I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Adora's Point of View-
I was being held in Alex's embrace smiling from the two mini-kisses we had exchanged before Mike slid between us breaking us apart.
"Outside, both of you…it's a little too hot in here isn't it We are leaving, I can't believe you Alex…come on…" Mike said angrily grabbing Alex pushing him towards the door to leave.
"Mike! What is the matter?" I asked as I was getting mad and upset at Mike for the way he was acting, Maryse grabbed my arm walking with me outside watching Mike to make sure he didn't do anything stupid.
"Alex, what was that about? I thought I told you that she was off limits." Mike said pissed.
"I am not off limits, I am a grown adult and I can like him and he can like me." I said walking over standing between the two men.
"Addie, get in the car…you and him are not allowed to like each other…I will NOT allow you two to date." Mike said.
"You can't tell me what to do Mike…" I said as tears were stinging my eyes.
"Addie, just get in the car, I'll deal with this…" Alex said as I felt his strong soft hands rest on my shoulders, I turned around to face Alex.
"Alex, you don't have to…"
"I want to, just get in the car…Maryse, please…" Alex said, I could tell he was just as upset and angry as I was but knew he wanted to keep his manliness in check by standing up for me, for us and wanted to show Mike that what we had was real.
"Come on Addie, let the two men fight like the cavemen they are." Maryse said as she dragged me to the backseat, I was trying to fight against her but I couldn't fight against my sister. Maryse closed the door walking back up to them, luckily I knew how to read lips after years of practice and thanks to wrestling training I had to learn how. "Mike, what the fuck is wrong with you? Leave Alex alone, Addie was having a good time and it was just one dance…."
"They kissed Maryse, a kiss means more than just a dance." Mike said.
"I'm sorry okay?" Alex said.
"He's sorry?" I thought out loud.
"We'll discuss this in the morning, get in the car both of you." Mike said still pissed as I scooted over letting Alex climb into the back seat with me. "Alex, in the front seat, I don't want you and Addie alone in the back seat."
"You got to be kidding me." Alex said.
"Do I look like I'm kidding?" Mike asked.
"Just do it Alex." Maryse said as she walked past Alex climbing into the backseat with me. I pulled out my phone texting Alex wanting to know if he was truly sorry about the kiss. 'Are you sorry about the kiss?' I texted him putting my phone down, Alex pulled out his phone and read it, he looked back at me shaking his head no. I couldn't help the smile that was creeping on my face when that happened, I put my phone up and couldn't help but to be happy from tonight. When we got back to the hotel, Mike kept Alex away from me as we walked up to our room. We stood outside mine and Maryse's room and they kept walking.
"Night ladies." Mike said.
"Night…." Alex said turning around smiling before Mike unlocked their door pushing him inside, Maryse pulled me into our room and I had mixed feelings right now. I was happy because I think now more than ever that Alex truly likes me but I was mad and upset at Mike for not letting us be together.
"Will you talk to Mike about Alex and I?" I asked.
"Do I need to?" Maryse asked me.
"You saw the way he treated Alex today, I mean, is he going to do that to anyone I kiss?" I asked curiously as I begun untying my shoe.
"I will talk to him if you truly like Alex….did that kiss mean anything?"
"Yes…I think me and Alex like each other." I said smiling as it left my lips.
"I'll see what I can do." Maryse said smiling.
"Thanks…" I said smiling hoping that Maryse could convince Mike to let Alex and I date, I mean he may be just over re-acting to us kissing right now because I can see how that can be a shocker, to Maryse it probably wasn't that big of a surprise and she has always been supportive about this whole Alex and I thing. My phone vibrated and I opened it seeing a text from Alex saying 'Good night Addie.' I wrote back saying the same thing and put it on the phone charger. I changed into a pair of pajamas before climbing into the bed falling asleep as a happy girl. The next morning, I woke up to my phone alerting me that there was a text message.
"Who is texting you at 10 AM?" Maryse asked rolling over to look at me.
"No one…" I lied as I reached my phone seeing a text from Alex smiling as I read it and texted him back, I couldn't go back to sleep. Maryse and I got up going out to breakfast before we went to the movies and I went with her to the gym for her to work out before the show tonight.
"Are you ever going to put that phone down?" Maryse asked as she laced up her shoes.
