I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Alex's Point of View-
I sat across from Adora in the back seat, I was looking out the window then would look over at her seeing her do the same thing until I felt my eyes getting heavier even though I was fighting to stay awake. I ended up falling asleep with my head resting against the headrest behind me that was shorter than I was, I was awoken within what felt like no more than five minutes later but it must have been more than five minutes because now Adora was resting against me dead asleep shivering as I realized just how cold it was. I then slowly and gently moved her to where I was able to pull my jacket off wrapping it around her as well as part of me to keep both of us warm before I leant my head against hers falling back asleep in the cold backseat.
"Guys, we're here…" Maryse said as I woke up seeing the sun starting to come up, I looked around seeing that we were in a parking lot of some hotel. "Adora!" Maryse said as she started shaking her sisters knee getting her to slowly wake up, somehow she ended up getting my entire jacket instead of both of us sharing it and I didn't mind. "Morning sleepy head, we are at the hotel…" Maryse said as Adora finally realized what she said when she looked over at me jumping back some.
"What?" I asked.
"Don't what me…" She said.
"I didn't what you….you should be thanking me."
"For what?"
"Giving you my jacket and letting you sleep on my shoulder." I said.
"Here's your damn jacket and I didn't ask you to do such things…" Adora said climbing out of the car before tossing my jacket back in slamming the door.
"What the hell was that about?" Maryse asked, I just shrugged as I looked out the back window only seeing the trunk door that Mike had opened before he went into the hotel as Maryse was waking us up. I climbed out of the car about the same time as Maryse, I shut my door seeing Adora already heading into the hotel and I think I knew what has gotten to her, I was mentally smacking myself in the head.
Adora's Point of View-
I stormed into the hotel seeing Mike at the counter checking us in, he turned around after picking up the two key holders off the counter heading towards me.
"Morning Addie….here's your and Maryse's key, room 345." Mike said as I could tell that he was extremely tired, I felt bad for falling asleep on him but luckily Maryse was there to keep him company.
"Thanks Mike, you going to be okay? You look tired…"
"I have a few hours to catch some sleep before my signing…don't worry about me…" Mike said smiling.
"But I do, which I don't know why I do…"
"I don't know either…" Mike said as he walked past me heading to the doors, I headed to the elevators and up to my and Maryse's room knowing that he had the spare key and that he will let Maryse in. When I got into our room, I rolled my suitcase aside and set my bag down beside it before I spread out onto the one bed getting comfortable until I heard the door opening.
"Adora?" Maryse asked.
"I'm here…" I said from the bed, I heard the door shut and the locks being locked.
"Okay, making sure you made it…." Maryse said as she finally emerged from the doorway. "I know your going back to bed, I know I'm at least going to get some sleep because I'm tired from not getting any sleep last night, what time do you want to get up?"
"What time is Mike's signing?" I asked not turning around, I didn't want to say Alex's name especially what happened earlier in the car, I was surprised that she wasn't questioning me about it or prying information out.
"1-3." Maryse answered.
"Noon." I said as I heard her set the alarm on her phone, I fell asleep in that position not caring that I didn't have a pillow under my head or not. Maryse and I slept until her phone was chiming loud enough to wake both of us up, she rolled over turning it off and I slowly sat up wiping my face.
"Get enough sleep?" Maryse asked as I looked over at my sister who was laying on her back looking at me.
"Nah, still getting over the jet lag and the time zones." I said.
"No one ever gets used to the time zones, especially in this company." Maryse said.
"I guess, you should know." I said as I got up, I went to my suitcase grabbing new pair of clothes heading into the bathroom taking a nice long shower washing off all the dirt and felt clean again before I got dressed and let my sister into the bathroom to take her shower as I begun to do minor things in the main room to get ready until she got out. When the door opened and she walked out, "How are we going to get around if Alex and Mike has the car for their signing?" I asked.
"If you would have walked in with us, you would of heard that they were getting a limo and Mike gave me the car keys…" Maryse said.
"Oh…we just got to be back in time before the show." I said as I got up going into the bathroom after I got my shoes on doing my hair, it wasn't anything special like the other days because I wasn't feeling like doing anything that special. Maryse came in a few moments later joining me as we did our hair, make-up and other essentials before we headed out. "Ready?" I asked.
