I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Tuesday-
Adora's Point of View-
I woke up when my alarm went off, I went and showered to get ready for the drive home with my sister, Mike and we are 'supposed' to drop Alex off at the airport. Alex had told me that he wasn't flying home and that he was going to stay here in LA to hang out with me since next weekend the shows are going to be in LA, he said that he was going to get a rental car or a cab to drive him from the airport to his hotel and vice versa on Friday. He said that he wanted to take me out alone during the week, so I had to find a way to sneak out to go on dates with him. Maryse and I did our morning routines but I finished earlier than expected so I sat on the bed watching my sister finish her routine.
"Maryse….Alex isn't flying back to Florida." I said, I figured she will get it more than Mike.
"Then where is he going?" Maryse asked as she walked into the bathroom grabbing rest of her things.
"He's going to stay in a hotel in LA…he wants to take me out this week." I said.
"How are you going to explain that to Mike?" Maryse asked as she set her stuff down on the bed next to her suitcase.
"I thought you will be able to help me with that." I said.
"Um…" Maryse said, "I'll think of something okay…" Maryse said smiling as I knew I could trust her when a knock came to the door, I jumped off going to the door opening it for Mike and Alex.
"Hey guys…" I said smiling as I opened the door further to let them come in for a few moments while Maryse checked us out and I was getting our things ready to go. We went down to the car we had parked in the parking lot last night after the show, Maryse and Mike haven't been going out like they usually do on tour because Mike was afraid of Alex and I hanging out or other reasons, he believes that we are dating, I mean he's not wrong to believe that because we are but I don't want to act like we aren't though. We climbed into the car, I buckled up and looked to Alex as he just got his buckle fastened, he looked up to me smiling as Mike begun the 6 hour drive back to LA. We stopped by LAX to drop Alex off for his non-existent flight to Florida, I texted him when we cleared the area. We went home and I hurriedly went in the house to unpack in case he wanted to go out tonight but who knows with Alex, but I still had to think of a logical reason for me to leave without one of them coming with me unless if Maryse went with me but didn't go with me, but even then Mike will find a way to come with. My phone started ringing, I picked it up running into my room so that Mike won't be able to hear my conversation wit Alex.
"Hey sweetie…" Alex said.
"Hey, you get checked in?" I asked sitting on my bed smiling.
"Yeah, I am about to shower up before coming to pick you up, you still want to go out?"
"Why wouldn't I want to go out?" I asked.
"Because of Mike…."
"I think that you have dated Mike enough this weekend, I think you kind of need some alone time with me." I said.
"Very true….it'll be nice, I don't mind Mike but it was kind of awkward…"
"I was there…what do you have planned?"
"You'll see." Alex said.
"I'll see you later…text me before you leave." I said.
"I'll do better than that, I'll call you…"
"Okay…" I said as I smiled before we said our good-byes hanging up. I went into my closet finding a new outfit taking it with me into my own bathroom taking a shower and getting into my new outfit that I thought would fit anything that he has planned for tonight. As I was taking a shower, I was trying to find the perfect excuse to tell Mike about where I'm going rather than the truth when I thought of the perfect lie and that was I was going to get picked up by Claudia to go shopping for wardrobe things for this weekends events. But would this outfit be too much for that? Maybe we'll go out to eat or go do something else, or that I just wanted to look nice because I don't know who else may be there. I then went to my phone changing the ringtone that Alex had so Mike won't know it was Alex calling since Mike knew what Alex's ringtone, he just didn't know it was Alex but a different Alex that I don't even know. I began doing other things such as doing my hair, make-up and accessorizing before I grabbed my purse and phone heading out of the room sitting on the couch next to my sister who was enjoying a book.
"Why are you dressed up?" Mike asked.
"Claudia wants to go hang out and discuss the attires I had designed among just hanging out to get to know each other outside of work." I said.
"Why are you dressed like that then?" Mike asked
"I don't know where she wants to go or what she has planned." I said shrugging.
"Do you need a ride?" Mike offered.
"No, she said she'll pick me up…" I said.
"She knows where we live?" Maryse asked jumping in.
