**5 Days later…**

Stephen and Alicia spent their final night at Stephen's house enjoying each other's company, among other things. They opted to take a later flight, arriving just 2 hours before the Live RAW taping at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis. They were quickly ushered from the airport by taxi and had to change clothes quickly for the pre-show Meet and Greet with the fans. It was hard to leave Tampa so soon as Alicia wanted to spend more alone time with Stephen, but duty called for them both and any feelings of calling in sick to have extra time had to be ignored. In a way it was bittersweet to her as tonight she would be reunited with her twin brother Samuel so she had that to look forward to. It'd been several months since they seen one another since Alicia was always traveling and Sam seemed to be equally busy with his own life, going to school and working full-time. This was an excellent opportunity for the once inseparable duo to be together once again and catch up on many things.

"I have to go to the East Wing for a press event Stephen. I'll see you after the show OK?!" Alicia called from the locker room that they shared. Normally the WWE prevented Superstars and Divas from sharing locker rooms but upper management made few exceptions, Alicia and Stephen were one of those exceptions.

"OK ALICIA!" Stephen yelled back. Stephen was taking a quick shower after an infant child he'd met at the airport drooled and vomited on his chest. The mother of the child profusely apologized but Stephen shrugged it off. It wasn't a big deal to have a baby puke on him. As long as his fans were happy, so was he. He continued to lather himself with the moisturizing body bar that Alicia had bought for him as a random gift during his birthday. She's noticed that he itched and scratched all the time because his skin was so dry and moisture-less. Stephen was a man's man who didn't worry too much about skin care but he had to admit that it wasn't so bad taking care of one's skin. This led him to try other products and he quite liked them. After he finished washing up, he dried himself off and put on his black and green ring gear, sporting the proud "Laoch" in bold letters on his front attire. One of the stage hands said his meet and greet would be pushed back to after the show so he used the extra time to prep himself for his match with The Big Show by heading to the arena's gym. He took one last glance at the mirror to make sure his hair was spiky enough before exiting the locker room. He walked down the halls, greeting several of his colleagues in the process when someone beckoned his attention from afar.

"HEY STEPHEN!" He heard a familiar voice call out to him. The Boston Native jogged down towards Stephen to catch up with his brisk pace.

"Yeah Cena?" Stephen asked. He stopped and turned around to meet his once on-screen rival now turned best mate and close friend.

"Man, you have got to see Alicia's brother. He's...its freaky."

"You mean Sam?" Stephen asked. "He's here already?" Again Stephen wasn't too thrilled meeting Sam. He couldn't put his finger on why he was so reluctant to meet his better half's brother. He really didn't' have a concrete reason.

"YEAH! I freaked out at first cause i thought Alicia had cut off all her hair and went goth with all the black clothes and shoes but then i realized it was a man. He told me he was her brother and we talked for a bit. He's really cool and super smart but kinda arrogant but in a hot way. They even sound almost alike. The resemblance is weird."

"I'm sure that has something to do with the fact that they are...i don't know John, twins perhaps?" Stephen replied sarcastically.

"Um whatever ass clown. You got a match tonight?"

"Yes John, I have a match. I don't normally wear stylized underwear and boots in a place full of thousands for nothing you know."

"Tried and failed Irish lug. You could just be cutting a promo tonight and not wrestling. You really gotta think before you say things Stephen."

"OK sure Cena. Look I gotta go. Talk to you later."

"Sure thing. Bye."

Stephen rolled his eyes as John jogged way. He didn't seem to be too much in a chatty mood so he continued towards the Gym to do some warmups not saying much to the people he passed by. He approached the gym entrance when he heard a soft laugh. He smiled and turned to see the person who made it. He sauntered to them and wrapped his thick arms around the waist of the slender yet tall body in front on him and planted a sweet kiss along the neck.

