Week Four : Sunday
Who: Alex and Serena
When: Afternoon
Where: The Towers

It felt good to be out of Lake Tahoe. The drive to Seattle was.. pretty gorgeous. It was his first time ever traveling up that way and he had thoroughly enjoyed the drive. It made the more than 13 hour drive seem like it lasted only minutes. Actually, the drive was horrible. He had started out yesterday afternoon but by the time he had made it to Eugene, Oregon he was exhausted and had ended up spending the night in a motel out there. He woke up early in the morning and finished the rest of the drive, making it into Seattle shortly after noon and getting lost trying to find his way to the towers. It was just approaching 2pm when he finally found where he was supposed to be.

He parked his 1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS Z28 right in front of the large building before climbing out of the car. The jeans he wore were well worn, ripped in places and faded everywhere. He wore with it a white t-shirt that showed the tell-tale signs of many grease-laden incidents. His hair was a bit of a mess and his face stubbly but there was no denying that he was an incredibly handsome guy. He pulled a pack of smokes out of his pocket along with a zippo and placed on between his lips, lighting it up to inhale a deep drag before pulling out his cellphone and dialing his sister's number.

The phone rang once, twice, and then he heard her voice on the other end. "I'm out front. Get your ass downstairs and help me." He remarked, ashing this cigarette as he walked around behind the car to the U-Haul tag-along and opened up the lock. "I have to have this thing back by seven or they'll charge for an extra day."

After taking a walk down memory lane the night before with Kaden, she had spent the rest of the night soaking in her tub and trying not to cry. It had been hard on her heart but she was glad that she had made it through it and extended an olive branch. Even though he didn't remember her, she couldn't picture her life without him and was not ready to completely let go. There was always that chance that he might remember and she knew that she would regret it for the rest of her life if she was not there waiting for him. But could she wait forever?

This morning she was doing better and a nice job with Tony coupled with the fact that her brother would be there later that afternoon did wonders for her spirit. After the run and a shower, she shared some breakfast with the dog and got busy trying to get as much put away as possible before Alex arrived with even more stuff that was going to need a home. Oh, and of course she made sure that her spare room was completely ready for its new guest.

Serena practically dove for her phone when it rang and couldn't keep the smile off of her face. "Yeah, yeah, I'm coming!" He was so demanding, sheesh! Even though she was wearing a pair of ratty jeans and a t-shirt she may or may not have stolen from her brother back in the day with her hair sticking out from its ponytail every which way, she ran out into the hall and headed downstairs.

"LEXY!" Her smile could have lit even the darkest room as she sprinted toward him and leapt into arms. "God it's good to see you!" The strongest hug she could manage was given and time seemed to stop as the two embraced. "You have no idea how much I've missed you," she muttered as she pressed a big ol' kiss to his cheek. "Have you gotten taller?" Yeah, she had missed him something fierce.

Alex would never admit to anyone how much he missed his sister. It just wasn't right for a grown man to be so attached but he was, and if could have her around all the time, he would. And that was a definite possibility if she agreed to have him.

He started to grab a few of the boxes from the back of the tag-along after she had hung up the phone, smiling around the cigarette that dangled from his lips. It was the only way to keep his energy at a normal level as he waited for her to come downstairs. It felt like years since he had seen her even though it had only been a few months at most. But considering all the time they spent together in their childhood, a few months was like a couple of years and the past few years had been especially rough on him.

When he heard her voice, an instant grin spread from cheek to cheek and he braced himself, turning to receive the hug, the cigarette carefully discarded to the side. Arms wrapped around her tightly, reciprocating the monster of a hug as he lifted her up a bit and gave her a little bit of a swing. "I didn't get taller. You just got shorter, Midget." He remarked with that smirky grin of his, placing her firmly back down on her feet.

He eyed her for a moment, not in a lecherous way at all, as a slight frown came over his lips. "What's wrong?" He asked. Yes, she was smiling. Yes, she looked incredibly happy. But he knew his sister and he knew that there was something going on with her. And then something else took his attention. "Is that my shirt?" He arched a brow slightly. "You thief. I've been lookin' for that." For around a dozen years at least.
