Alix raced back to the locker room, knowing she had to say something to Rey. She wasn't going to say anything to anyone else, at least honoring Rey's last comment to Vince, but she had to say something to Rey himself.
But what am I going to say…? Alix thought silently as she slipped into Rey's locker room. I don't want to just outright thank him…maybe here is where I can get my revenge…
Alix sat down on one of the benches in the locker room, placing her head in her hands. She was grateful for Rey's actions; but she didn't want to be. Plus she had no way to explain them. He had said time and time again that he didn't care about her as a person – only a competitor. Is that why he tried to save my job…? Is that the only reason?
All of the sudden, the door pushed open, and her head whipped up. Almost directly to her left was a stressed and sullen Rey Mysterio. He pulled his mask off slowly and looked up, his eyes widening when he saw Alix.
"Alix…" he said, his voice cracking easily and noticeably as he spoke. "What are you doing here?"
"I heard what you did for me." Alix spoke softly, any plans of getting revenge quickly leaving. She couldn't bring herself to do that to him. "No one told me, so don't go getting all mad at anyone or anything…I went to talk to Vin-…Mr. McMahon and I kinda heard you through the door."
"I-I don't know what you're talking about…" Rey stuttered, refusing to look Alix in the eyes. The almost insulted her, but she tried to ignore the blatant action.
"Yes you do." Alix smiled as she stood up and walked closer to him. "Even if you don't want to admit it, I know what you did. I am grateful you know…"
A smile played across Rey's lips for a split second, but it didn't stay for long. The smile on Alix's face, on the other hand, stayed for a lot longer.
"Thank you…" she whispered, placing a quick kiss on Rey's cheek, and walking out.
Rey stood rooted in the same spot in the locker room. Of all things to happen from what he had done to help Alix, what had actually happened had to be one of the things he definitely hadn't expected. Little did Alix know, but the mind games she had just played were probably the best kind of revenge she could have gotten.
He brought his fingers to his face where Alix had kissed him, and tried to will the electric sensation he had gotten away. To feel that would have made him weak, and Alix was his enemy. His offer of a truce had been denied so now they were just enemies.
That didn't seem like enemies though…quickly rushed through Rey's mind and he sighed. No, that didn't seem like enemies, but what if it wasn't meant?
Besides, she had been hanging out a lot with that other kid in the WWE…Evan. Evan Bourne. Just thinking his name made acid come to Rey's mouth, and his heart to clench.
"Hate to break this to you, amigo," Rey talked to himself as he began to gather his things before the other wrestlers got in. "But I don't think you wanna be enemies with Alix…"
Meanwhile, Alix couldn't seem to catch her breath as she walked through the halls of the backstage arena. She kept giggling insanely and for no good reason other than that she had just kissed Rey Mysterio. Given, it was on the cheek and Rey didn't really react but god was that a dream she had for months.
"No puedo creer que ese beso. Me sentía, me sentía! Fue increíble ... me encanta Rey." Alix rambled on in Spanish, her hands doing as much talking as her mouth was. "Al igual que lo era antes."
She grinned and laughed as she rambled on and on, oblivious to absolutely anything that was happening around her. She stumbled back into the lounge she had been in before, where everyone was beginning to get up and stretch, and head back to the hotel for the night. They'd be leaving early in the morning for the next town.
Everyone stopped and stared as Alix giggled uncontrollably again for no good reason.
"You on somethin' Alix?" MVP asked, something warily and it almost sounded like he meant it.
"Nope!" Alix grinned wide like a little kid.
"Well then what's up with…?" Randy motioned all over her meaning what was up with her.
"I-uh…" Alix blushed and couldn't bring herself to say what had happened.
"Just tell us," Cena smirked. "It's gotta be something good if you're making this big of a deal about it.
"I kissed Rey." She announced quietly and the room erupted with cheers and applause. Evan Big Show grinned at her proudly.
"Finally!" Edge and Randy shouted at the same time each with deep laughs. Alix couldn't stop blushing, her face felt like it was on fire.
"It wasn't anything big!" Alix assured, trying to get them to calm down. "I kissed him on the cheek, okay? It's not like I had some steamy make-out session with him in Vince's office right before McMahon opened the door…"
"Although that would've made us happier." MVP winked at her.
"Wait a minute…" Edge quieted everyone with one hand. "You kissed him in Vince's office?"
Everyone's eyes widened as they realized what Alix had said and everyone except for Big Show bombarded her with never-ending questions.
"No!" Alix shouted with a small smile. "Just an analogy or something. I kissed him in the locker room."
"And I bet JoMo was making the place all steamy taking a shower." Cena grinned suggestively at her and she waved her hand at him to knock it off with a slightly grossed out face.
"Once again…no!" she shook her head violently. "There was no one there…it was just us…"
Everyone grinned at her.
"Let's go, lovebird," Randy motioned for everyone to head to the locker rooms. "'S time to get out of here."
Alix nodded and everyone filed out. She ended up getting out right in front of Big Show.
"What're you gonna do about Evan?" he asked as soon as everyone got far enough ahead.
"Who?" Alix asked, honestly. She had completely forgotten about Evan's existence with what happened.
"Evan." Big Show repeated. "Evan Bourne. The kid you cuddled with during the airing of your debut? The kid I thought you really liked and that really liked you and I was wondering when you two would just start going out already?"
It took a minute, but Alix eventually remembered who Big Show was talking about.
"Shit…" she hissed, looking to the floor. "I don't know, what am gonna do?"
"You've gotta come up with something…" Big Show shrugged. "I'd advise against dating both of them, and I'd advise against dating Rey. He's, what, thirty-five? I have nothing against him, I really don't, and quite honestly I think you both would make a great couple, but you have three years 'till you could date either of them and they wouldn't be considered a pedophile. Even Evan at this point would be considered that; he's young but not twenty-one young. He's like…what is he?"
"Twenty-seven."
"Twenty-seven." Big Show nodded. "Still too old, but younger than Rey. At this point, you might be better off if you looked for a son of someone."
Alix shrugged and sighed, walking alongside Big Show now silently.
What am I going to do…
AN: alright peoples, we've had a kiss! Not a 'real' kiss, but one nevertheless! What's Alix gonna do? Date Evan? Date Rey? Find someone else that wouldn't be a pedophile? Oh, and next chapter, I'm telling you now, we're gonna have some extreme fast-forwarding. Think Marley and Me scene where the dude went through about six months of time in thirty seconds just by reciting stuff. I've just noticed how slowly paced this story is and we need to get the ball rolling! REVIEW!
Oh, and I have a translation for Alix's ramblings in case you wanted it. "I can't believe that kiss. I felt it, I felt it! It was amazing...I love Rey. Just like it was before."
