Tonight we have a house show, and we're in Syracuse New York. Mike left early to go to the gym, and you were still sleeping. Alex and I were already up, and for some odd reason he had me go onto my computer and go to this radio station's website for something.
"So what's this for exactly?"
"I'm calling into a radio station to do an interview. If you wanna hear what they're asking me, you should listen live on their website."
"Oh ok."
It was getting down to the time where Alex had to call in for the interview. When he did, he told me that he was to make a welcome message, so I just nod and sit there listening to him and the radio station site.
"Uh hey this is Alex Riley from the WWE. If it rocks, it's on 95X."
Then the little radio intro itself played before the djs talked.
"Alex."
"Alex what's up buddy?"
"Good morning guys, how're you doing?" Alex asks.
"Dude how are you uh...I got to tell you...just starting out, huge fan of the Miz. Uh..without question..."
"Right...I'm gonna hang up the phone right now."
I just laugh and shake my head.
"I'm gonna say it one more time...huge fan of the Miz, he's from Cleveland Ohio, so I got to represent."
"Okay okay, I'm sure you're a huge LeBron James fan as well the huh?"
"I'm a huge LeBron James fan..."
"Unfortunately he is yes..."
"He took it away from us Alex, he completely took it away. I hope the Heat fall buddy. So hey you're gonna be coming to Syracuse coming up here on Friday."
I just shake my head because I don't think they realize it is Friday.
"My kids are absolute fanatics."
"They're nuts for this stuff."
"I mean it's..."
"Oh great." Alex says.
"He's seven years old and he's learned every move. He probably has a billion questions he'd want to ask you personally uh but...uh it's been really great to see you guys come back. You did something in the dome I think about a year ago, but you're coming back to the War Memorial. So we'll just start there man, what're we gonna see this Friday night?"
Again, I shake my head because it is Friday.
"Uh well uh me and Miz got this good feud going here. He fired me, he's pushing me around and kind of...you know I was working for the guy for about a year and taking abuse, and I've had enough you know? And uh...I'm getting an opportunity here to...he fired me from my contract but the general manager rehired me on Raw so I got an opportunity to uh...do what I think everybody in America would love to do. And that's uh...kick their boss' butt. And I get to do it in front of 10,000 people."
"And I get paid for it, so my life is pretty good." Alex adds.
"Alex I gotta ask you about that, 'cause I know the Miz can be very dismissive towards you, uh...very abusive. And like I said you know, or you said uh..coming out you were always there for him, always you know kinda helping him out when he needed help. And kinda helping him get wins and stuff like that. How does that feel when somebody just keeps dogging you like that day after day after day?"
"Well it doesn't feel good you know it a uh...it's a feeling I don't think anyone likes to experience, but you're caught in a tough spot where I did work for the guy. I finished 3rd place on NXT, this uh...this reality show that they had me doing. And I didn't have a WWE contract, and he came to me and he said 'well you know you can work for me, and it would be an opportunity to learn the business'. The thing about me and the Miz is that he did teach me a lot about the business, and he did help me progress and all that. But when somebody's insulting you on national Tv, it's hard to deal with you know? And you...you uh tend to build up some resentment and uh..you know there is a very friendly rivalry at times that has turned unfriendly at this point. So it's a good...it's a great story you know and I'm uh...it's kind of a big brother, little brother thing. And we're gonna find out who's tougher you know? I'm 250 pounds and 6'4, so I can't imagine having much trouble with the Miz, but you know he's always got tricks up his sleeve."
"What have you learned from the Miz, if there is anything positive, you said you learned positive stuff. What could you take away? I would say, I'd have to give the guy skills. I think he's pretty funny on the mic, I think he's pretty good, I think that might've been the reality tv end of it. What have you taken away and how are you seeing this using yourself to advance you in the WWE."
