*Thanks for all the reviews on the last chapter. Thank-you. You guys are great!
"Well, I hope you're happy that you're in Asia and not sitting in a courtroom right now," said Alex as she talked to Dave on the phone.
"Vince wouldn't give me time off," he said.
"That's bullshit, Dave and you know it. Vince wouldn't have any problem with you taking a couple days off from the Asian tour to go to court about custody for your kids. It would serve you right if the courts found out about you rescheduling the court hearing because of your job. That has 'don't give me custody of my kids' written all over it," she said.
"How is that going to prevent me from getting my kids?"
"Because they'll see how you chose your career over them. Do you think they're going to give the kids to someone that chooses their career first or someone that chooses their kids first. I'm really upset with you, Dave. You should be in Washington DC doing what's best for your kids but no you're selfish and you're looking out for you and what you want."
"Alex, would you just calm down," he said. "When I get back in a couple weeks we will go to DC and go to court to do what's best for the kids."
"Whatever," said Alex as she unpacked some kitchen things in the new house. "And I find it ridiculous that you're over in Asia and I'm here unpacking boxes in the house. You should be here for this."
"I know. I wish I could be there but I can't. I'm the number one…"
"You're the number one contender for the WWE championship. I get it. I understand it but just because you're going for the championship doesn't mean you can neglect your responsibilities."
"I'm not neglecting any responsibilities. I'm doing my job."
"Okay, Dave," she said. "It's whatever. I'm not even worried about it anymore," she said. "So I guess it's okay for me to move all this heavy furniture by myself too right?"
"You're not pregnant. You'll be fine."
"And it's a good thing I'm not pregnant because your ass would be here if I was."
"Anyway, how do you like the house so far?"
"I love it but it would be even better if you were here," she said.
"I'll be home soon and then we can enjoy the house together. Is the alarm activated?"
"Yeah and they finally came to hook up the cable and phone line today."
"I promise when I get back I will do as much as I can around the house. Just leave the heavy furniture as is. I'll handle it. I'm sorry for saying what I said."
"It's okay," she said. "You're probably tired from all your traveling and I understand that. I wish I went to Asia with you."
"I wish you were here too but maybe next time," he said.
"Yeah. Maybe. I wanted to go to the Philippines with you but it is what it is."
"I know. How are you feeling now?"
"Better," she said. "The doctor said it was tonsillitis. Which it really sucked. He gave me some medicine and I'm feeling much better now. He said next time I get it my tonsils are getting removed."
"At least you're feeling better. Don't over do yourself," he said.
"I don't plan to. I can't believe I get it right before the Asian tour. It couldn't come the week after or the week before. It had to be that week. I am so upset."
"It's okay, Alex. We'll go to Asia again. Does your throat still hurt?"
"A little but not as much as it did. I've been eating ice-cream and lots of cold stuff. It helps."
"That's good. Well, Alex it's getting really late here so I'm going to go. I will talk to you later. I love you."
"I love you too," she said. "Bye, Baby."
"Bye," he said as he hung up the phone. While he was in Asia he was rooming with Randy because John had brought Mel along with him so they roomed together. Dave wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea of rooming with Randy but he had to deal with it. He didn't like the idea of how even though Randy had a girlfriend he was still crushing on Alex. Dave put his cell phone down on the night stand and laid back in his bed.
"How is she feeling?" asked Randy.
"She's feeling better. She said her throat still hurts but not as bad as it did before."
"That's good. I'm glad she's feeling better," he said.
"I bet you are," said Dave.
"Dude, what is your beef with me?" asked Randy.
"The fact you're still crushing on my fiancé. You need to back off."
"Dave, I'm not crushing on anyone. Your fiancé just happens to be a good friend of mine. Is there a problem with that?"
"Actually I do," said Dave. "I think you two need to spend less time talking to each other and stop hugging one another. I know you get a free feel from it."
"Dave, I don't know what the issue is with Alex and me being friends. She's a cool girl. She's fun to hang out with. And we confide in each other about stuff."
"Like what?" asked Dave.
"If I told you I would be breaking our secrecy rule.'
"Whatever. I'm her fiancé she should be confiding in me," said Dave.
"You need to chill dude. There are some things she just doesn't feel comfortable confiding in you."
"Like what?" asked Dave.
"Again. That would go against our secrecy rule. Trust me it's nothing bad."
"Okay," said Dave, "but I still don't like you talking to her."
"Dave, we're just friends. If I wanted to make a move on her I would have done it already. I'm being respectful of you and not making a move on her. I do like her but we're just friends and that's all it's going to be. She loves you. You are her entire world. She isn't going to screw up what she has. But you don't mind screwing up every chance you get with her," said Randy.
