Lost and found

He sat there for a while now, waiting. People passed by and didn't even look in. It was quarter past eleven. Dixie – president of TNA was late. Very late. He was usually he one to be late at a meeting. Alex sipped the brown fluid- coffee, when a wairtress came to ask what he'll have. He looked at her and saw Angelina Love.

" Angelina! You work as a wairtress?" She nodded. " Sometimes, when I have time. I have to pay the bills, you know? "

Then he remembered that she is in the same situation. " Good that I ran into you. What are you thinking about your storyline with Winter? Tell me."

She looked at her boss, he went into the kitchen. Angelina sat opposite of him. " Why do you ask?" Alex explained his new storyline.

" Now I understand. Well, it felt a little strange at the beginning, but now we've become good friends. She even works here with me." Angelina looked behind him. Before he could turn his head, black haired woman came to his table.

" Angie, help me with table 6. He speaks French." Then she saw Alex.

" Oh, I know you. You're THAT Alex Shelley, am I right?"

" That?" Both women giggled. " You're really famous."

" In which way?" Winter sat next to leaned in, so that she could whisper.

" You've been ranked number one in this year's prestigious magazine for women."

Alex wanted to know why did he get so famous. " In which category? "

" Number one sexy beast. Women (and some men) all over the world voted for you. It was a tie between you and Johnny Depp, but after second round, you won. "

Alex's face turned pale. " Don't tell me you didn't know." Alex shook his head.

And then, more things hapenned at once. His phone vibrated, someone walked in the cafeteria and the french man yelled at Winter. In that moment, women stood up and went over to his table. Alex pulled out his mobile, so he didn't see who came in. He glared at the text message, pissed off. It read:

I'm sorry, but I can't help you, Alex. I'm very busy right now and I don't have any free time. Ask vicepresident for help for now. Dixie

" Fucking management." He murmured under his nose. Then, he felt someone's presence. Alex looked up and saw him – he got angry.

" Are you stalking me or what? " Austin remained motionless. " What? Someone drank your soda? "

He leaned ovet the table. " I've waited so long to meet you." He spoke huskily, his eyes like freezing silver. Alex felt like those eyes were haunting him. In that moment, as if everything froze up, only the two of them mattered. Alex laughed nervously.

" If you do that on TV, fans will love your charactes, especially women. " Austin didn't reply back. He stared at him with those eyes and Alex felt very uncomfortable. It felt just like he was undressing him on the spot.

" P-please don't look at me that way." But he didn't avert his gaze. And then…

" Oh, so you two are having a meeting? It's good to find out more about your partner, right Winter ? " She nodded, but she furtively watched them with interest.

Thank goodness ! Alex thought that Aries is never gonna stop his staredown.

He had to go and clear his mind. Now!

" Where are the toilets? "

" In the back on the left." Angelina pointed. " Thanks." He quickly got on his feet and walked away in a hurry.

Blonde woman had to ask. " SO, what did he say?"

Austin took Alex's cup of coffee and drank. " Nothing. But he can't refuse to work with me."

" Why?"

"…. Because he has to."

That answer didn't satisfy Angelina's curiosity, but Winter dragged her away, saying something about washing up. " Oh, and bring me soda."

Austin got up and walked to toilet. There he met him. Alex's face was drenched with water, his eyes closed.

Austin's POV

If only he looked in the mirror, he would see me. I put my hands around his waist and licked his earlobe. In that moment, he opened his eyes.

" What are y-you d-d-doing?" He stuttered. I smoothed his soft… I breathed in the faint scent of his shampoo. Cocoa and coconut. What nice combination. " Shhh…" I caressed his deliciously looking neck.

" Do you believe in destiny?" Alex stared at out mirror image, stunned.

" No, I don't believe in such a thing." I licked his face.

" WHAT are you d-doing?" I smiled.

" How do I love it when you stutter. You didn't change one bit."

He gave me that look I KNEW. " What do you mean I didn't change? You don't even know me."

I let go of him. Suddenly, the air has changed. It was chilly. And I was about to cry. I ran out and got to his table. I paid for my untouched soda and walked from cafeteria.

Why?

Why doesn't he remember me?

Alex didn't know what happened.

" Do you not remember me?" Echoed in his head. It feels like he knows him from a very long time ago. But what was that „attack" on his body supposed to mean?

At any rate, he'll meet him later tonight. Now, he has to go back to hotel, then to arena to prepare for his life changing promo.

5 hours later…..

Pain. Sorrow. three mixed up together and then engulfed inside his heart, until they have awoken on the surface. His senses were clouded. He closed his eyes….

It all began on that day…..

Sunny, hot morning. Daniel saw him alone, looking up to the sky. He was simply curious about this pre-teen. He had to have eleven at most thirteen years. He himself was seventeen, so he was in hight school.

Daniel walked to him. " Wanna go somewhere else? It's too much hot here." He only now saw him. He had beatiful brown eyes. Daniel stared at him. So did the othey boy. " You're right. Let's go."

" What's your name?" He smiled.

" I'm Alex. Alex Shelley. "

"And I'm Dan Solwold. Nice to meet you."

They shook hands.

This was the first day he ever met him…

Several month later

They met up everyday and liked each other's presence. But, one day, Alex had a sad face. Daniel noticed it right away. " What's wrong?"

" My parents and I are moving somewhere else. Therefore, I won!t be able to see you…" A single tear ran down his cheek. Daniel wiped it away. " Shhh… Don't be so sad. It doesn¨t suit you. You know what? We'll make a promise."

Alex looked at him with his brown orbs. " A promise?"

" Yes. I promise that one day, we will be together again. And I will never leave your side. I'll always be with you. It's a promise."

Alex kissed him on the cheek. " It's a promise!"

They played basketball together, until Alex had to go home and help pack. Daniel held his hand. " I won't forget my promise. You'd better remember me when we meet again, or I'll slap you." Alex laughed and gave him a sad smile and he walked away. Daniel looked ath his silhouette.

…

" I love you…" He whispered.

END OF FLASHBACK

Austin woke up. This dream recurred every day. He searched for him. His only lead was his name – Alex Shelley. Austin almost gave up, when two years ago, he saw him on Spike TV – as a wrestler.

Those eyes…

It had to be him.

" From Detroit, Michigan. He's one half of the Motorcity Machine Guns- Alex Shelley!"

His heart skipped a beat.

" Alex, I've finallly found you…"

Since then, he wanted to be closer to him. Year ago, he won the X- Division contract and he was closer . But, Alex was off TV. Austin didn't have a chance to meet then.. he returned.

Along with his partner. He didn't like it one bit, so he begged and begged the writers for a storyline with Alex. They declined. He had no other choice- ask Sabin. He's the only one left who could help him. He had to go that far and tell him about his history with Alex, just to gain his help. He agreed . Sabin went to the writers and he told them, that he needs a break from MMG.

Storyboard wasn't very pleased, but they agreed in the end. A break for MMG was not such a bad idea.

So, Austin got a time limit- year and a half. He'll use this time wisely.

A knock.

" It's open." A technician came in.

" Austin, in two minutes go to the arena. They're waiting for you."

He got up.

Time to start.

AN – reviews would be much appreciated.
