It's now Friday and we're in California still, today is a media day for Mike and Alex as we lead up to Elimination Chamber Sunday. We all had to get up early since we had a lot of things in the morning to go to. I got dressed in a blue sequin trim top and a white skirt. Of course the typical jewelry, engagement and promise rings, blue bangles, heat necklace and earrings. Makeup was the same as well...blue eyeshadow, blue China Glaze nail polish and California Kissin' lip gloss. I finished everything off with Midnight Poison perfume from Dior.
I walk out of the bathroom after changing and grab my shoes, sitting on the bed to put them on.
Alex walks over and kisses my cheek, smiling as he looks me over.
"We're matching again." He comments.
I look up at him for a second to get a good look at what he's wearing.
"Indeed we are...with the color you like on me...blue."
He grins.
"I swear we tell each other what we're wearing telepathically."
"It seems like it." He chuckles.
"Well at least we're still in California...no winter jacket." I say, finishing with putting the other shoe on and standing up.
"Yeah." Alex agrees.
"I miss this warm weather...so much."
"Only a month or two left and it'll be warmer."
"Can't wait for that..."
"Before we know it, it'll be June." He smiles.
"Can't wait for that either." I smile back.
He chuckles and wraps me in a hug, kissing my forehead.
"Me either."
"I'd love to stand here hugging you all day, but I think we have to get going." I laugh.
He laughs and lets me go. Then we head out and down to the car to wait for Aly and Mike. She comes out of the bathroom, all ready but barefoot. She goes over to where her flats are and sticks her feet in them one at a time.
"You know if you don't want to come along because of your knee, you don't have to."
"I know."
"But I want to come...I'll be fine."
"You sure?"
"Yes." She says, giving him a small smile.
"Alright, just making sure."
"I know you are. Thank you for asking." She kisses his cheek.
"That's my job, to be concerned about these things. But anyway, shall we get going?"
She nods and they head down to the car. Once outside the car, they both get in and we head off to the long media day ahead of us. We get to the first place and pile out. We head inside the radio station, then the studio and wait for everything to start as we sit next to Mike and Alex at the table. After sitting down, Aly immediately reaches for Mike's hand, laying her head against his shoulder.
"This is what I miss while on crutches...I can't hold your hand or anything while I use them." She mutters to Mike.
"Hopefully you'll be off crutches soon." He replies quietly, sliding his fingers in between hers.
After a while, the radio show started and everything.
"So uh...what's up guys?"
"Are we back to normal now?" Mike asks jokingly.
Then they all started joking around.
"I started talking gangster, but I got distracted by his Burberry tie." The DJ said about Mike.
We both snicker.
"Yeah, you know what...you know what's funny? I do a bunch of interviews and everybody says something about my Burberry tie. What is worse? That you actually know that it's a Burberry tie or that I'm actually wearing it? I'm trying to figure that out."
The rest of us laugh.
"Well I want to know, real or fake?"
"Of course it's real..."
"No, I'm not talking about the tie."
"...I'm the WWE Champion."
"I'm not talking about your tie, I'm talking about..." The DJ trails off pointing at Mike.
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"I'm not talking about wrestling either, I'm talking about Coral's boobs."
We both put a hand over our faces.
"Ohhhhhhhh!" Mike exclaims and so does Alex.
"I think they're fake."
"They're real." Mike comments.
"Really?"
"Yeah. You know...really. Really they are really real."
"They look like a really good job...like if you paid good money for those."
"No, they're real. Yeah, I lived with them for 6 months."
Aly's just shaking her head, and trying not to laugh.
"And you guys are still friends right?"
"She actually lives in the San Francisco area."
"Yeah she's here in the Bay, and that's what's so exciting about it. Which is why I was excited about you coming in here..."
"You were basically just like can I get her number..."
We laugh.
"The only reason you...it wasn't to help promote the Elimination Chamber this Sunday, it was...for Coral. Wait the Miz is coming, the guy from the Real World...isn't Coral on that show? Yes she was."
"The Miz is going to give you a number, is it real or fake? That's going to be fake too." The other DJ added.
"That's going to be fake too?"
"He's not going to give you her number."
"He has to give me her number, because I want to take her out on the Bay and motorboat."
The first DJ says shaking his head back and forth making noises.
"It'd be so romantic. She loves guys like you. I mean, she's never had that one happen before."
Aly and I exchange amused looks.
"Can I check out your belt? That's so cool."
