Mike and Aly are now at his condo in LA, been there since Tuesday while Alex and I are at my place in Florida. She's gotten up before Mike and put on a swimsuit before going out to lay by the pool. After a while, she doesn't hear the door slide open and closed. But with her eyes closed she can tell that the sun was getting blocked from above her.
"Morning." She says without opening her eyes.
"Morning. How'd you sleep last night?"
"Better. Still not nightmare free but..." She trails off and shrugs.
"I wish I could stop those..." He sighs.
"I know but just having you with me and not being around...him...is helping." She replies after rolling onto her back and opening her eyes to look up at him.
"I knew it would." He smiles.
"Smarty." She giggles.
"Yes, yes I am."
She swings her legs off the chair and sits up.
"And how are you feeling?"
"Better, a lot better actually."
"That's really good to hear." She smiles and gets up.
"But it's still Wednesday, so I still got to take it easy."
"Right and I'll be here making sure you do."
"Of course, I don't know what I'd do without you."
"Go crazy." She teases.
"Maybe." He chuckles.
She giggles and taps his nose before walking over to the pool steps and wading in.
"Are you gonna stand there or come in with me?"
"It's getting lonely in here..." She says in a sing-song tone.
"Oh, we can't have that." He adds.
"Well are you going to do something about it?" She teases.
"Maybe while I'm at it, I should go find someone to fix the lack of kisses lately."
"You wouldn't dare..."
She pretends to think about it.
"Give me a minute...I need to change." He says, rushing to the sliding door and opening it,
heading inside.
She laughs and swims around. After a few minutes, he comes back out and doesn't
hesitate getting into the water. She squeals a little and turns her head as she gets
splashed from him jumping in.
"Aha, got you." He laughs, after surfacing.
"Yes you did." She says dryly.
"Awww, did you not want to get splashed?"
"I'll live."
"That's right, you will. It's only water."
"With chlorine, but whatever." She laughs.
"Yeah well water's water."
"Sure." She swims around lazily.
"How do you feel about dinner tonight?" He asks, while they both swim around.
"Sure, sound good."
"Jericho is gonna be joining us. He actually called me last night and asked if it was alright if
you, me, him and the american idol contestant James could go to dinner together tonight
after Idol was over."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah, apparently James is a major fan of mine and Jericho's."
"Nice. So dinner with Jericho and James...interesting. I never really got to meet Jericho
before he 'left' you know."
"Well now you'll get to meet him." He smiles.
"Right." She nods, swimming over to a corner and resting there while still moving her legs a
little.
He then slowly starts to make his way over to her, stopping when he's in front of her.
"...hi?"
"About earlier...lack of kisses huh?" He smirks.
"Mmhmm.."
"I can fix that you know."
"Sure about that?"
"Oh I know I can." He smirks, getting closer and leaning his forehead against hers, his lips
inches from hers.
"I guess you'll have to prove it."
He smiles, before sealing his lips with hers and placing both hands on either side of her so
she's trapped. She giggles a little and slides her arms over his shoulders. He then decides
to move his arms so that they wrap around her, then he pulls her closer deepening the kiss.
She shifts up, wrapping her legs around his waist as her hands drag across the back of his
shoulders. From there, he slowly starts to trail his lips down to her neck. She lets out a sigh,
her head dropping to the side slightly as it falls against his shoulder. He smiles, working
his way to the certain spot. But when it seems he's gonng go there, he moves away from
it...clearly torturing her. She gives a quiet grumbling sigh. When she leasts expects it, he
went back and got the spot, and a faint moan escapes her as her fingers dig into his
shoulders. He smirks, and continues for a bit before trailing his lips back up. She moves
her head, so that he could seal his lips back to hers. The kiss goes on until he breaks it
briefly, choosing to give short repeated kisses until she reaches up and holds the back of
his head to keep their lips attached. He smiles and moves one hand up to her hair to run
his fingers through it. She sighs into the kiss as his fingers go through her ponytail, tugging
on it gently. Then he settles his hand on her arm, occasionally moving it up and down. She
lets go of his head and drags her hands down his neck to rest them on his chest. She does
let him pull away eventually, but keeps her forehead against his. She still has her eyes
closed, resting against him silently.
