I wake up in the morning, and remember that it's my birthday. I sit up and stretch, followed by a yawn and look over and I don't see Alex. He did leave a note saying that he went out and he would be back soon. I figured I should at least get dressed for the day, so I get out of bed and grab clothes to wear, heading into the bathroom to change. I change into a pink Spongebob T-shirt and jeans. I put on my jewelry next which was Pink Jade Silver Heart Earrings, my promise and engagement rings, and then a Pink Resin Bangle. I applied my nail polish next which was Bubble Gum. I then applied pink eyeshadow and Sparklicity Lip Gloss. After that, I brushed my hair out and tied it up in a simple ponytail. Finishing the whole outfit off, I sprayed on PINK Shimer and Shine sparkling body mist.
By the time I get out, Alex is back and is sitting on the bed with a smile.
"Happy Birthday love." He says.
"Thank you. So, where'd you go?"
Alex pulls out roses from behind his back. I smile and sit down next to him, taking the roses and kissing him lightly.
"You know you didn't have to get me anything, but thank you."
"You're welcome."
"So, what're we doing today?"
"Well for starter's we are going out to get something to eat." Alex says.
"Alright. You're not going all out for my birthday are you?" I ask and he just chuckles.
"Alex...nothing too big okay?"
"It's not big." He assures me.
"Alright, I'll take your word for it."
"Good. Are you ready?"
"Does it look like I'm ready?" I ask, jokingly.
He laughs and gets up off the bed.
"Let's go then." He offers his arm to me.
I grab my sweatshirt before taking his arm, and we leave the room. After leaving, we walk
out of the hotel and go find a place to eat. Meanwhile Aly's discussing with Mike how they're going to set up my party, which I don't know about.
"We'll have plenty of help, we should probably set up before we go to the show since we'll probably be kind of tired afterwards."
"Yeah, makes sense." Mike nods.
Aly goes through the box of decorations to make sure everything is in there.
"Got everything?"
"Yeah."
"Alright then, let's go." He says, getting up.
She takes the box and follows him. They walk out and get into the elevator and head downstairs to the room they both rented out for the party. When they start walking towards the doors they notice , Melina, Natalya, Jeff, Matt and Shannon standing there waiting.
"Hey everybody."
"Hey." They all say, and they all walk into the room.
"Okay, just grab and start decorating." She says, setting down the box.
They all grab random decorations and find places to put everything up. It doesn't take long for them to get it done and they step back to look around.
"Looks good."
"Now you guys can either just hang around or come back later...your choice."
They all decide to just relax in the room, chatting. Alex and I have finished breakfast and are now walking around the town.
"I'm so glad winter is over...I can get away with wearing this..." I say, referring to my hoodie.
"I know, I'm glad that it's getting warmer."
"And it's getting closer to June, 3 months."
"3 months and then you'll be Mrs. Kiley or as it'll be onscreen, Mrs. Riley." Alex grins.
"And that'll take some time to get used to."
"Of course, but it sounds good."
"Yes it does." I nod.
Alex pulls me close and kisses my forehead.
"I can't wait."
"That makes two of us." I smile and he smiles too.
"So anything else you have planned for my birthday today?"
"We'll see." He says mysteriously.
"Is there something you're not telling me?" I ask and he just grins.
"I find that grin highly suspicious."
"I know you do."
"Uh-huh..."
"You'll see."
"If you say so..."
"I do."
"Hah, you'll be saying those two words in three months."
"So will you." Alex laughs.
"Yes, indeed I will."
We continue walking around, but staying relatively close to the hotel so that when Alex got the word from Aly that everything was all set, he could bring me back. After a while Alex finally gets a text from her. He reads it and then puts his phone away.
"Alright, let's head back. I suggest you change into something semi-dressy too."
"Like a dress?"
"Yeah, a dress."
"...okay."