"Yeah uh sure. I think uh...his professionalism was unbelievable you know. Miz is a guy that is...that is uh..is working every day to get better regardless of what it is. Whether it's in the weight room or whether it's his craft on the mic. Um...his ability in the ring, uh...he always looks like a star. He dresses very well, um...he just uh...he does the little things in the WWE very well, and he's always accountable and reliable. You know it's the number one thing in his mind when he wakes up, and the last thing he thinks about before he goes to bed, and it's extremely important to him, and he prepares. And uh there's really very few people that prepare like he does. And coming into this business I felt the same way about myself. You know I wanted to prepare and I wanted to be ready for anything that they threw at me, and I learned a few different ways to do that through him because he was...his attention to detail is very good, and I always respect that about him."
"And but now you're gonna show the other side of respect, which is you're not gonna be anybody's bitch."
"Yeah well that's the thing you know. I mean you can respect somebody as much as you want, but if they turn on you and start insulting you on...and trying to make you look like a fool, it's gonna upset you. So uh...it's time I kind of forge my own path and we find out uh...after a year who's better. Which is great."
"We're on the phone with Alex Riley, WWE coming into the 'Cuse tomorrow night, it's gonna be a great time. Uh I got another question for you. Why is there not an Alex Riley FlexForce action figure, and do you see it on the market soon?"
"You know I don't know. We got to ask the WWE that, because I want one, I think my fiancee wants one you know? I think there are a lot of people out there that want one, uh..my friends and family still...yeah I think uh...I think that should be the next step. You know I think that would sell real well and there is a demand for it. So uh, maybe after I beat up the Miz, we can make his job making that happen."
I then grab a piece of paper and a pen writing on the paper. After I'm done writing on it, I hold it up for Alex to see and it says 'Yes, I want one'. He tries not to laugh.
"I think that should be his job. I got another question, we uh...have you uh.."
"After all I did for him, he can get me an action figure."
"I agree. Hey listen, honestly. Alex has taken the bumps, any time the Miz has been in any sort of problem whether it was with Cena or anybody. Alex was always kind of there having his back."
"And what's the relationship now with John Cena?"
"Uh you know me and John have always been at odds since I got into this business. Uh you know we've never really liked each other too much, um...we're still at odds. Uh you know I've done a lot of things in the past that have uh...that have really um...really made his life hard to live with. Whether it be him not being able to keep the WWE Championship 'cause of me. I mean I was running around with the Miz making his life hell at times so uh...so that's not gonna fix itself over the course of 3 weeks. So uh I think last Monday you kinda saw that...I was tagged with him. And uh yeah I was forced to fight with him, which he's a pretty good guy to have in your corner. But I don't...you know I don't really like anybody to be honest."
"You sound like us."
"Yeah, my target's aimed at the Miz right now, so me and John have kind of come to an understanding where there's one guy that we're both kind of aimed at right now, but by no means are me and John friends."
"'Cause you're gonna take on the Miz at Capitol Punishment right?"
"Yes."
"So do you find that now or do you wrestle better solo, or do you like being kind of forced to wrestle with somebody else?"
"Uh no I like being solo you know? There's a lot of things I did learn from Miz, and I can never...I'll always owe him for that, but it's time I kind of go out on my own and make my own career, and I feel better wrestling solo. You know I can uh...I can sink my own ship I guess if you say. I live and die by my own score you know? Which I appreciate. It's nobody's fault but my own if I succeed, or if I fail. So I much prefer it that way, and I feel comfortable out there by myself in the ring. I think I can handle myself."
"We're on the phone with Alex Riley with the WWE. Uh obvioulsy going solo, definitely a wrestler's mentality. I'm gonna ask you one thing, because this has been in the news as of late. Obviously you grew up with the WWE. Have you seen some of the photos of the latest 'Backdoor To Chyna' on Vivid video..."
"Yeah Chyna with her..."
"Honestly I have not, I haven't even heard about this...what is this?" Alex asks, after laughing.
"Okay so..."
"She's in a new...a new porno..."