"I love you, so much." He says.
"I love you too, more than you know." She opens her eyes and rubs her nose against his.
"I'll never know how much more that is will I?" He chuckles.
"Maybe." She giggles.
"But right now we have some swimming to get back to.." She adds, poking him.
"Right." Mike laughs, swimming backwards while still holding her since her legs are still
wrapped around his waist.
"This week so far has been great." He comments.
"Mmhmm. No interruptions...no stalkers...just you and me..."
"If only it could be like this all the time right?"
"I know." She sighs.
"This is why I like coming back here when we can."
"Yeah. Recharge the batteries that get run down with all the drama on the road."
"Exactly." He nods.
"And take the time to enjoy being married." She adds.
"That too." He smiles.
"Which I know you enjoy."
"Yes I do, and you enjoy it too."
"Of course." She smiles.
"I can't wait till July."
"I know, me too. Are you still determined to keep the honeymoon location a secret?"
"Yes, that will stay a secret."
"Aww.."
"You'll like it, trust me."
"I'm assuming that means there's a beach involved..."
"You'll see..."
"Darn." She pouts.
"You should know, I don't crack and tell secrets that easily."
"I know you don't and that's why I'm pouting because I wanna know."
"Pouting isn't going to make me tell you...you'll have to wait and see."
"3 months..."
"You'll live."
"I know."
"3 months will fly on by though..."
"Yeah, you're right."
"Then we'll be married again." He smiles.
"Uh-huh." She giggles.
"And I'll be Alyssa Mizanin...again."
"Yep, I just love the sound of that too."
"Me too." She kisses him gently.
After she pulls away, they both continue to move around the pool enjoying the time alone. In
the meantime down in Florida with Alex and myself, I've been up before Alex for quite some
time now, and I'm out in the backyard standing on the deck listening to the sound of the
ocean which was not that far away from the house. I'm spaced out and don't hear the door slide open and closed. Arms snake around me and a kiss is placed on my neck.
"Morning." I say, snapping out of being spaced out.
"Morning." Alex replies, resting his head on my shoulder.
"It's great that we're taking the week off. I miss coming here."
"We'll try to come out more often then."
"That'd be nice." I smile.
"This time alone is nice."
"It is. No drama, interruptions, nothing..."
"But us." Alex finishes, pressing another kiss to my neck.
"For a week." I add.
"Which is greatly needed."
"Definitely, after everything that's happened that led up to Wrestlemania last weekend."
"Yeah."
"Which you were extremely happy that I won at...now that I mention it."
"Yes I was and still am. I'm very proud."
I turn around in his arms, resting my hands on them.
"I can tell."
He smiles down at me and places a light kiss on my lips. I smile as he pulls away, leaning
my forehead against his, and looking into his eyes.
"Love you."
"I love you too."
"So what's on the agenda for today?"
"Oh I don't know yet. What'd you have in mind?"
"How about the pool or the beach?"
"The beach sounds good, we can just walk since it's not far from here because we can hear
it. But aww man, I gotta change out of these nice clothes." I laugh.
"Right." He agrees.
"But you can always put them back on later." He adds.
"Yeah, I know. Well let's get ready to go down there, which means you have to let me go first."
"Aww."
"But wait, I don't have to right this minute..." He adds, smirking and then picking me up and
putting me over his shoulder.
"Alex!" I squeal.
"Put me down..."
"Nope." He laughs.
"Please?"
"Nope."
"...fine, I'll just be enjoying the view back here." I giggle.
He laughs as he walks inside. He slides the door shut behind him, then makes his way to
the bedroom where he then proceeds to drop me on the bed. He covers my body with his smirks down at me.
"What happened to getting ready for the beach?"
"We will. Just not right this minute."
"Well well we could've stayed outside then..."
"Just be quiet."
"So demanding...what if I don't? Hmm?"
