We were lounging in our rooms after the long flight. Mike and Alex left to go to the gym, so it was just me and Aly in our own rooms. After a while of just hanging out in the room, I got bored. So I got up and walked over to the connecting door, peeking my head into Aly and Mike's room.
"Hey, I'm kind of bored. We should go down to the pool."
"Sure, sounds good." She agrees, getting up from the bed where she was watching tv.
We both got and get into our swimsuits, gathering what we need to take with us. Aly grabs her sunscreen and stands in the door.
"I think we should put this stuff on up here, we don't need to give any guys down there a free show or something, you know?"
"Yeah true."
"You help me and then I'll help you?"
"Yep." I nod.
She walks over and we get to work, making sure she's fully covered before we get me covered as well. Once we get that done, she goes an grabs her bag with her stuff in it and her drink. She comes back into my room, and then I grab what I need, before we head out the door and down to the pool. We step out into the pool area. She sighs as we spot people we don't care for sitting around the pool. We find some chairs and walk over, placing our things on the ground and sitting on them. I take out my iPod and listen to my music as I lay there tanning. Aly listens to her music as well but also takes out a book title 'The Book of Awesome' and starts reading. It wasn't too much longer before Zack had spotted us and came over...of course. He gets our attention and we pause our music. Aly moves her feet and he sits on the end of her chair.
"Hi Zack."
"What're you up to?" I ask.
"Working on my tan of course." He replies.
"Of course, I should've known." I laugh, and he grins.
"Duh."
"No tanning at my wedding in a couple weeks...or fist pumping. Even though the fist pumping would be hilarious."
"Aww come on!" Zack protests.
"You can fist pump all you want at the reception." I laugh.
"Okay." He agrees.
"There's gonna be plenty of dancing so...yeah."
"Sounds great." He grins.
"Oh, I got big news for you both. It's been a while but, I'm finally getting a match on Raw tonight." He adds.
"Really? That's great."
"We miss seeing you. I mean yeah you're backstage most of the time, but we miss seeing you compete out there."
"Yeah, it'd be nice to see you compete more." Aly nods.
"Well hopefully tonight will be the start of that."
He nods in agreement.
"So how's the little one doing in there?" He asks, pointing to Aly's stomach.
"Doing good." She smiles.
"That's good."
"How far are you?" He questions.
"Two months."
"Ah."
"You know, you two are looking awful tan." Zack adds, looking between Aly and myself.
"Well we've been in the Bahamas for about a week so yeah, we're gonna be tan." Aly laughs.
"Bahamas huh? You couldn't invite me?" He asks jokingly, and we laugh.
"Sorry." I say amusedly.
"It was a surprise from Mike and Alex. We needed a vacation."
"Ah."
"Why, did you miss us?"
"Yeah! It's been dead boring around here." Zack says.
"Awww. Well then you deserve a hug." I laugh.
I go and hug him, and so does Aly. I look at Aly and motion towards the pool. She thinks about it and agrees, and we start moving towards the pool, still hugging him. We get to the edge of the pool and let him go, pushing him into the water. We stifle our laughter and high five each other, watching him reach the surface of the water.
"Not cool!" He exclaims.
"You should know us by now Zack. We're a couple of pranksters, and you should've expected that." I laugh.
"Good point...but still not cool!"
"Too bad." We say amusedly.
He climbs out of the pool, over to get his towel before coming back. We sit back on our chairs. We hang out and talk for a while, before deciding to swim for a bit. We put down our sunglasses and she takes off her cover-up and we get in the pool.
"You know tonight should be interesting considering the fact that the Tough Enough winner is gonna be announced on Raw."
"Yeah."
"Who do you see winning?"
"I'm kind of leaning towards Luke. He reminds me a lot of Mike and Randy." She shrugs.
"Yeah I want him to win too. I have a weird feeling that he won't though."
"Yeah."
Then we swim around for a while, before deciding to get out and dry off. Only because it's starting to get late and the show is starting in a few hours. As we're gathering our stuff, we don't realize that Mike and Alex have come looking for us. When we turn around to start heading back inside, that's when we see them walking over to us after spotting us.
"There you two are." Alex says.
"You must've been checking in the wrong places, we've been here the whole time." Aly laughs.
"This was the last place we decided to look."
"Well here we are." I say jokingly.
"We were just leaving to head up to the rooms and get ready for the show."
"Ah." He says.
"Did you even notice that the pool is almost empty now?" Mike asks.
"Not really, we were having fun with Zack." Aly shrugs, leaning against him.
"Ah, well let's get going now."
We agree and everybody heads up to the rooms. Since there's plenty of time, after walking into the room I head into the bathroom to take a shower to wash all the sunscreen off and the chlorine out of my hair from being in the pool. Alex reclines on the bed to watch tv and wait for me. After I was done with the shower and stepped out with the towel around me, I realized that I didn't bring any other clothes in the bathroom with me.
"Oh damn." I say to myself quietly.
I have no choice but to go out and get clothes to just wear until I have to change into the dress for the show in a few hours. So I was over to the door and open it, peeking my head out. Alex glances up.
"Something wrong?"
"Uh yeah...I have no clothes in here with me."
His eyebrows raise.
"I'm wearing a towel you goof. I just don't have clothes to change into."
"Do I have to get them?"
"Alex!"
"What? I was just asking."
"Yes!"
"Okay okay." He says, sliding off the bed.
"Just grab anything?"
"I should have some set out on top of my bag."
He nods and walks over to my things, seeing the clothes I have indeed set out on top of my bag. He grabs them and walks over to the bathroom door, handing them to me.
"Thanks." I say after he steals a kiss.
"Anytime." He grins.
I roll my eyes and shut the door so I can change. After changing I leave the towel and my swimsuit hanging over the shower to dry, and I come out of the bathroom all clean and everything. I climb onto the bed and cuddle up against Alex.
"And for a minute I thought I was going to have to walk out of that bathroom and get my clothes myself."
Alex chuckles.
"Oh I know you would've loved that."
"Can you blame me?"
"No not really." I laugh.
"Exactly."
