The bathroom door opens, but on the other side is a bar. This is impossible, of course, but there it is. Through that door step two people, a stunning blonde woman and a not-so-stunning man in his mid-30s. The door closes, and the couple find thmeselves in a large, recently painted, and empty room.

"Welcome to Bristol, my apartment, and the master bedroom." Alex beams.

"You sound like Guppy did when I first got to the Bar. I'll be good, Nurse Rapunzel." He smirks at here, even while nearly repressing certain thoughts about her dressed as a nurse. "And I think that it would be fun to cook with you."

He places the bottle in the sink and very carefully begins to loosen the cork. (He hasn't done this often, but he's not all thumbs with it either.)

"I don't know who Guppy is, but he sounds very smart."

She watches as he carefully opens the bottle, approvingly.

"We'll have to make a list of things you like or don't like and make up a menu. Before you know it, you'll be living like a successful writer, instead of a bachelor."

"Dr. Guppy, in the Bar - I forget his last name - and Guppy is short for something Indian. Nice guy. He gave me a free check-up when I first found the door." Amazingly, not a drop of the bubbly bubbles over, and Alex smiles in triumph.

"Are you saying there's something wrong with living like a bachelor," he asks teasingly.

[longlonghair]

"Not at all...if you're in your twenties with no career to speak of."

She beams at his success in getting the bottle open, and picks up the flutes so he can fill them.

"Like it or not, my dear, you are a grown-up now."

He pours the champagne, and only a little flows out of the cups.

"Yeah. I know. When the hell did that happen?" He's still smiling, but at some level, he really doesn't know how that happened. "Guess there's no going back, though, is there?"

"Aw...poor Alex. Being a grown up is fun, too. You'll see."

She raises her 'glass' to him with a smile.

"May you live as long as you want, but never want as long as you live."

He "Clinks" her glass, , and takes a sip. "I like that." He raises his glass anew.

"Here's to new apartments, new furniture, new adventures, and new friends."

[longlonghair]

"Now that is worth drinking to."

She sips again, then kisses him soundly.

"Congratulations, Alex."

[gotham-knocking.livejournal.com]

He returns the kiss with some passion. "Thanks."

"What shall we tackle first?" she asks, slightly breathless.

There is a lot to do, but they have to start somewhere.

"The bedroom. Definitely the bedroom." He is most assuredly inspired. "That should always be the first thing in any home, right?"

[longlonghair]

"Absolutely. The sooner we get a bed in here, the sooner we can break it in. I don't know the stores around here, I'm afraid, so you'll have to pick one, then I'll intimidate them into delivering it today.'

This is going to be fun!

He laughs long and loud, and then gives her another joyous kiss.

"Lady, I like the way you think!"

Fun indeed!!
