It's the next day and Aly's sleeping peacefully, but Mike is wide awake and already dressed for the day. Hel ooks over at her sleeping peacefully, and decided that he'd wake her up. So he walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, before leaning down and capturing her lips with his. She slowly stirs, feeling pressure on her lips. As she wakes more, she realizes Mike is kissing her so she reaches up and pulls him closer. He smiles into the kiss and cups her face in his hands, before pulling away a bit after.
"Mmm...hi to you too." She mumbles sleepily.
"Morning."
"Eager to start the day?"
"Of course I am."
"I take it you want to swim." Aly says, realizing the shorts he has on are swim trunks.
He nods eagerly.
"I'm down for that." Aly agrees, stretching.
"Good." He smiles.
"Why don't you go pick out a swimsuit for me then?"
"Sure thing." He smirks, getting up.
She sits up, holding the sheets to her. He goes over to her things, searching for a swimsuit. He finally decides on a pink one. Mike brings it to her and she puts that on, and then gets up.
"I need to put my hair up and then put on sunscreen before we go out there."
"Alright." He nods.
She goes and puts her hair up, most of her hair still in curls from the day before. Then she goes through her things and grabs the sunscreen, getting the spots that she can reach. Mike comes up behind her and takes some of the sunscreen to put it on the places she can't get. Then she repeats the same thing for him, before putting it away. They kiss and then go out to the deck where there's a ladder that goes down to the water. Mike lets her go down the ladder first, before following her down to the water.
"Oooh this is nice." Aly sighs, swimming around.
"And we don't have to worry about a beach."
"Nope. We even have a pool up there if we don't feel like climbing the ladder."
"Exactly."
"Good pick." She swims over and kisses him.
"Thank you."
She slides her arms around him and just floats there.
"We have all week to enjoy this."
"Mmhmm. I'm glad."
"Good." He grins, kissing her quickly one more time.
She smiles and snuggles against him.
"I am so happy with my life right now." She says as they float around lazily.
"Me too." He nods, smiling.
"I can't believe how much has happened in less than a year."
"I know."
"I never thought when I used to watch you on Raw and everything, that I would end up as your wife and be carrying your child."
"All that wouldn't have happened if I didn't end up meeting Carly."
"Thank god for that."
"We can thank her everyday of our lives."
"Mmhmm." She agrees, nuzzling his neck.
"I love you so much."
"I love you too. Very very much."
"And so does Jellybean." She adds.
Mike moves his hands to her belly, rubbing on it gently.
"I love Jellybean too."
"If Jellybean turns out to be a girl...oh boy." She snickers.
"I can only imagine how protective everyone will be. Not just you, but all my pseudo-brothers." She adds.
"You got that right." He chuckles.
"I feel bad for the boys that try to date her."
"That's not happening for a while."
She laughs.
"We don't need to worry about that just yet."
"I know, just saying though."
"Right."
"As far as kids go, I want at least one of each." She says.
"Well we can try."
"I know you love the thought of that part."
"Of course I do."
She laughs at the smirk on his face.
"Our son would be just like me."
"And what happens if he acts like me?" She raises an eyebrow.
"Well that would be just fine."
"Good."
"But I still think he'll act like me."
"We'll see." She laughs and kisses him.
"Uh huh."
"Just a couple more weeks before we find out if we're having Christopher or Savannah."
"I know, I can't wait."
"Only about 2 more weeks or so before we feel movement."
"I can't wait for that either."
"Me neither." She smiles at him.
He smiles back and kisses her again. She pulls herself closer to him. He pulls away after a while, and then just floats around in the water while holding her. She nuzzles into him with a sigh of content. In the meantime, I've been awake for a while now and dressed for the day, while Alex is still sleeping and I've decided to call the doctor to schedule an appointment for after we get back home at my place today. I went out on the balcony just because I didn't want to wake Alex up. I call the doctor's office and make my appointment. As I'm ending the call, warm arms slide around me and a kiss is placed on my shoulder.
"Good morning to you too." I giggle, snuggling into his arms.
"Morning." He says, sounding sleepy.
