The next morning I wake up, but I'm too lazy to move. Since Aly and I both have interviews to go to today and photoshoots, we had to be up a bit early. So as I'm laying on my stomach with the side of my head laying on the pillow, through barely open eyes I reach around on the side table for my phone to check the time. I feel it finally, and grab it off the table. I blink my eyes a few times to be able to see better and I turn on my phone. After waiting for it to turn on and the home screen to come up, I look at the time and it's a bit after 8. I place my phone back down on the table, before slowly getting out of bed and going over to my things to pick out clothes. After finding some, I go into the bathroom to change.
I change into a one shoulder, red keyhold top and a leather skirt. Jewelry I chose was a red Oceanic Light Siam Pendant, Diamond cut black bangles, my engagement and promise rings, and Red Drop Earrings. I move onto my makeup and nails, which was going with the red theme. Red magic dust eyeshadow, Lip Candy Gloss and dark red nail polish. I did my hair first, which was basically straight besides the ends that I had curled.
I come out and Alex is stirring, moving around a little as he wakes up.
"Rise and shine." I say, as I sit down to put my shoes on.
Alex mumbles incoherently.
"If you're going to my interviews and photo shoots, you better get moving." I tell him.
"...photo shoots...?" He mumbles.
"Yes photo shoots."
"Now get up, you don't want me to be late do you?" I add.
He shakes his head and stumbles out of bed, going to get his clothes. Since he's half asleep still, he stumbles to the bathroom to get changed too. After a few minutes Alex comes out fully dressed and looking more awake than he did before.
"Morning sleepyhead." I laugh.
"Morning." He says after yawning.
"You know, you're so lucky the marks you left on me from last night were coverable when I was getting ready."
He snickers, grinning.
"If they weren't...well then I wouldn't be letting you do that for a while."
He stops and the grin slides off his lips.
"I'm only teasing...you know I can't say 'no' to you...on occasion." I laugh, turning to look at him.
He sighs a little in relief.
"Plus, you know I can't resist it." I add, getting up and walking over to grab my phone to
check through my messages and whatnot.
He smirks slightly.
"Right."
When I turn back around, I see that he's still standing where he is, and still has that smirk on his face.
"...what?"
He walks over and takes my face in his hands, pulling me into a kiss. I do seem a bit surprised at first, and then respond with kissing back. I pull away a few moments after.
"Not that I'm complaining or anything, but what was that for?"
"Because I can."
"Well duh, of course you can..."
He chuckles and gives me a quick short kiss.
"Love you."
"Love you too."
"How much time do we have before you have to be there?"
"About an hour until the interviews, and after those are done, I have to head right to the photo shoots."
"Alright, shall we go get some breakfast then?"
"Yeah, sounds like a good idea. Wanna invite Mike and Aly? I mean because she and I are going to the interviews and photo shoots together. We can all eat, and then head out."
"Up to you."
"Eh, they're probably still sleeping. I'll just leave her a message on our way out, and they can meet us there if they want."
"Works for me."
We grab whatever we need, and then head out for breakfast. We walk since there's a place right down the street, and as we're walking I leave Aly the message. She faintly hears the sound of something beeping but ignores it in favor of snuggling closer to Mike. Mike could hear the beeping too since he was half awake.
"...stop...the beeping..."
"It'll stop in a second just let it go." She mumbles.
Like she said, it stopped eventually.
"Peace and quiet."
"Mmm..."
"So...what're we doing today?" He asks.
"Interviews and photo shoots."
"Photo shoots huh?" I do like those."
"I know you do." She laughs quietly.
"We'll see what they have me wear this time..." She adds.
"I know you'll look amazing in whatever it is." He smiles.
"Charmer." She teases lightly.
"But you love me anyway."
"Of course. Very much." She lays a kiss on his chest.
He smiles, and then kisses the top of her head.
"So how long until we leave for everything?"
"A little less than an hour."
"So I suppose we should get up now right?"
"...yeah..."
"I know you don't want to, but we can't have you being late."
"I know." She sighs and starts to roll away.
"Ah, one thing first." He says, pulling her back to him and then starts to kiss her.
She kisses back after the momentary surprise wears off. He pulls away after a few minutes and she slowly opens her eyes.
"...I'm awake now." She says, blinking.
"Good." He chuckles.
