Chapter 23

Alexandria

It's now been almost 7 weeks since I had my surgery on my back to repair the disk that was damaged. I've been going to rehab and it's healing pretty good. I still have to be out for a couple of months and probably won't be back in the ring until the summer at the earliest. Until then, I'm trying to just relax and take it easy so I can heal properly and be 100% when I do return.

"How are you and Paul?" asked Samantha.

Paul's been on the road for about two weeks now and I really miss him.

"We're doing really good. I miss him though." I replied.

"Didn't you say that your doctor said that you're good to go as far as travel goes?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"Why don't you surprise him by going to whatever city or town that he's in? Find out where they are as well as when he has his days off and when he'll be more likely to come home and surprise him."

"You think he'll like that?" I asked.

"In case you haven't noticed, he's crazy about you. You are his fiancee and he loves you. Didn't you tell me that the two of you talk on the phone every night?"

"Yes. I'll think about it." I replied.

"I know you'll end up doing it. I bet you that. You're crazy sometimes. Just like your brother."

"Hey" I replied smiling. "I'm not that crazy." I added quietly.

Over the next hour or so, I called Kelly to see if she knew what the schedule was going to be for the next couple of days. Then I called Paul to see if he had any days off and if there was any chance that he would come home before I even have a chance to go to him. After all of that, I got a plane ticket for tomorrow morning for Los Angeles, California. Paul was going to be there for just an appearance, a meeting and the event that RAW had tomorrow night at the Staples Center Arena. I can't wait to see him.

PAUL

I've been pretty busy today. I had a meeting that lasted a little over an hour and then I had an appearance that I had to make right afterwards. To top it off, I barely got any sleep last night so I'm pretty cranky. After my appearance was done and over with, instead of going to my hotel room to sleep, I went with Shawn to get something for Alex.

"Anywhere specific you want to go to?" Asked Shawn.

"Jewelry store. Zales." He looked at me like he wanted to say something. "What? I want to get her a bracelet. And maybe even a necklace." I replied saying the last part quietly.

"Might as well get some for Debra too."

"You're not insisting..."

"I meant myself Paul. Jeez."

I smacked him in his arm.

"Hey, what was that for?"

"I don't know. I just felt like doing it." I replied.

"You need to get some sleep." He told me.

"When we get back to the hotel, if we still have enough time, I'm going to sleep. Let me just get her something."

ALEXANDRIA

I finally got here to Los Angeles and I'm going to catch a cab to the hotel. Paul still doesn't know that I'm here. He still thinks that I'm in St. Louis. But that's the whole point for surprising him. When I got to the hotel, I went up to the front desk.

"How may we help you today?" asked the young man that was at the front desk.

"Yes. Can you tell me what room Paul Levesque is staying in?" I asked.

He typed in some thing on the computer as I heard him repeat his name under his breath. "He's staying in room 523 on the fifth floor."

"Okay, thank you. Do you happen to have an extra key?" I asked.

He looked for the key and gave it to me.

"Thanks again." I replied. I grabbed my bags and walked to the elevator. As I waited, I looked at my phone to see the time. It was now almost 3 in the afternoon. My flight got delayed because of rain and wind otherwise, I would have been here earlier. But I'm still glad that I got here. I got in the elevator and pressed the button for the 5th floor and I waited patiently to get there. When I did, I looked from left to right to see the numbers of the rooms.

When I finally got to room 523, I smiled. I knocked on the door and put the key in. I saw some of Paul's things when I walked in and heard someone moving around. I close the door lightly and saw Paul come from the bedroom. He was in a wife beater and sweats. He looked good. He grinned and I smiled as he walked up to me. He cupped my face with my hands and kissed me passionately and with such urgency. After what seemed like forever kissing, he pulled away and held me close when he wrapped his arms around me.

"You're here."

"The doctor said I could finally travel again. So I decided to come surprise you." I replied. "And I really missed you. So yeah."

He kissed me again and took me to the bedroom when he took my hand.

"What about my bags?" I asked.

"We'll worry about them later."

TWO HOURS LATER

I lay in Paul's arms and with my head on his chest. I lightly draw patterns on his stomach with my fingers. I looked up at him and saw that he was sleeping. I gently got out of bed and went to take a quick shower. When I get out, I put on his shirt and a pair of hist basketball shorts and start to get my bags from where I left them. I feel a pair of arms wrap around me and when I look, it's Paul giving me a sleepy smile.

