Sadie giggled as AJ picked her up in the hotel pool, lifiting her over his head and dropping her back in the water in the deep end. Her brown hair flowed behind her as she swam back towards him, aiming for his ankles and dragging him under water with her. They swam in circles until they finally embraced each other with a hug, emerged from the water and shared a kiss near the wall.
It had been three months since they started their secret meetings, often late at night where no one else could see them. She was thankful that Alex had kept his promise about not telling anyone, except for the guys AJ still talks to, Joe, Chris, Eric and of course Alex. In the locker room, Sadie and AJ kept their distance, only talking to each other in their secluded hallway that they had claimed their own.
Wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist, she leaned in again to press a kiss on his lips. His arms around her waist brought her closer as he used his hands to play with the strings that held her bikini top on, gently tugging at the ends.
"What are you doing?" she whispered with a grin. "Someone might see us."
AJ grabbed his watch on the deck and looked at the time. "It's 3:30 in the morning, everyone is sleeping," he mumbled against her lips, giving the string a hard tug. She felt the bow become loose and playfully slapped his chest while he undid the string around her neck.
"Not here," she told him, covering her breast with her hands.
"My room?" he leaned close to her, giving her another kiss and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Come on, Niall. We'll just watch TV or something..." his attention went to her neck, dragging his lips across her skin. He heard her giggle when his fingers began to tickle her sides, making her squeal when he bit down onto her collarbone.
Her laugh echoed in the empty area, causing AJ to bring her away from the wall and spin her around in the water, leaning her backwards so her hair would get wet. The smile on her face made him grin back, watching her float in the water and looking so calm and peaceful. Her legs detatched from him and she swam away, back off to the deep end, away from him.
"You know," she called out, treading water in the 10feet deep area, "most guys don't call their girlfriends by their last names.
"Ah, this is true," he responded, swimming back towards her. "But I can't call you anything cute. This one guy I know, he's a wrestler too, he used to call his girlfriend Doll face, because her name was Dolly. Why can't you have a cute name like Dolly?"
Sadie bit her lip and shrugged, gently smiling back. "What was your friend's name?" she asked, stopping her treading.
"Austin Aries. Supposedly, how the story goes, is that she was his student. They ended up sleeping together, had a kid, and she just left him one day. Went to Japan, and that was it. Hey, didn't you train in Japan? Did you ever see her? Kind of short, blonde hair..."
"Doesn't ring a bell," she admitted. "But she just left? That sounds like an urban legend, one of those 'locker room tales'."
"He's got the kid to prove it though, Sades. Little girl, I'm her godfather. Well, me and every other male indy wrestler. Her godmother's shower her with gifts, she has like, nine of those. The baptisim was huge."
"Sounds like a big deal," Sadie mumbled, swimming towards her floating top. "Why isn't he signed with TNA?"
AJ hopped out of the pool and wrapped a towel around his body, "he has a tryout a few months from now, after his tour with Japan. Him and his daughter are seeing the world together, isn't that cute? No nanny, no daycares. Just Austin, Annalynn and her million God parents." He smiled at Sadie, tossing a towel in her direction as she lazly tied up her top. "Pretty cute though, eh?" he asked with a wink.
She slapped him playfully on the chest again, as he wrapped his towel around her. "How about we go back up and get you warmed up? You're chattering." Letting his arm wrap around her shoulders, Sadie leaned in to his warmth, letting the story sink in.
And it was all because she didn't have a 'cute' name.
From his balcony, Alex took a drag out of his cigerette and watched Sadie and AJ escape the pool area. He leaned against the railing on his forearms, a cigerette in one hand and a beer in the other. A nice, lazy night of spying on the locker room secret with his two vices, nicotine and alcohol. He had sworn off the two long ago, right after he had signed his contract, but something about knowing Sadie's secret made him give in.
He blew a perfect smoke ring, watching it float off into the air and disapear. A sip from his beer later and he flicked the cigerette to the floor of the balcony and put it out with his shoe, using the toe to snub it to the ground. Dropping the beer bottle to the ground, he watched as it smashed on the ground, the glass shattering on the cement and pieces of it going into the pool.
With a sigh, he closed the patio door and went back to bed, crawling under the sheets. "Hey man," Joe mumbled, rubbing his eyes and turning on a light. "What are you doing awake?"
"Can't sleep," Alex responded. "Too much thinking...I guess I'm missing my girl..." he sighed as he rolled over to face Joe, faking a yawn. "Hey, if I'm not awake by noon tomorrow, wake me up."
"Yeah man, sure." Joe sunk back down in his bed and instantly back to sleep as his head hit the pillow.
Rolling over, Alex looked at the clock, seeing the red numbers read 4:17AM. It wasn't until 11:32AM did he finally fall asleep with his guilty conscience.
