To anyone who's never been on a honeymoon I suggest you go on one and I HIGHLY recommend Maui, Hawaii. If you're not married then go on vacation with your significant other. If you're completely single, well then I'm shedding an invisible tear for you. No really, I am.
Beth and I just got back from our honeymoon in Maui and it was AMAZING! I learned how to surf, Beth took part in hula dancing at one of the luaus we attended, and during the entire week we had amazing mind blowing sex. I thought there wasn't anything better than engagement sex but I was wrong! Honeymoon sex is WAY better!
Beth and I are on our way to the condo right now. I'm holding her hand and I can't stop smiling at her and the same goes for her. I have no idea what condition we're going to find the condo in since Alex had it to herself for a whole week. For all we know she could have thrown a huge party each and every day. It is Alex after all. What I do know is that Alex and Sage got into another argument again sometime during the week. The only reason why I know this is because Paige called Beth and told her about it and then Beth told me about it, of course.
The taxi pulls up to the condo and the driver helps us get our stuff out of the trunk. I pay the driver and Beth and I walk to the front door.
"I'm slightly afraid to go in," I confess to Beth.
"Why," she asks with a questioning look on her face. "This isn't the first time Alex has been by herself. Besides she's not a teenager anymore. I'm sure the place is fine."
I put my key into the lock and take a deep breath. I open the door. Alright so far everything looks the same. Nothing seems out of place.
"See, I told you everything would be ok," Beth says.
"Yeah, maybe you're right. I was worried over nothing."
I leave our bags in the hallway and go to the kitchen because I am really thirsty right now. I walk into the kitchen. HOLY SHIT! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED IN HERE!
"Hey do we have any-." Beth stops talking as soon as she enters the kitchen.
It looks like a fucking hurricane blew through here. There's flour all over the floor and counter. I see egg shells all over the counter, a half empty box of baking soda, and a mixing bowl that looked like it once had ingredients in it. Oh this is totally not cool.
"I'm going to kill her," Beth says.
"Not unless I kill her first."
I leave the disaster zone, formerly known as the kitchen, and walk to the living room.
"Lexie, aim for my mouth!" I hear Paige say and she's laughing.
"Well it's not my fault you're moving around so much," Alex says.
I enter the living room. Oh you have got to be kidding me. It looks like a rainbow exploded in here! There are skittles all over the floor! I look up at Paige and Alex. These two idiots are covered in flour, baking soda, and have egg shells in their hair and they're throwing skittles at each other, trying to catch them in their mouths.
"Hon, we should probably clean up before Beth and Jordan get back," Paige tells Alex.
"We still have a couple of hours," Alex says. "Knowing Jordan she probably took Beth to a hotel after their flight landed."
"Actually we decided to come home when we landed," I tell them.
The bags of skittles instantly hit the floor. Alex and Paige slowing turn around and look at me. I have my arms crossed over my chest and I'm tapping my foot. They're both smiling nervously at me.
"Hey…" Alex greets my nervously and waves.
"So what have you two been up to?" I ask.
Paige shrugs her shoulders. "Oh nothing," she says nonchalant. "Little bit of this, little bit of that."
I laugh as if it's no big deal. "Little bit of this, little bit of that?" I ask. "Would the little bit of this be DESTROYING THE KITCHEN!"
"Funny story aboot that actually," Alex starts.
"Alex Nuñez I'm going to kill you!" Beth yells as she walks into the living room.
Beth stops as soon as she sees what I see. Oh wow, she's like really mad.
"What the- ¡Jode bromearme?" Beth yells.
Ok I have no idea what she just said but I know it's not good, especially since she said it in Spanish. And now she's gone off on a yelling tangent. I have no idea what she's saying and by the looks of it neither Paige nor Alex knows what she's saying either.
"¡Debo matar el ustedes dos en este momento!"
"Umm… I don't really know what you're saying," Alex says. "And if I'm going to get yelled at I'd kind of like to know what the person is saying."
"Oh you want to know what I'm saying?" Beth asks. "Explain now! Explain why it looks like a bakery exploded in the kitchen!"
Paige and Alex look at each other and then back at us.
"Well hon, we wanted to make you cookies," Paige says. "As a 'Welcome Home' present."
Alex is nodding her head eagerly, agree with Paige. "And while we were mixing the ingredients together the mixer started acting crazy."
"Crazy!" Paige exclaims.
"Yeah, crazy. And before we knew it there were ingredients flying everywhere! We couldn't stop it!"
"Yeah hon, we couldn't stop it."
What is she now, Alex's parrot? Paige is just repeating whatever Alex says.
"So after this out of control mixer got shit everywhere you'd figured you come in here and play 'See how many skittles I can't catch with my mouth'?" I ask.
"Well see the thing aboot that is-."
I raise my hand up, telling Alex to not even say another word. Beth and I are looking at Paige and Alex like how parents look at their children when they're in trouble. I honestly hope these two don't actually think I believe their bullshit story. They're both pretty bad liars when they know they're in deep trouble.
"Ok so I'm going to tell you what I really think happened," I tell them. "I think the ONLY part of that bullshit story that is true is the part about y'all wanting to make us cookies. Although knowing Alex she probably just randomly wanted cookies so they were probably for her."
"Hey!" Alex yells.
