You've Got Mail (Cira, Closed)

[Midnight]

"Yep, I miss this." Cira muttered with a sigh, reaffirming how much she missed him by scooting just a little closer as the opening scene played, starring Will Smith and his dog Sam, a German Sheperd. She ate her pizza as fast as she could, knowing tense moments would be coming around the corner and she didn't want to be distracted by food. Being distracted by Alex was fine, but anything else was just an irritation.

Alex heard her mumble but couldn't make out what she had said. He glanced over at her and raised his brow. "You say something babe?" he asked just before looking back at the screen. The opening scene starting up, he leaned back into the couch and closer to her and just exhaled slowly.

Throughout most of the movie Alex paid attention but he was also thinking about him and Cira. They had gone a long time being apart from each other and talked on a regular but distant basis. He didn't know if she was still the same girl he loved anymore or not. He didn't know if she still cared for him the same way she did four years ago. He knew he still loved her the same. She is the only girl to ever affect him the way she did. During all his traveling around the world his feelings for her intensified without her even having to be around. He knew she was the one, he just had to figure out how to tell her and find out if she thought that about him to.

[Midnight]

Cira smiled. "I said I missed this." She kissed him lightly on the cheek then returned to the movie, enjoying the chase seen of Nevel and Sam in his cherry red Mustang Shelby Cobra hunting the deer. Flashes of their time spent together during JROTC and lunch, or after school with KARR when he was still good occasionally reached the back of her mind when she watched the chase scene....

-Timeskip to the end of the movie-

Cira sighed. "So awesome." she said rubbing a tear off her right eye. "Can't help but feel sorry for Nevel...and Sam...I liked that dog...but those 'Dark Seekers' are wicked!" she yawned and then flopped down on her side on Alex's legs, using him as a pillow.

Alex let out a small laugh when he saw her wipe a tear from her eye. He wondered if she heard the rumor of a prequel to the movie being made. He looked down at her after she laid down on him, he brushed the hair out of her face and then just graced her cheek again and again.

"Is somebody tired?" he asked in a childish like voice

With his free hand he reached over and rested it on her thighs and softly stroked her leg. He wondered what time it was so he looked at the nearest clock. It was a quarter after 11, he wasn't even beginning to feel tired. Must be from all the excitement of being back together with Cira. He looked down at her and just stared into her eyes.

"I love you Cira." he said softly

[Midnight]

Cira's heart leapt at hearing his words, still glad to know he was happy to be with her. She smiled brightly, turning to face him as he touched her and spoke the words. He'd already said it when they texted but it was different when it was said aloud, especially it being the official first time.

She sat up and wrapped her left around around his shoulder, putting a hand to his cheek, turning it to her to kiss him on the lips, her face flushing considerably as she did so. Her inner self was dancing for joy at the promise of their future together.
"I love you too, Alex," she said softly. Cira closed her eyes and leaned in a little more, passionately kissing him on the lips.

[Alex Johnson]

He closed his eyes when she kissed him, he then opened them afterwards and rested his forehead against hers. He was a little short of breath from their first kiss after four very long years. He was a little self conscious and concerned with his kissing after so long. But before he could even ask her she already answered by leaning in and kissing him more passionately. His eyes widened and then slowly closed as he kissed her back with just as much passion. Many thoughts were racing through his mind including answers to some of his questions. He finally felt the knot in his gut slowly go away and knew that they were meant to be together. He knew she loved him just as much as he loved her, and he knew she never wanted them to be apart again. Their relationship hadn't strained or drifted or fallen apart at all while they were on a break and he knew that now, all from just as simple an action as a kiss.

He turned his whole body so that he was completely facing her and then moved to lay down on the couch, pulling her down to lay with him. He wrapped both his arms around her, they practically wrapped her whole torso from their size difference. He intertwined his legs with hers and closed his eyes and listened to the sound of her breathing.