So we head back and up to the room, and I dig through my bag for a dress and whatnot, heading into the bathroom and changing. I got dressed in a one shoudler, floral border, pink/magenta dress with black heels. For jewelry I wore pink/magenta bangles, ruby and diamond earrings, magenta silk flower necklace and of course my engagement and promise rings. For makeup I wore black eyeshadow and pineapple lip gloss. My nails were also painted black and I did my hair. Last thing I did was spray on PINK Shimmer and Shine Sparkling Body Mist. Alex grins when I come out.
"Beautiful."
I smile and thank him as I always do.
"So how has the day been so far?"
"It's been great, I'm enjoying it."
"Good, good."
"So why did I have to dress up a bit?"
"You'll see." He chuckles.
"Okay...well I'm ready. Let's go, wherever we're going."
"Alright."
"Just one thing first." He says, taking out his phone and texts Aly to tell her that we're on our way down.
He sends it and then we head down to the room. Meanwhile Aly gets his text and gets everyone in place. As we reach the doors, I'm confused as to where we're going and why.
"Close your eyes." Alex says.
"Okay..." I say, reluctantly doing so and he leads me into the room.
"Open your eyes on 3. One...two...three!"
I open them and see everyone as they yell surprise. I jump and they laugh.
"Okay, whose idea was this?" I laugh.
"Guilty." Aly giggles as she and Mike walking up.
"You two would..."
"Of course. Happy birthday." Mike says.
"Thank you." I say hugging him.
"Hey, birthday girl. I think Zack here owes you a hug...woo woo woo, you know it." We hear Zack's voice as he walks over next.
"Hi Zack, thank you." I giggle, accepting the hug.
"Haven't seen you in forever, where've you been?"
"Here and there, just chillin'." He says.
"Chillin' with the girlfriend?" I laugh.
"Yeah." He grins.
"Next time you go back home, tell her I said hi."
"I'll do that."
"You're gonna love the gift I got you..."
"I know what you're gonna say next...woo woo woo, you know it." I smile.
"Aww you stole it."
"I only said it, because I knew that was what you were gonna say. You're very predictable." I laugh.
He shrugs grinning.
"You go enjoy the party...that's what you're here for."
"Alright later!"
"Shortbus being shortbus."
"Of course."
Then we hear two squeals and I'm bombarded with hugs from both Melina and Natalya.
"Happy birthday!"
"Thanks...but a girl's...got to breath."
"Sorry." They giggles, letting go.
"That's okay. So I'm sure you two are getting excited for June?"
"Of course."
"What about you?" Melina asks.
"Definitely." I smile.
"What about you?" She asks Aly and she nods, giggling.
"It's coming up fast."
"Yeah, time is flying."
"Flying too fast. But hey we're gonna go enjoy your party, you enjoy it too." Natalya says to me.
"I will, thanks."
Then they walk away to enjoy the party with everyone else.
"Happy birthday!" I hear three familiar voices say from behind me.
I turn around to see Matt, Jeff, and Shannon standing there.
"Thank you. I didn't know you guys were here!" I smile widely, hugging them.
"She had us hide completely and come out when you least expected it." Jeff says, pointing at Aly.
"Alyyyy."
"Surprise." She giggles.
"So how've you been? Causing trouble on TNA you two?" I ask Matt and Jeff, laughing.
"...maaaaybe." They grin.
"Haha, either way it's nice to see you two wrestling together again."
"Thanks, its been nice to have each other around again."
"I wish we could visit TNA, but you guys tape that when we have Raw. Not to mention the city differences."
"Yeah. Well maybe one day you'll have time off and you guys can come see us."
"So how did you guys get here?"
"Flew."
"You dropped everything and flew out here..."
"Hey it was nothing, we don't get to see you guys that often and we're happy to be here."
"Well I'm happy that you are here."
"You enjoy your party, we'll have time to catch up later." Matt says and they all hug you.
"Alright, have fun."
"We will."
Then they walk off as well.
"Any other surprises that I should know about?" I ask Aly.
"No, not that I can think of." She laughs.
"Alright, just checking." I say and she grins.
Once the next song plays, Mike starts pulling on Aly's arm.
"Come onnnn..." He whines.
"Alright, alright." She laughs, letting him pull her to the dance floor.
