I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Maryse's Point of View-
I sat on the couch beside my boyfriend, checking my phone every minute to see if my sister has called or texted me. It has been 2 hours since I tried calling her and a half hour since either Mike or I had texted her.
"Where is she?" Mike asked, I knew he was a worried type and he was getting mad as well that she wasn't returning anything but I think it was more worry than anything.
"She will be home, it's only 10 PM Mike." I said trying to calm him but I was worried myself when we heard the front door finally unlocking knowing it must be Adora since we both noticed she had took the spare key. When the door opened, we both stood up and I followed Mike out to the door way seeing my sister wearing the red cocktail dress she had made for me, I could tell something was up because she was smiling.
"Where have you been? I have been worried sick! Why didn't you return our calls or texts?" Mike asked being furious.
"My phone was off, I'm sorry…." Adora said.
"You could of still given us a call…you don't just leave without telling us where your going, you know how many sick people are out there, especially in LA….where were you?" Mike asked.
"I went to a movie then went to dinner…" Adora said as I could tell she was lying.
"Alone? You don't just leave without telling us, at least update us….you are new to LA, you need to go out with someone that knows LA because LA is a big city compared to where you came from, you could of gotten lost."
"I took a cab…"
"Who cares if you took a cab…next time you need to call us and just because your 25 years old doesn't mean you can just run around like you own this place….Maryse and I are here to watch over you and you can't just not follow our rules."
"What rules?" Adora asked.
"Mike, she's sorry and let's go to bed and deal with this in the morning…" I said stepping in.
"No, she was late and ignored our texts and calls…."
"You can't punish me…." Adora said.
"That we can't, you understand you were wrong and your sorry…good night Adora, we will discuss this in the morning." I said pushing Mike towards the stairs even though he was fighting against me.
"Maryse, you going to ignore this?"
"Mike, it's her first night in LA, let her have fun and explore….she didn't get hurt nor did she hurt anyone…." I said as I shut the door behind us.
"I'm still mad at her….she can't do this every night, she needs to learn that…."
"Mike, she knows….she is my sister, she won't do it again…" I said as Mike went into the bathroom area brushing his teeth as I went out onto the porch that we had enjoying the night breeze and looking at the moon when I heard noises coming from the bushes below. I looked down seeing a figure climbing over the fence. 'Oh my god, someone is going to break into our house….' I thought to myself as I ducked down trying to hide but yet have a clear view of such person. I watched as they sat there, they leant forward swinging the other leg behind them hearing the back door below me open.
"Alex? Alex where are you?" I heard Adora ask below me, 'Alex Riley?' I thought as I looked back seeing Alex falling over the wall seeing his face instantly knowing it was Alex and I couldn't help but exclaim 'I knew it!' in my head. "Oh my god, Alex! What happened?" Adora asked running up to Alex watching them from where I was.
"I couldn't open the gate so I jumped the fence." Alex explained sitting up rubbing at his neck as I stood up.
"I told you it was hard to get into." Adora said
"Hard to get into? It's impossible." Alex said.
"Sh! Mike and Maryse are in their room….and you don't need them hearing you, come on." Adora said as I knew then that she has been planning on sneaking him in and that was who she was with. I couldn't help but to smile as I watch my sister leading Alex to below me and into our house. I walked back inside chuckling as I shut the sliding door and the blinds climbing into the bed.
"What's going on outside?" Mike asked.
"Nothing, was just admiring the moon." I said as I heard my sister's room door slam shut below.
"What is your sister doing down there? She has opened and closed like 2 doors…" Mike said as he headed towards our door.
"Don't worry about it, it was probably her bathroom door or something…" I said trying to get him not to go down there.
"Right…." Mike said coming back and climbed into the bed. "Night sweetie, I love you…" Mike said leaning over pressing his lips to mine.
"Night, I love you too…" I said scooting down on the bed reaching over turning my lamp off and setting my alarm for 7 AM knowing that Mike will still be asleep and that my sister won't be getting up until 8 so it'll be fun to mess with her a tad. My alarm woke me up, I turned it off before it could wake Mike. I slowly climbed out of the bed without disturbing Mike and made my way downstairs quietly as I went to my sister's door knowing that Alex must still be in there. I tried opening the door but it was locked, 'Good job sister, you learned well….' I thought to myself as I knocked on the door. "Adora! Are you awake?"
"One minute!" I heard Adora say from the other side, I pressed my ear against the door hearing whispers then a big thud.
"OW!" I heard someone exclaim inside the room.
