35. Shauna's Birthday

It's the day of Shauna's birthday and we're all in Tampa for it. I was planning a party for her, and everyone knew besides her of course. But anyways, since it was a day off, Mike and took advantage of that and had slept in for a bit in the morning. I was still asleep like always while he was awake watching me sleep like he loves to do. He didn't move from the stop he was in since I was laying on his chest and he didn't want to wake me. While he was watching me, he softly ran his hand over my cheek, moving some hair that had fallen. After a bit, I start to stir, burying my face in his chest.

"Good morning to you."

"Hmph."

"Don't need to get up yet, don't worry."

I mumble incoherently, burying my face in his chest more while pulling the covers over my head.

"You're cute when you first wake up." He chuckles.

"Am not." I mumble from under the blankets.

"Are too."

I just whine, wrapping the blankets around my head. He just chuckles and wraps an arm around my blanket-covered body. I stay like that for a bit longer before waking up fully. I don't let him know I'm awake since I wanted to have a it of fun. I start buy lightly kissing his chest then lightly running my fingers over his skin.

"Someone's awake now." He chuckles.

I don't say anything, I just keep doing what I was doing, but instead of moving up his chest, I move down, seeing how far I can go before he can't take it. The lower I end up going, the more I can feel him tense. I grin, knowing that I'm starting to get to him. I get to the waist of his boxers, kissing just above that. I use my tongue at times, traveling it along his skin as I go. My hands, that were on his sides, lightly move down his sides, my nails digging a bit deeper the closer I get to his boxers.

"Someone's teasing this morning." He chuckles.

"It's only teasing..." I slip my finger under the band of his boxers. "...if you don't follow through." I press his indent.

"...testing me..."

"How much can you take?" I smirk, pressing my lips to his indent, sucking at it.

"Not...not too much..."

"My job is done." I smirk, making my way back up his chest slowly, making sure to really get to him as I move my body over his.

"...evil..." He mutters.

"You love it." I grin, biting his lip as I straddle him.

"I do."

"Just like you love me." I tease him by moving on his lap.

"So very much."

"I thought so." I let go of his lip, kissing along his jaw, making my way to his neck, nipping and sucking at the spots I knew get to him.

"...I'm so...getting you back...when I can."

"What's stopping...you now?"

"Planning."

"Uh...you planning...never good."

"That's right."

"To late to take it back?"

"Just a bit yeah."

"Darn." I mumble. "In that case..." I nip harder at his neck, moving my hips on his lap.

"You just want to make it harder for me to plan...don't you?"

"That's the goal."

"Well then..." He trails off, and catches my offguard when he rolls the us over so I'm under him.

"Mike!" I squeak. "I wasn't done."

"That's how unpredictable I am." He smirks.

"I can see that." I grin, my fingers running across his shoulders lightly, while my arms wrap around his waist.

"Always some form of teasing in the morning."

"Best way to start the day."

"Always."

"Mhm." I grin, pulling him closer to me, wiggling my hips against him.

That causes his hands to go to my hips, trying to hold me still. Since I can't move my hips at the moment, I let my hands do all the work, lightly running over his skin, going from his shoulders to his chest, slowly moving down. He takes advantage of the situation and buries his face in my neck as he starts to tense the lower my hands go, his grip on my hips getting tighter. I smirk, knowing that I'm getting to him, letting my hands go as low as I can get them. I let my fingers move lightly over his skin, nipping at his ear since his face was in my neck. That earns me a small growl, it being mumbled into my neck.

"Had enough?" I whisper in his ear.

"Not quite yet."

"Hmm..." I move my hands down even farther, slipping them under the band of his boxers, lightly moving my fingers over his skin, using my nails when I go over his indents.

That causes him to cling to me as he buries his face further into my neck, trying to distract himself with pressing a kiss here and there to my skin. I keep my hands there for a bit longer before pressing into his indent, dragging my nails after. The growl that comes from him is much louder than the first one and I smirk.

"...I think I've had enough..." He manages to mumble.

"Mission accomplished." I smirk, slowly moving my hands back up his to his neck.

Since his face is still buried in my neck, he just mumbles incoherently.

"That's what I thought."

"...oh how I love you so much.."

"I love you too."

"What do you want to do for breakfast?" He asks, after finally un-burying his face from my neck.

"Besides you..." I smirk. "...I could go for some french toast."

"French toast it is." He chuckles.

"Yummm." I lick my lips. "Just as good as you."

"You sure I'm not better?" He grins.

"Umm..." I pull him down for a kiss, pulling away quickly. "...you're better."

"I thought so."

"Shame I can't just have you."

"Oh but you already do...every day."

"You bet I do." I tightening my legs around him, pushing up into him.

"And nothing is going to change that."

"No, nothing or no one will."

"Exactly."

"So...going to let me go so we can make breakfast or you going to just keep me here all day?"

"I can carry you." He smirks.

"Be my guest."

He lets me go and moves so I can sit up. Once I do, he picks me up from the bed and heads out of the bedroom. On the way to the kitchen, he lets his hands wander, begin as touchy as he can. I squirm a bit against him, trying to be as quite as I could be.

"Oh am I teasing you? I'm sorry." He says with a smirk.

"You know what you're doing...it's payback, I know."

"It just may be."

"Knowing you, it so is."

"You can think whatever."

I bury my face in his neck, mumbling to myself. When he reaches the kitchen, that's when he sets me down, so he can get everything ready to cook. I go to help with getting everything ready, but he insists that I sit down and let him down everything.

"I've got everything...you sit and relax."

"If you're sure."

"I'm positive."

"Alright." I sit at the counter, propping my elbows on it, resting my chin in my hands while I watch him cook.

"So are you sure she doesn't know about the party tonight?" He asks.

"I'm totally sure." I nod. "Alex has a whole day planned for her. She'll be so busy she won't even think about one."

"Okay good. Just making sure."

"I got it all covered. He's going to bring her over here around 7. So we have a lot of setting up to get done. Nattie will be over around 4 to help setup and the others will be here around 6."

"Alright." He nods.

"All you need to do is make breakfast then sit and relax all day...unless you want dessert after we eat, but that's up to you."

"I'll think about it."

"Take your time. You got a few more hours or so."

"Right."

He keeps cooking, he smell filling the whole kitchen. I lick my lips at the smell of the food.

"Smells good."

"It always does when it's your favorite."

"Yes, yes it does."

"It's almost done too."

"Oh good. Can't wait to eat it."

"You won't have to wait much longer."

I nod and wait for the rest of the time, before he turns everything off and starts to put everything on plates. Once everything in on the plates, he sets mine in front of me before walking around the counter and sitting next to me. Before he even sits, I take a bit bite of my food.

"Good?"

"Mhm." I nod with my mouth full.

"Well your mouth is full, I can tell that it's good." He chuckles. "I'm glad."

"Your food is always amazing." I say after swallowing.

"Even though before, the only thing I knew how to use was the microwave. Big improvement since then."

"It really is. It's your hidden talent."

"I suppose it is."

"That's a good thing. Not many men know how to cook as good as you do."

"I've had tons of practice as of late." He nods.

"Hmm...I wonder why?" I look at him through the corner of my eye.

"Because it's always gotta be perfect for you."

"True in a way. It doesn't have to be perfect all the time."

"I know."

"Next time, I'll cook for you. I'll make my pancakes again."

"Sounds like a plan." He grins.

I nod, going back to eating while he starts to eat as well.

"Can't wait for those pancakes."

"Oh jeez. Now that's all you're going to be talking about." I laugh.

"They were so good last time. Can you blame me?"

"No, not really."

"Thought so."

"I'll make them tomorrow if you don't keep me up all night tonight."

"I think I can work something out." He chuckles.

"More planning. Never a good thing."

"You'll have to wait and see."

"Sorry? Love you?"

"Love you too."

"still not off the hook though, am I?"

"We'll see."

"I'll be on my best behavior today...not teasing, no matter how hard it is for me."

"Think you'll be able to handle that?"

"No..."

"But you'll try."

"I will."

"Good." He nods.

We go back to eating, me trying my hardest not to be teasing in anyway. We talk in and there then when we're all done, we take the dishes into the kitchen and get them ready for the dishwasher. Once they are ready, we load the dishwasher up with them. But we leave them in there to wash later. After we're done, he comes up behind me, putting his arms around my waist, placing a kiss to the back of my neck.

"Affectionate." I grin.

"Mhm." He mumbles. "Just because I can be."

"Yes you can."

"And I have a feeling you're going to take fully advantage of that." I add.

"All day, yes."

"On a day I can't tease you either...so not fair."

"You love me anyway."

"I do." I lean into him. "Oh so very much."

"Just like I love you oh so very much."

"I know you do."

"So, WrestleMania soon. Excited?"

"Excited and nervous. It's my first one."

"And I will make sure you have your first match there. Even if some matches have to be shortened for it."

"Awe. You don't have to do that for me. Just being there and going out with you will be just fine."

"I know I don't have to. But I want to. You deserve it after all the hard work you've been doing."

