Mike's Point of View-

Maryse and I spent the night together in the house besides going to dinner at Chili's, we are only home from tour for a few days so it's nice to be able to go out on the town instead of being cooped up in the house. I played video games on my gaming console as Maryse read her books, I was getting worried about Addie because it was getting later and later and she hasn't texted or called us.

"Did Addie say when she will be home?" I asked as I looked over to Maryse real quick before I missed anything on my game.

"Nope, but it can't be that late since it deals with wrestling and I don't see Claudia wanting to be out that late, she is quite older than us and not as hip." Maryse said as we made quick eye contact as she said it.

"Your right, it's weird that she hasn't texted or anything if she was going to be late."

"Mike, she doesn't have a curfew, plus she has the house keys."

"She does too have curfew." I said.

"Mike, she is 26 years old, she is old enough to come and go as she pleases and we can't sit her and limit her." Maryse said.

"Your right but I worry, LA isn't safe as it is during the day by yourself especially as a female but I can't imagine at night. I hope she took that pepper spray or blade I had bought her."

"She always has that when she is out on her own, she is a strong girl and knows how to take care of herself. Plus, she isn't alone she is with a group of people so it can't be that bad." Maryse said.

"Your right…I'm going to go to bed, it's getting kind of late…" I said shutting the gaming off, I wasn't that tired but I figured that it's better than sitting playing my game making myself more worried.

"I'll join you." Maryse said as we headed upstairs, she climbed into bed after she finished her rituals and I stood in the bathroom brushing my teeth, I looked out to the bedroom seeing her sitting up finishing the chapter in her book.

"How's the book?" I tried to say with my toothbrush in my mouth.

"It's pretty good…I'm almost done with it." Maryse said looking over to me from her book, she put her book mark in it putting it aside, "I'm surprised your calm enough to go to sleep without Adora being home."

"I know…it's surprising me too but I got to realize that she is a grown woman and even though I am worried about her, but she can take care of herself…she isn't stupid like I think she is, that is why I gave her a blade to keep in her pocket in situations like this…" I said trying to talk myself into this whole thing, I loved Adora like my little sister that I had never had and like a big brother, you always worry if they are still out on the town while your trying to go to bed and I didn't want Maryse to know it was eating me alive. Maryse has always been calm about this, but they are half sisters and have been through so much trouble together, she has helped her sister sneak in and out of the house way too much, Lord knows I was there too many times in the get away vehicle. I always never got how they looked so much alike if they are half sisters but yet I look at their mom and can see the instant relation and I guess their mom definitely has those genes that are more dominant than either one of their fathers and I know that they both act similar but Adora is more emotional and trusting than Maryse and Maryse is more physically active and more girly girl, not saying Adora isn't because she does do wardrobe but she is more of the girl that wants to wear tennis shoes, and sweats where Maryse wears the heels and the skirts almost everyday. I spit out the toothpaste into the sink rinsing out my brush before putting it into the brush holder.

"She has a blade?" Maryse asked.

"Yep, I told her to use it only when she needs to because you woman need some kind of protection and I had put one in your purse as well in case I am never there to defend you." I said as I poured some mouth wash into the cap of the bottle and drunk it to gurgle it.

"You know Adora won't want to use that, I know I won't."

"I know you don't like weapons but if your as skinny as you and Adora are, you may need to use them because that may be your only hope, and I taught Adora a few moves to use as well…"

"When was this?" Maryse asked as she laid in the bed resting her head on her hand watching me as I made my way to the bed after cleaning up and turning the light off.

"One night when we were in France, she was talking about how she had a night class that got out at 11 PM and I didn't like her campus because it was shady so I gave her a blade and taught her a few harmless moves she could use to keep the person there until police could arrive." I said shrugging as I climbed into the bed.

"You are such a good guy…why aren't you like this all the time?" Maryse asked as she smiled.

"Because good guys always finish last." I said smiling as we met in the middle for a kiss.

"Good night, love you." She said smiling as she kissed me again.

"Night, love you!" I said rolling over turning my light off, making the room dark and I laid there with wide eyes listening to every creak that the house made or every breeze that came from outside or the thumping of the air conditioner when it turned on waiting to hear the sound of the door unlocking downstairs to know that she has finally got home. I begun to feel my mouth getting dry and I figured might as well go get a glass of water, that usually helps people sleep. I got up slowly so it won't wake Maryse up, she can either be a really soft sleeper or a really tough sleeper and I didn't know which night it was so I tried not to wake her and I didn't. I walked downstairs going into the kitchen not even paying attention to the cars that were parked outside besides when I saw Addie and what to look to be a man walking up the walkway to the house, it was so dark and he was on the other side of Addie so I couldn't make out much about him. I went to the front door putting my ear against the door trying to hear what they were saying.

"Thanks Alex…are we going out tomorrow?" Addie said when I looked out the peep hole to see Alex Riley standing in front of her now, she lied to me? I begun to feel hurt and anger at the same time.

"That depends if you can get out…" Alex said smiling, and she is going to lie to me again tomorrow? They are dating?

"I'll get out." Addie said confidently as I watched them leaning in close and she begun to wrap her arms around him for what looked to be a kiss and I didn't want that so I flung the front door open as fast as I could. "Mike, what are you doing up?" Addie asked after she jumped back from Alex's embrace.

