Hidden

Romantic Scene From A Movie

Hope you guys like this, the parts will be slightly longer than my other story💖
Alice POV:
I was on my own in the house. I had just come back from the register. Betty was at pops, Polly had gone again to who knows where and Hal, well I wouldn't see Hal ever again. He got life in prison for his murders and as much as I was broken the first week upon finding out I was fine now. Just glad that mans out of my life.
All I can want is a nice relaxing bath so I make my way up to my bedroom unbuttoning my shirt and ridding myself of my bra before I even get into my room. I chuck them to the side and then take the rest of my clothes off.
Shit, I forgot the body wash I had brought the other day downstairs. I don't even bother grabbing a towel and I walk downstairs completely naked. I mean I am home alone so who's going to see? It was a guilty pleasure of mine, walking around naked because my Northside clothes I was for some reason still wearing were so uncomfortable.
I reach the bottom of the stairs and gasp to see Fp Jones standing in the middle of my living room with his mouth dropped open. I cover all I can with my hands but it leaves little to the imagination.
"Shit" I mutter under my breathe. He covers his eyes respectfully.
"Alice I'm so sorry I didn't realise-" he starts but I stop him by laughing.
"Don't worry about it" I say laughing at the situation. Of course it had to be him. It's not like he hadn't seen me naked before heck we slept together a few weeks ago. If there was anyone I felt comfortable being naked around it was him.
"How did you even get in here?" I ask still not thinking to put some clothes on.
"Betty let me in before she left, I didn't see you come in because I was sitting in the kitchen thinking you would go in there first" he said still covering his eyes.
I grab one of Betty's shorts and a random bra from the laundry and put them on so he could uncover his eyes. The shorts came so high, they basically showed half my ass and this bra must be hers because my boobs are practically falling out of it.
"Uh remind me to throw away these shorts" I mutter under my breath knowing they are way to inappropriate for her.
I return to the living room where he is still adorably covering his eyes.
"Alice?" He says wondering where I am.
"Back again and clothed this time" I say laughing a little. He uncovers his eyes but they almost bulge out when he see what I am now wearing.
"Yeah I know they're Betty's" I say and he nods but still avoids looking at me.
"Uh I can come back later if you want" he says rubbing the back of his neck.
"No it's fine, not to be rude but why are you here?" I ask.
"Umm I wanted to check on you after the whole Hal thing and I guess I just need someone to talk to as well" he says and for the first time I can see hurt in his eyes.
"Oh my god that's right Jug was hurt, I'm sorry I didn't ask you it's just I've had some problems of my own. Is he okay?" I blubber
feeling guilty.
"He's fine, good as before I just need to get my mind off it and I was thinking if we both have things to get our mind off of we can do it together" he says looking at the floor shyly.
"Fp Jones are you asking me on a date?" I say as a joke but he doesn't seem to get it.
"If that's what you want to call it" he says surprising me because I thought he wasn't interested in me. That we fucked that once for old time same and that was it. There has always been a chemistry between us but I thought it was just me. He was the only one who knew me fully because of the three years we dated in high school. Well I say dated, we were practically married. I basically lived in his trailer with him because he lived alone after his parents abandoned him and I hated my parents so it was perfect.
If I was honest I thought I was going to spend my life with this man and I never fell out of love with him. Just situations got in the way, life got in the way. I joined the serpents and became his serpent queen but along with that came danger and when I fell pregnant with his baby I knew I had to leave the serpents. It wasn't my life I was endangering anymore, it was our child's. I didn't tell him and we pushed each other away. He knew I was getting into trouble and he drew the line when my life was threatened by Penny and I let him because I was pregnant and I couldn't let our baby get hurt. He hadn't even found out about the child I had and gave up for adoption until two weeks ago when I told him. We hadn't spoken about it since and I had a feeling we would today.
"Okay, it's a date. You want to go on a walk or something, get out of this house?" I suggest and he nods.
We both preferred the outside, nature. It was peaceful and calm.
"I should probably put on some appropriate clothes" I say and he chuckles at me. I chuck on a pair of jean shorts and a plain white top. It wasn't my usual outfit but I liked it and it was comfortable.
I walk downstairs and notice him staring at the family photos I had up. I forgot all about them, my wedding photos were even still on display.
I look at them in horror and snatch them from the table. I keep them in my hands as I walk out the door and he follows me.
"What are you going to do with them?" He ask.
"Get out a lot of pent up anger" i reply and he smiles at me.
"Shall we go to sweet water river?" He suggests because we always used to walk alongside there. It was a nice walk too because there was a forest leading into it.