One of his hands drifts down to my side.
"Ohhhh, no you don't."
"Gonna be quiet now?"
"I have no choice do I?"
"Not really."
"Fine, I'll be quiet..."
"Good." Alex says, pressing his lips to mine.
I go to put my arms around his neck, but he stops me and laces his fingers with mine, preventing me from moving them at all. He chuckles as I whine. From there he trails his lips away mine, going behind my ear and I move my head to the side while biting my lip, so he could get to it better. He chuckles again and continues to drop kisses down my neck until he reaches that sensitive spot and pauses. I give a quiet grumble, because of the torture that he's putting me through at the moment. Alex smirks and kisses around the spot before he decides to go after it. A mix between a moan and a sigh of content escapes from me, as my grip on his hands gets tighter. He smirks again and stays on the spot for a minute before moving back up to my to lips. He finally decides to let my hands go and wraps his arms under and around me, pulling me closer to him. I slide my arms up around his neck, gently tugging on his hair with my fingers. While I have one hand there, my other hand goes down to his neck where my nails gently drag across it. He growls, unconsciously tightening his hold on me. I break the kiss briefly, leaning against his forehead with my eyes still closed.
"Dazed?"
"I don't think that begins to cover it..."
"I did my job then." Alex smirks.
"...you do your job very well..." I say, opening my eyes to look at him.
"Why thank you."
"I think we should get ready for the beach before things get distracting again..."
"Right." He kisses me one last time before getting up.
I get up, and grab a swimsuit from my dresser drawer, and head into the bathroom to
change. Alex changes quickly and waits for me. I come out a few minutes later with a couple
of towels and whatnot, leaving my hair tied up.
"Ready?"
"Yep, all set."
He gets up and the two of us get anything else we might need before heading out. We walk
out of the back door, through my yard and through the gate, heading down the small hill that
leads to the beach.
"I love that you're so close to the beach." Alex comments as we walk onto the sand and look for a good spot.
"I figured that it saves on having to drive to it. So I found the place right close to the beach
and I had to take it. It looks incredible at night when you stand in the yard."
"We should do that tonight. Maybe have a little bonfire or something."
"That's actually a really good idea." I smile.
He smiles back and kisses my cheek.
"Haven't had a bonfire or been to one in years. It'll be nice."
"Yeah. We can even make smore if you wanted to."
"It's like you just read my mind."
"I know you." He laughs.
"Yes you do."
He smiles and helps me lay out the towels and stuff. We decide to sit and relax for a bit,
before deciding to go into the water.
"But of course before the fire, you and I are going out for dinner." He adds.
"Ooh..." I smile.
"We don't get to do that a lot, so I figured during our little break here, it'd be the perfect time."
"Very true."
"You've just planned out the whole night haven't you?" I laugh.
"Guess so." He chuckles.
"I have a feeling tonight is going to be an amazing night."
"Me too." Alex agrees.
"Bet I can beat you to the water." I say, after a few moments.
"Bet you can't." He retorts.
"Is that a challenge?"
"I think so."
"Well then...you're on." I say, standing up.
He gets up too, and I don't give him a warning, I just take off running.
"Hey!" He exclaims, chasing after me.
"You got to be faster than that!" I yell back, laughing.
He runs faster, gaining on me.
"Ahh no!" I squeal.
He catches me and scoops me up into his arms while laughing.
"Heyyy not fair."
"Too bad."
"You cheat..."
"Hey you cheated first."
"It's called a headstart."
"Suuuure."
"So what if I did cheat? What're you gonna do about it?"
Alex wades into the water while still holding me. He gets to a certain depth and drops me in.
I come up to the surface sputtering.
"Ohhh, not cool."
"You'll live." He laughs.
"It's a good thing the water's not that cold. Otherwise you'd be in trouble." I laugh poking him.
"But it isn't so I'm good."
"You got lucky this time..."
He chuckles.
"But anyways...think fast." I say, splashing him and he splashes me back.