"You could've stayed in there sleeping. You sound tired still."
"You got up." Alex shrugs, burying his face in my neck.
"I needed to make the doctor's appointment before we head back home to my place. I didn't want to wake you."
"Oh well."
"Mr. Lonely." I snicker.
"Only 'cause I love you so much."
"I know you do." I smile.
"I love you too." I add.
"Come back to bed now..." He whines.
"Whyyy." I mimick his whining tone.
"I want you tooooo."
"Do I have toooooo?"
"Pleeaaassse?"
"Alright, since you asked nicely."
"Yesss." He cheers.
I laugh and he tugs me back inside.
"We can't lay here for very long. We do have to get our things together and drop the rental car off, and then grab a taxi back to my place." I say, as he pulls me down onto the bed with him.
"Fine fine. But for now, rest."
"Okay okay."
He snuggles with her, making her giggle quietly.
"You're all extra snuggly today."
"Are you complaining."
"No, not at all. I was just saying."
He shrugs.
"Ever since yesterday...you've been like this...has to do with our Jellybean doesn't it?"
"...maybe..."
"...it so is." I grin.
He smiles sheepishly.
"I think it's cute."
"Well that's good." He mumbles as he lays against me sleepily.
"Sleepyhead." I giggle.
"Mmm..."
I wrap an arm around him as he's laying against me, and I begin to trace his tattoo with a finger. Alex sighs in content, dozing lightly. Before I know it, he's out and sleeping again. Unfortunately for me, I have no way of moving, so I'm stuck there. I reach for my phone and amuse myself until it gets time for us to leave. I drag my nails across Alex's scap.
"Alex...come on it's time to get up now."
"Nooooo." He whines, snuggling more into me.
"We need to get on the road, let's go. I don't want to be late for my appointment."
"Don't make me do it..." I threaten starting to move my hand.
"No no no." He grabs my hands and moves reluctantly.
"Good choice." I grin, taking my hand from his grip and getting up.
He gets up and goes to change. While he changes, I make sure my things are packed, before turning around to catch him finishing up. I bite my lip slightly while watching him. When I see him start to move and look up, I quickly avert my eyes.
"I know you were watching." He laughs.
"No I wasn't."
"Yes you were. You don't have to be embarassed, I watch you all the time."
"Oh I know you do...I sense it all the time."
"Exactly how I knew you were watching."
"Well looks like I can't hide anything from you."
"Not really." Alex laughs.
"Darn." I laugh.
He chuckles and the two of us finish packingup our things. Then we grab everything and head down to the lobby to return the keycards, before heading out to the car and putting everything in the trunk and heading off to the rental car place to drop the car off. Then we got a taxi and headed home for at least today or so before we leave the state and go somewhere else for a house show. We get to my place and there's enough time for us to have breakfast before we head off to my doctor's appointment. After getting there, I check in and everything before we sit in the waiting room for me to be called in. It's not a long wait before my name is called and Alex and I get up and follow the nurse in. I go through the process of being tested and wait in the exam room for the doctor to come in with the results.
"You seem more impatient than me." I say to Alex, snickering.
"I can't help it, I wanna know for sure."
"I know." I say as I lace my fingers with his.
Alex kisses my head gently. Then there's a knock in the door before the doctor comes in and takes a seat near us.
"Alright Mrs. Kiley, from the results I have here, those tests you took are indeed correct because you are pregnant."
Alex has a look of pure joy on his face as he looks back at me and kisses my hand. I smile at his enthusiasm.
"But as to how far along you are, you're almost 5 weeks." The doctor adds.
I nod.
"This puts your due date at March 23rd." The doctor finishes.
"Go figure...that's 3 days before my birthday." I laugh.
Alex and the doctor both chuckle.
"Anything thing else that's important or that I need to know?" I ask.
"You do need to start taking a prenatal vitamin but I can't think of anything else."
I nod and we thank the doctor, before she leaves and then we leave. As we walk out to the car, Alex is repeatedly kissing my head.
"I am so happy right now."
"I can tell." I giggle.
He grins and kisses me.
"Aly will definitely be happy to hear the news," I say as we get to the car.