Alex and I watch, and he starts doing his dorky dance moves.
"Oh god..." I snicker, covering my face with one hand and shaking my head amusedly.
Alex is just laughing, Aly's laughing as well.
"Come on, let's go dance." I laugh.
Alex agrees and we go out onto the floor. He too starts doing dorky dance moves himself, which causes me to crack up even more than before. Aly and I look at each other, busting up laughing.
"Okay okay, enough dorky dancing." I laugh.
"You love it." Alex grins.
"But I think you love it a little too much yourself."
He sticks his tongue out and dances normally. Mike hasn't stopped his dorky dancing, so
Aly had to hold him by the shoulders to stop him.
"That's enough." She laughs.
"Awww come on. I was just getting into the groove."
"That's enough." She repeats, slowing to a giggle.
"You threw off my groove."
"I'm sorry but it's time to dance normal."
"Well aren't you the fun sucker."
She raises and eyebrow.
"That's right, fun sucker...I went there." He chuckles.
"Guess I'll be taking off my lip gloss myself tonight..." She trails off.
"What? Nooooo." He whines.
"Gonna behave?"
"I have no choice do I?"
She giggles.
"Fine...I'll behave..." He sighs.
"Thank you." She kisses his cheek.
"Anything for you."
"I love you." She smiles.
"I love you too." He says, kissing her forehead.
"So...good day?" Alex asks me.
"Not good...great."
"I'm glad." He smiles.
"You sure you didn't plan all of this yourself?"
"No. Windy and Mike planned most of it."
"Your job was just to keep me out of the hotel for a few hours or so..."
"Right." He chuckles.
"But you know I do have a gift for you...up to you if you want it now or if you want to wait until you open the gifts." He adds.
"Now."
"You didn't even have to think about that...you positive you want it now?"
"Yes."
"Alright." He says reaching into his pocket and taking out a box, handing it to me.
I open it and find a beautiful heart necklace with an A sitting inside the heart.
"Oh Alex..." I gasp a little.
"You always get me the nicest things. I absolutely love it." I say, hugging him.
"You're welcome." He chuckles, hugging me tightly and kissing my cheek.
"And you always deserve the nicest things...always." He adds.
"Awww, thank you."
"Anything for you." He smiles.
I smile and kiss him. I don't linger for too long so that my lip gloss isn't completely off. But he did manage to get a small taste of it, after I pulled back.
"Pineapple?' He asks, blinking.
"Good guess." I giggle.
"Interesting..."
"It's something different than the strawberries, the cherries, and etc."
"Yeah."
"That's all you get to taste...for now."
"Alright." He sighs.
"It's torture, isn't it?"
"Yes."
"I'm doing my job then..."
"Of course." He gives a wry grin.
"It's fun to mess with you like that."
"I'm sure it is."
"Just like it's fun for you when you mess with me."
"Right."
"Which you tend to do a lot." I comment and he grins.
After spending some time dancing, Aly comes over to me.
"Alright, what do you want to do first? Gifts or cake?"
"Hm...cake."
Aly nods.
"Alright everyone...cake time!" She yells for everyone to hear.
We do the birthday song and cut the cake. Everyone chills, eating and talking. Once that's over, I start to open the gifts. After opening each gift, I thank each person and put each gift back onto the table behind me.
"Oh I did forget one other surprise." Aly says to me, laughing a little.
"You're joking. What now?"
"Close your eyes."
I roll my eyes but do as she says. Then she motions for BSB to come forward. They stand in front of me and grin.
"Open your eyes."
"Surprise! Happy birthday!" They shout.
"Thanks guys, how long did she keep you hiding for?" I laugh.
"Not too long. We had some media things to do and then we came after we got done." Brian
says.
"Ah well, thanks for coming." I smile.
"No problem. It's definately a party now that we're here." Nick adds.
"Of course Nick." I laugh.
I finish opening the rest of my gifts and then everyone goes back to dancing and everything.
"This day has been just...awesome."
"Of course it has." Mike grins.
"No pun intended of course."
