I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Adora's Point of View-
Upon arrival, I climbed out of the back seat holding onto the bear and pulled my backpack onto my back watching the other three grab their suitcases. Mike and Maryse walked in front of Alex and I.
"So…what'd you guys say about me?" Alex asked.
"My mom was asking about if I made any new friends." I said playing with the edges of the bears pillow.
"She likes to keep track?" Alex asked.
"Sort of, she wants to know if I'm fitting in and the names of friends or people I know that way when she watches Raw or Smack Down she can put faces with the names."
"She'll stalk me?" Alex asked.
"You can think of it that way, she will keep tabs on you and you'll be her best friend until you and I don't hang out or you turn heel."
"Doesn't she know the storylines are fake?" Alex asked opening the door for me.
"Thanks…yeah, but it doesn't really click until she talks to Maryse or I…she will go on and on why so and so is a bad guy, what happens on every show even though we were there and explain why it's fake."
"I guess how one could get enthralled in something like this with the storylines, Lord knows I get sucked into Hawaii Five-O and Criminal Minds."
"Hawaii Five-O and Criminal Minds? I think you and I have more in common than I thought." I said smiling.
"I have Hawaii Five-O Season 1 and the first three Criminal Minds seasons."
"I think we need to have a marathon day."
"Yeah, and watch new episodes and have a discussion about it."
"Totally." I said excited about this.
"Adora!" Maryse exclaimed.
"What?" I asked turning to look at my sister.
"I have been saying your names the last five minutes and you two just ignored me." Maryse said.
"Did we?" I asked looking to Alex then back to Maryse.
"Yeah, Alex Mike wants you to grab some water for both of you." Maryse said.
"Right…I'll catch you later." Alex said.
"Okay, bye." I said as Alex slipped by Maryse and the crates, Maryse's gaze followed Alex before she looked back at me.
"You sure you two..."
"No…nothing…I got work to do…" I said as I turned heading towards the wardrobe.
"Whatever sis!" Maryse said after me. I went into the wardrobe room seeing Claudia walking around the room gathering things.
"Adora, right on time...you fill out that paperwork?" Claudia asked moving her glasses to the top of her head.
"Yep…you can call me Addie if you would like." I said as I walked in further setting my bag down in the chair I will possibly be sitting in and set the bear on the table.
"Addie, that is a lot easier than Adora…cute bear…" Claudia said looking at the bear.
"Thanks…" I said as I pulled out the paperwork handing it to her.
"Good, I have your W-2. Do you need a green card or work visa?" Claudia asked as I set my bag in the other chair so I could sit down.
"Yeah, I would need a work visa or something." I said
"I thought so, I picked up other paperwork you'll need to fill out before you leave tonight for the work visa." Claudia said handing me that paperwork along with the W-2. I reached into my bag pulling out a pen to fill out such paperwork. I started to fill it out at the best I can, there were a few questions I wanted to ask Maryse or Claudia when she wasn't busy. I figured fill out what I do know and do the questions I don't know later. I was disturbed when I heard Claudia's phone ringing, she stood up excusing herself as she walked across the room watching her do so as she answered it. "Hello?...No, I can't….can you wait until Friday?...I have the runway…" Claudia said when she looked at me, I had to pretend to act like I wasn't watching nor listening in on what she was saying even though it was hard not to listen, "I'll call you back and let you know….I may be able to work something out." Claudia said as I saw her out of the corner of my eye walk up to the table.
"Everything okay?" I asked glancing up from my paperwork.
"Not really…I'm supposed to be in LA tomorrow to represent WWE at a fashion runway but then I just got the call that they need me in Connecticut for a meeting about a new upcoming wrestler…"
"That's rough." I said not knowing what to say.
"Where are you going to live?" Claudia asked.
"In LA with Mike and Maryse, why?" I asked looking up yet again.
"How would you like to go to the runway for me? I can change the name to you and you can bring a guest." Claudia said.
"I don't know Claudia."
"Please! You'll be able to help me big time, I can't back out.."
"Fine, I'll do it…"
"Thank you!" Claudia exclaimed hugging me, "As for the press, if you don't know what to answer say 'no comment' or speak really good about the company. Dress to impress, you will be representing WWE so look your best."
