It would have been stranger if the house had unpacked it for you.

[That was actually a creepy thought.]

[11calls]

Oh god. I definitely do not want something that's not me going through my luggage.

[Alex is just going to visibly shudder for a minute.]

But it might have been worth it to see your response to some of the things I grabbed for you.

[nobasisinfact]

[His brows furrowed at the thought. If she was asking him to run away with her then why would she need to pack things for him? He could, should he have chosen to go with, packed for himself.]

Why did you pack for me?

[11calls]

Well, in case we were going to Brazil, I grabbed some things to make you less conspicuous. A sun hat, some shorts and a button down shirt. Just in case. I was trying to be prepared.

[Alex thought things through, Richard. Shouldn't you be glad?]

[nobasisinfact]

[Maybe, but instead, he just frowned. He wasn't wearing those.]

I would have sold them.

[11calls]

[Alex just rolls her eyes.]

The idea is hiding, Richard. Not going around and announcing our presence. Besides, they weren't like jeans or anything. I know you better than that. They were very... yuppie.

[Says the hipster.]

[nobasisinfact]

[He raises a brow.]

Yuppie?

[11calls]

What else am I supposed to call the man who can't walk home in shirtsleeves and know his lovely companion is wearing his suit jacket over very sexy lingerie?

[Come on, Dr. Strand. You're a yuppie.]

[nobasisinfact]

Conscious of the fact that my suit jacket covers very little.

[11calls]

But didn't think of the fact that I'd put my other coat over it, I see.

[Alex looks amused.]

This look isn't something for public consumption, my love.

[nobasisinfact]

And if you're wearing your coat, you don't need mine.

[11calls]

I think you're missing the point of me wearing your jacket, Richard.

[Alex is just going to keep looking amused while she shakes her head.]

[nobasisinfact]

Different variables can gain different result.

[11calls]

You're not taking into account the knowledge that you'd be the only one who knew about it the whole way home.

[nobasisinfact]

I think you're mistaking me with Nic.

[He holds out his hand for her.]

[11calls]

Please, like Nic has ever cared about seeing me naked.

[Alex just snorts and she takes his hand, letting him tug her off the top of his desk. Pausing for a moment, Alex puts her trench coat, the one that he gave her back on, and she gathered her hair from inside of it and dropped it against her back before starting to button it up.]

Better?

[nobasisinfact]

Yes.

[Closing his laptop he moves for the door, taking her hand as he does so. Just because he doesn't want to have sex with her in his office doesn't mean he has no desire to show his affection. Besides, it would be awkward if his colleagues heard them. It's better at home.]

[11calls]

[She takes his hand but stops for a second with a little laugh.]

As good as these shoes are for making my butt look good... [The original reason she'd told Rey that they were worn.] And as convenient they are for the height difference between us, they're actually several inches higher than the heels I'd ever wear, and the last thing I need is a broken ankle when we're moving tomorrow.

[nobasisinfact]

[He raises a brow, smirking.]

Changing to flats then?

[11calls]

Don't be smug.

[Alex leans in and kisses him quickly.]

It's for your back as much as it is my feet. Wouldn't want you to have to carry me home.

[The tone in her voice says she'd definitely never expect that he'd do that.]

[nobasisinfact]

[He returns the kiss, leaning in a little.]

You say that as if I would.

[11calls]

I'm aware you wouldn't, my love.

[Alex just smirks a bit as she leans down and undoes the straps of the heels at her ankles, leaning her hand against his chest as she does so.]

[nobasisinfact]

[He reaches, holding her hand to help stabilize her.]

[11calls]

[When both of her shoes are off, and she's back to her normal six-inches-shorter size, she just looks up at him with a smirk.]

Better now?

[nobasisinfact]

[He leans down, kissing her lightly.]


Yes.