"I'm sure I do, but we'll see what Vince says about it. I'd love to have a match, but will be okay if I don't get one."

"Right. I've already scheduled a meeting with him next week, we'll talk then."

"You're really on top of things, aren't you?" I say. "Wait...don't answer that." I chuckle, realizing what I said.

"Oh...you know I am..." He smirks.

"Only you, only you."

"Yes, only me."

"You're the only one who gets me." I lean up, kissing his cheek.

"Yes I am." He grins.

"I do need to get changed or a shower. Going to let me walk or carry me?"

"Hmm...tough choice."

"Either way, I need to get back upstairs."

"Right. I think I'll let you walk this time."

"Alright. You just have to let go."

He nods, reluctantly doing so. I start to walk away, doing what I normally do, but stop when I remember I can't tease him. I mumble to myself then walk as normal as I can while he follows me.

"So what are you doing? Changing or showering?" He asks.

"I haven't decided. Debating if I should just wait until before the party since I'll get all sweaty setting up for it."

"True..."

"Unless you were going to get one...if so, I'll get one too."

"Well I'll be helping to set up for the party too, so I may just take one when you do."

"Alright, so shower later then."

"Yes." He nods.

"That frees up a bit of time. What should we do to fill that time?"

"Hmm...well what would you like to do?"

"We can either watch a movie or lay in bed and cuddle. Whatever you want to do."

"How about both? Both work right?"

"They do." I nod. "Just try to control yourself this time."

"I'll try. And I know how much you love my movie, so we can watch that if you want." He grins.

"I never get tired of watching it. Good choice."

"You relax on the bed, I'll get it started."

"Okay." I say once we reach the bedroom, waking in.

I then head over to the bed, getting under the covers while he gets the movie ready. Once he has it started, he comes over and gets under the covers next to me, immediately pulling me close.

"Was I to far?"

"Just a bit."

"Always." I shake my head amusedly.

"I like having you close, what can I say."

"I know. I like when you hold me like this." I snuggle into him.

"Because it helps you feel safe. As it should. You'll always be safe with me."

"It does and I just like being in your arms. My favorite place to be."

"And that makes me happy."

"I'm glad that does."

"You just make me happy in general."

"Really?" I look up at him. "That means a lot to me."

"Really." He nods.

I bite my lip and smile, burying my face into his neck.

"And I know, I make you happy in general as well."

"You do...so very happy."

"Good."

"Did the movie start yet?" I move from his neck.

"Just started." He nods.

"Good. I don't want to miss it."

"Well, I promise not to distract you from it."

"Don't worry. You're character will do that for you." I laugh.

"Well of course." He chuckles.

"Can't help it. You were so hot...good in it."

"Nice save. And I know." He smirks.

"Of course you do." I blush slightly.

"You're blushing."

"Nope." I pull the blanket over my face.

"You know you'll miss part of the movie if you hide your face like that."

"I can see. My eyes aren't covered."

"Right. Well you're blushing, nothing can hide that."

"Darn. I guess not." I move the blanket from my face.

"You're cute when you do blush anyway...shouldn't hide it."

"It's a natural reaction. I'll try not to hide it form you."

"I'll make sure you don't hide it from me too."

"Uh oh. That's never good." I chuckle.

"Nope." He grins.

"I won't hide anymore then."

"But you know I love a challenge, so you can hide sometimes and I can try to get you not to hide."

"I'll keep that in mind."

He nods and we turn our attention to the movie now. Meanwhile, Shauna was still sleeping while Alex was laying there watch her after making her some breakfast. Her back was to him as she was still sleeping, and to wake her, he carefully moved her hair out of the way before starting to kiss her shoulder. She starts to stir, but not to his liking since she didn't wake up. He starts to add in a few nips as he kisses along her shoulder, getting more of a reaction out of her. Even though her eyes are closed, she still sighs in content, leaning back into him, one of her hands resting on his that was around her waist.

"Morning birthday girl."

"Morning..." She mumbles.

"Made you breakfast."

"Where is it?"

"On the nightstand."

She opens her eyes to see it sitting there, of course it being all her favorites.

"I know I always say this, but you're sweet."

"Only for you. Especially on your birthday."

"Did you get up early to make it all?"

"I did." He nods.

"Let you sleep for a bit longer before deciding to wake you up." He adds.

"Well thank you."

"You're welcome. You deserve to sleep in as much as you can."

"I do. I've been really tired lately."

"I figured...all the travel we've been doing."

"Exactly."

"Does feel good to have my birthday at home instead of on the road though." She adds.

"That always helps."

"So what do you have planned for the day anyway?"

"Just things. You'll see as the day goes on."

"Always surprises."

"Mhm. I'm full of 'em."

"Every day."

"And that's how it's going to be...forever."

"Makes every day a day to look forward to." She nods.

"That's because it is going to be like that."

"Of course. So gonna let me go so I can eat the breakfast you made me?"

"Oh, right." He does so.

"I know how grabby you can get in the mornings, especially when you wake me up."

"True, but I have all day for that." He grins.

"You do." She nods.

"So...breakfast?" He gets the tray and sets it on her lap.

"Yes. I'm starving. And you can share it with me, unless you've already eaten."

"I only had a few pieces of fruit. I might have what you don't eat."

She nods and starts to eat what he had made for her, while they talk here and there about things.

"You know, for your birthday, I'm making you breakfast. It's the least I can do."

"That's fine. As long as I wake up next to you, that's all I need."

"You'll always wake up next to me. Not that I can go anywhere in the mornings most of the time. You and the death grip on me in your sleep afterall."

"Oops. Blame the dreams for those."

"Dreams hmm?" She asks curiously.

"Yeah...most good, others not so good."

"I can't even imagine how bad the not so good ones were."

"You don't even want to know what they're like."

"Well all that matters are the good ones."

"Those and waking up to you every single day."

"Which you will always do. You don't have to worry about that at all."

"Good."

"After I'm finished, I think I just want to lay here for a while. Seeing as you were so affectionate before."

"That sounds good to me." He grins.

"Probably didn't get as much cuddle time with me as you were up early making this very delicious breakfast."

"No I didn't and I really miss it."

"I figured. Well I'm almost done, and the rest can be yours to eat."

"Alright." He nods.

It isn't too much longer before she finishes as much as she could, leaving the rest for him. Once he eats the rest, he takes the tray and puts it back onto the nightstand. After he does that, he turns back to her and pulls me closer into him, his arms staying around her, not letting go anytime soon.

"So much better."

"I couldn't agree more."

"Not letting go...ever."

"Well you're gonna have to let go eventually."

"Nooo." He holds her tighter.

"Can't stay in bed all day, even though I would."

"Lets do that then. Nothing else matters but you today."

"I know. As I've seen already from you."

"Uh huh."

"I was thinking of something we could do today though. It can wait until later of course, but still."

"Oh? What's that?"

"Some shopping? I mean, I know you like it when I try on the clothes...especially ones you pick out for me."

"I really do." He grins. "How about we get up around noon, in 2 hours, do some shopping then do what I had planned?"

"Sounds like a plan."

"Alright." He nods. "Right now...cuddle time."

"Just as long as you don't make me fall asleep again." She laughs.

"I'll do my best not to."

"Well I am wide awake now, but with you I never know."

"Like I said, I'll do my bed to not put you to sleep."

"Right." She nods.

He just holds her close to him, not wanting to let her go.

"Getting touchy." She remarks after a few moments.

"Oops."

"It's okay. Gotta keep busy somehow for the two hours we'll be laying here."

"True. So, I'll continue."

"I think I got a better idea." She grins as she shifts to lay on her side, her arms going around his neck.

"Oh? What might that be?"

"Well..." She trails off, before pressing her lips to his in a brief kiss for right now.

"I like where you're going." He grins after pulling away.

"I had a feeling you would."

"I want more..."

"Hmm...you just might have to work for it."

"I take that challenge." He smirks, squeezing on her thigh since his hand was already resting there.

"...might have to do more than that." She says as she leans her forehead against his.

He smirks, moving his hand up higher, lightly moving his fingers.

"Had enough yet?" He asks, after her eyes close.

"Not even close." She manages to reply.

"Yeah...sure." He smirks, unconvinced, moving to her neck, lightly nipping at it while his hand stays where it was, moving slowly at times.

"...honestly..."

"You're hesitating, a lot. I know it's getting to you."

"No.." I shake my head.

"Hmm...maybe I should stop..." He trails off, pulling from her neck slightly.

"Then you don't get what you want..."

"Nothing is getting to you right now, so I should just want."

"You do know I'm resisting, to make you work harder don't you?"

"I do, but it's really hard this time."

"I'm sorry for making it so hard for you. I suppose I can make it easier."

"That might help."

"Well you showed me you could work for it. You can get more of the kiss from earlier."

"Yess."

