Tuesday, we just got to my place in Tampa. I chose my place because it's better than staying at a hotel.
"Alright guys, I introduce you to my 2nd home."
"Very nice Dolce." Aly comments looking around.
"You haven't seen it?" Alex asks.
"Nu-uh." She shakes her head.
"She got this place while I was in Chicago. I was too busy to come see it when she first got it."
"Ah."
"Well I did need a little vacation home, this is just the outside. You haven't seen nothing yet."
I say as I grab the key and unlock the door, and we walk in.
"Make that REALLY nice." Aly corrects, laughing.
"Wow." Mike says, looking around in surprise.
"I know what you're thinking, how could I afford this...well for years I barely spent any money, so yeah. But feel free to look around. We'll be staying here all week so..."
"Woo, exploring time." Aly declares, bouncing off to go look around.
"I'm going to make sure she doesn't hurt herself doing something." Mike tells me and then walks off after her.
"I heard that." I hear her say.
"I'm not THAT clumsy, yeesh." She adds, and I just laugh turning to face Alex.
"Alright, that leaves me to show you around."
"I'm good with that." He grins.
First we head to the bedroom so we can put our stuff in there.
"This is my room where we'll be sleeping."
"Where the magic happens?" Alex smirks and then yelps as I smack his arm.
"What? That's what they say on Cribs all the time!"
"Yeah and they're kidding about it. When Mike showed his condo for WWE, he made fun of that saying. But there will be no magic making in my bedroom."
"I'm not sure I want to know." Aly comments from the dooryway while Mike snickers behind her.
"Oh just go back to exploring. There's another bedroom further down the hall that you two can sleep in." I say laughing.
Aly shakes her head in amusement before following Mike down the hall.
"Well at least now, we don't have to worry about getting woken up by her, I can lock the door now. But yeah, no magic making in my bedroom." I joke.
Alex laughs and does the 'aw man' snap of the fingers.
"But you still have the rest of the house to see."
We walk out of the room, and I show him every room left, then the backyard.
"And that's everything." I say as we still stand outside.
"Very nice love." Alex says, putting his arms around me.
"I like it." Aly agrees as Mike and her come out.
"Thank you. Cost me a fortune, but it was so worth it."
"I think everyone feels that way when they get their homes." Mike says.
"It's a great feeling."
"And just think, we have like the whole week off. Except for Saturday, you two got the autograph session and a match at FCW." I explain, referring to Mike and Alex.
"Right." Mike and Alex both nod.
"It's going to be nice to not worry about going from place to place for a few days." Aly comments while leaning against Mike's chest, sliding her arms around him and playfully sticking her hands in his back pockets.
"Right, we finally get a break. A well deserved one as a matter of fact."
"And if we're lucky, we'll have minor stalker interference." Mike says, looking down at Aly with an amused face.
"I don't think they'll be a problem. We didn't see them on the plane. We should be stalker free. If any of them call, we ignore them." Aly explains.
"Sounds like a plan." Alex agrees, resting his head on top of mine.
"I don't know about you, but I'm a little tired from that plane ride." I say yawning a bit.
"Uh-huh." Aly agrees, yawning herself.
"Want me to join you in that nap then?" Alex asks me, Mike asks Aly the same.
"Sure, I don't mind." I answer Alex.
"Do I really need to answer that?" Aly raises one eyebrow at Mike.
"You know what my answer is going to be." She says, he laughs and then picks her up.
"Let's go then." He says, heading back inside and to their bedroom.
She yelps a little when he first picks her up and then she laughs, waving at me as he walks inside.
"Later!" She calls, giggling.
Alex and I shake our heads in amusement and then Alex does the same thing to me.
"I'm awake enough to walk you know." I giggle.
"I know, but I like doing this." Alex grins.
"I can't complain myself." I say as we walk inside and back into the room, where he places me on the bed.
"Oh how I've missed this bed, so comfortable." I sigh, he chuckles and climbs in beside me.
"Much better than most of the hotel room." He agrees.
"Oh yes, definately." I say with eyes getting heavier and closing at times, but I keep opening them back up.
"Sleep." He says after kissing me lightly.
He goes to pull away, but I hold the kiss for a bit longer. Then I pull away and snuggle into him and falling asleep. He chuckles a little and then ends up falling asleep himself.