"Then that would really be torture for you."
"Uh yeah."
Aly did the same thing and took a shower and everything. We all hung around for the few hours left, before we started to get ready for the show. My hair dried just in time, but it didn't hurt to blowdry it while I was styling it. Aly was doing the same and when she finished, she came out to put her shoes on. She puts her shoes on and stretches.
"I like the dress." Mike compliments.
"Thank you but I know that you really like it because it leave my neck and shoulders open."
"Mayyyybe." He grins.
She shakes her head and laughs.
"So tonight all I know that I'm supposed to do tonight, is after the Tough Enough winner is picked and everything, Truth is gonna come out to make his apology, and then I'm going out after him. Then of course Alex is coming out, and then John. It's up to you if you wanna go out there with me."
"Okay."
"We're all gonna be waiting by the curtain, so you have plenty of time to make a decision."
"Alright." She nods.
"But before we go..." He says, before walking over to her and kissing her gently.
Her eyes slide shut and she kisses back, gripping his jacket with both hands. He pulls away a few moments after and leans his forehead against hers.
"Love you."
"Love you too." She steals another kiss.
Then she pulls away and they grab what they both need, before leaving and heading down to the car. I'm sitting on the bed, buckling my shoes when I feel a kiss on my shoulder.
"Hello to you too." I smile.
"Gorgeous as always." He says against my skin.
"Don't get too carried away with the affection already. We have all night."
Alex draws back and chuckles.
"Right."
After I finish the other shoe, I stand up straightening out my dress.
"Ready?" Alex asks.
"Yup." I say, grabbing my ring gear bag.
He grabs his own bag and we head out to the car. Once we're in the car, we head to the arena. We arrive just in time since Raw would be starting soon, and the Tough Enough winner would be chosen. We all make quick stops to the locker rooms so that me, Alex and Mike could drop off our bags. Then we head back to the curtain and watch the Tough Enough winner be chosen. Aly lays her head against Mike's arm as we wait. It was the middle of the conversation with Vince, Andy, Luke and Stone Cold.
"What makes you think you belong here?" Vince asks Luke.
"Because love me or hate me, you people will never forget me. I wanna create moments, I wanna create an experience, because this is what I love to bring it on."
"What sort of uh...social redeeming qualities or inner qualities that you have, that will captivate a global WWE audience?"
"I'm a best athlete to boot by far and away." Andy answers.
"Are you nervous?"
"No sir, because I already know I've won."
"Someone has just told me it's 9 o'clock and we're on the air on Monday Night Raw! Alright so with that in mind gentlemen, I've heard enough. Pretty much made up my mind before I came out here. I'm going to determine which one of you is gonna take a hike, and which one of you will receive a WWE contract. So in my opinion...why are you looking at me that way?"
Vince starts to say, but then asks Stone Cold that when he sees the look he's giving him.
"Did you just say you were gonna pick the Tough Enough champion? Is that what you just said?"
"Last I checked, I'm the Chairman of the WWE and I make all the really big decisions around here."
"I don't give a rat's ass if you're the chairman, you own this son of a bitch, you wear that stupid tie, that bullshit blue suit. It doesn't make a difference to me son, Tough Enough's my show and I'm the one who's gonna pick the damn winner not you. Did I make myself clear?"
"You wanna make a...you know what out of yourself, go ahead. Go ahead."
Stone Cold steps forward, and looks at both Andy and Luke for a while.
"Hang on a second, if I was doing this, I'd have a drumroll...if I was doing it." Vince interjects.
"You're a pretty dumb son of bitch, but a drumroll's a good idea. Can I get a drumroll please?"
The drumroll starts and Stone Cold looks over Andy and Luke for a while, before raising the mic to determine the winner.
"And the winner...of Tough Enough...because I said so...big Andy."
"Ugh." Aly scowls.
Luke looks discouraged and Stone Cold goes up and shakes his hand and talks to him while Andy celebrates. He gives up the Tough Enough title belt, before getting out of the ring.
"Big round of applause for Luke, good job kid you did a good job. With your newest employee, would you like to offer any words of congratulations or welcome this young man aboard the WWE ship?" Stone Cold says about Luke then asks Vince after the Tough Enough theme music fades.
"I'm not so sure I wouldn't have chosen the other guy but...welcome to the WWE." Vince says, before slapping Andy.
Stone Cold and Vince argue about what he just did, before Andy gets up and Stone Cold goes over to see if he's alright.
"Ladies and gentlemen, congratulations to the winner of Tough Enough, Big Andy from South Florida." He congratulates before giving Andy the Stunner.
"Welcome to the WWE you son of a bitch. Congratulations and that's the bottom line, 'cause Stone Cold said so!" He adds, as Andy rolls out of the ring.
We look amused.
"And here comes the beer." I laugh as we see the beer being thrown to Stone Cold.
"Always gotta have the beer."
Andy walks away as it's only Stone Cold and Vince in the ring. But Stone Cold's music fades to 'The Truth Shall Set You Free' and then some colonial music or something playing as Truth walks out wearing this wacky costume like he's in war or something.
"What the hell?"
"Oh good lord, what the hell is this whacko up to now?"
"Little Jimmy come marching home hoo-rah hoo-rah. Little Jimmy come marching home hoo-rah hoo-rah." He starts singing as he marches to the ring.
The faces of Vince and Stone Cold were priceless as Truth came marching down the ramp and into the ring.
"Pffft their faces!" I laugh.
Aly laughs too.
"Wha...I'm gonna get to why I'm dressed like this. You see I was told by the Raw general manager, that I have to apologize for what I did. That's the only way that I can keep..."
"Whoaaa wait. If you wanna apologize, let's show everyone why the Raw general manager wants you to apologize. Let's take a look."
The whole thing with Truth and the fan in the crowd last week was shown, before we're back in the ring.
"Thank you for reminding and showing everyone Mr. McMahon. I would like to take this time to say that I'm sorry. I'm a good R-Truth. I'm sorry to Big Jimmy, I'm sorry to Little Jimmy. I'm sorry to the soda that I wasted it on...it was refreshing. I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry."