"Yeah." Alex agrees.
"But we can head back home after stopping at the store."
"Okay."
After getting into the car, we pull out of the parking lot and make our way to the nearest store. Once we get there, I park, and get out by myself.
"Shouldn't take me too long."
Alex nods.
"Love you." I say through the open window.
"Love you too." Alex leans over and steals a kiss.
Then after pulling away, I head into the store. After I find everything I need and pay for it, I walk out of the store and get back into the driver's side.
"What else did you get?" He asks, eyeing the bag.
I open the bag and take out a large bag of Skittles.
"These...haven't had them in forever."
Alex raises an eyebrow.
"I had a craving okay?" I add defensively.
"First Windy and the chocolate...now you and Skittles." He chuckles.
"Not like we can help it."
"I know I know, I'm just saying."
"Right.."
Then I open the bag and take some out, placing them in the cup holder, while putting the bag back into the store bag. I grab a couple out of the cup holder and then start the car back up and head back to the house. Alex is watching me eat the skittles while I drive and keeps chuckling.
"Reminds me, I have to call Stephanie about this situation. I'm most likely gonna have to lose the title like Aly did." I say once we pull into the driveway.
"Yeah but she lost hers before she got pregnant."
"Right, which means it's probably gonna be different for me. I don't want to just give it up. I'd rather compete in a match and lose it."
"I don't know if I like that idea." Alex frowns as the two of us go inside.
"Well just giving it up doesn't feel right to me."
"I know, believe me. But I don't think me competing is a good idea, I don't want anything to happen to you or the baby."
"I'm almost 5 weeks, I've been competing for a while like this and I've been fine."
"Do you really want to take the chance that something could go wrong this time?"
"Well no but..." I trail off and sigh.
"...let's just see what Stephanie says." I finish.
"Alright." He reluctantly agrees.
I put my phone on speaker and sit at the table, dialing her number. Then once it starts to ring, I place the phone on the table and we wait for her to answer.
"Hello? She asks.
"Hey Steph, it's Carly."
"Oh hi Carly, how are you?
"I'm good. Um...there's something that I need to tell you though. I'm almost 5 weeks pregnant."
"Oh wow, congratulations."
"Thank you."
"And I'm sure you're calling about what is going to happen with your title." She says.
"Well...yes."
"I know I'm gonna have to lose it in some way. I want to actually compete in a match and lose it the fair way, but Alex doesn't seem to like that idea because I could possibly get hurt and so can the baby. I don't just want to give it up, because that doesn't feel right to me." I add.
Stephanie sighs.
"Hmm..."
"I know, we're between a rock and a hard place with this."
"Yes we are."
"If we are to have you compete, we can make it against someone who isn't too tough." She adds.
"Not Maryse. Or the Bellas. Please no."
"No no, you've faced them far too many times now."
"Thank god." I sigh.
"Maybe Kelly? Creative has been trying to come up with a way for her to become Divas Champion." She suggests.
"I could live with that."
"Alex?" I ask, turning to look at him.
"I don't know love. I still don't feel comfortable with it." He sighs.
"If it makes you both feel better, when you get to the arena on the day of the house show...you can Kelly and practice the match out, to make sure nothing bad happens."
I look at Alex again and he considers it for a few moments before reluctantly nodding.
"Okay, I'll do it."
"Alright, I'll let Kelly know and take care of all the other details before the show."
"Okay, thanks Steph."
"You're welcome. Again, congratulations to both of you."
"Thanks." We both say, before saying 'bye' to her and we hang up.
Alex pulls me over into his arms and holds me to him.
"That makes me feel at least a little better, but not completely." He says.
"I know you'll worry until it's over."
"You most likely are gonna be coming out with me for the match." I add.
"Not most likely, more like definitely."
"I figured as much."
He nods and kisses my shoulder.
"You know we're gonna have to find something else to call the baby besides Jellybean. We don't want to get confused with Aly's being called that."
"Baby love." Alex declares, his hands moving to my stomach.
"That didn't take you long." I giggle.
"Nope."
"That's cute. That can be your name to call it. I wanna call it Gummy Bear."