She presses her lips back to his, and she moves her arms from around his neck, in favor of holding his head in place with her hands. His hands wander like always, at times moving under the shirt she did have on, coming in contact with her skin and sends a shiver down her spin, followed by goosebumps forming. He smirks into the kiss, doing it again to get a reaction out of her. Once he gets one, he pulls her closer, kissing her harder. She ends up shifting so that she was laying on him, and her hands have since moved, so they were resting on his shoulders for now. As she gets lost in the kiss, her hands move from his shoulders and move down his arms. His hands move from where they were and she ends up lacing her fingers with his before she pins his hands to the mattress. He groans in protest, taking her bottom lip and nipping at it. In response to that, she ends up squeezing his hands and she lets out soft noises. She feels him smirk, and he does it more, getting louder reactions out of her. After he gets that out of her, he lets her lip go before starting to move away from her lips completely and across her jawline, also nipping at that skin as he goes. She moves her head to the side, him slowly making his way to her neck. He takes his time, avoiding all the stops that get to her, hovering over them at times. To make it easier, he moves the them so that she's under him now, and her hands are pinned to the mattress. With him hovering over the spots at times, she can't help but struggle against his hands. But he just chuckles, before finally pressing his lips to one of the spots, working on leaving a mark, but a small one for now, because of the party later. He smirks when he gets the reaction out of her that he wanted, pulling away when he feels a mark will be forming. Once he sees one, he kisses it one last time before making his way back to her lips. She still can't move her hands, but once he reaches her lips, she kisses back more eagerly than before. The affection continues for most of the time, until they feel like just laying there for the rest of the time. Once the 2 hours were over, she was so relaxed that she didn't want to move.

"Uh oh...you don't want to move now." He chuckles.

"That would be your fault."

"Sorry?"

"You're forgiven."

"I knew I would be." He grins.

"Suppose I should get up though right?"

"Only if you want to. We have all day."

"Well it has been 2 hours. You're probably eager to pick out clothes for me to try on while shopping."

"I am, but I'm content here too."

"Of course you are."

"Whenever you're ready, we can get up."

"A few more minutes."

"Alright." He nods.

"And I'll tell you what. You can pick out clothes for me to wear today. Since you were so sweet this morning."

"Really? I can?" He gets excited.

"Yes, you can." I nod.

"How about, I do that while you rest a bit more?"

"Good idea."

"I'll do that right now."

She nods as he lets her go and moves from the bed, going into the closet as he looks through her clothes for something for her to wear. *He takes his time looking, wanting to to be perfect. Once he comes out, he has one of his favorite outfits of hers in his hand.

"Good choice."

"I had a feeling you'd like it."

"Well of course."

"Need help changing?"

"You would love that wouldn't you?"

"I really would."

"Well I can't say no so..."

"Yayy!" He cheers.

"So why don't you come help me get out of bed then?" She remarks, holding her arms out.

"Gladly." He grins, walking over and lifting her up and out of bed.

"Hmm, what to take off first and replace with what I picked out..." He trails off.

"Well...there's not much to pick from." She laughs.

"That's true."

"I think your shirt is first." He smirks, tugging on it.

"Go ahead."

His smirk gets bigger as he slowly lifts the shirt over her head, being as touchy as he can. Once he gets that off, he sets it to the side then stares for a bit before helping put her new shirt on.

"You were staring..." She grins.

"Can't help. You're just so beautiful."

"Flatterer."

"Always for you."

"As I see every day."

"And you will continue too."

"Always look forward to it."

"I know you do."

He then helps get the jeans on that he picked out as well for her, also taking advantage to be as touchy as he can there. Once they're pulled up and on, he lets them go and she buttons and zips them herself.

"Even better then I first time you wore it."

"Just like every time you wear jeans, they look even better."

"It's a gift." He chuckles.

"Indeed it is."

"I'll put those on when you finish getting ready."

"And then of course saving the shirt for last, I know."

"It's more fun that way."

"Because it tortures me, that's why."

"Exactly."

"It's fun for you."

"Guilty." He chuckles.

She shakes her head amusedly before finding a pair of shoes to wear and put those on. She then goes into the bathroom to do her hair and stuff, leaving makeup off for the day since she doesn't need it. While she does all that, he gets ready in the room, leaving his shirt for last like always.

"You know, if I wanted to, I could jump you right now." She remarks with a grin on her face as she leans against the bathroom door frame.

"What's stopping you?"

"The shopping we have to do."

"Right...there is always later..."

"Oh, I'm planning on it."

"And I'm looking forward to it."

"I can already tell you're planning a gift for the end of my birthday tonight..."

"You'll just have to wait and see."

"A girl can guess can't she?"

"She can, but she's not going to find out until later."

"Right right, I get it."

"It's your birthday, everything is going to be a surprise."

"Went all out for today didn't you?"

"I sure did."

"Now I know what you're capable of on birthdays."

"Just wait."

"Oh boy."

"You're going to love every special occasion when you're with me."

"As I'm starting to see as of late. Which makes you the best."

"I know." He grins. "You do deserve the best and more."

"Of course. So how about putting a shirt on so we can get going."

"Right, of course." He chuckles, putting it on.

"Better...for now."

"I'll make it up to you later. Don't worry."

"You better."

"Oh I will."

"Good. Now are we ready to go?"

"I'm ready."

"And I know...after me." She remarks as she starts to head out of the room first.

"Like always."

He follows her out of the room and downstairs, where he grabs the keys, and they leave the house. He locks the door behind him before unlocking the car and they get in before heading off to go shopping for her. He heads in a different direction then the mall, but it's a familiar way that she knows. Shortly after that, he pulls up in front of her favorite store.

"Now how did I know this was where we were going?"

"Well...you know the way here and it's your birthday. You get the best today."

"Even though I seem to get the best no matter what day it is."

"Exactly."

"So are we splitting up once we get inside?"

"We can split up."

"Can expect you to have so many clothes for when we meet up by the dressing rooms." She laughs.

"I might."

"Oh I know you will. You go crazy...especially with the blues."

"I do and I did see a few things online I liked..."

"Oh boy."

"You're going to have a lot of new clothes."

"Especially now there'll be warmer weather while we're on the road."

"Oh yes."

"Also see if we can find you something to wear tonight. Taking you out somewhere." He adds.

"Oh? Any hints?"

"Well...it may just be a special birthday dinner..."

"Awe. You're to sweet."

"That's me. Now, let's go inside."

"Yes. Let's." She nods.

They then get out of the car and head inside. He gives her a quick kiss before they split up and look around. He goes to a part of the store that she can't see him since he wants everything to be a surprise. She starts to look through the rack of clothes for things she might like. She finds a few things, before moving onto another rack. She keeps that up until she has a good amount of clothes picked out and she heads to the dressing rooms to wait for him to finish himself. It's not to long after she gets there, he arrives with a few things.

"Didn't go crazy yet. I'm surprised."

"Like I said, today is full of surprises."

"Right." She nods, taking what he picked out from him before heading into an empty dressing room.

"I want to see everything." He calls to her.

"I know, don't worry."

"Good."

"I would never try something on and not show you. Unless you're not with me during those times and that's when I take pictures for you."

"Right."

"I'll try on what you picked out first, get those out of the way for you."

"Yess." He cheers. "Thank you."

"Anything for you."

"Now you're the best."

"And so are you."

"Of course I am."

"Alright, I'm coming out." She says as she finishes putting on one of the outfits he picked out.

He sits up in the chair, eyes on the door. Only a few seconds after, she opens the door to the room, standing in the doorway. He sits there staring, trying to form words.

"Take as much time as you need to say something." She laughs.

All he does is nod then motions for her to turn around. She moves out of the doorway and closer to him, before turning around for him like he motioned for her to do.

"...even better..."

"This one is a keeper then I'm assuming."

"Definitely."

"Done staring or do I need give you a few minutes?"

He holds up a finger for her to wait.

"Okay. I'm good."

"You sure now?"

I'm sure."

She nods and heads back in to take that outfit off and put the next on. It's basically the same thing for everything she has to try on. When she gets to the last outfit, which was a dress, it actually took him longer to stop staring before she headed back in to get back into her normal clothes.

"You're so getting everything you tried on."

"I kind of figured."

"Most of the stuff, I already had set aside for you."

"Of course."

They then get to the register and pay for everything before heading out to the car. While they were out, he did end up bringing her somewhere for lunch, since it was close to that time. In the meantime, Mike and I have since finished watching his movie, and that was put away once it was over.

"Do we have to get up yet." I whine, not wanting to move.

"Get too comfortable?" He chuckles.

"I did." I nod. "Your fault for making me this way."

"Oops."

"Surrre." I give him an amused look. "Now come here so I can snuggle with my bear." I reach out for him.

"You know I never deny you that." He chuckles as he climbs back onto the bed and wraps his arms around me.

"Mmm...much better." I sigh in content, relaxing in his arms.

"You know I'm never away from you for long."

"I know." I bite my lip. "Do you want some space? I don't want you to think you always have to be near me."

"I'm perfectly fine. I like being near you all the time. I do love you afterall."

"And I love you too. It's just, I've been told that I'm to...clingy."

"Let me guess...by him?"

"Him...the people we hung out with...everyone but Shauna."

