He debates for a second and then sighs.
"Alright but I'll need your help. First with a necklace and give me ideas on how to tell her."
"Hmmm, how about this. For the necklace, I suggest a key necklace because she loves those. Number two, to tell her I love you. Do this, just make sure she's semi awake because otherwise this won't work. You can trace those words on her back and have her guess what you traced. Then she'll say 'I love you' first and you won't have to worry. You want me to go with you to help pick a necklace out?"
"That would be great, thanks Carls."
"You're welcome, we'll go later. Right now I want to sleep."
"That's fine." he say chuckling.
"I could use a lay down myself and I need to put this one in bed anyway." he adds looking down at Aly.
Then I started getting all loopy and giggly because I was so tired. I tilt my head back and look at Mike.
"You're upside down!"
"Oookay I think somebody else needs to go to sleep too." he says looking at me.
"Whoa head rush." I say shaking my head.
We walk back to the hotel and head up to the rooms, but we start passing other superstars on our way there. First we passed by Zack Ryder.
"Woo woo woo." I say laughing.
"Is she okay?" he asks about me.
"Yeah, she just gets loopy when she's tired." he says looking at me then Zack.
"You know it." I say still laughing.
Zack laughs a little then looks at Aly.
"What about her?"
"She's sleeping."
"Gotcha."
Then we move on and we end up passing Cody.
"Hey Dashing."
He looks at me weird.
"Is she like drunk or something?"
"She gets loopy when she's tired." Alex says laughing.
"Sometimes I wonder though." Mike adds in.
The next person we pass is Cena.
"You can't see me!" I exclaim.
He laughs after and we move on.
"Ninnies!" I exclaim.
Aly lifts up her head, rubbing her eyes.
"Ninnies? Where?"
"Right there. Heath, Wade, Daid, Justin and Michael. Hello ninnies!"
"Wendy, Lead Ninny, Moocher, Cream Filler and Stripper! Hey!" she exclaims.
"Not her too." Mike says groaning.
"They are too alike for their own good." Alex says sighing.
We pass by Nexus and go into out rooms and we're laughing still.
"Go to sleep Lyssa." Mike says to her as she's laying on the bed.
"Only if you lay with me." she says pouting and opens her arms.
"Deal, but you have to sleep if I do."
"Mmkay..."
He then lays down next to her almost falling asleep himself. Aly cuddles up with him and falls asleep almost immediately after listening to his heartbeat.
"Okay Carly, you have to go to sleep. You're a bit overtired, I can tell." Alex tells me.
"I don't want to..." I whine.
"You need sleep." he states.
"I can't sleep without you here with me." I sigh.
"You promise to go to sleep if I lay there with you?" he asks.
I blush lightly and nod.
"Get over here" I demand.
"So demanding." he chuckles then climbs on the bed and lays beside me.
I fall asleep like that as soon as I basically hug myself closer to him. All of us end up sleeping for hours, I woke up a long time later and it was sort of dark in the room. I reach into my pocket and take my phone out and see that it's after 5.
"How long have I been asleep?"
"Quite a while, but you needed it." Alex says laughing lightly.
"We're you sleeping too or just watching me sleep?" I ask looking at him.
"A little of both." he says smiling.
"You were saying an awful lot of things in your sleep." he adds.
I freeze and my eyes go wide.
"No I wasn't."
"You can't deny it CareBear." he grins.
"You heard nothing."
Alex just laughs.
"I heard everything."
"Crap." I mutter.
"It won't make it out of this room I promise. Just between you and me." he chuckles faintly.
"This is embarassing. I usually don't talk in my sleep unless I'm really tired. I guess I was."
"Oh yes you were. You were loopy and everything."
"One little thing you learned about me, I get tired and I get loopy."
"Just a tad. The other superstars we passed thought you were on drugs or something haha." he says laughing.
"What exactly did I say or do? I don't remember." I say laughing.
He recounts the tale, including how Aly woke up and acted just as loopy as I did.
"Wow, that's the loopiest I've ever been."
"You two were exhausted."
"No more late nights for us."
"At least not on nights after we have a show."
That's when Aly comes into the room and flips on the light. I hide my face in Alex's neck.
"Rise and shine!" she yells.
"No one's home, leave a message." I mumble.
She hops onto the bed and starts poking me.
"Mike's asking for you missy." she says poking me.
"Really? I guess I have to get up then." I still mumble.
"Come on Carls, we need to get going." Mike says coming in.
"Let me just wake up first." I mumble again.
Mike gives me a minute before reaching over and poking me repeatedly.
"Okay, come on!"
"Stop poking me and maybe I will get up."
"I'm making sure you don't fall back asleep."
"I'm talking aren't I? I'm not going to fall back asleep if I'm talking." I say getting up.
"I don't know, you've done it before." he says laughing.
"Do not bring up my talking in my sleep. I just went through that."
"Did again huh?" Aly asks giggling.
"Oh shush." I say throwing a pillow at her.
"Hey!"
"Be thankful I missed."
She sticks her tongue out.
"Well if we're going Mike, let's go."
Mike hops up.
"Let's do this."
He kisses Aly.
"Be back in a bit. Have fun hanging with Alex."
"I always have fun hanging with DC, isn't that right?" she says looking at him.
"Sure Windy." he says laughing.
Mike and I then leave and head to the nearest store to find the necklace, meanwhile she's
sitting there with Alex and then turns to him.
"So...when are you telling Carly you're in love with her?"
"What're you talking about?" he asks.
"Oh please DC, you are so in love with her it isn't even funny."
"Maybe I am, I wouldn't know how to tell her even if I wanted to."
"What would you say if I could help you with that?"
"That'd be great, but how can you help?"
"Carly loves roses. Get her 11 real ones and a fake one and on the card, put that quote that
says 'I'll love you until the last rose dies'. She'll melt."
"That's going to work?"
"DC, I know her about as well as I know myself, she'll love it."
Mike and I spent a really long time finding a necklace for Aly. I found one that really stuck out to me. It was a sterling silver blue topaz and diamone accent key pendant.
"Mike, get this one for her. She'll love it."
We get that one and once it's paid for we walk back to the hotel and back into the room. We see that Alex is making Aly watch horror movies. She's sitting behind him occasionally hitting him with a pillow and squealing.
"That is so creepy and gross! I can't believe you're making me watch this!"
"Alex what're you doing to her?"
"He's making me watch horror movies!"
"Want me to take your place over there Aly? Horror movies don't bug me as much as they bug you."
"Please do! They creep me out..." she says shuddering.
"I have to go out to the store anyway so you don't have to worry Windy." Alex says to her.
"It's your fault for making me watch them in the first place. I'm blaming you if I get nightmares tonight." she says sticking her tongue out.
"You have Mike to keep you safe from them nightmares." he says getting up and shutting the movie off.
"True, I'm still hitting you if I do." she concedes.
"You'll be fine Aly." I laugh.
"We'll see about that." Aly mutters.
