Sleepover
When Alexis and Laura returned home from school on Friday they were both surprised to see Jerry and Sarah dressed up in formal attire.
"What's going on?" Alexis asked.
"You'll find out later," Jerry replied. "Just hurry up now and get dressed. Our reservations are in an hour."
Alexis and Laura ran up the stairs. When they met each other again it was at the top of the stairs and they were both dressed flawlessly.
Alexis was wearing a black top that had the Chinese symbol for love in red. The shirt was sleeveless and exposed her midriff while the skirt started a fair ways underneath her navel and went all the way down to the ground. It was slit up the knee on both sides. To match she put on four inch sandals and threw her hair up into a high ponytail so that it cascaded over her shoulder and down her chest.
Laura on the other hand was wearing was wearing a white top that had green vine running down the side with pink flowers. She added a knee length pink skirt that was the exact same color as the flowers on her shirt. Her shoes were white and were two inches.
"So where are we going?" Laura asked impatiently.
"Well we got your report cards in the mail today and we saw that both of you were doing great in your courses and a great effort deserves a great reward," Sarah replied.
"Awesome," the girls said to each other.
Jerry chose a fancy restaurant and the girls were told to order whatever they felt like having. Close to the end of the evening Jerry and Sarah gave both Alexis and Laura matching gold watches.

Three months had gone by and Alexis was still sneaking around with AJ, seeing him whenever they could fit it into their busy schedules.

"So you coming on Saturday?" AJ asked Alexis.
"Yeah," Alexis replied. "Wouldn't miss it although you might be a little bit sore on Sunday."
"It's just Chris," AJ said shrugging it off. "I can kick his ass all over town."
"Feeling a little cocky?" Alexis asked laughing.
"Just a little," AJ said smiling at her.
"I won't be here tomorrow though," Alexis said. "I have to do some major studying."
"Get an A and I'll give ya fifty," AJ said to her.
"Oh really?" Alexis intrigued. "I'll have to take you up on that."
"Bring it on," AJ laughed. "I'll see you later, I have to go pick up some pain killers, I'm gonna need 'em."
Alexis kissed him once. "See ya on Saturday."
"Bye," he said, kissed her and then left.
Alexis always felt good when he walked away. He always made sure to leave her happy.
Never in Alexis' wildest dreams did she think that she would meet someone like AJ while under her uncle's watch. But it had been three months since they secretly began to see each other and neither one had had any complaints. During breaks it was usually time to make out and then during shows they would talk for a half an hour and the other half an hour was spent with lips locked tightly together. There had been one close call throughout their relationship and that had been with Petey but he quickly just shrugged it off and took AJ with him to practice some new moves in the ring which resulted in Petey breaking a finger.

Alexis and AJ were sitting in an abandoned area behind the area before the show started on Saturday and they were deep in conversation.
"Don't you think that this is just a little bit foolish?" AJ asked her. "How much longer are we going to keep sneaking away for ten/fifteen minutes at a time?"
"Well what do you want me to do?" Alexis asked. "Take you home and ask Jerry if I can date you?"
AJ rolled his eyes at the comment.
"Well?" Alexis asked again. "Think about it."
"What about if you snuck out?" AJ asked.
"What? Are you crazy! My uncle would kill me if he found out," Alexis said.
"So sneak out after he's gone to bed," AJ said taking her hand in his.
It was Alexis' turn to roll her eyes.
"I'll think about it," she said standing up. "But you gotta go get ready."
"Bye," he said giving her a quick peck and leaving.

"He wants you to sneak out?" Laura asked that night.
"Yeah," Alexis replied. "And I kind of want to do it too."
"So do it," Laura said. "It'll be thrilling."
"Maybe," Alexis said.
¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥
"So have you thought about it?" AJ asked on Tuesday.
"Yep," Alexis said as she began to do a dance while holding his hands.
"And…"
"And I've decided that I'm going to do it," Alexis replied.
"Really?" AJ asked almost shocked.
"Yeah, I'll come over to your place tonight," Alexis said to him. "Just wait down the street though and if I'm not there by twelve-thirty then you can leave because I obviously couldn't get out without him catching me."
"So I'm supposed to be there at midnight?" AJ asked.
"Yeah because Laura and I are supposed to be in bed and sleeping by eleven and then Jerry and Sarah go at eleven-thirty," Alexis explained. "And you'll have to drive me back around five so that I'm there for six."
"No problem," AJ said. "Four hours is good."
"Four hours?" Alexis asked.
"Half an hour traveling time," AJ said to her. "So I'll be waiting like five houses down."
"Okay," Alexis said and kissed him. "Don't you dare stand me up."
"Wouldn't even think of it," AJ said.