"It is a title only because you can buy a belt at target, but okay sure."
"Oh, I'm sorrry."
"Yes."
"I didn't get it correct."
"Daaamn!" Both DJs exclaim about how heavy the belt is.
"This is heavy feel this. With the name on there..."
"Wow, that..."
"Feel how heavy that is."
"They're heavier than they look." Aly laughs a little.
"Okay so let me...for real for real...okay. So I am..."
"Have you ever hit anyone with this?"
"What's that? Yes." Mike asks then states.
"You have?"
"I have hit people actually. I think I've hit Alex quite a few times..."
"He missed aiming for Cena and hit me one time, put me in the hospital for two weeks." Alex jokes, then laughs.
"That wasn't funny." I mutter.
"But seriously, honestly..."
"My head swelled up like a grapefruit." Alex jokes again.
"You have a wonderful tie as well..." The DJ says to Alex.
"Why thank you."
"...and I know that you got that at Nordstrom."
"Now I did not get this at Nordstrom..."
"Yes you did, I have the same one."
"...I would've loved to. You know what this is? If this is Burberry what is this?" Alex asks
pointing at Mike's tie and then his own.
"This is...this is Paisley. This is a nice Paisley tie."
"Is it really? It's beautiful."
"Yeah it was very expensive this tie."
"I bet it was and that's another thing..."
"I sold my house for this tie." Alex jokes again.
We laugh and shake out heads.
"I am super proud of you, because I am a fan of reality tv and you were on the Real World..just messing around being the Miz. Just joking, playing with other roomates, putting them in headlocks and things like that...jumping off of beds. How did that go from there to now being the WWE Champion?"
"Alright long story short because we only have so much amount of time. Alright so uh...after the Real World I went to an independent wrestling school called UPW. Started wrestling there while I was doing all the Real World/Road Rules challenges. Um started wrestling...WWE never really called but then finally uh..."
"They did a reality show."
"They did a reality show called Tough Enough and uh I basically tried out for Tough Enough, made it on Tough Enough, didn't win Tough Enough...which you can win a WWE contract. But I impressed the executives so much that they gave me a developmental contract to the paycut from doing all the reality shows, to go to developmental territory in Deep South wrestling in Atlanta. Then moved up to OVW, which is Ohio Valley Wrestling, which is another WWE developmental territory. Finally made it onto Friday Night Smackdown..."
Aly smiles and squeezes Mike's hand as he recounts his story of how he made it where he is today.
"I thought you said long story short..."
"...as the host...we're still going, we're still going. As the host...short version by the way. Made it on Friday Night Smackdown as the host, then finally worked my way up...worked my way up...worked my way up, until finally I gained the respect of everyone...won a bunch of championships and now I'm finally the head honcho the WWE Champion the Miz. See ya' buh-bye."
We laugh.
"There it is."
"Come to Elimination Chamber this Sunday."
"Alex do you have any shorter stories?"
"Uh, much shorter...much shorter career so far and story. Yeah I was on a quote on quote reality show they did called NXT 2."
"That's right!"
"On the Syfy network."
"If I may add something, that's actually where he and I met." I add.
"Oh really?"
"Yep, of course if you paid attention to the show, you wouldn't have known who I was until the middle of the season."
"Which was by my doing." Mike interjects.
"And we thank him everyday for that." Alex adds.
Mike laughs and briefly explains me coming on the road with him and then him getting me on NXT for the kissing challenge.
"I saw that actually, yes. But Jennifer Hudson's uh husband is...was on that. David Otunga." The DJ points and says to the other DJ.
"Yeah they're married. He's married to Jennifer Hudson." The first DJ says, but absentmindedly points to Alex.
"You're married to Jennifer Husband..." The 2nd DJ messes up, but laughs about it.
Of course Alex goes along with the little joke to amuse the radio people.
"For Valentine's Day I took her to Chili's."
"Oh! Whoa!"
"Are you a Chili's guy? We had this discussion earlier." Alex laughs.
Aly and I look at eachother and try not to laugh.
"He also put her on Weight Watchers, so the point system was in full effect."
"Wait a second wait a second, by the way...do you take a first date to Chili's?" Mike asks.
"Absolutely you do."
"Abso...thank you very much." Alex says, reaching over and shaking the DJ's hand.
"Let's get a woman's opinion on this...uh go ahead.." Mike says to the girl in the studio with all of us.
"Honestly I'm okay with free food...Chili's..."
