It's well into the morning, and I got all the sleep I could get so I walk out of the bathroom after changing and whatnot. But when I walk out of the bathroom, I look over and notice Alex is still sleeping...or so it seems. I decide to let him sleep a little bit longer so I grab my computer and sit at the table with it. I do things online for a while until I feel arms slide around my shoulders and a kiss on my forehead.
"Morning." Alex mumbles.
"Morning." I say back, smiling.
"Whatcha' doin'?"
"Oh just the normal online stuff I do everyday."
"Ah." He says, nuzzling his face in my neck.
"Being affectionate this morning huh?" I giggle.
"Mmhmm."
"Any particular reason why?"
"Nope. Love you."
"And I love you too." I say, closing my computer screen.
Alex pulls me up and out of the chair and into his arms.
"You don't want me sitting down?" I laugh.
"I wanted to hold you, is that okay?"
"Well of course it's okay."
"Good."
"You know, you smell really good." He says, the smell of Silver Rain reaching his nose.
"It's my perfume." I giggle.
"I like it."
"Good to know."
"But that's not all I smell. I also smell something fruity."
"That's my lip gloss."
"I want it."
"Ah, not now."
"Aww..."
"Maybe later."
"Okay."
"In the meantime, I think that you need to get dressed." I say poking him.
"You sure?" Alex teases.
"Hmmm, I don't know...considering the fact that you are very distracting right now."
Alex chuckles.
"True." He laughs.
He pulls away from me to get dressed. In the meantime Aly and Mike are already up, and the shower is running because he's in there. She's sprawled across the bed on her stomach with her eyes closed, just laying there. After a while Mike comes out of the bathroom, all changed and everything. He notices her laying on the bed on her stomach with her eyes closed.
"Tired?"
"Kinda."
"You can go back to sleep if you want, it's okay."
"Not sure if I want to or not." Aly shrugs.
"That's alright, take your time choosing."
"Okay." She laughs a little.
He decides to come around and lay down on his stomach as well, next to her. She slides over and snuggles up to him.
"There's nothing planned for today is there?" She asks.
"Nope."
"Yay."
"The day to ourselves."
"I love these days."
"I couldn't agree more."
Mike rolls over onto his back and she grins a little, sliding over to lay on top of him.
"Whenever you feel like getting up...how about breakfast. Or if it's too late for breakfast, then lunch?" Mike asks.
"Sure." She agrees.
"Alright, just let me know when you wanna go."
"Give me about 10 minutes. I'm comfy."
"I figured as much." He chuckles.
"What can I say, you make a good pillow/teddy bear."
"I know. You tell me all the time."
"Well it's true." She giggles.
"I'll always be that good pillow/teddy bear too."
"Yes you will." She nuzzles his cheek and then kisses it.
Then she lays her head back down, and he starts running his fingers through her hair.
"Mmm...we're never going to get out of the room if you keep doing that."
"I can stop if you want."
"As much as I want to say no, you probably should."
"I know, I was just asking." He says, stopping.
She starts to slide off.
"I'm going to get dressed."
"Alright." He nods.
She goes and gets dressed.
"No pulling my hair tie out." She warns him after she gets done.
"Okay okay, I wont. I'll leave it alone."
"You better."
"You have my word...promise."
"Good." I kiss him quickly.
He grabs his jacket and puts it on, and so does she. Then they both head out to go eat. Meanwhile in my room Alex finished getting dressed and came out.
"Food?" He questions me.
"Sure why not."
We both grab anything we'll need and go out to find food.
"So I'm assuming we have no other plans today. So we get the day to ourselves?"
"Yeah."
"Oh, how I love these days."
"Me too." He agrees.
"It's also when you get to be extra affectionate too." I laugh.
"I know." He grins.
"No being a shark today though."
"Awww."
"Well for now anyway, I'll think about it."
Alex cheers quietly. Then we reach a place to eat, and walk inside. We eat and discuss the places we want to go, deciding to go to the Wax Museum first. Once we get there, we walk inside and start walking around finding the wax figures all around the place.
"Its crazy how real these look." Alex comments.
"I know right?"
"Its almost like you expect them to start moving or something."
"Oh that'd be creepy as hell."
"Yeah."
Then we start getting to the newest addition...Justin Bieber.
"Okay, get me away from that."
Alex chuckles and leads me away.
"He sings like a girl."
"Yeah."
"You know all these wax figures got me thinking...the next one they should make is one of Mike. I mean look what he's done."