"And you saw the first one with X-Pac, you probably saw that right?"
"I have heard of it, I did not see it."
"Well it was a toe down there. I'm just gonna say that."
"She swinging something down there."
"And so she's...'cause I know she had some problems with WWE, so she gets out and now she's doing Vivid Video 'Backdoor To Chyna'."
"Oh my goodness."
"And it's just like...I had to get someone's perspective 'cause I saw it and I was like...oh wow."
"Hahaha yeah, well thankfully I have not heard about it until this morning, and I have not seen it. I'm trying to stay away from it to be honest. I don't think my fiancee would be too happy..."
"No she wouldn't be too happy..."
"Yeah while she walks in I'm watching 'Backdoor To Chyna'." He says jokingly.
"Well I'll tell you this, we've told women on the show if you want to stop your man from cheating on you, right before you go out freeze frame it right there. Right before, you go 'You like that?'"
"Um another question real quick before you go. I've been watching Tough Enough, which I love. What I really like about is that you really get to see what these guys go through. How close is the reality show is it when you guys are seeing that behind the scenes, taking the bumps, the training. Because I don't think people realize what goes into wrestling. I don't even want to go down the whole 'well it's rigged and faked', and all that stuff. But there's so much that you guys put yourselves through, injuries and everything. How real is that when you watch that. Is that pretty much what you guys go through when you see that on tv?"
"I think they do a great job of renacting the whole thing and creating that enviornment. Because I'll tell you what, I was a uh...I was a football player at Boston College, and had played football my whole life up until the point where I was about 24. And uh...watched WWE on tv just like everybody else. Wanted to try it, walked into a uh...a camp in Ohio Valley. And uh after the first day or two of wrestling camp, I could not move my body. I mean it was...it was so hard, and I felt so sore, I couldn't even get out of bed. And I was thinking that uh...that football...I'd be able to handle this no problem, it can't be that bad. And I remember after day two, I didn't know that could continue to do this. It is very grueling, it is very hard um..you have to be a trained professional to do it. And then when you add the travel to all that. Whether it's uh...you know we have a show Friday, we have a show Saturday, we have a show Sunday. Then we'll do television Monday. Uh from time to time we'll go off to Europe for 3 weeks and wrestle every night in Europe, and uh...in Austrailia and places like that. So it's 200...I think it's about 270 days a year we're on the road or in the ring. And it does, it takes a toll on your body, it's not an easy profession, but when you're out there and you get 10 minutes in front of a crowd um...it just makes it all worth it and the pain goes away. It's a great feeling but by no means is it easy, and I think do a great job of showing that on that show."
I sit there at the computer listening to the radio and Alex at the same time. Eventually the interview ended, and I closed out of the internet, and shut my computer off.
"So now what are we doing?" I ask him.
"How about cuddling for a while and then going to get something to eat?" Alex suggests.
"You know I can't turn that down..." I smile.
"I know." He grins and pulls me over to the bed.
"Just so you know, I'm so not going out with you for you and Mike's match against each other. I don't like seeing you two fight."
"I know you don't. Its better for you to keep Windy company anyway."
"Right, plus she really can't stand seeing you two fight either. Boy I'm glad we can't see what happens during house shows."
"Yeah." He says, resting his head against mine.
"And then we got a 3 hour show Monday. Oh god...that means we'll see Wade, Cody and Ted. Great..." I sigh.
"I bet they're ecstatic about Monday Night."
"They better not try anything." Alex scowls.
"Which is why I think it's best if I stay with you all night."
"That's a good idea."
"Or if you're too busy at some time, I could always find Zack or Randy. They wouldn't let them try anything either...especially Randy."
"That's true too."
"He did help get rid of Ted that day so yeah..."
"Right."
After laying there for a while, we decide to get up and go out to get something to eat. In the meantime, Mike comes back and Aly's awake and changed.
"I was half expecting you to still be asleep." Mike chuckles, dropping a kiss on her lips.