"You 'ought to be sorry about dressing up like a damn jackass." Stone Cold comments.
"Ah see? I'll tell you why I'm dressed like this. See, I did my homework. I know where I'm at. I'm in Richmond, Virginia. The capital of the confederacy. You see this is where Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee and a bunch of other inbred rednecks just like all of you...don't boo me you should be booing yourselves! This would inform the confederate states of america."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"That was about 150 years ago, what's that got to do with today?"
"Well I'm aware that nothing...nothing good came out of the south. The confederacy...they did have one good idea...succession. You see the confederacy succeeded from the United States. So tonight, R-Truth is succeeding from the WWE Universe."
"This is BORING."
We watch more and more, becoming more bored by the second.
"I'm going out there soon, you coming with me or no?" Mike asks.
"Sure why not." Aly shrugs.
"Okay, we'll see you two out there." Mike says, as she takes his arm and heads into the curtained area to wait.
As their waiting, she squeezes Mike's arm and reaches up to kiss his cheek.
"Love you."
"Love you too." He says, before his music plays and he grabs his special mic and they both walk out.
"Really? Really? Really? Really? R-Truth, you have the chairman of the company out here and you're gonna talk about your made up conspiracy?" Mike says, as they both walk down the ramp.
"Well I deal in reality, and the reality is...if it wasn't for my inept, insubordinate and indiotic ex-protege Alex Riley...I would still be WWE Champion." Mike continues as they both get into the ring.
Alex and I head into the curtained area since he was coming out soon.
"The past two weeks of cheap shots from that ungrateful nobody, doesn't take away the fact that I am the most must see champion in WWE history. And I know, and everybody else knows that I deserve once last championship match."
And that's when Alex's music was played and we walk out next. We stop at the top of the ramp, and Mike starts backing away behind Vince and Truth, bringing Aly with him. We walk down the ramp and get into the ring, after Alex grabs a mic and his music fades.
"Miz, the only thing you deserve...is a third straight week of beatdowns." Alex says amusedly.
"Oh you're big time now. You've done two things your entire career and now you're all big? You wanna be a big man and..." Mike starts arguing with Alex.
Aly and I step off to the side, not really sure who to support here. That's when John's music played and they stopped arguing and we all looked over to the entrance to see him walk out and down the ramp, walking around to get a mic and then getting into the ring.
"Easy easy easy, hold on, hold the phone! Wait wait wait! Hold on!"
We both scowl.
"I know I know. A lot has happened so I'll kind of bring you guys up to speed and give you a quick recap. Mr. McMahon, he's out of patience. Miz is out of excuses. A-Ry, well he's out for vengeance. Steve Austin is almost out of beer, and R-Truth is out of his mind. Okay so we skip the gaga and go straight to the facts. Miz, not only did you lose to me but I made you say 'I quit' repeatedly. Now I'm no general manager, but you will NOT get a rematch for the WWE Championship...stop being a jackwagon and get over yourself."
Aly rolls her eyes.
"Jackwagon, really?" Mike says, only audible for us to hear since we're around him.
"Apparently."
"Alex Riley...A-Ry. I don't like you, I don't trust you, but the past two weeks you've actually showed me you got a set when you manned up and punched this human piece of garbage repeatedly in the face." John says, referring to Mike.
I put a hand on Aly's arm to calm her as she growls quietly.
"And sir for that I commend you. Which leads me to R-Truth. Where do I start? Uh...you know what? Where'd you get that...no don't even answer that...because when I take a look at you..honestly when I stop and drink all this in, I look at the brightest bulb on the christmas tree. I see a guy who's really got his head together. There is no possible way a guy looking like you, acting like you has any sort of mental issue at all. Sharp as a tack you are."
"Listen...take the ridiculous outfit off, do everybody a favor. You already apologized, you got your match at Capitol Punishment in our nation's capital, Washington DC to go one on one for the WWE Championship against me." John finishes and that's when the GM chimed in.
We sigh and roll our eyes.
"Kentucky long rifle! What is it? An email?"
"Can I have you attention please? I've just received an email from the anonymous Raw general manager." Cole announces like he always does.
"Michael Cole...SHUT UP!" Vince demands.
The two of us snicker lightly.
"I've got this one. Considering it's a special Monday Night Raw and we're in Richmond, Virginia..how about...how about for a main event tonight we see the tag team match of R-Truth and his partner Miz against Alex Riley and his partner John Cena!"
"Oh great." Aly mumbles.
"Whoaaa and just uh one other thing. The special guest referee is Stone Cold Steve Austin."
"Oh even better." Aly says sarcastically.
Vince leaves the ring, and then Mike and Alex start arguing with each other, then Alex and John argue a bit. Then while Stone Cold mocks John with the 'you can't see me' hand motion, Alex goes back to arguing with Mike. We both sigh.
"Wanna leave them here to argue and head back?" I ask Aly.
"Yeah." She nods in agreement.
We get out of the ring on the side we're on, and then walk around the ring and head up the ramp. Once the guys see us start heading back, they go back to arguing again. We get backstage, and wait for them where we were waiting before we all went out there. Aly leans against the wall, rubbing her stomach. Eventually they do come back, but seperately to make the feud between them believable.
"Back to the room now?" She asks, covering her mouth afterwards as she yawns.
"You and Mike can go ahead, I have to change for my match since it's the 2nd one of the night. Tagging with Kelly again...going against the Bellas...again."
"Have fun. Bet their hair is still blue and pink." Aly snickers.
"I hope so, I'm gonna laugh so hard."
"Tell them I said hi." She smirks evilly.
"Will do."
"Good luck with your match."
"Thanks."
Mike says the same and puts an arm around her, kissing the top of her head as they walk back to the room.
"Alright you, let's go." I laugh, grabbing Alex's hand and we walk down the hall to the locker room.
He chuckles and slides his fingers between mine.
"So I'm guessing that you don't want me out there for your match tonight right?" I ask.
"It's better if you don't. That match could get ugly."
"I figured as much."
"If Truth and Cena weren't in the match, I'd let you but you know those two are unpredictable."
