunk.” she teased. “Mmm I don’t remember.” Even though she was the one to bring it up. “We had to put that lingerie to good use it was expensive.” she tutted softly.
"I got you drunk? I think you brought that upon yourself," Alex said with a grin, but then shifted and didn't poke her any further. "Oh you can wear that again some time, make sure it’s money well spent," he said and lifted his head a bit to smirk at her. His head was pounding a little still and he knew best they could do was rest. "Actually, this bed is so comfortable, I think we should nap before dinner later." Part of him was curious to explore the whole place they had right there, and their outside surroundings too, but his body really needed the rest.
“Mmm nope you got me drunk.” she nodded as if it was totally on him. “I may have packed it, I may have packed other lingerie.” she admitted. “But it all depends on how this weekend goes if you get to see any of it.” Teasing him. “You want to nap? Since when do you suggest the nap first.” chuckling softly. “I can’t wait to get into that heated pool.” she groaned out.
"I'm not saying on this trip, just.. In general," Alex chuckled softly. "We don't have to nap, but this bed is comfy, and we're both hungover," he said with a shrug. "Figured we could nap before dinner but we can go exploring if you'd rather."
“No I’m good with taking a nap.” she said because she was already in the bed and when in Rome… or in this case, when in the Parisian mountain tops. “We can explore after, all I really care about exploring is the inside pool we have in this giant villa. But that can wait.” she murmured tucking herself into the side and pulling a pillow in closer.
"Are you sure that can wait?" Alex questioned amusedly as he shifted closer and wrapped his arm around her. He tugged her in a bit. "You've already mentioned the pool twice. We can go explore that now if you're so excited for it," he teased slightly, humming softly as he nuzzled into her slightly, eyes closed but not yet giving into sleep in case she wanted to be up. It was their first full day being married after all, and he wanted to be doing whatever she liked.
“Yes I can wait.” She murmured, it wasn’t like they didn’t have time. “Don’t worry it’s not going to go anywhere, it’s all ours the whole time.” She knew they’d get plenty of time to enjoy it and relax in between. Snuggling into him she closed her eyes and sighed out and let her body relax.
Alex smiled when he felt her snuggling into him, and a soft breath left his lips as he allowed himself to start dozing off. It was a peaceful sleep, relaxing and definitely helping with the soft, pounding headache. When Alex woke up, he felt a little disoriented for a moment, lifting his head and glancing around until he realized where they were and what they were doing. He looked at Sophie curled up with him and smiled, resting his head back down and pressing a kiss to the back of her shoulder, unsure of whether she was fast asleep still or starting to wake up too.
When she woke, she knew they could go out and explore so she changed into her bathing suit in case they managed to go to their private indoor pool afterwards. Changing into a pair of warm pants and top she grabbed her jacket and tossed it on the bed before she walked over and reached over pressing her lips to Alex’s lips softly for a moment. “Come on baby, we should get up and explore.”
Alex dozed a little longer so when Sophie woke and got up, he was still lounging in bed and just stirred when her jacket landed on the bed next to him. He lifted his head and yawned as he looked at her. "Mmh, but the bed is so comfy," he mumbled with a grin spreading on his lips as he kissed back softly and reached his arm around her to tug her in so she'd fall forward onto him. She was already dressed in warm clothes to brace the cold so he let go of her and scrambled out of bed to get changed himself. "Alright, let's go explore. Just let's try not to get lost and be back in time for dinner," Alex teased. He pulled his beanie on and grabbed his jacket so he was ready to head out.
“The bed is very comfy.” She teased “and we get to use it the next few days to use the bed in a lot of different ways.” She grinned chuckling softly. When he pulled her towards her she laughed. “Come on lazy, time to get up we’re in the gorgeous French mountains.” She pointed out. Pulling her jacket she slipped it on zipping it up. “And if we get back we can use our private pool I have my bathing suit on under this to enjoy.”
Alex arched a brow when he pulled on his jacket and she let him know about the bathing suit she was wearing. "And you're telling me that after I'm already fully dressed?" He asked with a chuckle, but he wasn't going to get changed now. He grabbed the room keys and ushered Sophie outside and once the door was closed, he took her hand and led her to where he figured they'd get outside. They took a relatively long walk outside, exploring the area they were going to be staying the next couple days and they actually stopped to get hot chocolate before heading back inside. "Think we still have enough time to check out the pool?" he asked Sophie as they walked along the long corridor leading back to where their room was.
“Snooze you lose.” Meaning he had been asleep while she had been putting on the bathing suit that he could have seen. A laugh left her lips and a grin tugging to it. Not like they didn’t have plenty of time. After a long walk outside and grabbing a hot chocolate as they made their way back towards their private mansion of a cabin. “Babe it’s our pool we have all the time in the world.” she grinned as she took his hand and raised it up spinning under it like she was dancing. “So I think we can more than slip in to see it.”
As they walked back to their cabin, Alex let her lift his hand to spin under it and laughed softy. He decided to go with it, twirling her again before moving around her himself and pulling her to him as if they were actually dancing. "I meant before dinner," he clarified with a grin while she was flush against him and then he loosened his grip again to lead her the rest of the way to where they were staying. "You forgot to tell me about your plan to hop in the pool anyway, so I'm not wearing any swimwear." Not that he really thought that was a problem. He could always just wear his underwear, or decide skinny dipping was the way to go.
When he twirled her again, she giggled the sound of her heavy jacket swishing against his own as she brushed against him. “Well, you should be prepared at all times we have a private indoor pool, you should be ready at any time to go hop in.” she teased as they made their way into the room, immediately feeling the thickness from the chlorine and heat as she peeled off her jacket and clothes underneath to the tiny bathing suit she was wearing. “Look at that view.” she said of the full open windows at the one side of the wall that showed out in the distance.
"How was I supposed to know that?" Alex chuckled as they headed into the room that held the spacious indoor pool they would have privately just for themselves. He stripped off his jacket but Sophie was quicker and was already down to her tiny piece of a bathing suit when he had just managed to pull off his shirt. A grin curled onto his lips and instead of taking in the view through the window, his eyes fell on her and he took her in briefly. "It's a great view," he smirked before continuing to strip his clothes off to his underwear. "That's a huge window. Are people gonna be walking by that? That wouldn't be very private then, would it?" He questioned, just then really taking in the view the big windows offered.