"Huh? Oh…yeah…" I said shaking my head out of my trance.
"You have been sucked into your phone all day…"
"Sorry Maryse, Alex has been texting all day…"
"I'm surprised Mike has let him…"
"What's that supposed to mean? You don't want us together either?"
"No, I didn't say that…I'm just saying Mike was really upset last night and I'm surprised he is so calm about Alex texting you…"
"Mike probably doesn't know…" I said as I twisted a strand of hair around my finger nervously as I joined my sister in the gym doing cardio and tried my best at the weights not responding to any of Alex's texts before Maryse and I hit the showers and met them at the arena.
"Just remember, whatever you do, do not let Mike catch you with Alex until he calms down about last night, please?" Maryse asked.
"I'll try…" I said smirking.
"I want to seriously talk to you tonight, without you being attached to that phone…"
"Alright…" I said smiling as I went into Daniel's office clocking in for the night heading to the wardrobe room pulling out a pair of kneepads and a pair of boots for Drew and Jack when they came in later tonight. I dug through my bag pulling out Maryse's jacket pulling it onto the dummy before I grabbed some sewing material to work on this jacket when the door opened. I glanced back seeing Alex sneaking into the room. "What are you doing here?" I whispered.
"Why are you whispering?" Alex asked.
"I don't know…I'm sorry about Mike…"
"He is very protective of you…I was expecting a lot worse…he did yell at me…"
"Sorry…if you don't want to go out with me because of him, it's okay…" I said a little depressed as I set the needle down and turning back to the jacket.
"Did I say that?" Alex asked.
"No, but I mean, Mike isn't going to like this one bit…"
"I don't care what Mike thinks or wants…what I want is to be with you, he can't keep us separated…" Alex said as I looked over my shoulder smiling.
"What do you have in mind?" I asked turning around.
"Tomorrow is Mike and Maryse's date night, why don't we have a little date night ourselves? I have the movies, we can order pizza and chill in one of our rooms?" Alex asked.
"He won't know either…" I said smiling.
"No he won't…" Alex said, I walked over to him wrapping my arms around him for a big hug before I broke from his embrace and even though I wanted to give him a kiss, I didn't want to push it and I was worried of who was going to walk in.
"Do you need Mike's shirts?" I asked curiously.
"No…I should get back before he comes to find me…" Alex said smirking.
"Yeah, that is for the best…" I said smiling as he went to walk out, and the door flung open without him knowing because he was too busy looking at me and when he turned around he went bam right into the now open door. I covered my mouth trying not to laugh, "Are you okay?" I asked concerned.
"Yeah, fine…" He said as he covered the one side of his face walking out of the room embarrassed when Drew walked in.
"Is he okay?" Drew asked.
"I hope so…" I said as I walked over to the table picking up his kneepads handing them to him.
"Thanks…I'll return them after the show…"
"You can hang onto them over the weekend, just return them Monday night before you leave…" I said.
"Sounds good…" Drew said as he walked back out carrying the pads with him and I went back to Maryse's jacket excited about my date tomorrow night with Alex, that is the only thing that got me through the night and I knew tonight will just get longer because we had to drive the hour or two to the next city for tomorrows show. Alex and I tried to make as little contact with each other when Mike was around so he won't freak out anymore than he was. Maryse and I climbed into the backseat letting Alex sit in the front, I personally wasn't that tired so I knew I will be up the whole drive as I watched Maryse and Alex fall asleep.
"Addie, you still up?" Mike asked glancing back at me through the rearview mirror.
"Yeah…but don't expect me to talk to you…" I said crossing my arms over my chest.
"I don't know why your mad at me…just trying to look out for you…why do you even want to date Alex? I mean, why not date Hunter?"
"Hunter is married, plus he's not my type…"
"Married, right….what about Dustin Runnels?"
"Ew! No! Plus, he's married too…" I said grossed out.
"Um…why not Jerry Lawler? Or Jim Ross? No, what about Michael Cole, better yet, Josh Matthews?"
"Are you kidding me Mike?"
"No, they are all great men, perfect for you and they have money to take care of you with…"
"And Alex doesn't?" I asked.
"Alex is a newbie, he has years ahead of him and he can get injured…"
"And you can't or they can't? Face it Mike, I will NEVER date any of those people that you hope that I would date…they are NOT idea for me…" I said as I looked out the window.