"Wowww, no no no you do not take your first date to Chili's. And you guys are the first 3 people to ever say 'yeah you can take your first date to Chili's'. You don't take dates to Chili's!"
We start laughing.
"Are you kidding me?"
"His tie's not going to Chili's."
"No you take her somewhere fancy, somewhere nice, somewhere where she feels special like a woman. You treat her like a woman, like the woman that she is...the special being that she is. You don't take her to Chili's!" Mike explains.
"But you want your girl to love you just the way you are, on the couch or not." Alex comments.
"Awww." I squeeze his arm and smile.
"Bruno Mars man, just the way you are." The DJ adds.
"Ohhhh god, now we're gonna start singing 'Grenade' as well?" Mike asks, jokingly of course.
"Oh jeez let's not start an impromptu song fest." Aly laughs.
"Mike'll star singing Lady Gaga or something."
"Haha right? Poker Face for him...and We R Who We R for both him and Alex." I add, laughing.
Aly nods, still laughing.
"Well since we're on the subject of first dates, tell us...what did you do for your first dates?"
"We went to a nice restaurant and then went for a while on the beach." I say with a smile.
"And we went mini golfing and had pizza." Aly adds about her and Mike.
We crack up when the DJs point at Mike like 'HEY!'
"You were just talking about not taking a first date to Chili's and your first date was minigolf and pizza."
"He's made up for it since then." Aly laughs.
Then Mike and the DJ get int an arguement about the Giants baseball team, because the DJ had a Giant's jacket on.
"Listen I get they won the World Series...okay that was like 6 months ago."
"You're just mad because you're not the only champion in the city right now."
"Ohhh that's it...that's exactly...I'm the only champion in Cleveland and that's where the real city is. That's where the real money is."
"Ohhhhhh!"
"Cleveland, Ohio baby..what!"
"Dork." Aly giggles.
"You know what...who...I think it was uh Bob Hope did a song or something like that, or did a comedy joke back in the day. It said that if I had a brother in jail and a brother in Cleveland...I'd get the guy out of Cleveland first. Okay? So there goes.."
"Ohhhhh you're taking Bob Hope's lines. Be original...be original okay?"
"I want to stay in touch with the people of today and they care about Bob Hope. But they also care about is...and you're the only champion that will be competing on Sunday on Pay Per View in Oakland my dog."
"Yes."
"And I wouldn't wear that on East 14th, because that might get tooken and I'm not talking about in a wrestling match."
"I didn't know there was a word called tooken. But uh...there's new words in San Francisco, tooken is it."
"Your championship belt is so flashy, it's so flossy that you may have trouble getting acorss that bridge."
"I think I'll be alright. I am the WWE Champion, with my Burberry tie."
"I respect your Burberry tie."
"With my Burberry tie."
"And your girl." One DJ adds.
"Wife." Mike corrects.
"Wife? Really?"
"Yes."
Mike flips their joined hands over so they see his wedding ring.
"It was kind of revealed on Raw this past Monday, if you were paying attention."
"I was but I must have missed that part."
"Well it was shown during the kiss cam thing they had for Valentine's Day."
"Ohhh."
"I don't thing OG little nut nut though on East 14th...will like it too much. But WWE is going on this Sunday...pay per view go to the Oakland arena if you want to go check it out. Or you can get it on pay per view...right?" The DJ points at Mike.
"Yeah tickets are starting at $25 uh...the WWE Champion me, myself will be taking on Jerry 'The King' Lawler."
"And the guy with the better tie..."
"As well with the Elimination Chamber match. You got the Raw Elimination Chamber match as well as the Smackdown. So you got two Elimination Chamber matches, it's going to be incredible, it's going to be a great event and uh definately stop on by."
"And the guy with the better tie, Alex Riley is going to be in the ring too right?"
"I don't know about that."
"At least equal, at least equal."
Then they talk about Chili's again real quick before the Radio show ends and we say bye to everyone and thank them for having us, then leave and head out to the car. Aly just shakes her head and laughs as we get in the car.
"Well that was amusing."
"Indeed it was...arguing over ties and everything...so funny."
Aly nods in agreement. Mike and Alex laugh. Then we head off to the next interview. When we get there, we walk in with Mike and Alex and wait outside this office that they walked into.
"Doug, we have made it...we have made it. Thank you for having us."
"I really appreciate it."
"Thank you, no thank you very much for having..."
"Wait, what's this?" Mike asks as he looks over at the wall.