"Yeah, he's done a lot."
"Maybe sometime in the future it'll happen."
"Maybe. That'd be cool."
"Something to mention to him later, to think about at least."
"Yeah." He chuckles.
"But, since we've seen everything in here, how about we move onto the next thing?"
"Sounds good." Alex agrees.
So we leave the museum, and head to the Empire State Building next. Meanwhile Mike and Aly are at the Staten Island Botanical Gardens, walking around. They go into their Rose garden.
"Roses!" She says happily, moving to smell some of them.
"I just love roses." She adds.
"I know you do." Mike chuckles.
"Ironic since it is my middle name."
"And I like that middle name." He smiles.
"Of course you do."
"Because you're as beautiful as a rose."
She blushes.
"And that's the truth."
She goes even redder.
"And you're cute when you blush."
She walks a little farther, trying to get control of her blushing.
"I know what you're gonna say...to quit it Casanova." He chuckles.
She sticks her tongue out.
"Love you too."
"I do love you even if you like to make me blush." She purses her lips.
"Well like I said you look cute when you do that."
"So you tell me every time you do it." She rolls her eyes a little as they link hands again.
"Because it's true." He smiles.
She just shakes her head in amusement and they start walking down the path again.
"But anyway, it's just so pretty around here." She adds.
"Yeah. This is amazing." He agrees.
"We need to come here a lot more often when we're in town."
He nods and she leans into him as they walk around, admiring the Gardens. After they were done admiring the Gardens, they decided that it was time to leave and head onto the next destination. They get in a cab and its off to the Hall of Science. Meanwhile, Alex and I reach the Empire State Building. We get up to the Observation Deck and look at the view of the entire city.
"Wow." Alex remarks.
"You can see for miles."
"Yeah, no kidding."
"Wonder what the city looks like at this elevation at night."
"We can come back later if you'd like." Alex suggests.
"I think the last place we agreed on going to Top of the Rock, will be a good place to see the
city when it's all lit up. We'll have to see. If it's not good, we can come back here."
"Sounds good." He kisses the top of my head.
"Definitely have to come back again soon though, if we don't already later."
"Yeah, for sure."
Then we walk around to the back of the observatory to see out of the back of the building. I take some pictures and admire the view for a little while, before we decide it's time to head back to the hotel for a bit, at least until it starts to get dark. Then back with Aly and Mike, they've just gotten to the Hall Of Science.
"Oooh..." She trails off, looking around.
"This looks cool." Mike comments, looking around himself.
"This place has the hands on type stuff too. I love that stuff."
"Well let's go try out some of the stuff then."
"Okay." She grins and they go around to do those things while also taking time to look at other things too.
"Today is becoming a very fun day."
"I agree. I wish we could do this more often."
"I know. If only we weren't so busy all the time."
"Yeah..."
"Makes you really enjoy these days off."
"That's true." She nods.
"I know I do." He smiles.
"Me too." She smiles softly and kisses his cheek.
After they finish there, they head outside and get a cab to head back to the hotel to wait a while until going to the Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. We all get back to the hotel about the same time.
"Hey." Mike and Aly greet me and Alex as they walk up.
"Hey." Alex and I greet back.
"Have fun?"
"Oh lots. You?"
"Same."
"We're just waiting for it to get a bit dark so we can go to Top of the Rock to see the city all lit up."
"That'll be cool. We're going to kill some time before going to see Phantom of the Opera on Broadway."
"That sounds like fun."
"Uh-huh, I've always wanted to see it." She comments.
"And now you have the chance to."
"Exactly."
"Be sure to tell me how it was."
"Oh I will. Be sure to take pictures when you go to your thing."
"I definitely will. It'll be too pretty to not take pictures."
"Right."
"But I have to go rest my feet, not a good idea to wear these shoes when we're walking
around all day."
"Nope." She laughs.
"I managed to do it though."
"That you did." Alex laughs.
We get off the elevator at our floor and head down the hall to our rooms. We walk in, and when Alex and I do...I immediately take my shoes off and fall back on the bed.
"Tired?" He chuckles.
"Not me physically, but my feet are."
"I bet."
"When we go back out, I'm putting better shoes on."
"I would hope so." Alex chuckles.
"Not entirely my fault, they went with my outfit."
He looks amused.
"How did I know we'd be walking all over town?"
"True."
"You get over here." I laugh.
"You rang?" He jokes, walking over.
"Haha very funny."
Alex laughs and lays next to me.
"I thought it was."
