Emma Frost has posed:
This has been a good week for Emma Frost. Work is going well. There is a potential new addition to the Club the board is discussing. And with things winding down, she can make plans to actually use some of the vacation time she typically ignores.

She steps into her apartment from work, shrugging out of her blazer and tossing a pair of first class airline tickets for Friday evening on the counter. She moves into her bedroom, pulling off her shoes and adding her work clothes to the pile to be dry cleaned. She rifles through her dresser for something to change into for the evening, settling on a light weight tank top and flannel pajama bottoms. She flips through her phone idly. So many plans to make and so little time!

Alex Summers has posed:
    The door unlocks with a click outside as someone uses the card, before it opens slightly, Alex's voice calling from up front. "Emma, are you decent? If not, I'm definitely coming in!"

Emma Frost has posed:
A laugh bubbles up as she hears Alex at the front door. "I am, but I can change that," she replies merrily, stepping out of the bedroom. "Is it turned in?" she asks, eyes sparkling-- and not just plucking the answer from his mind.

Alex Summers has posed:
    Alex grins. "It is. Officially submitted with all the permission slips and approvals signed and ready to go." he says, shutting the door behind him and walking over to slide his arms around Emma's waist. "I am totally free. At least in the short term..." he says, giving her a peck on the lips.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma throws her arms around his neck, returning his peck with a slightly more substantial kiss. "So what I'm hearing is a week in Aruba is a go?" she asks coyly. "I'm torn between two different condos."

Alex Summers has posed:
    "That iiiiis a go, yup." Alex says cheerfully, giving her a squeeze. "Did you get the tickets straightened out Hotel and such? I mean, you have Alexis to get that stuff done for you now, right?"

Emma Frost has posed:
"Mm. Tickets, check. New swimsuit should be here tomorrow, check." Emma grins wickedly. "Yes, but I've been taking a more personal interest instead of having someone else handle it. I want everything to be perfect." She steals a quick kiss before sliding out of his arms. "I'll order something to be brought down from the Victorian for dinner," she says, snagging a tablet off her countertop and turning it on. "As for accommodations..." she turns the tablet towards him, showing off pictures of one of the options. "This one has a jacuzzi tub, but the other," she flips to that one, "is right off the beach."

Alex Summers has posed:
    Alex mmms and walks over to take a look. "Oh wow, that's beautiful..." he says admiringly. "Man, that beach alone is worth the trip. Look at how clear that water is..." He mmms. "We could try doing some snorkeling or stuff....don't think we have time to get scuba certified..."

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma pulls out her phone, texting. "No. But next time. Besides, that makes me think of some of the archaeological and geological things I had looked at before settling on something less taxing... there are some caves you have to have scuba skills... advanced ones... to dive. But I think youd love it." A few more taps. "Steak good? How do you want it cooked?" she asks idly.

Alex Summers has posed:
    "Yeah, cave diving is pretty dangerous, so they require the advanced stuff. More than just going twenty meters down over a coral reef or sunken ship or something." Alex says thoughfully. "Mm, steak...medium, please, pink in the middle and a bit juicy. Could go for some scalloped potatoes of they have it too." he says thoughfully.

Emma Frost has posed:
A few more taps. "Mm. Ooh, I'm having dessert sent down too. Raspberry and chocolate parfait." She hmms. "Salad, scalloped potatoes, roasted carrots, asparagus." She looks thoughtful. "And a bottle of wine," she adds. "Celebratory. You are done!" She sends what shes been typing.

"We will have to try that eventually. Cave diving. But for now I'm just content with a week away from everything."

Alex Summers has posed:
    "Me too. Being able to relax on the beach and wake up when we feel like it seems plenty relaxing for now. Got anything in particular you've wante dto do like that? Parasailing, jet skis, whale watching, hiking, whatever?"