"I haven't screwed up with her since Melina. That was it. I don't plan on screwing up with her again. I love her. She means everything to me. And I feel bad because I should be home with her while she's sick helping her unpack but I'm here in Asia. I should have taken off for this tour."
"Did I just hear you say that? Did you just say that you should have taken time off because of her being sick?"
"Yes, Randy. I know my priorities. Well, sort of. I was supposed to go to court this week to get custody of my girls but I blew it off and came here. Alex is pretty pissed at me about that. I know Vince wouldn't give me time off."
"Why is she pissed?" asked Randy.
"Because she thinks this is a sign of things to come between us. She's scared that when we have kids our kids are going to play second to wrestling. She thinks she's going to be second to wrestling. I'm trying to assure her that it will never be put before her."
"Oh," said Randy. He knew about that because that was one of the things Alex talked about with him. She would always tell Randy how much she loves Dave but the one thing she couldn't stand was how he put wrestling in front of everything that mattered in life. It was partly true and it was getting worse since he came back from injury. He was getting more and more involved in wrestling and less and less involved in his personal life. Randy could understand why it had Alex so upset. She expressed her displeasure with Dave to him all the time. "Well, Dave, in Alex's defense you are getting a little too obsessed about the business. You can be a champion any time or get the championship shot anytime but the moments with Alex are more important. She's going to be your wife and the mother of your children. You owe her the respect of putting her in front of this business. I know the whole WWE is hectic and you hardly get days off but you can still make her feel important and make her feel like wrestling isn't more important than her to you."
"I do put her in front of the business. I do it all the time. So I don't know why we're having this discussion."
"All right," said Randy. "Take it easy, Bro. I think you need some sleep."
"You might be right but I think I need my fiancé more. I miss her. Think I can send her flowers from here?"
"I would say call the local flower company in Tampa and have flowers sent to her," said Randy.
"Okay," said Dave. "I just don't know any," he said..
"Ask John. He would know since he lives in Tampa too."
"I'm not interrupting Mel and John. Mel is just like Alex. She enjoys her alone time with her man."
"How do you know?"
"Trust me I know. Alex and Mel are alike in more ways than you would think," he said. "I think it's because they grew up together. It's funny when they're together because they can finish each other's sentences and it's like they know what the other one is thinking. They're pretty close. Sometimes a little too close for comfort."
"Uh huh," said Randy. "Are they wild?"
"I will not comment on that kind of stuff but you already know Alex is wild. I can only imagine the type of bachelorette party Mel is planning for her. That will be a wild night."
"Alex took the fun out of your bachelor party. Since she said no Vegas. Vegas would be f**king awesome, Man. Just think about it. It would be the best night of your life."
"Randy, I'm pretty sure my wedding night will be the best night of my life."
"Okay, the best night of your life up until your wedding night. Vegas would be f**king awesome. It would be the wildest night ever."
"I'm sure it would be but just think about how much trouble I could get into in Vegas."
"That's true," said Randy. "We should probably stay away from Vegas then but you're still going to have the best bachelor party ever."
"As long as it doesn't end up with me sleeping with another woman other than Alex then it will be good."
"Trust me. You will be so drunk you won't even be able to get it up to have sex with another female."
"I don't know," said Dave, "I can get pretty drunk with Alex and have no problem getting it up to have sex with her."
"That's true too," said Randy. "That's because you two are nymphos. Every time I turn around you guys are all over each other, disappearing for a while then coming back. Is that all you two do?"
"No. Not really," said Dave. "We watch movies and talk. I just try to stay on her good side though."
"Why?"
"Because if I get on her bad side she holds out on me. Right now. I'm on her bad side."
"That sucks man. I guess you better try to get on her good side."
"I know. I hate how women use sex as an award system. If they're happy with what you've done or what you're doing they have no problem giving it to you. If you're doing something they don't like or you've done something they don't like they hold out on you. What the f**k is up with that?"
"A woman using her sexuality as leverage to get what she wants."
"I guess I should just be glad that she's not a virgin," said Dave.
"If she was a virgin would you be marrying her?"
"Yeah. I'd still love her the same. Although I would be trying my hardest to get in her pants but still try to respect her decision. I'm telling you Randy. The way her mom drills no sex before marriage into her head I'm really surprised she's not a virgin. I think her mom telling her not to have sex before marriage makes her do it more. When we were there for Thanksgiving. She had sex with me out of spite for her mom. Her mom annoys the shit out of me though, Dude. Wait until we go to get fitted for Tuxedos next week and you meet her mom since we'll be in NYC. She's a f**king bitch. I don't want to be disrespectful to my future mother in law but it's true. I'm glad Alex and me live in Florida far away from her. And Alex is funny because she ignores her calls all the time."
"Is she going to hate me?"
"Probably," said Dave.
