I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
August 1st (Adora's Birthday)-
Adora's Point of View-
Alex and I have been out on a date almost every night, sometimes with Mike and Maryse but sometimes Mike would allow us to go out on our own but every time that happened he would flicker the lights or open the doors on us to make us not want to kiss each other as much as we would want to due to this. I slept as much as I could because we got in at midnight last night, and I want to spend my birthday sleeping when I heard my phone ringing, I grumpily rolled over grabbing my phone answering it.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Happy Birthday sweetie." Alex said.
"Thanks Alex…what time is it?" I asked sitting up seeing the alarm clock reading 8:30 AM.
"8:30….I got plans for us, get up." Alex said.
"What is so important for us to do today?" I asked.
"Don't question, just come on…." Alex said.
"Give me a half hour." I said.
"Take your time birthday girl." Alex said.
"Okay, love you." I said smiling.
"Love you too…" Alex said hanging up, I put my phone aside grumpily sitting up wiping my eyes not wanting to go do stuff but Alex wanted to go celebrate it. I grabbed a new outfit taking a shower. Alex was staying at his parent's house for the weekend because he wanted to see his family since it was his home town so we didn't have to share a hotel room. I texted Alex as I headed down to the lobby to see him already sitting there waiting for me, he jumped to his feet grabbing the dozen roses and a teddy bear. "Boy don't you look absolutely stunning today birthday girl." Alex said smirking as he leant over giving me a kiss, "Happy Birthday." He said handing me the flowers and teddy bear.
"Thank you…much like our first date, but this is more special…" I said smiling as I smelt the flowers.
"That's what reminded me to get these because you said all women like these things and my mom helped me pick it out…" Alex said.
"Mama's boy…am I going to meet your parents tonight?" I asked.
"I'll think about…" Alex said smiling, "Come on…" Alex said as he wrapped his arm around me leading me out of the hotel to his car, he held the door open for me as I climbed in and he drove me to a Denny's. "You hungry?" Alex asked.
"Yeah…"
"Free Grand Slams for birthday girls." Alex said smirking.
"Seriously? Free?" I asked unbuckling my seat belt.
"Absolutely." Alex said smiling.
"Where do I put these?" I asked.
"I'll put them in the backseat for now." Alex said as he took them from me putting them in the back seat as I let myself out, he met me in front of his car where he wrapped his arm around me resting it on my hip.
"Is that your real car?" I asked.
"Nah, that's my dad's."
"Does he know you took it?" I asked as he pulled the door open letting me go in first.
"Yeah, my car doesn't have gas so he told me I could take his." Alex said.
"So they know about us?" I asked.
"Yep, I told them all about you…" Alex said as we were led to a table where we were seated, I sat down across from him and smiled, this time I don't have to worry about what Mike would do next.
"All about me, like what?" I asked as I looked at the menu.
"That there is a French beautiful blonde, who loves doing wardrobe that has the most beautiful blue eyes, cutest smile, sweetest laugh and best sense of humor. My other half, and the girl I can see spending rest of my life with." Alex said.
"Aw…seriously?" I asked blushing a tad.
"Dead serious…" Alex said smirking.
"I love you." I said as I leant over giving him a kiss.
"I love you too…plus, I am afraid that they may love you too much if they met you now." Alex said.
"I'm not that lovable."
"I think so sweetie." Alex said as our waitress came over taking our order.
"So what do you have planned?" I asked somewhat excited trying not to be emotional and tried to have fun even though I didn't want to.
"We are going shopping…I have to get my costume yet for your party tomorrow, I have to buy some things for my mom's new dog…"
"Aw, she has a new dog?" I asked.
"Yeah, she said that he is my little brother now and a new addition to our family. My dad wanted to give my mom something to fill the void of me not being home as much as I am…" Alex said.
"You okay with that?" I asked feeling bad that it might hurt his feelings knowing that her mom missed him that much that his dad had to get a dog.
"Yeah, the dog is precious…" Alex said.
