Alex picked up her coffee, and for the first time she realized that she'd dropped one before. She was trying to keep track of her caffeine intake, considering she was trying to sleep you know, better than she had been, so she had counted that coffee among her list. Well, now she had this one, and the coffee didn't matter because nothing else mattered other than the fact that Richard was here, and that he loved her back. What a change it had been from a week ago, and she vaguely considered going back and finding the post so that he wouldn't stumble across it if he went back and read over the network, but that thought pushed over her head when Richard Strand said something that he knew would get a rise out of her, especially in his stupid and sexy voice.
So, Alex choked on her coffee, just from the way that he'd said it, and instantly her pale cheeks flooded with pink, and she knew that he knew that it would. Of course he did. There were times after Strand said that he'd listened to her whole show (shitty ads and all) that he'd said something to make her turn as red as she was now. It took her a minute to get her choking under control, and she just raised a brow at him, trying to play it cool even though her face was the color of her jacket at home.
"You're such an ass sometimes, you know." Her voice was amused versus being angry and she picked up her coffee and took another sip of it, trying to be more smooth about this because she was an adult and they were about to start on a relationship rather than Alex having a crush on a professor. (Even though she had admitted to Nic and Amalia that if he was teaching classes when she was in college, she would have had a major crush on his stupid voice.) "I would assume we want one bed unless you're planning on sleeping on the sofa. It might be a stretch with your height though. Apo and I can take the bed if you're not planning on sleeping with me." No, ignore the color that went up to her ears even as she mentally repeated: I am a grown ass woman, this is just flirting.
