Alex's POV
I woke up before everyone else in the house, so I took the opportunity to quietly feed Sebastian and Peyton, then take them for a walk in the neighbourhood afterwards. To be honest, that thought I had before going to bed last night made me panic a bit, and walking around only let my mind explore these thoughts even more. I know why I thought it last night...because Rachel said she was too tired for sex, and thats the kind of thing old married couples would say. Just look at those old sit-coms, that was the excuse they use all the time.
But of course, my mind was still on that thought. What if I said it for a different reason? I'm glad I didn't say it out loud though, I was afraid of what Rachel would think of that. I guess I've been known to get attached to the girls I date if I really like them. In fact, in the 6th grade my first "girlfriend" Tasha Cyprus broke up with me because I wouldn't leave her alone at recess. And I knew that I didn't want Rachel to leave me like that.
My thoughts were interrupted when my phone rang in my jacket pocket. I grabbed it and saw my mothers phone number on the screen.
"Hey mom, how are you? How's the weather in Barbados?" I asked, jealous of her and my father being on vacation in the warm weather.
"Hi sweetie, your father and I are great and its so beautiful here! We wish you had come with us" she said sounding a bit upset. I was about to apologize for not coming on vacation with them when she continued, "but you made a good argument of how you wanted to stay with that girlfriend of yours for the holidays. How are you two? It's Rachel right?"
"Thanks for understanding on why I wanted to stay here with her. Yes, its Rachel, and we're doing great. In fact, me and the dogs moved in with her about a week ago." I told her as I stood at the end of the sidewalk, waiting for my turn to cross the street with the dogs.
"Wow thats a big step, I didn't realize you two were that serious. And how come I havent met her yet? Your father and I would love to have you two over sometime"
"What? How have I not introduced you guys to her for this long?!" I said more surprised with myself, "I think she would love you and dad. I'll run the idea past her today, maybe we can come over when you guys get back for your vacation? When do you get back anyways?"
"Hey dont ask me why you didn't do something, Al" my mom joked with me, I couldn't help but let out a small laugh, "we get back on the 28th. Maybe you would like to bring her to the New Years Eve party we're going to. I can give you the details when we get home and you can think about it."
My mom and I continued talking for the rest of my walk. She mostly talked about the things they had done on their vacation. Occasionally she would ask me about Rachel more and on the inside I was so happy knowing that she wanted to know more about my girl. By the time we hung up, I was back at our house, and decided that I'd make a big breakfast for everyone.
About half an hour later, I had made french toast and a crapload of pancakes. I had a feeling that everyone would soon wake up from the smell of all the food.
I had just put on the bacon and it started to sizzle very loudly, but I heard footsteps coming down the stairs and the dogs going to greet whoever had come down.
"Mornin' babe" I heard Rachel's voice over the sound of the sizzling bacon.
I didn't bother to look back at her but I replied back with a "morning Rach" and continued cooking. Once I was finished with the entire pack of bacon, I grabbed a piece for me and one for Rachel to bring over to her in the living room where I heard the tv.
I started walking towards the living room, "I've got bacon! Woah." I dropped the food when I saw her sitting there on the couch. Sitting there so innocently, watching an old episode of CSI, in her new lingerie.
"Hey" she said casually, "oh, bacon!" she got up and walked over to me where I just stood with my mouth open, seemingly frozen in my tracks, bent down in front of me and grabbed both pieces off the floor. "Thanks Alex" she gave me a peck on the cheek and returned to her spot on the couch, eating her bacon.
"Damn" I said under my breath, and before I knew it I was speed-walking over to her on the couch and jumping right on top of her, "living with you was the best decision I've ever made" I said kissing her neck all over.
She finally broke the innocent girl act and gave into my kisses, "hey, you know we're not the only ones in here this morning so no couch sex" she said to me.
"I dont even care. You know, I've been imagining you in this ever since I bought it so I'm just gonna take this all in. You look hot as hell babe."
I honestly would have bet anything that if the guys weren't here this morning that we would've had crazy couch sex, but it was just an extremely heated make out session. I felt myself get a hard on when we laid down, myself on top of her, and she began to wrap her legs around mine.
"Easy now" she broke apart for a second to let me know that she felt my little friend down there.
"Crazy couch sex? Please? I'll keep the guys and the dogs upstairs. Please" I was getting really bothered that I had an erection and we wouldn't be doing anything to solve my problem.
"Maybe later, hun. I just wanted to show you that I liked the present you got me" she said and I got even more bothered when she started shifting underneath me, "i'm gonna go put on some clothes" she tried to get up, but I held her down, now even more pissed than before.
"No" I growled at her "you stay." I've never been the extreme dominant type, but this was driving me insane.
If I didn't know any better, I;d say Rachel was kind of turned on by this because she lay back down and asked "and what do you want me to do if I stay?"

Rachel's POV
Best 'almost' couch sex ever. Yeah, lets call it that.
We let the dogs go play around in the backyard because I couldn't have them watching. I knew that Alex and I couldn't actually have sex right now seeing as the guys could wake up and come down at any point, so we made a compromise. Our compromise? I do him a favor if he does me a favor...I handle his problem if he handles mine. I gotta admit it was a bit of a turn on when Alex was all hot and bothered and demanded me to stay, as well as when he would cover my mouth when I would moan.
Living with him really was the best decision.
We were both in our bedroom grabbing new clothes, expecting the guys to wake up soon. I couldn't help but smile to myself while I watched Alex undress. I saw him slowly remove his white shirt and stand there in his boxers. I hadn't noticed that I was biting my lip and looking him up and down.
"What? You want more of this?" he said moving his hand up and down his stomach. He was in good shape and had a nice midsection, it was hard not to look. (A/N: Let us appreciate Alex Gaskarth's shirtless pictures)
"Someone alert the media, I think I'm the luckiest girl in Baltimore" I said sliding over on my knees on the bed over to his side. I was at the perfect height so our faces were right in front of each other, and I placed my hands around his neck, "and I think I've got the hottest boyfriend in Baltimore."
"Oh god, again?!" Zack and Jack appeared in our doorway as soon as Alex started kissing me.
I shook my head at them.
"Damn Rach, once again, nice" Jack said looking at me before they left to go downstairs.
Rian then appeared in our doorway "sorry guys, I tried to hold them back. By the way Rach, nice" he said noticeably looking at my body.
"Why do your friends love my body so much?" I shook my head and asked Alex.
He lifted me off the bed and stood me up beside him, "they're your friends too. But don't worry about it, its only them and I don't think they've seen lady parts in a while. They're just excited about it" he winked at me then threw me one of his sweaters to put on.
I threw it on and went to grab some clean pants.
"Hey Rach. Can I ask you something?" Alex said while he walked over to the bathroom.
"Okay, what is it?"
"What would you say if I asked you to meet my parents soon? Both them and myself think that it's about time" I heard him gargling some mouth wash in his mouth after he asked.
I still had nerves meeting boyfriends' parents, but I felt really good about Alex and I, so I confidently replied with a yes.
He spat out the mouth wash and when I entered the bathroom with him, he handed the bottle over to me, "awesome. My mom's been asking about you. They'll be so excited to meet you."
I gave him a thumbs up as I gargled the mouth wash in my mouth.
"You're the best, babe" he kissed the side of my head and left to go downstairs.
It's okay. He said they'll be excited. Don't fuck this up, Rachel.