She shakes her head a little and rolls away, sliding off the bed to get her clothes. He slides out of bed himself and goes over to his things for clothes as well. They both get dressed and do their usual stuff in the bathroom. She gets done with that and sits on the bed to put her shoes on. After she gets her shoes on, she goes over and gets her phone to see why it was beeping. She sees that I had left a message telling her about breakfast.
"Alex and Dolce went to breakfast." She tells Mike as she feels him behind her.
"...and?"
"That's basically it."
"Ah, well wanna go join them anyway? I mean that wastes the time before your interviews."
"Sure why not." She shrugs.
They grab what they need, before heading out to join us. They go to the place where Alex and I are, and find us.
"Hey." They greet us.
"Hey." We greet back, as they sit down.
The waiter comes over and takes Mike and Aly's orders.
"It's gonna be a long day."
"Oh yeah, for sure."
"But hey, it comes with the territory."
"Yup, we knew that when we got into this."
"Yup."
"The photo shoots should be fun at least."
"Yeah, that's true."
"I wonder what crazy things we're gonna be wearing this time...I still can't forget the one with
the furry boots." I laugh.
"Haha I know. That was fun though."
"Yes it was. You were fascinated with the fur and how it moved around whenever you walked
or whatever."
Mike and Alex snicker and she swats them.
"Shush you two."
Then moments later the food that they had ordered was brought over, along with what Alex
and I had ordered. We all eat and talk, wasting time until we have to go. We head back to the
hotel, and back up to our room to get whatever else we needed. Mike of course grabs the
title, and I grab mine as well. We all meet down by the car, then head off to the first interview
for the day.
"Should be interesting." Aly says as we walk into the place.
"I know right? Got to expect the personal questions...the same ones that everyone tends to
be asking us lately."
"Yup."
We walk in, and then we're led down the hall and led into the studio. We sit in the chairs on the small stage, and wait for them to move onto us for the next part in the show. It doesn't take long and soon it's our turn.
"We are now joined by two lovely ladies of the WWE. Diva's Champion Carly, and former champion Sadie. It's great to have you here with us this morning."
"And it's great to be here."
"Thank you for having us."
"Now, it's been a few weeks since Wrestemania. Tell us, how was that for you?"
"Just an amazing experience, it was unbelievable."
"It was. We've been watching it on tv for years, but to actually be a part of it was amazing."
"To be able to compete at Wrestlemania...wow. It was huge to have years of work, at least on my part, finally pay off and to show that on the biggest stage of the WWE, very much a dream come true."
"And for me, I agree with her about what it felt like to compete at Wrestlemania. But added onto that feeling was when I had competed and won the title here...on the biggest stage of the WWE." I add.
"Congratulations on the title win. How big was it to get the win over the previous champion Eve?"
"It was huge. I mean she's been in the business for what...a couple years or so? I haven't been around as long as she has. So it was pretty big to get that win over her."
"Kind of similar to when I got the title from LayCool even though I'd only been around the WWE for about a month at the time." Aly adds.
"And I have to come out and say this...we are definitely making a change in the Women's Division." I add.
"We want to get the respect back for the women. Its gotten to where a lot of people are changing the channel and not watching the Divas and we want to change that and show that we can be hardcore too."
"Example number one...my match last night. The number one person who doesn't have that
respect for anyone on the diva roster...is Michael Cole."
"He'll learn if we have anything to do with it. He's messed with the wrong Divas. We aren't the next generation of DX for any plain reason and I'll leave it at that."
"Sounds like he's in for a world of trouble. But sticking with talking about the WWE. The draft is next Monday, any thoughts on that?"
"Um...not in particular other than its going to shake things up for sure. We're hoping to stay where we are but anything can happen."
"Right, I mean it is the WWE. Surprises happen, some are good...some are bad."
"Just have to wait until it happens and go from there."
"Of course. Now, it's something I have to talk about with you...personal lives."
"Oh boy." Aly laughs.
"You're...engaged right?"
"Yes." I reply.
"The wedding is actually in almost a month." I add.
"Everybody involved is excited, though none are more excited than Carly and Alex of course." Aly interjects.
"Well it's our wedding...of course we'd be the most excited." I laugh.
"Just saying."
"Everything is all set for it, except for some minor things. Beach is reserved for that day and everything."
"Getting married on a beach? That sounds nice." The intereviewer says.
"It is, but this is what makes it even nicer. It kind of has some sentimental value to it. See the beach we're getting married on is the same exact beach where we had our first date."