"What was that?" I asked trying not to laugh knowing it must be Alex or Adora trying to rush to hide Alex.
"Nothing!" Adora said from the other side of the door hearing more whispers before my sister opened the door smiling and I could tell she was somewhat panicked. "Morning." Adora said.
"Morning, Mike and I are going to make breakfast, you want some?" I lied.
"No thank you…" Adora said looking back into her room then back at me.
"May I come in?"
"Why?" Adora asked eerie about letting me in.
"So we can talk about yesterday."
"I'll tell you later, I'm really tired." Adora said.
"May I at least come in to get the stuff you borrowed yesterday?" I asked.
"Um…sure, it's in the closet." Adora said hesitant as she looked back into her room before answering completely. I walked into her room seeing the bathroom door shut knowing instantly that Alex must be in there, I walked into the closet grabbing my dress and my purse that was now empty. I walked back out seeing Adora holding stuff behind her back and she had her one foot trying to push something under her bed but it was still sticking out.
"May I use your bathroom?" I asked heading to the closed door.
"No, why? You have your own…"
"I really have to go, plus I think I forgot something." I said trying to think of reasons why to go in there.
"You didn't forget anything, plus you don't want to go in there, I just went poop and it still stinks."
"Adora, I share a bathroom with Mike, it can't be that bad." I said hoping she will give in.
"You can hold it."
"Adora, I have my period and I don't want…" I said knowing no man likes to hear about that, if that doesn't work, I don't know what will.
"I can't stand this anymore." Alex said as I heard the door behind me open.
"Morning Alex, how nice of you to finally join us. I was wondering how long it'll take for you to come out." I said without turning around and I was smiling from victory.
"Wait, you knew I was here?" Alex asked.
"How can I not know you're here? I saw your little sneaking in act last night…" I said.
"What time is it really?" Adora asked.
"7ish…I wanted to make sure he gets out of here before Mike gets up….he's still mad about yesterday and you don't need him more mad about Alex." I said.
"You're a bitch for scaring the hell out of me like that." Adora said smacking me and I smacked her back.
"What would have happened if you did oversleep?" I asked.
"We would have thought of something." Adora said.
"Well, it's done with…Alex, you want to join us for breakfast before we have to get you out of here?" I asked.
"Sure…" Alex said when I looked back at Adora momentarily then looked back at Alex seeing that he was in his tank top and boxer shorts before looking back at my sister.
"You might want to get dressed first…" I said chuckling as I headed to the door feeling my sister walking behind me letting Alex get dressed. Adora and I went into the kitchen where I started a pot of coffee where Adora was searching the cupboards. "I would think after all the trouble we had caused you would be better at sneaking people in." I said smiling glancing over at my sister.
"I would be but what can I do with an amateur like Alex." Adora said.
"What am I an amateur at?" Alex asked walking into the kitchen buttoning up his shirt with his jacket resting over his arm.
"Sneaking into peoples houses." Adora said when a smile was creeping onto her face.
"I'm no amateur at that…." Alex said buttoning the last button smiling.
"I would say you were if I was able to figure out that you snuck in." I said.
"How did you figure it out?" Alex asked curiously.
"I was out on my deck and I saw you jumping, more like falling off the fence last night…." I said.
"What do you guys want for breakfast?" Adora asked.
"I'll have whatever you have." Alex said, I rolled my eyes at his comment when I pulled down three cups to get ready for the coffee that was still brewing.
"I guess we can just have cereal." I said.
"What type do you have?" Adora asked when Alex walked over next to Adora to look in the cupboards as well.
"We have Life, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Special K, and Captain Crunch Berries." I said.
"I LOVE Captain Crunch." Alex said excitedly.
"It's in the cupboard next to the fridge." I said as Adora walked over opening it pulling down the Captain Crunch.
"What do you want sis?" Adora asked looking over at me.
"Special K." I answered as she pulled down the Special K cereal box. I pulled down three bowls from the cupboard in front of me handing Adora and Alex their bowls as Adora handed me my cereal box. I stood there pouring my cereal hearing them whisper and giggling about something, I glanced over hoping to see what they were laughing at but couldn't tell. Adora handed Alex the box before she turned around opening the fridge pulling out the milk.
"Does this have a prize?" Alex asked sticking his hand in the box feeling around.
"Alex!" Adora said smacking him a tad as he smiled as he pulled out his hand that was in the box holding the tiny whistle.
"Ooohhh, a whistle!" Alex said as he put it up to his mouth blowing the whistle.
