Alexa walked down the hallways of the arena, making sure all the superstars had no problems with their schedules. Alexa decided to dress semi-casual tonight since she was just at a house show, wearing a pair of light blue jeans and a teal off the shoulder short sleeve top with a pair of white heels. Hearing her name called behind her Alexa turned around, coming face to face with the person who essentially caused all her problems with Wade – Casey Leggio. Casey was a bit taller than Alexa, standing at about 5'6" with dark brown hair that was currently up in a messy bun, she had on a blue velour outfit with a pair of white sneakers.

"Hey, I heard that you were back," Casey said as she approached Alexa.

"Yeah, I'm back," Alexa said. She and Casey had never liked each other due to obvious reasons, so the fact that she was even approaching her had troubled Alexa; that was, until she began speaking again.

"Well I just wanted to tell you that Wade and I are working on things," she said. "We're not together right now but we've been talking a lot and now that you're around I think its best that you don't get in the way."

Alexa couldn't help but laugh at the words coming out of Casey's mouth, "Yeah, okay Casey; whatever you say." Alexa began to walk away when Casey began talking again.

"I mean it," she said. "The only reason we ended last time was because you found out. He had no intention of ending things. Why don't you bring up the phone bill from after you find out, he and I still spoke frequently until you decided to tell him that you wanted to leave. Even after you caught us we still tried to continue things. The only reason he stopped talking to me was so that you wouldn't suspect anything. He told me that he and I had to 'fall back' for awhile until you stopped worrying about what he was doing."

Alexa took a deep breath and continued to walk down the hallway, her thoughts plagued with every word that Casey had just spoke. Wade wasn't sincere when he said he cut Casey off, it was only temporary. The second Alexa let her guard down with him he was going to go right back to her, so now it only made sense that the two would eventually get back together now.

As the night came to a close Alexa gathered her stuff and headed back to the hotel in her rental, her mind had been running wild since her conversation with Casey and now she was starting to break down. As she walked through the hallways of the hotel room she had to lean against a wall to hold herself up, Alexa suddenly stopped walking and slid down the wall, pulling her knees to her chest and letting her tears flow. She didn't know how long she had been sitting there when she felt someone touch her arm. As she looked up Alexa's first instinct was to pull away.

"Don't touch me," she said as she stood up and began walking away from Stu.

A confused Stu rose to his feet and followed after Alexa, gently grabbing her arm, "Wait, what is wrong?" Alexa pulled her arm away and continued walking. "Alexa, please stop walking away from me. I haven't seen you all day; what could I have possibly done?"

"You're a fucking liar. You can't tell the truth. Our whole relationship was a lie," Alexa said as she turned to Stu. "I've never meant anything to you," Alexa slipped her promise ring off her finger and placed it in Stu's hand before walking off to her hotel room, leaving a shocked Stu standing in the middle of the hallway staring at the ring in his hand.

A week passed since Alexa's altercation with Stu and the two hadn't spoke a word to each other. He had tried to get her to talk to him but she would say she was too busy or just ignore his request all together.

Alexa sat on the front porch of her apartment, it was her first day off since she was hired for the WWE and she was more than happy to have the downtime. Alexa was so far off in her thoughts that she didn't see the man approaching her until he was right in front of her.

"You've been M.I.A. lately," Drew McIntyre said as he took a seat in the chair next to her.

"You've seen me every day for the past week," she replied.

"Yeah, at work. You didn't go out with the group at all; the only time you were out of your hotel room was to be at the arena or to be on a plane. PJ was about to make Vince room the two of you together."

"I just needed the alone time, that's all," she said simply.

"You're lying," he said. "I saw what happened between you and Stu in the hallway last week."

Alexa looked at Drew surprised, she didn't know anyone was around that night, "It had to be done, maybe now he can move on and have what he really wants."

"I thought what he really wanted was you," Drew said.

"He fooled us all. Made you and I feel guilty about what we were doing while he still had Casey on the back burner."

"He was seeing her while you and I were seeing each other."

"Basically," Alexa said as she stood up and walked into her apartment, Drew following behind her.

"What does 'basically' mean?"

