I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC.
Adora's Point of View-
I sipped my coffee as I headed to the door when Maryse came in through the doors already changed back into her outfit.
"Where is he heading in a rush?" Maryse asked confused looking back down the hall that Alex was pretty much running down.
"You'll see." I said smiling.
"You hungry?"
"Yeah…" I said as Maryse and I walked along the tables grabbing food and took it to an empty table, which was easy since barely anyone was in there.
"Where is this ring gear you were talking about?" Maryse asked as she sipped her coffee.
"It's in the locker, I'll show you at the hotel." I said.
"Okay, you have anything else in France?" Maryse asked as we both crossed our legs, it was one of those random coincident things that sometimes occur.
"A few things, but nothing I need right now."
"Maybe we will get mom and dad to ship it over next time we are at home."
"We could…I don't want to impose on you guys either."
"You won't be imposing, the moment Mike found out you wanted to move out here with us, he willing cleaned out the whole guest house and prepped it for your arrival that same day, he was more than happy." Maryse said.
"Wow, never thought he would be that excited." I said laughing as I ate at my fruit.
"He was…."
"How'd Alex and Mike, you know?" I asked curiously.
"Oh, WWE started this new show called NXT where they bring in these Rookies from FCW or other independent wrestling promotions pairing them up with Pros who will teach them what they need to know how to survive in the WWE."
"Good concept…so he doesn't have a full WWE contract?"
"He sort of does….he has had one before NXT started….this was the only way to get him on the good side with the fans."
"What does a Rookie do though?"
"He has to accompany the pro to the ring, amongst other things…pretty much an assistant of sorts…in the ring that is…" Maryse said.
"Good deal…" I said shrugging.
"Remind me to give you Alex's number…" Maryse said as I was kind of excited about that but didn't want to express it.
"Why?"
"That way if you can't get a hold of myself or Mike, you can try him." Maryse said as she bit into her salad.
"Oh….okay." I said smiling a tad.
"I see you are out of your vegetarian phase." Maryse said patting at her lips with a napkin.
"Yeah, living with dad it's hard to live as a vegetarian." I said as we both chuckled.
"Plus, Mike and Alex love their meat, it'll be hard to keep up with it here."
"I bet….How new is Alex to this company? I never really saw him around…" I said.
"He's only been with the company for a year if that…he just now started to get air time on television." Maryse said.
"Maybe that's why we never really seen each other."
"Why so interested?"
"Just curious, I mean if I'm going to be travelling with him and having to trust him to an extent I need to know about him…plus he's working with Mike, I need to know if he's an okay person, I don't want Mike to get into anything with someone that isn't a good person." I said as I bit into my sandwich.
"Alex's is a great person, he's just the right personality for Mike." Maryse said.
"Do you know why he goes by the 'Varsity Villain?'"
"Where'd you hear that?"
"It was on the back of his letterman jacket he was wearing."
"That, you need to ask him." Maryse said when Mike and Alex walked into catering, Alex was laughing hard enough where he was in tears and Mike looked pissed beyond pissed.
"Hey guys…." I said biting my lip.
"What's wrong baby?" Maryse asked.
"Your sister, care to explain this?" Mike asked turning around showing the rip in the pants, I bit my lip harder trying not to laugh but Alex just burst out laughing harder.
"What makes you think it was me?" I asked trying to be offended.
"You're the only one I know that can make my pants instantly tighter within the last hour or so." Mike said as I let my giggles out.
"It was payback for laughing at Alex." I said.
"It's not funny," Mike said looking to Alex who was laughing harder, "Your taking his side now?" Mike asked like he was kind of hurt.
"Wasn't saying that…."
"Your fixing this…"
"Am not…"
"You are too…" Mike said as I shook my head no, he then lunged towards me as he started chasing me around catering and through the hallways when I pushed a crate between us.
"I'm sorry, I'll fix it…" I said before Mike could dive over the crate to tackle me, he did so anyway, he twisted us to where he would take the fall and I landed on top of him, he begun tickling me.
"Wait until payback…" Mike said as I couldn't stop laughing, he pushed me off him so he could finally get up helping me to my feet and wrapped his arm around me, "My baby sis finally got her older brother…" Mike said laughing.