"Well you are very amusing..." I trail off.
"...sometimes." I add, jokingly.
"Sometimes?"
"Yes...I said sometimes."
"I'm not sure if I should be insulted or not..."
"Oh my gosh, you know I'm kidding right?"
"I know, I'm messing with you."
"I thought you were serious for a second."
"I wasn't." He chuckles.
"Well now I know." I laugh.
"Right."
I lace my fingers with his, then lay my head on his shoulder. He smiles and lays his head against mine.
"Love you babe."
"I love you too."
"Only 3 months left."
"Yep, the months are just flying by right now."
"I know."
"I mean next Saturday is my birthday, this month is almost over."
"Yeah, time has been rushing by."
"It'll be your birthday before we know it too."
"Yeah." He chuckles.
"While we're on the subject, anything planned for my birthday that you know of yet?"
"I'm not saying anything." Alex laughs.
"Not even a little hint?"
"Nope."
"Hmmm, I think I can get a hint out of you."
"Oh really."
"Really."
"You can try but you won't."
"We'll see about that..." I say, letting go of his hand and rolling over so I'm laying ontop of
him.
He looks up at me with a raised eyebrow while putting his hands on my hips. I smile, and
lean down sealing his lips with mine. He returns the kiss, moving his hands up and down my sides. He tries to roll us over, but I don't let him.
"Not this time..." I mumble.
He whines a little.
"Hush." I say against his lips.
I place my hands on the sides of his face, and I start to deepen the kiss. Alex wraps his arms around me and hugs me to him while the kiss goes on. I pull back, before things get too carried away and lean my forehead against his.
"As amazing as that was...still not giving any hints."
"Oh, darn."
Alex chuckles.
"Kind of figured you wouldn't spill any details."
"You know me well."
"I'm gonna be your wife in three months, of course I know you well."
"True."
"I know you just as well as you know me."
"Exactly."
Then I lay my head back down, and tuck it under his chin. Alex chuckles a little and squeezes me gently. Then back in Aly and Mike's room, she walks over to the bed and lays down herself.
"So we got some time to kill before we head out again. What do you wanna do?" Mike asks.
"Cuddle?"
"I can't say no to that." He smiles.
"Of course not." She smiles as he climbs onto the bed.
He then wraps his arms around her, and pulls her closer to him.
"Mine."
"Yes, yours." She laughs a little.
"And you're mine." She adds.
"Right." He nods.
She snuggles into him.
"We definitely need more of these days."
"Yeah."
"No stalker sightings, just us spending time together."
"Which is a nice change for once."
"Mmhmm."
"I love you." He says, kissing the top of your head.
"I love you too." She shifts to kiss his cheek.
"Can't believe the day is almost over."
"I know. Time flies when you're spending it with someone you love."
"And when you're having fun."
"That too."
"But the day isn't over yet."
"Right."
"It's not over, until I say it's over."
"If you say so." She giggles.
"Or well, unless you get tired. Then the day will be over."
She laughs.
"How're you feeling by the way? Tired?"
"I'm okay."
"How about you?" She adds.
"I'm good."
"Good."
He then takes one hand and starts running his fingers through her hair.
"I suppose you can take out the hair tie."
"You sure?"
"Go for it. Its not like its hard to put it back in a ponytail."
"True..." He says, then takes the hair tie out.
"Mmm...feels good." She mumbles as he starts to run his fingers through her hair again.
"I know it puts you to sleep too."
"Uh-huh..."
"Want me to stop?"
"No."
He just nods, and continues to do it. She buries her face in his neck with a content sigh. He smiles, and leans his head against hers, still running his fingers through her hair.
"I could stay like this for a long time and never get sick of it."
"Me too." He agrees.
She smiles and starts to draw little patterns on his chest with her nails.
"You enjoy doing that don't you?"
"Mmhmm."
"You're so lucky I'm not ticklish.."
She laughs.
"Otherwise I think I'd be in trouble."
"Yes you would."
"But I know you're ticklish." He grins.
"Don't even think about it."
"Don't think about what?"
"You better not tickle me."
"And what if I do tickle you hmm?"
"No kisses." She sticks her tongue out.
"Awww."
"So don't tickle me."
"Fine...I won't tickle you."
"Good."
"Which means now, I can kiss you."
"You can." She giggles.