"Gummy Bear?" He asks curiously.
"Yeah. See I absolutely love Gummy Bears."
"Ah."
"I think it's cute."
"Right." Alex chuckles.
"Speaking of...I could go for some gummy bears right now."
Alex laughs.
"I wonder if I have any..."
I squirm until Alex lets me go and I get up to go rummage in my cabinets.
"Hmmm...aha there they are." I say, pulling out the bag from one of the cabinets.
I take the bag in by Alex and cuddle up to him while opening the bag and popping some gummy bears into my mouth.
"You know what goes good with these? Ice cream."
"Sure." Alex says, looking amused.
"But don't be getting any ideas of getting up to get any..." He adds.
"Aw."
"Maybe later. For now, I want to stay like this."
"Snuggly." I snicker.
"You love it."
"Yes I do."
"Love you." Alex smiles, stealing a kiss.
"Love you too."
I keep snacking on the gummy bears with Alex continually stealing kisses from me. Then out of nowhere he pulls me onto his lap, and then sets the bag of gummy bears on the table.
"Heyyy."
"I was eating those." I whine.
"You can't eat the whole bag in one day...it's not good."
I sulk, pouting.
"Deprive me of my bears..."
"...meanie." I add.
"Would a meanie do this..." He trails off, before pressing his lips to the base of my neck.
"...maybe..."
"Are you sure?" He asks, starting to move.
"...yes..."
"You don't sound too convincing."
"How can I...when you're doing that?"
"Exactly." He grins.
I just sigh as he keeps doing it.
"Wait...I have an idea...let's go down to the beach. It's a nice enough day out." I add.
"That means I'd have to let go." Alex whines.
"But you'd get to see me in a swimsuit." I respond.
"I'll even let you pick it out." I smirk, and he perks up.
"That's what I thought." I snicker.
He grins and I laugh. Both of us get up and head into the bedroom to get changed. He goes into my drawers searching for a swimsuit for me to wear and he picks one that has pink, blue, yellow, and other colors on it and hands it to me.
"Nice choice."
Then I go into the bathroom to change into it, and in the meantime pack up a beach bag and everything while I'm in there. I come out and Alex is ready, just waiting for me.
"All ready to go?"
"Yup."
After making sure we had everything we needed, we left the room and went outside, making our way down to the beach. We get to the beach and spread our towels out. then I bring out the sunscreen. We go through the usual routine with the sunscreen before I put it away and we relax for a bit. After laying in the sun for a while, we both decide to get up and go into the water to cool off.
"Oh this is so much better." I sigh in relief.
"Yeah." Alex agrees.
Then while standing in the water, I sneakily splash him when he's not paying attention.
"Heyyyy."
"What?"
He splashes me.
"Ohh, I see how it is..." I snicker, splashing back.
This causes a splash fight to erupt between the two of us. I turn my face away from the splashing that he's doing while I splash back. The water had stopped hitting me, but it was too late to realize that he was coming after me, since his arms were around me.
"Eep!" I squeal as he spins me in the water.
"Haha got you."
"So you did."
"I win."
"You want a prize or something?" I joke and then laugh when he nods vigorously.
"Hmm...what to give you." I smile, pretending to ponder the thought.
He leans in and kisses below my ear.
"Eager are we?" I tease.
He does it again in response.
"Okay so I'll take that as a yes." I laugh, as I start to lean into his touch.
"Uh-huh." He mumbles, doing it a third time.
He decides to start making his way to the sensitive spot on my neck. Since we were out in the open in public and not in the comfort of my own house, I hid my face in his shoulder/neck just in case. He brushes his lips against the spot gently when he reaches it. My breath hitches and I tighten my grip on him a bit. Alex smirks and nips lightly at it. A soft moan comes from me, it being muffled by his neck/shoulder. He grins and kisses it before pulling back.
"..evil." I say against his skin, still clinging to him.
"But you love me anyway."
"I do, and more proof of our love is down there." I say, motioning to my stomach.
"I know and I'm thrilled about that."
"Aly's said that you'd be a good dad someday."
"She did?"
"Mmhmm, from what I can remember."
