It's a little later in the morning and I'm already up and dressed for that matter. I let Alex sleep in because he looks too peaceful sleeping right now. I walk out to the kitchen and dig through the cabinets and everything for what I need to make breakfast. Once I have everything I start to cook the food. After a while the smell of food wakes up Alex and he wanders into the kitchen. He slides his arms around my waist and nuzzles his head into my neck, placing a soft kiss there.

"Morning love."

"Morning." I smile.

"Whatcha' makin'?"

"Oh a little of everything...pancakes, bacon, sausage..."

"Mmm...smells good."

"I know...by the way, nice hair." I giggle, seeing his bedhead.

He rolls his eyes.

"I guess the bed likes your hair." I continue to giggle.

He snorts and keeps nuzzling my neck.

"No distractions...I need to focus here."

"I'm not."

"Maybe not now, but I know you probably have plans to."

"Later. When I'm more awake and you aren't cooking."

"And I can already tell that's a promise."

"Yup."

"Now go out into the living room, I'll bring your plate out when I go in there myself. This is almost done."

"Okay." He places another kiss on my neck before taking his arms away and going into the living room.

After making sure everything was done, I pulled out two plates from a nearby cabinet and I put the food on each plate. I grabbed silverware and napkins, before grabbing both plates and heading out into the living room.

"Thanks babe." Alex says when I sit down and hand him his plate.

"You're welcome. What would you do without me..." I laugh.

"Go crazy." He grins.

"I think I would too, if I didn't have you."

Alex smiles and kisses my cheek.

"I'll admit, I'd probably still be at home basically obsessing over you."

He laughs.

"Watching Raw every Monday and then every pay-per-view. Yelling at the tv when things don't go my way."

"I could see that." He laughs.

"Of course you can, because I still do that now."

"Exactly."

We eat and talk, and as soon as we're done we put our plates on the table in front of us. Then he gets a glimpse of my shirt, and chuckles.

"It reminded me of you." I tell him, laughing.

"Funniest thing you could've ever said." I add.

"Glad I could make you laugh." He replies.

"You're a funny person. You and your crazy sayings."

"Why thank you."

"You're welcome...but now I think you should go get dressed...sleepyhead."

"You know you love me like this."

"You're right, I can do this too..." I say, reaching over and ruffling his hair.

"Heyyyy..." He grabs my hands.

"Hah! I got two hands." I laugh, taking my other hand and ruffling his hair again.

"Ohhh what now?"

He grabs my other hand and then kisses me.

"...no fair..."

"Should've thought of that before."

"But doing that to your hair is fun."

"So is kissing you."

"And kissing leads to other things."

"Not all the time."

"When you can help it."

"Right."

"Which last week didn't go so well with you helping it." I giggle.

He grins sheepishly.

"Of course I didn't help at times. So it's partially my fault."

"Yes it is."

"But you loved what I wore to cause that."

"That's true, I have to admit."

Then I move so I'm sitting on his lap and I lean back against the arm of the couch, my legs stretched out.

"I'll be wearing that stuff a lot now." I smirk.

"Oh god."

"Yep, torture galore...so much fun."

"For you."

"Hey you get me back every time for it, so you can't complain."

"...true."

Then I sit back up and lean in awfully close to his lips, as if I was going to kiss him. I wait a few moments before talking.

"...go get changed." I say, pulling back and moving from his lap.

He looks at me and goes to say something but thinks better of it and heads to the bedroom.

"Me, 1...him, zip." I laugh once he's out of earshot.

A few minutes later he comes back. I'm laying on the couch looking at the ceiling, still laughing to myself because I won that time.

"Think that's funny huh?"

"Of course it is...I win."

"Uh huh...suuuure."

"Don't underestimate me."

"Ooooh I'm scared."

"You should be."

"I should be...but I'm not."

"We'll see about that."

"I don't believe you..." I sing.

He walks over and pins me to the couch.

"Ooooh I'm scared now...not. You do this all the time." I laugh.

His eyes fall to my collarbone.

"You're gonna have to move the shirt to get to that, resulting in you letting me go."

"Not if I do this." He reaches down without moving his body and pulls my shirt down which causes the neckline to dip and reveal my collarbone.

"Uh oh..."

He smirks.

"I take everything back!"

"Too late." He laughs, dipping his head down.

"No no no no no..." I say repeatedly, shaking my head.

He starts to nip at my collarbone.