"Especially Truth...the whack job he is. All I'm saying is that John better cooperate with you tonight. I know Aly can't forgive him as easily as I can since everything is done between him and Mike, and him and you...but still."
"Yeah."
Then we stop when we get to the locker room.
"You know, the first match is Santino against McGillicutty. That match can go on for a long time. You don't have to get ready just yet..."
"You just want to be affectionate."
"Yeah...and?"
"I'm okay with that." I laugh.
"Good." He grins, then moves forward which of course makes me back up and lean against the wall.
"What is it with you and walls?" I ask curiously.
"Keeps you from getting away." He chuckles.
"Why would I want to get away?"
"To be sneaky?"
"Not this time."
Alex braces his hands on either side of me and presses his lips to mine. I reach up and grip his shirt in my hands, using it to pull him closer. This causes him to lean on his forearms, against the wall. One of my hands lets go of his shirt and slides up into his hair. I grip his hair gently as he starts to deepen the kiss. My other hand makes its way up into his hair as well. Then that hand grips his hair too, and I pull him as close as I could get him to be. I feel him chuckle lightly. Then I move one of my hands down to his shirt, and since it's thin enough I drag my fingers across his abs through the shirt. I feel his body tense up and a quiet growl rumbles in his chest.
"What have I told you about that?" He says, breaking the kiss briefly.
I smirk.
"My bad."
"Right..."
"You're gonna pay for that you know."
"I know."
"Bring it on." I laugh.
"Later. You have a match soon."
"Aww darn."
"You'll survive."
"Well if I have to get ready, you have to move."
Alex gives me a short kiss and moves away. Then I move and head into the locker room to change. I walk out and smile as Alex looks me over as he always does. Then he walks me down to the curtain so that I could wait with Kelly for us to go out for our match. He decides to stay and watch my match from there. After a while of waiting, Kelly and I go out to her music, posing on the stage and then going down the ramp and getting into the ring. Of course once we were in the ring, we went to a commercial. When we came back they showed what happened between Kharma and the Bellas last Monday, before going back to the ring where Kelly and I were. Kelly and I were talking about what happened last week, before the Bella's music played. They came out wearing semi-bright purple ring attire, and they did their usual ring entrance and whatever. After their music faded the bell rang and we decided that Kelly would go first against Brie.
They lock up for a second before Kelly twists Brie's arm and then she reverses it. They get over to one of the corners and Kelly climbs up onto the top rope, bouncing off and flipping, then sending Brie flipping over and flying, which causes her to let Kelly go. Brie and Kelly get up and then Kelly jumps on Brie, bending backwards and flipping her over again. She's now throwing punches as she sits on Brie. She reaches back and grabs her leg, resulting in a pin attempt. Brie kicks out of course. Kelly walks over to her, but she picks Kelly up and drops her stomach first onto the top rope and she bounces off, laying back on the mat. Brien brings Kelly over to the corner by Nikki and then Nikki tags herself in. They work together and throw her into the corner, and then Brie gets out of the ring. Nikki kicks her once and then tags in Brie. I on the otherhand am trying to get Kelly amped up to fight back and hopefully tag me in. But of course the Bellas tag again and it's Nikki in the ring again. She places Kelly in the ropes and pushes down on the back of her neck, making her throat press against the middle rope, and then Brie gets tagged in again.
She jumps up and knees Kelly in the back, making her roll away a little. She starts mocking Kelly and then goes for a pin attempt, but Kelly kicks out. She picks Kelly up and gets her in a type of submission move, and keeps the pressure on her back. But Kelly gets up and reverses the hold, and throws Brie over by me and I'm reaching for Kelly to tag me in. Brie goes to hit Kelly but misses and Kelly gets the tag to me. I rush in and as Brie comes towards me I clothesline her a couple times before picking her up and dropping her on her back. She slowly gets up, and that's when I grab her again and supplex her back onto the mat. I go for the pin, but before she could kick out, Nikki rushed in and stopped the pin by hitting me hard in the back. Kelly comes in and grabs Nikki by the head and slams her face into the mat, before following her outside the ring. I'm recovering from the hard hit to my back and so is Brie. We both get up and at the last minute I do a roundhouse kick which knocks her to the ground. But just for good measure, I pick her up and get her on my shoulders and give her Alex's finisher that I've been using lately. I go for the pin, and I do indeed get it, winning the match for me and Kelly. Alex grins proudly backstage.
Kelly and I hug and then our hands are raised. Nikki helps Brie out of the ring since she obviously can't get out by herself at the moment. They of course walk backwards up the ramp angrily as always once Brie comes to. The next commercial break comes up after two matchups of the night are shown. I'm handed back the title, and then Kelly and I get out of the ring and head back up the ramp and backstage.
"Good match babe." Alex says as I reach him.
"Thank you." I smile, kissing him quickly.
"You're welcome." He replies and drapes an arm across my shoulders as the two of us walk back towards the locker room.
"Is your back okay? I mean I saw you favoring it a little out there." He adds.
"Some ice and I'll be fine."
"Okay, well I'll go get the ice. You go in and get changed." He says once we reach the locker room.
"Alright." I agree and he steals a short kiss before I go inside.
After I walk in I happen to notice the Twins in there too. But I pay no attention to them as I go back over to my things to change. I hear them hissing to each other quietly. I just roll my eyes, because that's all they do is talk about everyone else, and I start taking the glove and the fishnet sleeve of my ring gear off. Finally there's a mad huff and footsteps coming up behind me.
"Here we go..." I mutter to myself quietly.
"Whatever it is you have to say exactly, tell it to someone who actually cares." I add without turning around.
"Because I don't." I finish.
"What was that out there huh?" Nikki asks.
"Uh I believe it's called winning...duh." I retort.
"You could've hurt Brie!" She says angrily.
"Yeah...and? Anybody can get hurt in these matches, we all knew that when we signed our contracts."
"Plus you two don't play fair anyway. You cheat and I've been putting a stop to that for weeks now. As long as you're around me, your so called 'Twin Magic' will no longer happen." I add.