"You're not clingy at all."

"You sure?"

"I'm positive."

"I've just never had anyone so interest in me the way you have. I feel I get to comfortable at times and...get cling."

"You don't have to worry about that with me."

"Alright." I nod, looking up at him. "You really are amazing. Everything I knew you would be and more."

"And that's what some people don't see behind the character they see on TV."

"No they don't. I watched all your videos, interviews, Real World shows. I saw something they didn't."

"Well I'm lucky to have met you that one night."

"Believe me. Shauna was going to get us to meet anyway. She knows how much I wanted to meet you. I just never dreamed we would be where we are now."

"Maybe it was fate that got us where we are now."

"It could be that. I'm just happy it happened, that we happened."

"So am I."

I smile up at him then lean up to give him a quick kiss. When I go to pull away, he holds me in place. With his arms still around me, my hands move and rest on his arms as he keeps the kiss going for as long as he could. Since I didn't want him to stop, I let him keep going. He pulls away briefly for air then steals a few kisses before rolling us over so he's hovering me.

"And that shows how much I'm happy that we happened."

"You show me all the time, but I love being reminded." I smile at him, running my fingers through his hair, stealing another kiss.

"I'll remind you as much as I can."

"Good." I brush my lips over his, my fingers lightly running over the back of his neck.

"Love you." I mumble against his lips.

"Love you too."

As I fingers run over the back of his neck, my nails unconsciously do as well and a shiver goes through him. I smirk, doing it again, testing him. This time gets a low growl coming from him as starts to kiss back more eagerly. I go to do it again only for him to take my hands and hold them above my head all while never breaking the kiss. I whine in protest, tugging at my hands.

"...no hands..." He mumbles.

"...uhhh..." I whine.

"...starting to get you back..."

I mumble incoherently against his lips, trying to get out of it. He just chuckles, as he keeps my hands above my head as he continues the kiss for a little bit before moving from them. He laces his fingers with mine, pinning them to the mattress. He starts to trail from my lips causing me to squeeze his hands. He moves to my ear and nips gently at my earlobe, before moving to behind my ear and kissing the spot behind that. I bite my lip as my eyes fall shut. Since I can only move my legs right now, I hook those around his waist, pulling him down closer to me. I feel him smirk against my skin as he moves away from the spot behind my ear and down my neck, only grazing the spots he loved most for now. I suck in a breath, my legs tightening around him, my hands squeezing his hard. But he moves from my neck to my shoulder, kissing every inch of skin that he could, before moving back up to my neck, now definitely making his way to one of his favorite spots. I make a few soft noises at the torture he's causing, but not the noises he wants to hear. I keep tugging at my hands, wanting them free so I can touch him.

"..patience..."

"...have...none..."

"...little bit longer.."

"...killing...me..."

"I know." He smirks.

"...evil..."

"You love me."

"So very much."

He grins against my skin and then when I least expect it, his lips attach to one of his favorite spots and he works on leaving a mark there like he always does. I try resisting as long as I could, but since he knew I was resisting, he made it hard for me. I give in, letting him hear what he wants and they're loud and clear to him. Since I gave him that, he let one of my hands go, and his now free hand moves to my hip and rests there while mine goes to his hair. I tug on his hair the more he nips at my neck, arching my back into him. His hand that was on my hip, slipped under my shirt, lightly moving his fingers over my skin, goosebumps forming. I shiver, tightening my legs around him.

"I think we should...finish this...in the shower now..." He says in between kisses to the skin of my neck.

"...we...should..." I manage to say.

He lets go of my other hand, and he pulls me up with him, before picking me up and heading to the bathroom where he sets me down on the counter of the sink so he can start the water. Once the water is started, he walks back over to, resting his hands on my thighs.

"Let me guess...you want my shirt off?"

"Please?"

"Well...you did work for it so..."

He grins and his hands move to the bottom of my shirt, before lifting it up and over my head, tossing it to the side.

"Uh, Mike...you alright?" I chuckle slightly since he spaced out.

"Huh?"

"You spaced out on me." I laugh.

"Oops."

"Like what you see?"

"Try love."

"You're just so beautiful."

"Oh, go on." I blush.

"You're beautiful, you're amazing, you're perfect. You are the one for me and always will be."

"Of course I'm the one for you and yes, I am all of those things." I jokingly say the last part.

"Yes, you really are." He says more serious.

"Hearing it from you, I know it's all true. I can tell by the look in your eyes when you say it."

"Because I'm serious when I say it." He nods.

"I know you are and that makes me love you even more." I rest my hands on his shoulders, my legs going back around his waist so I can pull him closer to me.

"Well, I'll always remind you how serious I am when I say those things about you."

"You do." I nod. "I love hearing it too."

"I know." He grins.

"How about we get in the shower now?" I suggest since the room is filling with steam.

"That would be a good idea." He nods.

"Boxers..." I stop him, moving my hands down, helping to tug them down.

"Almost forgot about those."

"That would be my bad." I chuckle, covering up slightly.

"Right...and don't try to cover up.."

"Oh. Mike don't like. What's he going to do about it?" I challenge.

"Testing me..."

"What if I am? What are you..." I tap his nose with my finger. "...going to do about it?"

"Hmmm..." He trails off, and I feel his hands moving to my thighs.

"...nope...not this time." I shake my head.

"Aww..darn."

"You'll get to me, I know you will."

"I always do."

"You kinda are now and it's not the touching either..." I bite my lip, eyes wandering.

"That's very good to know." He smirks.

"I do think we should get in the shower now though."

"Right." He nods, helping me down from the counter before we get into the shower.

As soon as we get in, he turns me so I'm facing him, pushing me against the wall.

"Aggressive. Major turn on from you."

"I'm full of surprises."

"You are...touchy..." I bite my lip.

"You haven't seen touchy yet..."

"Uh oh..."

"Getting you back."

"I can...feel that..." I squeeze down on his arms since my hands were resting there.

"But before I do...I think we should get the necessary things done first..."

"That would be good."

"But after we're done, then you're in trouble."

"Umm...sorry?" I bat my eyes at him.

"Not gonna work this time, sorry."

"Oh darn."

"You'll survive."

"I will, but will you?" I grin, turning so my back is to him, rubbing up against him as I get my body wash in his favorite scent.

"I'll try my best."

"Good luck." I smirk, handing him everything.

"My favorite scent." He grins.

"Of course. I stocked up on it."

"You have to with me."

"I do 'cause you love it oh so much."

"I really really do."

"I know you do. Enjoy."

"Oh...I will." He smirks.

He then gets some on the loofah, starting to rub it all over. He takes the time to be all touchy, as touchy as he can be to the point I have to redirect him. While he does that, he takes time to smell the scent before I rinse off and he washes my hair, with his favorite one. Once he's done with me, I do the same to him, using my nails as I go along his skin, doing everything I can to torture him. When I finish, he rinses off and I take the time to try to sneak out of the shower.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Getting out. We're done, right?"

"Done with the necessary stuff."

"Yeah..."

"...remember...you're in trouble now..." He smirks.

"I was hoping you forgot." I mumble.

"Oh no, I didn't forget."

"Darn." I mumble. "I suppose I'm in more trouble for trying to leave, huh?"

"Just a bit."

"Love you?" I start backing away from him.

"Love you too."

Before I know it, my back is against the wall and he's standing in front of me, hands on the wall on either side of me.

"I really really love you?"

"I really really love you too."

"Not going to work huh?"

"Nope."

"Worth a shot."

"Of course."

"Do your worst. I'm as ready as I can be."

"You sure now?"

"I'm sure."

"We'll see..."

"I...uh...take it back..." I say once I see the look in his eyes.

"No take backs this time."

"I..umm..." I try to think of a way to get out of it, but he presses his lips to mine a rough kiss.

I have no choice but to kiss back, but he's once again got a hold of my hands as he is now holding them against the wall. I whine in protest, tugging at my hands, wanting them free so I can touch him. He just chuckles into the kiss, keeping it going the way it is for a while. He then stops the kiss in favor of taking my bottom lip between his teeth, and at that same time, he lets go of my hands and his start to wander. My arms go right around his neck, pulling him closer while I make a few soft noises while he nips on my lip. I do manage to move one hand to the bottom of his hair, my nails running over the back of his neck. That causes the usual reaction out of him, and he lets your my go and he pulls me away from the wall a bit so his arms can wrap around me and hold me even closer. My hand stays in his hair, while my other continues to run over the back of his neck. He growls a bit louder than before, a smirk forming on my lips.

"Think you can handle any more?" I mumble.

"Can you?"

"I asked you first."

"I can."

"I don't think you can..." I trail off as my other hand starts to move lower.

He mumbles against my lips, pressing his lips to mine in a hard, rough kiss. I let my hand go down as far as it can, lightly moving my fingers. That causes him to tense and I again smirk against his lips, knowing that I'm getting to him even more now. He then moves his hand, letting it wander. When he goes over certain spots, I spot what I'm going and tense a bit.

"Remember, two can play at this game." He mumbles.