"Sh! Mike's still asleep, you don't want him waking up now do you?" Adora said grabbing the whistle from his mouth.
"Sorry…" Alex said chuckling at how mad Adora had gotten, she sounded SO much like our mom though. Alex went to look at the back of the box, "There are games on the back…." Alex said leaning the box back so he can see the back of the box better, I rolled my eyes thinking to myself that he was just as much of a kid as Mike.
"How would we know if Mike is up?" Adora asked ignoring Alex.
"Um…" I said looking over to Adora trying to think of something seeing a bag of empty beer and soda cans, "I got it…" I said smiling as I walked around my sister and Alex grabbing the bag of cans going up stairs making a pyramid with the cans outside the door so when he walks out and knocks them over we will hear them downstairs. I walked downstairs quietly not to wake Mike and walked into the kitchen seeing Adora pouring coffee into the three cups for me as Alex was pouring milk into the bowls.
"What'd you do?" Alex asked.
"I made a pyramid of cans outside the door, so when he walks out he will knock it over." I said setting the plastic bag I have squashed into a ball onto the counter.
"You are devious…" Alex said.
"You now know where we both get it from….our mom." Adora said.
"Well, we did learn from the best." I said as we both chuckled.
"At least you guys embrace it." Alex said as he put the cap back onto the milk carton putting it back in the fridge.
"We do…" I said.
"What do you like in your coffee?" Adora asked as she looked to Alex as she was pulling down the box full of packs of sugar to use in my and her coffee.
"I use sugar too." Alex said.
"Well, okay…how many?" Adora asked as she pulled out four, two for mine and two for hers.
"3." Alex said as she grabbed three more before putting the box back into the cupboard, I started moving the bowls to the mini dining room table that we had in the kitchen that we pushed up against the wall opposing the back door that Alex snuck into last night that only had three seats to it, we purposely did it that way for we would have enough seats for Mike, Adora and myself. I sat the bowls of Captain Crunch beside each other and my Special K in front of the that didn't have a bowl in front of it. Alex was pouring the sugar into the one cup as Adora was pouring the sugar into the other cups, Adora stepped back pulling out the drawer grabbing spoons.
"Can you grab three?" I asked walking over to stand between Adora and Alex, Adora pulled out three handing me them and I walked back over to the table sliding a spoon into each bowl as I heard the clanks of the spoons hitting the edges of the cups. I walked back over grabbing my cup dropping the spoon into the sink as Alex and Adora followed in my lead as I sat down in the seat in front of my bowl of cereal setting my coffee down as Alex set his down before pulling out the chair for my sister which was cute. Adora sat down setting her coffee down as Alex sat before grabbing the box of Captain Crunch setting it on the table. "Would you like a pen?" I asked.
"Please." Alex said sheepishly, I got up heading out to the computer desk grabbing a pen bringing it back in handing it over to Alex for him to use. "Thanks."
"So, what did you guys do last night?" I asked curiously as I grabbed the spoon in my bowl scooping up some of my cereal.
"Well, I was asked to go to a runway show on behalf of WWE and Claudia yesterday…" Adora started.
"That's great…" I said eating my cereal.
"I was able to bring one guest, and Alex invited himself." Adora explained.
"I didn't invite myself…" Alex said defending himself.
"I'm jealous! Why didn't you bring me with you? I would have gone…" I said.
"I know you would have, but I think that I would have been more uncomfortable and nervous with you or Mike there when I was doing the press…"
"You did press?" I asked shocked, I got over being hurt that she didn't invite me and begun to think why she would have to be uncomfortable or nervous around her own sister.
"Yeah, I had to do the red carpet and the interviews…"
"She did great, I offered to go with her so I went…" Alex said.
"Glad you went with her…first time doing that type of stuff can be very nerve wrecking, but I hate you Alex…" I said smacking him a tad.
"Ow, sorry that I went and you didn't….you can go to the next one, that one was wow…." Alex said.
"Wow as in?" I asked.
"Wow as in, it was horribly wow…" Adora said.
"Did you take pictures?" I asked.
"Yeah…" Adora said getting up heading to her room as I pulled out my phone going onto the web.
"What are you doing?" Alex asked before he took another bite of his cereal.
"Going to WWE's website to see if they have your press photos up." I said honestly.
"If they do, let me know…" Alex said in a tone in which sounded like he was hoping they were up and excited at the chance they may but didn't want to show it.
"Will do…" I said smiling at him as I looked back at my phone seeing it as the most recent story. "It's up." I said.
"What's up?" Adora asked walking into the kitchen on her phone as well.