"Yeah, are you?" Maryse asked as we both gave ourselves one more look over.
"Yep…"
"You going out looking like that?" Maryse asked.
"What's wrong with this?" I asked.
"Your representing WWE now, get more presentable." Maryse said as I went out putting on a new outfit re-doing my hair and made myself better presentable, "Better, let's go." Maryse said as we walked out of the room making sure we had everything mainly the hotel room key before we headed down to the lobby and out to the car.
"What first? Lunch or the spa?" I asked.
"Spa, that way our nails can dry by the time we eat and by the time we hit the show." Maryse said as we sat in the car as she searched the GPS that her and Mike bring along with them on tour, it has come in handy very much. She found one that is a branch of the one she trusts back in LA before she started the car and headed towards that nail salon. Maryse parallel parked the car in front of the salon, we walked in and took to two open stations next to each other, we sat down in the comfortable chairs putting our feet into the soaking bucket things as our technicians worked on our hands. "What else did Hunter have to say?" Maryse asked.
"He was asking about school…asking if I wanted to wrestle."
"He needs to keep dreaming."
"Why does everyone assume since we are half sisters that I would want to follow you?" I asked.
"Because I'm successful at this."
"And that will make me successful?"
"Maybe…you won't know…you need to at least learn how to take a bump in case."
"Why? In case what? What will happen?" I asked.
"I don't know." Maryse said shrugging as my nail technician begun to file my nails, "What was up between you and Alex earlier?" Maryse asked, I knew she would ask at some point. I rolled my eyes and looked the other way.
"It's nothing." I said.
"It's something, I know that tone and what I saw wasn't a nothing."
"I think he's mad at me or something…."
"This morning it seemed like you were mad at him….why do you think he's mad at you?"
"You know yesterday when I said I was going to go eat in catering?"
"Yeah, what about it?" Maryse asked as I picked a pearly blue polish that the technician was holding up for my nails.
"While I was eating, Zack joined me."
"I bet you were excited…"
"Yeah, I have missed Zack….anyway, Alex came into catering to eat, I called him over but he ignored me."
"Ignored as in?" Maryse asked.
"Ignored as in he didn't even acknowledge me…"
"Maybe he didn't hear you…"
"He heard me, he glanced over at me then stiffened up and looked back ahead of him, I called him again, but that time he just rolled his eyes." I said.
"Zack do anything?"
"No….I don't know what I did…."
"I don't know either, have you talked to him about it?" Maryse asked.
"Did it seem like we talked about it?"
"No, do you plan on talking to him?"
"Not until I figure out what I did to make him mad so I can at least give him an honest apology." I said.
"You won't know unless if you talk to him and ask." Maryse said.
"She's right." My nail technician said as I begun to blow on the nails she just finished.
"Thank you." Maryse said.
"What would I say though? 'Hey, why are you mad at me?'"
"Not like that." Maryse said.
"How then?" I asked looking over at my sister.
"Just don't come right out and say it…."
"What if he doesn't talk to me?"
"He'll talk to you." Maryse said confidently.
"If he likes you, he will." My nail technician said.
"He's mad at me, then he won't talk to me. Why is it a big deal if we talk or not? Tomorrow is our last day on tour." I said.
"Not only tomorrow, what about next weekend or the weekend after that?"
"By next weekend, this would have at least blown over and I can then ask him."
"Fine, you're an adult now, I'll let you deal with it." Maryse said, which is odd because she is always in my business and trying to protect me, if it wasn't her it would be Mike.
"Thank you…I may have you be working with me during the break on your new attire."
"I'm all yours…"
"Okay…" I said smiling as we enjoyed and relaxed rest of the time at the spa before we walked down to the bank opening me an account depositing my Euro dollars to US dollars. We walked out going to the café next door grabbing a coffee and a sandwich or fruit salad eating it before we drove back to the hotel.
"There is three hours until we need to be at the arena…" Maryse said.
"Okay…." I said.
"What are you going to do until then?"
"Nap probably, catch up on this damn jet lag…." I said.
"Alright, I'm going to go see Mike and Alex to ask how the signing went and get out of your hair." Maryse said.
"Okay, don't forget the key…" I said as I made sure she grabbed her phone and key before she headed to the door. "Love you." I said.