“Well I just figured that you would think if we can have a whole pool to ourselves.” she teased. When she glanced over her shoulder at enjoying the view she saw him looking just at her and rolled her eyes. “Stop looking at my ass.” she teased, though she didn’t really mind she was wearing the revealing bathing suit after all. “No one can see us from what I can tell it’s shaded on the other side like those mirrors that are one way, only with windows, we can look out, they can’t look in.” which was nice if they wanted to skinny dip or anything like that.
"You ushered me to get dressed when I was literally just waking up. Can't expect me to think that far ahead just then, alright?" He playfully rolled his eyes. When she said the windows were shaded on the other side, he shrugged his shoulders and stripped down fully. "Good, because you didn't tell me to bring swimwear right now," he teased again as he headed for the water to get into the pool with her, a grin spread on his lips as he sank into the water and glanced around. "Oh, this is nice. Reminds me how great it's gonna be to jump in the pool in the summer." Thinking back at all the times spent in their own pool were great memories and Alex smiled softly at that.
A laugh left her lips, “Since when has me being bossy ever stopped you?” she teased but she knew she had rushed him along. “Gonna have to get used to it, I’m your wife now.” she grinned as he stripped out of all of his clothes, including his boxer briefs and waded into the water. She herself gave a roll of her eyes before heading in, she wasn’t sure why she was wearing the bathing suit given this white one became see through anyway when it got wet. “Well you’re keeping us pretty busy this summer babe, I mean I can stay home and enjoy our pool.” she grinned as she sank into the water and came up, the bathing suit now fully see through leaving nothing to the imagination. “It’s beautiful in here isn’t it? So relaxing, and just for us.”
"Never stopped me, but thinking's just not that easy when you just woke up." Once he was in the water, Alex moved further in the pool before turning around to find Sophie emerging from the water again and a grin spread on his lips once again as he took her in. "Very beautiful," he hummed, eyes still on her before he laughed and swam over to her. "I have no idea why you even bothered to put the bathing suit on," he said as he reached her. "I mean, it looks great on you but it also doesn't really do a very good job at.. doing its job." Not that he really minded. Though part of him figured he'd have to walk around the place sometime soon to make sure she was actually telling the truth about these windows.
When he said very beautiful looking at her, she giggled again. “Are you flirting with me?” she teased as he swam over to her. “I know but I figured white for you know married. Though I can always take it off if you prefer given you already stripped down to nothing.” she teased. “You know I know we talk about this from time to time, but this is kind of how we all started, a bit of water and no clothes.” she chuckled. “We were supposed to just be having fun and ends up having very hot sex…” she murmured. “And impregnating me.” Before laughing.
"That depends," Alex said as he moved towards her, "is it working?" He let himself float in the water, gently moving so he'd shift around her and shrugging his shoulders. "Me stripping down to nothing is totally on you. Had you wanted me to wear swimming trunks, you would've taken the time to tell me we may be going here after exploring. Now this is what you got." He was sure she didn't really mind though anyway. "I know. I vaguely remember," he teased, because of course he knew very well. "Think you lured me into a pond to have your way with me." He floated a little closer towards her, legs brushing hers under water before he leaned in to peck her lips. "And now here we are… four years later and you're stuck with me forever, officially and all."
“Mmm it might be working, you should keep flirting though.” she said because she knew that just because they were married didn’t mean they shouldn’t flirt with each other and find that magical feeling in between. “Well it’s not my fault you didn’t come prepared and didn’t think about it. I mentioned the pool earlier in the day prior to the nap.” she nodded. “Oh I /lured/ you? I seem to remember you getting into the water all too willingly and then helping me wrap my body around you until I was telling you it was okay to not be a gentleman when I could already feel how hard you were between my legs.” she quipped. Her lips pecked his. “Four years, three kids, and finally got the ring.” she teased with a giggle. “And I got to spend this last summer not pregnant.”
"Yes, you lured me," Alex laughed. "You were playing tour guide, said you knew the best hiking trail," he reminded her, a grin on his lips still had the detailed memories flooding back and he shook his head. After pecking her lips, his arms moved around her, tugging her in a little bit and he let out a soft, content sigh. "I'm very happy with the way things turned out," he told her softly, and honestly before so easily switching back to a more teasing tone, "but if we were to recreate that core memory, which.. is gonna be hard because we do not have a stone or anything like that to lean up against.. - I am not gonna get you pregnant again this time," he teased. "We're planning on going on a summer honeymoon later this year and I'm kind of looking forward to be a little tipsy with you."
“Definitely did no such luring you joined in all too willingly in fact.” she said, “I said I knew where a gorgeous pond was and you were down to see it. You didn’t have to get in naked if you didn’t want to.” she said. “Especially with a woman you barely even knew.” she pointed you. “You’re lucky you were so good at making me scream or it could have been far worse. Could have been an Instagram post of disappointing water sex.” before laughing and shaking her head. “I’m very happy with the way things turned out too, I know I’m meant to be with you.” There was no doubt in her mind. “There’s the wall of the pool that would have to work.” she pointed out. “and no, not getting me pregnant this time, for now.” she teased. “I want the summer wedding without having a huge bump and a very tipsy honeymoon together.”
"Well, I know you very well now. And I still really enjoy making you scream," Alex said as he pulled her in against him a little bit. He felt the fabric of her bathing suit against his bare skin and for a moment, he wondered how quick he'd be able to get it off. He shook that thought, for now at least, and leaned in for another peck to her lips. When he pulled back, he briefly turned his head to see where the nearest wall of the pool was before looking at her again, starting to float them towards the wall slowly.
“I think that’s a good thing given we just got married.” she giggled, “Though I am glad you haven’t gotten bored with being inside of me.” A lot of people sometimes got bored with the feeling of their partner and it had been a worry for her in the past but one he had always proven was so far from happening. His body started moving them gently through the pool before she felt her back hit the wall, very similar to the time in the pond, maybe a little less angled given she could lay back some but it would definitely do the job.
