I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
A/N: SORRY FOR THE LONG AWAITED UPDATE, BUT WAS STARTING UP A NEW STORY AND WAS HAVING DIFFICULTIES WRITING THESE SCENES BUT THE NEXT SET OF CHAPTERS SHOULD BE POSTED A LOT SOONER I PROMISE. I AM GOING TO TRY AND POST AS MUCH AS I CAN BEFORE MY COLLEGE STARTS BACK UP.
Adora's Point of View-
I slept until my alarm went off the next morning, and I was glad that Mike nor Maryse bothered me before they left this morning for their appearances or whatever Mike needed to do today for WWE. I turned off my alarm reading the text messages from Alex smiling as I wrote back saying 'good morning,' and I couldn't help but to smile whenever I talked to him. I pulled it off the charger heading out of my room not seeing anyone, I went into the kitchen seeing a note posted on the refrigerator from Maryse, I could tell by the handwriting. 'Adora, we won't be back to later this afternoon. There is money on the counter if you want to order some pizza or Chinese food since we haven't been grocery shopping and we are low on food. Don't have too much fun. Love you! –Maryse P.S. Mike wanted me to tell you tomorrow is re-match day.' I rolled my eyes as I opened the refrigerator not bothering to throw the note away as I found the milk, luckily they had enough for a bowl of cereal. I closed the door before I made the bowl of cereal before grabbing the milk pouring rest of the milk into the bowl setting the carton aside for recycling. I carried the bowl out to the living room turning the television on and turned it to a baseball game. I heard my phone vibrate from the side table I had set it on, I took one last bite of my cereal before I reached over grabbing my phone seeing a text from Alex, 'Morning sweetie, how are you today?' I wrote back 'I'm good, lonely…I have the whole house to myself.' I put the phone back aside turning back to the game that was being played eating away at my cereal not bothering to respond to Alex until I finished. I walked out to the kitchen cleaning my bowl before I walked into my room getting dressed and grabbing the two magazines I had bought and my sketch pad carrying them back out to the living room with me. I sat onto the couch leaning against the arm rest pulling my legs up resting the things against them as I read the text. 'You want me to come over? I'll be there in 2-3 hours.' Alex said. 'Don't waste your money, plus I need to work on Mike about letting us date. How are you?' I asked as I put it on my stomach as I opened the magazine reading through it not paying attention to the game I had turned it to. I begun reading the articles getting to a quiz of how well you know your man, I turned the pages around to focus on this quiz when I felt my phone vibrate, I looked at the phone realizing Alex was calling and I answered.
"Hey there." I said smiling as I put the phone between my ear and shoulder.
"Hey cutie, I figured it'll be better to talk to you than through text…plus I miss your beautiful voice." Alex said.
"Bull crap, I sound like a dude." I said as I got up looking for a pen and came back to the couch to fill out this quiz.
"A sexy dude?" Alex said in a question type tone.
"A creepy dude, I don't think dudes have boobs…" I said laughing.
"Men can have boobs, they are man boobs…they just aren't as attractive as those on women."
"I assume not…" I said chuckling as I put the phone back between my ear and shoulder as I begun to circle the answers I assumed that most men would answer and what I would think Alex would answer.
"Yeah, man boobs aren't sexy….I don't have man boobs do I?" Alex asked.
"Your not looking in the mirror right now are you?" I asked.
"Nooo…" Alex said in that tone in which I knew he was.
"Bull shit, your looking at yourself in the mirror without a shirt, I know that tone." I said calling him out on it.
"Maybe I am…."
"You don't have man boobs…you have strong pecs…" I said trying to comfort him.
"You like them?"
"I love your boobs…" I said, "Wow, that sounded so weird…." I said as I marked an answer.
"Yes it did, don't say that ever again."
"I will try not to." I said.
"What are you doing?" Alex asked.
"I'm doing this quiz in my Cosmopolitan." I said.
"God, you're a girly girl."
"Not fully, I just like reading these magazines…what girl doesn't?"
"True…what quiz are you taking?"
"Um….it doesn't matter." I said not wanting to tell him what quiz I was taking.
"Is it 'What is your sleeping type?'"
"Not quite." I said.
"Who is your ideal mate?"
"Closer…" I said hoping he doesn't guess it.
"Hm…how well do you know the opposing sex?"
"Close enough….how well you know a guys dating style." I said.
"I want to take it, I'm a guy and if I can't do good on it then it's rigged." Alex said.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Yes, let's do this." Alex said as I giggled, I think I definitely like this guy since he is down with anything.
"Let me finish it and I can match my answers with yours." I said.
"Okay…how many questions are there?"
"10, it's not that many." I said.
