On The Road Again

"So which route are we taking?" Alexis asked.

"Straight cross country," AJ said switching to cruise control.

"So how many days?"

"Four, possibly five depending on how many hours I decide to drive," he said. "Come to think of it it could be six."

"How slow are you planning on driving?" Alexis asked as she looked up ahead at the Mustang.

"I don't know," he laughed. "I thought that you would like to see the countryside."

"I wanna get to the beach!" Alexis complained.

"Oh I know you want to," AJ said kissing her cheek. "But I haven't had this many days off since the last time we drove cross country."

"Happy days," Alexis said laughed. "Question. Do you ever wonder why Petey and Laura are together?"

AJ looked at her. "I can't say that I have."

"Okay, so I am the only one," Alexis said looking out the window.

A little later on Petey pulled into a restaurant on the side of the highway.

"I got hungry," Petey said as AJ and Alexis got out of their vehicle.

"Good, so am I," AJ said as they walked towards the bathroom.

Once they were inside Petey went directly to the bathroom and AJ sat down with the girls.

"So Laura, what's up with you and Petey?" AJ asked.

Alexis started to laugh.

"What do you mean?" Laura asked looking back and forth between AJ and Alexis.

"Well what's so attractive about Greasy Petey?" AJ asked trying not to laugh.

Laura turned to Alexis. "You're boyfriend is an idiot."

"I know," Alexis said wrapping her arms around his midsection, "but I love him anyways."

They gave each other a quick peck on the lips.



AJ and Petey drove for another hour before they decided stop at a hotel. They checked in and AJ fell onto the bed.

"That tired?" Alexis asked laying down next to him.

"Yeah," he said turning onto his stomach and throwing his arm across her.

Alexis laid down on the bed beside him and kiss him strongly.

"I'm awake," AJ said suddenly full of energy.

"Are you serious?" Alexis asked. "You just drove for over five hours. You should be wiped."

"Not when you're around," he said pulling her close.

"Not tonight," Alexis said closing her eyes.

AJ didn't let up. He began kissing, sucking and biting at her neck.

"I said no Styles," Alexis said pushing his chest.

He let his hand caress her thigh and lower back.

"Come on AJ," Alexis said becoming annoyed.

Before she knew it he was kissing her ear and beginning to breath heavier.

"Oh God," Alexis said annoyed as she got up off of the bed.

She walked into the bathroom to change and get ready for bed. When she reentered the bedroom AJ had already stripped down to his boxers and pulled the sheets back for her.

She climbed into the bed and waited until AJ got comfortable spooning her from behind. Then she closed her eyes. She was started to drift off when AJ started kissing her neck again.

"Seriously man!" Alexis said getting frustrated.

This time AJ pushed his affection further by slipping his hand a short distance down her shorts stopping just before he got to her most delicate area. He used his hand to push her against himself. Once she was as close as she could get he began rubbing against her.

"You horn dog," Alexis said pulling out of his grasp. "May I remind you that I have a say in this matter too."

"I was hoping that I could persuade you," he said touching her inner thigh. "You're usually just as horny."

"Well I'm not right now," Alexis said wiping her hair behind her ears.

"You could've just said no," AJ said to her.

Alexis let out an aggravated outburst.

"Oh is that what you meant all those times?" AJ asked laughing.

Alexis lunged at AJ but he caught her laughing and gave her a playful spank.

"Hey! My property!" Alexis giggled.

"But I like it a lot and wouldn't mind paying a high price," AJ said kissing her.

Alexis burst out laughing and began to kiss him.

"How about I put it on loan for the evening?" She asked.

"Sounds good to me," AJ said wrapping her tightly in his arms and falling back against the bed.



"I'm tired," AJ said rubbing his eyes as he drove the following afternoon.

"See? I told you," Alexis said. "But no, you wanted to stay up all night getting some lovin'."

"And some good lovin' it was," he said winking at her.

"Well why don't you let me drive?" Alexis asked. "I slept more than you last night."

"I don't know, there are a lot of trees around," he said looking around.

"Up yours," Alexis replied. "Just let me drive for a while and you can sleep."

AJ thought for a while and then pulled over. They quickly changed sides and Alexis began to drive.



AJ woke up and looked at the clock. It had been a good three hours but the car was pulled over on the side of the road. AJ looked at Alexis who looked like she could burst into tears at any second.

"What's wrong?" He asked looking at the surrounding area.

"Please don't be mad," Alexis said to him.

"I won't be mad," he said confused. "But weren't we almost in the exact same spot three hours ago?"

"Yeah," Alexis replied.

"So?"

"So there's something wrong with the front tire on the right," Alexis said.

AJ looked at her and then got out of the car. He walked to the left side and started to laugh.

"Seriously girl! It's unbelievable that you got a flat on the right once, but twice? How in the world-"

"I'm sorry!" Alexis yelled at him.

He looked at her red eyes and the way that she was hugging herself and instantly was ashamed with himself. He slowly walked over to her and hugged her. He kissed the side of her head and caressed her back.

"It's alright," he said calming her down. "At least it isn't a tree."

Alexis wiped her eyes as she looked at the car with AJ.

"Don't worry about it," he said popping the trunk. He walked around and took a few things out. "Where are Petey and Laura?"

Alexis shrugged.

"How nice of them," AJ said. "You're lucky this time."

"Why?" Alexis asked.

"Because I have a spare and tools with me," he said winking at her. "That's why I wanted the bags in the back seat."