"Love you too." Maryse said as I heard the door shut after her, I couldn't lock it because if I did she wouldn't be able to get back in.
Maryse's Point of View-
I shut the door behind me knowing my sister would soon be fast asleep, I expected this because she is always like this when she flies in from France. I headed down to Mike and Alex's room knocking on the door knowing they must be back already. I wanted to know what is going on between Alex and my sister even though I told her I will stay out of it but I am mad that he would flat out ignore my sister like that. Mike opened the door smiling as he stepped aside letting me in.
"How'd your girls day go?" Mike asked.
"Great, did some bonding. Where's Alex?" I asked noticing that he wasn't there and the bathroom door wasn't closed.
"Down at the gym, he said he is trying to work off the tired and get energy for tonight's show. Where is Addie?"
"Napping…how was the signing?" I asked sitting down, Mike sat down beside me on the bed staring at the television that was on basketball.
"Long, it was a big turn out…Alex seemed kind of overwhelmed."
"Did he mention anything about Adora to you?" I asked curiously.
"No, why? Should he of?" Mike asked confused.
"I was talking to Adora today, she said that he is mad at her."
"Psh, why does she think that?" Mike asked standing up going to his suitcase.
"She was in catering eating with Zack, Alex walked in and he ignored her."
"Doesn't mean he's mad."
"What makes you think that?" I asked now confused.
"He could be jealous."
"Jealous?" I asked.
"Of Zack, like you wouldn't be? The tan, the looks, the swag….I can go on why one would be jealous of him." Mike said as I thought about it a little while realizing he was right.
"Your right, thanks Mike." I said standing up hugging and kissing him before I was heading to the door.
"Your welcome, where you going?" Mike asked as I opened the door.
"The gym to talk to Alex."
"Don't you think you shouldn't get in the middle of this?" Mike asked putting his hand on his hips, I know he is right and I know that I told Adora that I wouldn't but I have to.
"Yeah, but doesn't mean that I won't…" I said smiling as I walked out heading to the elevator taking it down to the gym. I followed the signs in the lobby as I walked off the elevator going to the gym that the hotel had, I stood in the doorway staring across the empty gym that contained three to four people seeing Alex across the gym on a weight machine. I walked through the gym over to him while he is on the weight machine standing in front of him smacking him right across the face.
"Ow! What was that for?" Alex asked dropping the weight and held the side of his face that I just smacked.
"I should smack you again."
"For what? I don't know why you slapped me the first time." Alex said.
"That was for ignoring my sister, no one ever ignores my sister except if they have a really good reason or they are me." I said using my pointing finger for emphasis then put my hands on my hips, Alex stood up from the machine walking towards another machine and I followed him.
"I didn't want to."
"But you did….she thinks your mad at her, I don't blame her after this morning and hearing about this…"
"Sorry." Alex said honestly.
"Don't say that to me, you have to tell her. What came over you?" I asked waiting to hear it from him.
"I saw her with Zack and I…."
"And you?"
"I got jealous of him…" Alex said as I then smacked him yet again, "Quit smacking me." Alex said.
"That was for thinking my sister would date a guy like…I can't say it….Zack Ryder, ew….I would never let that happen…that is NOT the type of guy she likes…"
"So…"
"So, you made an ass out of yourself…and I honestly don't know why you would get jealous unless if…" I said when it hit me that he has a crush on my sister.
"No! Whatever your thinking, no…" Alex said in a panic mode, he was shaking his head no and waving his hands in front of him in a no type way.
"How do you know what I am thinking?" I asked trying not to be too excited.
"That look says it all." Alex said pointing at me.
'Then say it?" I said hoping he does.
"I think I may like your sister, I don't know what it is about her but I do." He said covering his face and flinched.
"I'm not going to hit you…" I said as he let out a sigh of relief putting his hands down when I slapped him again.
"You said you weren't going t hit me." Alex said.
"I lied, that was for being stupid and for you to remember not to ever treat her like that again. My sister needs to be treated like the women she is, respected, and with politeness. You need to fix this, I promised both Adora and Mike I won't butt in, but I just had to because you're an ass…"
"What if I don't fix this?" Alex asked as I leant forward leaving mere inches between our faces.
"You think my hand hurts? Imagine how much pain Mike can cause or even my fist?" I whispered before I headed out of the gym letting him think about it.
