Alone At Last by Johanna Written in February, 2000 Alan and Monica have just moved in to their own penthouse that they bought after Alan's addiction, but instead of having more time for each other, they are extremely busy at the hospital and have hardly seen each other for the last 2 weeks It has been raining all day and Monica is feeling a bit down since she hasn't even seen Alan since yesterday evening when they for once managed to be home at the same time even if it was only for about 10 minutes. Lately their schedules seems to keep them separated and Monica was longing to spend some time alone with her husband. Monica is standing at the nurses station when Alan comes from the elevator, all wet from the rain outside. He doesn't see Monica at first and he mumbles to himself Alan: I can’t wait to get out of these wet clothes Monica gives him a very appreciative look Monica: Neither can I She stares at his wet chest and the shirt that clings to his chest like a second skin, with a playful smile. She sees her chance to be alone with him and she takes his hand and drags him towards her office Monica: Come on, I’ll help you get dry and to get you out of these clothes. Monica shuts the door, turns around and looks at him with a big smile. Alan looks a bit bewildered and pouts Alan: Well, good morning to you too. Couldn't you at least say "hi" before you see the chance to rip off my clothes Monica: (with a big happy smile) Hi Alan: What’s so funny? Why do you look so happy, it’s not fun being this wet you know Monica walks towards him Monica: Then we just have to do something about it….. Monica lowers her voice and whispers with a husky voice Monica: Oh Alan, Do you have any idea how sexy you look in a wet shirt? You are a walking temptation and I have missed you so much. What is a poor wife to do when she misses her husband desperately, she is not about to miss a chance to see his masculine chest She starts to unbutton his shirt Alan: Monica! What am I going to do with you, here I am almost freezing to death and all you can think about is sex Monica: Are you complaining? Alan: No, no not at all Monica: I didn’t think you would. He starts to smile sexily Alan: I had no idea I had that effect on you Monica: (caressing him with her eyes) You sure do She helps him to get out of the wet clothes, and starts to rub him with a towel Alan: Ummm, that feels good, God I have missed you so much Standing that close to his bare chest while rubbing him, starts to effect her and her hands are beginning to move slower and more seductively. Alan is enjoying his wifes attention and puts his hands around her waist and draws her closer. Monica caresses him and nuzzles his chest, she closes her eyes from pure enjoyment and mumbles tender words about how amazingly sexy he is while placing small lingering kisses on his chest. Monica: I adore you, my darling Alan groans Alan: Oh, Monica, this is not fair Monica: (breathlessly) What isn’t? Alan: You having that much clothes on while I’m half naked. Monica:(misunderstanding him) Are you cold? Do you want me to get you some dry clothes from your office? Alan laughs and draws her even closer to his body Alan: No, no that wasn’t what I meant, I meant that you should get out of your clothes too Monica: (blushes) Oh I see, silly me. Well in that case you’ll have to help me Alan: It will be my pleasure Monica: Are you sure you’re not cold anymore? Alan: Maybe just a little bit, but I’ll bet you know how to keep me warm Monica giggles and gives him a small teasing kiss while Alan slides his hands down her side Alan: You have way too much clothes on Monica: (in a breathless voice) Then do something about it then… He untucks her blouse and caresses her waist Alan: Ummmm you are so soft and silky and sexy Alan looks deep into her eyes and Monica can’t take her eyes from him, his eyes is getting darker with passion and Monica can hardly breathe when she sees the love and desire in his eyes. And as always whenever they were together she could feel that delicious familiar electricity sparkling between them Monica: Oh Alan, I love you so much She gives him a slow tender kiss and continues to kiss down his neck and down to his chest. She buries her face in his chest Monica: (mumbles) I love the way you smell, the way you feel and the way you touch me….Oh Alan, darling Alan: Oh Monica, I love you so much He kisses down her neck and Monica closes her eyes as she loses track of time and space and she can’t think of anything but the wonderful feeling of his warm lips. She vaguely hears the alarm clock on her desk and slowly she wakes up from the wonderful daze she is in. Monica: Alan! I totally forgot, we are supposed to be at the meeting in 10 minutes. Alan: ( while kissing her) Then we have to be quick. I’m sure they will understand that you have to take care of your poor wet husband so that he doesn’t get pneumonia. Monica: (giggles breathlessly) Alan, You were the one who called to a meeting, remember, we both have to be there Alan: (breathlessly) You see what you do to me, I forget everything but you. He continues to place passionate kisses down her neck and Monica is breathing hard Monica: Ohh Alan…….Ummm…. Alan, we really shouldn’t be doing this right now Alan: You where the one who started this, remember. Monica: (groans) I know, you were just so irresistible. Alan, we have to stop, we can’t……… Alan is kissing further down her neck Monica: Ohh… Darling…. Alan: You know, when a man is this excited it can be dangerous to stop. You don't want anything to happen to me, do you? Monica starts to laugh Monica: You are terrible. As a doctor I can assure you that it’s not dangerous, the only thing that would happen if we stopped now is that maybe you will feel a bit frustrated……..and so will I. While Monica is talking Alan manages to slip more of her