"What am I doing up? Why are you with Alex and not Claudia?" I asked.

"I can explain that." Addie said.

"Both of you, in the house…now!" I said as I stepped aside as they looked at each other for a few moments as Addie walked in first and Alex walked in behind her, he stopped in front of me and he opened his mouth to say something, "Just go!" I said as I pointed to the living room, Alex nodded and went into the living standing next to Addie, I shut the door locking it and walked over to the living room, "Sit." I said as they did what I said, Alex grabbed onto Addie's hands as they watched me intently as I paced in front of them in the living room. I was mad at them for not telling me the truth, but I could understand why they didn't tell me after the way I had been acting towards the fact that they could have been dating and that they could have got the idea that I didn't like them together. I was upset that I acted this way and that it had truly been my fault, so I was upset with myself. I wanted to be happy for them because I could tell how happy they were together and obviously they want to be together even how hard I was trying to scare Alex away and separate them. "Alex, outside." I said nodding to the backyard.

"But Mike-" Addie begun to say to argue with what I wanted to do.

"Addie, it's fine…" Alex said looking to Addie, Addie looked somewhat worried about what I was about to do, Alex patted Addie on her knee and he stood up heading out to the backyard and I closed the door behind me. "Mike, look…" Alex begun.

"Sit and shut up…" I said as Alex sat down and shut up like I said, "How long have you and Addie been dating?"

"For a couple of weeks, since about the time we almost kissed at the bar where you flipped out…" Alex said truthfully.

"Why didn't you feel the need to tell me?"

"Honestly Mike, because you acted like you didn't want us together, you freaked out about everything we did and we didn't tell you because we are happy together and we don't want you to ruin our happiness." Alex said when I let that sink in for a few moments when I turned around from my spot looking into the house seeing Addie watching both of us from the couch with a concerned expression.

"Alex, I look to Addie as my little sister and as her older brother I got to look out for her, even from boys like you."

"But-" Alex begun and I stuck my hand out to shut him up and he did.

"I may not like the fact that she is dating my best friend but after seeing how happy you guys were together this past weekend and for someone not to run away after letting me put sun block on them, you must really love her. Just remember, I made Alex Riley and I can easily crush Alex Riley if you hurt that girl." I said pointing into the house at Addie.

"I completely understand and I won't hurt her, I love her Mike." Alex said.

"Right, but just remember, I hold your career and life in my hands…" I said as I gave him the evil point before I pulled the door open and motioned for him to go in first.

"So?" Addie asked standing to her feet with a worried expression on her face, Alex walked over to her giving her a hug before wrapping his arm around her.

"I talked to Alex and I may not like the fact you two are dating BUT I guess either way you two will continue dating with or without my permission." I said.

"Your okay with us dating?" Addie asked excitedly.

"Not fully but Alex and I had a nice conversation…I'm going to bed, so good night Addie…good night Alex." I said as I nodded and walked around the corner going up the stairs and sat on the top stair.

"Now I don't have to worry about inviting you in…I think they have the movie channel if you want to stay here for a little while." Addie suggested.

"Do you think they'll mind?"

"No, they won't mind." Addie said as I decided to chime in.

"I said good night Alex!" I said as Addie and Alex peeked around the corner and I waved at them.

"What are you doing?" Addie asked.

"Making sure Alex leaves…" I said.

"But-" Addie said.

"Addie, it's fine…I should get going anyway…" Alex said as he put his hand on her bicep, Addie nodded as she walked with him the short distance to the door opening it for him and she held it open for him and she stepped behind the door so I couldn't see them.

"Night Alex." I heard Addie say with a soft smack as if they were kissing, I almost gagged thinking that is what they were doing. The door shut and Addie turned to look at me with her arms crossed, "Your so ridiculous sometimes." She said rolling her eyes turning around.

"I'm ridiculous? How am I ridiculous? I just said it was okay for you two to date, isn't that good enough?"

"I'm very happy about that, but your ridiculous for not letting Alex stay here longer…"

"I don't want to think he is down here trying to get into your pants."

"What kind of girl do you think I am to let Alex get into my pants this soon? Can you please step back and trust my judgment?" Addie asked.

"I'm willing to try." I said.

"Please?"

"I'm going to try…"

"Thanks." Addie said smiling as she gave me a hug, "Goodnight Mike." Addie said as she turned around going into her room and I turned around going into the kitchen seeing Alex just now buckling up and pulling out of his parking job, I couldn't believe that these two actually were or want to date but I can't stop them. I turned around leaning against the counter behind me with my arms crossed over my chest trying to let it process and trying to not let it bother me. I pushed myself off the counter going up the stairs to go to bed finally since the tiredness had finally hit me, I climbed into the bed pulling the covers over me and wrapped my arm around my beautiful girlfriend kissing her forehead realizing how it must feel not to be able to be with the person you love because someone doesn't like it.

"What's wrong sweetie?" Maryse asked as her eyes were barely open and in a groggy voice.

"We'll talk in the morning." I said as she didn't waste anytime going back to sleep and scooted closer to my embrace wrapping my arms around her tighter.