"You've got my official permission to smack me if I ever end up getting bored of being inside of you," he said as he started to move them through the pool slowly. He backed Sophie up against the wall and of course it was different than their first time together almost four years ago, so much had happened since then and truth was they were so much closer now than they were back then. Had Alex though they'd end up here? No, but he'd also never been sure of wanting to get married again and now this just seemed like the only way he wanted things to be. Once Sophie was against the pool wall, he leaned in to kiss her, not just a soft peck this time, but rather letting it linger.
“If you get bored of being inside of me there’ll be more than a smack… there’ll be a lot worse things.” Which she really didn’t want to think about because those worse things were like them no longer being together. He pressed her gently into the wall and she shifted to bring her legs around his waist like she had in the water all those years ago. It was crazy to think that was four years ago. His lips pressed hers and her wet hand came up to cup the side of his face and moved her lips with his.
"Well, that's not gonna happen," he said with a chuckle before pressing her gently into the wall and leaning in to kiss her. He felt her legs wrapping around his waist, her hand coming up to his face and he hummed into the kiss. He used one hand to hold onto the edge of the pool, keeping them close to the wall, while the other hand slid down her side, brushing over the hem of her bathing suit and then moved to her thigh, gripping her leg slightly as he deepened the kiss.
“It better not.” Not that she expected it, he wasn’t bored after four years, maybe he really would enjoy their love life the rest of their lives together. His hand moved to slide down her thin frame brushing over the bathing suit before pushing her thigh slightly to grip at her leg, feeling his tongue against her lips and parting it all too willingly and allowing his tongue entrance into her mouth and groaning at the taste of him.
Alex loved everything about Sophie and he really didn't see that changing any time soon, or ever. Especially not the physical side of things. Of course things had changed, they learned to read each other far better, tried new things, learned what they liked with each other, but the general feeling of wanting her never changed. The deeper their kiss grew, the more Alex felt like his head was spinning and he enjoyed that she had this effect on him. He only broke away from their kiss a bit to breath and between those little breaks, he murmured, "I think we're way past me thinking I have to be a gentleman right now." He chuckled softly before pressing his hips into hers a little bit, sure she could feel him and how this, making out, having her pressed up against him, was turning him on.
One thing she loved about Alex was that he was always so willing to meet her halfway. To explore things she had been interested in, not afraid to test boundaries that she would have been embarrassed by in the past. Sometimes she had those moments still, but he could read her so well. When the kiss broke, she felt dizzy in the best way, floating on air and happy. “Mmm I’d be so disappointed if you were a gentleman right now.” Sophie husked as he pressed his hips against hers to feel his hard length. “I don’t want you to be a gentleman. We all know I love when we make love, but I love it when you are anything but gentle.” A soft almost growl to her voice.
The low growl in Sophie's voice made him glad they were in the water because he would've feared to have his knees go a little week if this was them pinned against a wall, no water surrounding them. Alex moved his hand up her thigh, around her butt and then to the hem of her bathing suit between her legs. He knew he'd get several chances to undress her on this vacation and right now his goal was to be inside of her, not struggling to get the tiny piece of fabric off in the water. He moved it aside, revealing her bare core and so when he rolled his hips again, his hard length rubbed against her, skin on skin and so eager to be buried inside of her. "I can never get enough of you," Alex husked. He rolled his hips only a few more times to tease before letting the tip of his cock slide into her.
Licking her lips she felt him press her into the wall a tiny bit more, and she wasn’t sure if that was for her or more him. He didn’t seem to be wasting time when he shifted them and slid his hand down between them and pushing the bathing suit over to the side. The feeling of him rubbing against her with the moving of the water as she felt his hard length slide against her made her head fall back against the edge of the pool. “Mm good because I can’t get enough of you. And you can have as much of me for the next few days.” she murmured. “But wait till we have a longer honeymoon.” she teased before feeling his hips rock against her sliding in the tiniest bit. “Fuck, Al.”
"Mh, I think I want you for more than just the next few days," he teased, though of course he knew what she meant. They'd get all the time for just the two of them to just be together, enjoy each other and make the best of this time. He slid in the tip at first, trying to tease as he pulled back again and repeated that, but he only managed to do that a few times before he really felt like he couldn't wait to be buried inside of her, feel her around his length and so he rocked his hips again and this time, shifted enough to bury himself fully inside of her.
“Lucky for you I’m now your wife which means there will be more than a few days.” she giggled, because it was true they’d have their whole time together to enjoy. “But this is free uninterrupted time, not worries about toddlers walking in and interrupting sexy time.” she pointed out. He was teasing her, the way he pressed the tip of his cock into her and pulled out not quite giving her the satisfaction of being able to fully feel him. Thankfully he, himself, wasn’t able to hold back much either before he filled her burying himself deep inside and she cried out in pleasure his name.
"So lucky," Alex chuckled softly. He tried to tease her, he really did but then his own ache for her got the best of him. He loved the way she sounded when she cried out his name and his own head fell forward to place a few almost sloppy kisses against her neck and collar bone. "Oh, I love being inside of you," he muttered. "You feel so fucking good." He really only adjusted for a moment before he started thrusting his hips, feeling the way she so easily took him in.
“You’re a very lucky man.” she said grinning against his mouth. Even if she knew she was just as jealous. His mouth peppered open mouthed sloppy kisses against her neck. “And I love you being inside of me.” she breathed out, her hands come up and tugging through his hair making it wet as she gripped onto the wet strands. “Fuck yes.” she breathed as he thrust his hips. “Oh god, yes.” she breathed a hitch in her voice following.
He felt her hand gripping into his hair, her breathing hitched a little and he groaned against her skin before lifting his head to take her in, or as much of her as he could see. "Fuck, baby," he cursed under his breath as he continued to thrust his hips, the water splashing around them a little bit. He brought both hands down into the water, to Sophie's hips, gripping slightly.
There was always something about Alex being vocal when she grabbed at his hair. Given he didn’t like his hair being touched much. To have someone that was so into her that way. The water splashed around them and she could feel it move against her causing a friction as he pushed his hips into her again and again. “Fuck, Al.” she breathed out, her head moving to lean against his, their heavy breathing tangling against their faces. “God how is it I feel like I haven’t had you in forever and I just had you yesterday.”