Emma Frost has posed:
"We can try anything that seems fun," Emma replies with a grin. "I hadn't put too much thought in it. I'm just thrilled to not have to deal with work, and to wake up and fall asleep beside you for a week." She gives him a playful look. "And wear new bathing suits and have an excuse to buy clothing specifically for this sort of trip."

Alex Summers has posed:
    "Heh, that works for a start, definitely. There's a casino not too far away too we could try our luck at if we're in the mood. I guess when we get there we can check out the pamphlets when we get there, huh?"

Emma Frost has posed:
"Mm." Emma sits on one of the stools. "Are you going to need anything for the trip? I know its last minute but that just means less of a chance of being delayed," she shakes her head. "Hopefully your brother doesn't think I'm taking you away and never bringing you back," she teases. Alex's older brother was amusingly paranoid to her. "We will have more time to plan another later."

Alex Summers has posed:
    "Frankly, not caring a lot about what Scott thinks about me taking a vacation with my girlfriend." Alex says dryly. "I'm sure he can manage while I'm gone. And I'm pretty well stocked I think. Clothes, tolietries, and I'm good. Maybe I"ll buy some terrible Hawaiian shirts to embarrass you with there." he teases.

Emma Frost has posed:
"THAT is why he needs to worry," Emma teases back. "I might have to disappear you for awful fashion sense." She lets out a contented sigh. "I'm so excited about this, Alex." The other great thing about it being last minute was there was less of a chance of Winston hearing about it until she was already in the air with her phone off.

Alex Summers has posed:
    "Bah, you're more likely to buy me a new wardrobe or something so we match." he teases right back, nuzzling the top of her head as she snuggles into her from behind. "We're still heading separately to the airport, just to make sure your dad doesn't notice?"

Emma Frost has posed:
"Mmhmm." Emma gestures to the tickets on the counter. "You can grab yours if you like. But yeah. We will meet there and then disappear for a week. I plan on leaving my phone off once we get in the air." She shrugs. "No distractions, no emails."

Alex Summers has posed:
    "Mm, welll..." Alex says, frowning thoughfully. "Just in case...do you wanna come up with a safe word or something, in case your dad does try to fuck with you leaving? So I know what's up. And can come with a ladder or something to get you out of the tower to escape?"

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma laughs. "He can't stop me. He can just rage some. I'm overdue for vacation and the rest of the C suite agrees I need the week. For right now, that I'm going with you or anyone hasn't even come up." She shrugs. "Hopefully it will stay that way. He may be unhappy when I get back, but at that point there isnt much beyond reminding me how disappointed he is in me he can actually do." She sighs. "He wouldn't disown me unless something permanent happens I think."

Alex Summers has posed:
    Alex inhales a bit, then nods. "I just worry some, about him being able to get you alone or such." he admits. "I mean, I'm fairly sure I could talk Jean and maybe Scott into breaking you out if he did lock you up somewhere..." He rubs Emma's back gently. "I guess I should take one of the tickets then, so he can't catch you with two, but yeah, other than that, I guess it's just paranoia."

Emma Frost has posed:
"As long as we don't elope," Emma says dryly, "we should be fine. Shaw removed father's security access to the Club-- hes retired now and doesnt need it." She leans back against him. "So he absolutely has no power here now."

Alex Summers has posed:
    Alex mms. "Okay..." he says, slightly, reaching up to run his fingers over her hair lightly. "That does make me feel a bit better." he admits, then kisses her forehead. "So...we can just relax finally." He sighs. "Man, I know it's been a bit for me, I can't imagine what it's been like not taking a break since grade school..."

Emma Frost has posed:
"Busy," Emma jokes, though her tone is slightly flat. "But yes. We can relax, swim, snorkel, eat, drink..." she shrugs lightly.

Alex Summers has posed:
    "We'll figure it out." Alex asay, more soothingly. "We can do whatever, as long as we relax. We can do nothing but hang out in a beach house and cuddle, for tha tmatter."
