Thanks for the reviews and all those who are following! Much love! xx.

It was the day after Alex's date with Ashley and she was on his mind all night long. Alex had a reputation of being a player; getting one girl one weekend and dumping her the next. But with Ashley? She didn't even give him the chance! He couldn't believe it.

Alex grabbed his bag and took a taxi to the airport. NXT and Smackdown was going to be in Philadelphia this week. He plugged his headphones into his ears and dozed off on the flight to PA. Once he landed, he took a taxi over to the hotel most of the other superstars were staying at.

He walked into the hotel lobby to see some of the medical staff, but no sight of Ashley at all. He sighed in disappointment and checked in at the hotel. Room 337, he said to himself. Today was a Sunday, which means after Raw, Mike (Miz) will be joining him. Until then, he was all alone.

While Alex was in PA, Ashley was in Florida, finishing packing. She was going to be on the road for a bit so she made sure she had everything she needed. She went through her jewelry box and at the bottom she found an old bracelet. She held the bracelet in her hand and thought of the man who gave it to her, her ex boyfriend. His name is David and they dated from freshman year of college until she was 26. He broke her heart by cheating on her, with her then best friend.

She sighed and threw the bracelet back in her jewelry box. She's had a tough time trusting men ever since their breakup. She grabbed her bags and had her roommate, Sarah, drive her to the airport.

"So, how was last night?" Sarah asked, backing out of the driveway.

Ashley smiled faintly. "It was so much fun! I haven't felt like that since…" She stopped in the middle of her sentence. She didn't want to think about Dave, but that was the last time she felt like that.

"I'm glad you had fun. Maybe you'll be able to spend more time with him on the road!"

"Maybe.." She bit her lip; she was still in denial that she had feelings for Alex.

The two soon arrived at the airport. Ashley hugged her best friend good bye. "Be safe! And don't forget to call!" Sarah said.

"I will! I love you!" Ashley said walking into the airport.

Alex was relaxing in his bed when he heard a loud knock at his door. He dragged himself out of bed to find Mike and Maryse. "What are you guys doing here?" The Raw superstars had a show in Jersey tomorrow night.

"We heard about your head! Are you alright?" Maryse asked with her thick French accent.

"Yeah, I'm okay." Alex grabbed the back of his head and started to smile. Even though his injury brought him pain, it also brought him Ashley.

"Dude, are you sure you're okay?" Mike asked, "You're smiling because of it!"

"It's nothing."

"Come on, Alex!" Maryse said, tugging on his arm. "You have to tell!"

"Is it a girl?" Mike asked. Alex smiled and looked down. "I knew it! Who?"

"I'll introduce you guys to her after the NXT taping."

Maryse nodded. "Well, let's hit the bar!" Mike said.

Alex got dressed and headed out with Mike and Maryse. The three sat at the bar, talking, ordering drinks, until Mike and Maryse decided to go dancing. Alex sat at the bar alone, until a blonde girl came up to him.

"Hey. This seat taken?" The Philadelphia native asked.

"It's all you." Alex said, chugging the best of his beer.

"I'm Erin."

"Alex."

"So, you from around here?"

"Nah, I live down in Tampa." Alex said, before ordering another beer.

"That must be nice. I've lived here all my life." Alex nodded. Erin could feel he wasn't really interested, but she knew he was too attractive to pass up. "Wanna dance?"

"Sure." Alex left his beer on the table as he walked over to the dance floor with Erin.

Erin was dancing hard on the dancefloor, while Alex was hardly dancing. He moved his feet a little to the right and then a little to the left. Ashley was all he could think about. "You okay?" Erin asked, continuing to dance.

"Uh..yeah." Alex nodded his head.

"I know how to make things more interesting." Erin whispered, as she began kissing Alex's neck.

At first Alex liked it; Erin dragged him to the corner so they could continue on. Alex started to kiss her back, but he soon backed away.

"What?" Erin asked with a frown on her face.

Alex ran his hand through his hair. "I can't. I just can't." He ran off to find Mike and Maryse, leaving Erin up against the wall alone. He searched the whole dance floor, but couldn't find the two anywhere. He spotted them at the bar and grabbed Mike's arm. "I gotta go." He ran off, without saying another word. Mike called his name, but he didn't turn back.

He grabbed a cab back to the hotel and stormed into the lobby. He took the elevator up to his floor, where he bumped into, who other than Ashley.

"Ash!" Alex's face lit up with excitement.

"Oh, hey Alex!" The butterflies were back.

"Did you just get here?"

"Yeah, I was just going to get some coffee." She pulled her hair back behind her ear. "Do you…do you wanna join?"

Alex smiled. "Of course."

They walked into the elevator together and out to Ashley's rental car. She turned on the radio, so they car ride wouldn't be silent if they didn't talk, but they did.

"So, how was your flight over?" Alex asked.

"It was good."

Silence again. Alex was usually so talkative and obnoxious, he just had to relax and he'd be fine. They reached Starbucks in about five minutes. Alex held the door open for Ashley. Once they ordered their drinks, they sat down. Alex started up some small talk again, about Ashley's new job and such, but the key word is small talk; the conversation soon ended.

"If you don't mind me asking." Ashley started. "What ever happened between you and the varsity vixen?" She was used to calling wrestlers by their fake names. She was asking, just to see if Alex was a good guy, one who wouldn't hurt her by cheating.

Alex chuckled. "Well, me and Melanie were together since 2007. We were so in love, it was ridiculous. We would always do everything together. Then when I started traveling city to city for NXT, she got lonely. She said couldn't stand the person who loves being so far away from her all the time, so she broke up with me."

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Ashley thought for sure that Alex broke up with her.

"It's cool. It was for the best." Alex got up and threw his drink away. Ashley followed him and got into the car. "Two is Better Than One" came on the radio. Ashley began singing to the tune. Alex turned to look at her.

"Okay, so I'm not Taylor Swift." Ashley said, giggling.

"No. It sounds good. This is like the only song by Boys Like Girls that I actually like."

"Yeah, it's a beautiful song." Ashley smiled and continued driving.

Alex gave a faint smile. Listening to the lyrics, he realized how much this song related to his feelings for Ashley. He wondered if she felt the same way.

They reached the floor at the hotel they both were staying at. Ashley had to go left, while Alex was going right.

"Call me." Ashley said, after hugging Alex goodbye.

Alex smiled and walked back to his room. He opened the door to see a concerned Mike.

"Mike. What are you doing here?" Alex said, throwing his jacket on his bed.

"You just left the bar! Where'd you go?" Mike asked, with his arms crossed.

"Remember that girl I was telling you about?"

Mike smiled. "As long as you're good, man."

"I'm more than good." Alex smiled.

BLAH BLAH BLAH. This was an okay chapter. We will see what the future holds for ALEX and ASHLEY.