"Alicia sweetie I thought—" Stephen froze when he noticed the smell and profile of the person he was hugging wasn't that of his girlfriend Alicia. He smelled masculine cologne and brushing against the other's face he felt facial stubble against his neatly trimmed beard. He instantly jumped away and shook his head in confusion.

"Wow man I'm sorry I though you were my gir—" He took time to pause again when the person he was accidentally intimate with turned around and faced him directly. The eyes were the same, the facial features were the same, the high and body build were similar enough. But it wasn't Alicia. It was Sam.

"Um hi…" Sam said with a investigative tone. He kept his gaze away from Stephen's rapidly roaming eyes and flushed cheeks. He was embarrassed to say the least and didn't know how to diffuse the now increasingly awkward situation. His sister's boyfriend just mistaken him for her and kissed him!

"Gosh Samuel I'm soo sorry I didn't realize—"

"The next time you call me Samuel you will lose an arm. And its OK. It happens. More often than you think actually which I find kinda weird. More often than I'd like to admit so I won't. Now you're Stephen I assume? I seen pictures of you. Don't really watch wrestling as I don't care for organized violence but whatever its cool. Pays the bills I guess. Now the pressing issue. Where is my sister?" Stephen was surprised Sam was able to say that entire speech without so much taking a breath. Like Alicia had told him and John confirmed, he had a bit of arrogance to him and was a rapid talker. He further noticed his attire was dark and goth-like, a bit depressing in some instances. The sharply trimmed circle beard he sported gave much definition to his face to reduce the resemblance between himself and Alicia, who was now approaching them.

"HERE!" Stephen spun around and saw Alicia running towards them head on. He nearly was ran over by the petite female when she went to hug her seemingly annoyed brother.

"Alicia… Please don't hug me I don't like hugs you know I don't like hugs why are you hugging me now at this point in time?"

"Sam, you really need to shut up and stop being so…you!" Alicia reluctantly let go of her brother and beamed at Stephen, who was flushed with embarrassment from earlier events.

"Well, Stephen, this is my brother Sam and Sam, this is Stephen." She smiled.

"Yes we already met." Sam replied. "It was interesting meeting him. He—" Stephen got wide-eyed thinking Sam would tell Alicia what happened so he interjected.

"Uh yeah Lass it was good meeting Sam. You two should catch up some you know so I will head off to the gym to get ready for my match. Nice meeting you Sam. Bye." Without warning or permission Stephen hastily walked off leaving a confused Alicia and a uninterested Sam in his wake.

**2 Hours Later**

Stephen won his match against The Big Show after a long and grueling match and went to go take a shower to remove all the sweat and odor that accumulated on his body. He hoped that Sam wasn't in his locker room that he shared with Alicia. He hesitated before opening the door.

"Hey Stephen." Alicia greeted him. His eyes wandered around the room to search for Sam and was relieved when he was nowhere to be found.

"He let for the evening to his hotel room. It was nice to see him. I missed him so much and we had a lot to catch up on."

"Im sure it was Alicia." Stephen replied. He began peeling off his attire and got a towel from one of his bags. Alicia whistled when Stephen bent over to get it, seeing an unrestricted view of his pasty ass. He ignored her and headed towards the shower.

"Wait Stephen." She said.

"What?" Stephen asked, not turning around.

"We are staying in St. Louis 'til tomorrow night right?"

Stephen nodded.

"OK good. I invited Sam to have dinner with us at our hotel room. I hope you don't mind too much?"

Stephen groaned silently. To be honest he really didn't feel like interacting with Sam any longer. He still felt flustered about their encounter earlier and didn't want that to be brought up during conversation or thought about at all. He paused for a few seconds before answering.

"Sure Lass that's fine with me. Can't wait."

"EXCELLENT! I'll go out tomorrow and buy some supplies. Goat Cheese and Spinach Pizza is his favorite dish right now so I'll make that. It changes all the time so gotta make it soon before it does. Well you go and take your shower. I'll meet you at the hotel."

Stephen nodded and continued into the shower. This was going to be an interesting week for him.