"...okay...I get it..."

"Gonna quit teasing?"

"For now."

"I'll do this again then."

"Noooo."

"Gonna stop?"

"Well seeing as I don't have a choice here...then yes."

Alex pulls away from my collarbone and lets go of my shirt. I sigh and sit up, trying to relax now as my heart goes back to normal pace. He smirks, knowing the affect he has on me.

"I will get you back for that you know.

"I know."

Then I go to get up, but since he's sitting back on the couch, he pulls me down back onto his lap. I squeak in surprise.

"Not going anywhere." He comments.

"Clingy much?"

"I just looooove you."

"I looooove you too." I sigh, looking amused.

"But you got to let me go, I have to go do all those dishes."

"Laaaater."

"Don't make me do what I always do when I sit on your lap." I threaten.

"Nooo." He grabs my hips.

"Then let me get up."

"Awww." He moves his arms.

Then he moves his hands from my hips. When it seems like I'm gonna get up, I move around on his lap and before he could stop me I got up quickly and ran to the kitchen.

"Carly..." He says, getting up and chasing after me.

"Eep!" I squeak.

Then I stop by the kitchen sink, one hand holding the sprayer and one hand on the faucet. He skids to a stop, eyeing me.

"I've got water and I'm not afraid to use it."

"Aww come on."

Then I turn the faucet on letting the water run, while I hold the sprayer in my hand, avoiding the trigger on the handle to spray the water...for now. Alex slowly creeps closer.

"Don't test me, I will spray you."

He freezes.

"Come any closer and you get sprayed."

"Damn."

"Althought it would be a pretty nice sight for me." I smile innocently.

He can't help by laugh. Then out of nowhere I spray him anyway, I can just clean up the water that spills later.

"Oops...my finger slipped."

"Heyy! I didn't do anything!"

"I know, I just felt like doing it."

He comes after me now.

"Ahhh! No!" I yell, shutting the water off quick and running away.

Alex laughs and dashes after me. Meanwhile at Aly's place with her and Mike, he's just woken up and walked out to the living room, finding her sitting on the couch and watching some tv. She feels a kiss on her head.

"Morning." She smiles.

"Morning." He says, mid-yawn.

"Sleep good?" She giggles.

"I slept great." He nods, plopping down on the couch next to her.

"Good to hear." She says as he lays down with his head on her stomach and she starts running her fingers through his hair.

"How long have you been up?" He asks.

"Not too long."

"How did you sleep last night?"

"Not too bad."

"Well that's good."

"Mmhmm."

"We have to go to Austrailia next week after Raw."

She stops her fingers and goes really quiet.

"It's the World Tour. We're in Vegas again for Raw, but we have to leave the next day for Austrailia."

She bites her lip and closes her eyes, still silent.

"...I'm sorry."

She still doesn't say anything, trying not to cry. He knows something's wrong, so he sits up and faces her, concern all over his face. He sees her biting her lower lip which is wobbling and her eyes are shut tightly. He frowns and then wraps her in a hug.

"You needed to know...I'm sorry...please don't cry."

She buries her face in his shoulder, tears spilling over.

"I can't help it, you're gonna be gone for how many days and I can't go." She chokes out.

"I know...I wish I didn't have to go, honestly I do."

She keeps crying into his shoulder.

"There are lots of ways we can talk to each other though. I mean it's not like you're not gonna see me at all."

"I know." She manages to say.

"I hate to leave you alone for the week. I wish Carly could at least stay with you, but she's got to come with us."

"She's going too?"

This makes her cry harder, of course.

"Unless we can work something out..."

She doesn't reply, even when he runs his fingers through her hair.

"Lyssa...please...I hate seeing you cry."

She tries to stop and ends up sniffling.

"I'm sure we can talk to Stephanie and she can work something out."

She nods against his shoulder.

"You wanna do that now?"

She nods again.

"Okay, just let me get dressed, I'll grab my phone and we'll call her."

She clings to him.

"I'm just going to the bedroom, it's not that far away." He tries to reassure her.

She shakes her head and wraps herself around him.

"Okay, we'll use your phone. Where is it?"

She moves her arm and points at the table. He nods and reaches over and grabs it, going into the contacts and dialing Stephanie's number, still holding Aly. It rings a few times and then Stephanie picks up.

"Hello?"

"Hey Steph, it's Mike. I have something to ask you."