clothes off and kisses her passionately to shut her up. Monica: (groans) Alan! What are you doing, haven’t you heard a word I was saying. Alan: I heard you, but you don’t really mean it, do you? Monica: I give up! Alan: Good, so shut up and kiss me Monica just shakes her head and giggles Monica: Oh, why can’t I resist you? Alan: Because, you know that if we don’t give in to our desire now I will not be able to keep my hands from you at the meeting, and it could be a bit embarrassing if we started making out in the middle of the meeting Monica: I didn’t think of that, you are so right, we don’t want that to happen…. Monica draws him close to her again. She caresses his bare chest slowly and seductively Monica: (teasingly) Now you are the one with too much clothes on. Alan: Oh, Monica They kissed and caressed each other for several minutes quickly building their passion to a boiling point. They both realized that they were quickly reaching the point where they couldn't stop themselves. When their mouths finally parted, Monica looked at Alan through half-lowered lashes. Her lips were kiss-swollen, and she felt slightly dazed by the intensity of their embrace as she breathlessly whispered Monica: Honey, we can’t keep doing this, if we intend to make it to the meeting. His eyes were dark with longing Alan: Darling, it’s not fair, do you realize how delectable you are? You drive me crazy. I love you Monica. Monica: And I love you, but we need to go. Breathing hard, they rested their foreheads against each other's with their eyes closed trying to calm down. She playfully teases him. Monica: Now you’ve messed my makeup, I’m going to have to take the time to fix it Alan: No, really, it’s fine, you look gorgeous. Just fix your lipstick, apparently it isn’t smudge proof. Monica: And do something about yours. From the look of things, it isn’t smudge proof either. Alan smiled and pulled out a handkerchief to wipe her lipstick from his mouth. Alan: You know what, I will try to arrange our schedules so we can have the evening and the whole night together and in the meantime we just have to grab every opportunity we get to be alone with each other. How does that sound? Monica: I like the way you think They quickly put their clothes back on before they changed their mind again Alan wraps his arm around her waist as they walk towards the door. Not being able to look at anything else but each other, they walk slowly savoring the last few moments alone. Monica: I love you Alan. Alan: I love you more! Alan kisses her again while opening the door. Monica’s hand starts traveling down his back towards his posterior, she gives it a little squeeze as his arm tightens around her. Alan: Monica! Monica: Sorry, I couldn't resist As they walk through the corridor to the staff meeting Alan explains to Monica that he had called for a meeting to introduce the new doctor that was going to work with them. Phil Chapman was an old friend of Alan and they had known each other since medical school. But since he used to work in Los Angeles they haven't had the chance to meet each other, other then when they were at the same medical conferences, and Alan was excited to finally be able to introduce Monica to him. As they are waiting for the new doctor to arrive Alan explains to the others about Dr. Chapman. As he is a bit late they all start to talk about different other things. Alan can't concentrate on what the others are talking about as his eyes keep drifting back to Monica as she absentmindly plays with a lock of hair. His brown eyes captured hers with a flirtatious gleam and with a slight smile on her face she gazed longingly at him. Not realizing that they’d gotten totally lost in each others eyes, Monica doesn't hear Audrey at first as she asks her a question Audrey: Monica Monica tears her eyes away from Alan Monica: Sorry, what did you say Audrey smiles a little as she saw the looks Alan and Monica were giving each other Audrey: I was just wondering if you lost your earring? Monica touches her ear Monica: Oh, yes I must have. I didn't notice that it was gone Alan hears them and reach down his pocket and hands it over to Monica with an innocent look Alan: I almost forgot, I found it just before when we left your office. You must have lost it when we were……hrmmm… when…. I mean… when we where… talking earlier Monica gets a bright red look on her face as she puts the earring back on Monica: Thank you, Alan Suddenly Monica's beeper goes off and she has to go to an emergency and a few minutes later Dr Chapman arrives and Alan introduces him to everyone. Alan shows Phil Chapman around the hospital and as they walk towards the nurses station Alan sees Monica. He winks at her and she smiles flirtingly at him but before he can introduce Phil to her she gets paged again and has to rush off.. For the next couple of hours Alan and Monica only manage to catch short glimpses of each other. Phil can't help but notice the way they look at each other and when he sees Alan winking at Monica as she passes them he says Phil: Who is that? She sure is beautiful. I think that girl has a crush on you Alan: You mean Monica? Alan realizes that Phil doesn't know who she is and decides to play along Alan: Do you really think so? Phil: Come on Alan, I’ve seen the way she looks at you. When a beautiful woman looks at you like that you should do something about it Alan just smiles Alan: Well, maybe I will Later in the afternoon Monica sees Alan alone in the elevator and just as the doors shuts, Monica comes rushing in Monica: Well, well, well, what did I find here, a sexy and very handsome doctor. Have I ever told you that tall dark doctors in white coats turns me on. Alan: (in an jealous tone) Not all dark, tall doctors I hope Monica: Not a chance, just one special doctor called Alan Quartermaine She slowly