Mike laughs.
"But you are awesome for putting this together for me."
"Yes, yes I am." He proudly states.
"It wasn't all you." Aly smacks his arm.
"You're BOTH awesome for putting this together for me." I laugh.
"You're welcome." She smiles.
"Ooooh, I so have to show you what Alex got me." I say to her.
"Ooh that's pretty!" She says when I pull it out.
"You did good DC, you did good."
"Thanks Windy."
Then she hears a song playing.
"Ooooh, come on." She says, tugging on Mike.
He chuckles and goes out there with her.
"Come on, let's go too." Alex says to me.
"Okay, but no dorky dance moves haha."
"Aww. Alright." He chuckles.
We walk out to the floor and join everybody else, and start to dance along to the song.
~Raw House Show~
We're all standing by the curtain, and wait for the tech guy to play Mike's music. When he does, we all walk out and get into the ring.
"I wonder what we're doing out here. Mike already had a match tonight." I say to Aly, curiously.
"I'm not sure."
We wait a while after the music fades and then Punk's music plays and he walks out. We both start getting more confused.
"Okay now I'm really confused."
After Punk gets into the ring, we all wait around and then he goes over to Justin and says into the mic 'hit the music'. We hear the typical music play as if there was a dance off happening. Alex and Punk just walk around the ring, Alex standing in the middle of the ring.
"Oh god no..."
"Uh-oh not this."
We watch as Alex puts one arm out, then puts both of his hand behind his head and starts moving his hips around.
"Oh my god." I say, facepalming myself.
Aly just cracks up laughing.
"Oh my god!"
Mike and Punk cheer him on, with Punk clapping his hands in the air to the beat of the song. Then Alex changes to doing 'The Worm', before getting back up and shimmying around like he did at the dance off in Whichita. He goes over to Punk and shimmys before Punk joins in, walking into the center of the ring almost. Aly and I are just laughing really hard. Then Alex does a robot dance while Punk takes off his shirt and starts swaying around. Alex comes back and jumps a little before landing on his knees, putting his arms out and yelling. Punk does the same thing, but does the wave first and going down to his knees as well. Alex grabs Punk's wrist and raises it in the air and he stands up, while Mike comes over and drops to his knees and raises Alex's other hand up, while the two of them are both on their knees.
"Dorks!" Aly cracks up.
As the music fades, they get back up. Alex shakes Punk's hand and Mike high fives him. We're just basically still laughing from what we just saw.
"You're marrying that." Aly snickers.
"I was not expecting that...especially when he started the dancing."
"That was hilarious."
"Knowing him, that was probably another birthday gift...oh joy." I laugh.
Aly snickers.
"Only him..."
"I could see Mike doing it too you know."
"Oh god...I think I'd die of laughter if I saw that."
"I know right?"
Then Alex walks back over to us, while Mike is talking to a ring attendant.
"Please don't tell me that was another birthday gift." I laugh.
"Did you like it?" He grins.
"Well I was laughing the whole time during it, what does that tell you?"
"Good."
"What was up with all that hip movement DC?" Aly asks, trying not to crack up but still
laughing.
"Shut up Windy."
"What? I'm just asking."
"Hush."
She snickers.
"What's Mike doing?"
"It's a surprise."
Mike signals to Alex, and then he walks and stands behind me and puts his hands over my eyes. That's when Aly sees Mike holding a cake.
"Ohhhhh."
"What is it?" I ask, clearly hearing her.
"I don't think I'm supposed to say."
"No you can't Windy." Alex answers.
"I didn't think so."
"Okay, whatever it is...I wanna see it. There's only so long I can have my eyes covered."
Alex carefully helps me into the ring while Aly gets in herself. Mike motions for her to come over and asks her to hold the mic so he can talk and holds the cake. She nods and does so.
"Can I look yet?"
Alex chuckles and takes his hands from my eyes. I blink my eyes a few times to get my vision back to normal, and that's when I saw the cake.
"You didn't..."
"We did."
"Even though we already had cake at the party before we got here."
"We know."
"Did you know about this?" I ask you.
