Once back in her apartment, they quickly stripped down and made love again. When they were finished, Wes pulled Alex close to him, spooning her from behind. Just as they were about to go to sleep, Alex whispered, "I think I could really get used to this rather quickly!"
Wes kissed her shoulder and replied, "Good, because I don't plan on changing a thing."

It was still dark when the alarm on Alex's phone sounded. Immediately she could sense something was different, but in her groggy state, she couldn't picture what that was. She extended her arms to stretch, and when her right one ran into something on the other side of her bed, her memory became crystal clear. She could barely see his form under the covers, but she could tell he was there, by listening to the beautiful sounds of his rhythmic breathing in his sleep.
Alex slipped out of bed and crept her way to the single bathroom in the apartment. She turned on the light, squinting at the intrusion of brightness in the otherwise dark space. As she sat on the toilet to relieve her bladder, she looked on the counter and saw his toothbrush and toothpaste. Remembering their evening walk to his apartment so he wouldn't have to kiss her with "pizza breath," she smiled and decided she'd get hers brushed before he woke up.
She had her toothbrush in her mouth when she saw Wes come around the corner into the bathroom. He had found his shorts and had put them on, but when he saw Alex was naked as she brushed, he commented, "I'm overdressed," and quickly tugged them off. Alex giggled, trying hard not to swallow any toothpaste in the process.
Wes stepped beside her next to the small bathroom counter. "Mind if I join you?"
Alex scooted over a few inches and replied, "Go ahead, I'm almost done."
As Wes squeezed toothpaste on his brush, he said, "Don't go anywhere just yet. We're due a kiss as soon as I get done."
She stood there watching the muscles in his arm and chest ripple as he brushed his teeth. Her eyes wandered down lower, and she noticed he was starting to get aroused, which made her giggle to herself. She couldn't let the opportunity go to have a little fun at his expense.
"I never realized that brushing teeth could arouse a man, but there's no hiding the fact that it's having that impact on you!"
He paused and looked over at her with a "really?" smirk in his face, and then chuckled. "Are you kidding? Good hygiene is just about the sexiest thing there is! Which reminds me, I wouldn't touch me down there this morning. I'm very stinky - I must have done some exercising yesterday!"
Alex wiped her mouth with a towel. "Then I must have been exercising with you because I seem to have the same problem. And I don't know about you, but I might be a little sore this morning!"
Wes laughed. "Glad to hear I'm not the only one! May I borrow your towel?"
Alex tossed the towel to him, and he wiped the excess toothpaste his mouth. When he was finished, he turned to face her.
"Good morning, beautiful!"
"Good morning, handsome!" she replied.
They kissed - gentle at first, and then very physical, as if checking to see if their tooth brushing skills would hold up to an immediate test. When they finally stopped, Wes smiled and said, "That was a great way to start the morning!"
She put her arms around his neck and hugged him, saying, "If it was so great, maybe we should do it again!"
They kissed again, and then realized they needed to start getting ready for the day, which meant Wes getting dressed and going back to his apartment. As he pulled his shorts, sweats and t-shirt back on, he remembered something he had intended on telling Alex the previous evening.
"Hey, I wanted to remind you that this is my weekend with Wesley. I usually pick him up at about 9:00 a.m. on Saturday morning. Would you like to spend some time this weekend with the Watson men?"
"I think that sounds lovely! Do you have any specific plans?"
"I think the zoo is in order this weekend, if it's not too cold. I'm pretty sure we'll make a trip to Chuck E. Cheese Pizza sometime on Saturday, and then some quality time at home. Sunday will be another trip to the park - that might be kind of special for us."
She came over and wrapped him up in a hug. "If both of the Watson men are there, it will be special indeed!"
They kissed again, and then Wes headed for the door. Before he got there, he turned back to Alex and said, "Almost forgot, dinner at my apartment tonight, plan on eating about 7:00. I usually get home by 5:15, so you're free to come any time after that."
She walked over to him to give him one more kiss. "Would it be too early if I arrived at 5:16?"
He smiled and replied, "Not at all - I might even let you help me cook! Dress is ultra casual - come and be comfortable! Oh, I'm heading out the door now, and you're standing here naked. You might want to back away a little before I open it!"
Alex pulled him into a tight hug one more time, and he put his hands on her back, sliding down to her ass. She knew they both needed to get ready for work, but letting go was hard. Finally, she stepped back away from the door and watched as he slipped through. She hurried into the bathroom to get her shower started, washing away the fun she had the night before, and looking forward to the fun she hoped to have again soon.

Alex pulled into a parking stall at the school, having to park farther away from the door than usual, since she was running a bit behind. She grabbed the sack on the front seat next to her and headed inside. Her plans for the day had already been set, but normally she liked to have a little time before her kids arrived to mentally prepare for the lessons ahead. She also liked to use this time to talk for a few minutes with her best friend Lori, but that wouldn't happen today either.
But she did make a quick stop in Lori's classroom, not saying a word, but instead tossing the bag with her lost bet payment on Lori's desk before turning and walking out. She knew that Lori would be in her classroom about one minute after their shared planning period had started later in the morning, looking to gloat and perhaps trying to pry more information from Alex about losing the bet. Alex knew she had much more to tell than Lori would expect, and part of her wanted to share that information. But part of her also wanted to keep her fun times with Wes as a private matter.
Right on schedule, Lori burst into Alex's classroom as soon as their planning period started. She had taken enough time to open on of the bags of M&M's and was smiling as she was popping the candies into her mouth. "These are SOOO good when they are free and the result of a lost bet! Want some?"
Alex held out her hand and watched as her friend poured some in her palm. Lori was dying for more information, as Alex expected. "So, did he at least wait until you had gotten your things inside before he came over?"
Alex shrugged. "Well...he might have been waiting for me at my door with flowers in his hand. And he might have brought the M&M's with him so I could pay off my bet."