"I don't know," he breathed as their heads leaned together. His one hand kept trying to hold onto the edge of the pool while his free hand grasped at her hip, sliding up her side, moving between their chest to find her breasts. As he leaned in to kiss her, his movements slowed a little, settling for a slower pace, but making sure to bury his length deep inside of her every time his hips thrust into her. He moaned into their kiss, deepening that and letting his tongue explore and taste her.
“Maybe I’m addicted to you.” she teased in heavy breaths. His hand continued to grip the side of the pool to keep them steady, feeling his other hand move from her hip to explore her body, finding her breasts. “Oh… oh.” she breathed out the feeling of him teasing them underwater a new experience as his mouth covered hers and his tongue tangled in her mouth and she groaned loudly.
The slower pace made it easier to hold them steady against the wall and Alex was happy to have Sophie's legs wrapped around him so that he could use his other hand to explore and not have to hold onto her. They were close together but there was enough room for his hand to find her breasts and he teased at them for a moment. His lips found hers in a heavy kiss and their groans mixed together as they were so tangled up. Alex let his fingers push at the hem of the bathing suit top, brushing the fabric away so his hand could tease at the bare breast, thumb twirling over her nipple.
It was a bit easier with them slowed down some. There was a bit more of a way to balance themselves, her legs still tight around him. Her tongue tangled with his before breaking the kiss to gasp for breath, her head feeling dizzy and tingly as she giggled out. His fingers pushed away the bathing suit exposing her breast before letting his thumb twirl over the hardened wet nipple. “Oh fuck yes.” she gasped out her arching some to press her breast more into his hand. “Harder.” she breathed, meaning his hand against her nipple.
Alex let out a soft laugh when Sophie giggled and he licked his lips that felt slightly swollen from kissing. He briefly considered taking the bathing suit off, but moving it aside was quicker and easier to get to touch and tease at her bare breast and so he opted for that. He let his hand squeeze lightly when she asked him to go harder and then his fingers found her nipple to tug and tease at it instead of just twirling his thumb over.
Her head fell back against the edge of the pool, feeling his hands continue to move against her breast. Then there was the feeling of him moving from brushing and twirling his thumb against her nipple to grasping it and tugging. “Al!” she cried out. “Oh god yes.” her eyes rolling back after having kids it was always one of her more sensitive areas and he had become well acquainted with that. “You feel so good baby.” she breathed her hand coming wetting his hair back and tugging at it. “Is it wrong I want you to take me out of the pool and take me on my hands and knees in front of the windows.” she breathed into the shell of his ear.
Alex let out an almost whined moan when she tugged hard on his hair again and he whimpered at the feeling. As protective as he was of his hair, he loved everything about the way she gripped at it. "Absolutely nothing wrong with that," he smirked, leaning in for an almost sloppy kiss before pressing his head against hers lightly and groaning softly. "I'm not fucking you in front of the window though before I went out there to make sure it's actually not just regularly see-through," he husked back, his lips finding a spot just below her ear to pepper a kiss there. He didn't pick up the pace, but his next few thrusts came a little harder and he breathed heavily at the feeling. "Once I did check the window," he then said in a husked, breathy way, "I fully intend to press you up against it to fuck you though," he smirked, nibbling on the spot on her neck slightly.
She knew if there was one thing Alex was, it was protective. He didn’t like the chance of people seeing her underwear when she wore skimpy dresses, there was no way he was going to risk chancing someone seeing them in their most intimate moments, let alone seeing Sophie naked and wet panting and crying in pleasure. He groaned after saying nothing wrong with it, which made her happy because she always worried about pushing it that one step too far, which she was especially trying to shake now that they were married. “Mm where’s your sense of adventure, no one can see us and no one is even out there to see us if they could.” A giggle leaving her lips, because she was more so teasing him. The next few thrusts were harder as if to make a point and she whined out her head falling back again. “Mm I believe leaving a steamy figure of me against the window will give away I’m getting fucked.” she teased. “But I’ll let you do it so long as you take me from behind in front of it first.” Almost making a deal with him. “Mmm I want you to let go baby, relax with me.”
"How about," he started, taking a breath between words as he thrust into her again, "I take you from behind /while/ pressing you against the window?" He was sure she could feel the smirk on his lips against her skin. "Just think about the view you'll have." His lips trailed up her neck and to her lips again, focusing on a heavy, passionate kiss for a moment before breaking away again. "We should have you turn around right now, so you'll have a general idea of what I'm talking about," he husked, his fingers tugging on her nipple again to tease a little more.
He thrust up into her and she cried out her name. “Taking me from behind while against the window?” she husked, “Mm is that view for me or for you?” she teased before head rolling back again as he thrust up. His fingers tugged at her nipple and she gasped out. “Yes please, god turn me around and show me.”
"Maybe it's just for the both of us," Alex said and really he wasn't just talking about the view. He was sure they could both enjoy that with or without the view. His hand dropped from her breast when she gasped and asked for him to turn her around. He let out a groan as he pulled back from her enough to slip out of her, his hands finding her waist to guide her to turn around, figuring she could grasp the edge of the pool to hold them steady as he pulled her hips back a bit into his own, his cock sliding between her lips before he adjusted to thrust back into her. The angle was so familiar, yet so different being underwater right now and Alex moaned as he buried himself inside of her again.
“For the both of us.” she breathed because right now she couldn’t fully concentrate. When he slipped out of her she whined at the loss of him, her body moving easily in the water, and grasping the edge. Her legs pressed against the wall to push her hips back as his cock slid into her with ease of the water, the feeling in water different. “Oh god yes.” she breathed as he filled her completely, fingers gripping the side of the pool unable to stop herself from grinding her hips back onto him obvious she was lost in the pleasure.
The moment they were reconnected, Alex felt her hips grinding back into him and he groaned at the feeling. His fingers pressing into her hips as he started thrusting his hips, settling for a pace and hard thrusts. The water splashed a little more around them again and it just added to the feeling. "So fucking good," he muttered, tugging her hips back into his own with each thrusts while she held onto the side of the pool, grasping at the edge. "Fuck, baby."
Her hips moved as best as they could in the water while also feeling like her body was overwhelmed with the pleasure of him buried inside of her. The water splashed up onto the side of the pool her hips pushing back to meet his as she pressed harder into him. “Alex;.” she gasped. “Alex I need to come.” she panted her body starting to shake hard against the wall knowing that she could easily tip over the edge.
