Chapter 11

Alexis is just waking up when the phone in her suite rings.

A- (sounding tired) Alexis Davis.

N- Oh, did I wake you?

A- No, I was up.

N- Liar. Why don't you go back to bed?

A- No, I'm up now.

N- I was wondering if you'd like to join me for breakfast.

A- I would. Just give me a half hour.

N- I'll come up to your suite.

They say good-bye and hang up.

20 mins. later. Ned knocks on her door. But she is in the shower and doesn't hear him. He tries the door which, amazingly, is unlocked. He goes in and sits on her bed. A minute later, Alexis walks out of the shower with a towel around her. She looks surprised to see him.

N- Sorry if I scared you. The door was unlocked.

A- I wonder how that happened.

N- (smiling) Yeah, I wonder. A- (smiling also) Are you insinuating that I purposely left the door unlocked?

N- Not at all.

A- Good, because I didn't.

N- Are you going to give me a hug?

A- Maybe. Maybe not.

But she walks over to him anyways.

N- I missed you.

A- Missed me? It's only been about a day since I last saw you.

N- So? I can still miss you.

Ned pulls her onto his lap.

A- (teasing) Uh-oh, I knew this was a bad idea.

N- Too bad.

He takes the towel off her head, then he kisses her and pushes her against the mattress. Then he takes her other towel off. Somehow, they never make it to breakfast.