Alexis' mouth formed into a smile.

She watched as he jacked the car up and took the tire off quickly. Then he quickly replaced the tire and tightened the nuts. He was putting everything back into the trunk when the red Mustang pulled up beside them. AJ gave them the finger and laughed.

"What happened?" Petey asked.

"Flat," AJ said slamming the trunk. "It's alright now."

"What took so long?"

"Stuff," AJ said opening the drivers door. "Let's just get back on the road."

"Alright," Petey said.

Alexis got into the passenger seat and looked at AJ.

"I'm so sorry," she said hoping that he wasn't mad.

"Forget about it babe," he said kissing her hand and following Petey. "As long as you're alright I'm fine."

Alexis smiled at him.

"You looked really sexy when you were changing it," Alexis said to him.

"I know," he said laughing. "I think I should pose for some kind of calendar."

"I'd buy it," Alexis said.

"Well I should hope so," he said acting offended.



The next few days were as good as could be expected. It wasn't until the fifth night on the road that things went back to 'normal'.

"Could this trip be any longer?" Alexis complained.

"Yeah," AJ replied. "We could've gone down to Texas, up to Canada, and then down to Orlando."

"Are you mocking last time?" Alexis asked.

"No," AJ said sarcastically. "I was simply reminiscing."

"Asshole," Alexis said flipping through radio stations. "Oh my God!"



Laura was falling asleep when she looked out her side mirror and saw nothing.

"Petey, they're gone again," she said looking at him.

"Give them a couple seconds," Petey said looking in the rearview. "Alexis probably wanted to look at cows."

Laura let a laugh out and then playfully slapped his arm.

"Be nice," she scolded.

Petey slowly slowed the car down and turned around. It wasn't long before they saw the car. But something was wrong. The car had it's emergency lights on and both doors were open. Petey sped up until he reached them. They quickly jumped out of the car and looked at Alexis and AJ in the ditch.

"What are you two doing?" Laura asked recovering from the scare.

"Dancing!" Alexis screamed. "It's my song! I have to!"

Laura listened to the music.

"This is Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off," Laura said to her.

"I know!" Alexis yelled. "It's perfect!"

Laura and Petey looked at each other and laughed.

When the song ended AJ picked Alexis up and laughed with her. The was in a fit of giggles when there was a strange sound behind her that made her jump out of AJ's arms. AJ and Alexis both turned around at the same time.

"You got scared of a cow?" AJ asked laughing.

"Shut up," Alexis said hitting him. "It's scary."

"Yes, an animal that eats only grass it truly terrifying," AJ laughed as he helped her out of the steep ditch.

As soon as he helped her out she shoved him back in.

"Serves you right," Alexis spat as he laid on his back. He was breathing heavily as he moved his back. Alexis looked down at him. "Oh God!" She screamed. "Are you alright baby?"

"Yeah," he said getting up. "Peachy."

Alexis ran down the hell and helped him.

"I'm so sorry," she said taking him by the arm. "I didn't mean to hurt you."

"You didn't hurt me," AJ said picking her up and dropping her on the other side of the fence with all the cows.

"This isn't funny," Alexis said with her back to a fence post.

"I think that it is," AJ said leaning on the fence.

"AJ…" Alexis whined as tears filled her eyes. "C'mon AJ, I'm scared."

AJ sighed and lifted her out. He felt terrible when he felt her shake.

"I'm sorry," AJ said trying to hold her. She shoved him and started walking up again. When they both reached the top of the hill he tried again. "Oh c'mon, I was just playing."

"Don't talk to me jerk," she said walking away.

"How long is your fit going to last?" AJ asked sitting on the car.

"As long as I want it to," Alexis answered.

"So we should be here for a month," AJ said.

This time he didn't get a response. There was several moments of silence before Alexis sat down on the opposite side of the road. AJ rolled his eyes but walked over to her and sat down. They sat in silence for a few minutes before she started talking.

"Why did you do that?" She asked still upset.

"Because you usually find that kind of stuff fun," he said to her.

"Not when I'm scared to death," Alexis said wiping her eyes.

AJ looked around and saw Petey and Laura still standing feeling obviously awkward.

"What do you want me to say?" He asked her.

"You're asking me what I want to hear?" Alexis asked laughing.

"Well I never know how to make you happy anymore," AJ said to her growing frustrated.

Alexis looked off into the distance before looking back at him.

"You're supposed to be the one that's always there for me," Alexis said to him. "The only person who I feel safe with. The one person who will never hurt me."

"I would never hurt you," AJ said to her. "In case you forgot I drove for close to a week to get you away from those crazy nuts that you lived with. And then I had to go and find a job with the WWE and now I'm moving to Orlando for you."

"So you're saying that it's my fault?" Alexis asked. "I ruined your life?"

"Why do you do that all the time?" AJ asked. "I say something to defend myself and you take it as an insult."

"Because that's what you're trying to say. You're just too chicken shit," Alexis said looking at the ground.

"Oh well that's nice," he replied. "Look Lexi, I didn't mean to scare you, I seriously didn't think that you were scared."

"Well I was," she said.

"And next time we're around cows I won't put you anywhere near them," he laughed. Alexis let out a short laugh. "I heard that," he said lifting her chin. He kissed her gently and then looked behind them. "I think that we should get going."

"Probably should," Alexis said using AJ's hand to help her up.

"Done already?" Petey asked yawning.

"Shut up," Alexis said and punched him in the arm.

"She's a feisty one," Petey laughed.