"I gave her your address and she said she has a GPS." I said.
"I'm surprised you even know our address." Mike said.
"I do too…" I said hoping to god he doesn't challenge me on it.
"Does it matter if you do or not?" Maryse asked stepping in, I think she knew I didn't know the address and was saving me the explanation of how I can tell Claudia if I didn't even know.
"When is she going to be here?" Mike asked.
"Any minute, she said she'll call when she got here or when she was leaving the hotel." I said.
"She doesn't live in LA?" Mike asked.
"Not that I know of, I think she is in LA for business so I think she is going to bring me with her on some things so I might be in and out of the house to do business with her." I said hoping that will deal with Mike if Alex wants to hit the beach again or wants to do something during the day.
"That is a sucky way to spend your break." Mike said.
"Hey, I would do anything to stay with this company and keep my job…I love it." I said.
"You wouldn't do it if you didn't love it." Mike said when my phone begun to ring, I looked at the screen seeing Alex's name and I knew that I must be very subtle on what I say so they won't know that I was talking to Alex instead of Claudia. I picked it up after the 2nd or 3rd ring putting it up to my ear afterwards.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Hey sweetie, you ready?"
"Yeah, I'm ready to go…are you on the way?" I asked.
"Yep, you want me to pull around the corner?"
"Yeah, that'll be for the best….I'll meet you outside." I said.
"Okay…see you soon." Alex said as I hung up and stood up putting my phone back into my pocket.
"Where are you going?" Maryse asked.
"I am going outside to wait for Claudia, she's on her way and she wants me to wait outside to make sure she gets the right house." I said.
"Oh okay, we won't wait up…" Maryse said as I walked outside and made my way to the drive way slowly walking across it trying to entertain myself until Alex had pulled up stopping on the street.
"Jump in!" Alex yelled out of his window, I smiled instantly as I ran over to the passenger side jumping into the car as fast as I could before Mike could catch a glimpse of what car I was in or who was actually driving. "You look beautiful tonight." Alex said as he reached over grabbing my hand as I was still buckling up.
"More than usual?" I asked jokingly.
"You look more beautiful every time I see you." Alex said.
"I don't think that is possible." I said.
"It is…" Alex said as he turned around and headed back the way we came.
"Where are we going?" I asked curiously.
"We are going to go get some dinner then we are going to go dancing."
"At a club?"
"Not really." Alex said smiling as I guess I just felt confident in him to plan something that we will both enjoy. "What does Mike think your doing?" Alex asked.
"He thinks I'm out with Claudia to go over my designs…."
"Now I'm a chick?"
"You've been a chick, every time you call he thinks your Alexandria, a girl I went to school with and models." I said laughing a tad.
"Your so sneaky…would I make a cute girl?"
"Please don't try to pull off a girl look…" I said.
"Why not? I think I can pull it off…" Alex said.
"You probably could, it's sad to say you'll probably look better than I do as a girl."
"I doubt that…" Alex said.
"You want to make a bet?" I asked.
"No…because I don't think it would pan out well for either one of us."
"Why's that?" I asked as he turned down another street.
"Either I will look better than I thought as a girl or I will be comfortable in your clothing and decide to cross dress for rest of my life."
"You won't find our clothes comfortable…"
"You don't feel comfortable in them?"
"I'm only comfortable in them because I have lived in them my whole life and I have learned tricks while in my designing classes to adjust the clothes to make the person feel comfortable with what they are wearing." I said as he pulled into a parking lot
"Maybe you can help with my trunks….I mean….I mean, use one of your tricks…"
"I know what you meant Alex…why are you so awkward about that?"
"You were the one that was uncomfortable about sex on our first date…"
"Okay, we are both uncomfortable about things sexually."
"I'm not uncomfortable about sex, just uncomfortable discussing my junk."
"Your junk huh?" I asked as I unbuckled and went to open my door.
"I got it…" Alex said as he climbed out, running around opening the door for me, he stuck his hand out helping me stand to my feet and we stood face to face, I smiled as I pushed a strand of hair behind my ear, I leant forward pressing my lips to his for a small kiss. "What's that for?"