"Will do." I said as she got up pulling out her phone and walked out of the room talking on her phone, probably trying to make arrangements about tomorrow. I was nervous and scared about the press because every time I went to one of these events Mike and Maryse did the press line and I skipped it all together. I heard the door open again thinking it was Claudia, "Claudia, as for tomorrow…I don't think I can do it…." I said as I then looked over seeing Alex, "Your not Claudia."
"Far from it...how's the job going" Alex asked.
"More paperwork, you want to help?" I asked.
"What's going on tomorrow firstly?" Alex asked as he sat down in Claudia's seat, I put my pen down and leant back.
"I'm filling in for Claudia at some runway event thing in LA, she said there is a plus one pass."
"Sounds fun, what's the problem? You like fashion, you live in LA…"
"The press…never been on camera nor done interviews, plus I don't know if Maryse or Mike will go without the other. Plus I think either one of them would make me more nervous than they will be helpful when doing the press."
"What if I went with you?" Alex suggested.
"I can't have you do that, you need to go home…" I said tugging at my long sleeve shirt in a nervous manner, even though I would enjoy Alex going but I couldn't let him do that.
"But I want to go…will I make you more nervous?"
"No, but I don't want you to feel like I'm imposing on you…" I said feeling bad about it when Claudia came in holding the two passes.
"They had sent them to me, here they are so don't lose them…hey Alex." Claudia said.
"Hey." Alex said standing up.
"I got to go catch a flight, you think you can handle tonight?" Claudia asked, I was nervous and scared to say yes but I needed her to feel that she can trust me.
"No problem, what about the paperwork?" I asked.
"Hand it in to Daniel in human services, Alex you know who that is?" Claudia asked.
"Yeah I know Daniel."
"Alright…" I said as Claudia headed out of the room after she grabbed all her belongings.
"I'll text you all the information, thanks Addie, your really a life saver." Claudia said before she closed the door. "What do you need?" I asked.
"Two of Mike's shirts." Alex said as I stood up going through the crates finding the custom shirts tossing two to Alex. "Thanks, and I will take one of these." Alex said grabbing one of the passes that Claudia gave me that I had set on the table.
"Alex!" I said.
"Don't fight with me, I'm going to escort you, so no ands, or nors, or buts about it." Alex said smiling.
"Fine, do whatever but you can't let Mike nor Maryse know."
"I won't…" Alex said as he pretended to zip his mouth shut.
"Don't be late and please dress nicely." I said worried.
"Addie, I've done press before, I got it." Alex said smiling.
"What about Florida?"
"Don't worry, I got it." Alex said smiling as he walked out of the room happily carrying the pass with him.
"I'm dead meat." I said sitting down running my hands through my hair, I spent rest of the night working on Maryse's new attire and helping those that came in, it wasn't that bad for a taping. I got up heading out of the room for a few moments, I headed to catering to grab some water since I was thirsty when I heard a voice singing 'Your so hypnotizing…' I followed the voice to where Alex was standing at the gorilla position stretching his arms, Mike was further down the hall talking to a tech person. "I thought you didn't like that song." I said when he turned around to look at me, I smiled laughing at him.
"I don't..." He said smirking.
"Keep telling yourself that." I said smiling as I walked past him.
"Do not!" He exclaimed.
"Do too!" I said turning around to look at him one more time before I went into the locker room to use the bathroom seeing Maryse leaning against the wall chatting with the twins, I could never tell them apart but I won't tell them that.
"Hey Adora, why aren't you working?" Maryse asked.
"I was thirsty and had to pee, if that's okay with you sister?" I said sarcastically.
"No, get back to work…use a bucket." Maryse said.
"Whatever….hey Nikki, hey Brie!" I said.
"Hey Addie." They said in unison, I went into the bathroom doing my business and washed my hands before I headed back to wardrobe seeing Evan standing near the table looking at the bear on the table.
"Hey Evan, what'd you need?" I asked walking around him setting my bottle of water down.
"Just need the sleeves cut off, I found the shirt myself." Evan said handing me his shirt.