That night after Alexis heard Jerry and Sarah go to sleep she got up and changed. She threw her hair up and put make-up on. By that time it was already five after twelve. So she pushed open the window and quietly snuck out of the house. It took her a little while to get off the roof but when she did she landed lightly on the ground.
Alexis walked down the street until she saw AJ's black Charger and then got in.
"Let's get going," Alexis said looking at him and smiling.
"Sounds good to me," AJ said flooring the gas pedal.
The car only went a short distance before they hit a stop sign.
"That just ruined the effect," AJ said.
Alexis let out a giggle.
"I hope you know that I'm not doing this just to be in your good books," Alexis said to him.
"I know," he replied and turned.
"And I hope that you're not planning on getting laid either buddy, I'm not that easy."
"I knew that too," AJ said.
"So why exactly did you want me to come over?" Alexis asked confused.
"Just to spend time with you," AJ said relaxing. "Whenever we're at the arena everything's rushed."
Alexis thought about what he had said and then agreed with him. "So what are we going to be doing?"
"I guess we'll find out when we get there," AJ said to her.

Well when they did get there it wasn't at all what Alexis was expecting.
It had to be one of the worst parts of the city that she had ever seen but she wasn't at all let down.
"It's not all that much," AJ said to her as they walked upstairs.
"I'm not a material girl," Alexis replied. "As long as you're here, that's all I need."
Her response clearly wasn't what AJ was thinking she would say.
As Alexis walked through the building she noticed that it also wasn't the safest place in the world. There were homeless men sleeping in the hallways and Alexis got a bit spooked.
"Don't worry about them," AJ said taking her hand. "They're harmless."
Still she stayed close to him and they eventually reached his apartment. When Alexis walked in she immediately began to look around. Then she turned to AJ.
"Is it alright if I can just have a moment?" She asked.
"Yeah, sure," AJ said stepping outside.
Alexis went to the window and looked down, fire escape. Then she went to the bedroom and saw the fire escape was also able to work from there too. After she was done she opened the door and let AJ back in.
"Can't say that a girl has ever done that before," AJ said to her.
"Yeah, well I'm not every other girl," Alexis said walking up to him.
She threw her arms around his neck and began to kiss him fervently. His arms quickly wrapped around her and started walking her backwards to the bedroom.
Alexis helped him along and soon they were laying in his bed making out like they hadn't seen each other in months.
AJ laid on top of Alexis for the most part but had to get up and walk away from her when he wanted to go further. While he went into the other room Alexis laid in his bed and thought about what had just transpired. As she thought she looked around the room and hoisted herself up onto the pillows. When he came back into the room Alexis smiled at him.
"I love the way you smell," she said laughed.
"That's a good thing I suppose," AJ said and sat down beside her.
"So how'd you get into wrestling?" She asked as she began to fall asleep.
Instead on replying he caressed her arm for a while and then watched her fall asleep. After she dozed off he crawled behind her, covered her with the blanket and draped his arm over her side. Soon he fell asleep beside her.

Alexis woke up to an alarm clock ringing. When she opened her eyes she had absolutely no idea where she was and was quite shocked when she saw an arm draped over her. But when she turned around she saw AJ sleeping behind her. She looked at the clock and smiled.
"AJ," Alexis said gently. "A…J…"
He slowly began to stir. He opened his eyes and saw her.
"What time is it?" He asked her sleepily.
"Five," she said and kissed his shoulder. "C'mon, I gotta get home."
"Right," AJ said getting up behind her.
¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥
After the half an hour drive AJ dropped Alexis off down the block from her house.
"Are you working tonight?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'll talk to you then," Alexis said. "It was a good time."
"Glad you feel the same," he said and kissed her. "I'll see you tonight."
"Bye," Alexis said kissing him again.
Alexis walked back towards the house. When she got there it took her a little while to find out how to get back up. She had just enough time to get changed and go back into the bed.
"Time to wake up!" Jerry yelled walking down the hallway.
Alexis got out of bed and washed up. She met Laura on the bus.
"So?" Laura asked. "How'd it go?"
"Good," Alexis answered. "We made out for two hours and then we fell asleep."
"I see," Laura said. "What's his place like?"
"Not what I expected," Alexis said truthfully. "His place isn't in the best part of the city and it isn't the best apartment either."
"That must've blown," Laura said speaking her mind.
"Actually it didn't," Alexis said thinking back. "It was weird, I kind of found it hott."
Laura looked at her and laughed.
"What?" Alexis asked, now laughing.
Laura rolled her eyes.
"So it's a little bit weird," Alexis said trying to defend herself. "I admit it."
"I hope that you don't find murderers hott too," Laura said still laughing.
"I'm going to sleep. Wake me up a block away from the school," Alexis said.
"Yep," Laura said closing her eyes.