"I thought about it." She laughs lightly.
"But if I slept anymore, I don't think I'd be able to tonight after the show." She adds.
"Ah, right."
"But I think you'll like this. Since we never made the trip to Victoria's Secret, maybe we should go now..." She suggests.
The look on his face makes her crack up laughing.
"I'll take that as a 'yes we should'." She laughs.
He just nods and then starts pulling on her arm to get moving.
"Mike, the store is not going anywhere. Slow down." She giggles.
"Your fault...you suggested it."
She shakes her head in amusement before going to grab her purse and put on her shoes. After putting her shoes on and making sure she has everything she needs, she walks back over to Mike who's grinning and then they leave. As they drive to the mall where the store is, he still has that grin on his face which makes her keep laughing when she looks over at him.
"You're not gonna stop grinning like that are you?"
"Nope."
"Oh my goodness." She shakes her head.
"Only blame yourself." He chuckles.
"I'm not doing anything, you're the one that's all excited to go."
"Ah but you're the one who mentioned it."
"Well sor-ry." She laughs.
"But at least calm down a little." She adds.
"Awwww."
"You'll survive."
"Plus, we're here anyway."
They get out and go into the mall, heading for the store they want. Mike starts to get more excited again, as he pulls her along as they search for the store.
"Calm down you goofball." She laughs.
"It's hard to..."
She laughs until they find the store.
"Now remember, behave yourself."
"I know I know."
They walk into the store and she laughs again because Mike's eyes are looking every which way, not sure what to look at first.
"Come on, just follow me. I know what I'm looking for."
"Awww." He pouts, giving her the sad eyes.
"Oh god not that face." She sighs.
"I'm sure I'm gonna regret this...but okay go looking around. Just come and find me." She adds.
Mike grins widely and kisses her hard for a brief few seconds before dashing away.
"I'm married to a goofball." She shakes her head in amusement.
Then she walks off on her own, heading to where she needs to go. She takes her time picking out things she needs and then some that she just wants, trying some of it on. Every now and then Mike comes up and puts things in the bag she's holding. Before she could even ask what he had put in the bag, he dashes off to find more stuff. She shakes her head again. She continues to look through the things, grabbing things and trying them on. Mike comes up again.
"You know, you keep adding things and I'm going to make you carry the bag." She tells him, looking amused.
"But there's so many things..."
"You do realize that I'm going to outgrow most of this in the next few months right?"
"Which is why I can enjoy it for the time being."
"Just making sure you realize that."
"Oh I do, don't worry."
"Alright. I'm about done so if you're wanting to grab anything else, you best go do it."
"Hmm, I think I'm good." He grins.
"Alright." She laughs, going over to find a few last things.
After finding those things, they head over to the checkout to pay for everything.
"I want to go to Bath and Body Works." She comments as they walk out and she makes him carry the bags.
"You make me carry the bags anyway?" He chuckles.
"Yup."
He shakes his head amusedly, and follows her as she finds Bath and Body Works and walk in. she roams around, picking up a few things. Mike leans over her shoulder and smells the things she's picking out.
"You should definitely get those...they smell really good."
"You think so huh?" She asks, looking at him over her shoulder.
"Yes I do." He grins.
"It's not gonna cause you to be all piranha more than usual is it?"
"Depends..."
She raises an eyebrow.
"That's for me to know and for you to find out."
"I see...well I guess I'm getting these then."
"You should do that."
She finishes grabbing the things she likes and pays for those, walking out with a small bag.
"Anywhere else you'd like to go?" He asks.
"Umm..." She pauses thoughtfully.
"Don't worry we have enough time. Take your time in thinking."
"Food court."
"Alright. After you." He says, allowing her to walk first.
They go down to the food court and find what they want to eat. After getting their food, they find a table and sit down at it to eat. Mike finishes first and watches her.
"Why are you staring at me while I eat?"
"What, I can't stare at you?"
"...just wondering."