"Together forever right?" he asked nonchalantly hoping she would like to talk about their future together

[Midnight]

Cira wiggled a little, snuggling against him like he was a blanket. "All eternity." she agreed just as solemnly. Despite her voice sounding almost as nonchalant, it simultaneously hinted joy; Cira was too at peace to express it more than that. Once they got to know each other better during Cira's sophomore year, she found that she'd always felt calm around Alex. He'd automatically taken the place of what KARR used to be for her before he went crazy again and went beyond that by Alex's senior year.

"Hey we should tell the original group you're back in town." Cira said. "Sarah, Mike, Billy and Zoe wouldn't know you, but obviously Devon and dad do." Her step dad was Michael Knight, father of Mike Traceur (now also known as Mike/Michael Knight, as he took his place in the field once he retired). Micheal had been the only father she'd ever known, as her real father hardly saw her after she was a baby and practically disowned her because her parents 'didn't have the time to take care of her'. Having a small family had its disadvantages too.

"Dad would be happy to know you still want to be with me after wandering around so long. Frankly, he'll probably be surprised that you didn't have more fun taking the chance to get more...experience." she chuckled, remembering how her dad was with that kind of thing...he and "miss Traceur" finally got together after they temporarily shut down the Foundation for a couple years in that time frame, but April and Bonnie both told her numerous times how he was quite the womanizer.

[Alex Johnson]

"All eternity." she said as she snuggled with him. He was so happy to hear that that his heart nearly burst from his chest it was so filled with joy. He was already thinking about what he would be doing in the days ahead in his personal free time now.

"That sounds like a plan, I'd like to catch up with them soon." he said.

He had the usual reason to catch up with his old pal Devon but he had several reasons for speaking to Michael. Curious as to what new tech he may have along with any new information that he might find useful. But most importantly he wanted to ask him permission to propose to Cira.

He opened his eyes and stared up at the ceiling with an awkward look after her last comment about her dad and about him getting more 'experience' during his travels. Truth is he was still a virgin, him and Cira never had sex during their relationship and before they split up he knew he wanted to loose it to her. After they split up and went their seperate paths he still felt the same and was determined to wait to loose it til it could be with her. Hell during his traveling he never even gave a single girl the time of day, didn't matter what country or city he was in. Every girl that came to him he politely sent away, he was very committed to Cira. Even while on a break he was still hers and only hers.

"Well...I'm a little embarrassed to say this but I'm still a virgin." he said blushing and looking away.

[Midnight]

Cira blinked a little in surprise. Well, she was half expecting him either to not say anything or assume there was a chance he had experimented a little...but from what she could tell so far this was not so. She sat up. "Well judging by how you've acted so far I'm not too surprised." she patted his head and smiled. "But I'm flattered to know you decided against it even if you might have had many opportunities. As for me, I've been too busy to have a boyfriend. Lots of training, flying, parkour practice, working with the bots and the NEST Combat Control, etc etc." she sighed. "But I don't really mind since I still had my sights on you anyway. I've been having tons of fun. I got to bug KARR in my war piggy a couple times. He didn't like that since I can almost out fly him."

[Alex Johnson]

Alex was more the relieved to hear she was too busy to be with any guys while away and that she had her sights set on him this whole time. "Sounds like a lot on your plate, where will you squeeze me into that busy life of yours now that I'm back?" he asked playfully.

He was opening up more to her now that she told him that. He felt excited like never before but also tired from the day. He yawned and stretched out his arms. Then he rested them on her again and closed his eyes. He was slowly beginning to fall asleep and wanted to move to the bed where it was more comfortable but didn't want to take the time to have her out of his arms. So he remained there silent, the only way he was moving was if she wanted to.

[Midnight]

"Let's just stay here okay?"Cira said with a long yawn. She reached up for a pillow. "I'm comfy right here." she really was, and was a little more tired now, too. "Oh! I should take you running tomorrow and show you some parkour." she suggested with another shorter yawn.

[Alex Johnson]

"Parkour...." he yawned "...right..." he concluded before finally falling asleep after another long yawn.

(This is the end for this post for me)