"...mhm..."

"But I do think that's enough teasing..." He trails off, pulling away from the kiss and giving me a look.

"Just waiting for you."

He just grins and rests his forehead against mine. His arms move and his hands go back to resting on my hips as he presses me back against the wall, and the shower soon becomes another long one. About an hour later, we were out of the shower and getting dressed for the day. I just went with a simple t-shirt and a pair of jeans. I was working on my makeup, when he came in behind me, wrapping his arms around me.

"I think you had enough fun for now." I laugh, fixing my eyeshadow.

"I'm just wrapping my arms around you."

"I know, but you still have that look."

"Oops."

"You're so insatiable."

"Just a bit."

"A bit?" I raise a brow. "If it was up to you, we'd never leave the bed."

"Yeah, true."

"Maybe another. We've got a lot to do today."

"Right, I know."

"If you behave tonight, maybe I'll let you have fun tonight..."

"Depends on what you'll be wearing for the party tonight."

"True..I'll try to make it easy for you."

"Alright." He nods.

I soon finish with my makeup before telling him to step back so I can work on my hair. I give it loose curls then get my jewelry, starting with the ring he gave me. I look at it for a moment before putting the rest on.

"Amaze me every time."

"Oh you." I blush. "Stop."

"It's true."

"I know it is." I smirk. "I'm hot, what can I say?" I say with sass.

"Yes, yes you are."

"I was joking." I laugh. "But if you think so."

"I do think so."

"See? You knew it was a joke too."

"You know I don't think it's a joke. You are hot, I do think you are. And that's all that matters."

"Of course. Natural instinct...my bad."

"But I do understand. In time, I know you'll get used to everything I give you."

"I will. I'm slowly getting used to it. I just have to let myself believe it's all true."

"And you take as much time as you need for that."

"Right." I nod. "I'll do my best."

"But no rush."

"Alright...just waiting to see if I wake up from this dream."

"You'll never wake up, because it's not a dream."

"It just feels like one. You being so good to me...I feel like I'm going to wake up any second."

"I'm so good to you because you deserve it."

"I'm sure I do, but I don't know how or why." I sigh, moving around him and walking out of the bathroom.

"Everyone deserves to be treated with equal respect." He says as he follows me.

"It's just hard for me. I was raised that way, but then..." I try to hold back tears. "...I was told it was all a lie and we, as in women, do what we're told and nothing else."

"That is so not true."

"That's what I thought, but I was told I was wrong every time and everyone who told me different was lying to me."

"Now you know I would never lie to you."

"You, Shauna. Neither of you would lie to me, but I was told Shauna was a liar and she was no good to hang out with."

"Now who would say such a thing? No wait, let me guess..." He trails off.

"And you're right. He put so much in my head, I don't know what to believe anymore."

"Well you can forget everything he said and believe the things that I say."

"So...everything he said was a lie? My looks? Me being a whore? Women obeying men? Like, everything?"

"Yes, everything he said was a lie."

"That's a relief. I was starting to think you only liked me for the...well what he wanted out of me." I look down, biting my lip.

"Not at all."

"That's what I thought. I guess I'll...wait? What?"

"I don't like you just for that. I've told you tons of times before that I like you for you."

"You have and I appreciate all those times, it's just I was not in the right state of mind at the time."

"And that's completely understandable."

"Now..." I wipe the few tears from my eyes. "...I know you were telling the truth and everything before you was all a lie."

"Good."

"Come here." I motion him with my finger as I stand from the bed where I was sitting.

He smiles a bit and does so, walking over to me. Once he reaches me, I pull him by the shirt, giving him a kissing him hard then wrapping my arms around him in a huge hug.

"I love you so much." I sniffle against his neck.

"And I love you too. I'll keep on showing you how much."

"I'll be looking forward to it too."

"Of course you will."

"You truly are the best. You have no idea. He was wrong. There are better guys out there. Way better than him."

"Guys like me."

"Exactly and I'm so glad I found you and that you're mine."

"So am I."

"All I need are my shoes then we can do start decorating."

He nods and lets me go so I can go and get my shoes. I go to my closets, getting out a pair of pink, low-rise Chuck Taylor's then sit on the bed to put them on. Once they're on, I stand from the bed.

"Alright, I'm ready."

"So am I."

"Let's go then."

He nods, following me out of the bedroom like always. We head downstairs and he grabs the keys, and what we need to decorate. Once we have everything, we head out, him locking the door first. We then head to the car, putting everything in. When that's all done, we get in the car then head off to decorate.

"I can't wait to see her face when she shows up tonight."

"Oh I know. She has no clue about anything tonight."

"Gonna be so surprised."

"Definitely."

"It was a good idea to do this." He nods.

"Yeah. I usually throw her a small party, but with Alex's help, I'm able to throw her a bigger one."

"With my help as well, and now that you both work in the WWE, we can have much bigger parties."

"Right, can't forget you." I lean over, kissing his cheek. "And, working with WWE does help."

"It does. You make more friends and that's what makes the bigger parties."

"Exactly." I nod. "There are going to be so many people here, a few I haven't even met yet. We usually only have like 5-10 people."

"But now you'll have tons." He chuckles.

"I know. Thank god for Natalya and Layla. They helped me contact everyone. There were so many." I laugh.

"Oh yeah, they're friends with a lot of people."

"I can see that. I had no idea hoow many until now."

"Everyone knows people upon people upon people. It's never-ending sometimes I swear."

"I'm beginning to see that."

"You'll start to know a lot of people too, just give it time."

"I know. I'm slowly starting to meet people."

"And that's good."

"It is. There's a few more people I want to meet, but I can do that tonight since they'll be here."

"Right." He nods.

"She's so going to freak." I say once we pull up to the restaurant.

"Big time."

"This is her all time favorite place. She's not even going to think of it being here since it's hard to get into."

"Makes it the perfect idea of having it here."

"It does. Alex did good with picking this place."

"And all she thinks is that it's going to be dinner here, just the two of them."

"Boy is she in for a shocker."

"Oh yes."

He then pulls into the parking lot, finding a place and parking.

"Oh, there's Natalya and Layla."

After parking, we get out and grab the things from the backseat, locking the car once we have everything and walk over to them.

"Hey girls." I greet. "Thanks again for helping me setup."

"You're welcome. The more hands, the more that gets done."

"True. We have a few hours to get this all done. We should be able to."

"Yes we should be."

"How about we head inside and get started?"

"Good idea."

They take some of the stuff we have then we all head inside. Once in there, we spend the next few hours decorating before we are able to head back home to change.

Finally I get to see what you're choosing to wear." He grins.

"Yes you do." I give my famous smirk.

"I'm excited."

"I can tell. You always are when I wear dresses."

"Because you always have the best ones."

"I do and that's mostly because of you. You did buy me most of the ones I have now."

"Because every single one of them look great on you."

"It's the body. Everything fits is perfectly."

"It really does."

"The sooner we get back, the sooner I can get changed and you can see it."

"Don't worry, almost there."

"You're the eager one, not me." I chuckle.

"Very true."

"You have seen it though. It's one you picked out."

"Well that could be anything."

"Exactly." I grin. "Gives you something to think about."

"So many that I've picked out and bought you.."

"I know. Have fun thinking." I pat his arm.

"Oh I will."

I give him a look as he continues to drive. It doesn't take to long for us to arrive at the house and when we do, he parks the car then we head inside after getting out. We head right up to the bedroom and I go into the closet to change into the dress. After getting the dress on, that came to about my mid-thigh, pink in color, with bands of lighter pink with sparkles on it, I went over to find a pair of shoes, a black pair of Louboutins. I slip those are then get my jewelry before heading back out into the room.

"Oh Mike." I sing.

He turns as he's getting changed himself, and after he sees the dress he stops.

"Ohhh, that dress."

"Mhm. The one you loved oh so much."

"So very very much." He nods.

"Just remember...behave tonight and you get to take it off."

"I'll try my very best."

"Good. you finish getting ready while I do my hair and makeup."

He nods as I leave the closet to head to the bathroom. He stops me however and gives me a quick kiss. He tries to hold it for longer, wanting to be touchy, but I stop him and quickly head into the bathroom, locking the door.

"Can't blame me for trying!" He calls to me.

"No, but we have to get there before them not after." I call back with a chuckle.

"Right, I know."

"I'll let you in when I'm almost done."

"I'll be waiting, since I'm almost done out here myself."

"Alright." I call back, starting to work on my hair.

Since it was a up-do with curls, it took me a bit of time to do, but when I was done, I unlocked the door then started on my makeup.

"I'm sensing from the unlocking of the door, I can come in?"

"You can. I needed to do my hair with no distractions."

"I would've let you do your hair if I was in there..."

"Without being touchy?"

"It would've been hard, but I could've managed."

"I'm sure you could." I giggle sarcastically.

"I would try anyway."

"I believe you." I say as he walks in.

"Amazing."

"As you tell me all the time."

"Because it's true."

"Of course. Even when I look my worst."

"Yes, but to me it's always amazing, never worse."

