Alex had not even realized what he had said until Hope had commented on his current partner.  Alex didn’t have a current partner and hadn’t in a long time.  “Well the person I am around a lot, as long as it smells good on them.”  Alex hoped he covered his slip up.  He didn’t want Hope to think that they were partners, even if they did sleep in the same bed.  If Alex were to be honest with himself he was just denying the inevitable.<br/><br/>Alex finished putting his clothes on and looked over at Hope when he complimented him he could not help but blush a little.  He was trying not to let anything show, but he was finding it hard to show his true self around Hope.  There was just something about Hope that gave Alex a sense of calm and made things better.  “Really Hope it truly is nothing for me to help you.”  Alex said as he walked out of the closet.  “Honestly they can hold it down at the office and I always have my phone on me.”<br/><br/>To be honest Alex was looking forward to learn a little more about Hope and see what else the man needs in his life, hoping Alex can fill that space for him.  Alex still once in awhile wondered why no one else in this city wanted to help the young man and why he was compelled to help him.<br/><br/>Alex was about to say something when he found himself pushed up against a wall being kissed.  Alex did not know what possessed him, but he found himself returning the kiss and then finally pushed him away a little breathing a little heavily.  Alex was about to say something until Jamie came in to let them know that Nurse Jones was there for them.  Alex had almost forgotten about his two hour treatment, but that was going to give him time to make arrangements for everything that they needed to do.   “Well I think your pants are a little more fancier than mine, but lets go.”<br/><br/>Alex led them to his office where he had the machine was set up so he could talk to Hope while he did business so Hope did not fill so lonely for a couple of hours.
