Pleasant Surprises

"So what happened between you and AJ today?" Laura asked.

The girls were sitting upstairs together. It had been over a week and a half since Alexis and AJ had a run in because he was on the road with TNA.

"Nothing much," Alexis said. "This time we were just talking. He was asking about I was doing and I asked him about his trip."

"So after two weeks of knowing you he still doesn't know your name?" Laura asked.

Alexis looked off to the side and didn't reply.

"You told him?" Laura asked getting excited.

"Umm…no," Alexis said turning a light shade of red.

"Why not?" Laura asked frustrated.

"I was going to," Alexis said in her defense. "But then he made a comment about how beautiful my eyes are and I got all tongue-twisted. That's never happened before!"

Laura held her stomach as she laughed. "That's too good," she said.

"Oh shut up," Alexis said and threw a pillow at her.

Alexis walked into the arena looking for Laura. She was getting angry because she felt like she had been searching for hours. Instead of finding Laura she found Petey.

"What's wrong Princess?" He asked as she began to throw a tantrum.

"Nothing that concerns you," she said and tried to push past him.

"How do you know that?" He asked.

"I just do," Alexis said pushed him with all that she could. "Get lost!"

"Not until I ask a favor of you," Petey said wrapping his arms around her.

"Get off of me," Alexis said shoving him.

All of a sudden Petey lost his grip and he was spun around.

"Don't you dare touch her again," Jeff warned pointing a finger at Petey.

"Why not?" Petey asked.

"Because I'll kick your ass from here to Alaska," Jeff said going nose to nose with him.

"Prove it," Petey said not backing down.

"Alright," Jeff said looking around. "Tomorrow night, me and you."

"Sounds good to me," Petey said. "Go make it official."

"I will," Jeff said walking away.

Petey took his cue and left. Alexis was left standing alone watching each man walk in their own directions.

"How did that happen?" She asked out loud.

"Well ya see it has to do with Physics," AJ said putting his arm around her shoulders.

"Oh really?" Alexis asked laughing. "How so?"

"I wouldn't know," AJ replied. "I never took physics."

Alexis laughed. "So how have you been?"

"Been better," AJ answered. "A little beat up. You?"

"It's all good," she said laughing.

All of a sudden Laura came racing around the corner. She ran right past Alexis and AJ but then she stopped and backtracked.

"He's coming!" She hissed. "Scatter!"

"Who?" AJ asked confused.

"My father!" She hissed and ran down the hallway.

"Oh God," Alexis said looking around.

She quickly took AJ by the hand and gently tugged. His took the signal and followed her. She ran into the women's washroom and into a small stall. She signaled for him to remain silent and he nodded as they both listened for any sound.

After a while he got bored and turned to look at her. Alexis felt his eyes on her and turned to look at him. She smiled as they were both breathing heavily and having Alexis pushed up against him didn't help AJ any. Then the two met in a mutual kiss. AJ somehow managed to wrap his arms around her and pull her closer to him. When they separated it was still silent. Alexis rested her head on AJ's shoulder for a few seconds and then lifted it up.

"This is very awkward," AJ said smiling.

"Yep," Alexis said trying not to laugh.

"And these stalls are very small," he said looking around.

Alexis laughed and gently slapped his chest.

"So…" AJ said and then waited a few moments. "I thinks that this is enough to get to know your name."

Alexis let out a little groan and was ready to start throwing a tantrum but when she moved AJ didn't feel too comfortable.

"Don't do that," he said holding her waist.

"Why not?" She asked slumping against her wall.

"Because your leg is between mine and every time you move you're 'rubbing' against me," he said as Alexis and him both fought back chuckles. "Now I don't think that you want to get me too excited."

"Alright I'll stop," she said.

"So, what's your name?" He asked again.

"You're not gonna give up?" Alexis asked.

"Not in this position," he said looking down. "And I'm not looking down your shirt."

"Yeah, I'm sure you're not," Alexis said rolling her eyes.

"Stop trying to change the subject," he said smiling.

