Alexa quickly stood up from the pool and grabbed her belongings; she had heard Stu loud and clear earlier when he said he wanted nothing to do with her anymore so she promised herself she would avoid him at all costs. "I was just getting ready to go back upstairs," she lied as she started walking towards the exit.

"No you weren't," Stu said, making Alexa stop. "You just got here, I was in the lobby and I saw you walk by," he said as he took a seat on one of the chairs by the pool, staring at the water. "I'm sorry for how I spoke to you earlier; I was surprised to see you walk through my door."

"It's fine," Alexa said. "I don't know why I thought seeing you would be any different."

The two were silent for a few minutes before Stu spoke up, "These past six days have been hell for me. One minute I find myself staring at the door waiting for you to walk through the door and then the next minute I find myself wanting to rip someone's head off. I know you said you need to be on your own for a while and I want to respect your wishes but I can't help but be selfish and say I can't."

Alexa took a deep breath, "It's been hard for me too. I have to tell myself over and over that I made the right choice but I still don't believe it. It takes everything in me not to wake up in the morning and call you. I check your twitter everyday like some little obsessed fan. We need space from our relationship but not each other."

"You think friends is really possible for us? I mean, after everything that has happened."

"I can't say that'll we'll be best friends but this cold shoulder thing has to stop, especially since we work together now."

Stu sighed, "This being friend's thing doesn't mean that I'm over what we have. The second you work out all your problems I'll be ready to work out our relationship problems and get together. Like I told you before; I'm 31 years old and I know that you're what I want." Before Alexa could say anything back to Stu he rose from his seat and walked out of the pool room.

Alexa sat down for a few minutes to regain her composure before heading back to her room for the night. Alexa didn't know where she stood with Wade; they could try to get along for the sake of work but Alexa knew that eventually their feelings would get in the way. Alexa shook her head as she quietly entered PJ's hotel room and decided to put her thoughts away and get some sleep.

Alexa sighed at her reflection in her compact mirror, it was six in the morning and she was running on two and a half hours of sleep. PJ had gone to the gym at four that morning, leaving a note telling Alexa he'd meet her on the plane.

"Whoa, please say you brought your make-up on the plane with you," Paul said as he approached Alexa, Wade following behind him.

"Shut up PJ," Alexa said as she smiled back up at him, locking eyes with Stu for a few moments.

"Well, I see you took the middle seat as always," PJ smirked. "Stu, you want window or aisle?"

"I'll take the aisle seat," Wade answered before PJ slipped by Alexa and took his seat by the window.

Wade got himself settled in before glancing over at Alexa, she was looking in the mirror attempting to make herself look like she had gotten a decent amount of sleep. Something sparkling on Alexa's right hand had caught his eye; Wade smiled to himself as he saw his promise ring on her finger.

"I give up," Alexa said, breaking Stu from his thoughts as she tossed her compact back into her bag.

"Just lean back and sleep for the whole flight," PJ said. "Worry about your face when we get there."

Stu watched as Alexa got comfortable and closed her eyes after the plane took off, and in less than five minutes she was knocked out.

Wade was reading his magazine when he felt a head nuzzle into the side of his arm, and a small arm wrapped around his stomach. Stu looked to his right and saw Alexa sleeping peacefully. He quietly smiled to himself and went to back to reading his magazine; in this moment everything was perfect to him.