~Mike and Aly~
Mike walks into the bedroom they're using and places her on the bed as well. She smiles at him and kicks her shoes off, crawling under the covers.
"So much better than a hotel room." She sighs happily.
"Oh yeah, I agree with you." He says, laying down next to her.
"I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving." She comments as she scootches over to lay against him.
"Time has really flown."
"It has. Before we know it...it'll be Christmas." He agrees and adds.
"Yeah. And Christmas usually means the evil white stuff." She says, making a face.
"The evil white stuff that we shall not talk about." He laughs.
"Exactly." She nods firmly and then yawns.
"You should sleep. You're yawning, you're tired."
Aly starts to protest a little and then he kisses her.
"Shush, now sleep." He says after pulling away, leaving her in a daze.
She shakes herself our of the daze and begins to fall asleep.
"Sleep well princess." She hears him say quietly before she drifts off.
~Alex and I~
Hours later, I wake up and see Alex going through his things. I stretch and sit up.
"What're you doing?" I ask.
"I got invited to a friend's party. You don't mind do you?" He replies.
"Oh no, not at all. You go have manly fun." I laugh.
"Great." He kisses my cheek and then goes to change.
After he comes back into the room, he grabs some other things.
"Don't stay out too late, I'll miss you too much."
"I'll try not to and I'll miss you too." He smiles and kisses me.
"Alright, go have fun." I smile.
"Will do. Love you."
"Love you too." I reply and he leaves
"What to do now? Oh I know." I say getting up and putting a movie in.
~Aly and Mike~
Aly wakes up to the sound of Alex leaving the house and rubs her eyes sleepily.
"Good evening sleepyhead." Mike says from next to her.
"Hi to you too." She laughs a little as he pulls her back over, seeing as she had rolled away when she woke up.
"You were sleeing for hours, It's like 7 at night now." He explains.
"Oops. I guess I was really tired." She says sheepishly.
"It's okay, you needed the rest."
"So what's the plan for the night?" She asks.
"I don't know, what do you want to do?"
"How about going to the movies?" She suggests.
"Sure, sounds like fun." He says, getting up.
"I think I'm going to change real quick so why don't you tell Dolce what's going on and then
we'll go." She says, also sitting up.
"Alright." He says, getting up and walking down to my room.
Mike knocks and then walks into my room.
"Oh jeez, don't tell me you're watching what I think you're watching." He says after seeing my tv.
"Yes Mike, I'm watching Twilight." I state, he makes a face.
"Just don't turn into one of those crazy fangirls okay?" He teases.
"I won't, I'm just watching the movies until Alex get back anyway."
"Where'd he go?" Mike asks.
"A friend of his invited him to a party tonight. He left a while ago."
"Ah. Well I just wanted to let you know that Lyssa and I are going to go out and see a movie." He says.
"Alright go have fun. Haha."
"We will. Later Carls."
Mike then leaves and goes back to the bedroom where Aly's sitting on the bed, waiting while fiddling around on her phone.
"Ready to go?" He asks.
She jumps, having not noticed him walking into the room.
"You scared me. And yes I'm ready." She says with one hand on her heart.
"Sorry for scaring you. Any idea of what you want to see?"
"Well if you don't mind, I'd like to see that new Disney movie Tangled." She says as they
head out to the car.
"No I don't mind at all, Tangled it is then." He says as they both get in and head off to the
theater.
They go in, get their tickets and snacks before finding good seats. The movie flys by and they walk out.
"I'm going to have to get that on dvd when it comes out, that was so cute." She says as they walk back to the car, swinging their linked hands between them.
He nods in agreement as they get back into the car, and then they start heading back to the house. They get back and there's still no sign of Alex.
"Guess Alex is still at that party." Mike says as they walk into the house.
"That's a little odd. Normally he hates being away from Dolce for even a little while, let alone this long." Aly comments.
"I'm sure he's fine, it's only like after 9pm right now." Mike states.
"True, but I still have a weird feeling and I'm hardly ever wrong..." She trails off, biting her lip.
"Want me to call him and see if he's still at the party?" Mike asks.
"No, he probably wouldn't answer anyway." She shakes her head.