"Simple." I said grabbing the scissors I was using putting them on my hand comfortably on my right hand before snipping off the sleeves for him "There we go." I said smiling holding up the shirt.
"Thanks, your working here now?" Evan asked grabbing his shirt holding onto it.
"You can say that."
"Is that a yes?" Evan asked, I smiled pushing my bangs out of my eyes, "I take that as a yes…" Evan said as he smiled before walking out happily. It was a long boring taping just awaiting time to leave. Every time the door opened, I was excited but got disappointed every time it wasn't Maryse, Mike or Alex, it was that boring. The one time I decided not to look at the door, it was Alex.
"You having fun yet?" Alex asked, I looked up to see him.
"Much." I said chuckling.
"Well, come on, we got to catch Daniel before he leaves and Mike is heading to get Maryse." Alex said.
"Alright, let me pack up." I said as I put up all the items up properly and threw Maryse's new attire into my bag to work on over the break.
"You brought the bear in?" Alex asked picking up the bear holding it.
"Yeah, it helped me through my first day."
"Did he?" Alex asked handing it to me.
"Yep, thanks for giving me him."
"No problem." Alex said as I followed him out of the room and took me to Daniel's office, Alex opened the door without knocking. "Hey Daniel, Adora has paperwork for you." Alex said pointing to me with his thumb.
"Claudia said that I was to hand it into you." I said handing him the paperwork.
"Thanks, I'll give you your badge Friday, and your visa would come in through the mail." He said flipping through the paperwork.
"Thanks Daniel." I said shaking his hand before Alex, we walked out heading to find Mike and Maryse.
"Your so hypnotizing…could you be the devil…"
"Could you be an angel." I finished smiling.
"I hate you."
"No you don't."
"Your right, I don't." Alex said smiling as we found Mike and Maryse heading to the car.
"What time is our flight tomorrow?" I asked as we met up with them at the car.
"8 AM." Maryse said.
"What about you Alex?" I asked.
"8:45, I'll make it." Alex said subtly.
"If you don't, your dumber than I thought." Mike said not understanding the meaning of it.
"Than I thought too." Alex said chuckling, I played nervously with the bears ear about tomorrow.
"What'swrong?" Maryse asked.
"Nothing." I lied as we got to the hotel. I climbed out grabbing my suitcase walking with Alex into the hotel because Mike and Maryse were talking longer than usual. "Your phone number?" I asked pulling out my phone.
"Right…" Alex said pulling out his phone exchanging numbers when Mike and Maryse walked in giggling.
"Finally." I joked.
"Perfection takes time." Mike said in response.
"You still need time." I mumbled as Alex and I laughed as well as Maryse. Mike jumped on me giving me a noogie.
"What'd you say?" Mike asked.
"Nothing!" I exclaimed trying to push him off.
"That's what I thought." Mike said as him and Alex got in line checking us in. We went up to our room, we stood outside Maryse and my room, Alex grabbed my hand moving us away from Maryse and Mike as we stood aside as they begun hugging and kissing their good-nights.
"What color are you going to wear tomorrow?" Alex asked.
"Don't know yet…just wear a black suit and white shirt, it'll match anything."
"Okay."
"You sure you want to go?" I asked.
"Yes, it'll be a privilege, and I already have my ticket to the event and a plane ticket." Alex said smiling as Mike walked up to us.
"Come on Alex." Mike said.
"Night." I said smiling as I headed back to where Maryse stood.
"Night ladies." Alex said as he walked with Mike to their room, Mayse and I went into our room setting our stuff aside except the bear that I held onto as I climbed into the bed.
"What are you and Alex up to?" Maryse asked.
"Nothing." I said lying to my sister.
"Riiight….I will figure it out soon enough." Maryse said, I knew she wasn't stupid but I won't spill the beans, not yet at least. I cuddled with the bear trying not to think of all the things that could go wrong tomorrow. "Adroa….Adora…" Maryse said taunting me.
"It's nothing Maryse…" I said getting agitated.
"You can't hide it from me forever….I'll find out sooner or later." Maryse said, odds are she will and I don't doubt it. I fell asleep with the teddy bear squeezed close to me.