"I want to see." I said as he pulled out his phone showing me a picture of his mom holding her new pug dog. "Absolutely precious…your mom is super pretty, I am slightly jealous…" I said.
"I've been told I got my looks from her…" Alex said smirking.
"I can tell that…what about your dad?" I asked.
"My dad…" Alex said as he was searching through his phone showing me a photo of his dad.
"He's very handsome, you want to see my parents?" I asked as I pulled out my phone showing my parents when he smiled.
"You and Maryse definitely got the looks from your mom…" Alex said.
"I've heard…" I said sliding my phone into my pocket when our food arrived, "What did your mom name him?" I asked.
"Puggles…isn't that real unique?" Alex said sarcastically.
"I haven't heard that before…"
"I haven't either…" Alex said sarcastically as I grabbed the ketchup bottle squeezing it only to hear it do a farting noise, I bit my lip trying not to laugh looking to Alex who was biting his lips too.
"That wasn't me…" I said.
"I know…" Alex said as I did it again getting us burst into laughter for real this time.
"It's too early, I swear." I said as I wiped my eyes as I put the ketchup bottle aside as I begun to eat my eggs.
"It's never too early for a fart joke sweetie, my dad will approve this." Alex said.
"Your dad is that type of guy, huh?"
"Yeah, but it's a natural thing I guess…" Alex said shrugging.
"I don't know why people are so uptight about it." I said.
"There are definitely unwritten rules about it like not doing it in public."
"Obviously, with everything there are unwritten rules that come along with it."
"I don't remember having all these rules when I was a kid." Alex said.
"But as a kid, that is when our parents instilled such rules on us, it sucks too."
"Does that mean you have the same manners and values of your parents?"
"Heck no! Well, when I'm around them, yes but else where I act differently."
"That's every kid, when we reach 13 we learn to be two different people."
"One that our parents want us to be, which we are at home and the ones we are around friends and ourselves period." I said.
"I think that is why its easy for me to be my character and separate it from who I truly am."
"It's not an easy task but it gets easier I've been told." I said.
"Did you have a character when you wrestled?"
"Yes I did." I said nodding.
"What was it?"
"Does it matter?"
"I'm just curious." Alex said shrugging.
"I was a Goth character…"
"Really? How Goth were you?"
"At one point my hair was dyed black, I wore dark black eye liner with the triangles down like this, black lipstick, I made myself paler and I wore a studded necklace with black, I wore all black including fish nettings sometimes…let me see if I have a picture." I said as I put my fork down after eating the piece of my pancakes on it going through my phone finding a picture showing it to him.
"Why'd you choose that?" Alex asked.
"I wanted to be something different than what Maryse was, what better way than the complete opposite?"
"How did Mike not know about this?"
"We always found a way around it, and he shall never know if I have my way." I said as we finished our meal before we went back to the car where he drove us to the mall seeing a carnival in the parking lot. "A carnival, that sounds fun." I said smiling.
"It will be." Alex said as he parked the car, we climbed out walking across the lot holding hands and Alex paid the fees to get us in and bought us a ride bracelet.
"Do they have a lot of carnivals here?" I asked looking at the different booths and rides they had.
"Once or twice a month. You want to go on the Ferris wheel?" Alex asked.
"Absolutely." I said as we waited in line being let onto the ride, we were stopped at the top where he pointed in the direction he lived. "Ow! Get away from me bugs!" I said smacking a mosquito off my arm.
"They just like you…" Alex said as he wrapped his arm around me pulling me closer to him not helping very much. We were let off the ride so we would walk through rest of the carnival. "You want to play a game?" Alex asked as we walked past a couple of games.
"Sure, what about this one?" I asked smacking another mosquito and shooing more away from me.
"Your on." Alex said as we walked up to the booth where you had to blow the balloon up by shooting water into the clowns mouth, Alex paid for our two games as we sat down on two different stools grabbing the guns and begun the game when the siren went off. Alex beat me because I wasn't concentrating that hard due to protecting my skin from that of the mosquito's. "What one do you want?" Alex asked as we stood up and he wrapped his arm around my waist.