I start swimming backwards trying to avoid his splashes, as I keep splashing him. He
swims after me, laughing. I decide to suddenly go underwater and swim around so that
when I come back up to the surface I'm behind him.
"Over here..." I wave innocently.
"Hey! You sneak."
"Love you too." I smile, then he comes after me again.
"No you don't..."
"Oh yes."
"Don't make me go back up on that beach..."
"Oh that's not fair."
"I'm only teasing..." I say, swimming over to him then wrapping my arms around his neck.
"Good." Alex wraps his arms around me.
"Now, let's get to the swimming SharkBoy." I laugh.
"Alright." He smirks.
It's evening and now Mike and Aly are getting ready to go out to dinner. She's standing in the
closert wearing her terry cloth bath wrap dress, her hair dry and part of it pulled back in two
braids that meet at the back of her head. She's chewing on her lip and studying the dresses
that are there. Mike walks into the closet, after finishing getting ready.
"Having trouble picking something?"
"Uh-huh." She sighs.
"I'll help." He smiles, standing next to her and studying the dresses himself.
"Thank you." She kisses his cheek.
"Anything for you." He says, before his eyes settle on one dress.
"Here, wear this one." He adds, grabbing it.
"Okay." She agrees, walking over to pick out the appropriate shoes.
"I'm sure you'd look amazing in any dress you would've picked out. But I was glad to help."
"You're too sweet." She comes back over and kisses him gently before going to change.
He smiles and walks out of the closer, sitting on the bed waiting for her to finish getting
ready. She comes out with the dress and shoes on. She walks to the dresser where he
jewelry is and picks out the pieces she wants to wear. Perfume and lipgloss are last and
then she turns to Mike.
"Done."
"I was right, you look amazing."
"Thank you." She says, a light blush forming on her cheeks.
He gets up and walks over to her, holding out his arm.
"Shall we?"
"We shall." She takes his arm and they head out.
Once they get to BOA Steakhouse, Mike gets out and comes over to her side, opening the
door for her while the valet comes around to go park the car. As she gets out, she notices
that Chris and James are standing around outside waiting for them. She lets Mike take her
hand and pull her along with him as they walk over to them. Chris greets Mike, and vice
versa along with Mike greeting James. Then he introduces her to them. She greets them
and they do the same in return. They all head inside and get a table, ordering drinks first
while talking to one another.
"So how's life in the WWE?" Chris asks her as she stirs her drink.
"Good...most of the time." She replies after taking a sip.
"Have to say that you're greatly missed though." She adds.
"Well thank you. And you said 'most of the time'...anything in particular happening there?"
"Stalkers and then all this drama with Cena..." She says, frowning as she mentions John.
"I've noticed...I've been watching Raw every monday after Dancing With The Stars. I even
saw Mania...if I was still around, I'd probably teach him lesson."
"I still haven't seen him since then. I don't want to either. He used to be like a brother but
now...I can't even look at him or stand his voice."
"You shouldn't have gone through that, I can't imagine how you felt."
"It wasn't pretty." She shakes her head.
"Well you don't have to worry about that anymore. You're here, having a great time and that's
all that matters."
"That's true." She smiles a little.
"So, Mike's been talking about you a lot lately...to me anyway."
She can't help but laugh.
"His dad said about the same thing when I met them."
"Well, I can see why he talks about a lot."
I blush a little.
"How's the big wedding planning going?"
"Its going good. Things are falling into place and its getting exciting." She smiles.
"I better be getting an invite." He laughs.
"Of course!" She laughs.
Then the waiter came back over, and they all ordered their food, and talked some more
about the wedding and whatnot.
"Oh, I so have to get Carly to invite you to hers. You know about her and Alex right?"
"Yeah I do. How are they doing?"
"They're good. They went down to her place in Florida for the week."
"We're all taking a break from everything." She adds.
"Makes sense." Chris nods.
"A much needed break from the drama and everything. Plus it lets Mike relax and not
aggravate his concussion."
"Yeah, don't want to aggravate that..."
"No. I know exactly what can happen and so I've been making sure he relaxes like he's
supposed to."