"Yeah, I have took a lot longer tests in high school or college."
"You went to college?" I asked kind of shocked, not that I didn't believe him but was surprised that he did since most wrestlers did attend college but didn't complete it due to wrestling.
"Yeah, I went to college…."
"What were you majoring?" I asked.
"Communications."
"Awesome." I said as I did the last question then started asking him the questions, out of the 10 questions we didn't pick 2 of them the same, so 8 out of 10 was good.
"How well did I do compared to their answers?" Alex asked.
"To the magazines answers you got 4 out of 10….me and you had 8 out of 10 the same, we think a like." I said smiling as I put the pen aside as I begun to skimming through rest of the magazine as I talked with Alex for at least two hours before he had to go because he wanted to hit the gym. I then begun thoroughly reading the magazines, I got bored with that so I put them aside as I got the pen from earlier not wanting to go find a pencil that may not be around this house so I could start drawing this jacket I had pictured for Mike, I had to be careful not to mess up since it was in pen and needless to say with just a couple minor mistakes it turned out pretty well and I was proud of it. I stood up taking the stuff back into the room seeing that it was now about 4 PM, I decided to work up an appetite so I went up to Mike and Maryse's room finding Maryse's stash of work-out DVDs, I picked this dancing one that I always enjoyed doing so I went back downstairs putting it on and begun dancing like that of the instructor, I turned the volume up on my phone so if Alex called I would hear it. I was doing a move when I felt something hitting at the back of my thigh which was odd, I looked over my shoulder seeing a slight glance of another person which got me to jump turning my back to the television and begun backing up seeing Mike doing some wacky dance moves. "Damn you Mike, scare the hell out of me." I said smacking him.
"What? I was just busting a move like you…" Mike said laughing, "I loved this move the most…" Mike said trying to mock the one move I was doing.
"Where's Maryse?" I asked curiously.
"She went upstairs to change and freshen up, I came to see what you were doing before I did so…" Mike said.
"How is press thus far?" I asked as Mike paused the television for me.
"Good, just got to get dressed up this time instead of my ratty jeans and a t-shirt." Mike said.
"You need to retire those jeans, you have had those for how long?"
"For a couple of years, but they are trustworthy." Mike said playing with them a tad.
"I bet…" I said chuckling when my ringtone for Alex started playing, which was Avril Lavigne singing 'You make me so hot, you make me want to drop, your so ridiculous, I can barely stop, I can hardly breathe, you make me want to scream...'
"Who's ringtone is that?" Mike asked as I grabbed the phone before he could make out the name.
"Alexandria's." I said as I answered the phone.
"Why does she have that?" Mike asked confused.
"Hello?" Alex asked.
"Just go get ready Mike…" I said before getting to Alex.
"Explain it later?"
"Yes, now go…" I said pointing for the stairs as I finally paid attention to the conversation on the phone, "Sorry about that Alex, perfect timing, Mike and Maryse just got home." I said as I headed into the kitchen to make a couple of sandwiches for Mike and Maryse to take with them on the road.
"Should I call back?"
"Nah, they are going to leave soon….they stopped by to do a clothing change." I said as I put the phone between my ear and shoulder, I would do speaker but Mike would hear Alex on the other side.
"Oh…" Alex said.
"How was your work-out?" I asked as I was trying to make the sandwiches and make sure that my phone didn't drop from where it was placed.
"Intense….today it was all High Intensity and tomorrow will be low intensity." Alex said.
"Does that work?" I asked curiously as I went to the drawer grabbing a knife for the mayo that I had pulled out of the fridge.
"I think it does, a lot of us do it…"
"Obviously if you guys get the muscles you have….you influenced me to work-out."
"Mike has at home equipment?"
"Not really, I borrowed one of Maryse's tapes and it was dancing type video…"
"I never got the point of those videos."
"It's cardio…"
"True, if your not looking at gaining muscles and just trying to do cardio and lose the weight, it could work."
"Yeah, and you can do it in your home so you won't have others judging." I said as I begun spreading the mayo on the one slice of bread.
"True, lord knows we judge others dance ability."
"We do, it's quite strange huh?"
"It is, I'm not much of a dancer myself."
"Me neither…" I said as we both laughed.
"I think Mike's the worst though, but he thinks he's good."
"Hey, there isn't anything wrong with being confident in yourself." I said as Maryse walked into the kitchen.
"What are you doing?" Maryse asked.
"Making you and Mike a sandwich." I said.
"Hi Maryse." Alex said.
"Alex says hi." I said rolling my eyes.
"Hi Alex." Maryse said as she stepped behind me opening the fridge grabbing a bottle of water.
"Hi Alex." I said into the phone.
"You're a good sister making them sandwiches."