Then after she finishes her food, Mike offers to throw away the trash along with his. She hands hers to him and kisses his cheek.
"Is there anywhere you want to go?" She asks him.
"Hmm...not that I can think of."
"I can tell by that look in your eyes, you're reay to go back to the hotel now."
"Mayyybe." He smirks.
"Alright Lover Boy, let's go."
He smirks some more, and picks up the bags he was carrying, and she picks up the bag she was carrying. Then they head through the mall and out to the car, then start heading back to the hotel. They get back to their room and she goes in first, setting down her bag on the table and kicks off her shoes. Mike walks in after her, setting the bags he was carrying on the table as well. She ruffles through the bags a little, waiting for a reaction from him.
"What're you getting out of the bags?" He asks.
"Just looking."
"Oh okay." He says, continuing to be curious and watch her.
Then as she's looking, she feels him step up really close behind her.
"Don't mind me..." He comments.
"Uh-huh..."
Then she foes back to looking through the bags at what he had got her. She pauses for a second when his hands settle on her hips and his lips press behind her ear.
"Are you trying to distract me?"
"Why, is it working?" He whispers in her ear.
"...maybe..."
"Good, I'm doing my job then..." He says, before nipping at her earlobe gently.
She sucks in a sharp breath, biting her lip. He smirks, before trailing his way down her neck. She tilts her head and her eyes fall shut as she leans back against him. He wraps his arms around her waist, and starts moving backwards heading towards the bed, his lips still on her neck. She stumbles a little, a yelp escaping. He pulls his lips from her neck, and turns her around in his arms so that she could see where they both were going. She bites her lips and squeaks when he picks her up and lays her on the bed. He kicks off his shoes quickly, before climbing onto the bed and hovering over her. She bites her lip again and giggles once as his eyes drop to her lips as she does that. He smirks, and presses his lips to her instantly, keeping his hands on her hips. She reaches up and cups his jaw in her hands. Then after a while, she slides her arms around his neck and rests her hands in his hair. She runs her fingers through his hair, tugging on it gently. Then she moves her hands down to his shoulder, and runs them down his chest and abs before tugging on the bottom of his shirt. He chuckles and breaks away long enough for her to pull the shirt off of him and toss it away. She runs her fingers over the indents above his pants, and keep dragging them along them. She smirks against his lips as he tenses and groans quietly. She starts to feel him playing with the bottom of her shirt now, knowing that he wanted her to take that off since his was off. She reluctantly pulls her mouth away from his and lifts her arms so the shirt can come off. He presses his lips back to hers and then runs his hands down her side, before moving them to her back. She arches up slightly and lets her hands go back down to trace over his hips, the indents in particular. Again she feels him tense up and he groans, but this time he intensifies the kiss. She responds with as much feeling, tightening her grip.
Then Alex and I are walking back to the hotel from where we were eating.
"You know, I think I should plan a shopping trip with Aly before the wedding happens.
"Okay..." Alex eyes me curiously.
"But not just any shopping trip...maybe going to Victoria's Secret or something." I say all calmly, waiting for a reaction.
His eyes go wide. I laugh as he swallows heavily, speechless.
"I did say maybe though...remember that."
He nods slowly.
"But you wouldn't be able to go you know."
"Damn." He curses.
"You'd be buying me the whole store...I just know it."
He gives me a sheepish grin.
"It's just a thought though. Your reaction to that was priceless though." I laugh.
"Can you blame me?"
"No not really." I smile.
"You are torturing me." He groans.
"Love you too."
"Just wait, I will pay you back for every ounce of torture." He threatens.
"Is that a threat?"
"A promise." Alex says in a low tone, his eyes dark.
"Ooooh I'm scared." I laugh.
"You should be." He chuckles deeply.
"Hmmm, I'm not convinced." I say as we walk into our room after returning to the hotel.
Alex shuts the door behind him and grabs me, pulling me and turning so that I end up pressed into the door with him flush up against me.
