Chapter 8

ALEXANDRIA

It's been a month since Paul and I became a couple. So far, it's been the best month that I've ever had since being here in the WWE. We spend a lot of time together and I still go to his office like all the time when we're on the road. Randy still doesn't know that we're together. Only two people know. Kelly and Shawn. They're the only ones that know because of the trust that we have in them. We know that they won't say anything to anyone. Especially to Randy, Cody and Ted. I don't want any problems with anyone.

"Since we both have the weekend off, why don't you come to Conneticut with me?" asked Paul.

"To Conneticut. Is that going to be okay?"

"Yeah. I can introduce you to some of my friends there and we can go sightseeing and have fun together and spend a lot of time together without worrying about any problems that can happen."

We heard a knock on the door and heard that it was Shawn and Kelly. We let them come into his office. I got up from my seat and sat on Paul's lap.

"How come she sits on your lap?" asked Shawn.

"She's my girlfriend. She can do that." he replied. I get butterflies when I hear him call me his girlfriend."She can sit on my lap anytime she wants. She could do whatever she wants. I don't mind."

"Yeah?" I asked quietly.

"Yeah." He replied quietly scrunching up his nose.I giggled and kissed him lightly on the tip of his nose.

"What are you two doing this weekend?" asked Kelly.

"I was hoping that Alexandria could go with me to Connecticut." replied Paul.

"Girl, please tell that you're going to go with him."

I looked at Paul and smiled. "I will."

He smiled and gave me a kiss.

The Next Day

I was with Paul in the airport and we were waiting for our flight to be called for boarding.

"You sure you want to come with me?" he asked.

"Yeah I'm sure."

"Just making sure because I don't want to make you do something you don't want to do."

"I want to go with you. We can spend extra time together and not worry about anything. Just you and me."

"Just you and me." he repeated smiling and causing the crinkle in his eyes.

PAUL

Alexandria was going to come with me to Connecticut this weekend. I'm actually happy that she decided to come with me. Not only do I get to introduce her to my friends, but I get to spend extra time with her. It's been a month since her and I became a couple and it's been going pretty good. I know for a fact though, how hard it is for her to not have her own brother know that she's dating me because of hoe he'll react since we don't like each other. I want the whole world to know that I'm dating someone that I am absolutely crazy about. But yet, I can deal with not having people in my business when it comes to my personal life.

"It's nice here." she said as we were in the car driving to Greenwich from the airport.

"Yeah. It really is. During the holidays, you'll see a lot of people decorating their houses and stuff and you really get a feel for the holiday. It's pretty cool here."

"Did you have a lot of friends here growing up?"

"I had my fair share of friends growing up. Especially in high school. Nothing serious."I replied.

We got to my house and I had to wake her up. She fell asleep about 30 minutes into the drive over here. She's been spending her nights with me in my room at night. So I've been keeping her up at night basically. I feel bad because she doesn't get much sleep at night when she leaves my room. But this time, I'll make sure that she gets enough rest. I know how cranky she gets when she doesn't.

"Baby, come on. We're here." I told her quietly as I opened the door on her side. She started to stir and woke up. I saw her blue eyes and got lost in them.

"Nice house." she said quietly. "It's huge."

"Knowing how to save up money, the right way, you can buy what you want."

"I'm saving up money but I haven't gotten to this point yet." she replied.

"You'll get there soon. Want me to work something out so you can get a raise or something?"

"No that's okay. I'll get enough money saved up soon."

"You sure? I can try to work something out for my girl."

She smiled. "That's okay. Besides, I'm dating you because of my feelings for you. Not because of the privileges I can get. Although I do like those privileges, I'll stick to my feelings."

"I have feelings for you too. Besides, you're beautiful, sexy, smart, talented. Very sexy."

She giggled and hit me playfully. "Let's just get in the house."

We got in the house I showed her around a bit before I took her to the room that she could stay in to put her stuff down.

"Want something to eat?" I asked her.

"What you got?"

I looked in my fridge and saw it empty.

"Nothing. Literally, nothing."

"Pizza!"

"Then what are we eating tonight?"

"I have no idea." she replied. I couldn't help but smile and laugh. "We need to buy some food for your fridge. This is not cool."

"I'm barely home."

"I still, enough food to last the days that we're here. Now may I please get a kiss?" she asked putting her arms around me. I leaned down and gave her a kiss. Her kisses are sweet and makes me want to keep kissing her.

"Let's go eat pizza." I told her.

We got to the parking lot, and I held her hand as we walked to the pizza shop. I guess you can say that we're a holding hands type of couple. I didn't mind though. But other than that, it felt good holding hands with her and being out with her in public without worrying about anything. Let alone having the wrong person see us and have it get around when we don't want it to. Especially to both asked for a large pie.