"Maybe this is one of those times where I'm wrong."
That's when I walk out of my room and find them in the livingroom.
"Hey, how was the movie?"
"It was cute, funny too." Aly replies.
"What did you go see?" I ask, sitting on the couch.
"That new Disney movie Tangled." Mike says.
"Oooh, nice." I say, then I see the somewhat worried look on Aly's face.
"Aly, why do you look so worried?"
"DC isn't back yet and I have a weird feeling about it." She replies quietly.
"Ah, well I just got off the phone with him before you walked in and he's still at the party and
he's having fun." I explain, she nods and relaxes a little.
"I guess this is one of those times where I'm wrong." She comments.
"So you finally got away from that Twilight land of yours huh?" Mike asks me laughing.
"Yes I did so hush." I retort, sticking my tongue out.
We all sit there and talk for a while, and it's getting really late...almost midnight. Aly and Mike head to their room to go to bed. Meanwhile, I start to get worried because Alex still isn't back yet. I stand there in front of the window watching for him for a while, then decide to head to bed myself. Before we know it, it's morning and quick check of the house yields no sign of Alex. Aly decides to cook breakfast to take her mind off of the sinking feeling that she's still having. I'm sitting at the table with Mike, talking but I keep glancing out the window for Alex.
"I don't know...he wasn't there next to me when I woke up this morning." I explain to MIke, then we hear the front door open and close.
Aly puts the food down on the table and then Alex walks into the kitchen, looking tired and disgruntled.
"What the hell happened to you?" Aly asks, annoyance seeping into her voice.
I get up and go over to him, and just wrap my arms around him.
"I was so worried about you. I couldn't sleep at all last night. What happened?" I ask, he wraps his arms around me and then winces.
"I was driving back here when I got pulled over. I got arrested on suspicion of DUI and because I refused the breathalyzer test."
"You what? Alex, what were you thinking!" Aly exclaims.
"You refused to take the test? Were you even drinking last night?" I ask, instantly pulling away from him.
"A little but not enough to be drunk or anything." He admits.
"That doesn't mean that you get to refuse the breathalyzer test. What were you thinking? This could possibly cost you your job in the WWE." Aly adds.
"Probably a suspension at the very least." Mike says, shaking his head.
"Oh no...no no no no. That can't happen." I protest, worry appearing on my face again.
"We'll just have to wait and see I guess." Aly says with a small shrug.
"We should probably eat before the food gets cold though."
"Right." I say sitting back down to eat.
"I'm actually going to get some rest since I was up all night and sitting in a jail cell for several hours." Alex says, walking to the bedroom.
Aly bites her tongue to keep from shooting back a mean comment.
"Guess you were right afterall." Mike says to her.
"I was hoping not but once again, the weird feelings prevailed." She sighs.
I'm just sitting there in silence, eating my food. When I'm done, the dishes go into the sink and I go out back and sit out there alone, just thinking. Aly finishes next and puts her things in the sink, walking over to Mike afterwards.
"Take your time. I'm going to go talk to Dolce." She says, kissing his cheek.
He nods and she walks outside to me, I'm staring blankly at the trees."
"You okay?" She asks quietly.
"I don't know, to be completely honest with you."
"I'm not sure I would be either." She admits.
"I don't think he'll lose his job. A suspension is more likely."
"Either way it's bad. Wade, Cody, or Ted will take advantage of the situation and really come after me."
"Mike and I will still be here you know. And if you still don't feel safe then I can see if maybe Matt or somebody can come out until Alex gets back if he's suspended." She adds.
"Well like you said we have to wait and see what happens."
"Right. But Dolce, I know the situation is bad but at least he came back uninjured. Things could have been a lot worse." Aly points out.
"Yeah I know, thank god for him not being hurt."
Aly walks over and sits on the porch swing.
"I really don't know what to say otherwise. Part of me is annoyed that he was stupid enough to do that but the other part is relieved that he's okay. I can't imagine how conflicted you are." She says as she sits beside me.
"Yeah, I just hope things dont get bad for him."
"I hope not." She nods as we swing back and forth.
"I think I'm going to try to get some rest too, since I could barely sleep last night." I say to her.
"Alright. Later Dolce." She smiles a little.