"Convinced now?"
"...I think I need a little more convincing..."
He smirks before pinning my arms on either side of me against the door, and goes in for an intense kiss. His lips crash down against mine and all I can do is kiss back since he has my arms pinned. I make a quiet noise and my heartbeat quickens. I start to tense up, starting to ball my hands up into fists, since it's the only thing I can basically do to deal with the tensing. He kisses me like that until he has to pull away for air. Alex rests his head against mine as the two of us catch our breath.
"Believe me now?"
I just nod, because I can't speak at the moment.
"Good."
"You can...let me go now."
Alex kisses my lips one last time before backing up.
"Okay...I just got to get my train of thought back now. I kind of lost it there for a minute."
Alex smirks.
"But you know I'm still not scared of you..." I laugh.
Alex chuckles. I step away from the door finally, and as I pass by Alex on the way to sit on the bed, I mess with his hair.
"Heyyyy."
"Oops." I smile innocently.
"Hmph. Minx."
"Love you too. What're you gonna do about it?" I raise an eyebrow.
"You'll see."
"Uh-huh...suuuure."
"I wouldn't underestimate me. You know I can be just as sneaky as you."
"Uh-huh." I nod.
"Wanna watch a movie?" Alex asks as we climb onto the bed and curl up together.
"Sure." I nod.
He grabs the remote and turns on the tv, finding a movie for us to watch.
"Aha one with lots of action...stay with this one."
"Alright."
He sets the remote down and we watch the movie. A couple hours pass and now we're walking into the arena for the house show.
"I really hope we don't see any of the stalkers..."
"Yeah..."
"I want a peaceful night...but knowing our luck that won't happen."
"Probably not." Aly makes a face.
"Well at least we've made it this far..." I say once we reach the room.
"That's a relief."
When we get into the room and relax for a bit, I take out my computer to go searching for stuff and whatnot, then I take out my iPod to listen to my music. That's when I see a post that says to list the song you're listening to and add 'in your pants' at the end. That's when I realize the song I'm listening to and I start cracking up.
"What's the matter with you?" Aly asks.
I hold out my computer for you to see the post, and then I show you the song I'm listening to on my iPod which is 'I Like It'. She busts up laughing.
"Is that what you said to Alex?" She says through her laughter.
"Oh my god!" I exclaim, smacking her arm.
"Sorry, I couldn't resist."
"Too funny not to." She adds, snickering.
"Too funny not to what?" We hear Alex's voice after he comes back into the room from changing.
"Nothing!" I clap my hand over Aly's mouth.
He looks from me to her, to me and then to her again.
"Okay...what's going on?"
"Nothing." I insist.
"Uh huh...okay."
I glare at her and she holds up her hands defensively. I take my hand from her mouth, hoping she don't say anything.
"She likes it..." She starts to say, but I cover her mouth with my hand again.
She forces my hand away.
"...in her pants!" She finishes, backing away from me and Mike just so happened to be walking in at the time she said that too.
"...what?" Mike asks, looking confused and yet slightly disturbed.
"Uh...nothing."
Alex looks just as confued and she mvoes to the other couch, snickering.
"It wasn't nothing...it was something." She snickers.
"Shut up Aly."
"Sorry, too funny."
"Basically she found this post that said to add 'in my pants' to the song she was listening to. So she was listening to 'I Like It'...and you can guess the rest." She adds, explaining.
They both start laughing.
"What did I tell youuuu." I say, picking up a pillow and throwing it at her.
She dodges it and laughs
"Then I asked her..." She trails off, before I interject.
"Don't you dare."
She gets up and scooches towards the door.
"...if that's what she said to you." She says, looking at Alex.
"That's it..."
She squeaks and runs out the door.
"Oookay...no more of the computer...or music..." I say embarassed, taking my ear buds out of my ears and shutting my laptop screen.
Alex chuckles and sits by me, draping his arm around me.
