CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
Chris was walking round with a small smile on his lower back thanks to Dylan which had amused everyone highly most of all Alex as he had let her go through with it just to see Chris' reaction when he checked out his tan later tonight in the hotel and found a smile on his back.
Dylan hadn't bothered about going in the water and truthfully didn't want to- well at least until Rob decided she needed to cool off. He had picked her up over one shoulder and with Alex and Chris behind him; he carted her to the water and literally threw her in. She screamed and ended up with a mouthful of water as she hit the water.
Arms fished her out and she found Alex laughing down at her as he held her up in the water. She started laughing as well and squealed when Alex spun her round in the water. They fell over though and she looked down as he sat up slightly, her still a top him. "You know, you don't have to do this on your own," he told her. "You always have me."
"I know I do. I have a heap of support behind me," she pointed out and Alex glanced over his shoulder to find Rob outdoing Chris in a flexing contest. He chuckled and shook his head while she laughed.
"But I mean me," he said. "Don't be afraid to ask me anything." Dylan shook her head and squealed suddenly when a wave crashed against them, knocking her into him. "How about we get outta here?"
She nodded and as she stood up, she got knocked back down by people who were playing with one of those Wahu! Beach balls. Alex made to get up and say something however Dylan managed to distract him by asking for help. He pulled her up to her feet and then lifted her up bridal style and carried her out of the water. She hit his chest when he set her down but smiled and said thank you.
Chris ran past followed by Madison and Taylor. Well, a topless Madison trying to keep herself covered. They'd been tanning and he'd taken her bikini top when she hadn't been looking. "Oh dear lord in heaven, does he ever give up?" she inquired, covering her eyes as Alex chuckled and watched his friend run back towards them. He practically tackled Alex to the ground and Dylan managed to get out of the way in time to avoid being knocked over with him.
Dylan snatched the bikini top from Chris who protested until she slapped him upside the head. She held it by her thumb and pointer finger only as she waited for Madison to take it.

Walking up the beach that night after a long day in sun and on the beach, Dylan had her arm wrapped around Alex's waist and his round her shoulders as they stayed back to walk behind everyone else. "Look Dylan, don't say anything but- I like you alright, more than as a friend and well, yeah," he said and Dylan smiled, ducking her head.
"Yeah? I like you too Alex, but its just- things are messed up so much at the moment. Besides, I don't know how far Tyson is gonna go with this whole thing and I don't want anyone else hurt," she told him, finally looking up as he stopped them both.
"If anything, none of us want you hurt by him because of Jarrett's mental snap."
"Alex- you saw the look he gave you when he was out there, what is going to stop him from rushing out on camera and beating one of the roster to a bloody pulp for no reason? What if he is in a match against you? He could break kayfabe and hurt you," she said.
Alex chuckled. "You almost sound like you'd be upset if I got hurt."
"Of course I would be upset Alex!" she cried back in dismay. "I did admit to liking you. You really think I want to see you hurt? Anyone hurt?"
"You think I wanna see you hurt?!" he shot back, folding his arms across his bare chest as they pulled away from each other. "God! The man drives me crazy with the fact that he can get to you so easily, Dylan! You have no clue how mad it can drive a guy to constantly be watching you to make sure you are alright and haven't broken down into hysterics because of the nutcase!"
"You really think-"
He cut her off. "I know it Dylan. I know that he will play head games off-screen, he will think of ways to absolutely crack you, make you think that you need to go back to him."
Dylan sighed heavily. As much as she hated to admit it, Alex was one hundred percent right and it scared her to know that really; she wasn't strong enough mentally to do fight such things.
Alex grabbed her arms and she looked up at him, wondering what he was doing. "I got a bone to pick with you Martin!"
Dylan's eyes widened as Alex put himself in front of her and faced Tyson head on. "Oh yeah?" he inquired back in a smart ass tone. "What about? I ain't doing nothing and have done nothing wrong to you."
"Bullshit!" Tyson growled as he stood over them both. "Your punk ass is asking for a beating. You really think that you and your little posse of troopers are gonna stop me?" Alex nodded. "I've got news for you kid; Dylan is mine, and will be mine because you are nothing like what she needs in a man and you had better learn that fast. Fans may think this is all set-up but I'm gonna make sure you get everything that's coming to ya."
Alex smirked. "You and what army?" He ducked in time to avoid Tyson's punch and rammed the other man, trying to force him back and down to the ground. Dylan stepped into it and Alex got shoved to the ground just as Tyson backhanded Dylan. He moved faster than he actually thought he had and landed a punch across Tyson's jaw.
