Wednesday, nothing to do today. No autograph signings, no live shows or interviews. Just a day to relax. All of us are soundly asleep, well except for Mike. He's already up and dressed and he decides to wake Aly up.
"Lyssa, come on. Get up." He says, getting his stuff together."
"Nooo..." She groans, hiding her head under the pillows.
"Do you want to get out of Canada or not?" He asks.
She pokes her head out enough to look at him with one eye.
"Where to?" She mumbles.
"Remember? My place in California."
"Aw...on one hand, I don't want to move. On the other hand, I want to get out of Canada..." She sighs from under the pillows.
"I'll move you myself." He jokes, going over to the bed.
She scooches to the middle of the bed.
"Don't even think about tickling me." She threatens.
He smiles and goes over, then reaches over and grabs her, then picking her up. He then walks over to the bathroom and sets her down in the doorway. Aly sighs and gathers her stuff for the day.
"I'll go wake up Alex and Carly, you just get ready."
Aly comes out of the bathroom, yawning. Mike comes into me and Alex's room , and sees the both of us still sleeping. He walks over to our windows and opens the curtains, letting the light flood in.
"Up and at 'em you two." He says.
"Noooo..." I groan, taking the pillow and putting it over my head.
"I guess you want to stay in Canada then."
"Why where are we going?" I mumble from under the pillow.
"My condo...where it's warm and sunny."
"Give me time to get ready."
"Alright, but you better not fall back asleep."
"How can I? I got the bright light flooding the room."
"Just saying." He chuckles, walking back to his and Aly's room.
"Just got to wait on them, then we can leave." He says to Aly, pointing to the door leading to me and Alex's room.
"Mmkay." Aly responds, sprawling out on the bed.
Mike goes over and studies her. She cracks one eye open and raises an eyebrow.
"Since when do you wear glasses?" He asks curiously.
"We've been dating for about 2 months and you never noticed the glasses? Or the contacts?" She laughs, opening both eyes.
"I guess not."
"Yes I wear them you goof. I'm pretty much blind without these or contacts."
"Well there's nothing wrong with wearing them. I just never realized it."
"I just happen to wear my contacts more often since I don't have to worry as much about things happening to them." She shrugs as he lays next to her on the bed.
"Smart idea."
She yelps slightly as he pulls her over to him.
"A little warning would have been nice." She laughs.
"Now where's the fun in that?" He asks, laughing.
"Jerk." She swats his shoulder.
"But you love me." He smiles.
"True." She says, poking his cheeks.
~Alex and I~
It takes me a while to actually get moving, but when I do...I shake Alex a bit to wake him up, or at least try to anyway. He groans faintly and rolls over.
"Time to get up." I say, searching through my bag for clothes.
"Whyyyy..." He whines.
"We're flying out to California where it's warm and sunny, to Mike's place for a few days."
"That actually sounds great." He says, finally sitting up at the mention of warmth and sun.
"Haha, that gets you up I see."
"It's way better than being in cold ass Canada." He says, making a face.
"I agree with you there."
Alex gets up to change as I grab my things, heading into the bathroom to change. I chance into a white, gothic jewel t-shirt...kind of looks like a tank top, along with a jean skirt and black heels. On my right hand I had a black and gold butterfly ring and on the other hand I had a kind of diamond ring. Followed by a bracelet, that had a letter 'A' on it symbolizing Alex. For my make up I had mascara, grey eye shadow, and candy cane lip gloss. To top it all off, I added perfume. I walk out of the bathroom and see Alex staring at me.
"What?"
"You look amazing." He manages to say after failing a few times to speak.
"You always say that." I smile.
"And I honestly mean that." He says, getting up to hug me.
"Well I decided to wear this because depending on how warm it is when we land, I don't want to be dieing in jeans."
"Right."
"To be honest, I really hated skirts when I grew up."
"Somehow that doesn't surprise me." Alex chuckles.
"Why's that?"
"You just seem more comfortable in jeans and things like that." He shrugs.
"Well I was the one to wear jeans all year round, yes that includes the blistering heat, and humid weather."
"You're definately not the average girl. And I am definately okay with that." He smiles.