"Pictures of you and Alex on the red carpet yesterday." I said smiling as I went to the album on my phone going one by one of each photo, they were truly adorable pictures and it wasn't until the last one where I noticed they were holding hands with their fingers interlaced. I smiled and knew that something must have happened last night between the two of them. "Here." I said handing Alex my phone going back to the first photo letting him go through the photos when Adora handed me her phone.
"You know how to do it." Adora said as I went through the photos she took.
"These are horrible…now I'm glad you went and I didn't." I said looking to Alex.
"Thanks…Adora, have you seen these?" Alex said handing Adora my phone letting her go through the photos on WWE.
"I look horrible in these photos….how come you told me I looked beautiful and I looked like this?" Adora said.
"Adora, you looked beautiful, honestly." I said.
"Yeah Adora…" Alex said as we swapped phones to continue eating at our breakfast.
"Anyways, we left the event early and went to get some dinner." Adora said.
"Why'd you leave early?" I asked curiously.
"Well…the one model fell and we couldn't contain our laughter so it was better just for us to leave." Alex said honestly.
"Is she okay?" I asked.
"Yeah, she was fine…she got up and continued rest of the way on the run way but the fall was so comical." Adora said.
"You guys are so mean…" I said rolling my eyes at them when we ate at our breakfast, "How long are you going to be in LA?" I asked.
"Until Thursday, I'm going to go back to Florida for a day before we have to head to Oregon." Alex said.
"That was a quick trip, why don't you stay until Friday?" I asked curiously.
"I don't want to impose and I don't know much about what to do in LA." Alex said.
"How are you imposing, your like family on some level." I said as Adora stood up drinking the milk from her bowl as she headed to the sink.
"I know but still…" Alex said standing up heading to the sink with my sister as he stood besides her whispering with her and they were both giggling. I watched them closely noting their body languages as they were washing their dishes, Alex and her were both smiling, Adora will push strands of hair behind her ear even if there wasn't any that needed to be moved and he will gently nudge her. Something was telling me that they were falling for each other, if not before last night, after last night just added fuel to their flames, I couldn't help but to be happy and wait for the day that Adora or Alex comes to me telling me that they like the other or that they were dating. I enjoyed watching them interact together because I remember when Mike and I was in that awkward stage like they are in when I was drawn out of my state of mind by the ruckus of the cans upstairs crashing and making a loud commotion.
"Who the hell put these damn empty cans in front of my door?" Mike exclaimed.
"Alex go!" Adora whispered as I watched both of them running to the back door when he leant in kissing my sister on the cheek before he whispered.
"Bye Addie, bye Maryse…thanks for everything!" Alex said as he ran out the door that Adora opened and tried to quietly close the door turning to look at me with a smile as Mike turned into the kitchen.
"Whose idea was this?" Mike asked holding up one of the cans.
"Sorry Mike…" I said taking the blame exchanging glances with Adora.
"Are you sure? This seems like something that one would do." Mike said pointing to Adora.
"Nope, it was me…" I said smiling as Mike smirked and leant over pressing his lips to mine.
"Morning, good one…" Mike said as he stood up straight setting the empty can on the counter looking into the sink. "Why are there two bowls in the sink? Was there someone else here?" Mike asked.
"Uh, no…who else would be here?" I asked kind of freaking out on the inside.
"I got hungry last night and I had a bowl of ice cream." Adora said as she looked to me, I can tell she was hoping we had ice cream.
"You didn't eat rest of it did you?" Mike asked.
"No, there is still enough left." Adora said.
"Cool…" Mike said.
"I'm going to go shower and get dressed…" Adora said as she went out the exit closest to her leaving Mike and I to ourselves.
"You seem much more relaxed than last night." I said taking another bite of my cereal.
"I slept on what you were saying and I think you were right….for once." Mike said as he walked up to the table I was at grabbing the Captain Crunch box.
"Good…." I said smiling as I watched him walk back to the counters making his bowl of cereal.
"What a rip off! This box didn't come with a toy…." Mike said upset, he looked on the back and got more upset, "Who did the games on the back?" Mike asked.
"Adora likes her games…" I said chuckling and shrugging, Mike let out a groan of being upset before he made himself a cup of coffee from the left over coffee from our pot before he sat across from me.
"Did she say what she did yesterday?" Mike asked.
"I think she said she went out to some runway show…." I said trying not to mention that it was through WWE.
"Oh, why didn't she take us?" Mike asked.
"I don't know…" I said shrugging.