"You got to admit, it was funny…"
"It was funnier when it happened to Alex…" Mike said smiling.
"It was funny either way…" I said as we went into catering seeing Alex helping Maryse take care of our things.
"I was telling Maryse that it was raining outside…" Alex said.
"Is it?" I asked shocked looking to Mike.
"Yeah, we just went out there to take care of our bags before coming to get you guys, it was raining cats and dogs." Mike said.
"Great…" I said sarcastically.
"Let's go get our bags then we will be ready to go." Maryse said as Mike and Alex followed behind us to the women's locker room where I unlocked my lock that I was reminded to bring then grabbed my carry-on and my suitcase before I slammed the door close walking out of the locker room holding the door open for my sister. I watched Maryse and Mike walk hand and hand in front of me as I was slightly behind them with Alex not too far behind me, he was more like next to me than anything. As we approached the door that led outside, I stopped behind Maryse and Mike watching Mike take his coat off offering it to my sister letting her put it on along with flinging the hood up as he picked her bags up for him to carry before they made a run for it as they were holding hands. I approached the door seeing the distance between myself and the car that Maryse and Mike were already running, I looked down seeing the white shirt I decided to wear, then I went to open my bag to grab a jacket that I packed.
"Here…" Alex said already having his jacket half off.
"No thank you Alex, I have…."
"Just take it…your too much like Maryse you know that?"
"Thank you Alex…" I said smiling as I pulled the jacket on that was bigger on me than it was on him buttoning up most of the buttons as he picked up my suitcase and handed me my carry-on. "You don't have to carry my…" I begun to say.
"Hurry up guys!" Mike yelled waving for us to come from his car with the trunk open.
"I want to…" Alex said smiling and winking before he grabbed my hand pulling me with him as we both ran through the heavy rain to Mike's car where I watched Alex put up my suitcase, I dived into the backseat throwing the hood off and begun to unbutton the jacket to hand it back. "Keep it, you will need it at the hotel." Alex said sticking his hand out telling me to stop.
"You sure?"
"Yeah…" Alex said smiling.
"Thanks Alex." I said.
"Nothing like a little rain to welcome you to the states huh Addie?" Mike asked.
"I don't doubt it….maybe they just know how much I hate lighting and thunder storms…" I said looking out the window.
"Why don't you like them?" Alex asked curiously.
"Never have, I don't know why…" I said shrugging.
"Because you're a baby…" Mike said as I then hit his seat knowing he had felt it. A clap of thunder and a bolt of lighting went off getting me to jump out of my seat landing closer to Alex grabbing onto him for safety, when I realized what I was doing I slowly scooted back to my seat slightly embarrassed.
"Sorry…" I said sheepishly, I looked out my window not wanting to look in his direction embarrassed of the way I acted.
"It's fine Addie." Alex said as I felt him pat my shoulder lightly in a comforting way. Mike pulled up to our hotel for the night, he pulled up to in front of the lobby parking the car there as we all went into the lobby without having to run through the rain to get to it. I waited aside with Maryse watching the two men check us in. They came back handing Maryse the key holder that only had one key in it.
"Why is there only one key?" I asked.
"I always keep one key of her room, for emergencies or in case scenario's, I want to protect my two girls…and she's my girlfriend, you never know when…" Mike said winking.
"Ew…" I said as I just turned and walked away from that awkwardness, Alex caught up with me and was smiling.
"I think it's cute that Mike wants to protect you and Maryse…" Alex said.
"I guess it is….I think it's a great idea but sometimes Mike can be a dickwad." I said getting him to laugh as we stood beside the car waiting for Mike and Maryse to walk out.
"Everyone can be one at some point in their lives, I can be a dickwad." Alex said.
"I have yet to see that side of you…" I said smiling and pushed a strand of hair behind my ear.
"I will try to not let you see it…"
"Please…I'm not saying that I don't love Mike, because I do as an older brother type way…why am I explaining myself to you? You work with him, you know what it's like…" I said chuckling.
"That I do…" Alex said laughing.