"I've missed you." He whispered in my ear.

"I missed you, too." I replied.

"I'm really happy you're here."

I smiled. "Me too."

"See, now I get to show off my fiancee to everyone."

I couldn't help but smile at that. "You better. I'd be worried if you didn't." I teased.

He let out a soft chuckle. "I'm going to take a shower and we'll go to the arena afterwards okay?"

"Alright."

He gave me a kiss and went to the bathroom.

PAUL

It's not a dream that she's really here in LA with me. She was given the okay to travel and she came here. I'm really going to show her off and I want to let the whole world know who I'm going to marry. I got out of the shower to see her already getting dressed. I myself got dressed and couldn't keep my hands off of her.

"You're going to be late if you don't stop." She told me while she giggled.

"I don't care. I rather be with you." I replied. I finally got her to settle in my arms. She smelled like lavender and vanilla. I stared into her blue eyes and nearly got lost in them. "You're the best thing that has happened since I've been on the road these two weeks. Thank you for coming out here. I really appreciate it."

She gave me a sweet kiss and smiled. I pressed my forehead against hers and smiled back. "Let's go."

I grabbed her hand and intertwined our fingers together as we made our way out the room and towards the car. When we got to the arena, I continued to hold her hand as we walked around backstage.

"Alex!" Exclaimed Kelly. These two have been the best of friends ever since Alex came here. "I missed you!" She said as they hugged. A couple of the other Divas that she was friends with came along when they saw her. Shawn and Randy came up to me. Our conversation was interrupted by the excited exclaims of the girls. Alex looked around until her eyes met mine.

"Sorry."

I couldn't help but smile at her.

"I didn't know she was coming." said Shawn.

"Me either." I replied. "She just got here today."

"At least you don't have to wait until you get back to St. Louis to see her." Added Randy.

I started walking towards them and I was about to put my arms around Alex when the girls came and hugged me and told me congratulations. When they stepped back, Alex stepped beside me and I automatically wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her close. We heard someone clear their throat and when we looked, it was Stephanie.

"You gotta be kidding me." I mumbled under my breath.

"Paul, meeting. Now."

"Is it optional?" I asked.

"Are you really asking me that?"

"How about someone takes some notes for me? I can look over them afterwards." I replied.

"Paul."

"What?"

"Sweetie" I heard Alexandria whisper. "Go. I don't want to get you into trouble."

I sighed. "Alright. Stephanie, you owe me big time."

"How?"

"I'll think about it." I replied. As I started to walk away, I stopped and went back to Alexandria. "I want to see you in my office when I get out of this meeting. I'll get someone to open the door for you." I whispered in her ear and gave her a wink.

"Okay." She replied smiling.

ALEXANDRIA

After I caught up with some of my friends, I decided to go to Paul's office and wait for him there since he said to be in his office. I closed the door and sat in his chair. I started to play around with some of the things in his office when I got bored. I didn't like it to much when he was in meetings. I heard someone at the door. I stopped what I was doing and listened closely. The door opened and it was Paul. He had taken off his jacket and had some juice. I smiled when I saw him. He closed the door behind him, walked up to me and gave me a kiss.

I got out of his chair, let him sit down and when I was going to get another chair, he grabbed my hand and let me sit on his lap.

"You're not going anywhere." he told me softly.

"I wasn't going to." I replied. He picked me up and sat me on his desk. He went to lock the door and came back to me. He kissed me and started to kiss my neck. I dug my hands in his hair to help keep him there as I felt him gently suck on my neck.

"I want you to show me what you were planning on doing to me when I got back home." He whispered huskily.

"Now?" I asked quietly.

"I don't want to wait."

"You don't have anything else that you have to do?" I asked as he pulled me close and felt his hands going up my shirt.

"Nope." He replied.

I unbuttoned his shirt and let my hands roam free up and down his stomach and chest as he licked and nipped at my ear. I would tug on his hair every time he did something I liked and got a groan from him as a reward. He pulled away enough to take his shirt off took off my shirt. He got me off the desk and got me out of my pants.

"I've missed you." He whispered huskily. The way he said it sent shivers up my spine. I've missed him too.

Thanks for the reviews that I've gotten so far. I really appreciate it. I got a new story called "The Darkest Surrender". Hope everyone likes that story as well. XOXO
