I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Adora's Point of View-
Mike pulled open the door to GameStop allowing me to walk in first and he followed close behind me.
"What type of game you want to get?" Mike asked.
"Let me look first." I said as I walked to the one wall to look at the games on display and Mike went to the other side, I looked over all the shelves not seeing any on the first part of the wall they had going to the next section finding one that I wanted to get pulling it off holding it and I may be able to find another one.
"Find anything?" Mike asked walking up beside me carrying two games.
"What'd you find?" I asked noticing the two games he had in his hands.
"They have it where buy one and get one half off, you need to find one more…" Mike said.
"What games did you grab?" I asked.
"I grabbed an UFC and a fantasy football one…" Mike said, I rolled my eyes as I went back to looking over the games finding one that I knew that we would both enjoy. "Addie, really? Really?" Mike asked seeing the game I had just grabbed.
"I wanted something all of us could enjoy, I enjoy UFC and football just as much as you but I want something different than the sports games." I said.
"So you went with Mario Karts and Sonic?" Mike asked.
"Most people would enjoy these games and they were very influential on my childhood."
"They are classics, give you that." Mike said.
"Thank you." I said.
"You ready to go?" Mike asked.
"Yep." I said as I followed him to the line and we waited in line behind the three people in front of us until it was our turn. Mike and I went up to the cashier together and paid for our games before we walked out of the store and walked next door to Jo-Ann's.
"Why don't you have a big stock in thread and materials if this is your career?" Mike asked.
"Does it look like I have the room or time to keep up with storage of these things?" I asked as I grabbed a cart putting my purse and our GameStop bags in the child seat area.
"You may want to…."
"With my first paycheck, I'll think about it." I said as he followed me, but he is worse than a child because he had to touch everything and look at everything we had passed by. "Mike, must you?" I asked.
"I want to know what everything is, I'm not as creative as you and don't know what a lot of these things are." Mike said as he picked up a vase.
"That's a decorative vase that people will use to keep fake flowers in." I said as he put it back and followed me to the fabric and thread, I went down the aisle looking at the different kits they had along with individual thread not realizing that Mike was gone.
"Pst, Addie…" I heard Mike say, I turned to see Mike running down the aisle after me with fabric of kitties on it wrapped around him.
"What the fuck are you doing Mike?" I asked.
"I thought it would be funny." Mike said laughing.
"You thought it was funny, go put it up before I get some of the fabric and make your attire out of that."
"I'll put it up." He said hurriedly walking away, I pulled out my phone seeing texts from Alex asking why I wasn't responding and I wrote back saying I was spending the day with Mike and didn't want to get caught texting him. "I was thinking this fabric." Mike said walking back with a more serious fabric and handed it to me, I looked at it and felt it trying to get a vibe for it.
"Let me grab some thread and we will go to the fabric." I said putting the fabric into the cart as I grabbed another emergency kit to replace the one I had and a larger kit to keep at the house. He followed me over to the fabric looking over fabric similar to the one he had picked.
"What is wrong with the fabric I had grabbed?" Mike asked.
"I don't trust this type of fabric, trying to find a better fabric that I trust but yet similar enough to this." I said as I found a better named fabric and grabbed it, "Like this one, how is this for you?" I asked.
"Looks pretty close…" Mike said giving me a smirk.
"Do you remember your sizes?" I asked as I put the one in our cart in that spot and pulled the one I had chose into my cart.
"Not really…" Mike said as he followed me to the counter where I had asked to borrow their tape measure. "What do you need to measure?" Mike asked.
"Trust me okay? I have a vision and I think you won't be disappointed." I said smirking, I unraveled the measurer, "Hold your arms straight out." I said and he did so, I measured from his one wrist to the other writing it onto my hand, then did his waist, armpit to his waist and other measurements I may need and I configured into how much fabric I would need to make this vision come to life. I asked the employee to cut the fabric for me and she handed it to me to purchase up front.
"Am I going to see a drawing of this?" Mike asked.