I smile slightly back, walk inside and wave to Mike as I walk by him and quietly open the door to my room when I reach it.
Aly looks up as the sliding glass door opens and Mike steps out.
"Hey babe." She smiles at him.
"So how is she?" He asks, sitting down next to her.
"Conflicted. Upset that this happened but relieved that he wasn't injured. She's also worried about what the stalkers will do if Alex gets suspended." She explains, laying down with her head in his lap.
"If he gets suspended she wont have to worry about Wade, Cody, or Ted because someone will be with her at all times and I'll make sure of that."
"That's what I told her. I said we'll both be there and if needs be, we can get Matt or somebody like that to come out with us so she'll have someone with her." Aly adds.
"Only time will tell what will happen to him. Whatever happens...happens.
"Right. Not much we can do about it." She sighs.
"So I was thinking about maybe going to the beach today, since it is warm out."
"That sounds good. You just want to see another swimsuit don't you?" She teases.
"Maaaaybe." He smirks
She laughs and gets up, walking to the door.
"Better hurry it up WonderBoy." She says over my shoulder with a teasing grin.
He gets up and follows her inside and they both go to the bedroom to get the stuff to change into. They both change and Aly leaves a little note on my nightstand beside my phone telling me where they'll be.
"Okay we're good to go." She tells Mike as she meets him by the door.
They both leave and get into the car and head to the beach. I had woken up to the sound of the front door closing when they left. I stretch slightly before seeing the note on the nightstand. I reach over and grab it, read it and then put it back . Alex rolls over, groaning.
"You dont have to get up, just go back to sleep Alex. I know how tired you are."
"Mmkay." He mumbles sleepily.
I then snuggle closer to him, after turning around, but just lay there awake as he sleeps.
Mike and her climb out of the car at the beach and grab their things, heading for the sand. Once they reach the sand she immediately takes off her flipflops and shoves them in her bag.
"Ah this never gets old." She grins, sticking her feet in the sand.
"I can tell...you do that everytime we go to a beach...haha."
"So sue me, it feels good." She giggles as they walk down further and find a spot to put their
stuff down.
"You know I think we should stay and watch the sunset tonight" He says as they find a spot and put the stuff down.
"That's a great idea. I love doing that." She kisses him lightly and then takes off her cover-up, setting it inside the bag.
After doing that she looks up and sees Mike with a mischevious smirk.
"Oh not that look again." She says, backing up.
"Oh yes." He says coming closer.
"You can't run from me, I can catch you." He laughs.
"A girl can try!" She declares, bolting.
He starts running after her, trying to catch her.
"I'm so going to get you, and you're going in that water haha"
She's laughing and running but soon she gets bored of it and lets him catch her.
"Haha, got you."
"Yeah, I let you catch me."
"Oh really." Mike says as he wades into the water.
"Really." She confirms, clinging to him.
"I've been telling you that I let you catch me when that happens." She adds.
"I can't say I mind." He says, causing her to laugh.
"Cause then I get to do this."
He proceeds to drop her in the water. She comes up sputtering.
"So not cool." She smacks his chest.
"Well it's the quickest way to get used to the water, but you love me anyway." He says grinning.
"Hmm..." She turns my head, not replying in her normal fashion just to mess with him.
"You do still love me right?" He asks, staring at her and waiting for a response.
She turns away, biting her cheek and trying not to laugh.
"Oh come on, say it." He says, then slightly splashes her.
She shakes her head a little and splashes him back without turning around.
"You know you love me, you want to say it, I can tell." He says, trying to get her to look at him
She shakes her head again and he tries to turn her around but she keeps twisting away. She's biting her lip now, struggling not to burst into giggles.
"Alright, you leave me no choice..." He trails off, then starts tickling her.
She dissolves into laughter, squirming and trying to get away.
"I am not stopping until I hear those 3 words from you." He laughs
She fights him a little more and then gives in.
"I love you." She barely says it through her giggles.
He stops after he hears her.
"I love you too." He smiles, then kisses her
She starts to break it but he pulls her closer.
"Somebody's Mister Affectionate today." She laughs when they finally break apart.
"Oh, that's just me showing that I really love you." He smiles.