"Can't find too many people who are, you're one of the few."
"They're missing out then." He says lightly and then kisses me.
"Well let me go tell Mike we're ready so he doesn't come in here and flip out on me, thinking I fell back asleep." I say, after pulling away.
"Alright." Alex laughs.
I walk over to the door and poke my head in.
"Mike...we're all set to go."
"Great, let's roll." Mike declares, pulling away from Aly and helping her off the bed.
I shut the door, then grab my bags...Alex grabs his and we all walk out into the hall and we drive to the airport to head to California. We land after a few hours, and walk off the plane and towards the doors leading outside.
"Helloooooo palm trees, I missed you!" Aly declares as we walk out of the airport in California.
"The warm air is such a relief." I add.
"Oh yes." She agrees, nodding.
We get into a car that's waiting for us and we head to Mike's place.
"We're in Mizwood, haha." Aly laughs.
"You would Aly, you would say that." I state.
"Yes I would, and I did." She smirks.
"That's what it should actually be named...not Hollywood...Mizwood." She adds.
Mike just laughs. We pull up to the place and we get out of the car, grab out things and we head inside. Aly instantly takes her things to Mike's bedroom and sets them down before running and doing a belly flop on the bed.
"Having fun?" Mike asks walking in.
"Yes, I love your bed."
"It's too bad I don't get to relax in it a lot. It's times like these when I savor that moment."
"Right."
"You look tired." He says to her.
"I kind of am, but I don't feel like sleeping."
"Well you can just lay there if you want."
"Will do." She giggles lightly, grabbing a pillow and hugging it.
"Would you like me to join you?" He asks, smirking.
"Up to you." She smirks back.
"Well I don't want to leave you alone in here, haha."
"I'll be fine if you want to go out there." She says, shrugging.
"You sure?"
"Yes, so either get over here or shoo."
"I'll make you a deal, I'll come back in a few minutes. Then after relaxing for a while, we'll go down to the beach."
"Sounds good."
"Alright, enjoy the bed haha." He says, walking out of the room.
"You know, you smell really good." Alex says to me as Mike enters the room and stops dead in his tracks.
"I don't want to know." He states, and I start laughing.
"I'm wearing perfume Mike..." I say, still laughing.
"That was just...awkward." Mike shakes his head.
"You always walk in on the awkward moments."
"I wish I didn't." He replies.
"That's your fault haha."
"I can't help it!" He exclaims, throwing his hands in the air.
"I know, I'm just joking. Relax Mike." I say, before he walks over and sits in his chair.
"So when do you plan on getting me back? You know from that night when I mocked you? And you said you'd wait until I wasn't in pain to get back at me. Haha."
"Just waiting for the perfect timing." He smirks.
"No warning for me?"
"Nope."
"Should I be worried?"
"I don't know, should you?" He asks retorically, still smirking.
"I asked you first haha."
"You know I won't give you straight answers. We've been through this before." He chuckles.
"Yeah, you always avoid those straight answers." I say, him grinning cheesily.
"So what are the plans for today?" I ask, wondering.
"I'm going to go back by Lyssa in a couple minutes, we'll all relax for a while and then we'll head to the beach."
"Warm sunshine and air. This is what I love about this state, you can go to the beach year round, it's never cold here. Just like Florida." I state, Mike and Alex agree.
"Well I'm gonna nap on the couch, wake me up if you need me." I say, heading over to the couch.
Alex flips on the tv and Mike watches with him for a couple minutes before heading back into the bedroom.
"Still awake?" He asks, walking in.
"Yep."
"This feels so much better." He says after walking over and collapsing on the bed, next to Aly."
"Now you see why I've been laying here the whole time."
"I miss this bed." He jokes.
"Well you get to enjoy it for a few days." Aly laughs.
"Good." He mumbles into the pillows.
After relaxing for a bit, it was time to go to the beach. After Aly came out of the bedroom, she came over and woke me up in a way that makes me roll of the couch onto the floor.
"Ow...thanks Aly."
"Oops...sorry." She giggles.
"You know it's not all that easy to get up off the floor when you're wearing a skirt."
"Yeah I know."
