The next week flew by pretty fast for Alexa; Alex respected Alexa's wishes and stayed away. He didn't call or text her at all during the week. Mike, on the other hand, had been texting Alexa constantly wanting to know how she was doing, how her vacation was going, and more importantly if she had made any decisions on what she was going to do.

The truth was, she had decided to give her and Alex one more shot. She didn't have the courage to confess that to Mike though so avoiding him was the best thing she could do right now. Alex was supposed to be walking through that door within the next hour; the two would spend the next four days at home together and then head back on the road; with Mike. Four days, that's all Alexa had to come up with a way to tell Mike her decision. Alexa's thoughts were interrupted when she heard her front door open and close. Alexa slowly stood up from the couch as Alex entered the living room, placing his bags by the wall. The two stood there, staring at each other for what seemed like hours, they both missed each other and wanted nothing more than to hold the other and never let go but neither knew how the other would react. Finally they both started moving toward each other and before they knew if they were embraced in a hug, holding on to each other for dear life.

"I'm so sorry," Alex whispered.

"Me too," Alexa said, hoping the apology would take away her guilt from sleeping with Mike.

The two broke the hug and Alex gently kissed Alexa, the kiss made Alexa remember why she had fallen in love with Alex. The kiss was filled with love, passion, and lust; the kiss reminded her of Mike. Alexa's eyes shot open and she took a second to remember it was Alex she was kissing, not Mike. Alex began to deepen the kiss and before Alexa knew in she was on the couch with Alex on top of her, the two undressing each other.

Hours later Alexa and Alex lay on the living room floor wrapped in a blanket that had been on the couch. Both were smiling, their worlds were complete again; they had each other back.

The next few days came and went and before either one knew it they were on plane to Arizona for RAW and a house show at the U.S. airways arena. They would also be meeting up with Alex's best friend and the man Alexa had been avoiding for the past eleven days. As the plane landed the butterflies in Alexa's stomach started working overtime, it was eight o' clock and there was no time to check in the hotel so Alex and Alexa were driving a rental straight to the arena. Upon arrival Alex and Alexa dropped their things off in Alex's locker room before Alex had to make his way to Stephanie's office to get his script and go over the plans for tonight. Alexa became bored while sitting in the locker room and decided to go wander around for a bit. The second Alexa stepped foot out of the locker room she spotted Mike down the hall. Alexa wanted to turn and go back into the locker room but it was too late, he had spotted her and he was making his way down to her. Saying nothing he took her hand and led her to one of the unused locker rooms, locking the door behind them.

"I've been texting you all week," he said.

"I know," Alexa answered.

"Why are you ignoring me? Did I do something wrong?"

Alexa sighed, "You did nothing wrong."

"Then why couldn't you answer me?"

Alexa took a deep breath, "Alex and me worked things out."

"So you two are okay now?" Alexa shook her head to answer Mike question. Getting an answer he asked another question, "So that's it for us?"

"There wasn't really an 'us' to begin with," Alexa said. "It was just sex," she said, trying to convince herself.

"Are you trying to convince me or yourself to believe that? I know it was more than sex and I know you do too," Mike said.

"No it wasn't Mike. It was one night, one drunken night I might add. It meant absolutely nothing," she said.

"It meant a lot Alexa, stop lying to yourself. It was more than just sex, the way you said my name when I was inside of you, the way you moaned when I kissed all the right places, the connection you felt every time are lips touched. You know there's something more, don't fight it," Mike said as he moved closer to Alexa.

"There can't be," Alexa whispered. "It's not right."

"We can't help who we fall for Alexa," Mike said. "Alex will fuck up again, and I'll be right there to pick up where he left off." Mike leaned in and kissed Alexa gently, putting all his feelings into the kiss before walking away and leaving Alexa to her thoughts.

After twenty minutes of trying to regain her composure Alexa walked out of the locker room, she wanted to get back to the locker room and lay down until the show was over. As she entered the locker room she saw Alex and Mike sitting on the couch going over exactly what was going to happen tonight.

"Hey babe," Alex said as he stood up and kissed Alexa before she sat down. "You look a little stressed, is everything okay?"

"Yeah," Alexa gave a fake smile. "Everything is fine." Alexa felt Mike's eyes burning a hole through her before decided to ignore them as she took her phone out and began to use it as a distraction.

"Can we get back to what we were doing? The show is going to start soon," Mike said, sounding annoyed.

"Yeah, Mike. Sorry," Alex said, getting Alexa's attention. She silently prayed he wasn't going to turn back into Mike's little puppy. He said things were going to be different and he was going to start standing up to Mike.

"So like I said before, you distract the ref and I'll use the chair and then get the win," Mike said.

"That's not in the script, it's supposed to be a fair win," Alex said.