"Ahhh, that makes sense."
"And you're married. Are you still planning that big wedding anyway?" The interviewer asks Aly.
"Yes we are, it'll be in July and at a place that has meaning as well though I won't say where. Our family and friends will be at this one and we're really looking forward to it."
"So you went from being just regular, normal fans of the two of them...and now you're marrying them. I can't imagine how you feel about all that."
We both laugh.
"It's very surreal sometimes." Aly admits.
"We never imagined anything like this would happen and yet here we are."
"If I hadn't moved out of Chicago, I wouldn't have met Mike and joined him on the road. I wouldn't have met Alex, and she wouldn't have met Mike."
"Yeah, who knows what would have happened. We're just happy to have the lives that we have. We feel very blessed."
We go through a few more questions before the show went to a commercial, and we were thanked for coming on the show. Then we leave for the photo shoots. When we get there, we look around for a bit, before being signalled to go get changed and whatnot for our first round of photos. We change and then get ushered into hair and makeup. After we got that done, we met each other by the doorway, that leads out to the sets and cameras.
"Ohhh, Alex is gonna die." Aly cracks up.
"Well I had him dieing earlier with my regular clothes." I laugh.
"I could tell, he couldn't take his eyes off you for long."
"And he still won't be able to..."
She snickers and agrees as we walk out. The guys are sitting down and talking to each other, and we walk up trying to control the laughter because we know what their reactions are gonna be. We stop in front of them and wait for them to notice. Mike is the first one to notice, out of the corner of his eyes, and he nudges Alex as he starts to look up. Their eyes go wide and their jaws drop while they look from head to toe, taking in our entire looks. We look at each other with amused looks, before looking back at them.
"Flies guys."
They snap out of it, their mouths shutting. I squeal as Alex reaches out and grabs me, pulling me down so that I'm sitting on his lap.
"Don't mess anything up..."
"I won't." He says.
"If only she could keep that outfit, right DC?" Aly laughs.
Alex nods vigorously. She snickers, fiddling with the chain belt that is threaded through the belt loops of the torn up jeans she's wearing.
"If only you could keep that too..." Mike comments, with a smirk.
"You would." She laughs.
"Of course I would."
She nods and moves back a little while giggling after he drags his fingertips along her skin through one of the tears on her thigh.
"Quit."
"But it's fun..."
"It tickles."
"I can't help it."
She yelps as he leans forward and grabs her, sitting her on his lap.
"Aha, he got you too." I laugh.
She sticks her tongue out at me, laughing.
"At least I'm not the one with the ripped jeans." I tease.
"I'm not wearing leather." She retorts.
"I happen to like these pants, thank you very much."
"And so does Alex." She snickers.
"I know he does." I say, smiling and turning to look at him.
He grins. The photographers come over to retrieve us, and we get off the guys' laps, walking over to the sets. They explain to us what they wan and we step onto the sets and do what they ask. The guys watch from where they're sitting, with smirks on their faces. After all the pictures, we went back to get changed into outfit #2, then again hair and makeup. Aly meets
me at the door, playing with the soft curls in her hair.
"Wearing stockings or whatever these are is weird." She says, motioning to her legs.
"It looks like it."
"It'll definitely have Mike's attention for sure." She gives a wry smile as she pulls down the
button up plaid shirt a little.
"Oh yeah, definitely."
We walk out and this time Mike and Alex were watching for us. When Mike sees her, his eyebrows raise, his eyes go wide and a smirk forms on his lips. She doesn't notice his look at first, but as we get closer to the guys, she looks up and tries to stifle a laugh. Alex is looking me over from head to toe with a smirking grin.
"It's like the outfits keep getting better."
"You would think so."
"Well the outfits don't lie."
We both look amused. We didn't have much time to stay and talk to them, because we were led away and back to the newly set up sets for our pictures. We follow the directions again, doing the different poses and expressions for the photographers. After those were done, we walked off the sets so that they could be changed again, and we headed back in to get into our 3rd and final outfits, followed by the hair and makeup again. We walk out again.
"Be prepared for Mike to like be more googly eyed than the last two outfits." I mutter to her, giggling.
She laughs.
"Wait until he sees the back of the shirt."
"He'll definitely be amazed by it, that's for sure."
She giggles in repsonse.
"Alex is sure to love your outfit too." She adds.
