After Raw ended, everyone was heading back to the hotel. As Leanne arrived at the hotel, she walked up to the room that she's sharing with Mike. Remembering he had both of the key cards, she knocked on the door. The door opened and standing on the other side was Alex Riley.
"I'm sorry, I must have the wrong room." Said Leanne as she started to leave.
"Leanne, wait." Said Mike as he came to the door. Leanne turned around just as Mike continued. "You have the right room. Alex is staying with us as well because of our storyline."
"Oh, I didn't know." Said Leanne. "I don't want to make you two uncomfortable though, so I can see if I can bunk with one of the divas."
"No, its ok." Said Mike as he pulled her in the room. "You can still room with us."
"Ok." Said Leanne as Alex closed the door. Since there were two beds in the room, she turned to the guys and said, "I'll sleep on the couch and let you two have the beds."
"Not going to happen." Said Alex. "If you want, you and I can share a bed. I won't do anything to you. Even if I did, I can't stand the risk getting my ass kicked by the Three Musketeers, meaning Cena, Randy and Ted."
"That's true." Said Leanne as they laughed. "Well, it's for one night anyway so what is the worst that could happen."
"We all get drunk and have…" started Alex as both Leanne and Mike glared at him. "Well she asked."
"But you didn't have to answer." Said Leanne as she grinned.
"Yeah Alex." Said Mike as he turned to Leanne. "Better yet, I'll let you share the bed with me. Alex might try to pull something if we aren't careful."
"I can believe that." Said Leanne as she grabbed her pajamas. "Well, if you don't mind, I'm going to go take a shower."
"Ok, go ahead." Said Mike as she went into the bathroom. After she went in, Mike hit Alex on the back of his head. "Man, what the hell were you thinking? You can't hit on her."
"I wasn't trying to hit on her, it just came out wrong." Said Alex. "You know I always had a thing for her. But all of this with her and Orton being so close made me back off. He's being so protective of her."
"I know." Said Mike. "He's not doing it on purpose. I believe he's protecting her because he doesn't want to see any one hurt her like he did."
"Then why is he ok with her going out with Ted? He knew Ted hurt her the first time they went out. Is it because he trusts him that much?"
"Might be, but I believe that's not the real reason." Said Mike.
"What do you mean?" asked Alex as they sat down.
"I just have a feeling that Randy's still in love with her. It's true that he did cheat on her when they dated, but I believe that he's just not over her."
"Yeah, I know. I had that same feeling too, especially tonight when they were in their match. I know he's with Maria but you can still see the signs between him and Leanne."
"True." Said Mike as the door to the bathroom opened. As Leanne walked out, Mike whispered to Alex, "We'll talk about it later."
Alex nodded as Leanne said, "Mike, if you don't mind, I'm going to bed."
"Sure, go ahead." He said. "Alex and I were just about to head off to bed ourselves. We have a radio interview in the morning."
"Cool." Said Leanne as they got in the bed. "I hope that you guys have fun."
"I hope so too as long as they don't invite Michael Cole." Said Mike as he laughed. "I have to give him props for elevating my character, but he gets on my nerves though."
"He gets on everybody's nerves with his talking." Said Alex. "And then wonders why no one wants to be his friend."
"He idolizes you guys so much, that's why." Said Leanne as she grinned.
"Got jokes now huh?" said Mike as they laughed. "But I wish Vince would change his character again."
"Me too. Sometimes I just want to go out there and strangle him."
"Us too, but we can't because we're heels." Said Alex.
"I know." Said Leanne as she heard Mike yawn. "Well since Mike is sleepy, we can go to sleep. Goodnight guys, see you in the morning."
"Ok Lee." Said both Mike and Alex as they all fell asleep.
The next morning, as Leanne woke up, she saw that her head was resting on Mike's shoulder as his arm was wrapped lightly around her. She smiled as she heard her phone vibrate letting her know she had a text. She reached over and grabbed her phone off the nightstand. It was a text from Randy.
Baby, are you going to be busy this morning. – Randy
She smiled as she read the text. She then replied:
Not at all Randy. I don't have any appearances for today. Why? – Leanne
Because I want to see you. Can you come to my room?
Are you alone right now?
I will be in a few minutes. Maria has an autograph signing and she is in the shower getting ready.