"Good for you, knowing what to do." He smiles.
"Sports medicine degree coming in handy."
"It does indeed."
She smiles a little and nods, playing with her wedding rings. Eventually the food comes and
they eat, with the occasional talking. Once they were all done, Mike and Chris pay the bill and they all get up and start heading outside. She steps out first, one hand still linked with Mike's. When they get out there, there's tons of paparazzi outside. One says 'Jericho', another says 'Miz' and they start flashing the cameras.
"What's up guys? How is everyone?" Mike greets as Jericho stops to sign a few autographs and you and Mike walk by.
"All the cameras are over here right now Mike."
"You're so cool Jericho, you're so cool. It's just your amazing dancing, that's what it is."
Aly laughs. Then they all start walking down the sidewalk to the valet payment stand, the paparazzi following of course.
"Can we get an improv match right now?" One of the paparazzi asks.
"You would love that wouldn't you?" Mike asks, jokingly as he gets to the stand.
"Can we get a dance off?"
"Did you just say you want a dance off?" He asks, laughing as he turns around to pay for the valet.
"It's not like you can't dance..." She points out, giggling.
"But break out into dance out here? I don't think so." He chuckles.
"Just saying."
Then the paparazzi ask Chris some questions about Dancing With The Stars, as Mike pays.
"Does Snooki belong in wrestling?"
"Yes, she's amazing." Chris answers.
"Incredible...incredible." Mike adds.
"I think if there's ever gonna be a replacement for Jericho in the business, Snooki's the one."
Aly can't help but laugh.
"How could you ever be replaced in the WWE?" Mike asks.
"I think by an orange munchkin...could replace me yeah."
"You're gonna start ballroom dancing as a career."
"In the ring."
"Forget about WWE, it's all about ballroom dancing."
"It's like..." Chris trails off, the mutters something in a voice which makes Mike crack up.
"...perfect." Mike laughs.
She looks between them, amused.
"That's a good one. Hahahaha." Mike continues, still laughing.
Then more questions pertaining to Dancing With The Stars were asked to Chris, and then Aly and Mike signed some autographs for a couple of the people there while they were waiting.
"Are you doing the pedicures and manicures..."
"No...are you?"
"You're...you're really stretching for some questions right now aren't you?" Mike asks.
"I've been getting pedicures and manicures since I was 18 years old. What's wrong with that?" Chris asks.
Aly snickers.
"Does that make me weird or what? Manicures are great, feeling the cuticles get soft. It's amazing, it's a great feeling, it's better than sex."
Aly and Mike look at him in a weird, but amused way.
"Really? Really?" Mike asks, almost to the point of laughing.
"I have no words for that." Aly laughs.
"It's better...having your cuticles pushed back..." He tries explaining to her.
Then the paparazzi changes the subject and so does Chris.
"...or if you've just been hanging around outside waiting for somebody to talk to."
"We've been waiting for you all night actually."
"Good, nice."
"Don't we feel special."
"These are the questions that you come up with? You've had 3 hours to literally think about all the questions and all you can think about is mani pedis? Come on...come on guys!" Mike says jokingly.
"We're practicing because Vanessa Hudgens is inside and..."
"Oh was she? Did she not come out yet? We're just like your warm up right?"
"This is your warm up."
"Who is she going out with Justin Bieber?" Chris asks.
"No isn't it...isn't it Zac Efron?"
"Oh Efron. Is Zac Efron here? AHHH! Is he here?"
Aly laughs at him. The paparazzi tell him 'no' and he goes 'oh'.
"She used to date him."
"Oh, then who's she dating now?" Chris asks.
"Some actor, some D-lister."
"You don't even like him." Mike states.
"Oh, a D-lister!" Chris says amused.
"You don't even like him do you? Look at you...you're like 'some D-lister'. 'Somebody who won't make TMZ'." Mike adds.
"What does that put us in, about E?"
"Yeah, where are we at then? I mean I'm curious on that note."
They say that you're all on the A-list and whatnot.