"Callate Alex!" Beth yells.
"So there you two were, getting the ingredients ready to bake some cookies," I continue my story. "Then all of the sudden for some weird ass reason Alex decided to crack an egg in Paige's hair. As revenge Paige grabs a fist full of flour and throws it at Alex. This eventually turns into Hurricane Cookie in the kitchen. Did I get it right?'
Alex raises her hand slowly and carefully. "Actually Paige cracked the egg in my hair first."
I roll my eyes. "Oh my God, I don't care who started it all I want is to be able to see the kitchen again. Now go clean it." I point down the hallway. "Now!"
Alex and Paige begin their walk to the kitchen with their heads hang down low.
"Sorry," Alex says quietly.
"Sorry," Paige says.
I sigh and sit down on the couch. Beth sits down beside me.
"I can't believe they actually did that," I say out loud.
"I can't believe Alex was actually baking," Beth says.
I turn and look at her with my eyebrow raised. I'm talking about the mess and all she says and that she can't believe Alex was actually baking. I'm living with a bunch of crazy people.
September:
Married life has been good. I love that when I wake up in the middle of the night Beth and I have our arms wrapped around each other. It's like every day is a brand new day of love. Speaking of love, I don't know if too much love is going on between Alex and Sage but Alex and Paige have been spending a lot of time together lately.
School has started back up for Alex and Beth so while they're at school I'm usually sleeping because I work the 11 pm to 5 am shift at the station on the weekdays and then on Friday nights I work from 11 pm till 6am Saturday morning. Yeah I no longer only work on the weekends, I'm moving on up. Paige has been working on her new line but instead of working on it at home or at her office she works on it here. Hey, I don't mind. Paige cooks for us usually, so before I leave for work there's usually a plate of good food on the table.
I don't exactly know how Alex and Sage are doing. I mean Alex is busy with school and Sage is busy with school and her internship so they don't get to talk that much and when they do get to talk to each other it doesn't sound like very long phone calls. Alex has actually been spending more time with Paige in person than she's been talking to Sage on the phone.
Right now it's Sunday, my day off and I'm watching my Glee DVD with Alex. We're both on the couch watching it while Beth and Paige are in the "office" working on their individual work.
"Oh my God, if I wasn't married," I start. "I'd totally try to get with Santana."
"Why?" Alex asks. "She's a total bitch and she's mean to everyone."
"Yeah but she's a hot bitch," I tell her. "And at least you always know where she's coming from with her comments and opinions."
Alex is shaking her head. "You do know she's 16 right?"
"The character may be 16 but the actress isn't."
"Wow, you are a whole different kind of special."
"I'm not the one that likes the dumb blonde."
"Hey now!" Alex exclaims while pointing at me. "Don't come at Brittany like that. She's not dumb. She's innocent, honest, and just a little bit."
"You just have a thing for blondes."
Alex sighs and nods her head. "Yeah, I do."
We start laughing. We continue watching the episode.
"Speaking of blondes," I start. "How's Sage?"
Alex runs a hand through her hair. "She's good," she answers. "I guess. I mean we've both been really busy with school and everything."
It sounds like Alex is keeping something to herself. I press the pause button on the remote. I turn my body so she can see that I'm giving her my full attention.
"Hey, what's up?" I ask.
Alex sighs. "While you and Beth were together, but apart, did you ever feel like she was distancing herself from you?"
I have to think about this. I mean I did get that feeling at the beginning of freshmen year and then Beth broke up with me. Ok, I probably shouldn't tell Alex that.
"What do you mean by she's distancing herself?" I ask.
Alex shrugs her shoulders. "I don't know," she admits. "I just feel like we're not as close as we use to be. I didn't think this long distance thing was going to be so complicated." Alex leans back on the couch. "I really miss her and I'm pretty sure she misses me too."
"Of course she misses you," I tell her, trying to reassure her. "Sage loves you, you know that. The first few months of long distance are always the hardest. But if you two are truly meant to be together then you'll make it."
"Yeah…" Alex says. She doesn't sound too confident. "I'm going to New York over Thanksgiving weekend."
"I'm going to go ahead and assume you mean Canadian Thanksgiving."
Alex nods her head. "Of course," she says. "It'll be good for us. We'll spend some much needed time together."
"Hey," Paige says and walks into the living room. "Oo are you two watching Glee?" she asks excitedly.
"Yep," I tell her. "Care to join us?"
"Of course!" Paige jumps on the couch and sits between me and Alex. "I absolutely adore Rachel Berry."
"Because she reminds you so much of yourself?" Alex asks.
"If by that you mean that Rachel reminds me of my determination and ambition then yes," Paige answers.
"That's not what I meant, but ok."
"Oh shut up Lexie. I'm not the one that only wanted to watch the Brittany scenes while Jordan and Beth were gone."
Alex's eyes widen. "Paigey, you said you wouldn't say anything!"
"Oops," Paige says, but doesn't actually mean it.
"That's it Michalchuk, you're in for it," Alex says threatening.
"Ahh!" Paige screms.
Paige jumps off the couch and starts running. Alex jumps off the couch and chases after her.
"Don't break anything!" I yell at them.
Well the Salex relationship might not be going as strong but I think Alex and Paige are starting to become Palex again.