"John Cena." Doug states.
We look at him amused.
"W...I'm the WWE Champion. Why do you have posters...pictures of John Cena in your office? Don't you understand that I'm the WWE Champion, I'm the most must see WWE Champion in the history of this company. Why do you have John Cena...pictures of him in your office?"
"Take this down." Alex demands.
"Now!"
"Now!" Alex repeats and Doug starts to take them down.
"You should have pictures of WWE Divas, Brooklyn Decker, any hot chick, the Miz..I don't care anyone. Anyone besides John Cena! What is wrong with you? I come here out of the goodness of my heart..." Mike goes on before everyone starts yelling...Mike, Alex and one of the guys doing the interview.
Aly and I look at each other like 'Oh jeez'.
They're still arguing as the guy takes Mike out of the office and then we all walk off to go out for the interview.
"Unbeliveable! Unbelieveable! John Cena? Come on! I need to calm down. I need to calm down." Mike still rants, then starts calming down.
"You alright? You need a water or anything?" Alex asks.
"I'm okay, I'm okay." Mike replies.
"You okay?" Alex asks again.
"I'm okay Alex, I'm okay. Things are going to be alright."
"Calm now?" Aly asks him.
"Just get me away from Doug, I don't want to see him, I don't want to talk to him."
Then he and Alex talk over each other, before we all walk over and sit in the chairs. Aly takes Mike's hand, lacing their fingers together. She rests her other hand on his forearm and rubs it soothingly.
"Are you feeling better now?" She asks quietly.
"Yeah, I'm fine now." He mutters quietly back.
"Good."
Everyone starts talking over each other again.
"Nobody beats the Miz, nobody rattles the Miz."
"Exactly, you got it right. Look at you...you know things, you know what's going on."
"When that red light comes on I want you to smile and be nice. You ready?"
"I'm always smiling, I'm always nice."
"Alright welcome back to Chronicle Live. Greg Papa joined by Paul Gutierrez, WWE aficionado...yes he his...Alex Riley is here and we have the Champ in studio the Miz! Bringing the belt."
"Of course the title. We like to call it a title because you can buy a belt at Target."
Aly and I both look amused.
"Haha, you can."
"There you go, but you can't buy this at Target. You have to earn this, you have to earn the right to wear it and to have your name displayed on it so...and I have earned the right to do that."
"You certainly have. For the first time ever, the WWE pay per view event is coming to Oracle Arena. The folks of the Bay area have not seen this before up close..."
"It's the Elimination Chamber pay per view, and pay per views are always spectacular...they're amazing. The Elimination Chamber is basically this huge, 16 foot, 10 tons of steel uh...chamber that 6 superstars are locked in and they have to fight until someone wins. Now here's the thing though, I'm not in the Elimination Chamber match. I am in the WWE Championship match against Jerry 'The King' Lawler. Whoever wins that match, goes onto Wrestlemania 27 as the WWE Champion. Now the Raw Elimination Chamber contestants or opponents are fighting for the number one contendership. So they can go to Wrestlemania 27 to hopefully to go against the WWE Champion...and I'm the WWE Champion."
"He'll be staying Champion too." Aly says to me quietly.
"There's no way Jerry is beating him."
"Jerry 'The King' Lawler?"
"Yes, I am talking about the hall of famer, the legend Jerry 'The King' Lawler finally is getting his opportunity to become somebody."
"20 years outside his prime by the way. 20 years outside his prime being a commentator for the last 20 years. That's like you getting into the ring with the Miz. You think you'd have a shot in the ring with the Miz? Absolutely not." Alex comments.
Then everyone starts talking over one another.
"...superstars in the WWE, whether in their prime..their present, past, future...whatever. How many of them really have a chance at going against me? I am the WWE superstar...I am the best I've ever been, nobody can take me."
"You're the Rock."
"I am the Ro...how dare you? I am the Rock..." Mike jokes.
Then Mike and Alex talk over one another again.
"What is wrong with you? Are you kidding me? The tooth fairy...the tooth fairy? You're telling me that the tooth fairy's better than me?"
"The Rock is a tremendous actor."
"Oh he's a great actor, that's why he's getting an Oscar isn't he?"
Everyone starts talking over each other yet again.
"Would Dwayne Johnson last on the Real World?"
"Would he...no...nobody can last on the Real World, that's why everyone leaves. That's why everyone's gone."
"Road Rules?"