"There you go. Especially me, thank you very much. See that I'm 'A', you're like 'B'. You're
like 'B' now."
"I'm 'A' like in 'EH'. Like how's it going eh?"
Mike nods his head and chuckles. Aly laughs a little and shakes her head in amusement.
"What do you think about James Durbin?" Someone asks.
"I love James Durbin, he's my favorite, he's a great kid." Chris answers.
"The best. He's the best, he's going to win American Idol this year. You heard it from me first." Mike adds.
"That's right, Miz loves him. We love him." Chris continues.
Aly smiles and agrees.
"Are you betting in Vegas on that?"
"I'm betting on everything in Vegas...tiddlywinks, college/highschool soccer. Uh Russian dancing...huh? You look like David Archuleta, is that what happened to you?" Chris asks one of the paparazzi guys.
"Sing us something." Mike says, after Aly and him laugh.
"What? Oh, like I haven't heard that question yet, that's funny. You."
"Which one of them would you bodyslam?" Mike asks.
"Yeah, are you gonna bodyslam Cheryl Burke? Like wow, I've heard that 7,000 times."
"The Waltz of Jericho? When's that happening huh?" Mike asks.
"Break down the Waltz..."
"Break down the Waltz? Have you done the Waltz yet?"
"No, but when we do I'll break it down."
Aly laughs faintly and then gives a slight shiver as a wind blow lightly.
"You're gonna break down? You're gonna put her on the Walls of Jericho?" Mike asks, but still noticing the slight shiver, and puts an arm around Aly.
"Haha just the Waltz of Jericho..."
"Just the Waltz...hahaha." Mike laughs.
She steps closer to him, resting her head against his shoulder. One guy asks something but Chris couldn't understand him.
"You got to speak louder, you got to speak better English. What're you saying?"
"Ohhhhh!" Mike exclaims and Aly cracks up.
"Who's the Mizbell?" Chris asks.
"No are you gonna take his belt..."
"Oh the Miz's belt...don't say belt."
"It's a title. See you can buy a belt at Target or WalMart. I earned the WWE Championship thank you very much." Mike corrects them.
Aly giggles. Someone else asks Mike something, and then repeated himself after Mike didn't understand him.
"The Rock stepped in..."
"He did? I don't even remember. All I remember is I was pinning John Cena 1..2...3. That's all I remember. And I remember walking out the WWE Champion. Did you see?" He asks Chris.
"I saw. I paused it, I printed it out and I made a t-shirt out of it."
"You did didn't you?"
"1, 2, 3 pause...and it was like..." He trailed off making hand motions on his shirt.
"...I silk screened it." He continues.
"You should be wearing it right now, it could get some good press out of this."
"And I made some underwear out of it too."
"That's great, maybe you could wear it on Dancing With The Stars."
"I should, I should."
"Put some...bedazzle it a little bit..."
Aly shakes her head, laughing.
"Yeah, dance for the Miz. I danced for my mom, I'll dance for you now."
"Yes, could you please? Dedicate one for me?" Mike asks, cracking up.
"Dedicate one to the Miz." Chris adds and Mike laughs.
Aly slides her arms around Mike, still laughing.
"My god guys...really slow..." Chris comments.
"By the way do you guys pay these guys to do this really slow? You guys are like 'listen, we're gonna need some time asking a bunch of questions...we actually work for BOA'." Mike laughs a bit.
"So will you be going on tour with Charlie Sheen anytime soon."
"Ohhh that's the question right there." One of the paparazzi guys say.
"That's a terrible question. Yes, I'm opening for Charlie Sheen at Radio City Music Hall next week, I'm very excited. I'm getting my act together right now." Chris jokes.
"That should be good." Aly snickers.
"This is part of it, how am I doing? That was one of the worst questions I've heard in my life. It's like 'so uh, are you gonna get a job at BOA soon? Cleaning the dishes or uh what's coming up next for you? Okay so what kind of car do you drive...'." Chris says in this little voice.
"I can make your face dance look..." One guy says, showing Chris the camera obviously showing him something he can do with the picture he took.