"Just give them a chance, you may like them."
"Jim Ross? Really?"
"Yes…" Mike said seriously.
"You need some sleep, and bad…" I said not believing he would want to set me up with them. I stayed up with him until we arrived to the hotel and he went on to why each person that he had named would be good for me even if I didn't like the option. Maryse and I went up to our room and the moment I closed the door, "You have to talk to Mike…he wants to set me up with Jim Ross Maryse, JIM ROSS!" I said as she just laughed, "I'm not joking…"
"I'll talk to him Addie." Maryse said as I got ready for bed and laid in bed getting sleep before we had to get up for the show. We drove over to the arena, I went straight to catering to grab some food seeing Hunter in there with Stephanie and their children.
"Aw, you brought the children with you…" I said excitedly as I went in picking up the youngest daughter who was still a baby.
"Hello to you too…" Stephanie said.
"Hi Stephanie, how are you?" I asked as I gave her an one handed hug as I gently and slowly sat down across from Hunter holding the baby.
"Good…how are you?" Stephanie asked.
"Good, besides fighting with Mike like always…"
"About what now?" Hunter asked.
"Who I want to date…" I said as I was playing with the tiny baby.
"Why are you guys fighting about that?" Stephanie asked.
"He is all bent out of shape because Alex and I kissed, I like Alex and Alex likes me but he doesn't want us to date…he would rather me date, what was my options? Hunter, Dustin, Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler, Michael Cole or Josh Matthews…seriously, help me…" I said.
"What's wrong with me?" Hunter asked.
"Hello?" Stephanie asked.
"Oh, right…what's wrong with the other choices?" Hunter asked.
"Do you even know me Hunter?" I asked.
"Mike is just trying to look out for you…can you imagine how awkward it must be for him? His best friend dating his younger sister of sorts?" Hunter asked.
"I never thought of it that way…it just frustrating because it seems like he doesn't even know me and won't let me decide on my own." I said shrugging.
"Just think, he is trying to be a protective older brother and a good best friend…yes he can't stop both of you dating but you got to understand how awkward it must be for him and he wants to look out for you…it must have been some shocker to him to see you two kissing, he just needs time to think it over and realize that you have grown up and understand that Alex isn't that bad of a guy…" Stephanie said.
"I know…I don't want it to be awkward, I just don't want him to stop me from dating who I want and ruin what we have…I mean, what if Alex is who I'm supposed to be with…did Vince and Shane like Hunter at first?" I asked as I stood up heading over to a table grabbing food and a drink without dropping the baby.
"Who doesn't like me?" Hunter asked.
"It was awkward at first, they didn't want me to date him but if he is who you want to be with then whoever it is will have to get used to it…"
"Even Mike?" I asked.
"Mike can be a dick, but he isn't stupid….he is a nice guy and he doesn't want you to be hurt and wants the best for you, think of it that way…" Hunter said when he nodded behind me, I turned around seeing Alex who was leaning in the doorway, I smiled when we made eye contact and he waved for me to come with him.
"Catch you guys later…" I said gently laying the baby back down into her stroller before I followed Alex out of catering and to a dark hallway trying to stay in the dark or we could duck down so no one could see us.
"I missed you, are you ready for our date tonight?" Alex asked as he ran his hands through my hair.
"I missed you too…I can't wait for tonight…you haven't said anything to Mike?"
"No, I'm trying to get on his good side…has Maryse talked to him?"
"She better…if she doesn't Mike might be trying to hook me up with Jim Ross…" I said shivering out of disgust.
"What?" Alex asked chuckling.
"Nothing…someone is coming…" I asked grabbing him ducking into the darkness.
"You don't have to hide from me…" Maryse said as she started heading towards us.
"Phew…we should get out of here before Mike comes around the corner…" I said.
"Alex, your welcome to come over to our room tonight to keep her company…I give you permission…" Maryse said smiling.
"Your okay with us being together?" Alex asked shocked.
"Are we together?" I asked looking up to him, he smiled and leant forward pressing his lips against mine and I couldn't help but to smile under his lips. "I take that as a yes." I said smiling.
"I knew it all along…Addie get back to work, Alex, go baby oil up for your match…" Maryse said pushing both of us out of the hallway.