"Well I hope so."
"I know you will be."
"And you'll be an amazing mother."
"Awww, thank you."
"You're welcome." He kisses my cheek.
"Imagine if I'm like 3 days late on my due date and I have Gummy Bear on my birthday?"
"That would be kind of funny."
"I know, but hey celebrate two birthdays in one day."
"Yeah." Alex chuckles.
"But I can be early too. Not everyone delivers on their exact due date."
"Right."
"I just hope we're in the same city or something when that happens. You need to be there for that."
"I know. But if I was somewhere else, I'd drop everything and go to you."
"I know you would. That's one of the many reasons why I love you."
He kisses my cheek and then my lips.
"And I love you too."
"Baby love too." He rubs my stomach gently.
"I'm sure Gummy Bear loves you just as much. Even though he or she isn't much right now."
"Right."
"I should let Aly know about everything. You can rub my stomach while we sit back on our towels." I grin.
"Okay." He agrees.
"I know that's gonna be your new favorite thing to do."
"Yup. Now I get why Mike is always doing it to Windy."
Then we make our way back onto the beach and when we reach our things we sit down on the towels. I take my phone out of the beach bag and start typing out a message to send to Aly, telling her about the appointment and everything. In Bora Bora, Mike and Aly are now laying together on the day bed outside, exchanging kisses and loving touches. Their phones are laying near them and hers starts to go off, causing Mike to groan as she breaks away from his lips to grab it.
"Awwww."
"What?" Mike asks.
"Dolce is actually preggo, about 5 weeks along. She's calling it Gummy Bear and Alex is calling it Baby Love."
"Why Gummy Bear? Do you know?"
"She loves gummy bears. Has since we were kids, just like I love jelly beans."
"And it also looks like she's getting cravings...for skittles." She laughs, reading the next text I send.
"Nice." Mike laughs.
"Okay, she's gonna let us get back to our alone time." She adds.
"Good." Mike smirks as she puts her phone back where it was.
"Now where were we?"
She lays back the way she was before the messages and brushes her lips against his. He smiles against her lips and starts to gently rub her stomach in the process. She sighs and then presses her lips harder to his. Then she takes his bottom lip between hers like she does a lot now, and she starts to gently nibble on it. He groans and she giggles before sucking on it lightly. He groans more before he pulls her closer. She knows it's getting to him so she keeps doing it while pressing herself as close as she can get to him. His grip then starts to tighten as he holds onto her hips. She gently runs her nails over his skin while still working on his lip. Then she moves her hands down to his indents and presses her fingers into them. She gets another groan and then a growl from him, making her giggle. She then decides to let his lip go in favor of trailing her lips down fron his, down his neck an starting to mvoe down her chest. She feels his hands roaming over her back and shoulders and smiles. She reaches his abs and stops briefly to look up at him to see his reaction. She sees his jaw is tensed so she knows she's getting to him, which makes her laugh silently. Then she presses her lips to his abs and starts kissing along the skin. She feels him tensing beneath her lips and she decides to add in gentle nips in between kisses. His hands have moved so they're laying against the pillows around him, and as he tenses from the kissing and the nipping from her, his han grip the pillows. Then she trails over to one of his indents. He tenses more and starts to squirm around a bit, to try and get her to not go there. Of course she does it anyway and starts to kiss and nip there.
"You...I...lose...control..." He says, fumbling over his words.
"Hmm?" She giggles.
He just shakes his head because she's driving him crazy to the point where he can't speak normally.
"Ooh I made the Miz speechless." She teases.
"...shut up..." He manages to say as he calms down..for now.
"I don't want to."
"I want to continue driving you crazy." She adds.
"Noooo..." He groans.
"Yesssss." She laughs.
"Whyyyy."
"The same reason you torture me, it's fun." She shrugs, pressing her lips back to his indent.
"Nooooo..."
She laughs and keeps doing it. He grabs a pillow and puts it over his face and a loud, muffled groan, much louder than before erupts from him. She smirks and laughs silently. Then she moves over to the other indent, doing the same as before. She gets the same reaction and she can tell he's close to doing something about it.