"Yeah keep it up, keep messing with them, see what they do. They're gonna edit you man, they're gonna edit you." Mike says, laughing.
"What if I pull a Sean Penn? Pull up your camera, I'll give you something. Hold up your camera Steeler Boy."
"Yeah Steelers really?" Mike adds.
Aly shakes her head.
"So one question...we know you got married early and the big wedding is in 3 months...what about kids?"
Even Chris looks interested in the answer.
"We've talked about it and we're not looking to have them right now. Obviously if it happens then we'd be excited and happy but for now, having kids isn't something we're worried about." She explains, turning to look at them.
"When you do decide to have kids, name one after me." Chris says, laughing.
"We'll see." Aly laughs.
"Oh, that's me." Mike says, seeing the valet pull his car up.
"Watch this...watch this." Chris says, making a face and raising his fist for the paparazzi to take a picture of.
In the meantime, Aly and Mike say bye to James, and then bye to Chris and start walking to the car.
"Miz are you gonna get a shot at the Rock or no?"
"If he wants some, come...well I don't want to say that. I was about to say the Cena stuff."
Aly makes a face. Mike walks over and opens the door for her, and she steps down off the curb and turns to wave at Chris.
"Bye Chris." She says.
He tells the paparazzi to get out of the way, as he makes his way over and hugs her.
"Stealing gimmick? Remember you got to be nice now. You got to get points, you got to get votes, you got to get the votes man. You got to be likeable, you got to be likeable."
Aly laughs.
"Thanks for dinner by the way." He says to Mike.
"Alright, sure no problem." Mike replies as Chris walks away.
"You guys literally had 20 minutes over there to get the autographs, and now you're gonna do it." Mike adds, as you're signing more autographs for people.
"Oh be nice." She laughs.
"Bye Chris." She says one last time before getting into the car after signing the autographs.
"Bye Alyssa, take care." He replies, taking out his phone and filming all the paparazzi.
Mike walks around to the driver's side and gets in, starting the car and she has the window down. One of the paparazzi comes over with a picture they took of Mike, showing it to him.
"Do I look good? Yeah I got a tan and everything, I look good!"
She laughs.
"Dork."
Mike puts the shifts the car into gear, before looking in front of him, and then behind him before he backs up and pulls out, heading back to the condo.
"Well that was interesting."
"But it was entertaining."
"Very true."
"Now we can go back home and relax for the rest of the night."
"Sounds good." She smiles and rests her head against his arm. Then begins the long ride
back to the condo. In the meantime, Alex and I are getting ready for our own dinner to go to.
Alex finishes first as usual and sits on the bed to watch the tc while waiting for me. I come
out of the bathroom all ready, and I shut the light out. All that I do next is slip my shoes on
and I'm all ready to go.
"Hey beautiful, ready?" Alex smiles at me.
"Yep, I'm all set." I smile, walking over to him as he stands up and lace my fingers with his.
He kisses my cheek and we head out to the car. I go to get into the driver's side since it's my
car, but he stops me and takes the keys from me.
"I'm driving."
"Okay then." I laugh, moving to go around to the other side.
We both get in, and once he starts the car we pull out of the driveway and head off to
whatever restaurant it is he was planning on going to. Alex pulls up to the place and the
valet comes around after Alex gets out. He comes over to my door and opens it for me,
offering his hand to help me out. I smile and take it and he closes the door behind me, then
we make our way inside and are led to our table. When we sit down we order the drinks
first, and sit there talking while we wait for them.
"This is nice, being able to go out and enjoy time by ourselves." Alex comments, rubbing his
thumb across the back of my hand.
"I couldn't agree with you more." I smile.
He lifts up my hand and kisses it.
"I love you."
"And I love you too, more than you'll ever know."
He smiles at me and then the two of us talk some more until the waiter comes to take our
food orders. After ordering, we wait some more again until the food comes, and we talk
frequently. Once we're done, we wait for the bill to be brought over, and when it is Alex pays it
and we get up and head outside to wait for the valet. Paparazzi comes over and begins to
ask questions.