Dylan was on the ground, holding her cheek and trying to stop the bleeding from her nose and mouth.
A shout caused Tyson to run just as Alex made to tackle him, which left Tyson face first on the ground and Alex above him. He had hold of the back of the man's shirt and pinned him to the ground, despite Tyson's struggling he held him in place. Leaning down, Alex glanced at Dylan who wasn't looking at them and then back down at Tyson. "Lay a hand on her again and I swear- it will be the last and only thing your miserable ass will do," he growled. Pushing himself away from Tyson, Alex looked up to find Chris and that coming back to them.
He walked over and got down next to Dylan, pushing her hair out of her face so he could see how bad it was. The bruise was already coming out, her lip wasn't swollen but didn't look nice all the same and her cheek was puffy like she had cotton balls suck inside her mouth. Not to mention her nose was pretty bloody.
"Come on, let's get you inside," he said, helping her up and leading her inside. As they got back to the hotel, a lot of fans had drawn in, having apparently found out about them staying there. Alex looked at Dylan and then asked Nash, who was just in front of them for his jacket. He covered Dylan with it and held her in close to his side as they walked through the fans. He felt her arm round his waist, and Alex knew it was going to be a long night.
- - -
Sitting in the hotel kitchen, with a group of about ten wrestlers round them Alex and Dylan were contemplating what they were going to do respectively about this whole mess.
For Alex, well it was simple really; he was going to be round Dylan as much as he could and when he wasn't able to, he'd have the girls or someone else.
Scott Steiner, Nash, Sabin, ODB, Kia, Daffney, Booker, Sharmell, Talia and company all stood round the kitchen just waiting for someone else to speak up. However, none of them did. It was another person who spoke first.
"See, I told you she would be here when I said I saw her come in here."
Dylan looked up and she got up as one of the security guards blocked the person from view. Asking him to move, Dylan let out a high pitched squeal and hugged her former team mate tightly as they both wrapped each other arms round the other. Alex quirked an eyebrow at them but turned to look back at Nash.
Alex had borrowed Steiner's jacket as he was still only in his boardshorts and Dylan still had Nash's jacket covering her.
"Friend of yours?" Nash inquired. Dylan nodded as the girls continued to hug before she pulled back.
"My old team mate, Jen. Well, Vivian is her stage name," she replied. "She is my best friend."
"Damn straight," Jen remarked and then asked what all the commotion had been as fans outside were saying one of the Knockouts and a new TNA star had ended up in a fight. Alex scoffed and Jen grimaced when Dylan explained the situation.
"Let me have at him," Jen remarked and Chris laughed, saying that she was only just taller than Dylan, what threat could she pose. Jen smirked evilly as she spoke: "Well- let me say that there is more than one way to take down someone like Tyson- especially when he is a man."
Alex winced as did a few of the other male stars. The main kitchen door opened and Dixie appeared. "Alright, I am not happy with this situation," she began when all the wrestlers looked at her, "however Jarrett is over my head with the Tyson decision Dylan, I would never have agreed but it's a choice I can't alter."
"This is not safe at all, Dix. What happens if he jumps her on-screen and hurts her? Is that what it is going to take for Jarre-"
"Alex I doubt Jarrett would give up the chance to outdo WWE and it seems like even the WWE paid attention to what happened on that show," she replied.
Dylan looked down. "So what- I'm going to have to sit here and suffer Tyson stalking me, all in the name of making headlines and money?!"
"This is bullshit!" Jen said suddenly.
"Jen, I hired you in hopes of maybe having you two reunite in the women's division, give Dylan some help when the boys can't be there and such."
Jen wrapped her arm around Dylan's neck and let them both butt heads slightly. "I would protect her like I was a recon sniper and Tyson would never get close to her."
Alex smiled and chuckled at the new Knockout as everyone else started talking.

Alex opened the hotel room door and found two double beds in the room. Dylan dropped her stuff down onto one and Jen put her stuff on the opposite of the same bed. He lowered his gaze, somewhat disappointed that he was losing out on laying in the same bed as Dylan but when Chris said this was going to be amusing now that the four of them were in a room together Alex had to stifle his laughter at the remark Jen sent his way.
Jen was not a Knockout to be taken lightly. She played a heel in every sense of the word on-screen and in the ring, however on TNA she was going to be a face, just like Dylan was.