Don't you have somewhere to go today as well?
Yeah I do, but it will be this afternoon. I'm free all morning.
Ok, just let me know when she leaves. I'll be there as soon as Mike leaves.
Ok baby, see you then.
Ok.
After she finished texting Randy, Leanne looked over just as Mike woke up. She smiled at him as she said, "Good morning."
"Good morning." Mike said as he smiled back at her. Then he saw how close they were and he blushed. "I'm so sorry."
They sat up as she said, "It's ok. Most likely it was my fault. I probably wasn't comfortable enough and started moving around in the bed. I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable."
"Don't apologize. I understand completely. I'm like that most of the time too. But I was actually comfortable lying beside you for once. So it's cool." Said Mike as he smiled.
"Me too." Said Leanne.
Mike then got out of bed as he said, "So, do you have any appearances for today?"
"I don't have any for today, but I think I have to help Maryse with something later on." She then saw Mike looking at her as she continued, "Don't worry, I won't tell her about us sharing a bed."
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that. She knows we wouldn't do anything to hurt her."
"Yeah, I know." She said as she looked at him. "She's lucky to have someone like you."
"Nah, I'm the lucky one." Said Mike as he grabbed his clothes. "I'm going to get ready for today. Are you going to be ok?"
"Yeah, I'm going to be fine. Don't worry." Said Leanne as she smiled.
"Ok. You know I care about you. I don't want to see you upset about anything."
"I know and I appreciate that. I just wish that I can have more guy friends like you that I can talk to. I know I have Randy and John, but I can just be me around you and you can understand what I am going through."
"I know. Just know that I'm here for you when you need me." Said Mike as she nodded. He heads into the bathroom to get changed. As he closed the door, Alex started to stir as he wakes up. Leanne grins at him as she said, "Morning sleepyhead."
Alex smiled at her as he said, "Got jokes huh?"
"Nope." She said as she smirks at him.
"If I were you, I'll take that back. No one calls me a sleepyhead and gets away with it." Said Alex as he gets up off of his bed and walks closer to her.
"And what if I don't?"
"Then I will do this." Alex said as he started to tickle Leanne.
Leanne tried to cover herself up but its no use. She was laughing so hard that she fell back onto the bed and Alex was on top of her. "Ok, ok, I'll take that back."
"That's what I thought." Said Alex as he stopped. As Leanne tried to catch her breath, she made a mistake by looking into his eyes. Before they knew it, Alex leaned down and kissed her. After a minute, they came to their senses and broke the kiss.
Alex then looked at her as he said, "I'm sorry."
"It's ok." Said Leanne as she broke eye contact with him.
"Babe, look at me." Alex said as he turned her face to him. He rubs her sides as he continues, "I know you are nervous that someone will find out about this. Don't be. I'm not going to tell anyone about that kiss, just like the other times we kissed."
"I know you won't but I can't help it. I don't want you to get into trouble, especially with Mike."
"But that's the price I'm willing to take babe. I would rather take the blame for you anytime because I love you that much."
"It wouldn't be right for you to take the fall for me though. If we didn't kiss that day when you tried to calm me down after that fight with Kelly, we wouldn't be in this predicament."
"But it was worth it to me. I don't know about you, but I thought that kiss that night brought us closer."
As Leanne was about to say something, they heard the bathroom door open. Alex got off of Leanne quickly as Mike walked in. He looked at both of them as he said, "Is everything ok?"
Leanne nodded as she said, "Yeah, it is. I thought that I could get a few minutes of sleep in but couldn't because Alex was making a lot of noise."
Alex grinned at her as he said, "No I wasn't. I'm always quiet."
"I want to see that day when it comes true." Said Mike as they laughed. He then turned to Alex and said, "Well the bathroom's yours. We leave in about 30 minutes."
"Ok." Said Alex as he grabbed his clothes. As soon as Mike went into the living room, Alex turned to Leanne as he whispered, "Thanks."
"No problem." whispered Leanne as he kissed her before he went to get dressed. After he finished, he came out and said, "I'm ready Mike."
"Ok." Said Mike as they headed towards the door. "We'll see you later Leanne."
"Ok guys. Good luck with your interview."
"Thanks." They both said as they headed out of the room.