"Miiike..." I blush. "...I'm never going to get my makeup done now."

"Sorry."

"It's fine. I know you like it when I blush anyway so it won't look that bad."

"Exactly."

"I'm just about done anyway." I say, adding a few last touches. "And...done."

"Even more amazing."

"It's all for you too. Only you."

"And I know that." He grins.

"Everyone else can look, but only you can touch and take me home."

"That's right."

"You're looking good too." I look him over, fixing his suit jacket a bit.

"Why thank you."

"All mine too." "I run my hands up his chest.

"Yes, yes I am."

"It's going to stay that way too."

"Yes it is."

"I pity the girl that even thinks of trying anything."

"I know right?"

"They will go down so hard..."

"I believe it." He nods.

"You have yet to see that side of me."

"I know, but I still believe it when you say it."

"Good. That's all that matters." I move my hands down his chest, fixing his tie.

"There perfect." I add.

"You'll be the best looking one there."

"Well thank you, but if anything, it's her party...so I think that would have to go to her."

"True...just this once." I chuckle.

"But you know I always look my best no matter what."

"You do and tonight's no exception."

"Right."

"Are we ready though?"

"I think we are."

"Alright, let's go then." I move away from him, grabbing my clutch then walking out of the room with him following.

He already has the keys on him so he heads right out the front door after me, making sure it's locked before we get into the car and head back to the restaurant. Meanwhile, Shauna and Alex were getting ready after having spent the day at the beach.

"So which one did you pick to wear?" He asks her from out in the bedroom while she was finishing up getting ready in the bathroom.

"Oh, you'll see."

"How much longer?"

"Not to long. I'm almost done."

"Oh good."

She does a few more things that she needed to do before heading out of the bathroom.

"Alright, you can look and see what I chose."

The moment he looks at her, he drops what he was holding and just starts, eyes wide and his jaw dropped. He tired to form words, but can't form them.

"Speechless. Score for me."

All he's able to do is mumble while nodding his head.

"Take your time in forming words." She snickers as she goes over to get shoes.

*His eyes never leave her as she gets her shoes.

"...stunning..."

"Well you did pick this out today after all."

"Huh..." He nods. "...it looks even better now that it's yours."

"This is good for dinner right? Just want to make sure."

"It's perfect."

"Okay, good."

"We have reservations in at 7 so we have to leave soon. You almost done?"

"I'm done. I got everything I need on me already." She nods.

"Alright, but first." He walks over to her, pulling her to him and pressing his lips to hers in a kiss.

When he pulls away, he ends up tasting the flavored lip gloss she has on.

"Blackberry." She says before he can ask.

"Love it." He grins. "Found my dessert."

"Ohh you."

"Meee."

"It's got to last at least the length of dinner."

"It'll be hard, but I'll do my best."

"As you always do."

"Mhm." He nods. "Ready now?"

"Yup, all ready to go."

Like always, she walks out of the room first, him following. They head downstairs where he gets the keys then they head out of the house, him locking the door then head to the car. Since the car was unlocked, she had gotten in first as he was locking the door. He got into the driver's side, putting his seat belt on before starting the car and pulling out of the driveway. He starts to head down the road and she notices a few things and she has an idea of where he's going, but don't say anything. When they get about halfway there, he has her close her eyes. She nods and do so, keeping them closed for the remaining drive. It doesn't take to long for him to arrive and once he does, he finds a place to park.

"Keep my eyes closed or can I open them?"

"Just a second."

"Alright."

He then gets out of the car and goes to her side. He opens the door for her and takes her hands, helping her out of the car carefully, before closing the door and then locking the car. He has her walk a bit before telling her to open her eyes.

"So we are at my favorite restaurant. It's so hard to get a reservation...how'd you do it?"

"Oh I have my ways. Don't you worry." He starts to lead her to the door.

"You really are the best."

"I kn0w." He grins. "It is your birthday afterall."

"Yes, I know."

"I hate to have to do this, but close your eyes again."

"Okay, if you say so."

After closing her eyes once again, he starts to lead the way for her. They keep walking until he stops. She hears him open a door then he tells her to open her eyes and when she doe, the lights come on and we all jump out and yell 'surprise'.

"Aww, a party? You shouldn't have." She says after of course being surprised.

"The least we could do for your birthday." I say, coming up and giving you a hug. "Happy Birthday...again." I chuckle.

"I know I say this every time, but you really are the best."

"Oh, don't thank me. Thank Alex. This was all his doing. All we did was setup."

"He would."

"Only the best for you." He grins, kissing her quick.

"Awww." I gush.

"You're gonna help me plan his birthday next month." She says to me, laughing.

"Already have a few ideas to run by you."

"We shall talk about those later then."

"We will." I nod. "Tonight's all about you. Go, mingle with everyone. Mike and I will bee over there." I say, pointing to a table near the food.

"Alright." She nods.

Mike and I go over to our table while her and Alex go talk to everyone.

"Just wait until she sees what I got her for a gift." I remark.

"Oh? What is it?"

"A weekend at the spa for the two of us."

"She's going to love that."

"She will. We both need it definitely."

"You both do." He nods. "As much as I'll miss you, you need the time to relax."

"Right. Don't know when that weekend will be just yet, but I will let you know."

"I think I can make it happen as soon as you want it to. Just say when."

"Just gotta wait for me to talk it over with her first."

"Alright. That's a plan."

"But you know there'll be plenty of pictures from our weekend for you to see. I'll make sure of that."

"I know you will. You're good for that." He grins, kissing my cheek.

"Yes, yes I am."

"Love you."

"Love you too."

"What did you get her? I don't believe you told me yet."

"I got her and Alex a week off and they are going to the Bahamas."

"Awww, that was sweet."

"It's nothing. We get the week off too, but where we are going is a surprise."

"You and the surprises."

"I'm good for them and you deserve them."

"You are very good for surprises." I nod.

"Only the best for you."

"Like always."

"Mhm."

"And that's why I love you."

"I love you too, for so many reasons."

"And I know those reasons, I do."

"All to well."

"Well you make sure to show me almost every day."

"I do because you deserve to know."

"As you say all the time."

"It's true."

After mingling with a few people or so, Shauna comes to Nattie and Layla. Alex was talking with Tyson while she was talking to the girls.

"I'm so glad you came." She remarks as she gets a hug from them both.

"It's no problem."

"Yeah. Stef is really cool and we had a blast helping her and Mike setup for this."

"She really is a great friend. Used to have parties for me all the time before we even got to this point in our lives."

"Really? She seems like a great friend. Glad we got to meet her."

"I'm glad you got to meet her too."

"Everything is just so lovely here. It's a really great party for a great person."

"Awww, I feel special."

"That's because you are."

"I can't wait to see what you got me as a gift. I'm sure it'll be amazing."

"You're going to love it. Trust us."

"Of course. Oh, by the way did I ever show you the promise ring that Alex got me for Christmas? Not sure if I have since I've been busy with things lately."

"No!"

"Show us!"

She grins and holds out her hand, showing them the ring. Nattie pulls her hand closer to them while they look at it in awe.

"Girl, that is gorgeous!"

"I know, isn't it?"

"Yes!" They say in union.

"He just knows what I like."

"I'd say so. It's perfect for you."

"Just like him."

"Awwww."

"Then again, I kind of knew that he was before I actually knew him."

"That is just so sweet. True love right there."

"Well we do love each other." She nods.

"Everyone can see it. You're both one of the best couples in WWE right now."

"And I'm glad we got put in that tag team match last year. None of this would be happening right now if it didn't happen."

"Girl, everyone wanted you both together so it was a team effort to make that match happen."

"And I appreciate it."

"You're very welcome."

"By the way, your dress is amazing."

"He picked it out today." She laughs.

"For a guy, he has really great taste." Layla laughs.

"Well anything blue, he really likes on me."

"I can see. It really is your color."

"He just spoils me so much."

"Of course. Tyson does the same with me."

"And you two are just perfect for each other."

"Why thank you. I knew he was the one for me."

"Aww, well of course. You've been friends like all your life growing up."

"We have." She nods. "At first, I didn't like him. Then after time, I started to get a crush on him and found out he had one on me and the rest is history."

"And it's all sweet."

"I like to think so too."

"And I'm sure it's only a matter of time before you have someone in your life." Shauna says to Layla.

"I know. I'm taking it one day at a time."

"You'll find someone."

"I know I will."

After talking with them for a little while longer, Alex and her go and walk around more, stopping to talk with people at times, until they've gotten to everyone at least.

"Now that, that's done, how about we get some food and sit?"

"Good idea. I'm starting to get hungry anyway." She nods.

He then leads her over to the table with the food and they get what they want.

"This party is just amazing. Sneaky." She grins as they find a table to sit at after getting the food.

"It had to be perfect for you. Stef helped too. She really knows what you like."

"Well so do you."

"I do and I know more now."

"You'll just keep finding out more and more stuff." She nods.

"I know I will."

"You really made this the best birthday ever. Thank you."

"No need to thank me. Just want to give my girlfriend the best."