It was a different kind of moving in the water than it would have been outside of it. But the splashing water added to the sensation and Alex felt that familiar feeling building up. When Sophie panted, he let out a moan and pressed her into the wall a little more, lips finding her ear and gracing his teeth over her earlobe. "Then let go, baby," he husked out into her ear, moaning softly because he knew she appreciated him being a little more vocal.
When he moaned into her ear she felt her eyes roll back and her body slip some into the water as she felt the rush of heat build and tumble over until she hit the much needed release of her orgasm, crying out again and again loudly, not worried about anyone hearing them and the moment they were having together as her body bucked slightly as she came hard around his cock, holding him incredibly tight between her walls.
Alex gritted his teeth trying to hold back as she came around his cock. Her walls were so tight he had to slow down his movements momentarily. "Yes, baby," he husked. "I love when you're screaming like this." And he definitely loved getting to be the reason for her crying out in pleasure the way she did. When he picked up the pace again, he started thrusting his hips quicker. Feeling his own release building up, he was panting softly, breathing hard as he let his hands hold onto her hips tightly while pushing her up against the side of the pool as best as he could.
Her walls were tight from the pressure of the water and him buried inside of her. The way he continued to move his hips pulling his cock in and out of her. Her body pressed up more against the wall, “Oh god my clit.” she panted the way he had her pushed up against the side it was making the wall press against the sensitive bundle of nerves her hips starting to grind against the wall with him moving in and out. “Yes, yes, yes, don’t stop.” she cried out as her hips pushed up into the textured pool wall and her head fell back to his shoulder.
"Soph," Alex breathed out as she started to grind her hips, pushing up against the wall and her head fell back against his shoulder. "I'm so fucking close baby, fuck... yes." He husked out, almost grunting at the feeling before he felt like he couldn't take it anymore. He thrust into her a little harder a few times before he reached his high and released deep inside of her, knowing this was so much less of a mess since they were already in the water.
The feeling was intense, the way her hips moved against the wall, her clit being stimulated without either of them as he pushed in and out of her hard. He thrusted harder a few times pushing her harder into the wall and she tipped back again her walls tightening as she found her second orgasm crying out as she felt him spill inside of her warm and wet. “Fuck. Holy fuck.” she panted. “You literally just made me cum against a wall.” she breathed. “God is that weird, please say it wasn’t weird you kept pushing me into it and it felt so good right there.” Taking his hand to her clit that she was sure he could feel was swollen. “Mmm we should get more creative that was hot.” she said letting her body sink into his. “Don’t pull out of me yet.”
Alex was breathing heavily as Sophie fell back against him a little more and found his hand to bring it down between her legs. "And here I thought it was just me fucking you," he teased, voice sounding a little breathy still as he laughed softly and pressed a kiss to the back of her shoulder. "Nothing to get you to get off like that is weird," he reassured her, licking his lips as he brushed his fingers against her clit a little bit. "Oh, I like getting creative with you."
“Mm you were the only one fucking me babe.” she laughed her words soft and sated. His lips pressed a soft kiss to her shoulder. “You just love seeing and hearing me get off.” she murmured with a soft giggle that followed as she leaned back into him. His fingers brushed her clit to stroke and she mewled. “Yeah? We have so much time to get creative.” She bucked her hips slightly at the feeling of his fingers still gently just caressing through her lips and clit. “We could add some things to play with.” she offered.
He was still buried inside of her and he loved the feeling, gasping softly any time she moved a little bit. He opted for slow, gentle movements against her clit and through her lips, curious to see how good he could make her feel again. "Are you suggesting we bring toys into the bedroom?" Alex questioned, a smirk spreading on his lips.
A soft hum left her lips when he moved gently his fingers against her. She had no doubt that he was tempting to see what he could make happen with the feeling of his fingers and water against her clit. Swallowing a tiny bit, “I mean… maybe.. not because we’re lacking anything.” she said quickly not wanting him to think that they were lacking or it wasn’t pleasurable.
Alex kept moving his fingers gently, but he got more serious the moment he noticed the slight insecurity in Sophie's tone. "I'm just teasing with that question," he said quickly and shook his head slightly. "I think it could be fun. Definitely helps with being creative too." He wasn't opposed to the idea, it could end up being a lot of fun and he made a mental note to look into what they could be getting. "Think maybe we should do a little online shopping later," he said with a smirk, pressing another kiss to the back of her shoulder. "See what we could be getting," he suggested, trying to make sure she realized he was perfectly fine with giving that a try.
Her body leaned back against his as his fingers continued to move gently against her making her moan softly. “It would definitely be more for creativity and not an all-time thing.” she said because she didn’t think it was needed all the time. “That sounds fun, exploring online together see what we both might like or what’s a hard no for one or both of us.” she said. “Would be far easier for us to order them, us going into a sex shop would end up all over online.” Something neither of them needed.
They were just floating in the water now, no more pressing up against the side of the pool, just Sophie's body resting back against his as he was still snuck inside of her, his fingers between her legs. "I think we should do that. It'll give us ideas," he smirked. His fingers started moving a little more, rubbing against her clit. "I mean, would be fun to go with you, but we really don't need that," he laughed softly.
They floated through the water, his fingers still teasing against the sensitive nub but letting their bodies also relax in the water. “I like that finding ideas to try.” Before a soft mewl came from her lips as she whined out him rubbing a little more against her clit. “Mm we don’t need the articles of us being at a sex shop, I just want to try some new things with you in bed.” she giggled before gasping. “Al.” the words falling from her lips.
"One of these days, we'll do a little shopping then," he said with a nod. A grin spread on his lips as she gasped out his name, his fingers pressing a little more against the sensitive nub and continuing to rub against her. His other hand moved up over her stomach, brushing the fabric of her bathing suit out of the way again to find her breast and teasing at her nipple once more, now almost eager to get her off again before they probably had to get out of the pool and ready for dinner eventually.
