Alex could not help but laugh at himself as he heard Hope comment about what he said.  Alex honestly didn’t think about what he said when he said it but he was actually surprised that Hope was had such a quick wit.  He was much smarter than people gave him credit for.  He just wished people would have given him the benefit of the doubt long ago and then maybe he would not have spent so much time on the street.  “You caught me.”  Alex said as he playfully lifted his hands in the air as to surrender.  “I only allow one scent and one scent only and if they don’t wear it they get fired.”  Alex said with a laugh.  “Actually I knew it smelled good on you.”  Alex turned away with that comment.<br/><br/>Alex was beginning to discover that Hope was getting very good at reading Alex and he hoped he didn’t get scared the more things he learned about Alex.  The one thing that Hope was wrong about was him getting something out of it.  He never thought about wanting anything from Hope, “I just want you to be happy, safe, and off the streets.  That’s all I am getting out of this.”<br/><br/>Alex never commented to Hope about how he looked in his pants as they headed to the office.  Alex could not help but agree that the pants did look good on him.  Alex shook his head at himself because he was not supposed to be looking at hope that way.  It seemed that Hope liked Alex, but Alex assumed it was just infatuation on Hope’s part because of everything that Alex was doing for him.  Alex was afraid to attach himself just to get his heart broken again, but he had a feeling that it was going to happen anyway.<br/><br/>Alex was actually trained on how to do IV’s so when the nurse told him what he needed to do when it was done he already knew.  She just needed to come to check on him and do vitals to make sure everything goes well.  When Hope asked him where he was going to smirk he could not help but smirk and walk over and grab another chair and wheeled it over next to Alex and sat down next to him.<br/><br/>Once he sat down he took a hold of Hope’s hand to help keep him calm as the medicine went thru his veins.  “I know I always hate that part, it should stop soon.”
