[center][u][b]A few hours later...[/b][/u][/center]

	Alexander groggy opened his eyes, sitting upright and pulling the covers tucked underneath him. Quickly grabbing his shirt laying across the bed post, attempting to search the around the softly crept closer to the living room like he was traversing across ice. Following the pungent smell of coffee, poking his head out while hiding his body behind the wall. Alyssa was fully clothed and standing beside the window, with the sun brightly flooding the room. Her eyes glimmered like a candle's flame, staring outside with a coffee mug in her paws. He noticed the box of cherries already opened, sitting on the table, letting out a slight sigh.

[color=662d91]“What are you doing?”[/color] Alexander asked. She glanced back and turned out seeing him standing the middle of the living room, staring down for a couple seconds before she gave him a bright smile.

[color=fff200]“Admiring the view.”[/color] She replied with a straight tone, her tail playfully swishing through the air. Despite Alexander's eye roll revealing he was aware of her innuendo.

[color=662d91]“Where did you put my pants Kacey?”[/color] Alexander questioned. She reacted with a pouty face and turned her head away.

[color=fff200]“Not going to say, especially with that tone of voice.”[/color] She said. Alexander remained silent for a moment, until she playfully stuck her tongue out, showing that she was just teasing him again. He responded with a sigh, turning around and headed into her pink paneled bathroom and pulling back the floral pattern shower curtains. Finding his pants hanging on the shower head, while Alyssa finished drinking the coffee while listening to the water turning on and the door being promptly shut. [i][color=fff200]“Darn. I guess I've gotten predictable.”[/color][/i] She giggled when another light bulb went off in her head. 

His clothes rested on the sink, while the hot water poured down his head, holding the bar of soap in his talons, meticulously scrubbing his wings. He could hear the door being opened despite knowing that he locked it, feeling Alyssa leaning against his back, while wrapping her arms around him, playfully biting his right shoulder.

[color=662d91]“What are you doing now?”[/color] He asked despite knowing how she'd answer back.

[color=fff200]“Biting you.”[/color] She replied muffled with his shoulder still in her maw. He turned himself around seeing her smiling back, without her top, setting the soap down while simultaneously lowering the heat before kissing her. 

[color=662d91]“Doesn't your radio show start in a couple hours?”[/color] Alexander asked holding her paw.

[color=fff200]“Yeah, but I've missed you. I haven't seen you in a while. Since you've been so busy writing.”[/color] Alyssa answered stroking his chest. He looked down seemingly lost in his thoughts, opening his mouth to speak but was interrupted. [color=fff200]“I know you've been struggling, don't hesitate to ask me for help. I'll happily share your burdens.”[/color] He simply smiled at her and kissed her forehead.

[color=662d91]“Thanks, but you don't deserve any more trouble thrust upon you. My burdens are too abundant for someone to share without being hurt-[b]ow.[/b]”[/color] He answered back until she playfully flicked the tip of beak.

[color=fff200]“I got to be prepared for my show, thanks for stopping by. Maybe you can come by sometime and fix my bathroom lock for me.”[/color] She teased before leaving. 

A little later outside Alyssa's apartment, Alexander had left and started walking down the stairs seemingly unaware that somebody was watching him from the passing crowd. He started walking through the pedestrian scramble, crossing the street. The gruff wolf casually threw his cigar down to the ground, occasionally glancing at his target from his newspaper before silently standing up from a nearby bench. He quickly made his way up the stairs to the very apartment and pulling out his tommy gun concealed in his trenchcoat and effortlessly opening the unlocked front door.