comes closer to him while looking seductively at his lips. She leaned her face towards his and kissed him softly, lovingly. Then she backed away, waiting for a reaction. Alan's eyes gets dark with passion, he caresses her face and mumbles Alan: Mmmm, I also get very turned on by small, blonde, bombshells in white coats. Monica caresses his hand against her face and then turns to kiss the palm of his hand Monica: I would give anything for the elevator to stop right now so we could have a few minutes alone Alan just smiles and hits the emergency button and the elevator stops Alan: There you see, I just had to push the right buttons Monica looked at him, smiling like a little devil. Monica: How do you feel about pushing some of my buttons? Alan: That will be my pleasure His smile widened as he pulled her closer to him Monica: Kiss me, Alan They kiss slowly and delightfully enjoying to be in each others arms again. She tilted her head to one side and closed her eyes as he began to gently kiss her neck. His touch became more amorous, and she wrapped an arm around his head, tousling his hair with her fingers. Alan: (with a soft voice) You are so lovely Monica: Ohhh, you know what it does to me when you do that! Oh god, it feels so good Alan: I can't wait to have you to myself tonight As they continue kissing they lean against the elevator button and the elevator starts again When the doors open they are in a deep kiss and doesn't notice that they are on the wrong floor at first. They giggle and push the button again to get to the right floor. As the doors closes again Alan reaches for her to give her one last kiss Monica: (laughing) If we continue like this, we will never get out of the elevator Alan: Sounds fine to me. At least it's private and I will have your undivided attention They adjust their clothes, the doors open and they walk out and trying to look like nothing special happened, but there flushed faces was giving them away. That evening Alan arrives home before Monica. He asks Amy to phone him when Monica is leaving the hospital. Alan hears the doorbell and when he opens the door, Phil Chapman is there. He is there to sign some papers and when Amy calls Alan he excuses himself for a moment and runs upstairs to prepare a bath for her, filled with bubbles and rose petals, and with candles, champagne, toast and a note saying: Welcome home my darling, enjoy your bath and I will join you as soon as I can. Monica comes home and doesn't see Phil at first. She comes into the living room Monica: Hi gorgeous! Alone at last……….Oops, Oh I'm sorry Phil is very surprised to see Monica there Alan: Darling, may I introduce Dr Phil Chapman And this is my wife Dr.Monica Quartermaine Monica: Hi Phil: Hi Monica: If you will excuse me I’ll leave you two alone. I’m exhausted, I feel like I haven't slept in a week Alan kisses her on the cheek and whispers: -There is a surprise for you in the bathroom Monica caresses his cheek. She looks deep in his eyes and for a moment she totally forgets that they are not alone. Monica: (whispers softly) Oh Darling, you are so sweet When she leaves Phil turns around to Alan with a smile Phil: Alan why didn't you tell me you were married to this beautiful woman. Alan: I had too much fun hearing you raving about how we had the "hots" for each other and that I should hit on her. Alan can’t help but imagining Monica in the bath and Phil sees that Alan can't concentrate so he leaves after a short while. Alan hurries to their bedroom and quickly undresses. He opens the door to the bathroom and gazes at her. Monica is laying in the jacuzzi with her eyes closed and with a small smile on her lips as she heard Alan open the door and Monica slowly opens her eyes and lazily smiles at him Monica: Why don't you join me, this is absolutely heavenly. I have been longing for a hot long bath the whole day. Alan: (disappointed) And I thought you had longed for a hot long night with me. Monica: (giggles) That too, come here sweetie Alan gets into the bath and starts to slowly massage her shoulders. She sighs as he finishes and pulls her back against his chest and puts his arms tight around her They relax together and enjoys the rest of the champagne and toast They get up and gets dry and slowly kisses each other. They crawl into bed and continues kissing. They are both so exhausted they fall asleep almost immediately in each others tight embrace. The next morning: Monica is draped across Alan's chest with her legs entangled with his and her arms around him in a tight embrace. The phone rings. Not wanting to get out of Monica's embrace he tries to reach the phone without changing his position Alan: Hello Phil: Alan, it's Phil Alan: Oh, hi Monica wakes up and starts to sleepily nuzzle his neck. Phil: I only called to tell you that you and Monica doesn't need to come in today. I have arranged for you to be free today. While Phil is talking, Monica cuddles even closer to Alan and when she hears what Phil says she playfully nibbles his ear Alan puts his hand over the phone and whispers Alan: Monica! Could you be a nice girl for just about 2 minutes more Phil hears Monica giggle in the background and shakes his head with a smile Alan tries to compose himself Alan: Oh, why is that? Phil: Since you helped me so much in getting this job, it's the least I can do. Besides the way you two kept looking at each other yesterday, it seemed like you needed to spend some time alone together. Alan: Thank you so much. You will never know how grateful we are. Bye Phil: Bye Alan hangs up. He turns around to Monica and playfully pushes her back to the pillows and moves his body seductively against hers Alan: Now, where were we? Monica: Right here, my darling Monica pulls him closer and catches his lips with hers and with a satisfied sigh she shows him exactly where they were.