"Hi Mike. What can I do for you?"

"Well it's about Carly. Does she have to go with us next week to Austrailia?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Alyssa's really upset about all three of us having to go." Mike says with a sigh, running his fingers throuhg Aly's hair with his free hand.

"We want to know if you can work something out, where she doesn't have to go." He adds.

There's a pause.

"I think I can do something." Stephanie replies.

"Really? That's great."

"Now I won't be able to do this for every trip you know."

"I know, because she's the champion and she's important to the roster."

"Right. I can do it this one time though."

"Thank you Stephanie, we really appreciate it."

"You're welcome, just rememeber...this time only."

"Right. We'll talk to you later then."

"Bye Mike."

"Bye Steph."

"Good news and kind of bad news. Good news is she doesn't have to go...bad news is, this is the only time this can happen."

"Okay." She sniffles.

"You okay?" He asks.

"Kind of."

"As long as you're gonna be okay."

"...yeah...I'll feel much better when you're back with me though."

"Well right after the show in South Africa next Sunday, I'm flying right back to the states and I'll see you in Boston for Raw on Monday."

She nods slowly.

"But we don't have to worry about that now, we have a week together, by ourselves to enjoy."

"Mmhmm." She nuzzles her face into his shoulder.

"Love you." He says, kissing the top of her head.

"Love you too." She replies, muffled against his shoulder.

"I'll try not to be a downer. It's just hard with my wmoetions being all over the place and all these hormones..." She adds, sighing.

"I know, but it's okay."

"So, after I get dressed and everything, what do you want to do?" He asks, after you pull away.

She shrugs, staying wrapped around him.

"Or we could just stay around here, your choice."

Again, she shrugs.

"Tell you what, we can stay around here for most of the day, then go out for dinner. Sound good?"

She nods, kissing his jaw.

"Good. Now you're gonna have to let me go so that I can go change."

This time she shakes her head and keeps kissing along his jawline.

"...Lyssa..."

"...uh-uh..."

"Well...looks like you're coming with me then..." He says, and suddenly picks her up off of the couch.

She squeals and clingsg to him. Once she gets over the initial surprise, she resumes kissing up his jaw and then starts nibbling at his earlobe. He stops walking for a minute, taking a sharp intake of breath.

"...Lyssa." He manages to get out.

She just giggles and keeps doing it. Then she hears a deep growl come from him, as he tries to keep moving. She giggles harder. He manages to get back to the bedroom, but fumbles with the doorknob as he's semi-distracted by her actions. She reaches behind her and pops it open. After he walks in, he goes to set her down on the bed but she still won't let him go.

"...Lys..."

"...nope."

"...I need to change though..."

"No you don't."

"And why not?"

"I like it like this..." She giggles faintly, running her hands over his still bare chest.

"...so no changing." She adds.

Mike looks down at her with a raises eyebrow and she returns his stare, chewing her lips lightly. Then she leans up and seals her lips with his again, wrapping her arms around his neck as he's still holding her. He responds and lays her on the bed, propping himself up on his forearms over her without breaking the kiss. She moves her hands and brings them up to his hair, after lightly dragging her nails acorss his neck, and tugs lightly. Then she runs her nails along his scalp. There's a delayed growl from the nails going across the neck, and as soon as she was running her nails along his scalp, he started to deepen the kiss. When he does that, she breaks away and lightly brushes her lips against his in a teasing way. She hears him groan before he presses his lips back to hers, kissing her harder this time. She breaks it, repeating the teasing brush.

"...Lyssa...don't make me do it..." He mutters, eyeing her neck.

"...oops." She giggles.

"Do it again and you know what will happen."

"...sorry."

"Uh huh...suuuure." He grins.

She laughs. He shakes his head amusedly, before going back to her lips. This time she lets him do what he wants while she keeps messing with his hair. He moves from her lips, up to her ear and gently nips at her earlobe like she was doing to him. She exhales and bites her lip. He moves along after a bit to behind her ear, then goes down her neck slowly before stopping on her shoulder for a while. Her head drops to the side and she sighs quietly. He starts to gently nip the skin of her shoulder, while moving along it and down to her collarbone. She tenses up slightly. His lips move from there back to her lips, where he kisses her for a few more moments, before pulling away.

"Love you." She mumbles as her eyes slide open.

"Love you too."

She smiles as he moes to lay with his head on her stomach like he was earlier.

