Over the weeks that Matt was gone, Alex made sure she kept in touch whenever she left. She was planning on going home on August 10th, but a phone call from Jeff stopped her. "What's up, Jeff?" 'Can you come to the taping tomorrow?' "I was planning on going home." 'Please Lex? It'd be worth it.' "Okay Jeff. It'd better be worth it though." She could tell Jeff was happy with her answer as he replied,'it will be. I promise.' "Okay. See you tomorrow then." 'See you tomorrow.' "Bye." 'Bye.' She hung up and ran a hand through her hair. She jumped as a voice asked,"Lex?" She turned and seen a slightly concerned Chris. "You okay Ali?" "Yeah. I just haven't been home since Wednesday. And I really miss Matt. But, now I have to go to the taping, therefore, missing another day." "Sorry. But, I guarantee he understands the schedule." "That's a perk." "I know." She pushed his shoulder, making him smile. "How's Sum and the kids?" "They're good. They're at the house with dad right now." "Aww. Bet he loves that." "Yeah. Aiden wants to stay here." "He loves his Grandpa Ted." "Chey does too. You should see him with them. He loves it. When are you and Hardy gonna settle down?" "This coming from a man that took like four years to ask his girlfriend to marry him?" "She was the boss's daughter. His youngest daughter." "I know. I'm joking. I do wanna marry Matt, but, not now. It's too soon." Chris nodded, understanding somewhat. "Well, I have to be at the taping, wanna ride with me?" "Of course. Paul(Show) too, right?" "Yep." "Sounds good."
She was watching the taping with Chris, Show, and Melina. She was wide-eyed as Matt made his return, not noticing the smirks of her three friends. When Matt came backstage with Jeff, he asked him,"she with Jericho?" "Should be." Matt smiled and went to search for his girlfriend. He found her talking to her three friends. He greeted,"hi sweets." Alex looked up and grinned. She joined him, hugging him tightly. Matt laughed and commented,"I take it you missed me." "I did. I'm happy that you're back." He kissed her, ignoring the cheers of the people around him. He grinned as they broke apart. "I'm happy that I'm back too." She smiled and he smiled back. At the next Raw, she was in the ring, and was taken out by Legacy. She grabbed a steel chair and ran the two off, checking on her dad and Hunter.
Once backstage, she said,"I'm okay", to Ted and Cody. Ted asked,"you sure?" Cody added,"we don't want Matt or anybody after us." Alex laughed and said,"everyone knew about this. Don't worry." They nodded, looking a little better. Alex smiled and said,"I'm gonna go shower. Then, I gotta go to Smackdown with Chris and the kids." Cody nodded and said,"have fun with that. I'll see you this weekend then." "That you will. Fan access, right?" The two nodded, and she smiled, leaving. She was at Smackdown, then went with Matt and Jeff to Los Angeles. At Summerslam, she was in DX's corner, as they beat Legacy. She got her shots in, not being caught by the referee. Once backstage, she smiled happily. She kept up her schedule through the Breaking Point and Hell in a Cell pay-per-views. By Bragging Rights, she was traded to Smackdown with Beth, bringing Melina to Raw. She was happy with it, seeing as she seen her boyfriend more often. She visited home too, keeping up with her step-mom and younger siblings.
Soon enough, it was the night of the Rumble. Alex was the ref in the dark match between the Divas, pulling away from DX. She was watching the WWE title match with Matt when someone sat beside her. She glanced over and seen a smiling Stephanie. "Hi Steph." "Hey Alex. Matt. Creative had a new storyline idea for you two." Matt asked,"what is it?" "They want you two to be together on-screen." Alex said,"this is new." Stephanie nodded and asked,"what do you two think about it?" Matt said,"I'm okay with it." Alex smiled and said,"it's cool with me." Stephanie smiled and said,"okay. I can get you two a quick segment tonight. Just a small one, no romance yet. Is that okay?" The couple nodded and said,"sounds good." "Good." Stephanie rushed off to get it set-up, and Alex leaned on Matt. "You sure you're okay with this", she asked. He nodded and said,"it's a change for me. You?" "It's my first romance one."