"Well, I'm going to make myself one as well for dinner….what time is it there?" I asked curiously.
"He's three hours ahead of us." Maryse said as she sat in a seat at the table sipping at her water as she crossed her legs.
"It's about 8:30ish here…." Alex said.
"Maryse was right, your 3 hours ahead of us….does the time difference mess you up when you do the west coast loops?" I asked curiously as I put the mayo back and grabbed the other ingredients.
"Not really, my body is used to the travelling…" Alex said.
"It's the same when we go over there." Maryse said.
"Go where?" Mike asked walking in tying his tie.
"France…" I lied.
"Oh…" Mike said.
"What kind of meat do you want? There is turkey and ham." I said.
"I like turkey better." Alex said.
"I like ham better." I said back to Alex.
"I'll have turkey please." Mike said.
"Ham please." Maryse said as Maryse stood up helping Mike with his tie as I was putting the meat on the two different sandwiches.
"Mayo or mustard?" Alex asked.
"Mustard all the way, that is one difference between Maryse and I." I said.
"She does mayo."
"Yep, I can deal with mayo if there isn't any mustard available but I am more of a mustard person." I said.
"You're the only person in the whole family to be like that." Maryse said.
"I know, I'm reminded at every family event." I stated.
"What was that?" Alex asked.
"I'm the only one in my whole family to not do mayo on my sandwich, so there is only one small bottle of mustard and it's only used by me since no one in our extended families use mustard." I said.
"It's odd, you and Maryse have the same mom right?"
"Yeah, but different dads….both our dads like mayo just like our mom…"
"Its weird, I guess to each their own." Alex said.
"I guess so…what is one food you dislike?" I asked.
"I would have to say the one food I dislike would be liver."
"Who does like liver?" I asked.
"No body likes liver…the sound of it is nasty." Maryse said.
"I can't deal with pigs feet." I said.
"Me neither, anything that has animal's name in it I can't stand." Alex said.
"Me neither, besides like chicken sandwiches." I said.
"That I can deal with, it's like chicken toes or something."
"What about chicken fingers?" I asked laughing as I put the top slice of bread on top of the sandwich looking to Maryse and Mike, "Sandwiches ready." I said as I started to head out of the kitchen to finish the conversation.
"Chickens don't have fingers, thats why it's different."
"You got me there…I can't even eat sushi or any fish, well besides tuna or fish sticks." I said as I sat on the couch.
"I'm not big into sushi, I'll eat sushi once a year with that so it'll be easy for me to give that up." Alex said.
"I didn't ask you to give it up….I think the sound of the food makes you think if it'll taste good or bad…hearing 'liver' you instantly think it must be horrible because you know what a liver is."
"I think it does play a part, along with the photo and description. If the description sounds horrible or the photo of it looks bad, I won't want to try it." Alex said.
"True, then there is some things that I hear and I'm like that sounds amazing, so maybe change the name and try your best to make it seem advertising." I said giggling.
"Exactly…dang, this is making me hungry." Alex said.
"Then go get something to eat."
"Don't encourage my eating habits."
"I am very encouraging when it comes to eating." I said smiling.
"We got to go, don't wait up." Maryse said as she stood up.
"Oh, when will you guys get back?" I asked.
"Not until about midnight." Mike said.
"Oh, that's not that late, be safe." I said walking over to them hugging Maryse and then gave Mike a high five.
"Really Addie? Really? She gets a hug and I just get a simple high five? What is with that?" Mike asked.
"You'll get a hug if she gets back in one piece." I said as Alex was laughing on the other side of the phone.
"I see how it is." Mike said as he picked up his half eaten sandwich taking it with him on the road.
"Don't make a mess!" I said after them as they walked out of the room, I begun to skim the kitchen seeing what else they had since they had rest of the bread.
"What are you going to do now that they are gone?"
"Find something to eat, they had rest of the bread." I said.
"Why don't you go grocery shopping for them?"
"I don't have a car nor a license, plus I don't know where the local grocery store is." I said as I saw the money they had set aside, "They did leave money for pizza earlier, I think they forgot about it…" I said.
"Do it, you'll have left over slices for lunch tomorrow."
"Cold pizza is the best." I said as I went to their computer looking up local pizza places trying to find the best deals while talking to Alex about it and placed an order.
"Send me a couple of slices." Alex said.
"I'll just do that, I'll tell the delivery driver to take half this pizza to Florida for you." I said giggling.
"They won't do that…"
"How cool would it be if they did?"
"That is a kick ass delivery driver…have you done the map quest or Google map directions from like England to US, they tell you to swim through the ocean, it's hilarious." Alex said.
"Are you serious? I have to see this now." I said as I went to the website seeing for myself and just laughed.
