I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Adora's Point of View-
Alex and I watched as Shawn and Hunter walked off the elevator laughing at what just happened.
"They are so weird…" I said.
"Yeah, but your not the one they will hurt if we break up."
"Then lets not plan on it okay, plus they won't hurt you unless if I give them permission or reason to do so." I said as a grabbed his hand walking through the lobby following the signs to the outdoor pool. "Its actually pretty nice out for being midnight." I said.
"It's summertime, it's always this nice." Alex said.
"Very true…" I said as he pulled open the fencing surrounding the pool allowing us to go into the pool area.
"You want to dip your feet in?" Alex asked as he stopped beside a pool chair sliding his feet out of his shoes.
"Why not? I bet it'll feel good." I said as I stepped beside him sliding my feet out of my shoes and bent over and begun rolling up the pant legs as Alex did the same. "Do you always do this when you suffer insomnia?"
"Well, bugging you isn't enough." Alex said smirking.
"Not enough for you….but half the time I'll be up too…" I said as we went to the edge trying to find a dry spot on the edge of the pool and we finally found one sitting down sliding our feet into the pool looking up at the night sky.
"What is your astrological sign?"
"Leo." I said smirking.
"So, that means you have a birthday coming up huh?"
"That I can't say…" I said smirking.
"I'll find out, Maryse will tell me…" Alex said.
"What is yours?"
"Aries." Alex said.
"What time frame is that?"
"March to April." Alex answered.
"Your into that?"
"I just know the months of each sign…." Alex said smirking.
"You only know that to judge or get an idea of when peoples birthdays are, huh?" I asked looking over to him and he made eye contact with me smirking.
"That you will never know…"
"I can tell by that smirk, you have a bad poker face." I said looking forward kicking my feet lightly.
"Do you like swimming?" Alex asked.
"Yeah…you better not push me in…." I said.
"I won't…" Alex said as he jumped in then grabbed my foot.
"No….don't you dare, Alex, don't you…" I said trying to pull my foot from his grip but he was able to grab my hand pulling me into the pool with him, I came up from under the water. "I hate you!" I said turning around going up to the edge to pull myself up.
"Come on, your already in the pool, what's the point of getting out?" Alex said.
"You care to explain to Maryse why my clothes are wet?"
"You care to explain to Mike why my clothes are wet? Do you care? I mean, let's just have fun…." Alex said smirking as he grabbed my hand pulling me to him, he wrapped his arms around my waist and I stood in front of him.
"I hate you…" I said splashing him.
"Is that how it's going to be?" He asked splashing me back, we begun a full out splash war which led to me swimming to the deep end of the pool kicking my feet to keep me afloat.
"Truce!" I said as Alex smirked.
"You are not able to be standing that deep…"
"I'm not…." I said as Alex smirked before he dived under the water, I looked down watching his figure. "Alex, don't you dare…" I started kicking more violently and trying to swim away enough before he caught me pulling me under with him. I begun pounding on his chest letting him let me go and we both re-surfaced, I pushed my hair out of my face. "Why did you pull me under?"
"I was going to lift you up but figured that you will be more mad about that." Alex said smirking.
"Your right…can you do a summersault?" I asked.
"No…" Alex said as I showed him the summersault that I was only able to do underwater. "Do you always show off?"
"No…only around you…" I said smirking.
"Good…do you dive into the pool?" Alex asked as I was trying to keep afloat.
"Kind of…what kind of dives are you talking about?" I asked.
"I'll show you." Alex asked as I watched him swim over to the edge pulling himself out of the pool and got to his feet. I swam to the edge hanging on so I won't go under watching him jump and flip before he dived into the water and resurfaced a few moments later.
"Nice…" I said smirking.
"Can you do that?"
"Yeah…"
"Prove it…" Alex said as he swam up beside me.
"I will." I said as I pulled myself up by the edge and climbed out of the pool walking around the corner of the pool to where Alex was moments ago mocking the dive he just did resurfacing wiping the hair away from my face and spitting our any chlorine water that passed my lips. "That good for you?"
"It was very nice." Alex said smirking.
"I thought so…I remember when I first learned the flip bumps, I hated those things…" I said as I grabbed onto the edge of the pool facing Alex.
"Why did you hate flip bumps?"
"I was always afraid I was going to hit my head."
"Did you?"
"Not yet…but I had done some wacky things in hopes that what I did was a flip bump, Maryse thought it was entertaining." I said.
"I bet…."
"I have always had a problem conquering my fear, Maryse was more of the daredevil…." I said.
"Name a fear and I'll help you conquer it." Alex said smirking.
"It'll sound stupid…" I said knowing what one came instantly to mind.
"Have I thought you were stupid before?"
"No…"
"So, why would I now?"
"I'm afraid of stepping off the edge of the pool type jump thing people do…" I said.
"Seriously?"
"Yes, I'm always afraid I won't step off far enough and bash my butt or head in on the edge."
"Impossible, come on." Alex said as he pulled himself up by the edge of the pool getting to his feet, "Come on…" Alex said looking down at me.
"Alex, I don't want to…" I said as he bent down grabbing my arms and begun pulling me out of the pool, "ALEX! Let me go!" I said shocked that he can pick me up and scared that he will drop me.
"Fine." Alex said letting me go and I fell back into the pool making a splash, I resurfaced catching my breath and pushed hair out of my face.