"I'll just work my ladies man charm on her and she'll love me."
"Randy, I highly doubt that. Just be respectful around her. And she has these stupid rules. Alex and me are staying in the hotel or at Mel's while we're there next week instead of at her mom's house."
"Why?"
"Because she doesn't let us sleep in the same room."
"Why?"
"Because she doesn't believe in sex before marriage. Plus Alex said it's disrespectful to be unmarried and take a man up to your room. Even though she did it anyway. She's a little rebel. I'll tell you. She's going to have a kid just like her one day and she's going to regret her rebel behavior when she has a teenager that does everything to spite her. I know it because Keilani is just like I was when I was younger. And that's the curse of having a kid just like you but 10 times worse."
"My mom used to tell me that all the time."
"So did mine. And now I see how true it is."
"You do know when you say Alex is going to have a kid just like her it will be 50% yours too right?"
"Yeah," said Dave, "And I can just imagine with her genes and my genes mixed together how our child will be. As long as all of our children get her brains I am good."
"Let's hope they have her brains. I would feel really bad if they got stuck with your brain cells."
"I'm not that stupid but Alex is so much smarter," he said.
"And that's why whenever you try to run game on Alex she will slay you because she is smarter, thinks quicker and beat you at your own game. Don't cross that line with her, Dave."
"I won't," said Dave. "I promise I won't." They continued talking for a little while longer about Alex and the business. Dave had some really big plans for his wrestling career and his career in general. It was nice that he had big plans as to where he was going and what he was going to do but the only problem was he never discussed them with Alex. And he knew when she found out what he had planned she was going to be pissed.
A few days later Alex was sitting in the living room reading a magazine waiting for Dave to come home from the Asian tour. They had one day to spend together in their new house until they had to leave for New York. Alex was still upset with Dave for rescheduling his court date for custody of the girls just so he could go to Asia. She was sitting there when she heard the door open. "Alex, Babe, I'm home," said Dave as he came in the front door and laid his bags down at the front door.
Alex threw the magazine down and ran to Dave and wrapped her arms around him. "Welcome home, Baby," she said as she kissed his lips.
"You're not still contagious are you?" he asked as he pulled away.
"No," she said, "and what does it matter? Last year you had sex with me when I had strep throat."
"Last year I wasn't on my way to Wrestlemania for a title match."
"Oh yeah. That's right," she said less than thrilled removing her arms from around his neck. "Anyway. Welcome home," she said as she walked into the kitchen to get a bottle of water and to take her birth control pill.
He followed her into the kitchen and said, "What's the matter, Babe?"
"Nothing," said Alex as she took out her pill and popped it in her mouth. She drank it down with a sip of water. "It's just nothing, Dave," she said. "So how was Asia?"
"Alex, it was great! Especially the Philippines. I really wish you could have been there for that. I was like their hero. I never had so many people behind me in my life. I had autograph signings and everything. They were packed every time. It was just a beautiful place. Next year when we go you definitely have to come," he said.
"It sounds great," she said. "I really wish I could have gone but I got sick so there's always next year."
"Yeah. I'm sorry you got sick," he said.
"It's okay. It happens," she said.
"I missed you," he said as he walked behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed the top of her head.
"I missed you too," she said. "It sucked being in this house by myself."
"I bet," he said. "And I missed this," he said as he turned her around and kissed her passionately. As he kissed her he had his hands wander all over her body. He went to lift her shirt over her head but she put her hand in between them and held her shirt down. "Come on, Alex," he said. "It's been so long."
"Dave, I'm still pissed at you. We're not having sex now or tonight," she said.
"Alex," he said giving her his cutest expression hoping she wouldn't say no. "I'm sorry for rescheduling my court hearing for custody. I won't do it again. From here on out wrestling is number 2 to my family." he started kissing down her neck.
"Dave. Mmm," she said. She couldn't resist him kissing her neck but she had to get her point across and pushed him away. "Stop. Seriously. I'm trying my hardest to upset with you," she said. "I can't have you doing this taking my mind off it."
"Well, maybe you're not supposed to be upset with me," he said as he continued kissing her neck. "You know we haven't celebrated moving into this house yet. I think we should."
"I think I will pass," she said escaping him under his arm.
"Oh come on, Alex, you're going to make this hard for me aren't you?"
"Pretty much," she said with a smile. "How about I give you a tour of the house? And we'll see where we end up."
"You already unpacked everything and decorated the house?"
"Well, when my fiancé is in a completely different country and I have nothing else to do I get a little bored. So I decided to do some work on the house but then it ended up all being finished."
"All right, give me a tour," he said. "I want to see what you've come up with," he said taking her hand. She showed him the kitchen first since they were already in there. "I like it," he said looking in the cupboards. "I won't know where anything is but I like it," he said. "Did you use your beloved oven or stove yet?"