"You're in trouble." He says, still being muffled by the pillow.
"Really?" She asks, before sucking gently at the skin of his indent.
He just nods, since he can't talk again.
"I think you're bluffing." She says before doing it again.
"...no more..." He groans.
"Why not?" She giggles.
He just shakes his head again instead of responding with his voice. She giggles again and reaches up, swatting the pillow over his face.
"No more pillow." She adds.
She pulls it off him and makes her way back up over his abs and chest. Then she mvoes up to his lips, capturing his with hers. She cups his jaw and kisses him hard. He pulls from her lips for a brief moment.
"Now you're in trouble."
"Prove it." She laughs.
"Don't underestimate me." He smirks.
"Lover Boy."
"You know it."
"Yes I do. Jellybean is proof.*
"And I love Jellybean."
"Jellybean loves you too daddy."
"And I love you."
"I love you too." She smiles.
"Now I think we were in the process of you being in trouble for what you did." He smirks.
She giggles. He leans back down and it seems like he's going to go for her lips, but instead he goes for her neck and the sensitive spot. She sucks in a breath. To get her back for what she did to him, he spends a good amount of time between kissing and nipping at the skin of the sensitive spot. She muffles her moans into his shoulder, digging her fingers into his back. Then he switches to the otherside of her neck, doing the same thing. She buries her face in his other shoulder, muffling herself grins against her skin before moving up to her ear. She turns her head so he has better access. He doesn't stay there long though, and moves down her neck again and to her collarbone. She lets her head fall back against the pillows and she bites her lip. He also lets his hands roam along her sides and back as he continues. She shivers and squirms a little. He chuckles and rests his hands on her back. She feels him tracing along her spine and she twitches, squirming again. He makes sure to at least leave some marks, before moving back up to her lips. She kisses him hard until he pulls away.
"See? That's what you get." He grins.
"I still think I got you better."
"Maybe so, but still."
"I'm going to have lots of marks aren't I?"
"Uh huh."
"Piranha."
"Love you too."
"I say piranha in a loving way."
"I know."
Mike lays on his side and she lays mostly on her back but tilted towards him. He puts a hand on her stomach and rubs it.
"So is there anything planned today?" She asks him.
"Well there's a sunset cruise we can go on tonight. Then maybe in a bit or so, we can go on the glass bottom boats."
"Lunch too."
"Right, can't forget about that."
"No, Jellybean wouldn't be very happy if we did."
"So in a bit we can leave for lunch and from there go to the glass bottom boats."
"Sounds good."
"Maybe when we come back from the cruise tonight, we'll use the pool too."
"Ooh yeah."
"We're gonna have nothing but fun this week."
"Mmhmm."
After laying there for a bit, she decides to get up and get changed before leaving for lunch. As they're eating lunch, she sends me various pictures she's taken and tells me where they are and what they're staying in.
"Oooh." I say once I look at the pictures she sent me.
"Ooh what?" Alex asks.
"Mike took Aly to Bora Bora in Tahiti, and they're staying in one of those over water bungalows."
"Oh, nice."
"It looks amazing."
"Yeah it does." He agrees, looking over my shoulder at the pictures.
After looking through the pictures and everything, I put my phone away in the bag. Aly sets her phone down and finishes eating, repeatedly dragging her foot up and down Mike's leg as he sits across from her.
"The torture doesn't stop does it?"
She shakes her head and giggles. After they both finish eating, Mike pays and then they leave and head to the glass bottom boats. They're waiting for the boat and Mike slides up behind her, wrapping her in his arms. She leans back into him and closes her eyes with a content sigh. Then they start swaying back and forth in his arms as they wait. After a bit he kisses behind her ear.
"Boat's here." He murmurs.
She opens her eyes and somehwat untangles herself from him so they can get on the boat. They wait for a few more people to get onto the boat before it pulls away. They all watch through the glass and listen to the guide talking while taking pictures. While looking through the glass she finds a very interesting looking fish and she points it out to Mike.
"Look at that one." She says in awe.
"Oh wow, that's an interesting fish."
"Uh huh."
"This is amazing though, great idea." She smiles.