"Do I have to have a reason to kiss you?"
"No…" Alex said as I stepped out of the way of the door and he shut the door, he grabbed my hand as we headed into the restaurant, he pulled the door open letting me walk in first and he pulled the second door open seeing the inside of the restaurant liking it already.
"What restaurant is this?" I asked.
"Chili's, it isn't the most fanciest restaurant but it is better than Denny's like last time." Alex said as the hostess took us to a seat and there were television screens playing different games of different sports.
"This is pretty neat that they play different sports so you won't miss a single minute." I said smiling.
"I do too…but I have a hard time catching the games with the way the schedules work out but I do try to record them at home but they sometimes go over what they are supposed to be ending." Alex said.
"I hate when shows go over and you miss the end of it."
"Me too….I always end up recording it and if I end up missing the end, I'm sure you can find it online somehow." Alex said as he opened the menu to look at it as I grabbed the deals to see what they had.
"They have a 2 for $20 deal." I said reading it.
"They still do that?" Alex asked setting his menu down.
"Obviously if I'm looking at it." I said smiling.
"You want to do that?" Alex asked as he grabbed the other side of it turning for both of us to look at.
"That looks good." I said pointing to the nachos that they had on there.
"You want to get those as our appetizer?"
"If that's okay with you."
"Yeah, I love nachos…" Alex said as I just chuckled the way he said it as I begun reading the entrees that you could get that was a part of that deal when the server came taking our orders. "I'm kind of glad it's a date with you…the last weekend it felt like I was dating Mike than I was you…" Alex said.
"Sorry about that…he's kind of freaked out about everything, he did it out the goodness of his heart." I said.
"I know but he is ridiculous." Alex said.
"He was quite ridiculous, I can't believe you let him put sun block on you…" I said laughing.
"What was I going to tell him?"
"No, that you would rather burn."
"He wouldn't let me…I'm his tag partner, remember?"
"Yeah, I don't see him letting you be burnt because he would only let you be tanned that's it." I said chuckling.
"He is very concerned about making sure I'm tan."
"How so?"
"He double checks to make sure I spray tan before the shows…" Alex said.
"Does he spray tan you?"
"Not recently…if he thinks I haven't he would, probably more so now because I think he is afraid you would."
"I would totally put a spray tan on you."
"That sounded more sexy than you had attended." Alex said when our drinks and nachos were set onto the table for us to start drinking and munching on.
"That sounded sexy? I need to remember not to be sexy."
"Only when Mike is around when you can't say things like that to me."
"Why not?" I asked teasingly as I took a bite from a nacho.
"Because I would have to do this." He said as he leant against the table pushing his lips against mine for a passionate kiss that I have never gotten from him before, my mind was blown.
"Whoa…" I said after he broke the kiss, he was still leaning over the table with his face mere inches from me smirking.
"Didn't expect that did you?"
"No…but is it bad for me to say it's hot in here?" I asked and he laughed more before he sat back to normal.
"Drink some of your soda to cool down." Alex said smiling as I took a sip of my drink.
"Yeah, Mike wouldn't enjoy seeing that…" I said when Alex's face went stone faced and it was weird, "What?" I asked, he pointed to the door, I turned seeing Mike and Maryse walking in. "Shit, come on!" I said sliding out grabbing Alex's hand dragging him towards the back door that they used for take out orders only going out those doors without paying for what we had bought which I have never done before and we had to run around the back of the building so they couldn't see us through the windows.
"That was close but yet it got my heart beating…" Alex said smiling as we got into his car.
"I don't know why they are here…" I said as I couldn't believe I just ruined our whole date pretty much, at least I felt like I ruined our date.
"They were probably hungry and known Maryse she didn't know we were there per say…we will go find something else to eat, hell we just skipped out on paying that meal we have extra money to spend." Alex said smiling and giggling.
"It's not funny Alex."
"Come on Addie, it's pretty funny." Alex said.
"I ruined this whole date." I said.
"You didn't ruin the date…I'm having a blast…I know what we can do…" Alex said as he started the car.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"You'll see…" Alex said smiling as he pulled out of the parking lot not telling me where he was taking me now.