"...oh my god..." I say to myself, placing my hands over my face.
"She's just teasing." Alex says as Mike goes after Aly.
"It's embarassing..."
"It's okay." He laughs lightly, kissing my head.
Out in the hall where Aly was still heading away from the room and Mike was trying to catch up, she ends up bumping into somebody. She looks up to see the face of Drew. She immediately steps back, grimacing.
"In a hurry are we?"
"None of your business."
"Don't worry, I come in peace honestly. I just want to congratulate you on the baby."
"...thanks..." She says warily.
"...there you are..." She hears Mike's voice as he comes up behind her.
"I lost you there for a minute."
"Sorry." She smiles up at him when he puts his hands on her hips.
Then he looks up to see Drew standing there in front of them.
"Drew..." Mike acknowledges him, not entirely happy to see him.
"He was just saying congratulations." She informs Mike.
"Really? Don't have any plans on trying to get her away from me?"
Drew shakes his head.
"I am sorry for trying to do that in the past though." He apologizes.
"I can't say we'll trust you for a while but thank you for the apology." Aly remarks.
"You're welcome." He replies, then says that he has to get ready for his match, and walks away.
"Well...that was...weird."
"Yeah just a little bit..."
She leans back into him.
"So what shall we do now? Obviously we can't go back to the room yet, who knows what the lovebirds are up to."
"I don't think they're up to anything..."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I don't think we'll be walking in on anything, we'll be good."
She turns in his arms.
"You're going to turn down alone time? Are you feeling okay?" She teases lightly, reaching up to jokingly feel his forehead.
"I feel fine."
"Are you sure you want to go back?" She asks, patting his cheek before cuddling into him.
"Well you never know when my match will be, I mean it's not gonna be the main event because that's John's spot tonight...but if you really don't want to go back..."
"It's up to you." She shrugs.
"I guess we can hang out in catering for a while."
"Sure."
He lets her go and then they head off in the direction of catering. They get into catering and find a little table to sit at. She looks over the food choices. After deciding what she wanted, shet got up and went to get it. Well she started to and then paused, making a face.
"What is it?" Mike questions.
"I want fruit but there's oranges over there." She pouts.
"You sit down, I'll get it for you."
"Thank you." She kisses his cheek.
"It's what I'm here for." He smiles, and then she goes and sits back down while he gets it for her.
He comes back with a plastic bowl full of fruit and water bottle, placing them in front of her.
"You're too sweet." She smiles.
"It's my job. You are my wife afterall."
"Maybe so, but its still sweet of you."
"Love you."
He sits there while she eats, typing away on his phone, probably sending out a tweet like he does from time to time. She continues eating, occasionally running her foot up his leg teasingly.
"Are you trying to distract me?" He asks, still focused on his phone.
"I dunno, is it working?"
"Mayyybe."
She laughs quietly and keeps doing it.
"You know I don't think we need another episode like earlier today..." He smirks.
She pauses and tilts her head.
"Sure about that?" She asks quietly.
He takes his eyes away from the screen of his phone, and raises an eyebrow at her. She stares back at him, a small smirk pulling at the corners of her lips.
"The arena is not the place for that."
She shrugs and drops her foot back to the floor, finishing the last of her fruit.
"But maybe when the show is over and we're back at the hotel..."
She giggles quietly. Then once she finishes, she gets up and throws her trash away before returning to the table.
"Are you on twitter again?" She asks.
"I was...yes."
"Anything interesting?"
"I've just been getting a lot of questions about the baby. If it's true or not."
"Oh."
"So I sent a big tweet out there telling everyone that it is indeed true, and I've included the ultrasound pictures for proof."
"Gotcha." She looks amused.
"So, I think we can head back now. What do you think?"
"Sure." She agrees.
They both get up from the table, and walk out of catering, heading back to the room. Mike knocks once they get there and I respond so they walk in.
"So, I see you've had enough of the music and the computer huh?" She teases as she sits down on the couch.