"Nope."
Then I see that she's holding the mic, while Mike's holding the cake. He grins at me and starts talking to the crowd, explaining the occasion and he gets them to sing happy birthday to me. Of course when I stand there with everyone singing to me, the natural reaction of being embarrassed comes out. When they're all done, they clap and cheer. I step forward and say 'thank you everyone' into the mic. I then get an idea. I reach over to the cake and take some frosting, putting it on Mike's face and trying not to laugh.
"Hey!"
"Oops." I smile.
He shifts the cake and retaliates, getting frosting on me.
"Ohhhh, it's on now."
"Bring it!" He says.
I take my hand and stick it into the cake, grabbing a handful of frosting and cake itself. I lift it up and smile evilly.
"Carly..." He warns.
"Mike..." I mock him.
"Don-" Mike starts to say but I smush the cake all over his face.
Aly covers her mouth with her hand, stiflinf her laughter and I snicker.
"There, I brought it."
Alex is laughing. Mike takes some of the cake and stares me down.
"Ahhh, no!" I exclaim, rushing to hide behind Alex.
Alex moves.
"Oh no, you started it." He says.
"Awww, that's not cool. Mike...don't you dare."
He does it anyway.
"Haha, who's laughing now?" He chuckles.
I grab another handful of cake and so does he. Then it turns into a cake fight, with us
running around the ring and throwing the cake at each other.
"Oh jeez." Aly laughs.
"Unless we want to get caught in the crossfire, maybe we should get out of the ring." Alex
suggests.
"Yeah...probably a good idea." She agrees.
She and Alex get out of the ring, and watch from the safety of the outside. Mike and I go until all the cake was gone and we were both pretty much covered with it.
"Uh-oh..." She says, seeing Mike eyeing her.
She starts to back up towards the ramp.
"Noo..." She warns him.
"Oh yeah." He smirks.
"No."
"Yes, come here." He says, walking closer.
"No!" She bolts up the ramp.
He bolts up the ramp after her, and Alex and I watch in amusement. While Alex is distracted, I sneak over and hug him which gets cake all over him.
"Aha! I got you!"
"Carlyyyyy." He laughs.
"I love you too." I smile.
The crowd cheers as Alex and I head backstage to clean up. Once we were cleaned up, we met Aly and Mike back in the room so we could grab our things and leave.
"Well that was...fun." Aly says as we head out to the car.
"It was...very interesting in the beginning, but fun."
We all agree. Then we head back to the hotel, and once we get there we go up to our floor
and to our rooms. Alex and I walk into ours.
"So, how was your birthday?" Alex asks after taking our jackets off, then wrapping his arms around me from behind and putting his head on my shoulder.
"It was amazing, thank you." I smile and kiss his cheek.
"You're welcome. It only comes once a year, got to make it fun."
"Right. Aly's is next."
"And then yours." I add.
"Should be fun." Alex grins.
"Yes it should be." I nod and so does he.
"But we should get changed." I add, yawning.
Alex chuckles and lets me go. I grab my pjs and go to change. Alex changes himself and slides into bed to wait for me. I come out, stretching and yawning again, putting my clothes back into my bag. I climb into bed and snuggle up to Alex.
"Night love." He says, giving me a kiss on the forehead.
"Night." I say, closing my eyes and falling asleep.
Meanwhile, Aly stretches and ywans some more, before heading over to her bag to grab pjs to change into. She picks up her pjs and goes over to the bathroom. After changing and walking out of the bathroom, putting her clothes into her bag, she too climbs into bed and snuggles up to Mike. She draps one arm over him and lays her head on his chest.
"Tired?" He asks.
"Mmhmm..." She mumbles.
"You tired yourself out with all that dancing today haha."
She laughs faintly.
"Since you had fun for Carly's birthday, I can't wait until it's yours."
"That'll be a crazy night I bet."
"Probably, who knows."
"Got to get through Wrestlemania first."
"Right." He nods.
"Night, love you." She mumbles after yawning again.
"Love you too." He says kissing her forehead.
