I dont own GX. (: Isnt that short and sweet?
Alexis switches off her light and climbs into bed, her movements sluggish. Sleep beckons, and yes, Alexis Rhodes is anxious to sleep.
For every night she dreams of him. Every night without fail, he invades her sleep, making her subconscious slowly warm up to him. Damn, he's already occupied her head every moment when she's awake, and when she's sleeping, he's still selfishly trying to claim his place too.
Alexis rolls over, sighing, trying hard to blank out her brain and make Sleep come. His name was on her lips every second, every day, and every night, she dreams of him, Zane.
For in our dreams, we come alive. It's as if there's a secret world buried deep inside us, and when we dream, everything in my world is right.
Sleep beckons...
She dreams that he is already waiting for her. Her lips turn up in a perfect smile, as she links hands with him and they start to walk slowly.
"You're late today." He teases, his voice light and flippant.
"Did I keep you waiting?" Alexis's eyes sparkle and dance. "I'm sorry. Maybe you should punish me?" Her laugh rings out, a bright, tinkling sound.
"Should I?" His eyes trace her collarbone, her sensuous mouth, and he leans in, closing his eyes.
"If you CAN catch me!" She breaks away and runs a distance, before he opens his eyes and gamely chases.
They weave in and out of trees, lovers playing hide and seek. The sun catches her bright, bright smile and his contented laugh, her teasing words and his glowing eyes. Time seems to fly by them, and Alexis's mind is filled with thoughts of him, him and more him.
"Oh Alexis, give me a break." He flops down on the floor and laughs out merrily. "At least just let me punish you while you keep still!"
She hides from him, watching him talk to himself and giggling happily. If they were here now and mirth was contagious, Jaden would be a crazy brat in mental hospital, Atticus would be bellydancing somewhere in the Atlantic... The thought made her giggle softly. Then she heard his voice.
"Alexis? Alexis?!" She saw him looking frantically about for her, his eyes alight with panic and desperation. "Alexis!"
Suddenly scared, she takes a tentative step forward and calls out. "Zane, I'm here." She smiles. "I was hiding from you... and you didnt find me!" Her smiles turns up some more.
"God Alexis, I thought you were gone. I thought I lost you." He took a small step and she was crushed in her embrace. "I dont want to lose you."
She pulled away. "But Zane, I thought you knew." She tucked an errant strand of hair behind her ear, glancing up, suddenly skittish. "If one day, I were to run away, I would run, but only far away enough for you to catch me."
His eyes are alight with anticipation. His hand reaches for her as she, trembling, slowly brings up her hands..
"Ring! Ring!" Her alarm clock rings, and jerks her back to reality. She sighs, and climbs out of bed slowly.
The truth overwhelms her, threatens to break her.
It's so hard to reach for hands, which in reality, aren't there at all.