"So?"

"Yeah, right, right," Alex said, agreeing with Mike.

Mike stood up, "Don't forget…we're hitting that club opening tonight. How often is there a new club opening up the day we're in town?"

"I thought we were spending time together tonight," Alexa said, joining in the conversation.

"Yeah but Mike was telling me about the club opening, he got us personal invitations and there's going to be paparazzi, it'll be good publicity."

"I don't really care if you got a personal invitation to the fucking Playboy mansion; you're not blowing me off for a club."

Alex really hated it when Alexa tried to boss him around in front of Mike. "I'm a grown man Alexa; I can go out where I want, whenever I want to."

Mike stood back and watched the two argue, he could see Alexa getting more and more frustrated with him by the second. Alex had no clue that Mike would be the one comforting her later tonight.

"Yeah, you're a grown ass piece of shit. What happened to, 'I promise to be better,' 'I promise to spend more time with you,' 'I promise to let not let Mike control what I do'. You're a liar; I don't even know why I tried to fix shit with you in the first place."

"Maybe things wouldn't be so bad between us if you let me handle things my way," Alex said before storming out of the hotel room.

Mike waited a few minutes before he locked the door and made his way over to Alexa, wrapping his arms tightly around her. He was shocked when she roughly shoved him away.

"This is your fault, you're always inviting him places and telling him what to do," Alexa said, fighting back tears.

"This has nothing to do with me Alexa. I told you before, I give Alex and offer and he accepts. The only time I threatened him or demand that he does something my way is when we're out in that ring. When it comes to what we do after the shows I could care less whether he comes or not; he can decline my offers. He chooses to do what he does, just like you choose to stay with him," Mike said before storming out of the locker room.

Later that night Alexa was laying in her own hotel room, after the argument with Alex she had decided it was best to get her own room for the night; not that it mattered because Alex would be out all night anyway.

Just as Alexa was going to close her eyes to go to sleep there was a knock at her door, she slowly rolled out of bed and opened her hotel room door, seeing Mike standing before her.

"Can I come in?" Mike said.

Alexa sighed and opened the door wider, allowing Mike to walk in and plop down on the couch.

"So, it's two in the morning and you and Alexa are already done partying, club opening must not have been that fun."

"It was great, Alex is still there. I left because I needed to see you," Mike said as Alexa took a seat next to him. "Unless you're still mad at me."

"You're right, Alex makes his own decisions; I just wish there were some nights when you didn't put the offer out there."

The two sat awkwardly for about ten minutes before Alexa began speaking, "I'm surprised you're not drunk," she said, hoping to lighten the mood a little bit.

"I had a beer or two," he said. "I really wasn't in the mood for partying." Mike looked up at Alexa and took her had, "I'm really sorry for how mean I was earlier. I was mad at the way Alex was talking to you and then you pushed me away which made me even madder."

"It's fine, I shouldn't have blamed Alex's problems on you," Alexa said.

"He was really mad when he got in the taxi to head to the club," Mike said. "He thinks you're seeing someone else."

Alexa laughed, "Probably his guilty conscious talking to him."

Mike could easily tell Alexa about all the hook ups Alex has when they go out but he figured that would make him look like he was trying to make Alex look back so that she would fall for him. Mike didn't need to bring Alex down to make Alexa fall for him; Alex was doing that all on his own. Mike had Alexa, now it was just a matter of getting her to get rid of Alex.

"You seriously just need to stay separated," Mike said.

"I want to," Alexa said. "But I just can't seem to stay away from him."

"Go home for awhile," Mike said. "Get your own place, get a job, and change your phone number. Just block him out of your life. That's the only way you're ever going to get rid of him; cutting off all ties."

"You do realize that would mean cutting you off?"

"Not necessarily," Mike started. "We've been talking for a while now and he has no clue. It's not that hard to keep things quiet."

Alexa thought for a while, "Can I really just abandon him after three years?"

"Alexa look at your relationship," Mike said. "He abandons you every chance he gets by partying every night."

Alexa got quiet for a few more minutes, "Okay, I'll do it. Can you help me?"

"Anything you need," Mike smiled. "Just as long as you're happy and taking care of yourself."

Alexa smiled again and moved closer to Mike, "I can't believe I used to hate you."

Mike smiled, "its fine, I used to think you were a stuck up bitch."

Alexa faked being hurt, "Wow, you really know how to hurt someone's feelings."

"Let me make it up to you," Mike said as he leaned in and began to kiss Alexa.

"What the fuck is this shit?"

Mike and Alexa were quickly brought to their feet, looking at a very unhappy person standing by the hotel room door.

A/N: Well, I think we all know who it is. The next chapter will have the event on this week RAW in it, where Miz snapped on Alex Riley.
