[CLOSED] daydream away

[blake falon aldridge]

"I could treat you like Dakota. Sneak you dog biscuits when you aren't looking. Pet you and call you baby. Although you're not quite a horse. Or a dead body." She said with a smile, then blushed at his comment. She bit her lip, her eyes watching his. But she knew he couldn't watch back.

"Can't even think of one?" She asked quietly, then pulled his arm around her. She moved a bit, resting her hand on his chest. She ran her fingers over the fabric, wondering why she was so nervous about the same thing she had done earlier. She put her other hand on the side of his neck, and she leaned into him. She pressed her lips to his gently, her eyes slowly closing as she melted against him. She moved her hand higher up on his chest, wanting to feel this more than once. She pulled away for a moment, then moved so she was sitting on his thigh. She kissed him again, her hand touching hesitantly at his jaw. She slowly parted her lips, wondering why she was so scared about doing this, why she felt so nervous when kissing him felt more right than anything she had ever done in her life.

Rex chuckled. "I would prefer not," He teased, voice hushed. He felt every touch of her hands, smiled some. Then he felt her lips against his own and he met the kiss slowly, reaching up a momentarily cautious hand, fingertips tracing her face before he cupped her cheek.

She had moved closer and he kept his arm around her, leaning back some. This kiss was more...affectionate. Lips parted some, but the action remained steady, sweet. Never in his right mind had he thought she would ever be more than a friend. He had always digured that going this far would be too far for her.
But now, apparently not. And the feeling of such acceptence by her felt absolutely amazing.

Blake slowly wrapped her arms around his neck, her heart pounding in her chest. She slowly pulled away, her hand reaching up to cup his cheek. She looked up at him, realizing why she had pushed the idea away- he was her coworker. It wasn't because he was blind, or needed a little help every once and awhil, it was because he was her coworker. Not that there wasn't always some form of affection there for him. She had just never noticed it until now.

"See? I'd much rather have coffee with you than Dakota." She said with a smile, kissing the corner of his mouth. She didn't want to, but she climbed out of his lap, drinking the last bit of coffee before tossing the cup.

"Ready to go, handsome?" She asked, running a hand through his hair. She smiled, wrapping her arms loosely around his shoulders.

Rex chuckled. "And I'd much rather be here with you." He smiled, kissed the corner of her mouth. "Mm, sure am." He took her hand, finishing his coffee and standing.

"Dakota." The dog jumped off the chair, taking his own leash and nudging Rex's free hand.

"When you coming to play again?" The male voice called from behind the counter. Rex smiled. "Whenever I'm free again."

Blake smiled, following him and the dog out to the car. She waited for him to get in before running back in, grabbing a coffee for his friend. She paid the guy with a smile, then walked back out to the car, putting it into the cup holder. She started the car, then drove to the hospital. She pulled into the parking lot, killing the engine before getting out and letting Dakota out the back. She reached up, grabbing the coffee, hearing something rustle in the bush. She grabbed the dog's leash, coaxing him quietly over to Rex.

"Go inside." She told him, slipping into the passengers seat. "I'll be right in. I lost an earring."

[rex 'r']

Rex nodded, took the coffee. "Rex, door," He murmured. He nearly bumped into someone on the way in. "Oops, sorry."

Asking for Officer Rick's room, he trailed his hand over the Braille on the doors until he found the right one, knocked and opened the door.

A soft chuckle. "Rex my man,"
A sightless smile, letting Dakota lead him to the bed. A hesitant hand found a chair and pulled it up. "Coffee, you okay?"

"Fine, thanks. Bullet to the shoulder, nothing that can't heal."

Blake pulled her gun out of the glove box, slipping the magazine into it before getting back out her car. She didn't want to be alone, but she would rather be alone than have Rex in the middle of whatever this perv had in mind. If it was even him in the bushes. She walked slowly to the doors, her gun pointed towards the bushes. She quickly put it into her holster, then walked inside. She smiled at the guy at the desk, asking where Rex had gone. She walked up the stairs, her hand on her gun. She found his room, knocking gently on the door.

"Hi." She said in a hushed tone with a weak smile, obviously shaken up. She held out her hand to him. "I'm Aldridge."

[rex 'r']

Rex could hear the smile in his voice, in his familiar, slightly husky laugh. "I know who you are."
"That's cos you know everybody," Rex complained, amused.

Jeston Rick's shook her hand, then paused to take a sip of the coffee.
"Was wondering if you would come to see me, didn't think you would bring along a pretty girl Rex."

He only smiled sheepishly at this.

"Could'a used you out on the feild as much as we needed you on that headset today t-rex," He teased.

[blake falon aldridge]

Blake blushed, lowering her head. She saw Dakota and smiled, sitting down next to Rex. "Come see, puppy." She said, patting her leg.

"Oof." She grunted as the dog climbed into her lap. "I love you too, you big thing." She said, petting him gently. She fell quiet, looking up affectionately at Rex every once and awhile. She ran her hand across Dakota's coat, kissing the top of his head. She moved her gun further back on her belt so he wouldn't shoot through the floor with his tail. She leaned against Rex's chair, closing her eyes for a moment. She felt safe, like the person out in the bushes couldn't come get her now. Like Rex would keep all the monsters at bay.

[rex 'r']

Rex could hear her and Dakota moving about, absently reached and searched out her hand.

"Well, looks like I'll be getting my pain meds here now. Then I'll be out cold." He laughed softly. "I should be back some time next week though."

A familiar hand patted Rex's knee. "Take care of yourself Rex my boy, okay?"
"Of course," Rex murmured, smiling some. "Just had to come check up on you.."