"I often go to damn you auto-correct, taste of awesome, twitter, and awkward family photos." Alex said.
"Awkward family photos?" I asked, that one out of all of them stuck out the most and I had to check it out so I opened a new tab to view this sight. I pulled my one leg up onto the chair with me waiting for it to load and when it did I typed in the site.
"Yeah, I always check it to make sure that none of my family photos pop up." Alex said.
"You have awkward photos?" I asked.
"No more than any average person." Alex said when the page loaded seeing the first photo.
"Whoa, that photo is awkward…" I said laughing at the epic sight of that photo.
"It brings hours of entertainment…" Alex said as I laughed over the photos I was seeing as I scrolled down and explaining to Alex and he finally got online on his laptop, we spent hours going to websites together, and he walked me through of getting a twitter account and I wasn't sure if I would like it. The pizza arrived and I ate a couple of slices while we did so before putting it in the refrigerator to eat tomorrow or as a snack later on tonight. Alex and I chatted on the phone until it got to midnight and I heard the garage door start opening, this time I heard it because I had nothing on in the house besides the computer that was on hibernate since I haven't used in a couple of hours now.
"Oh shit, I got to let you go, Mike and Maryse are home." I said as I got up diving for my room before they came in to see I was still up and on the phone with Alex still.
"Okay, talk to you tomorrow?"
"Absolutely, I'll call you if I can…"
"Okay sweetie, night!"
"Night." I said smiling as I hung up diving onto my bed sliding under my blankets leaving the phone on the bed beside me but leant back grabbing the remote I had left on the night stand from last night turning the television on to whatever channel I had it on last night putting it back on the stand before rolling back just in time to clench my eyes shut before the door opened.
"Adora, you up?" Maryse asked as the light flicked one, "Get up you faker…" Maryse said as I couldn't help but to smile, I sat up looking at my sister who was leaning against my door frame.
"How'd you know I was faking?" I asked.
"I know when your faking, I taught you that remember?" Maryse said smirking.
"Right…how'd everything go?" I asked.
"It went well, we were going to grab a midnight snack, you want something?" Maryse asked.
"There is cold pizza." I said as I threw my blankets back to slide out leaving my phone where it was.
"What is Alex up to?" Maryse asked as she waited for me to climb off the bed.
"Nothing…he's the reason I'm still up." I said as I walked around my bed to the door frame.
"Dang him…" Maryse said rolling her eyes as I followed her out seeing Mike walking down the stairs in a pair of pajama bottoms and no shirt.
"You look comfy." I said smirking.
"I am, surprised your still up." Mike said.
"Oh, Lexi kept me up…she had trouble sleeping so she kept me up until you guys got home." I lied.
"What is with all of you French people and insomnia?" Mike asked as he wrapped an arm around Maryse bringing her to his embrace for a kiss.
"Because we see horrid sights like that." I said pretending to be grossed out and walked into the kitchen to grab a slice of pizza.
"What are you doing tomorrow?" Mike asked as I turned around from the fridge holding the pizza box, Mike jumped up onto the kitchen counter.
"Nothing, why?" I asked as I opened the one cupboard pulling down three plates.
"You want to go to Dave and Busters?" Mike asked.
"That sounds fun…I have to re-do your measurements, I didn't write them down and they kind of washed off my hand." I said as I showed my palm that I had written them down yesterday.
"No problem, you want to do it now?" Mike asked.
"We'll do it in the morning…" I said as I put a slice on the last plate, "You want yours heated?"
"Nah, cold pizza is best."
"I'm with you on that." I said smiling as Maryse walked into the kitchen in her 'Happy Bunny' matching pajama set. "Heated or cold?" I asked.
"Cold, duh!" Maryse said.
"Would people consider this gross?" I asked as I handed her a plate and Mike grabbed a plate as he climbed off the counter.
"Nah, who doesn't eat cold pizza?" Mike asked as I shrugged following them out to the living room where Maryse turned the television on going to the recorded things.
"What have you recorded?" I asked curiously.
"The new episode of Blue Bloods." Maryse said.
"Haven't seen it." I said.
"Hello, Mr. Donnie Wahlberg, you got to catch up." Maryse said.
"I'm sorry…" I said.
"Oh god…" Mike said rolling his eyes as Maryse played the newest episode and I was hooked, Mike went to bed after the new episode where Maryse and I stayed up watching the first two or three episodes then went to bed ourselves. I got ready for bed, I didn't even bother with an alarm knowing that Mike or Maryse will come get me when I'm needed. I sent Alex a good night text before I laid the phone onto the night stand before I rolled over getting comfortable watching the episode of Criminal Minds that I had changed it to.