"I won't get changed until much much later." He grins.

"Good." She smiles, running her fingers through his hair again.

"By the way, don't you want to call DC or Dolce to tell them that she doesn't have to go with you guys next week?" She adds.

"Ah, good point."

Since his phone was on the side table, she reaches over and grabs it for him.

"Here..."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome." She smiles.

Mike dials my number and puts it on speaker, laying the phone on her stomach.

"Hello?" I answer.

"Hey Carls." Mike says.

"Hi Dolce." Aly adds.

"I'm on speaker aren't I?" I laugh.

"Yup."

"Anyways, what's up?"

"You know about the trip to Austrailia and what not right?" Mike asks.

"Yeah..."

"Well I talked to Stephanie and you don't have to go." Mike says.

"You get to stay with me." Aly adds.

"But only if you want to. I won't make you stay behind if you really want to go. I just don't like the idea of being here all by myself." She continues.

"You know I would never want you to be alone. Of course I'll stay behind with you."

"Thanks so much Dolce. I really appreciate it."

"You're welcome. You know I'd do anything for you."

"I know and the same from me to you."

"Right, of course."

"Thanks Carls." Mike speaks up.

"It's no problem."

"We'll let you go now. We just wanted to let you know about the change." Mike adds.

"Alright, talk to you later."

"Bye." They chorus.

"Bye." I say back, before hanging up.

"What was that about?" Alex asks curiously after I hang up.

"Um...I sort of don't have to go on the tour next week."

"What do you mean?"

"Well Mike talked to Stephanie and apparently I don't have to go. Since Aly can't come with us, she doesn't like the idea of being by herself for a week, so I don't have to go and I'm staying with her."

"As much as I hate to be away from you, I know that you staying with her is better for her and the baby." Alex says after sighing.

"I know, I hate to be away from you too."

"We have a week before that happens so let's just make the most of it."

"Right." I nod.

"So what do you want to do?" Alex asks.

"Well for now we could go down to the beach, but I know that I do want to go out to a club tonight, we haven't been in a while."

"Sounds good to me." He agrees.

"Good. And no I'm not gonna be changing into my swimsuit in here. I'm going into the bathroom." I laugh.

"Damn."

I shake my head amusedly before kissing him quickly, then going into my drawers and finding a swimsuit. Then I head into the bathroom to get changed. When I come out, Alex has everything gathered up that we'll need and is putting it in a bag to carry down to the beach. Once he gets everything all set, we leave the bedroom and go out to the backyard, then head down to the beach and find a spot to stay in. When we find the spot to stay in, we set our things down. The two of us spread out our towels and go through the usual ritual of putting on the sunscreen. I put my sunglasses over my eyes and lean back on my arms as I relax for a while. Alex does the same but quickly leans over to kiss my shoulder.

"Love you."

"Love you too." I smile.

Then Alex lays back, one hand reaching out and laying on top of mine. I smile still and move my hand so that I can lace my fingers with his. He squeezes my hand and I look over to see a matching smile on his face too. After laying there for a while, the sun is suddenly blocked and I feel myself being picked up.

"Alex!" I shriek.

He takes off my sunglasses and tosses them on the towel before walking out to the water.

"No more resting, time to go into the water."

"A little warning would've been nice!"

"It's not fun that way."

I huff and cling to him. He walks down to the shoreline, then starts wading into the water. He waits until he's a good distance out in the ocean before stopping. I half expect him to just drop me but he surprises me by lowering me nicely.

"No dropping me in this time..."

"I thought I'd be nice for a change."

"Well I appreciate it, thank you." I smile.

"You're welcome." He kisses me quickly.

Then I lean back and start to float through the water and away from him. Alex chuckles and swims after me.

"Ahh no!" I squeak and start actually swimming away.

Alex laughs and swims faster. I start to swim faster, and stop suddenly. But when he catches up and goes to grab me, I switch directions and swim away again laughing. He growls and spins, swimming faster than ever. When I least expect it, he ends up catching me.

"Noooo..."

"Yessss...miiiiine."

"You have an unfair advantage..." I laugh.

"Yeah, and?" He chuckles, nuzzling against my head.

"It's not fair."

"You have other advantages."

"And what are those?"

"You have that way of distracting me."

"Uh huh, I know." I smirk.

"Well there you go."

"And I can use that way anytime I want." I add, with my hands starting to wander.

He grabs my hands.