"Thank you." Mike smiles back.
"Just wait until the sunset cruise." He adds.
"That's going to be amazing, I know."
"We can either take it just the two of us or with others. I figure you'd like just the two of us."
She nods in agreement.
"Look at that one." Mike says, pointing out another fish.
"Oh wow, that one's funky."
"Wait look at that one...that one looks funny." She snickers.
"Yeah, it does." Mike laughs.
By the time the boat ride was over, they had just enough time to get something to eat for dinner before they needed to get to the sunset cruise.
"Mmm, that was good." She says as they leave dinner.
"It was, the food here is great."
"Uh-huh."
Then they head over to where the sunset cruises are and get onto one of the boats, before heading out on the water. She cuddles into Mike as they stand by the railing.
"The day was amazing." She smiles.
"Thank you." She adds.
"You're welcome." He smiles, kissing her head.
She takes a few pictures and then Mike uses his phone to take one of them in front of the sunset, of course going to post it on twitter as usual.
"Twitter again, I'm assuming." She giggles.
"Maybe." He grins.
"Dorkus." She laughs.
"Your dork." He corrects, then puts his phone away after posting the picture.
"Yes I know. Always."
"Always." He repeats, and then they both turn back around to watch the sunset
"So pretty." She sighs.
"Just like you."
As always, she blushes.
"Love you." He says, kissing her cheek.
"Love you too." She kisses his cheek in return.
They continue to watch the sunset until it had turned completely dark out, and that's when the boat headed back. She starts to yawn and lean against Mike, her eyelids starting to droop.
"Looks like we're gonna have to save the pool for tomorrow."
"No, we can do it for a little bit at least."
"Your eyes are drooping."
"It's not like the pool is far from the bedroom, it's only a few feet."
"I know, but are you sure?"
"Mmhmm."
"Alright, if you say so."
They go back to the bungalow and change into different swimsuits since the ones from this morning are still damp. Then they head out onto the deck and get into the pool. In the meantime Alex and I are still at the beach and we had taken one more swim in the water before drying off on the beach as the sun starts to set. Alex sits on the towel and pulls me down so I'm sitting between his legs with my back against his chest. He rests his hands on my stomach and I rest my hands on his.
"I say once we get back up to the house we watch movies until we get tired."
"Sounds good."
"Just want to take a shower first."
"We can do that."
"I'll let you take one with me this time, but no funny business."
"Alright." He chuckles.
After the sunset, we grab our things and I grab my towel and wrap it around myself, before we head back up to the house. The two of us take a quick shower, Alex actually behaving. We both get into our pajamas and set up a movie in the bedroom.
"I'll be right back. Can't forget my skittles and gummy bears." I laugh, heading out of the room to get them.
I hear Alex chuckle. I grab the bags and bring them into the bedroom.
"No depriving me of the bears this time." I say, closing the door behind me and going over to the bed and climbing under the blankets.
"I will if you eat too many."
"I promise I won't."
"Alright." He says as we both get comfortable.
I snack on the skittles and gummy bears while watching the movie. After a while, I stop snacking on them and place the bags on the nightstand, before snuggling into Alex's side. My eyes occasionally keep closing after I open them back up. But I give in and I fall asleep shortly after. Alex kisses my head and turns off the tv.
"Night love." He whispers.
Then he starts to drift off to sleep himself. In the meantime Aly and Mike are still swimming around in the pool, until she leans against one of the pool corners. She rests there and covers her mouth to hide a yawn.
"I saw that."
"Saw what?"
"Hiding that yawn."
"What yawn?"
"You know exactly what I'm talking about."
She shakes her head, looking at him innocently.
"Come on...you're tired. I know it."
"Alright, alright. Yes I'm tired."
"Let's go to bed then."
"Mmkay." She agrees, turning and lifting herself out of the pool.
He lifts himself out of the pool and they both dry off with the towels before heading inside and into the bedroom to change for bed. They change and slide into bed. She snuggles up to him.
"Night, love you." She says sleepily.
"Love you too, the both of you."
She presses a kiss to his neck and fall asleep cuddled up with him.
