"You must be super excited."

Tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear, an almost shy smile formed on the brunette's face at her friends statement while her tanned skin flushed a light pink - something that didn't go unnoticed by her fiery haired friend.

It was the Monday before SmackDown Live's taping and while Alex knew that she wasn't really needed there, - she wasn't in any major storylines - she at least wanted to see her close friends before disappearing for a while and it seemed like she made the right choice too since most of her friends wanted to have a small lunch before they were flooded with work.

It was a nice notion and it really warmed the woman's heart but she would've preferred the topic of conversation not to have been about her approaching date with Teddy - but she knew it would be futile trying to change the subject, once Nikki made up her mind there was no changing it.

So, toying with the lighter ends of her hair, Alex gave a small shrug of her shoulder with her smile still in place - her gaze focused on the white table clothes while trying her best to avoid the inquisitive gazed of her friends.

"I guess I am." She admitted after releasing a soft breath, toying with the napkin on her lap as she spoke. "I'm just not completely sure what to expect, you know? Like, I know what were doing and all but I don't wanna make things awkward by bringing up a touchy subject or something."

"I'm sure everything will be fine." Nattie sent the girl a reassuring smile from across the table, one that lit up her entire face. "You're an amazing girl, Alex and from what I've heard, the two of you got along great on draft night."

The Spanish native couldn't stop the smile from growing on her face as she glanced up at the blonde wrestler, her words soothing and enough to cause the young Lopez female to relax. It wasn't hard to figure out why everyone loved Nattie, she was honestly such a sweetheart and gave the best advice - the only problem Alex had was that sometimes the blonde was too nice.

It wasn't usually considered a bad thing but when the rookies or people like Summer Rae would take advantage of her kindness, it really made the dark haired girl wish that the blonde would beat the crap of out of them or at least flat out tell them 'no'.

She regretted the fact that she wasn't really close to the kind woman but hopefully that would change when she returned from her mini 'vacation'.

"Yeah and with the daily phone calls and texts you two exchange, there's no doubt you'd be coming back to us a taken woman." Becky teased causing her best friend to give her a playful shove while the rest of the table agreed and just as the brunette opened her mouth to defend herself, her phone buzzed on the table with a text from the topic of conversation. "What did I say?"

"Shut up."

From : Teddy💖
Hey, Ally. I know you're probably out with the girls now but I just wanted to let you know that I probably won't be able to call or text today since Mr Regal's got us training like crazy. I'll be sure to let you know when I'm done though.

Enjoy your day, I'll talk to you later?

Chewing on her lip to hide her smile, Alex locked her phone and shoved it into the front of her backpack before looking up - and around - at the amused faces of her friends.

"What?"

"Nothing." Renee chuckled softly, shaking her head at her friends oblivious nature. "Nothing at all."

Hello, it's the author here with another one of her apologies.

I am SO SORRY for not updating sooner. My iPad is giving me problems, my docs on my phone won't open, the WiFi is screwed and I've been busy with some surprises for the loyal readers - which will be revealed by next week for the latest because I'm stressing TF out due to the fact that I'm receiving my results for my final exams on Friday.

This chapter was just a filler and I am not proud of it - not at all - but next update will be better, I promise.

Also, Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and Compliments of the season to all of you and your families. I hope you all had an amazing time and were safe out there and for those that reviewed, I have no idea how to thank you and it might not seem like it but it means a lot to me.

You all are my motivation and you mean the world to me which leads me to my next announcement.

IF YOU WANT TO SEE CERTAIN THINGS HAPPEN THEN LET ME KNOW.

I feel like I'm going nowhere with this story and if you - any of you - have some suggestions then don't be afraid to tell me, I would actually love it if you do.

Anyways, that's it. I'm working on chapters 5 & 6 along with the surprises I have for all of you so I'll hopefully see you on FriYAY!

Lots of love,
Lauren'A
