five times kissed !!
ONE. the first time the two shared a kiss was at the winters ball, and eliza had never been kissed before that. she didn’t realize what it was like to have the sparks, but GOD—- did she ever wish to know. alexander had totally forgotten about angelica for the night, as eliza was now in his view. he found her to be smart, kind, and beauty ( and of course a schuyler sister ). he wanted to make a move on her, but he didn’t know how to do it without it being too quick, even though he married her after two weeks. he then took her out to the garden, to where he just told her how beautiful she was, and he was speaking everything that he has ever written to her in that one night in his words. eliza was the one to kiss him, which caught him off guard, but they BOTH felt the sparks.
TWO. of course, their wedding day was another time; they had to kiss. her heart pounding as she walked down the isle, and her ears were ringing with fear, the fear that she was going to mess up. she didn’t realize that alexander had been writing and rewriting his vows for so long, and he couldn’t help but PRAY that his words would come out just right. of course she cried, it was the best thing that alexander had ever written ( he says otherwise, but anyone who was at the wedding agrees that it was his best ). even before the officiator finished his sentence, alexander had already kissed her, and it was like that night at the garden all over again.
THREE. the night that he came home from the war. it wasn’t the first time after george had told him to leave. she still kissed him with such PASSION then, but it was when he came home after his last battle, after philip was born. he could have died twice, and eliza didn’t want to live with herself knowing that she was so close to having him with his son. she was in the middle of returning a letter to him, tears staining the papers with fear when she heard their front door open, and she knew that it was alexander. she sobbed into his arms before finally she kissed him, and there was so much passion that he almost fell from how WEAK his knees were from the kiss. then her water broke.
FOUR. rain poured down hard and lightning and the trees practically BANGED on the windows of alexander’s office. too much had happened in one night; the storm, his oldest daughter falling ill, and he had awoken from a nightmare. he couldn’t remember what it was about, but he knew that the rain wasn’t there when he fell asleep. that was the first time that he had tried to sleep with eliza again, and she had already been awake, not being able to sleep herself. there was so much fear and regret written on her husbands features, that her heart sank into her stomach—- he looked so PATHETIC. when he crawled into bed with her, she kissed him, something to just relax him. it worked of course, but it did more than that. it signified that their relationship was going to be okay, which meant that alexander would be okay.
FIVE. eliza was sound asleep, and alexander was getting ready to go duel with burr. he knew that this could probably be the last time that he would ever see his wife, and he feared that so much. he wanted to wake her, but he couldn’t tell her what he was doing, she would have a PANIC ATTACK. so he watched her for a minute, taking in her features like it was the first time he had seen her. she has aged, but so has he. the only difference was that eliza still managed to take his BREATH away. he thought about what he had done to her, and how lucky he was to have a woman like her still in his life. his hands shook as he reached over to brush some hair out of her eyes, knowing that she was a heavy sleeper. he leaned down and placed a small kiss on her lips, almost SOBBING at the knowledge of what could happen to him. he loved her, and it took _eight _kids, a three year affair, to flock after her sister, to be in love with his best friend, and the death of his eldest son to realize how much she meant. that was when he shut the door.