"I want to surprise you, I may draw it out for my personal self being and reference but I want you to be surprised." I said smirking.
"Maryse got to see hers."
"Maryse is my sister." I said.
"Is it because I'm not family?"
"Yeah…you can't kill me…" I said as I put the stuff up onto the cashier counter and pushed the cart through to pay for the stuff.
"I can, but it's illegal." Mike said giving an evil smile.
"You won't kill me…"
"Not physically, but mentally in these games…" Mike said as I rolled my eyes as I swiped my card and signed for the purchase before I grabbed the things out of the cart pushing it back into it's position before we walked out of the store heading to his car. "You want to get some ice cream?" Mike asked.
"Sure." I said as he unlocked his truck putting the bags in the trunk and he slammed it shut before we walked around the plaza to the local ice cream shop.
"This reminds me of my dad's sub shop, which is why I always love coming here." Mike said as we stood in front of the glass looking at the different ice cream flavors.
"Your dad has his own sub shop?" I asked looking over to him from the ice cream flavors I was looking at.
"Yeah, Maryse didn't tell you?"
"Maryse never told me about your parents much less have I met them." I said as I looked back to the flavors.
"You will meet them when we go back to Ohio." Mike said.
"Ohio, the Buck Eye state." I said giggling a little.
"What's so funny about that?" Mike asked as we were served and purchased our ice cream before we sat at one of their tables.
"Nothing is funny about it, but it just sounds funny." I said.
"I guess it does…I think you would love my parents, Lord knows they love Maryse and they will love you just as much." Mike said.
"What are your parents like?" I asked.
"My dad, he's one of a kind and Maryse swears he is just like me…" Mike said taking a bite of his ice cream.
"Why does she think that?" I asked.
"My dad is crazier than me, I gave him four of those pay-per-view chairs that had my face on it to give one to members of my family and when I went back to Ohio to visit, he had all four of them around his dining room table. I was like 'Dad, I told you to give them to the other family members,' and his explanation was that he can't split up the set." Mike explained and I just laughed because that sounded so much like something Mike would do.
"Jeez, you act just like your dad…." I said chuckling as I took another bite of my ice cream.
"I've been told…" Mike said.
"Does that mean you look like your mom?" I asked curiously.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, most of the time if a kid acts like one parent they look like the other. Maryse and I look like our mom but we act more like our fathers with a little mixture of our mom in there." I said.
"You will have to tell me when you meet her." Mike said.
"To be honest, I was kind of surprised to hear earlier that you wanted kids, that's very adult and responsible of you Mike…"
"I'm not some giant kid Addie."
"I know, just I have never heard you be so serious about something…"
"I'm a very serious guy, we've never had serious conversations like that before…there is probably more about me you don't know." Mike said.
"Like what?" I asked as I leant my head against my hand interested to hear these things.
"I want to be married by the age of 40, I want a kid of each gender and I want to retire at the top of my game when I have enough money saved and put aside for my kids to go to college for any career they want." Mike said.
"Would you have any expectations of your kids?"
"No, I would love my kids even if they have three arms and the third one is coming out of his or her forehead." Mike said as we both chuckled.
"I must say, only your kid will get a third arm in the middle of his or her forehead." I said as I swirled my spoon in the bowl.
"But it'll be awesome, can you imagine how many bar bets they'll win, more money towards their education tuition and other fees." Mike said.
"Exactly, and they will be the best employee at any fast food chain."
"Or perfect wrestler…they can use the arm on the forehead to hold them back…" Mike said as we just laughed.
"With this talk, are you thinking about popping the question or talking to Maryse about your plans?"
"I don't want her to laugh at me and I understand it's her decision, I don't want her to feel pushed into doing something and afraid she'll say no…" Mike said.
"Mike, she won't say no, you guys have been dating for how long now? Coming from her sister, I know when we were kids she always played 'marriage' and I was a guest at her wedding. Her dream is to be married…."