I have a hard time getting up, but I grab the couch for support. I pull myself up and fix my clothes.
"You could've woken me up in a less painful way."
"I didn't know you were going to fall off the couch." She giggles lightly.
"Why did you wake me up anyway?" I ask.
"It's time to get ready for the beach."
"Oh alright." I say, grabbing my bag and sitting back down on the couch, going through to find my swimsuit.
Aly disappears back into the bedroom to change herself. I go into the bathroom to change once I find my swimsuit. And once I'm ready, I walk out but wearing shorts over the bottom part of it. Aly walks out too, and goes into the kitchen to get something to drink before we go.
"Alright, I'm ready to go." I say.
Aly comes into the livingroom with her towel drapped over one shoulder and a XXX vitamin water in her hand.
"I'm good."
"Heads up." I warn Alex, before jumping onto his back.
He catches me easily this time and Mike looks at Aly questioningly.
"I'm alright." She laughs.
"Let's go!" I point to the door, and then we head out to the beach.
"Ah, I could sit for hours and just watch the waves." Aly sighs contentedly as we set foot on the nice sand.
"Me too." I agree.
We set our stuff down and Aly puts her hair up in a messy bun and pulls the holder tight.
"There we go."
"Alright, you can put me down now." I say to Alex laughing, then he sets me down.
"Thank you for the ride haha." I add, spreading the towel out on the sand, then sitting on it.
"Glad to help." He chuckles.
Aly then spreads out her towel next to mine
"You're coming swimming with me before you do anything else." Mike smiles, after Aly sets the towel down.
"And if I say no?" She raises and eyebrow.
"You know what I'll do." He smirks.
"Damn you." She mutters, narrowing her eyes.
He and Aly have a stare down until she sighs and takes off her shorts and sunglasses.
"Have fun." I say as she and Mike walk away.
Halfway to the water, Mike decides to pick her up and run to the water.
"Don't you dare drop me." She threatens.
"Like this?" He laughs, dropping her into the water when they got deep enough.
"Yes like that." She answers, coming up above the water's surface.
"You love me." He says, giving a cheely grin.
"Sometimes I wonder..." She sighs.
"And that's usually when you do something uber cute."
"Which is almost all the time." He adds.
"You wish." She laughs, dipping under a wave and swimming out a little deeper.
He laughs with her and then follows her out deeper into the water. Alex and I lounge for a little bit before we come out into the water.
"Yo." Aly greets as we swim up.
"Having fun?" I ask.
"Yup. Loads."
"At least the water's not THAT cold like some beaches. Remember growing up, and the water used to be ice cold?" I ask.
"Oh yeah." Aly says shuddering.
"Sure made me run out at times, but hey that's when you just jump in haha." I say, Aly laughs and agrees.
"That's how I get used to it." I add.
"Yup!"
"We so deserve this time off before Sunday."
"Agreed. It's been exhausting lately."
"Welcome to the life of being in the WWE." Mike adds.
"It makes us appreciate the time off though." Aly points out.
"Even though we do spend time with you guys while we're doing all the WWE stuff, days like this are good too." I add.
"Good point." Alex says.
"You know what I think?" I say back to Alex.
"What?"
"You can't catch me." I say swimming away.
"Oh you're on!" He exclaims, swimming after me.
I swim along, and I happen to look behind me and see him catching up.
"Oh no you don't!" I laugh.
He laughs and swims faster. Aly turns and sees Mike staring at her with an evil grin.
"Ohhh no." She says, starting to swim away.
"Oh yes." He says swimming after her.
"No!"
"I'm going to get you." He says swimming faster.
"Noooo!" She laughs, while swimming as fast as she can.
He catches up to her and grabs her, stopping her from moving.
"Told you I'd get you."
"And now what are you going to do?" She laughs, kicking her legs in the water.
"Well if you stop kicking, I'll put you down haha."
"Well that's no fun." She teases.
"Well, I can try catching you again haha."
She smirks and kisses him, slipping out of his arms and swimming away after she pulls back. He starts swimming after her again, but this time she's too quick for him.
"Haha what now?" She taunts laughing.
She ends up bumping into Alex and he grabs her, having me pinned against his other side.