"Nice hair colors by the way." I smirk.
"Haha very funny."
"It's extremely funny. I would've chosen more obnoxious colors like orange or something."
They get even more angry at the reminder of me spraying Brie's hair a few weeks ago."
"Oh wait that's right, I already did. Now if you excuse me, I have to change." I add, waving them off.
Nikki spins me around and goes to smack me. I grab her wrist just in time to stop her.
"I don't think so..." I say, before twisting her arm and flipping her, making her land on her back on the floor.
Brie flips out and storms over. I hold her back and she starts swinging, but can't reach me. I yawn and laugh to myself. I then knee her in the gut and wrap an arm around her neck, bringing her over to the door. I open the door and let her go, then kick her out. Nikki got up and I saw out of the corner of my eye that she was coming. So when she charged at me, I moved out of the way so she ended up charging out of the room. Brie gets up at this point and then Nikki ends up hitting her and they both go down to the floor.
"Nice try." I laugh and shut the door.
"Finally some peace." I say to myself and go back to getting changed.
I come out with my bag and find the Twins gone and Alex waiting for me. He hands me the ice, and I hold it on the spot on my back where it was hurting.
"Thank you."
"What do you mean?"
"Nikki and Brie...enough said right there."
"I'll be okay though, no need to worry."
"Alright."
Then we head back to the room, and after we get there we walk in Alex puts my bag down. I sit right down on the couch, resting against the ice bag, and he sits down next to me.
"Your back okay?" Mike asks, lightly shifting Aly in his arms and we realize that she's fallen asleep.
"Yeah it's fine, nothing the ice can't fix."
"Good."
"She must be really tired huh?"
"Yeah." Mike nods, looking down at her.
After the commercial we see Booker T and Trish Stratus backstage talking about Andy winning Tough Enough, and Booker wants to show Trish how to do his secret move. As she's goes to try it, we hear the all too familar lispy voice and see him too.
"Well isn't it the mighty Tough Enough trainers. Look at you two. Hey how's it going?" He says, looking at Trish.
"Ew, he's hitting on her."
Alex and Mike scoff, shaking their heads.
"Hello Jack Swagger." Trish replies.
"You know if the All American American was a Tough Enough trainer, every single one of those competitors would be a winner."
"Oh yeah?"
"Not just one. Book you looking at me right now. You know what Book? I'm not so sure you're tough enough. Would you get in the ring with the all american american american? You if you think you still got it."
"He's sooo asking for it."
"Yeah."
"You didn't say that. Tell me...he didn't just say that. I accept the challenge alright? Let me tell you something. After this is all over with you won't be running around like a goofball doing some victory lap. You're gonna be asking yourself one question."
"And what's that?"
"Can you dig it...sucka'. Now back up off me dog."
"Okay..it's on." Swagger says, backing away.
"Stupid Lispy." I shake my head.
Then Punk's music plays and we see him walk out onto the stage and sit down at the top of the ramp with Mason Ryan next to him.
"Oh jeez, what does this psycho have to say now?"
"You know for those keeping score at home, last week I defeated Rey Mysterio."
"So what do you want? A freaking award? Who cares."
The boys roll their eyes.
"Bringing the grand total of times that I've defeated Rey Mysterio to I...I don't know, what would you say..it's well over 600. Rey has never defeated me, so like he always does, he cries and he moans and he petitions for a rematch. Which I gladly grant him here tonight, one more time, and I'm gonna beat Rey Mysterio again. Not...not to satiate my ego, not...not for my own entertainment, but to prove to all of you that the power of my new Nexus is unyielding. That our collective faith is undying. So please ladies and gentlemen, join me in dismantling Rey Mysterio."
"How about I don't and say I did?"
"How about we don't and laugh at him when he loses?" Alex says.
"Which will probably happen."
"Exactly."
The match was long, and in the end Rey did end up winning. Punk started having a hissy fit in the middle of the ring as Rey walked up the ramp.
"Haha you lose, just like we said."
Alex snickers and Mike looks amused. After the replay of the match, another Capitol Punishment promo was played involving the president and this time R-Truth.
"Oh god, not the whacko."
"Good morning Mr. President, you look nice today. Can I ask you a few questions? What if I told you that I waited my whole entire life for a WWE Championship match, and I never got it because of a conspiracy? Now how do you think that would make me feel?"
"You'd be pretty irritated. Uh, and rightfully so."
"Exactly. So with all that irritation and all that anger bottled up inside of me, I'm gonna take it out on John Cena at Capitol Punishment, and he's gonna need some help. Maybe you should help him for the night Mr. President. What do you think about that?"
"He seems to be doing just fine on his own."
"I hear people saying that you'll be the first in line to get a title shot before I do."
"This is not a matter of you go first or I go first. This is a matter of everybody uh...having a serious conversation about where we want to go, and ultimately getting in that boat at the same time so it doesn't tip over."
"Boat? I ain't talking about no boat. Little Jimmy got a boat. I ain't got no boat. I ain't getting in no boat with you Obama. I don't even like boats, and you're probably trying to push me out of the boat."
"Boats? Really?"
By this time what ice was in the bag had melted, but my back had still hurt.
"Alex? You think you can go get me more ice? The pain still isn't gone yet, and all the ice you gave me is melted now."
"Yeah sure." He says and gets up.
"Thanks." I smile at him as he walks over to the door to leave.
"You need anything?" He asks Mike while opening the door.
"Nah, I'm all set."
Alex nods and walks out. After that weird promo for Capitol Punishment, if like waves out to backstage and we see John talking to Alex.
"Well that's just great." I sigh.
"Hey at least you aren't there with him." Mike points out.
"If I was with him, I don't think he would bother talking to Alex. He knows how I feel towards him no matter if I'm there or not."
"True..."
"Hey, I don't f..." John goes to say but is cut off by Alex.
"My only concern is The Miz."
"You cost me this WWE Championship on more than one occasion, and I don't forget that. Tonight you're supposed to be my partner? Something's up. Listen, I'll fight with you tonight, but if you leave me hanging out to dry..." John trails off, shaking his head before walking off.