"Hey heyyyy..." He scolds.

"What?" I smile innocently.

"Not here."

"We're far enough out, no one can see anything."

"Yeah but knowing you, you'll have me about ready to lose control pretty quickly with those wandering hands of yours."

"And that's a bad thing? We can just run back to the house."

Alex raises an eyebrow at me.

"Kidding, just kidding. But I'm not gonna make things easy for you the rest of the day...that's for sure."

"...great..."

"That's my job, and I'm good at my job."

"Yes you are." He admits.

"But you love me anyway."

"Of course I do."

"Forever." I smile, wrapping my arms around his neck and pulling myself closer.

"Forever." He repeats, kissing me gently.

Then after he pulls away, I rest my head on his shoulder as we both float through the water. The two of us swim around in the water for a while before going to lay down on the towels again. A few hours or so later, the sun had gone down and Aly and Mike were getting ready to go to dinner like Mike suggested earlier in the day. She's standing in the closet and flipping through the dresses she has, sighing when she realizes that half of them won't fit anymore.

"Something wrong?" Mike asks from in the bedroom.

"Half of these won't fit anymore."

"Need help finding something?"

"...yeah."

He stops what he's doing and walks into the closet, standing next to her and starts looking through the dresses for something for her to wear. He reaches for one.

"Doesn't fit." She says bitterly.

He retracts his hand and continues looking. Then he comes across a blue squarenexk dress.

"What about this one?"

She reaches out and checks it.

"...should fit."

"Let's hope it does."

She shrugs off the robe she had on and pulls the dress on.

"Yup." She says after tugging it into place.

"And it even puts the mini bump on display for you." She adds, giggling a little.

"Good." He grins, kissing her quickly before walking out to finish getting ready himself.

She crouches down and pulls out a pair of shoes and puts them on before leaving the closet. After walking out of the closet, she heads into the bathroom to do her hair and what not. She giggles when Mike follows, wanting to watch. He leans against the doorframe as she stands in front of the mirror starting with her hair. She keeps catching his eyes and then looks away while giggling. After he hair, she works on her makeup and he still watches her with a smile on his face. She keeps randomly giggling as she finishes her makeup.

"Amazing." He comments.

"Thank you." She says bashfully, he cheeks slightly pink from the way he's looking at her.

"You're very welcome." He smiles.

She puts it all away and walks over to him.

"Love you." He grins.

"Love you too." She smiles.

Then he moves to let her walk out of the bathroom and put her things away. She gets everything put away and turns to him with a smile.

"Ready to go?" She asks.

Mike nods and takes her hand, kissing it.

"Lover Boy." She giggles softly.

"Always have been, always will be." He adds.

"Good because I love it." She smiles.

"I know you do."

"Shall we get going then?"

"Yes we shall." He says, lacing his fingers with hers as they walk out of the bedroom.

She locks up the house and then they get into the car and drive off to where they're having dinner. After reaching the restaurant, they get out of the car and head inside. Mike had already called ahead of time and made a reservation, so when they walked in he said that they had a reservation under his name and then they were directed to a table.

"Smooth." She kisses his cheek as they move to sit down.

They're handed menus to look through for the drinks and food. First they order the drinsk and as usual, they wait for those to be brought over. She's still looking down at the meny when she feels her hands being touched and she tangles her fingers with his without looking up. He lifts her hand and kisses it, before looking back down at hus menu. She finds what she wants and pushes her menu away, watching him instead. Once he finds what he wants, he pushes his menu away as well, and then turns his attention to her as well. She tangles the fingers of their hands together and squeezes both of his hands. After waiting a bit, the drinks arrive and they order what they want to eat.

"This place is really nice, you made a good choice." She says to Mike.

"Well you do deserve the best." He smiles.

She smiles softly.

"You will always deserve the best."

"Well thank you."

Then after a while, the food arrive and it's placed in front of them. They eat and talk all the while. As per the usual lately, she finishes first. She decides to amuse herself by dragging her foot along his leg.

"Having fun?"

"Mmhmm."

Then she snuggles into his side a bit and leans her head on his shoulder. She feels him lean his head against hers and she smiles. Then after a few minutes or so, he finishes his food and they wait for the bill to be given to them. Mike pays the bill and they head out to the car.

"So I was thinking that we head back home, and maybe end the night with a movie." Mike suggests.

"And actually try watching the movie this time?"