Alexis hated it when he smiled, she couldn't focus or do anything properly.

"I'm Alexis Hexling," Alexis said extending her hand.

"Finally," he said raising his arms in victory but then shaking her hand. "Alexis huh?"

"That's what they tell me," she said smiling.

Alexis didn't know it but whenever she smiled AJ felt his body go limp. He didn't know how a girl could be so perfect.

"Gorgeous name," he said. "Suits you."

All of a sudden Alexis had a weird look on her face.

"What's wrong?" He asked caressing her arm.

"It…" she couldn't get the rest out. All AJ heard were mumbles.

"What's wrong?" He asked again.

"My leg…cramping…" she spit out.

"Oh," he said hiking himself up on the toilet so that she could get out of the stall first. "Sorry about that."

"It's alright," she said moving her leg.

"I do have to get going though," Alexis said.

"Seriously?" He asked saddened by her words.

"Yeah, I'm supposed to get a ride back with my uncle," Alexis said. "So I'll umm…see you around…I guess."

"Yeah, I guess," AJ replied.

"Bye," she said and started to walk out.

"Alexis," AJ said and grabbed her wrist.

"Yeah," Alexis said turning around.

"Come here," he said pulling her towards himself and kissing her.

This kiss was a lot longer than their first and better too. One of AJ's arms was around her waist while his other hand supported the back of head and neck. It was a deep kiss and AJ made sure that Alexis knew he was serious. When he broke the kiss he took a step back and looked at her.

"Wow," she said wiping the side of her mouth.

He smiled and stepped back beside her. He kissed her ear and then gave her another kiss on her neck.

"AJ, I have to go," Alexis said as her hands rested on his chest.

"No you don't," he said kissing her cheek.

"Yes, I do," Alexis said laughing and gently pushing him away. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"When are you working?" He asked.

"Four," she said walking away and giving him a wave. "See ya sexy."

When she first got out of the bathroom her knees were extremely weak but she kept walking. She didn't want AJ to see her so feeble. A few seconds later she heard the bathroom door open and close.

Alexis walked outside to see Jerry, Sarah and Laura already in the SUV.

"I was just about to say that I couldn't find you," Alexis said laughing as she got in.

"Yeah they just found me," Laura said.

Alexis just nodded at the comment and laid her head down against the back of the seat.

"What took you so long?" Laura asked as they sat up in Laura's room.

"I kind of got into a situation with AJ," Alexis said blushing.

"What happened?" Laura asked inquiringly. "Did ya tell him your name?"

Alexis nodded and hid her face with the pillow that she was holding.

"And…"

"And then we kissed," Alexis said covering her ears as Laura began to scream.

"I am so happy for you!" Laura screamed hugging Alexis. "How'd it happen?"

Alexis told Laura the story and Laura laughed through the entire thing.

"Tell me about the kiss," Laura said calming down.

Alexis thought back to the experience and then looked at Laura.

"By far the best kiss that I have ever been a part of," Alexis said. "It was passionate and sweet but awkward afterwards."

"I bet," Laura said. "So what happened after the kiss?"

Well we left the stall and I was going to leave but he grabbed my wrist, pulled me towards him, tightly if I may add, and he kissed me again," Alexis answered.

"Aww…" Laura said. "I'm so jealous."

"Come to think of it, the second kiss was way better than the first," Alexis thought out loud.

"Why?" Laura asked confused.

"Because it was hot blooded, passionate, physical and there was tons of tongue," Alexis said burying her head in her pillow once again.

"Tons?" Laura asked.

"Oodles and oodles of tongue," Alexis replied laughing. "And it was a wet one."

"Leaving anything out?" Laura asked.

"He started kissing my neck and my cheek and ear after the fiery kiss," Alexis said.

"This is so unfair," Laura said lying down.

"Why?" Alexis asked.

"Because," Laura said laughing, "it just is."

"Ah get over it," Alexis said poking her. "I gotta go get some work done. I'll talk to you later."

"Bye," Laura said.