"And you did."

"Good."

"And I'm going to give you the best next month."

"I wouldn't put it past you." He chuckles.

"You can even ask Stef what I do for birthdays. I go all out."

"You did go all out for her and Mike's birthday so..."

"Oh that? I can go even more all out than that."

"Oh boy." He chuckles.

"That's why Stef and I are going to discuss ideas for your birthday, later."

"Now I know it's going to be a big party. The both of you together...never good."

"I have no idea what you're talking about." She grins.

"Sure you don't."

"I'm saying no more." She laughs.

"I'll get it out of you...or Stef."

"No, I don't think so."

"We'll see. She's pretty easy to crack."

"We'll see alright."

"It's on."

"Just try that later, don't want you going anywhere right now."

"Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere right now."

"Good. But if you do want to go talk to people on your own tonight, you can."

"Alright." He nods.

"Don't need to be by my side all night, even though I know you like to."

"I know. I'll go talk a bit after we eat."

She nods, starting to finish off the snacks that she had grabbed. Once she's done, he goes up to get her more things to eat, those being more healthy foods. He brings that back to the table and they eat with talking occasionally. After those are gone, they get up to walk around and talk to people on their own. They do that for a bit longer, everyone having a great time. After a few hours, we decide to give her the gifts we got her before cutting the cake.

"So many to open, so many to bring home." She laughs.

"That's what happens when you have so many friends."

"I see that now."

"Here. Start with ours." Nattie and Layla walk up, handing her their gift.

She grins and unwraps the box, and opens it to find a picture frame. She realizes it's one of the digital ones and she turns it on to see that there's pictures of her and Alex.

"Awww. I love this."

"We're glad."

"It's all the pictures since you both met."

"I repeat, awwww."

"That's really sweet." I comment.

"And I have the perfect spot for it at home."

"Great."

After going through everyone else's gifts, the only ones that were left were the ones from me, Mike and of course Alex. I take her gift and hand it to her.

"I really hope you like it."

"I'm sure I will. I love all of your gifts, every year."

"Of course. I do give the best ones." I joke acting sassy.

"That you do."

"Well...open, open, open!" I say excitedly.

"Okay, okay." She laughs, doing so.

Once she opens it, she looks at, reading what it is.

"Oh this is great. Definitely need this one weekend. It's perfect."

"I figured. You can never go wrong with a spa weekend."

"Not at all. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"My turn." Mike grins, handing her what he got.

"Oh boy, I wonder what this could be."

"Not as good as Stef's, but it's something."

"It's the thought that counts afterall."

"True."

"But your gifts are just as amazing."

"You mean awesome."

"Yes, awesome."

She then starts to open the envelope he gave her. Inside were two plane tickets to the Bahamas.

"The Bahamas?"

"Mhm. There's more."

"Oh? Tell me."

"You'll be there for a week and you have one of those private huts tey have."

"You got all that as a birthday gift?"

"Kinda got it for you and Alex. Two gifts on one day."

"And we can choose any week to take off?"

"Actually...it's already set for the first week in May. That was the only week I could get you both off at the same time."

"That's alright. A month after WrestleMania, after things slow down. Perfect time."

"And that is where Alex's gift comes in. You leave the night of his birthday."

"Well, that makes everything extra special."

"That's was the plan the whole time."

"And now I'm excited."

"I bet you are."

"Probably more than he is."

"I don't know...he's got that look." I snicker.

"...bathing suit..." He mumbles.

"Oh boy..."

"He's excited."

"He'll probably want to take me shopping again for all new things for that trip."

"Knowing him, he will."

"Okay spacey...what's your gift?" She asks Alex.

"Huh?" He shakes his head. "Here it is."

It's a small box, so she can only assume it's jewelry. She opens the box to reveal not one but two bracelets. One has four sets of three hearts. Each heart says something different, but it's repeated for the other sets. The hearts read 'Today', 'Tomorrow', 'Forever'.

"Awwww."

After looking at that one, she looks at the 2nd one. That has just one heart charm on it and there's an engravement on the heart, it's a date. After thinking about it for a while, she realizes it was the day that they had first met.

"Oh Alex...I love it! It's perfect."

"I'm glad."

"You even remembered the date we met."

"Of course I did. I always tell you about that day and what it meant to me."

"And that means the world to me."

"As it should, and I thought it should be remembered, by that engravement."

"Right."

"When did you get these?" She asks.

"I had a little help." He looks at me. "I had it all picked out and give Stef everything."

"Of course."

"It was to special to keep around. I had to do something creative." He laughs.

"Right. Even though you are good at hiding things from me."

"True, but I wasn't taking any chances on this."

"Understandable."

She then puts the bracelet on, admiring it.

"I'll wear these all the time."

"Great."

"So, I think I'm ready for cake now."

"On it." I say, going over and getting the cake and pushing it over on a cart.

The lights get dim as I light the candles and everyone sings happy birthday. When we're all done singing, the candles get blown out after making the wish, by her of course, and the lights come back on to normal. She ends up being sneaky and taking some of the frosting and swiping it on Alex's cheek.

"Heyy!" He does it to her.

"Oops." She laughs.

"Suure."

"I'm not getting frosting on me!" I hold my hands up, hiding behind Mike.

"Maybe later." Mike chuckles.

"Maybe as in no and later as in never."

"You'll see."

"If that happens, you're sleeping on the couch."

"Ruin the fun."

"I don't want to ruin my dress."

"You won't. I would take it off anyway myself."

"Well then...if you're good then I'll let you play with frosting later." I wink.

"I'll be good then."

"Good." I grin. "Just look how cute they are." I say, referring to her and Alex feeding each other cake.

"They really are perfect for each other." He nods, grabbing a piece of cake for us.

"It's like they were always meant to be. Soul mates."

"Some people are." He nods.

"Just like us." He adds.

"Just like us." I repeat.

"And nothing will change that."

"Nothing or anyone."

"Exactly." He grins as he kisses me quick.

"Love you."

"Love you too."

We then sit down and start to eat, feeding each other bites on the cake.

"I do wish this party would never end, but I know it has to." She remarks as she finishes the piece of cake she had.

"It doesn't have to. We can keep it going at home."

"So I can assume that I won't be changing out of this dress then when we go home?"

"Oh you will." He grins.

"You're happy that you don't have to worry about controlling yourself anymore."

"I am, plus, it's another gift I have planned for you."

"Oh really?"

"Mhm."

"I do like that idea. And you have been behaving surprisingly tonight so far."

"That's the reason I've been behaving. Get to have all my fun later."

"Of course...even though you are being a little touchy right now..."

"Oops. Sorry."

"I'll let it slide this time."

"Love you." He kisses her cheek.

"Love you too. And I think you missed there."

He grins, kissing her quickly.

"That's better."

"Good."

"So much to bring home tonight."

"There is, but we'll get it. If not, maybe Stef and Mike can take some and we can get it tomorrow."

"Right." She nods.

"We'll do that before we leave, right now...time to have fun."

"Exactly."

They sit there for a bit before deciding to get and dance a bit since there was some music playing. "How are you ever going to top this next year?" She laughs.

"I don't know, but I'll think of something."

"I know you will."

"Of course."

"Because that's how great you are." She says before resting her head on his shoulder.

"Only for you." He kisses the top of her head.

"Good."

Everyone keeps dancing for about an hour or so before they decide to leave since it was getting late. After everyone said goodbye, Mike and I were the last ones there.

"This was a great party. Thank you."

"You're welcome. Anything for a great friend...I mean sister."

"Before I forget...those ideas you had for Alex's birthday that we needed to discuss?"

"Alright." I nod. "Mike, help Alex take everything to the car and what won't fit, put in ours. Shauna and I need to talk."

"Will do." He nods.

While they do that, her and I go over to the far corner and sit at a table.

"Alright, so what were your ideas?"

"Well, I was thinking since he loves football we could have a football themed party for him. I can rent out one of those arena football league places and we can have it there. Now, with you both leaving the night of his birthday, that makes it perfect. We can have the party the day before since it's a Saturday and they have a game on that Sunday. That's just a small idea I had."

"That's a great idea."

"You think? I've been debating about it for some time now and that's the one I really like."

"It's perfect."

"Good. Anything you want to add to it or change about it? I may even be able to get a player or two there. Old friends, ya know."

"Right, and I definitely don't want to change anything about it."

"Okay. We'll talk decorations and everything another time. I can sense someone trying to be nosey." I laugh.

"Alex...no trying to find out what's planned for your birthday next month." She laughs.

"I don't know what you're talking about." He acts innocent.

"I told you to leave them alone." Mike slaps him upside the head.

"Ow." Alex rubs his head. "I was leaving them alone."

"That was not leaving them alone."

"Busted." I snicker to her.

"Looks like I'll have to now think about letting him have his fun when we go home."

"No no no. I'm sorry. I heard nothing. I was just letting you know we're almost done. I wasn't spying, honest."

"Are you sure now?"

"Yes. Totally absolutely one hundred percent sure."

"Alright then."