"Road Rules uh...I don't even know if that show's still going. But the Real World/Road Rules Challenge show, that's still going...that's doing very well. I always had a great time on the Real World/Road Rules challenges as well as the Real World. Um...it kind of gave me my start, gave me my freedom to do what I wanted and I wanted to be a WWE superstar and WWE champion and uh...here I am today after all. By the way after long, hard work...trust me it was a long hard battle. It's been 10 years since I did the Real World. And a lot of training, a lot of dedication and uh finally uh, I'm here on top and I hope...I plan to stay on top."
"You know Greg a few years back I worked for Sports Illustrated and I was actually working on a story on Ken Shamrock...Madison Square Garden. And got to sit backstage and saw the guys going through their paces and everything and then they put me up in the seats. And at Madison Square Garden there's the tunnel that comes out midcourt. They'd go out and come back in, and everytime they went back in I noticed that they managed to look up and pay their respects to a woman sitting next to me. And about two, three years later..figured out who that was it was Linda McMahon. She hadn't really blown up yet and really become a character in the scene so...is there still that level of respect that you have to pay you know..."
"Everyone. Uh...especially with the McMahon family I mean they basically made uh...sports entertainment what it is today. I mean it's huge, a global phenomenon. I went to China to perform in China. I mean I never thought in my wildest dreams I would ever go there, but we're worldwide and uh...yeah every WWE superstar pays their respects to the McMahon family for what they have done to this industry. They have flown it worldwide...global."
"Vince McMahon, the guy that gave us the XFL."
"I mean some things are successful, other things ehhh not so much."
"Can I ask Alex a question or is that allowed Miz?"
"Uh, I'll allow it go ahead."
"How did you guys hook up?"
"I was on a show call uh, WWE NXT season 2 which was a reality based show, that was based around wrestling or sports entertainment. That WWE put on the Syfy network, which I was a rookie at the time. I had just broken into the business and the story of the show is there's 8 rookies and 8 pros. Miz being one of the pros, who had been around in the business for a while. They teamed us up together, uh he helped me out a lot on the show. He gave me a lot of advice. I actually came in on the show 3rd place but still did very well."
"It was the fans' vote. Let's put it this way. The fans got to vote, let's face it the fans don't like me because I'm the champion and I brag about it." Mike interjects.
"Well that's because you are."
"And...exactly."
"I don't need the fans either. I'm good enough without the fans so...so..." Alex continues.
"Exactly, so what do you think they're gonna do? They're like 'Oh I'm going to go for the person that's cheesy'."
"Boring guys more like it." I say to Aly softly.
"Alex so out schooled those two."
Aly nods in agreement.
"You've always had women next to you, why do you want a guy here?"
"Well 'cause you know, you got to have a person to do your laundry. You got to have a person to cook, clean, do your laundry...and like doing it. And women don't like doing laundry, they don't like cooking, he enjoys it."
Aly and I laugh.
"The Grand Mizard Of Lust."
"That's what I am. Soldier of Seduction, Demon of Desire, Emperor of Excellence, Personification of Perfection, shall I go on?"
Aly looks at him, waiting to see if he says the 'Chick Magnet'.
"Jerry 'The King' Lawler? Jerry 'The King' Lawler, how old is he now?"
"62. He's up there. He's up there and he's challenging me for my WWE Championship. Don't you want...but here the thing. He's 62, he's never had an opportunit in the WWE quite like this...ever. I mean if you think about it, all his stuff has been done that...in companies that weren't in the WWE. This is the first time that he could ever do something and get that opportunity to go onto...he's never been to Wrestlemania. He can go onto Wrestlemania to be the WWE Champion if he defeats me. This is something that's a passion, it's one of those stories you look at and you might go 'This guy might have a fighting spirit'. You never know what's going to happen when uh...when he comes out there Sunday."
Aly rolls her eyes a little at the mention of Jerry.
"I know I'm preparing for the worst. But uh...hey look at you you're going back in the day huh?"
And then they talk over each other...again.
"Uh you guys have played other sports, we are going to go down to the NBA Allstar game coming up a little bit. You played college football at Boston College, actually even played in the Diamond Walnut Bowl." Greg says to Alex.
"They love to talk over each other don't they?" Aly says to me quietly.
"I guess so." I laugh.
"The Diamond Walnut Bowl yes."
"Sounds like a terrific bowl." Mike states, jokingly.
"You know what we won though, we won though."