"Awww. Love you too. I like you being Mister Affectionate." She says with a smile.
"I always will be Mr. Affectionate."
"Good." She grins and pulls him into another kiss.
They spent the whole day in and out of the water, walking around, etc. The sun started setting and that's when they decided to go back onto the beach to relax and watch the sunset like Mike suggested. Mike sits down and she sits between his legs, reclining back against his chest and her head resting on his shoulder. He snakes his arms around her waist and she lays hers on his, tangling their fingers together.
"We should do things like this more often. Spending time by ourselves. We haven't really
gone out on many dates." She says as they watch the sun sink down.
"I know, but hey we have this whole week to ourselves before Survivor Series Sunday and Raw Monday."
"Very true and after that is Thanksgiving." She points out.
"Right, you and I should go back to Ohio so you can meet my family. They have a big dinner the day before Thanksgiving."
She bites her lip nervously and then nods slowly.
"Okay, but you have to go with me to my family's dinner the next day." She compromises.
"Deal. And don't worry, my family will love you...trust me." He smiles reassuringly.
"If you say so..." She muses.
"I do. They'll love you more than they did Maryse when I was dating her." Mike says.
"You actually took her to meet your family? Those poor people." Aly shakes her head.
"That's in the past, that can stay in the past...people in my family have been calling me to see when they get to meet you. They really want to meet you." He explains.
"Oh really?" She questions as the sun finally sets and they start to untangle themselves.
"Yeah, they really do. I can't wait for them to meet you"
"I can't wait for you to meet my family either. They've been asking about you too." Aly says as they gather their stuff and head to the car.
"Well then, I can't wait to meet them either" He smiles as they get into the car.
She smiles back as they start heading back to my house. When they got back and walked in, they see Alex and I sitting on the couch and watching Tv.
"Hey you two, what's up?" Aly says, leaning in the doorway to the livingroom.
"Oh you know just hanging out. Whats up with you?" I say looking over at Aly
"Not too much. Had a good time at the beach, we even stayed to watch the sunset." She replies.
"Awwww, sounds like you had a lot of fun"
"That we did. We also talked about Thanksgiving plans." Mike says, coming up behind her and setting his hands on her hips.
"Really? Alex and I were just talking about the same thing."
"So what are you guys doing?" She asks.
"I'm going to DC with Alex to meet his family and everything and for the dinner."
"Sounds fun. I'm going with to Ohio and then we're going to Chicago the next day for our family thing. You're still going to that right?" She asks me.
"Yeah I still am, don't worry haha."
"Just checking." She grins.
"It wouldn't be the same if you weren't there."
"I would never forget about the family thing. You'll see us there definitely."
"Sounds good. Okay we're gonna go change and then figure out what to do for dinner." Aly says.
"Alright." I say as they walk away.
"Feel better after all that rest?" I ask Alex.
"Yeah, I was exhausted." He replies.
"The good thing about all of this is that you're okay. I was worried that you'd gotten hurt or something."
"I'm sorry I made you worry." Alex sighs.
"It's okay. You're here with me, you're safe, thats all that matters."
He nods a little and pulls me to him, snuggling against me.
"Aww how cute." Aly teases lightly as Mike and her walk back into the room.
"Oh hush." I joke smiling.
Aly just laughs and lets Mike pull her down into the recliner with him.
"So what should we do for dinner? I can cook if we don't feel like going out of the house." She says.
"You cooked this morning, I'll cook the dinner." I reply.
"Alright, just let me know if you need any help." She shrugs, getting comfortable in the chair.
"Will do. Any idea of what you want?"
"How about chili?" Mike suggests.
"Ooh yeahhhhh." Aly agrees.
"I shall make that." I say getting up, then walking out to the kitchen.
"Woohoo. Chili is sooo good." Aly cheers.
"Which is why I suggested it." Mike adds.
"Right." She nods.
"Hey DC, feeling better now?" She asks, looking over at Alex.
"I'm feeling better than this morning, I'm not as tired as I was then."
"That's good." She says, and then gets up, walking over to Alex and smacking him upside the head before returning to her spot.
"Ow, what was that for?" Alex exclaims, rubbing his head.
"For being stupid and making us worry." She replies.
"I have enough crazy brothers to worry about, I don't need to add you to the list."