"Yes, we can actually try watching the movie this time." He chuckles.

"I can't promise you aren't going to be distracted, you always find me distracting no matter what I do or wear."

"That's true, but I can try."

"Alright." She giggles.

Once they get back to the house, she unlocks the door and they both walk in. They walk through the living room and then down the hall into the bedroom to change for the night, before watching the movie. She gets changed into her pajamas and switches to her glasses. She grabs one of her favorite throw blankets and takes it out to the chair they'll be watching the movie in. Then she searches through her movies for one to watch. After finding one, she turns it on and gets it all set up before sitting down in the chair, and Mike sits with her. She cuddles up to him and sighs in content. He wraps an arm around her shoulders while his other hand rests on her stomach like he has been doing. She puts her hand on his and smiles. He kisses the top of her head before leaning his head against hers and watches the movie. Through the last half of the movie she was trying to fight off sleep but by the end, she had given up and was fast asleep, snuggled in Mike's arms. He looked down at her and saw that she was fast asleep. He smiles to himself but decided to not move her, since she looked peaceful. So he shut off the movie and the tv, before getting comfortable in the chair and kissing her forehead. Then he slowly drifted off to sleep himself.

Back with me and Alex, the two of us are cuddled up on the swing placed by the firepit watching the flames.

"So when do you want to go to the club exactly?" He asks me.

"Soon but the problem is I'm so comfortable."

"I want to wash all the salt from the ocean off of me before we go, but you're comfy and I don't wanna move." I add.

Alex chuckles.

"I can help with that. You won't have to move an inch until we get inside..."

"Just let me put out this fire." Alex adds.

I nod and wait as he grabs the hose and puts the fire out, and making sure that's it's soaked down enough so it doesn't ignite on it's own. Then he comes back over to me and picks me up, heading inside. Once we get into the bedroom he puts me down.

"Thank you." I kiss his cheek.

"You're welcome."

"And before you can even say anything...no you can't join me in the shower." I laugh.

"Aww, darn."

"Won't take me that long anyways."

He nods and I disappear into the bathroom. Like I had said, it didn't take me too long to take the shower. Once I was done, I walked out in the robe I had taken in with me, and then went to my closet for something to wear. I laugh when Alex groans. I finally come across clothes to wear and I purposely get changed there in the closet of course. At the same time as I was doing that I could feel his eyes on me. I just smirk as I finish and kneel down searching for shoes on the floor of the closet. I hear him mumbling curses under his breath.

"I can hear youuuu." I sing.

"Well you're being evil."

"I know." I smirk, once I find the shoes and stand back up, closing the closet door.

He sighs. Once I had my shoes on, I grabbed everything else I needed before going into the bathroom. I first worked on my hair, blowdrying it and styling it. While I'm doing this, Alex decides to come watch me. After I had finished my hair I went to my makeup and everything. But at the same time, Alex walked in and stood behind me. Then he snakes his arms around my waist and he buried his face in my neck.

"No distracting me." I warn him.

"I'm not." He mumbles.

"Just saying."

"Uh-huh." He mumbles into my neck.

I finish my makeup and put everything away.

"Alright snuggly, time to leave the bathroom."

"Awww."

"Come on, you get to be touchy feely all night."

"Okay..." He says, reluctantly letting me go, and then we both leave the bathroom.

We both get anything we might need.

"Ready?" Alex asks.

"Yup, all set." I nod.

We leave the bedroom, and I make sure to leave the lights on so that we'd be able to see when we walk in when we get back later. We head out to my car and get in, then head off to the club. We get into the club and I grin when a hear a song I like.

"Come onnn..." I say, pulling him towards the floor.

Alex laughs and comes with me. And just as we got out onto the dance floor and started dancing, that's what he started to get all touchy feeling again.

"Touchy feely." I tease him.

"You said I get to be..." He chuckles.

"I know, I'm teasing."

"Just don't get too touchy feely." She adds.

"I'll try and control myself."

"Try is the keyword."

"Right." He chuckles.

"But you're not making it easy." He leans down and whispers in my ear.

"Of course not, its my job. I told you earlier." I giggle.

"Well I can do little things to you for all this...for now." He smirks.

He presses a kiss behind my ear. Then he grabs me by the hips and pulls me back into him, so that I'm super close.

"Alex..." I warn.

"What? I'm not doing nothing."

"Behave."

"I am behaving..."

"You better be."