"Yeah, I guess you can say that with all the clothes I've been wearing...including what I have for regular clothes that I changed into this morning...he's probably been going crazy all day."
"Poor guy." She laughs.
"Oh I'm sure I'll probably be paying for driving him crazy all day...later."
"Yep."
"As if I endured enough last night..."
"You got attacked last night too?" She asks, trying not to laugh.
"Yeah...wait you too?"
She nods, snickering.
"Well this was only to take my mind off of everything that pissed me off last night. He's so lucky I was able to cover up the marks this morning before we left."
"I was getting paid back for wearing leather."
"Aha, but yet you're gonna continue to wear it, just to drive him nuts."
"Yup." She grins.
"Well I hope I'm not gonna be in the same situation as you were last night, because my skirt
I'm wearing today...is leather too."
"Maybe, who knows."
Then we walk up to the guys again, and when we reach them they look at us again. We
laugh as they're speechless.
"...yep...definitely...better..." Mike manages to say.
She laughs and then turns enough for him to see the back of the shirt. He smirks, then
grabs her and pulls her closer to him, his hands on her back. She yelps and then laughs.
Alex tugs me close too.
"Now this shirt I like..." Mike whispers in Aly's ear.
"No...really?" She says sarcastically.
"If only you could keep it."
"I'm sure I can find something like it."
"Please?" He smirks.
"...I'll look."
"Good."
"Can't get enough huh?"
"Nope."
"Love boy." She says amusedly.
"You know it." He laughs.
She gives him a very brief, light kiss. When she pulls away, the photographers call us over for the final photos. We pull from the arms of the guys, and walk over...doing the usual. Doing everything that the photographers ask us to do. After a bit they finally let us go. We go into the back and change into our regular clothes. Once we're changed back into our clothes, we walk back out and over to the guys. We lean into their chests, sighing.
"It's been such a long day..."
"Uh-huh." Aly agrees with a groan.
"We can head back so you can get rest..." Mike suggests.
"Yesss..." We both agree.
They put an arm around our shoulders, and we lean on them as we walk out and get into the car, then head back to the hotel for some rest. We get to the hotel and go to our rooms. Mike and Aly walk into theirs and immediately she pulls off her shoes and the blazer jacket thing she's wearing along with her necklace before jumping onto the bed.
"Bedddd...I loooooove youuuuu..." She says, sprawling out and Mike chuckles.
"That tired?"
"...not really but I felt like being dramatic."
"You look really tired from the way you're laying there though."
She stretches into the center of the bed.
"Again, dramatics."
"Full of dramatics aren't you?" He laughs.
"Maybe but you love it."
"Indeed I do."
She gives him a smile, stretching again.
"But anyways, what're you doing all the way over there?" She asks.
"Guess I'll have to snuggle with this pillow instead..." She trails off, reaching up for one of the pillows.
"There will be no snuggling, unless it's with me..."
"Well get over here then."
"I'm coming, I'm coming...give me a minute." He says, taking his shoes off and walking over.
He climbs on the bed and she smiles as he leans over her.
"You looked amazing today."
"You're my husband, you're supposed to think so."
"But I don't think, I know."
"If you say so."
"Now, you said you were tired, so start taking that nap."
"My pillow isn't laying where it's supposed to be."
"Oh right, my bad." He chuckles, laying in his spot.
She laughs a little and curls up against him. He wraps an arm around her, rubbing his hand
up and down her back, and leans his head against hers. She easily drifts off, the soothing motion of his hand putting her to sleep. When Alex and I walk into our room, I walk over to the bed and sit down starting to take my shoes off.
"Those outfits were amazing." Alex says as he kicks off his shoes and takes off his jacket.
"You would think so."
"Of course I would." He smiles.
"It was you and you look beautiful in anything."
"As you tell me all the time."
"I do that so you know just how I feel." He kisses my cheek as he sits on the bed behind me.
"Even though you show it quite enough." I smile.
"Just being sure."
I get the other shoe off, and scooch backwards more, and end up leaning back into him. He wraps his arms around me and rests his head on mine.
"I love you." He says, kissing the top of my head.
"And as I always say, I love you too."
"I think we should lay down." He says after seeing me trying to stifle a yawn.
"Yeah...I think that would be a great idea."
Alex slides himself to his spot, pulling me with him. I shift and wrap my arms around him, laying my head on his shoulder and start to close my eyes. Alex lets his hand drift up and down my back lightly as I start to fall asleep.