“Mm we could look online later. We’ll be far too tired to have another go tonight, I’m sure.” she teased. “Especially if you’re trying to get me off again.” Which she knew he was given the way his hand now cupped her breast and teased at her nipple, which she wasn’t complaining. “Al.” she gasped, “Right there.” she whined as his fingers stroked expertly with him still snug inside of her. “Right.. yes. Yes. Yes.” she panted her breathing coming out choppy as she found herself coming against his fingers her walls tightening around his cock still buried inside of her.
"Then it's just more ideas we're looking for tonight," he chuckled, a grin on his lips as she pointed out just what he was trying to do. Thankfully, he knew her body well enough to know how to touch and tease to get her off and he moaned out, a drawn-out sound when she came around his cock once again, walls tightening again around him. "Mmh, I love you so fucking much," he hummed as he dropped his hands finally and rather wrapped his arms around her to hold her against him. After a moment of just coming down and relaxing, he let out a content sigh. "We're all wrinkly now. And we should probably get ready for dinner."
“Well, we can order online babe, it won’t get here we’d have to take it with us while you tour which could be very fun.” she grinned at him. It didn’t take her long to find her release and hearing him say how much he loved her. A laugh left her lips, “I can tell just how much you love me.” she grinned before laughing. “We can get out, but my body is spent. Do you think they’ll bring dinner to our room?” Well at least the private building they were staying in.
They floated for a moment before Alex eventually shifted and slipped out of her. "And here I was looking forward to taking you out to dinner," he hummed, chuckling softly as they lingered a few more minutes before starting to get out. He knew if Sophie really wanted to stay in, they probably could get the food delivered, he really was leaving that decision to her though. They dried off and got dressed again before heading for the actual area they were staying in.
“Alright, alright we can go out, but you might have to carry me back afterwards.” she said as they got out of the pool and she fixed her swimsuit and pulling everything back into place. Wrapping herself in a robe they made their way back into the main area of the house and upstairs so she could start getting ready for dinner. “Do we have to get all dressy?”
Alex laughed softly and nodded. "I can give you a piggyback ride," he offered with a grin as they got dressed to head back into the main part of the cabin. He followed Sophie upstairs and headed for his bag to find something to wear. "We can just wear something comfortable. I'd just like to take you out for dinner," he told her. They didn't have to dress up big time, he just wanted to enjoy the dinner with her.
“Treating me out to dinner after getting laid.” She quipped playfully. “Look at you being so sweet.” As if he was anything but. She dressed in a simple skirt and top that wasn’t overly revealing and got herself all set before slipping on heels. Nothing overly fancy but good for a nice dinner out. “I’m ready.”
Alex playfully rolled his eyes before moving to actually get dressed himself. He tried to fix his hair so he wasn't wearing a hat while out for their dinner, but eventually he settled on leaving it a bit of a mess. "You look beautiful," he said with a smile and wrapped his arm around her waist to tug her into his side a bit. "I'm very lucky," he told her honestly and pressed a kiss to her temple before slipping his arm back around to reach for her hand instead and lead her to the door. "Let's go, I'm actually starving.
His arm wrapped around her and she blushed. “Thank you.” She pecked his lips. “Mm you are but you know I’m pretty lucky too.” Which she meant. “So long as you didn’t knock me up in the pool just now because of that happens we’re never having sex in water again we’re too lucky.” She teased taking his hand. “There better be pasta I’m thinking a good Alfredo.” She hummed. “With a side piece of steak oh and the largest goblet of wine.”
"Oh no, I don't think that's happened," he said with a shrug and then shook his head as they laced their fingers together to head out. He opened the door and lead her outside, chuckling as she went on about all the food she was going to want to have and he could already see her sitting in her seat doing that little happy dance before digging into all the things they were gonna have for dinner. "A goblet of wine," he repeated. "Sounds a bit like the goblet of fire, doesn't it? Maybe we should rewatch Harry Potter tonight."
“If it did no more sex in water. No pools, no ponds, no hot tubs, you’re far too good with aim.” She teased though she really wasn’t worried about it. She had been on this birth control since Delphine was born and no scares or anything. Giving a roll of her eyes. “Haven’t you heard of a goblet? Like a glass…” she made a gesture with her hands and rolled her eyes. “You’re being an absolute arse.” She quipped. “Oh, Harry Potter rewatch can we pick up snacks?”
"I'm too good with aim?" Alex laughed. "Think you may have been playing a role in it too." He wasn't really worried though, they had been good with the birth control Sophie was on since Delphine, it seemed to work for them. "Hey, how am I an arse? I'm just saying," he said as he led her outside and they walked off to where dinner was served. "I can't carry you and snacks back here." Of course, they could probably order several snacks to be delivered to them.
“Yeah, but you’re the one aiming your stuff so it’s really more all on you.” she teased even if she was involved. “You’re mocking me.” she said sticking her tongue out at him playfully. “Sure, you can. You carry me on your back and you carry the snacks in a bag in your hand, seems pretty simple to me!” she retorted.
Alex just laughed and tucked her into his side, lifting his arm to wrap it around her shoulder without letting go of her hand as they continued to walk. "How about we just order room service for the snacks later?" He suggested. "We don't know how hungry we will be after this meal." It wasn't a long way to get to the dining area and once they arrived, someone greeted them and lead them to where they would be seated. Alex pulled out Sophie's chair before sitting down on his own and he leaned back a bit to relax, a smile on his face as he looked at Sophie, fully expecting her to pick up the menu immediately to see if she could be getting all that she was hungry for.
Leaning into him she smiled, it was the simple things like him putting his arm around her that she really loved. “Going to dinner with my /husband/ that is kind of the coolest thing.” she giggled almost like a teenager would. Once they were brought back to a private area and Alex pulled out her chair she sat and took the menu and scanned through it. “Oh, they have everything I want.” she said. “Think I’m getting the filet mignon with a side of alfredo pasta, extra creamy.” she rambled off. “Now are we thinking red wine, white wine? Do you want wine at all?”
"It is pretty cool, isn't it?" Since he had been married before, this was something Alex had done before but this was Sophie, she was his wife now and that just meant ultimately way more than anything he'd experienced before. He realised in small moments like watching her immediately reach for the menu when they sat down for their first fancy meal as a married couple, that this was it for him. He felt so much more at home than he ever had with Lisa, and there was not a single doubt in his mind that there'd be a time where Sophie wasn't gonna be his wife. "I think red wine sounds about right, don't you think?" He picked up his own menu to find something he wanted to eat, knowing he had to pick quickly so they could order soon.
