Chapter Text
"So I need to choose a side?", Alex ask Bradley.
"Yes, but I think you already do your choice," Bradley said, "You choose him." Bradley ads.
"I love Paul, even all of you don't believe. I can do my work and have him by my side." Alex said a bit angry.
"How could you fell in love with him?! You said you hate him in the beggining?", Bradley ask.
"I know what I said, but after that I get to know him better, and he is an amazing person," Alex afirms genuinly, "And if you already know my side you can get out." Alex final ads.
The day was intense for Alex, a lot of things happen this week, but she knows in the final of a bad or a good day, Paul is there, and that comforts her heart, a lot actualy. When she arrives home, his car is already there, so he is home, her home. And now kinda a bit of their own.
"Hey gorgeous," Paul welcome her home, "Hum, I missed you," he said giving her a gentle kiss.
"Hey handsome," Alex gave paul a kiss, "I missed you too, actualy I was counting the minutes to get home," she said.
"You don't seem ok, what happen at UBA?" Paul aks, knowing something is wrong.
"They want me to choose a side," Alex whispers.
"Choose a side?" Paul asks.
"Yes, and I choose you. You and I are a team, so we are in this together. They can try separate us, but will be just a try," Alex afirms.
"I love you, you know that right?", Paul ask/afirm.
"I love you too" Alex said, giving him a kiss.
The hug they share, is the mirror of the love they both feel for each other. It's genuine and powerful, and will be them against the world, or in this case against UBA.
"You want to eat something?" Paul ask her, with her still in his arms.
"For now I just want to enjoy to being in your arms," Alex said, hugging him more.
"I can stay here in this position forever, if you stay in my arms forever", Paul afirm.
"I will love", Alex said, "I love you, thank you for your support," Alex give him a kiss on the lips.
...
While they stay in that position, in each others arms, he thinks about all the things he was doing, in the past and in the moment, and some of them he knows if Alex knows, she will probably will fight with him. But, of course he want her in his life, he probably should tell her, before he lost her. And that, scares him a lot, the possibility of losing Alex and her love.
"I can hear you thinking," Alex said looking at him.
"Sorry, I'm just really stressed," Paul said looking back at her.
"Tell me what is worrying you that much, maybe I can help," Alex said giving him a kiss.
"Can we just stay like these for a little bit, please" Paul kinda ask.
"It's ok, I will wait, I'm here always, you can count on me," Alex smile, "Came here big guy", Alex said, while open her arms for cuddle him in her arms.
"You are my comfort and my home Alex, I'm so grateful for you," Paul said with his head buried in her chest.
"You are my home and comfort too," Alex said. "You know if you want to let out all the emotions, you can, you are with me it's a safe place." Alex said honestly.
...
A little bit of a time jump, because Paul need to travel to Texas again, he was having some problems at Hyperion. The things between Paul and Alex are really good, with the time he was being more open with her, they are building a really solid trust in each other.