"Why'd you let me go?"
"You told me to." He said laughing.
"I hate you…" I said as I swam the short distance back to the edge pulling myself out and he begun to help me to my feet, he grabbed my hand leading me to the other side of the pool.
"On the count of 3, we will both jump in, okay?" Alex said.
"You won't let go of me will you?"
"No, I'm hanging onto your hand…" Alex said as he begun to rock back and forth, "1…..2….3!" Alex said as he jumped and I decided to jump with him and we both dived into the pool landing simultaneously after each other by mere seconds. We both resurfaced and I was trying to catch my breath as I ran my hand through my soaked hair getting the hair out of my face. "You did it!" Alex said hugging me before he leant back so our faces were mere inches apart.
"I only did it because you were attached to me at the hand…" I said chuckling and smiled.
"Who cares, but you did it." Alex said smiling.
"I did…" I said smiling as I leant forward pressing my lips against his when I heard the gate open, we both broke the kiss looking over seeing Maryse tip toeing in and she had a couple of towels.
"Get out now! Mike is upstairs freaking out not knowing where you guys were….I told him that you were with Hunter and I told him that Alex was probably out with the guys at some pub…" Maryse said.
"Where is Mike now?" I asked as I swam to the edge pulling myself out of the pool before Alex waited until I moved for him to climb out.
"He is up in the room, he will probably wonder why your clothes are all wet….you'll have time to change before he sees you but Alex won't." Maryse said as she handed both of us a towel to try and pat our clothes down to get as much water off of our clothes.
"Sorry about this Maryse." Alex said.
"No big deal…." Maryse said smiling as she handed us our socks and shoes, we both sat down pulling them onto our wet feet and wrapped the towels around our waist trying to cover the small portion of wet clothes we had on.
"Addie told me she was afraid to do the flip bump…." Alex said as we walked towards the gate.
"Yes she was, it was hilarious watching her try to do one….I picked it up within a day or two but it took her forever…" Maryse said laughing.
"I didn't think it was that funny…" I said as Alex shut the gate door behind us.
"It was pretty funny, this one time she did this wacky thing where she did a 619 mid air than just landed flat on her ass…." Maryse said.
"Did not…" I said.
"How the fuck did that happen?" Alex asked chuckling knowing that he was trying to imagine it.
"She definitely had the aerial skills, like she will be able to do the flying, she can control her body and do wacky ass shit that I couldn't even describe but a simple flip bump she couldn't get down…did you ever do one?" Maryse asked.
"Yeah…I still don't like them…" I said.
"Yeah…but she learned how to do all these flips and aerial tricks but she couldn't do a simple flip bump, our trainer thought that was the weirdest thing." Maryse said.
"It does seem weird." Alex said.
"No it's not…at least from the top turnbuckle I had more space to flip where if I was just standing there on the mat there was very little space between me and the mat." I said as we tried to take back ways so we didn't have to go through the lobby.
"That is good logic." Alex said.
"It is but it was stupid logic…" Maryse said.
"How is it stupid logic?" I asked.
"We are about the same height and I was able to do it, it means you had enough room to do it…" Maryse said.
"Well, your special…" I said.
"Thanks…" Maryse said taking it as a compliment as we found an elevator that would take us up to our room without having to go through the lobby.
"I want to see you try a flip bump." Alex said.
"Good luck trying to drag her back into that ring." Maryse said.
"I'll get into the ring…"
"Fine, tomorrow…" Alex said smirking.
"Um, tomorrow? I can't Claudia will be there and I can't really…" I said trying to make up an excuse.
"Told you…" Maryse said as we climbed onto the elevator that just arrived.
"Before the show?" Alex asked.
"Still no, Mike and other talent will be hanging around." I said.
"Friday? It'll be a house show, we can meet up early before anyone else shows up…" Alex said.
"I'll think about it." I said smirking.
"That means no, but I have to think of a good excuse." Maryse said as I nudged her.
"Does not." I said as the doors opened, it was a sigh of relief not seeing Mike on the other side of the doors going to go find us, Maryse went first to make sure the coast was clear and we tried our best to be quiet so Mike couldn't hear us coming. Maryse unlocked our door pushing me in so I could change as she made sure Alex got in and I went in grabbing the pajamas I was wearing earlier going into the bathroom changing and throwing the wet ones over the shower curtain pole to drip dry. I walked out of the bathroom trying to dry my hair some before climbing onto the bed beside my sister.
"He really likes the idea that you wrestle…" Maryse said as she looked over to me momentarily from the television.
"I know…" I said smiling.
"You think he will ever convince you to pick it up full time?"
"Never…he understands I don't want too…" I said as I plugged my phone back in and set an alarm to get up at a decent time to get ready to head out to the taping.
"Most people usually do understand it…wrestling is some people and not others…" Maryse said.
"Yes it is." I said smiling as I rolled over grabbing my phone seeing three text messages from Alex telling me what had happened when he walked into his room head to toe wet and what Mike had to say, it was pretty hilarious.
"What are you laughing at?" Maryse asked.
"Your boyfriend is a retard."
"But he's my retard." Maryse said as I rolled my eyes texting Alex back saying good night before I snuggled with the blanket that I pulled on top of me falling asleep laughing about the whole pool situation.