"Sounds great" I say calming down slightly after finding the photos. I look at them and see me in a wedding dress and Hal next to me. I don't even look happy.
"That was supposed to be you" I say without thinking. My head shoots up to look at his reaction and he smiles at me.
"I had wished the whole 22 years you were married to him it was me" he admits making me want to grab his face and kiss him but our kids are dating so it's wrong.
Instead I look away and as we reach the forest. He lays down his serpent jacket for me to sit on and I thank him.
"Can we talk?" He says. The question I've been dreading because I know it's going to be about our son who was probably dead because of me. The son I turned away thinking he was selling something and he went on a bender that night and overdosed.
"Of course" I reply because it was his right to know.
"Our son, is his mine on the birth certificate?" He asks making me wince.
"Yeah I put him down as yours" I say staring at the floor.
"Look I'm sorry I didn't tell you, it's just you know what the circumstance were like" I continue.
"I don't blame you one bit Alice and you shouldn't either" he said putting his hand on my leg for support. It left goosebumps where he touched and I hoped he didn't notice.
"Maybe things would have been different" I say looking at his hand on my bare skin.
"We can't go back but what matters now is that I'm here for you now" he says making me smile weakly at him.
I look at the picture and as anger starts to fill me I throw it at a tree so the frame smashes.
"Feel better now?" He said.
"Not just yet" I say getting up and missing the feeling of his hand on me instantly. I search for two dry enough twigs and rub them together to try and start a fire. He catches on to what I'm doing and puts a pile of twigs in front of where we were sitting so I could set them alight.
Soon the wood sparks before catching slight and I throw the burning wood into the pile he made.
"You've always been good at that" he says picking up the photo that had fallen come out of the smashed frame now and handing it to me. It take it from him and feel his arm go around me as I throw it into the fire.
"Now I feel better" I say because I really did, I was finally letting go of that period of my life.
The sun was starting to set and we sat around the fire on his jacket.
"It's funny how one person can make you feel like all these years didn't happen. Like your young and fearless again" I say at him. Our faces were close because his arm was around me.
"I was just thinking the same thing" he replied.
"Why does this feel like a romantic scene in a movie where the people kiss and find out there in love" I say looking around. The sunset, the birds chirping, the blazing fire and the flowing river next to us.
"It does doesn't it" he says. For a second I think we might kiss but I shut it down by turning my head for the fire. We cant kiss, we can't. It's wrong ok so many levels. Reason number 1: he's married well separated but not the point, reason number 2: our kids are dating. That all the reasons I need not to kiss him even though that's what I crave.
"I could watch fire all day" I say randomly. I always had random thoughts and with Hal I would always have to hide them because he would judge me for them but I knew Fp wouldn't. In fact he always found them amusing and often related to them.
"Me to" he said.
"It's because no flame is the same, each on that comes up and a different shape" I say.
"Kind Of like people. And then somehow you find the perfect one. And you let her go and for the rest of your life you regret it" he said looking me deep in the eyes. I knew he was talking about me and i feel my eyes fill with tears upon hearing him call me perfect and the fact he had regretted letting me go for the past 22 years.
"Where did life go?" I say crying now and hiding my head in his arm to hide my tears but he knew I was crying because I would always do this when we were younger.
"Hey, were not dead" he said lifting my chin up with his hand making me laugh softly.
We stared at each other for a while before I realised what time it must be.
"Shit! Betty will be home now" I said remembering I couldn't just stay here forever with him as much as I wanted to.
"Oh yeah sorry I'll walk you back" he said standing up and reaching his hand out to help me up. I took it and stood up but my legs was dead from sitting for to long and I fell into him.
He caught me and picked me up like I was nothing, cradling me in his arms.
"Careful you there's a fire there and you will end up in it if you fall" he says as I cling onto his neck.
"Thank you, I'm such a klutz" I say expecting him to put me down but he doesn't. He bends down still holding me and picks up his jacket placing it over me to cover my bare arms.
The fire is dying out so we don't have to put it out and he carry's me all the way home. I almost doze off a couple of times but I stop myself.
"Here we go, home safe and sound" he says putting me down but still holding on to me in case I fall.
"Thank you, for everything" I say.
"It's okay blondie" he replied as I open my door and he turns to walk away.
"Oh and Fp" I say before I can even stop myself. He turns around
"Yes Alice" he says and without a second thought I pull him into me and give him a soft kiss on the lips. Not a long one just a quick peck before I pull away and go into my house flashing him a quick smile before I shut my door. I lean against the door smiling at myself until I see Betty walk down the stairs and I realise what I have done. I just did what I told myself not to the whole time. Fuck.