I roll my eyes.
"Like he would really have a choice in doing that anyway..." I say to myself.
I sit there and try to rest the best I can during the commercial break, waiting for Alex to bring back more ice. John stopping him to talk about the match didn't help getting the ice back to me any quicker. He finally comes back just as Raw came back on the air and Del Rio was coming out in one of his fancy cars as usual.
"Stupid Dorito." I scoff.
Alex sits and hands me the ice.
"Thanks." I kiss his cheek.
I once again lean back against the ice bag and try to relax while having to listen to the stupid Dorito talk. I manage to lean my head on Alex's shoulder and try to ignore Dorito now that he's being annoying as all hell. Alex distracts me as much as he can without being too PDA-ish. It works, because before we know it, it's time for the next match. I glance over and see Zack in the ring with Vickie and Dolph.
"Oooh, got to watch this match for sure." I say, picking my head up and keeping my eyes on the screen.
Aly starts to stir in Mike's arms. He looks down to see her now opening her eyes.
"Hey, you're awake." He smiles.
"Mmm.."
Then she looks at the screen.
"Hey it's Shortbus." She mumbles sleepily.
"Yeah, you woke up just in time to see his match." I add.
"Cool."
"How was the long nap?" Mike asks.
"Mmm...good. You're a fantastic pillow."
"I know." He grins.
"I almost want to go back to sleep but I know if I do then I won't be able to sleep tonight."
"Right, but it's your choice. I know you're gonna be tired a lot now."
"I know." She sighs.
"But I still think I'm gonna stay awake for the rest of the show." She adds.
"Alright." Mike agrees.
Then she turns her attention back to the screen, and we all watch Zack's match. He was doing pretty good too, until the end and Kofi ended up beating him and winning the match.
"Awww."
"Poor Zack, he was doing good!"
"I know! Boooo."
"Stupid creative."
"Eh, at least he was on Raw this time in a match."
"Yeah."
"Well I think I should be getting ready for that match soon" Mike comments.
"Awww...I gotta move."
"Sorry. The match is coming up and I need to get ready."
"I know." She sighs, sliding off his lap.
"I should get going too." Alex adds, getting up himself.
"Dang." I pout.
He gives me a short kiss.
"I'll see you after the match okay?"
"Yeah. Good luck." I reply.
He nods, before heading out the door to the locker room. Mike follows him out, after giving Aly a quick kiss as well.
"Booo...I don't want to watch this." Aly makes a face, stretching out and trying to get comfortable.
"Well it's after Swagger's match. He challenged Booker T to a match tonight. But that shouldn't last very long anyway."
"Well I don't want to watch that either but I was meaning Mike and Alex's match."
Of course before the Swagger vs Booker T match could start, we see another matchup for Capitol Punishment. This one is gonna be hard to deal with. It indeed is Alex against Mike.
"Oh no..."
"Oh god..."
"That's not gonna be good..."
She shakes her head and bites her lip. Then the Swagger match starts, and in the end Evan gets involved, which causes Lispy to get beat up by Booker T and then Evan.
"Haha in your face."
"Hah."
After Evan and Booker T were done celebrating in the ring, the cameras switch to backstage and there's Stone Cold walking through the halls to the ramp for the main event of the night.
"Oh boy, here we go."
Aly sighs.
"I don't like watching them fight." She frowns, rubbing her stomach.
"If they even do. You never know. Mike might run from him."
"He probably will but you know they'll have to fight at some point."
"I know...and I don't want to see it either."
"You know, if we weren't around, they'd probably be seriously fighting and pissed at each other."
"And we still wouldn't like it."
"No, but at least we're here and were able to help them stay friends."
"Thank god for that."
She nods. After the commercial break, Stone Cold walked out and down to the ring posing on the turnbuckles before leaning in one of the corners as Mike's music hit and he walked out and down the ramp. Stone Cold had a look on his face of not being amused or something. Then while Mike was getting into the ring, Truth came out to his voice like always. Again they played the footage betweet Truth and the guy in the audience last week. Then while Mike and him were talking, Alex's music hit and we notice that they botched his entrance stuff. They were showing half of John's stuff with Alex's music and tron video.
"Oops."
They eventually fixed it as he started walking down the ramp. Then they replayed the footage from last Monday between Mike and Alex again, before going back to the ring and Alex walked down to the end of the ramp and waited as John's music played.
"Ugh." Aly scowls as John comes out.
He slides into the ring after getting down to the ring, and Alex slides in as well, and we go to a commercial. After the commercial the bell rings and it starts off with Mike and John. They lock up and Mike gets a takeover on John, holding him down on the mat. But John got out of the hold and he grabbed Mike's arm, twisting it as they both get up. Alex is reaching out for the tag as John pulls Mike over to him. He twists Mike's arm again and looks at Alex who is yelling 'come on' at him for the tag. John tags him in and that's when Mike bolts and tags in Truth, sliding out of the ring as Alex gets in. It's now Alex against Truth and they circle each other a couple times before Truth says 'what's up'. They lock up and Truth twists Alex's arm behind him, but Alex reverses and Truth pushes him against the ropes making him let go. Alex comes back and Truth ducks away from the punch, then when Alex comes back again, Truth flips Alex over with one arm. He goes for the pin, but Alex kicks out. Truth flips Alex over again and has him on the mat now, with his arm around his neck. Alex gets up and pushes Truth against the ropes, sending him running, but gets shoulderblocked instantly.
Truth does a little dance and goes against the ropes, but Alex recovers and flips Truth over with one arm. Then he drops him, before going for the pin and then Truth kicks out. Alex twists his arm and looks over at John for the tag. Truth pulls away, but Alex pulls back and tags John in. Truth gets away like Mike did and he went over and tagged him in. Mike goes right for John, but John ducks and starts punching Mike repeatedly until he gets in the corner. He takes him and sends him flying into the opposite corner, and when he bounces back he grabs the back of Mike's head and slams his face into the mat. He rushes over and tags in Alex, but Mike rolls out of the ring and starts running away from Alex as he follows him. They go around the ring until Mike slides back in and out, and then Alex is hit by Truth. Stone Cold starts arguing with Truth and the screen fades to a commercial as Truth starts throwing punches on Alex.