“The coolest.” she said with a smile because she really was loving it, being married to Alex. It was something she wasn’t sure back when they first started dating, she would ever get. So the fact that they were there, married, three kids, just living and loving life, was pretty damn cool. Everything with him felt safe, she didn’t feel judged immediately listing off all the things she wanted to eat or hearing anyone scoff just because she wanted steak and pasta for dinner. “Red wine sounds wonderful.” she nodded. When the waiter arrived, she ordered an expensive bottle of red wine for them in French before he was off and she turned back to him. “So.. what are you getting for dinner? Anything special?”
The waiter came over and Alex figured Sophie was already ready to order, but she settled for the wine first and he smiled. "Well, unlike you I don't know how to decide on anything," he chuckled. "Steak does sound good, but maybe I should just let you pick for me," he shrugged and leaned back in his seat a little bit while putting the menu down on the table in front of him.
“Oh no? I mean there are a lot of good choices to be fair. I just know I’m craving what I’m craving.” she chuckled. “Pick for you? That’s just a bad idea if you don’t end up liking it I’d feel bad so think you’re on your own babe, at least I ordered us wine.” she grinned. “good thing I know how to speak French huh?” as the waiter returned and poured them each a hefty glass of red wine before taking their order, her ordering in French just because she knew it and liked the sound of it sometimes.
Alex playfully rolled his eyes, but he settled for something on the menu before the waiter returned to pour them some wine and take their orders. "Are you trying to show off?" he asked with a smirk on his lips when the waiter was off again. He picked up his glass of wine and held it out so she would tap her glass against his. "Sounds hot," he grinned at her.
“Am I trying to show off?” she asked, “why would I be doing that?” she asked chuckling softly. Once the waiter left after she picked up her glass when he did clink them together. “Sounds hot huh? I can do that more often if you like.” she teased, “To being married.” she said softly before taking a sip.
"Cheers, to being married," he said with a smile and then took a long sip of the wine before setting the glass down again and leaning forward a bit. "Are you gonna flirt with me speaking French?" Alex question with a grin. "I'm not gonna mind but keep it simple so I have a mere chance of understanding what you're trying to say. Or you're gonna have to teach me a few words first."
When he leaned forward, she continued to hold her wine glass in her hands and grinned before speaking in French to him. Of course she had said something along the lines of I can do that if you’re going to enjoy it. Though she wasn’t sure he was going to understand that. “So are you saying I should stick with the basic oui?’ she chuckled. “But if you want me to flirt with you French I can definitely do that.”
Alex's eyes lingered on Sophie's lips as if that was going to help him understand what she was saying but he just shook his head amusedly. "No idea what you're saying, but keep talking," he chuckled softly, licking his lips. "I want you to flirt with me in any language you decide to speak," he said honestly because while listening to her speaking French was hot, so was the idea of them still flirting, four years into their relationship. It really kept things fresh and interesting sometimes.
When he said he had no idea what she said she laughed. But continued to speak in French to him in a low but seductive voice. “I will have to behave the rest of the night anyone overhears me that might end up being a problem.” she quipped so he could understand her. “But I can continue that later.” she offered. After all she knew flirting was healthy in their relationship married or not. To keep things fresh and exciting.
Alex hummed softly, eyes glued to her lips until she switched back to speaking English and he chuckled softly. "Fine, let's keep it PG right now," he smirked and picked up his wine to take another sip. Their food was served soon after and Alex took a moment to watch Sophie with a smile on his lips before digging into his own dish. They chatted over their dinner, and since it wasn't so late, Alex wasn't surprised when one of their phones buzzed with a video call from their parents and a crying Noah. He seemed to miss them and only cheered up a little bit, no more crying put pouting out his lower lip when he saw his parents on the screen. "I promise we'll be back soon, buddy," Alex said softly, though he knew chances were the little boy was just tired and therefore whining and crying for them. Willa, who apparently was away too, seemed to have heard their voices now and you could hear the padding of little feet on the floor before a squealed "Daddyyyyyyy" announced her arrival and the phone almost dropped to the ground when their eldest daughter tried to grab at it.
“PG for right now.” she said chuckling though she didn’t mind flirting with him in French or English to be honest. Once their food was served, she took a small forkful of the pasta and took a bite before wiggling in her seat at how delicious it taste. “So good.” she whined out because pasta was always going to be one of her greatest loves. the rest of their dinner they talked, flirted, laughed, and just enjoyed their time together drinking a bottle of wine before the phone rang and they found their little boy crying on the other end. “Oh mummy’s little boy.” she cooed. “You look so sad.” frowning at how sad he seemed but she was sure he was just overtired with everything. “We’re only gone a couple of days baby and you get to play with grandma and grandpa.” she said. Hearing the screech of their oldest daughter she rolled her eyes with a grin as she yelled for her daddy as she grabbed the phone. “such a graceful child just like her daddy.” Sophie teased holding the phone. “Hi Willa are you having fun?” she asked. “Noah keep crying he’s annoying.” she retorted. “Now that’s not very nice.”
Dinner was really nice and Alex had a great time. He got his phone when it buzzed and very clearly their kids demanded a little bit of attention which they both happily focused on. Date night or not, their kids would always come first. Noah was whimpering and crying and pouting out his lower lip while they tried to soothe him and then within seconds Willa was grabbing at the phone and Alex chuckled softly. "Hey, I'm more graceful than that," he argued, but then their daughter was complaining about her brother and Alex shook his head lightly. "Hey, don't be mean to your brother. He's tired and sad because he misses us. We miss you too, but try to be nice to him. Give him a hug," he offered. "We promise we'll be back in just a few more days."
She was really glad she had opted to go out to dinner that night instead of staying in. They deserved to go out and feel special at a fancy restaurant. Of course when their children were on the phone it was about being mommy and daddy not husband and wife which was okay with her. They loved their children so much. Chuckling when Alex was telling her to be nice to her brother. “But he’s so loud.” she sassed and Sophie burst out laughing and covered her laugh. “It’s okay grandma will put him to bed soon and you can get some snuggles but bed soon okay?” she said blowing her a kiss and Willa did the same. “Night baby girl. Night my little boy.” she said waving.