Alexa plopped down onto her couch, "After the night I found out he stopped seeing her but he didn't stop talking to her. Then a month later when I had that bad break down and wanted to leave he told her that he had to stop talking to her for a while but as soon as I stopped worrying about him lying that he would get in touch with her again."

Drew sat down in awe, "He really did play us all," he said.

"He has to know that he can't have the both of us, that's not okay," she said. "If he wants her then that's fine, I won't stop him but he can't have me too," Alexa said as her eyes began to fill with tears.

Drew wrapped his arms around Alexa and pulled her close, letting her cry it all out. When she was done she looked up at Drew, the two stared into each other's eyes until Alexa leaned up and began to hungrily kiss him. Drew returned the kiss while Alexa moved on top of him and pushed him to lay on his back. Alexa moved down to Drew's neck while Drew's hands roamed Alexa's body. Alexa moved back to Drew's lips until Drew started to unbutton her jeans, Alexa sat up and stood from the couch.

"We can't do this," she said.

"Why not?" he said. "You know it always makes you feel better."

Alexa smiled lightly, "I know it does but it's not fair to you. I can't use you as a distraction from my problems."

Drew shook his head, "Then let me take you out, we still have two days off…I can take you out to dinner."

Alexa smiled; maybe she should give Drew a chance. "Okay, be here by eight," she smiled.

Drew smiled back and kissed Alexa's forehead before the two said their goodbyes.

The next day, Alexa was sitting on the couch watching television and playing games on her phone when there was a knock on her door. Alexa answered the door with a smile on her face, thinking it was Drew; her happiness was ruined when she saw Stu standing in front of her.

"Can we talk?" he said.

"I think me giving you your ring back was a big enough clue that I want nothing to do with you," she said.

Stu ignored Alexa and brushed past her and entered the apartment, "Well I'm not leaving here until I get some answers."

Alexa sighed, she really didn't want to do this but she knew he wouldn't leave. She plopped down onto the couch and turned the TV off, "What would you like to know?"

"Why did you give me the ring back?" he said as he sat next to her on the couch.

"Because you're a liar," she answered.

"What did I lie about?"

"Well you're lying right now by acting like you don't know," she said.

"I really don't know what you're talking about," he said.

Alexa looked into Stu's eyes and saw confusion written all over them. "You never were going to stop seeing Casey completely."

"I did stop seeing her right after you found out," he said.

Alexa shook her head and stood from the couch, turning her back to Wade as she looked out the window, "You did stop seeing her but you continued to talk to her. And before you say you didn't; I logged onto the cell phone account and brought up the bills from after I found out," Alexa took the printed bills out of her purse and handed them to Stu. "You continued talking to her for a month; the calls stopped after I threatened to move out. After that you told her that when things settled down you'd get in touch with her." Stu looked up from the cell phone bills, Alexa could see shock and regret written all over her face; the was proof that Casey was telling the truth. The tears began to fall from Alexa's eyes as she slowly slid into the chair next to the window.

Stu hurried over to Alexa and got on his knees, taking her hands into his. Alexa quickly pushed him away and stood up from the chair, moving across the room and away from Stu. "I think it's time for you to leave," she said.

Stu looked over at Alexa, "You should know that only half of what you just said to me is true. Yeah, I continued talking to her for that month but after you told me you wanted to move out I cut her off completely. I never told her that I'd be back after I got your trust back. I know that continuing to talk to her was a fuck up on my part but I guess I figured you would never leave and I took advantage of that. When I walked in on you moving your stuff out that day I realized just how bad I fucked up. Seeing Casey was a mistake; but losing you over her would have been an even bigger one."

Alexa sat back down on the couch, breaking down again. Stu sat down beside her and pulled her to him, rubbing her back. When her sobs began to quiet down Stu placed his had underneath her chin and made her look up at him before capturing her lips in a heated kiss. There was so much sexual tension built up between the two that the thought of stopping what was about to happen never crossed their minds.

About two hours after the kiss Alexa and Stu lay on Alexa's bed, naked and tangled in the sheets. Alexa looked up at Stu and saw him peacefully sleeping. Alexa rolled over and grabbed her cell phone, seeing it was five o clock in the evening. Alexa sighed and she sent Drew a quick text telling him that they would have to reschedule.