"How many times do I have to say I'm sorry? I never intended to make you all worry."
"We know but next time please text or call somebody when you leave the party so we don't really have to worry, okay?" She asks.
"Deal Windy." He agrees.
After a while, I'm done with the chili and I yell to them.
"Alright, it's done!"
"Yes!" Aly exclaims, jumping up and running to the kitchen with Mike and Alex in tow.
"Excited much?" Haha." I ask as she comes into the kitchen.
"Heck yes, I'm hungry and chili is awesome." she replies.
"I can tell haha."
We all grab some of the chili, then sit down to eat.
"I'm satisfied now." Aly says after she finishes and sets her things in the sink.
After all the dishes were in the sink, I walked over to wash them.
"You don't have to wash those, you should sit down and relax." Alex says coming over to stop me.
"You two go in the living room, we got this." Mike adds, shooing us out of the kitchen.
"Alright, if you say so." I add, then Aly and I go back into the livingroom.
"Guys that don't mind doing dishes? Gasp." She says to me quietly with a giggle.
"Never thought I'd see the day." I joke.
"I know right?" She laughs and sits in the recliner.
"So any stalker run ins at the beach today?"
"Nope, stalker free." She smiles.
"Looks like a peaceful week for us...finally"
"I know. Its about damn time." She says.
"Peace and quiet. They're probably all focused on Survivor Series anyway."
"True." She nods.
I decide to lay down on the couch and stare at the ceiling while talking to you. That's when Alex appears above me, his face anyway.
"Hello to you too, haha." I laugh looking up at him.
"Hey yourself beautiful." He chuckles and lifts me so he can sit, laying my head in his lap.
"Again, awww how cute." Aly smiles.
I stick my tongue out and then you hear her squeal as Mike picks her up off the recliner so he can sit. I laugh at her reaction.
"Who's saying 'Aw, how cute' now?" I ask.
"Hush you." She retorts, laughing.
"The day went by way too fast today." I point out.
"Definitely." Mike agrees, hugging Aly to him.
"And because I was sleeping all day, I'm not even tired for once." I add.
"Me too." Alex agrees while running his fingers through my hair.
"Although, if you keep doing that...I might just fall asleep." I laugh, looking up at him.
He smirks and keeps doing it. Meanwhile Mike is running his hand up and down Aly's back, causing her eyes to droop and she yawns.
"Look who's falling asleep. I'm telling you, that salt water air you were exposed to today is contributing to that" I say to her.
"Maybe but its mostly WonderBoy putting me to sleep over here." She says sleepily.
"Well, then you can head to bed if you want. Alex and I will be fine out here by ourselves."
"Okay. Night guys." She yawns.
"Night you two." Mike adds, standing with her in his arms.
I wait until I hear the bedroom door close to talk
"Haha, alone again."
Alex grins and leans down to kiss me.
"PDA A-A" We hear Aly's voice after a while.
"What the hell Windy." Alex laughs as we break apart.
"Just getting my water bottle." She says wit a teasing grin.
"Just face it Alex, the only privacy we'll get is in my room...with the door locked" I say.
"Right." He chuckles.
He scoops me up and carries me to our room, locking the door behind him before setting me on the bed gently.
"Well, someone's a little eager for privacy haha" I laugh.
"Don't get me wrong, Windy's my sister but sometimes I want to hurt her haha." Alex says, climbing onto the bed beside me.
"I share that feeling with you, I feel like that sometimes."
"I'm sure you have since you grew up with her." He chuckles.
"She certainly has her moments haha"
"That's for sure."
"But anyway, since you were so eager for this privacy, isn't there something we should finish?" I ask, smiling.
He props himself up and hovers over me.
"And what would that be?" He smirks.
"You know what it is."
"Hmmm...could it be this?" He says before kissing me.
I just smile and kiss back. Eventually he pulls back and rests his forehead against mine
"Love you CareBear."
"Love you too. Now I'm going to go get changed, so you're going to have to move unfortunately."
He pouts but moves reluctantly. I go into my bathroom to change and when I come out, he's already changed and laying in his spot. I lay down next to him and get under the covers, turning on the Tv to watch it for a while. Eventually, I end up falling asleep watching it.