"Shut up." I mutter, and she giggles.
"Can't listen to that song the same way anymore can you?"
"No." I shake my head.
"Your own fault."
I grumble quietly. Alex leans down to my ear and whispers.
"You and I both know it's true..."
"Oh my god!" I smack him hard on the chest.
"What'd he do?"
"Nothing you need to know."
"And don't encourage her..." I say to Alex, pointing at him.
He snickers, rubbing his chest where I hit him.
"That's what you get by the way..."
"I know. I couldn't help it." Alex says.
"You're so perverted..." I shake my head.
"He's a guy." Aly says blandly.
"Wait...so you do like it!" She adds, laughing.
"Aly!" I exclaim.
"You set yourself up for that one."
She laughs at my disgruntled face but then she stops laughing and looks over.
"What are you doing?" She asks Mike, who has begun playing with the bottom of her shirt.
"What, I can't play with the bottom of your shirt?"
"Just asking."
"Just don't be getting any ideas of losing any kind of control..."
He gives her a look and she just smiles sweetly.
"Awkward..." I mutter.
Alex snickers.
"Yup."
"Well...it's now awkward in here. I'm gonna like go for a bit." I say, getting up.
"Okay." Aly shrugs as Alex gets up with me.
"Enjoy the alone time..." I laugh as we leave the room.
Mike chuckles deeply and eyes Aly with a smirk.
"Uh-oh." She mumbles.
"Uh-oh is right."
She scooches away warily.
"You're not getting away that easily..." He grins reaching out and grabbing her.
She squeals as he pulls her back in.
"I got you now."
She giggles as his fingers move enough to tickle her slightly.
"And now we can have some fun."
She looks up at him and raises an eyebrow.
"Well fun for me anyway...I can torture you."
She makes a face.
"You love it."
"Only because I love you."
"And I love you too."
She barely brushes her lips against his and smiles.
"Are you trying to tempt me?"
She giggles.
"You know what happens when you tempt me..."
She does it again just to tease him. He pulls her even closer, and seals his lips with hers. She puts one leg over his lap and grips his shirt in her hands. He moves her so that she's sitting on his lap, and then rests his hands on her hips. She lets go of his shirt and cups his neck with both hands. He pulls away from her lips and starts to make his way don to her neck. She traces her nails over his neck and shoulders trying to keep relaxed. He decides to kiss her neck lightly, and not leave any marks this time. She lets her head drop against his shoulder and sighs softly. He stops eventually, and rests his head against hers, his arms moving and wrapping around her. She snuggles into him.
"Love you...so much."
"I love you so much too, more than you'll ever know."
"I think I have an idea." She smiles lightly, and takes one of his hands in hers and lays them on her stomach.
"I love the both of you." He grins.
"We love you too." She turns her head and places a kiss on his neck.
Meanwhile out in the backstage area, Alex and I are still walking around.
"You think it's safe to go back yet?" I laugh.
"I think so. Obviously we'll knock first though." He chuckles.
"Right." I nod, and then we start heading back.
But just as we get close enough to the room, we see the stagehand close the door. They turn around to see me and Alex, and tell him that his match against Mike is up next.
"Coming out or staying with Windy?" Alex asks me.
"You know I can't be out there when you two fight, I'm staying with her."
"Just figured I'd ask."
"Maybe one of these days I'll get used to the fact that this has to happen. Right now I'm still adjusting."
"Okay." Alex kisses the top of my head.
Then he goes off in the direction of the curtain, and shortly after Mike came out of the room to do the same. I walk back into the room, and sit down on the couch.
"You okay now?" Aly asks, giggling a little.
"Yes, I'm okay now."
"Just checking."
Then we just hang out and talk while we wait for the match to be over and for the guys to come back. They finally get back, already changed and looking kind of tired.
"Ready to go we assume?" I ask.
They both nod and we get up. We leave the room, and make our way outside and get into the car, then head off back to the hotel for the night.
