The room was silent. The only light, that of the moon casting it's beams through the uncovered windows. They laid in bed, Jack on his back and Alexis draped across his chest. His fingers played with her curls as her foot ran up and down his shin.

"You still drunk?" he whispered against the top of her head.

Alexis giggled. "No, but maybe a little tipsy still."

"What she said wasn't true you know."

Alexis lifted her head and looked at Jack.

"Will you remember this? It's important."

Alexis smiled. "I'm not drunk." Her smile faded at his serious expression. "I'll remember."

"I want you to know, you are nobody someone would settle for."

"Oh Jack, don't worry. Her words didn't hurt me." They so did. More than they should have.

"Don't lie to me, Alexis." His hand cupped her face, and his thumb moved across the crest of her cheek. His stare was intense as he devoured her features. "You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen."

"I'm glad you think so." She kept her tone as serious as his. "You're pretty spectacular, yourself." She reached up a traced his jaw. She loved the feel of his rough whiskers against the pads of her fingers.

He traced her eyebrow with his fingertip. "When I look at you. When I see you. I wonder how I can ever live up to all that is you. I don't deserve you, Alexis."

"Jack, you—"

Jack brought a finger to her lips. "Shh. I don't want to hear any more lies tonight."

He replaced his finger with his lips. She felt the desperateness behind the kiss. His need.

He rolled her onto her back, broke the kiss, and leaned his forehead against hers. "I want to be consumed by you. Take your beauty and wrap it around myself, so I become a better man. The man you deserve."

Alexis was silent for a moment, collecting her thoughts. She didn't know why he felt this way. To her, he was perfect the way he was. "I don't understand. Why would you want to change? I love you just the way you are. I wouldn't change one thing about you."

"You're good, sweet and gentle." Jack ran the tip of his nose along the line of her jaw. He stopped when he reached her ear and whispered, "Adjectives I would not use to describe myself."

Alexis furrowed her brow. "But, you are good. You're always doing things for me and taking care of me. And sweet, You say the sweetest things to me, making me feel special. And, you're always gentle with me whether it be with your words or your touch."

"I'm afraid the world doesn't see me the way you do, Alexis. Nor do I."

"You are my world, Jack. And that's how I see you. I don't care what anyone else thinks."

"But you do care. Or you should."

"I don't. And no, I shouldn't. And neither should you. You should only care how I feel about you.