"I'm sure if you try giving him a hug he'll stop crying," Alex offered to their daughter who started to seem a little intrigued by that. You could see her glance at Noah, who, when she turned the camera to move towards him, was still crying. He looked tired though, so it was clearly being overwhelmed from fighting sleep and tiredness getting the best of him so when Willa actually gave him what looked like a hug, he buried his face in her chest and rubbed the tears away against her shirt and while it was a messy moment in a way, it was also adorably cute. "There you go, princess," Alex said with a smile before they said their goodbyes and Sophie's parents swooped up the phone to wish them a good night and then call ended and Alex chuckled amusedly as he picked up his glass of wine to finish the rest of it. "I don't think Willa has any idea how loud she can be."
When Alex convinced their oldest to hug Noah it was adorable. She knew that the little girl wasn’t the best with emotions she was still learning at only almost 4 years old. She was excited and trying to always go, go, go. “Look you are helping him calm down you’re such a big girl.” she said because she really was. they said their goodnights and wished her parents a good night as well, as well as luck hoping that he’d calm down once he got some sleep and could fall asleep. Once the call was ended she picked up her glass too, “Do you expect anything less from Willa.” she laughed. “You realize she is so much like you. I don’t mean that as a bad thing either but she really is.”
A grin spread on Alex's lips as he finished his glass of wine and then shrugged his shoulders. "Except when she does her little food dance. She totally got that from you," he told her, given he had just witnessed that exactly when Sophie started eating her dinner this evening. Alex glanced at his empty glass and the almost empty one in Sophie's hand and nodded his head towards it. "You want some more wine?" They were done with their food and Alex was currently trying to decide whether there was room to have dessert, or they should just settle for snacks ordered to the room.
“I didn’t teach her that.” she retorted, “I mean that’s like the one thing she got from me her love of food.” Chuckling softly because she knew the little girl did it but Sophie often didn’t even realize she was doing it. It was just a habit at this point if she really was enjoying something. “I would love some.” she said gesturing towards the bottle. “We have the whole bottle to ourselves we should enjoy it.” Especially given it was expensive. “Then we can decide on dessert or waiting for room service and watching harry potter back at our tucked away private cabin.”
"Oh and where do you think she learned it from?" He asked with a grin. Picking up the bottle, he refilled their glasses until the bottle was done for and nodded slowly. "I was thinking about dessert. Maybe we can get something to share? Feel like it would be a waste to have a dinner this good and not settle for dessert," Alex thought out loud.
“I mean I didn’t purposely teach her, she either naturally does it and it just comes from me. Or she watched me and learned it that way.” she definitely hadn’t taught it to her because she didn’t realize when she was doing it half the time. “I think I could be happy with that’s sharing a dessert together and then when we settle in back we can order some snacks from room service if we’re gonna do some Harry Potter snuggling.”
"It's really cute the way you do it," Alex smiled. He loved seeing her so genuinely happy and excited about something, especially when it was obviously such an honest reaction, one she barely even noticed herself. They motion for the waiter to bring them a menu so they could pick a dessert to share and Alex read through their option. "Should've brought the glasses," he murmured as he squinted just a little bit to read the menu. He didn't wear them as much as he probably should, often he settled for contacts, sometimes he really just opted to be a little bit blind. "Harry Potter snuggling?" A chuckle left his lips as he looked at her questioningly. "How did watching the movie turn into it being a whole snuggling thing?" He was teasing, he didn't mind cuddling at all.
“I really don’t even notice it half the time. It just happens. I love food, especially if it’s pasta.” Which he already knew. When they got the menu she laughed, “Okay grandpa need me to read you the choices.” she teased sticking her tongue out at him. “Though you should you’re so hot in glasses.” which was true. “Harry Potter snuggling is a thing you know. And if you don’t want to snuggle me, I’ll snuggle the pillow.” she retorted.
"Actually, why don't you just pick," Alex suggested and arched his brow a little at her comment. "You think it's hot when I wear the glasses?" He questioned as he put the menu back down. He'd happily settle for anything Sophie wanted for dessert, so really she could pick whatever she wanted. He laughed when she said she'd snuggle the pillow. "Well the pillow's not gonna keep you as warm as I can." He radiated heat constantly, so he wasn't even making this up. Plus, he'd be happy to have her close and snuggling to him anyway.
When he said for her to pick she chose something delicious and handed back the menus as they sipped on the last bit of wine he had poured into their glass to finish off the bottle. "I mean the pillow might not keep me warm but a blanket will." she said chuckling. "If you don't want to snuggle with me during Harry Potter than I have to make due with what I can. At least until I can get one of the Phelps twins to snuggle me." she teased knowing he would scoff at that completely.
Alex let out an unhappy grunt at her comment and shook his head. "I never even said no to cuddling up for the movie," he reminded her as he sipped on his wine. "No Phelps twins for you." He knew she was messing with him, but she also so easily poked that jealous part of him so easily and had him grimace a bit at the idea.
“You said how did watching turning into snuggling which seems like you are saying no to snuggling.” she offered at his unhappy grunt. Watching him wrinkle his nose. “I said one of the Phelps twins do you think I’m weird enough to take both… that’s just weird even I wouldn’t do that.” she said rolling her eyes. Though she knew it was more the jealous side of him as she finished off her wine. “Mmm that wine was delicious wasn’t it?”
"Mh, you were so reading into it," he chuckled softly, because he hadn't meant it that way at all, he'd only been teasing a little bit. "How about none of them?" Alex suggested before admitting, "I don't really like to share." He knew Sophie was well aware of that even though he always tried (and failed miserably) to hide this jealous part of him. He simply wanted Sophie all too himself, and he already had to share with the kids after all. Their dessert was served and they dug in, Alex really only taking a few bites before letting Sophie have the rest of it.
“Oh I was huh?” she asked chuckling softly. “No you don’t like to share but I’m okay with that.” she said because she wasn’t asking to be shared in the slightest. After all if she was she wouldn’t have married him. Taking a few bites of the dessert she hummed out. “So delicious, chocolate was absolutely the way to go.”