"Yes, we're really excited for the wedding in two months." I answer one of the questions.
"Now that your wedding is so close, what are your thoughts on having children?" One asks.
"Well we really haven't talked about it. I do know that we both agree on waiting until after the
wedding. Don't know when it will happen, but when it happens...it happens. But definitely not
until after we're married." I answer and Alex nods in agreement.
"Now onto another subject, what was it like beating Eve to get your first title at
Wrestlemania?"
"Oh it was amazing. My first time competeing at Wrestlemania, and it was just...basically a
dream come true. When I first got into the business, I never thought that I'd get a title shot,
let alone perform on the grandest stage of them all."
"So what are your plans now?"
"Right now, I plan on keeping that title for a long time. I will defend it only when I need to."
They ask a few more questions and then the valet brings up my car. Alex and I sign
autographs as we walk along to the car, and stop when we reach it. He opens the door for
me and I get in as he shuts the door and walks around, getting into the driver's seat. He
looks to make sure cars aren't coming, then he pulls out and we head back to my house to
have the fire. We get to my house and the two of us go in to change. Once we change into
more casual clothes, we grab what we need for the fire and the smores before going out to
the backyard. After getting the fire started, I sit down on the ground while we wait for it to get
going a bit more. Alex comes and sits behind me, wrapping his arms around me and
pulling me backwards so I'm leaning back into him.
"Today has been a great day." Alex says, placing a kiss behind my ear.
"It has, I think tonight's been better."
"Hmm...true. It's all been amazing."
"And we're ending the night quite nicely, if I do say so myself."
"Yes we are."
"And see? I told you it looks amazing from here at night." I say, pointing to the ocean.
"It does." He agrees.
"But that's not the only amazing thing out here..." He adds.
"Hmm?" I look at him.
"...I'm talking about you..."
"Aw..." I gigle a little, blushing.
"And you're cute when you blush." He says, kissing my cheek.
"So you say everytime."
"Because it's true."
"Of course you think so."
He just smiles and rests his head on my shoudler, then I lay my head against his.
"We need to do this more often."
"Definitely, even if it's just taking one week off per month."
"Yeah."
Once the fire had been going for quite some time, I lift my head up and reach over to grab
the smores stuff, grabbing a marshmallow and putting it on the stick and over the fire. Alex
leaves one arm wrapped around me, using the other to roast his own marshmallow. I pull
mine back just to see that it caught fire, and I blow the fire out. I keep it on the stick, until I put
between the chocolate and graham crackers and I pull it off without having to touch the
marshmallow itself. Alex manages to keep his from catching fire and pulls his out to put it
on the graham cracker. We both eat the smores contentedly. After eating for a while,
roasting many marshmallows and whatnot, we both laid on the grass and looked up at the
sky.
"Oh look, I see the star you got me last year." I say, pointing it out.
"So it is." He chuckles.
"Still amazes me to this day that you got it."
"Well it struck me as something you'd like."
"And I do like it, more like love it...always will."
"Glad to hear it." He smiles.
I shift to my side, and drape an arm around him, pulling myself closer and resting my head
on his chest. Alex laces his fingers with mine and runs the fingers of his other hand through
my hair. I try to keep my eyes from closing but I failed, and the sound of the ocean helped
me drift off to sleep a lot quicker. Alex ends up falling asleep himself. Back with Aly and Mike, they've jsut got back to the condo and walked inside. They go to the bedroom and change into comfier things. After that, they climb into bed and then he immediately pulls her into him. She snuggles against him, sighing in content.
"Enjoy the night?"
"Very much."
"I'm glad." He smiles.
"What about you?"
"Of course I enjoyed it."
"Good."
"But I bet you're tired..."
"Mmm...kind of but not really."
"I can help you go to sleep, if you want."
"Okay."
He moves a hand to her back and starts rubbing it, to try and help her go to sleep. Her eyes
slowly fall shut. Then she drifts off to sleep, and he shortly follows.