Alex was walking after her appearance with the other Divas after the Mickie/Michelle match alone. She looked up and smiled as a voice greeted,"hi Alex." "Hi Matt. Ready for the Rumble?" "It's not my first one." "Good luck though." "You'll watch it?" "I'll be ringside for most of it. I promised Hunter I would. Even though I'm on Smackdown, I have to support DX." "Maybe I'll see you out there." She smiled sweetly and replied,"maybe. Bye Matt." "Bye." She squeezed his arm and left, leaving him to smile at her retreating form.
Once clear, Stephanie said,"good job guys. I'll have more for you on Tuesday." The two nodded, and she left them alone. Matt asked,"you okay?" "Yeah. I should go though. I have to talk to Hunter." "Okay. See you after though?" "Yeah. I promise." He pulled her close and kissed her. "I love you." "I love you too." She gave him another kiss and walked away.
On the following Smackdown, the camera found the two talking. "I'm sorry you got eliminated from the Rumble, and the loss to Jericho tonight. I was rooting for you." Matt smiled and replied,"it's okay. I'll find a way to be at Mania." "Good." "Yeah. Can I ask you something?" "Sure." He sighed and asked,"do you maybe wanna hang out after the show?" She replied, smiling,"I'd like that." "Good. I'll meet up with you later then." "Okay. See you then Matt", she replied, before kissing his cheek and walking away. Matt smiled, watching her.
They cleared the two and Alex came back. Matt asked,"home or Texas?" "Home. I went to Texas a while ago." "Okay." They went home for a few days before going back on the road. The following Smackdown found the two talking backstage. Alex smiled as someone approached her. The camera panned back to show Matt, which caused the fans to cheer. "Hi Matt." "Hi Alex. Have fun last week?" "I did. It was fun." "Good. Well, you know how I team up with Khali tonight?" "Yeah. You face the Hart Dynasty, right?" "That we do. They'll probably have Natalya with them, and I was wondering if you'd accompany us, well, me, out there?" She smiled and replied,"sure." "Thanks." He didn't leave right away, and she got curious. "Is there something wrong, Matt?" "No. But, you know how Valentine's Day is coming up?" "Yeah." "Will you be mine?" She grinned and said,"I'd love to." He grinned and she smiled back.
They were cleared and Matt asked,"you ready to fight Nattie?" "Yeah. I've always wanted to work with her." Matt nodded and said,"I get that." They met up with the trio at the curtain a half-hour before the match. Nattie gave her a hug and asked,"ready for this?" "Heck yes. Just think, we've talked about this as kids, now it's happening." "I know. It's crazy." "Yep. I can't believe I'm older than all 3 of you though. Makes me feel old." Everyone that heard her couldn't help but laugh. Nattie said,"you aren't old. When you hit Jericho's age, you're old." Alex laughed and said,"he's only 39." "True. How're him and Summer doing?" "They're good. It was bad after the Kelly thing, but it's okay." A tech guy said,"you all got 10 minutes." The six nodded and started focusing. After the match, Alex raised Matt's hand in victory. She smiled, blushing lightly, as he kissed her hand, making the fans cheer. She walked backstage with him, their hands connected.
Once clear of the cameras and everything, Matt pulled Alex close, hands on her hips. "I have a question." She gave him a slightly confused look and nodded for him to continue. "What'd you get me for Valentine's Day?" She chuckled and replied,"I can't tell you." "But why?" "It'll ruin the surprise." "Fine. I guess I can wait", he replied, pulling away. She asked,"you want a preview?" He nodded, smiling. She smirked and pulled him closer, kissing him deeply. She wiped her lower lip as she pulled away, smiling. Matt grinned and said,"I can't wait for Valentine's Day." Alex giggled, blushing but smiling.