"Damn. Foiled by the brotherly figure." She exclaims.
"Sucks for you." I say, laughing.
"Not cool DC, not cool." Aly pouts.
"Here you go Mike." He says, laughing as Mike swims over.
"Thanks man." Mike replies, and they high five.
"I wasn't even fast enough to outswim Alex." I say to Aly.
"He's a fish." She comments, snickering.
"Oh come on, I'm at least a shark." Alex jokes.
"Should we call you Bruce now?" She teases.
I couldn't help but laugh a bit at her comment.
"I am a nice shark, not a mindless eating machine. If I am to change this image, I must first change myself. Fish are friends, NOT food." We both recite, giggling.
"If he's a shark, then what's Mike?" I ask giggling.
"Good point...hmmm..."
"What about a pirahna? You know 'cause of those growly faces he makes?" I laugh.
"Hahaha nice!" Aly high fives me, laughing.
"That means I'm the fish. I'm no fish." He jokes.
"Shush, it's funny."
"But wait, don't pirahnas bite?" I ask, joking.
"Don't even-" She starts to say and then he bites her playfully on the neck.
"...bite me." She finishes, sighing with a light giggle.
"Okay, now he'a pirahna haha."
"Yup." Aly agrees.
"So, if I'm a shark and Mike's a pirahna...what are you two?" Alex asks curiously.
"Hmmm, good question." I say.
"I'm that fish that is obsessed with the bubbles." Aly says grinning.
"I have no idea what I am." I add.
"A dolphin? I don't know haha." She muses.
"I don't think so. Dolphins have that habit of attacking sharks or something like that haha."
"It was a suggestion!" She defends, fending me off as I swat at her playfully.
"This is something I'll have to think about." I add.
"You do that. I'm going to go sit for a little while." She giggles.
"Yeah me too, I'm a little tired from swimming around so much." I agree.
"Yeah, relaxing sounds good." Mike adds.
Alex nods and we all swim to shore, going to lay down on the towels. Mike checks twitter and sees a tweet from Zack Ryder, something about a great view or something. He nudges Alex and shows him.
"I think ours is better." Mike says quietly.
"Yeah, definately better than his." Alex agrees.
Mike gets up and takes a picture of us lounging with our sunglasses on, he puts it on twitter and retweets Zack, saying 'I don't think so, mine and Alex's are better', which is accompanied by the picture.
"He wishes he had a view like we do." Alex adds.
"Along with many other people. Be jealous!" Mike says.
"Oh, I think he's been jealous."
"Right." Mike agrees, smirking.
As we were relaxing, one of us ended up falling asleep.
"Okay, I think it's time to go. Carly's out like a light." Aly laughs lightly, rolling over.
"Always going to be the one to fall asleep at the beach." Mike jokes.
"Always has been." Aly says.
"I got her." Alex says, picking me up.
Aly gathers our things and shoves them in the beach bag she brought.
"Okay we're good." She declares, then Mike scoops her up.
"Hey, I can walk you know."
"I know, but I wanted to carry you."
"Okay then." She laughs.
Then they carry us back to the hotel and to our rooms. Mike sets Aly down and she disappears into the bathroom to change into her pjs, while Alex sets about waking me up so I can change. I just groan and protest.
"Come on love, you can go back to sleep once you change."
"Alright." I say, sounding tired.
Alex is already changed, laying down when I come back out. I just collapse onto the bed as soon as I walk over, after yawning.
"Poor you." Alex teases lightlyg, as I scootch up to him.
"Yes, poor me." I laugh.
"Was it worth it though?"
"Yes, it was worth it. I'll sure sleep well tonight."
"Got to love the soothing beach air." Alex says, with a smile.
"Definately." I mumble.
He leans down and kisses me lightly.
"Night love."
I don't answer back, because I had fallen back asleep. Alex chuckles and drifts off to sleep. Aly then comes out of the bathroom after changing and Mike's laying there in the bed as she comes out. She manages not to run into anything and crawls into the bed, laying on him lightly.
"I can tell you're tired now." He points out.
"Yup." She says yawning.
"Well you get some sleep."
"Mmkay, night." She replies, kissing him gently.