He looks down at her, and she looks up at him. Then they both lean in, and seal their lips together. She slides up to lay on top of him without breaking the kiss. He rests his hand on her sides, before wrapping them around her to pull her closer. She reaches up and cups his face in her hands for a moment before sliding her fingers up into his hair. She then feels him trying to move so that he can roll them both over, so he'd be over her. She shifts so he can't.
"Nope." She mumbles against his lips.
He starts mumbling in protest, into the kiss.
"Shush."
He listens and goes quiet, continuing. After a bit she shifts again, which allows him the
opportunity to roll them over.
"Aha, I win." He mumbles.
"I let you."
"I still win."
"I think I win more." She says, breaking away from his lips.
"You think so huh?"
"Uh-huh."
"And why's that?"
"Because I'm your wife and I can get you to do what I want by threatening to make you sleep on the couch or the floor." She laughs.
"True..."
"See, I win."
"I win sometimes too."
"Sometimes."
"I love you." He says, kissing her once.
"I love you too. So much."
"I know, and you show it everyday." He smiles.
"So do you." She smiles back.
"Well I'm your husband, of course I show it everyday."
"I know." She nuzzles her nose against his.
Then he rolls back over to his spot, and wraps his arms around her, pulling her close. She snuggles into him.
"You know I'm surprised that the media hasn't been asking us questions about us being
married and about kids."
"I know, but it's still a matter of time until they do start asking those questions. You'll be surprised."
"Too true. So what do we want to say when it comes to kids?"
"Well, we could say that it's something that'll happen...but not right now."
"Works for me."
"I mean I'm sure that subject is on both of our minds right?"
"Uh-huh."
"It'll happen when it happens."
"Right. Just out of curiosity...how many do you want?"
"Oh...uhhh..." He trails off.
"Haven't thought that far?" She laughs.
"Not really."
"Got stuck on the process didn't you."
He turns red and she laughs again.
"I thought so. I was thinking 2 to 4."
"2 to 4 huh? You'd be able to handle that?"
"We'll see how it goes but I think I'd be able to. At least 2 for sure, I know my sister and I fought all the time when we were young but I was always thankful to have a sibling."
"Right."
"You okay with that?"
"Of course I'm okay with that."
"Good."
"I can't say no to those numbers, I know we'll have good looking kids." Mike says.
"Good looking kids huh?" Aly laughs.
"Uh-huh." He smiles.
"You are such a dork."
"Your dork."
"Yes, yes I know."
The time passes by fairly quickly, and it was just about time for them to leave to go to the show. She untangles herself from him and goes to fix her hair and everything. He too fixes his hair a bit and whatnot, then waits for her to finish. She comes out.
"Oooh I'm so excited. I've always wanted to see something on Broadway."
"It sounds interesting."
"It is." She assures him.
"I've loved everything I've seen back home. I can only imagine how much better this is going to be since its the big time Broadway."
"Well, you'll find out won't you?"
"Yup." She smiles brightly and kisses his cheek as they gather what they need before heading out.
In the meantime, I look out the window and see that the sun us starting to go down.
"I think it's dark enough to go now."
"Alright." Alex says, letting me go.
"Don't forget about the comfortable shoes this time." He adds, getting up.
"Oh yeah. Thank you for reminding me."
I go over to my things and pick out more comfortable shoes to wear, and put them on.
"Alright, all set."
"I'm set." Alex replies as he stands by the door.
I make sure I have everything, before walking to the door and we leave heading to Top of the Rock. We get there and make our way up to the top. By the time we got to the top, the city was all lit up and the sun was almost all the way down, with the orange glow in the sky.
"Wow. Now THAT is cool." Alex remarks.
"Got to take a picture of this." I say, taking my camera out.
"For sure." He agrees.
"Definitely have to come back here next time were in New York."
"Yeah."
"But there's something better than the view of the city with the sunset." He adds.
"Huh?" I look puzzled until I realize he's looking at me and I blush.
"That's right, you. And like I always say, you're cute when you blush."
"Stop it." I swat at him.
"Heyy, I'm just stating facts."
"Yeah yeah yeah."
"Love you." He says, wrapping his arms around me and kissing my cheek.
"Love you too." I smile.
We stick around until the sun has set completely, before leaving and heading back to the hotel for the night. Mike and Aly eventually get out of the show and go back to the hotel themselves.
"Now that show was amazing."
"I know! I loved it."
"Definitely something to go see again sometime."
"For sure." She agrees.
"I don't know about you, but I'm pretty tired now."
"Mmhmm." She nods, yawning.
Once back at the hotel, they go up to our floor and into their room, then from there they get
changed to go to sleep.