After the commercial it has finally come to Alex and Mike in the ring. Mike had him in a headlock and on the mat, and it stayed like that for a while until Alex started to get up. After he got up, He hit Mike to make him let go. He hit him again, before Mike came back and pushed him into the corner by Truth. But Alex fired back by first elbowing Truth, then hitting Mike, and elbowing Truth again. The last hit to Mike made him stumble away and when Alex went to go towards him, Mike kicked him in the gut. Mike kicks his leg and the grabs him by the neck and delivers a DDT, planting Alex face first into the mat. He goes for the pin, but Alex kicks out. Alex starts reaching to tag in John while Mike gets up, and then he kicks Alex in the back preventing him from tagging John in at all. Alex rolls away and Mike follows, then stomps on him. He gets into the corner and Mike keeps kicking him, until Stone Cold counts to 5 and has to pull Mike away, and boy did he pull him away. Then they started arguing with Stone Cold telling him that he would've been disqualified if he didn't back off. Then Mike retorts back saying that he don't tell him what to do and everything. He backs away from Stone Cold and goes back over to Alex. He backs up a little ways and runs towards him, but Alex moves and Mike hits the ring post shoulder first.
Alex starts reaching for John and Mike reaches for Truth. It looks like Alex is gonna tag in John, but Mike tags in Truth before him and Truth stops the tag from happening. Truth keeps going after Alex, and a 'Cena' chant breaks out. Alex rolls into the corner and Truth keeps throwing punches, before Stone Cold breaks him away. Truth backs away and then runs toward Alex, hitting him with a knee. Truth does one more move on Alex and then goes to the corner nearest to him. That's when a chant for Alex breaks out, and Truth climbs the corner. Truth jumps off and Alex lifts his feet up in the air, hitting Truth in the jaw. He staggers a bit and then falls, and then he and Alex both start reaching for Mike and John for the tag. Alex gets to John and Truth gets to Mike. And of course John is fired up and he goes nonstop, up to his signature move. He gets Mike on his shoulders for the AA, but Truth comes in and stops it. Aly sighs a little in relief. Mike stumbles away and Truth runs at John, only to be thrown over the top rope to the floor. Mike goes after John and he trips him, getting him in the STF.
"Damn." Aly curses.
Mike starts crawling and reaching, finally grabbing the bottom rope, causing John to let go. Stone Cold argues with John a bit, before Truth sneaks in with a steel chair, and goes to hit John but misses which results in John dropkicking Truth with the chair still in his hands. Then Mike gets up and he and John have the same idea and they end up clotheslining each other.
"Ouch." Aly and I both cringe.
Mike and John are both down, crawling around trying to attempt to get up. That's when we see Alex crawling into the ring with the briefcase that he used to always carry around when Mike had the WWE Championship.
"What is he doing?"
"Please don't hit Mike with that..."
After getting into the ring with the briefcase in his hand, he stands up looking at John, before getting ready to hit him with it, or so it looks like. We see him look over at Mike and smile as John gets up, and then runs and hits Mike with the briefcase.
"Damn it Alex!" Aly cringes.
Mike stumbles forward as Alex backs up into the corner, and then he gets the stunner from Stone Cold, followed by the AA from John, and John gets the pin to win the match for him and Alex.
"Mike'll be hurting for sure." Aly sighs.
Stone Cold raises Alex and John's hands in victory as John's music plays. The Stone Cold goes over to the corner and the beer is thrown to him again. Alex gets out of the ring and Stone Cold waits for a moment before throwing one of the cans of beer to him, and then the other one. He opens one of them while John and Stone Cold celebrate in the ring, and Alex raises the open can before drinking some and turning around to head backstage. It's not too long after the celebrating that the GM chimes in.
"Ohhh what now?"
"Bet you the GM reverses the win." Aly points out.
"Can I have your attention please, I've receieved an email from the anonymous Raw general manager. And I quote. The referee has blantantly overstepped his authority, by physically interfering in this match. Therefore John Cena and Alex Riley have been disqualified."
"Told you."
"And the winners of the match are the Miz and R-Truth." Cole finishes, and we see Mike and Truth on the ramp happy that they have won the match now.
But the GM chimes in yet again.
"Oh my god."
"What now?"
"And I quote Mr. Austin, before you do something drastic that you might later regret. Next week on the 3-hour WWE All Star night, I'm appointing you as the special guest general manager."
"Oh jeez."
Then Stone Cold climbs out of the ring, and grabs one of the mics off of the top of the little podium that Cole stands on to read the GM messages.
"Now that you got all the official BS out of the way..." He says, grabbing the computer and throwing it to the ground, and then tipping over the podium.
"...if you want Stone Cold to be the GM next week give me a hell yeah." He finishes, grabbing Cole by the collar of his shirt and suit jacket.
"I hope he pours beer on Cole again, that was great."
"Haha yes it was."
"I said give me a hell yeah!"
Then he hits Cole and throws him into the ring, before getting in himself. He puts his hand up for the beers again, and he's thrown a couple cans. He opens then and then indeed pours them all over Cole again. We both start laughing. Then he picks Cole up and gives him the Stunner, and John shrugs with one beer in his hand and gives Cole the AA. He and Stone Cold celebrate with more beers in the ring, before Stone Cold gets out and gets another mic and is thrown another beer. He gets back into the ring and leans down to Cole as he's sputtering and whatnot.
"If you're ready for Raw next week give me a hell yeah. Michael Cole you little meely mouth bastard, I'll see you firsthand next week on Monday Night Raw. And that's the bottom line 'cause Stone Cold said so."
"Nice."
The celebration goes on until the screen fades out for the end of the show.
"Well that was funny."
"Yeah."
"And now we have to wait to leave."
"Mmhmm." She sighs and lays back into the cushions, rubbing her stomach again.