"I'm going to eat half of this." she told me.I looked at her and smiled. "What? I like to eat."

"I didn't say anything. I like a girl who likes to eat so don't worry about it."

"You know, I never had a boyfriend like you." she told me as she took a bite of her pizza.

"How come?"I asked her.

"All the boyfriends I had, though it was only 3, only liked me because of how I looked. You're the only guy that likes me for more than looks."

"I liked you since the day that I first saw you. The way that you look is what caught my attention. But as I got to know you better, I developed feelings for you that were based on more than looks. Any guy who doesn't appreciate everything that you have to offer, they don't deserve you."

She smiled. She leaned over the table and gave me a kiss. Her phone started to ring and she picked it up.

"Randy, hi...yeah I'm here in Connecticut...yeah remember Emily? She went to the University of Connecticut so I'm going to try pay her a visit before I go back out on the road..."

I stayed quiet and ate pizza while she talked to Randy. I could tell that she hated lying to him. I don't want her to either. But what are we going to do and how will we let them know without any drama happening because we're together?

"Okay...love you too. Bye."

"Everything okay?" I asked when she hung up.

"Yeah. I didn't expect him to call me today." She said sadly.

"You don't like lying to him do you?"

"No. But I know that if we tell people we're together, or the wrong person finds out before we tell anyone, it's going to get to Randy and he'll freak out because his little sister is dating someone that he doesn't like for some reason."

"Baby either way, you and I are going to be together and we're going to stick together no matter what happens. Okay? Let's just think about how we're going to handle the whole situation of people knowing that we're a couple. Wait, that come wait until later. Let's just think about the now and spending time together."

"Okay." she replied and smiled sweetly.

ALEXANDRIA

The next day, Paul actually took me to see my friend at the University of Connecticut. I was so happy to see her because I haven't seen her in a very long time. Especially now that I'm on the road a lot. I don't get a lot of chances to do what I want on the rare free time that I have.

"Alex!"

"Emily!" I exclaimed as we hugged.

"I'm so happy to see you! OMG you're Triple H!" She exclaimed when she saw Paul behind me.

"Emily, this is Paul. Paul this is my best friend, Emily."

"You can call me Paul." he told her as he shook her hand.

"You have a lot of explaining to do missy." she told me with a look in her eye that I knew since 2nd grade.

"Wait, so Randy doesn't know that you and him are together?" she asked when Paul gave us some time to be together just me and her.

"Nope. Not even my parents know that we're together."

"Why not?"

"Randy and Paul don't really like each other. It's as if they're each other's worst enemies. If Randy finds out that I'm dating him, he'll freak out. He'll get mad."

"Now you two have been dating for a month. Does anyone that you work with know?"

"Only two people. Kelly and Shawn."

"That must suck. How do you two find time to be together?"

"It's kind of hard sometimes to be together. I'm in his office all the time though just because we want to see each other and we want to spend time together. Sometimes, I'm in his room or he's in my room after the show. We go out with friends so people would think that we're just hanging out with some mutual friends. Em, if the wrong person finds out about Paul and I, I know for a fact that it will get back to Randy. I hate lying to him. But I don't want to mess up the relationship that we have just because I'm dating someone that he doesn't like."

"I understand where you're coming from. Don't you ever think that in those moments that you two are together, just the two of you, that the wrong person would see you two together and say something to another wrong person and have it get to your brother?"

"Sometimes. But when it's just me and him, I don't think about that for some reason. I just think about being with him and how I feel when I'm with him. That's happy. It's been a while since a guy made me feel like he makes me feel. To top it off, he likes me for all the right reasons. For Paul, it goes beyond looks."

"Yeah, I remember the guys that you were with. They only liked you because of how you looked. I can sense that it's different with this one. He's just different in general from the guys that you used to like and date. So what are you planning on doing about this? I mean, let's say that one year from now, you and Paul are still together. Are you really going to keep this a secret from Randy? No matter how long you two are together?" she asked.

"I don't know." I replied quietly. "I don't know what to do or what to say. I'm torn between wanting Randy to know and not wanting him to know for the simple fact of how he'll react when he finds out. No matter how long it takes for him to find out, it still won't change how he'll react to the situation Em. It won't."

"I won't tell Randy anything about this. But you just have to be careful Alex. You have to be careful about who you're around when you're with Paul. Like you said, the wrong person could see you or find out and it will, for a fact, get back to Randy. I know he's a good guy from what I see so far and I just don't want you getting hurt."

"I know."