"What are you two laughing at?" Maryse asked as her and Mike finally walked out the front doors.
"Nothing…" I said smiling as Mike popped the trunk as I reached into the back seat grabbing my carry-on bag, then went and grabbed my suitcase out of the trunk before Mike slammed it shut.
"I'll take your bags up…" Alex said reaching for Mike's bags.
"Thanks…can you walk them to their room for me?" Mike asked as Alex looked to Maryse and I.
"No problem at all…" Alex said.
"Thanks…night Maryse." Mike said hugging and kissing my older sister, I looked away so I didn't have to see that and when I looked back Mike scooped me into a hug, "Night Addie." Mike said.
"Night…" I said as he broke the hug.
"Night baby!" Maryse said as Mike walked around the car climbing in to go park it as Alex walked between Maryse and I up to our floor, he then walked behind us to our room.
"Thanks Alex." I said as Maryse unlocked the door with the key.
"No problem…" Alex said smiling as he started to walk past us to go to his room.
"Alex, your jacket…" I said starting to take it off.
"Keep it for now, I know where you live…" Alex said winking and smiled before he continued on his way before I went into the room Maryse and I were sharing shutting the door behind me rolling my bag aside and tossed my bag down. I took Alex's jacket off laying it on the bed for I won't forget to hang it up before I went to bed.
"I'm so tired…" I said plopping down on the bed.
"You better get used to this…" Maryse said as she plopped down beside me where our heads were next to each others.
"I will, soon I hope…."
"Plus, I think you may still have jet lag from your flight from France."
"Duh, I just flew in today…" I said giving my sister a dirty look.
"You said you drew me new ring attire."
"Yeah…" I said sitting up and went to my bag pulling it out, I brought it back to the bed with me showing her and explaining how I saw it.
"It looks and sounds amazing, I would love this…" Maryse said running her hand over the drawing.
"Great, Claudia said this would be my first project." I said excitedly running back to my bag putting it up.
"I'm going to go get ready for bed…" Maryse said as she got up heading to the bathroom when I heard her scream, I got up running around the corner joining her in the bathroom.
"What?" I asked scared from her screaming.
"Spider!" Maryse said pointing to this brown spider that was not a daddy long leg.
"Do something!" I said as Maryse took her shoe off throwing it at the spider getting the spider only to move closer to us, we both squealed and jumped back a few steps huddling together. I called Mike telling him to get down here and quick. Mike came into our door no more than 5 minutes later.
"What's wrong?" Mike asked concerned as Alex walked in behind him concerned as well.
"Spider." I said pointing to it when relief came over Mike and Alex.
"Really?...Really?" Mike asked looking from me to Maryse.
"Just kill it Mike!" Maryse said as we walked out of the bathroom letting Mike kill it with Maryse's shoe.
"Addie, it's Mr. Brown spider…" Mike said chasing me around the room until he pinned me in the corner.
"Mike, leave her alone…" Alex said grabbing Mike on the shoulder.
"We're just having fun, jeez Alex…" Mike said as he walked past Alex to wipe the spider off, Alex offered his hand helping me stand up from my squat position I was in.
"Thanks…here's your jacket…" I said handing him the jacket I had laid across the bed earlier.
"Thanks…" Alex said smiling as he held his jacket in his hands.
"Come on Alex, next time call us when it's something really important…" Mike said.
"Sorry pumpkin…" Maryse said as she kissed Mike.
"Night Alex…" I said to Alex before he turned around to face me.
"Night Addie…" Alex said smiling before he turned back around heading to the door Maryse held open, "Night…" Alex said to Maryse before he walked out of the room only to hear Alex say "Come on pumpkin, let's go to bed…."
"Shut up Alex…" Mike said as we both laughed before Maryse shut the door.
"Now, it's bed time…" Maryse said as she went into the bathroom washing off her make-up as I quickly changed into my pajamas while she was busy then did the same. Maryse and I climbed into the single bed after we plugged our phones in and set our alarms for the morning.
"Good night Maryse." I said before I snuggled with the blanket that I had gotten when we separated the blankets, which we had to do since we were both bed hogs.
"Night Addie." Maryse said as she turned the light off on her side