After a while, Mike came back first looking a little beat up from what he just endured out in the ring. Aly sits up and scooches back, pointing in front of her. Mike drops onto the couch after setting his back down and she starts to massage his back and shoulders. While she was busy doing that, I stretch out on the couch. My back feels a whole lot better now, and the ice has melted, so I placed the bag on the table behind me and just started to play with my rings as I wait for Alex to come back. Finally the door pops open and Alex walks in. Since Aly is still busy with Mike and we're probably not leaving anytime soon, Alex walks over and sets his bag down before moving my legs to sit down on the couch, and then I drape them over his lap.
"Feeling better?" He asks me.
"Much better."
"Good." He smiles.
He leans over to kiss me and I stop him with two fingers to his lips.
"Uh no. You drank beer, you're not kissing me."
"Aww come on."
"Nope. You brush your teeth first, and maybe take a shower and then you can kiss me."
Alex sulks.
"Should've thought about that before drinking the beer...sorry."
Aly giggles quietly.
"...denied..." Aly says quietly, still giggling.
Alex scowls at her and she just laughs.
"She's right you know...sorry DC."
She pokes Mike gently.
"That'll go for you too, you don't drink beer and then try to kiss me. Its not going to happen."
"I know I know."
She places a kiss on the back of his neck.
"Feel better now?"
"A lot better, thank you."
"You're welcome."
"So are we all set to get out of here?" He asks.
"Yup."
We all get up and grab our things, before heading out and to the car. After we all get into the car, we head back to the hotel for the night. Once we get to the hotel, we go up to our floor and into our rooms after saying our goodnights to each other. Alex and I get inside our room and drop our bags.
"Go shower and brush your teeth and then you can have a kiss." I push on Alex.
"Okay okay...pushy." He chuckles.
He grabs his change of clothes and goes into the bathroom. In the meantime I grab clothes to change into, and after I change I climb into bed and sit there and read one of the many books I have with me. After a bit I hear the water shut off and Alex steps out a few minutes later. He puts the dirty clothes away and gets into bed, sliding over really close to me. I see him sliding over really close to me out of the corner of my eyes, and I laugh to myself while trying to at least finish reading the page I was on. He starts to kiss his way up my shoulder and neck. He then reaches over and grabs the book, closing it and placing it on the table next to the bed on his side.
"I wasn't done with the page yet..."
"Read another time."
"Oh fine." I smile, and then surprise him by pressing my lips to his since he had pulled away from my neck for a moment.
Alex cups my face with one hand and then slides it back into my hair. He takes his other arm and wraps it around me, then suddenly pulls me closer to him, and somehow I end up laying on him. He deepens the kiss, sliding one hand up and down my back while the other stays tangled in my hair. I make a tiny noise as he deepens the kiss, and I grip onto his sides a little tighter than before. He decides not to go after the spot on my neck, but breaks away from my lips to trail kisses up to my ear and back down my jawline. He kisses my lips one last time for a few moments, before breaking away and I lean my forehead against his.
"Love you."
"Love you too." I smile.
I move my head over to his shoulder and snuggle into him.
"I'm pretty content on sleeping like this..." I mumble into his shoulder.
"Fine with me." He chuckles.
"I'll get the light." I say, reaching over and turning it off.
"Night."
"Night babe."
Then in Aly and Mike's room, she's sitting in bed waiting for him since he's taking a shower to relax more before he actually goes to sleep. She has a thing of lotion sitting by her hip as she rubs some of it into her skin, humming quietly. Soon she hears the water shut off and a few minutes later he walks out and places his clothes with his things, before climbing into bed next to her.
"Feel better?" She asks, rubbing lotion onto her leg.
"Extremely better now." He grins, leaning over and kissing her cheek.
She leans into his touch and smiles.
"Good."
"How're you feeling?" He asks.
"Tired mostly."
"Well that's expected."
"I know."
"We'll have the rest of the week off. Well besides the commercial shoot tomorrow and the E3 game convention wednesday, and a show in Syracuse Friday night."
"Ah."
"So it's not much traveling to worry about."
"Right. Dolce and I also have a dress fitting, and I'm probably going to have to do some shopping too. Victoria's Secret at the very least, the girls aren't fitting into things very well." She comments, looking down at her chest and making a face.
"That's normal right?"
"Yes and it's going to continue too, which I know you love. They say it's usually a cup size or two, especially if it's your first baby."
"Ah. And I can't come with you shopping?"
"You just want to go in that store."
"Mayyybe."
She laughs and puts her lotion on the nightstand before looking at him.
"I don't know if it's a good idea for you to go in that store with me. I'd come out with more things than I need."
"And that's a bad thing?"
"You spoil me too much."
"You know what I'm gonna say to that."
"I know, I know. I don't know though. Are you seriously wanting to?"
"Of course...you know me."
She laughs as he pulls her flush up against him.
"Right. If you go with me, you have to behave."
"I promise."
"I'm not convinced..."
"I'll behave...seriously. Just don't expect me to control my thoughts."
"...or my actions once we leave." She hears him mumble under his breath, and she laughs.
"I'm not sure you really want to go, maybe I need to be convinced." She teases.
"I'll show you convincing..." He trails off, before immediately pressing his lips to hers in an intense kiss.
She's startled at first since she wasn't expecting that quick of a response but she settles down and responds to his kiss. He rests one hand on the side of her neck, while the other is resting on her leg. She runs her hands down his chest and abs before laying them on the indents on his hips. Just like the other time where she discovered that was a sensitive spot for him, he shivers slightly. She keeps tracing them, even as he squeezes her thigh which causes her to make a quiet noise. He thent akes that hand and slides it up and around to her back and moves it up and down. Her response starts to slow down, his soothing motions making her relax and feel sleepy. He feels this happening, and he pulls away from her lips and looks down at her.
"I think it's time we go to sleep now. You look like you're about to fall asleep anyway."
"...your fault..."
"You were tired to begin with..."
"You made it worse by rubbing my back like that." She mumbles as he moves and gets them comfortable.
"...sorry."
"S'okay. You can make it up to me tomorrow."
"And I will." He nods, kissing her forehead.
"Love you."
"Love you too"