Alex just told him to get in the shower and hurry up. Jen was somewhat amused by the looks Dylan and Alex were unknowingly sending each other that she excused herself saying she would take Nash and Steiner's jackets back to them. Dylan looked down at her lap as she watched Alex start to grab his boxers and that from his bag.
When he started unlacing his shorts, Dylan turned away and fiddled with her own bag. She heard the shorts hit the floor and swallowed thickly but kept herself facing away from him. Feeling him right behind a few moments later, Dylan shut her eyes. She didn't want to do something wrong but when he touched her Dylan unintentionally shivered.
He turned her round and kissed her. She smiled against him, but didn't lean into it. He curled one hand round the back of her neck and he pressed his mouth more firmly over hers. Dylan wanted to pull back and should have but it felt so nice to be kissed the way Alex kissed her.
She ran her hands up round his back and as Alex lifted her up the door of their room opened up and they both pulled away from one another, though they weren't as embarrassed they both felt they should have been at being caught nearly. Dylan smiled when Alex looked at her. When Jen walked over to the bathroom door to tell Chris to hurry up, which amused the pair as Chris shouted he was, Alex put his hand round Dylan's waist and slid his hand down over her butt. She looked up at him and he just jerked his head in the direction of the door. She nodded.
"Where are you two going?" Jen asked.
Alex answered quickly. "Just gonna go and get something to eat. We didn't have anything earlier."
"Oh okay, well don't forget we gotta get up early in the morning," Jen said and Dylan rolled her eyes.

Alex smiled as he and Dylan walked down the hall at a fast pace, his hand linked with hers and pulling her along. They got into the elevator and he hit the ground floor. As soon as the doors shut, Alex turned and pushed Dylan up against the wall making her giggle as he smirked and gripped the back of her legs. He kissed her roughly as she moaned and wrapped her arms round his shoulders. Dylan hadn't felt a thrill or fire like she was feeling now in the longest of times and it made her somewhat afraid but with Alex- she felt this rush that made her head spin and her stomach tighten sharply in knots.
The sound of the elevator doors about to open made the two pull apart. Kevin Nash stepped into the elevator and smiled at the two, not seeming to notice that the pair were standing extremely close to one another compared to normal. It was quite amusing to Alex who put one hand round Dylan's waist and once again found her butt. She went somewhat red but when Kevin asked what they were doing outside of their room, Alex said they were going to get something to eat. "I'll join ya both, was about to do the same thing," he said and despite that they both didn't really want company, they indulged Kevin and both of them said that was fine.
Sitting down in the small eating area- not the restaurant due to the way in which they were dressed, Alex was surprised when Dylan actually ate something. She jumped slightly when Alex put his hand on her leg. Nash was too busy with chatting up every woman who would give him some time of day to notice and Alex was clearly taking advantage of it.
Dylan put her hand over his and she wanted so badly for Nash to get lost or for Alex to get her away from here and somewhere where they could at least have some time together.
- - -
Alex waited until Nash excused himself to the bar before he grabbed Dylan and told her to follow him. She wordlessly did as he told her and it made her giggle like a school girl almost which had him laughing. There weren't many places that they could hide, but when they got in the elevator and it was clear, he hit the basement level and pulled her to him, laughing as she told him that they could get caught.
"Like I care," he replied to her. "I just want some time with ya."
Once the doors opened, he pulled her out and down the dark hallway. He turned and picked her up, setting her back on a crate that was there. She was so wrapped up in the sudden and very strong fire that came from Alex running his hands up her thighs as he stepped in close that like he she neglected to here a door open not too far away. She couldn't care that they were down in a basement, she actually just wanted Alex. Wanted him to be kissing her.
"Alex, kiss me please," she said. He smirked and pulled his t-shirt up over his head, placing it down beside her.
"Anything for you," he replied and did exactly as she asked. He kissed her with an intensity and fire that made Dylan moan low in her throat. Alex slipped his hands beneath her shirt and just as he pulled the strings loose of her bikini top a shout caused Alex to pull back. "Damn security guards!"
He helped her down and grabbed his shirt, pulling her down the hall saying there were fire stairs down this end. They managed to avoid getting caught and by the time that they got up the stairs they were both out of breath and Alex dragged his shirt back on as Dylan looked at him. "We're never going to get a chance are we?" she inquired. "To even be alone." He looked at her smiled, reaching out, he ran his hand down her cheek watching as she shut her eyes.
"Yeah we will- I promise."