"Actually, I used the oven to make cookies," she said.
"You made cookies?" he asked with a smile.
"Yeah," she said. "Oatmeal and raisin."
"Awesome," he said. He looked at the refrigerator and saw magnets, Athena's, Keilani's, Rosey's, Samantha's and Nayloni's pictures on it. "When did you get that picture of Rosey?"
"Yesterday. Rosalia sent it to us. Isn't it cute?"
"Very cute," he said. She then showed him what she did with the dining room. He was amazed at all the hard work she put into setting up the house as they walked through the living room he was even more impressed. She arranged Keilani's and Athena's pictures in a unique way but he liked it. On the mantle she had the picture collage of them along with smaller pictures of the girls from ice skating, dance and other things. "Did you hook all that stuff up to the TV yourself?"
"Yeah," she said, "Why? I know how to read directions."
"I was just curious," he said. "You did a great job down here, Baby," he said as he kissed her.
"Thanks," she said. She took him upstairs and showed him the guest rooms, then she showed him Keilani's room and Athena's room. "I don't know if they'll like it but I tried," she said. "And hopefully they'll be here in the next two months."
"Hopefully. I'm sure Athena is going to love this room," he said looking around. The room was a sea green which was Athena's favorite color at least for now until she changed her mind again. Her bed was covered in a blue, green and white comforter. It was the way she would want it to be. He wasn't too sure how Keilani would react to her room because for some reason Keilani was holding a big grudge against Alex and it didn't look like she was going to give up anytime soon. He just wanted Keilani to like her but he was starting to think that was impossible. She took him down to an empty room with nothing in it. It was just a room with white walls and no carpet. "What's this room supposed to be?" he asked.
"Well," said Alex, "I didn't put anything in here because this is the room I picked to be a nursery for when we have a baby."
"Oh," he said. He didn't want to tell her that having a baby would be put off a little further for his career. He was just starting to become the top name in WWE again and he wanted to keep it that way. He didn't want to have a baby to come and change that. He was just waiting for the best time to tell her they were going to wait a while. As Alex raved about how she wanted to be a mother and what they could do to the nursery he felt bad because it was clear she still had baby fever and she wanted a baby as soon as possible. He didn't know if he could break her heart and tell her to wait another year or so.
"Dave, why aren't you saying anything?" she asked.
"Oh. I was just thinking," he said.
"Oh. Okay. Well, what do you think about this being a nursery for a baby?"
"I like it," he said.
"You don't sound very excited," she said.
"Well, I can't wait to have a baby with you someday but right now I'm really tired so my emotions aren't in full bloom right now," he said.
"Oh. I see," she said. "Now. Let me show you the best room in the house," she said taking his hand and leading him to the master bedroom. She opened the door and led him into the room. "What do you think?" she said.
He looked around and couldn't believe how she arranged everything. He loved it. "Alex, this is great!" he said. He walked over to the closet and opened it. He looked in to see his clothes neatly organized along with his shoes on his side of the closet and then he looked at her clothes neatly organized along with her shoes on her side. "Great work," he said. "I see you had everything under control. You did a better job than I could ever do," he said.
"Thanks," she said.
"So are you still mad at me?" he asked as he wrapped his arms around her.
'I don't know," she said wrapping her arms around his waist and laying her head on his chest. "I guess not," she said. "I just hate how you can be the sweetest guy and then the next you turn into a workaholic asshole."
"I'm sorry. I don't mean to be a workaholic. I'm just trying to make that money for us to survive."
"I know, Baby, but you do have other obligations."
"I know," he said. "I'm sorry," he said. At that point he was just trying to say anything to make her happy so he could get laid. He would agree with anything she said as long as it meant them being intimate. It had been a long time for him since before he left for Asia she was holding out on him for rescheduling court.
"It's okay, Baby," she said as she reached up and kissed his lips. "So…since this is the first time we're actually in the house together how about we celebrate?"
"Okay," he said with a smile. He moved her over to the bed and began their usual foreplay which led into them making love. In the end he still didn't agree with her but he said what he said to get some. It worked so in the end he got what he wanted and she got what she wanted. It was a win win situation for both of them. He was just going to wait to tell her about his career and putting a hold on the baby making. He wasn't sure how she was going to react but he knew it would all be negative.
*A/N: So Dave reschedule his court hearing for custody of the girls. Alex never went to Asia because she was sick. DAve has his WWE future planned out but Alex has no idea about it. Alex really wants to have a baby but Dave wants to put that on hold. Dave basically lied to Alex about how he felt just to get some from her. ... clearly his a-hole side is coming out. What did you think? Please review. Thanks for reading.
*Chapter 51: John and RAndy meet Alex's mom. The guys go for their tuxedos.