"I don't know if I'm ready….I feel I need more time to grow up…"
"You'll know when it's time…plus I don't know if I'm ready to have you as a brother in law yet…" I said as I took another bite of my ice cream.
"I think you scare me the most…." Mike said jokingly when he pulled his phone out answering it, "Hey Maryse…yeah, we are eating ice cream right now….what book?...alright, we'll go grab it for you…love you too." Mike said hanging up.
"What book does she want now?" I asked, I was never like that where I HAD to read every new book a certain author published because I have yet to find the most perfect author.
"The new one from V.C. Andrews or whatever her name is…what is so interesting in those books? Give me a comic book or Stephen King." Mike said.
"I'm not much into a lot of those books either…I have read a few but not much into MUST read the new one when it comes out." I said.
"I have never seen you have a book in your hands…"
"Because like I said, I don't read much…"
"It's hard to find books, especially when you are always on the road and my thing is I don't want to buy one if I don't know if I'll like it." Mike said.
"I'm the same, I used to check out books that way if I didn't like it I could return it." I said.
"Yeah, it's too much work to go through that trouble by buying it at the store, it's like how do you know if it's worth it?" Mike asked.
"Exactly…" I said as we took another bite of my ice cream realizing that I was pretty much done.
"What was the last book you had read?" Mike asked.
"I don't remember…some book for my English class, I think it was Dracula or Frankenstein." I said.
"The classic books…how were they? I've always wanted to read the classic books but never got the chance."
"They were pretty good, confusing at times but had to re-read a few parts to clearly understand but I enjoyed them." I said.
"You were the one that was obsessed with vampires, huh?"
"Yeah…I was the one obsessed with vampires…except the Twilight, I draw the line at sparkling." I said.
"That is your sister though…I am not going to go see another one of those flicks…" Mike said as I stood up taking care of my cup only for him to do the same.
"I understand that." I said.
"You ready to go?" Mike asked.
"Sure…" I said as I followed him out of the ice cream parlor and got into his car.
"You okay with this station?" Mike asked changing the radio to a different station.
"Yep, they are playing Rolling Stones, perfectly fine." I said smirking as I heard him singing along as he found his way out of the parking lot and drove us over to the nearest Barnes and Noble.
"I'll meet you in the front in half hour, Lord knows that is how long it'll take for me to find this book." Mike said.
"I'll try the romance section first." I said.
"That is where I was heading." Mike said as I went over to the magazine aisles looking over the different magazine covers picking up different girly ones deciding to buy the Cosmopolitan and Vogue before I went into the other aisle grabbing the WWE magazine and the PWI magazine so I could hang up posters of the different wrestlers and learn about the different characters and wrestlers that I was dealing with in WWE. I then started to explore the ventures of the book area just randomly scanning the titles of the books trying to find Mike in the maze of books and I caught him when he was heading to the front. "Ready?" Mike asked.
"Yeah…" I said smirking.
"What magazines you getting?" Mike asked as I turned around to walk with him towards the front of the store to purchase the things that we were carrying.
"A couple wrestling ones and a couple girly ones." I said as he rolled his eyes when we got in line.
"What do these girly magazines have in it now? 500 plus tips to pleasure your man?" Mike asked in a teasing manner.
"No…" I said blushing a tad.
"You still get embarrassed about sex?"
"Yeah…" I said.
"Me too…"
"You? Get Embarrassed?" I asked pretending to be shock.
"Yes, I may not act like I do but I do get embarrassed sometimes…"
"What does Mike 'The Miz' Mizanin get embarrassed about?" I asked curiously.
"My own stupidity like tripping in public." Mike said.
"I think that embarrasses everyone." I said as we stepped forward, I let Mike go first up to the counter and I went to the next open cashier paying for the magazines and Mike came up to the counter as I was finishing the check out process watching me do so.
"I think that is all that needs to be done today, now time to go home and play these video games." Mike said.
"You're on." I said as we walked out finding our way to his car putting our bags in the trunk where the other bags were before we climbed into our seats and he drove us back to his house.