"We just have a few more things then we'll be ready to go." Mike says.

"Okay. Did you have to use both cars for the stuff?"

"We were able to get it all in one car. We'll come over tomorrow to help unpack it all."

"Ah, okay."

"You both can get in the cars. We just have two last things then we're set."

"Alright." She nods, before both her and I get up from the table.

We walk out to the cars, talking about a few things and how the party went. We stand by the cars talking for a bit while the guys pack the car. Once they are done, we hug each other then get in the cars.

"And now time to go back home." Mike says as me and him get into our car.

"I can't wait. My feet are killing me." I laugh, kicking my shoes off.

"Could've taken those off sooner if you wanted to."

"I could have, but they went so well with the outfit."

"They did." He nods.

"I did take them off while we sat, but all the dancing did it."

"Right. That'll do it."

"And trying to get away from you. Mister touchy."

"Oops?"

"Yeah, yeah." I give him a look. "Just makes me think more about letting you have frosting time since I brought some cake home."

"You're still considering it though right?"

"Hmm...thinking about it, yes."

"Well as long as you're still thinking about it."

"Yeah and I thought about it..."

"...and?"

"You'll find out when we get home." I smirk.

"Make me wait."

"It's more fun for me that way."

"Of course."

It isn't to long until we arrive back at the house and when we do, he parks the car and we get out, him locking it. We then head up to the door, him unlocking it and we walk in.

"Okay, we're home. Still gonna make me wait, or are you gonna tell me?"

"What do you think?"

"Well you haven't put the cake away so..."

"You're right. I haven't."

"So it's a yes then?"

"Would I ever deny you?"

"No, not really."

"Then..." I get some frosting on my finger, putting it on his lips then licking it off. "...let's go."

He quickly locks the door before picking me up and carrying me to the bedroom, eager.

"Someone's in a rush." I laugh.

"Your fault."

"Sorry?"

"Uh huh."

"Wait...I missed some." I grin, licking it off the corner of his mouth.

"So good." I add.

"Oh you're so going to get it." He stutters just as he reaches the bedroom.

"Bring it." I whisper in his ear, nipping at his earlobe after.

He goes over to the bed and sets me down, before going over to the door, shutting and locking it, before he turns around to face me again.

"Uh oh...you locked the door and you have that look..."

"And it's all because of you."

"Sowwy."

"Suuure."

"I am...I'll even spot you." I take some frosting and put it on my neck. "See?"

"Oh so even more tempting now.."

"Come get it, unless you want me to take it off?"

"No no, that's my job."

"Well, what are you waiting for?"

"Absolutely nothing." He smirks, as he walks back over, climbing onto the bed, hovering over me before he kisses me once on the lips, before moving to where the frosting was.

My arms go around his neck and he wastes no time in working on getting the frosting off. I tighten my arms around him, arching into him the more he works on the spot.

"...Mike..." I try getting his attention. "...I think it's...all off...now..." I say as he keeps going.

"...not done...yet..."

I cling to him since he let his hands wander, running up my leg, under my dress slightly, lifting my leg up. He lightly moved his fingers over my skin, making he shiver. He smirks against my skin, before starting to move away from the spot where he had gotten all the frosting off, and starts heading for my lips, leaving long and lingering kisses. Once he reaches my lips, I kiss him back rough and eagerly. My hands run through his hair, moving the the bottom of his hair, lightly moving over the skin of his neck. Then I start to help him remove the clothes he had on, starting with his suit jacket. After I get it off his shoulders, he moves his hands, shrugging it off the rest of the way while I start to work on his vest. I get that done then start to work on his shirt, getting them both off at the same time. When those are off, I run my hands over all the new skin I can touch, slowly making my way to his pants, undoing his belt. After I get the belt, I go for his pants, but he stops me.

"Before you go any further...you next." He grins.

"Go for it."

He moves so that I can stand, so it's easier to remove it. He starts from the bottom and pulls it up and over my head. Once it's off, that gets tossed to the side and his lips go back to mine as we're back on the bed. His hands wander over all the new skin he can now touch, my clinging to him. After a bit, he pulls away and reaches for the cake. He smirks, taking some frosting on his finger, putting it on certain spots. He then leans down to work on getting it off, taking his time as he goes, driving me crazy as I tug at his hair.

"You're right...this is good." He mumbles.

"The frosting or...the torture?"

"Well I already know the torture is good...so the frosting."

"...so getting...you back..."

"I know."

He smirks, pressing his lips back to mine, letting his hands wander. I kiss him back hard, harder then before. I move my hands back to his pants, him letting me this time. I get them undone and tug them down as far as they can go. He kicks them off the rest of the way then has a bit more fun before pulling the blanket slightly over us, not wasting anytime in making the night a long one. Alex and Shauna in the meantime have just gotten home themselves. They didn't bring everything from the party inside with them, but they did take the important stuff like the cake because that needed to be put in the fridge as soon as they got inside. She also had grabbed the digital picture frame gift, because she wanted to put that in the place she knew it would go.

"You go ahead and head up to the bedroom, I'll put the cake away and meet you up there." He suggests.

"Alright." She nods, heading for the stairs.

"And remember, no getting undressed, because that's my job tonight."

"I know. I'll just take my shoes and jewelry off tonight."

"Good." He says, before she heads up the stairs and into the bedroom, where she goes and put the picture frame where she wanted it to be on the nightstand on her side.

She then decides to play the slide show of pictures again, as she sits on the side of the bed and takes her shoes and jewelry off, the jewelry going on the nightstand as well. It's not to long after that, he comes up the stairs into the room to see her looking at the pictures again. He closes the door and locks it, before coming over and climbing onto the bed behind her. He wraps his arms around her waist from behind and rests his chin on her shoulder.

"That is a great spot for it."

"It's perfect. Now I get to see it whenever I wake up or go to bed."

"Without that tag team match last year, I don't think we would be here right now. You know, it was a team effort to make that match happen for us."

"Really? That I did not know, but I'm so glad it happened."

"I guess everyone knew that we just had to end up together."

"It would seem that way. I knew we would be together, but I didn't know when."

"Well I'm happy it happened sooner rather than later."

"Me too. It was killing me not to come home with you every night."

"Awww."

"What can I say? You were the one for me and I knew it right away. I had to have you with me."

"Touche."

"However...this needs to come off." He plays with her dress.

"It does...doesn't it?" She grins.

"Yes. Like now."

"Gonna be kinda hard with us sitting down, don't you think?"

"Of course. I was going to have you stand up."

"Well...gonna have to let me go first."

"Right." He reluctantly does so.

"Alright...I'm ready." She says as she stands.

He sits there looking her over a bit before standing up and running his hands up her arms to the shoulder of the dress, slowly pulling it down while kissing her shoulder. As he continues to kiss her shoulder, he starts to pull the dress itself down, inch by inch, taking his time so he tortures her just a little for now. When he gets it down to a point where he can't reach, he stops kissing her shoulder to pull the dress down the rest of the way until it's on the floor and she has to step out of it.

"Gorgeous." He looks her over, hands wandering.

"As always."

"All mine." He pulls her closer to him, brushing his lips over hers.

"Yes...all yours."

"Forever."

"As the bracelet says."

"Because it's true."

"Of course. Now, do I get to take something of yours off, or do I have to wait?"

"I suppose you can take one thing off for now."

"Good...because I already know what that'll be." She says as her hands go to his shirt.

"Have at it." He chuckles.

She grins before pressing her lips back to his, and then proceeding to undo every button. She doesn't rush, but when she gets to the last button and get that undone, she lets her hands wander and her fingers drag across his skin as she moves to his shoulders and help get it off. He shrugs it off then his arms go around her as he gives her a boost and carries her to the bed without breaking the kiss. He lays her on the bed, him hovering her while he keeps the kiss going and let his hands wader, slow, very slowly and lightly over her skin. Since she's lost in the kiss, all she does is make a small noise, which tells him that he's getting to her already. Her hands also have gone to his hair and her fingers run through it at times. He smirks into the kiss, his one hand resting on her hip while the other goes to her thigh, resting there for now. With his hand on her thigh, it does make her keep wondering when he's going to do what he usually does. The more he waits, the more anxious she gets, and the more she wonders when she should be expecting him to do so. He waits a bit longer, wanting her to be lost in the kiss and when he feels she is, he squeezes down on her thigh. That causes her to not only cling to him, but to arch into him and the hand that was in his hair ends up tugging on it, and she makes louder noises than before. He smiles triumphantly into the kiss, moving that hand so it's on her hip. After a bit, he starts to play with what she has left on, but she stops him. She moves her hands from his head, slowly moving them down his arms and chest to the waist of his pants, working on getting his belt off then working on getting his pants undone. Once she gets them down as far as she can reach, he kicks them off the rest of the way, not caring where they land. He again goes for what she has left on, and this time she does allow him to go for it. He eagerly start to remove what she has left on, kissing every inch of skin he can while taking his time. She tugs at his hair more the longer he takes. When he feels she's enough, he makes his way back to her lips.