"Don't worry about a thing. You can trust me."

"Alright."

After a few songs or so, we decide to take a break and sit down in a booth. I wait as Alex went to get us drinks, and when he came back he scooched in next to me handing me my drink.

"Thank you." I say, kissing his cheek.

"You're welcome."

Sitting there for a while just listening to the music while talking to Alex, there ended up being a spot of silence as we just sat and listened to the music completely. That's when I feel Alex's hand on my leg, and he moves it down to my knee and rests it there...for now. I eye his hand but don't say anything just yet. I keep quiet and sip at my drink, but I'm still fully aware of his hand. Then his hand starts to move back up my leg from my knee, leaving goosebumps along my skin.

"What're you doing?" I ask, turning and looking at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Touching." He says simply.

"Uh-huh..." I reply, still a bit curious.

His touch continues up my leg until he reaches the hem of my skirt. Then he starts to play with it, but before he could even go any further...which is probably where he was heading next, I reached down and grabbed his hand.

"Alex...not here, not now."

"Just teasing." He kisses the side of my head.

"Suuuure, I know you want to go farther than that."

Alex just smiles mischeviously.

"Can you blame me?"

"No but behave."

"You're making it very hard to."

"Neither are you."

"You started it."

"Oh I did, did I?"

"Yes...you did."

"Its fun to mess with you. Plus its my job."

"And it's my job to get you back for everything."

"True." I laugh.

"Which is what I'm doing right now."

"Watch it though. We don't need anything happening out in public."

"I know, I know."

The two of us sit for a little longer before deciding to go dance again. He did manage to behave...to the best of his ability. We were having so much fun dancing that we didn't realize how late it was, until I checked. We both agreed that we would head back home for the night...him agreeing more eagerly than myself. I bite back a laugh at his enthusiasm as the two of us head back to my house. When we pull up and get out of the car, I fumble with the keys as I stand on the front porch, because I could feel him right behind me and his breath was on the back of my neck. Alex sets his hands on my hips and starts kissing the back of my neck. After fumbling around with the lock for a bit due to Alex's 'distraction', I finally get it open and we walk inside. Alex locks the door back and then turns, scooping me up in his arms. I squeak in surprise and then loop my arms around his neck as he carries me towards the bedroom, shutting off whatever lights I had left on for us when we left earlier along the way. I decide to start kissing his neck to torture him.

"Carly..." He groans.

"Hmm?"

"Babe, you're evil..."

"Again...I know."

He carries me into the bedroom and lays me on the bed. He leans back up and then he takes his shoes off first and I do the same. Then he takes his shirt off, taking his time with each button just to drive me crazy. I end up sitting up and reaching for the remaining buttons.

"You're taking too long." I say, pushing his hands aside and bite my lip as I finish what he started.

He chuckles and lets me undo the rest of the buttons quickly. Alex shrugs off his shirt and tosses it aside. I scooch back on the bed so that I'm leaning against the pillows, as he moves and hovers over me. I waste no time in grabbing him and pulling him down to my lips. Alex kisses me intensely, trailing his hands up my legs and sides. I make a quiet noise, which is mostly muffled from the kissing and I grip his shoulders as I match the intensity of the kiss. I then run my hands over his shoulders and then start tracing his tattoo. He shivers and twitches a bit, but keeps his focus on the kiss. Then he moves only one hand back down my side and to my leg and squeezes it, earning another quiet noise from me. I take my hands and put them on his abs, making him tense up. I only hold them there for a while, making it seem like I'm not gonna do anything. But at the last minute I drag my nails across very slowly. Alex groans into the kiss. I smirk before moving my hands to the indents by his hips, sliding my fingers across them only slightly. I get another noise from him and giggle. I decide to torture him more but keeping my hands on his hips and my thumbs on the indents. Then I pull from his lips and bring them down to his neck and start kissing it like I was earlier when we got home. I hear a loud growl and groan come from Alex and I laugh softly. His grip on my side and on my leg had gotten harder as I moved along his neck and then went to his jawline and totally avoiding his lips as much as I could. He has enough of the teasing and reaches up to hold my head in place as he kisses me thoroughly. Once he thinks that he's got control of everything, and that I won't go back to teasing him, his hands start wandering and first he plays with the hem of my shirt. His fingers dip underneath and trail along my waistline. I shiver and I make yet another quiet noise. From there my clothes start coming off, along with whatever he had left.