"Is that even televised?"
"We were...I was 5 and 0 in college at ball games, thank you very much. And what were you?" Alex asks Mike.
"I was the person out there going 'Yeah go!'"
We both laugh.
"I was doing reality tv. I was being a star before you..."
"You played basketball in high school..."
"I did play Basketball. I played Basketball, Baseball, Football, Cross Country. I was captain of two sporting teams, senior editor of the yearbook, I was president of student government. I was Normandy High School and uh..."
"The most likely to get the title."
"Most likely...best dressed..um I mean I was just, I was great at everything."
"And now he's the great...the Grand Mizard of Lust."
"Who is married." Aly mumbles.
"Yes, you love that. Look at you."
"I would love to be dubbed that once in my life."
"I don't know if you can."
"We'll see."
"I don't know, that's my name. Get your own names, get your own names come on."
"Now we're going to go watch you Sunday, Sunday's a huge sports day. NBA Allstar game, Daytona 500, but make your plans for 4:45 to see the Miz take apart the old timer...the formerly the king, who we'll try to get. You're not going to get inside the uh..."
"I'm not getting in the Elimination Chamber, they have to fight to get to me."
"."
A few more words and then the interview was over, we thanked them for having us and we got up and headed out, getting back into the car.
"What next?" Aly looks at Mike.
"I think we're done for the day..."
"Good."
"We can have the rest of the day to ourselves."
"Sounds good to me.
"Give you the time to rest that knee."
She nods.
We start heading back to the hotel, and it was a long ride back. I try to stiffle a yawn but fail.
"Looks like somebody needs some sleep." Alex comments.
"Well we did get up real early this morning." I add.
As Mike is switching radio stations, we hear Party In The USA playing on one, so Mike immediately changes the station and lands on a Metallica song playing.
"Hey, put the other station back." Alex comments.
"Uh no."
"Miley Cyrus over Metallica are you crazy?"
"I think he is." Aly agrees, smacking Alex's hand when he reaches for the radio buttons.
"Aww come on."
"No."
"Miley!"
"Metallica!"
"Miley!"
"Metallica!"
"Both of you be quiet!" Aly laughs, hitting the button and changing the station to something completely different.
"Awww you changed Metallica...not cool." Mike pouts.
"I'm not listening to you two argue over Miley and Metallica so its my choice now."
"You can listen to Miley on my ipod later..." I say quietly to Alex, giggling and he grins.
"You're lucky we like the same music."
"I know." Alex agrees, kissing my cheek.
I managed to not fall asleep on the ride back to the hotel. Once we got there, we did the usual and went up to our rooms and walked in. When Alex and I walked in, I went right over to the bed and fell backwards on it.
"You might want to change into something more comfortable." Alex says, leaning over me.
"Give me a minute..."
"Alright." He chuckles.
"I'm going to get changed first then."
"You do that."
He goes and changes into some more comfortable clothing.
"Alright, get up now." He says, after changing.
I whine but he pulls me up.
"I was fully capable of getting up myself..."
"But you were being lazy. The quicker you get changed, the quicker we can rest."
"I know, but I have to take these off first..." I say, sitting back down and unbuckling the straps on the shoes before taking them off.
He laughs a little and then I get up, grabbing some clothes and going to change in the bathroom. After changing, I come back out and see him laying there on the bed. So after putting my clothes back into my bag, I go and basically just jump and land on him. But enough not to hurt him.
"Oof. Hi to you too."
"That was fun."
He chuckles and wraps his arms around me.
"We got up way too early today..."
"I know but now we're done and we can relax."
I just nod, stiffling another yawn and fail...again. Alex smiles and rubs my back gently.
"You don't have to do that you know...I was going to fall asleep anyway..."
"I know."
"Then why are you doing it silly?"
"I wanted to."
"Oh." I say and then snuggle into him, dozing off.
Then in the meantime, Aly's gone into the bathroom to change into more comfortable clothes herself. She comes out yawning.
"Somebody's tired."
"We got up too early." She mumbles.
"I know, but all that media stuff is important."
"I know." She sighs, putting her crutches aside and climbing onto the bed.
"But at least we're done now and we can get all the rest we want."
"Mmhmm." She agrees while snuggling into him.
"Did you at least have fun today?"
She nods sleepily.
"Good, now I won't keep you from sleeping because I can see that you are. So sleep." He
says, kissing her forehead.
"...love you..."
"Love you too." He says as she drifts off.