"The blue elephant." I said pointing to the blue elephant that was hung up, the employee grabbed it handing it to Alex who handed it to me.
"Happy Birthday baby, and I love you." Alex said as he leant forward giving me a kiss, "Now lets get you inside so the mosquito's won't eat you up too much…" Alex said.
"Thanks." I said as we headed into the mall away from the mosquito's, "Sorry about that…" I said worried that it was my fault we couldn't enjoy rest of the carnival.
"It's not your fault that your that yummy." Alex said as he kissed the top of my head as he led me to a pet store, I led him around the store looking at the adorable cats and dogs that still needed to be adopted. "Have you ever had a pet?" Alex asked.
"Not really, the only pet I ever had or would consider a pet would be Maryse's dog but I don't spend much time with it." I said shrugging.
"What type of pet would you want, cat or dog?" Alex asked.
"Dog for sure, I don't mind cats but I prefer dogs more." I said honestly.
"Me too." Alex said as we then begun looking at the different collars and leashes, I found one that I thought was good and Alex liked it just as much so he bought it for his mom's dog. We walked around the mall a couple of times since we didn't have much of anything else to do and we went into the arcade doing the Dance Dance Revolution and air hockey before we went to the food court for a late lunch before we had to head to the arena.
"Hey, they have a build your own taco cart…" I said kind of excited since I had never seen one before.
"You've never seen one?" Alex asked.
"No…let me make you a taco…" I said excited to make them.
"Sure…" Alex said.
"What kind, fish, beef or chicken?" I asked.
"Fish…" Alex said.
"What kind of toppings do you like or don't like?" I asked.
"I don't mind any, so surprise me." Alex said smiling, "I'm going to go get us some drinks and a table." Alex said as he went up to the taco restaurant paying for our tacos and drinks before heading to a table as I made him his fish tacos and myself some chicken tacos carrying it over to the table Alex claimed.
"I've never made a fish taco, so tell me if it's any good." I said.
"Have you ever ate a fish taco?" Alex asked as I took my plate off the tray putting it in front of me.
"Not really, like I said I don't eat a lot of fish." I said as I watched him take the first bite of the fish taco.
"It tastes pretty good, thanks sweetie." He said as I giggled a little.
"You have a little." I said as he grabbed a napkin wiping at his mouth, "Got it." I said as he smirked, we ate our meal before we headed out of the mall to his car.
"You want to try driving?" Alex asked.
"I know how to drive but just don't have my license in US." I said.
"It's a stick shift, not an automatic." Alex said.
"I can't drive those…" I said nervously.
"I'll teach you…" Alex said smiling as he unlocked his car holding the drivers side open letting me climb in unsure about all of this, "I'll let you drive just here in the parking lot and we will switch before we get on the main road." Alex said as he shut the door and went to the passenger side as I sat there not knowing at all how to drive this thing. I started the car when Alex handed me the keys and he was instructing me how to shift the stick but I kept making it stall and grind it's gears which led to me freaking out more afraid I will mess up the engine and was giving everyone whiplash in the car. "It's fine sweetie, I was the same way when I learned." Alex said as I parked the car, I climbed out meeting Alex half way around, "You okay?" Alex asked stopping me.
"Yeah, I didn't ruin your car did I?" I asked biting my bottom lip.
"Not at all, this car has been through so much more damage than that, trust me…I have driven this car since I was 16…" Alex said.
"Okay…" I said still upset and embarrassed of how horribly I had driven the stick shift going to the passenger seat climbing in letting Alex now drive the stick shift to the arena. I had fun spending the day with Alex and seeing the different things of his home town, wish I could meet his parents but I don't want to push that subject with him especially since it is more important for the guy to meet the girls parents even though I am sure it is important for his parents wanting to meet me.
