I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDE'S THE OC'S.
Adora's Point of View-
I hobbled back into the house trying not to drop anything that I was carrying but yet use my crutches like I'm supposed to be using and trying to make it seem like I was storming away. I got the door open and I stepped in when Mike got up running to help me probably because he was worried I would spill something on his carpet.
"You okay?" Maryse asked curiously.
"Yeah, I think I'm just going to go lay down, my leg is hurting and I'm kind of tired." I lied as she nodded.
"Let me go get you an ice pack to put on your leg as you lay down." Maryse said as she got up following Mike into the kitchen as I walked into my room sitting on the edge of my bed looking around trying to think of where to put my crutches finally finding that perfect spot then moved to a laying position and put a spare pillow under my cast to elevate it a little before I reached over to grab the remote when I looked back to the television seeing Maryse standing in the doorframe with an ice pack, "May I come in?"
"Sure." I said smirking as she came in sitting down on the bed next to me resting the ice on my leg.
"Talk to me, what happened?"
"Nothing…" I said trying not to make eye contact with her but I knew that she will know either way if I was lying to her.
"Bull shit, what did Alex say or do?"
"He just said something that urked me, it's nothing to worry about it and after I take a nap I should be fine…" I said shrugging.
"What was in the envelope?"
"How'd you know about the envelope?" I asked curiously.
"Do you not see the hawk out there that has their eyes glued to your and Alex's movements since we got up this morning." Maryse said as I let out a breath knowing she was right about that and figured might as well tell her.
"Alex has a conference Monday to discuss his future with the company, I am worried and he doesn't want to ask you nor Mike because he is afraid you won't do it and that you won't say anything good enough to let him keep his job due to how angry you two are at him about this prior weekend." I said honestly.
"Well, I will do it but I think I can be bias like he thinks…but I won't say anything that will cost him the job, I will put my feelings aside and speak nothing but good things of him because I see the way he makes you and I don't want to see you anymore hurt than you already are."
"So you would do it?" I asked excitedly.
"Only if he asks me, I'm not going to do it unless if he asks me because he needs to be a big boy and ask for my help…" Maryse said as I was happy about that, I hugged her knowing that I must tell Alex so he can ask her and Maryse will help him save his job if he would just grow up and ask her for help. "Now, take a nap…do you want your pain medication?" Maryse asked.
"No, I think I'll be fine." I said as Maryse nodded as she got up closing the blinds to the window in my room before she walked out leaving the door open for me, I usually preferred having the door closed but with the nightmares I was having last night and with my leg it is better to have it open so if I need anything I can scream and they are in the room next door. I fell asleep to the sound of my television, the faint sound of the television out in the living room and the whispers of Maryse and Mike talking, I was so deep into sleep I didn't even hear Alex come in from the porch until he slightly shook me awake a few hours later.
"Wake up beautiful." Alex said smirking, he seemed to be in a better mood and I knew I was in a better mood.
"What time is it?" I asked with a smile.
"Time for dinner, I made your favorite." Mike said as I looked to the door, "You thought I was going to let him in your room without supervision?" Mike asked.
"No…" I said as I looked back to Alex who shrugged when I heard Maryse scream for Mike because she needed help draining the water from the spaghetti noodles.
"Here, let me help with that." Alex said as he peeled the blanket back reaching for the crutches.
"I'm sorry about earlier…" I said as I scooted myself along the bed to sit on the edge.
"No worries, it was my fault…sorry I've been kind of on edge with the amounts of stress and emotions that I've been having…I didn't mean what I said." Alex said as I stood up and he literally slid the crutches under my arms for me.
"Why don't you make it up to me? You said the other night you owed me." I said smirking as I leant forward against his embrace, not enough to where I would fall and he smirked as I saw him glance to the doorway as I did the same then looked back at him making eye contact.
"What do you have in mind?" Alex asked wrapping his arms around me.
"I was thinking…" I begun.
"Hand check!" Mike exclaimed getting Alex unwrap his arms from around me scratching the back of his head. "Dinner is ready you two…I swear, I need robots to spy on you two…" Mike said as Alex led the way out of the room as I followed him to where they insisted that I just sit and one of them would bring me my plate which I hated because I hate being served on hand and foot. Flake climbed onto my lap as I gently petted him watching the basketball game that was on when a plate was brought into view.
"Spaghetti for the miss." Alex said smirking as I gladly obliged by grabbing the plate that I was assuming he had made for me.
"Thanks Alex…" I said smirking as he sat down next to me and I was trying to make sure Flake didn't snatch any.
"Flake, bed!" Maryse said snapping her fingers which Flake obliged by running to the dog bed playing with his bone that he was given.
"Does he like human food?" Alex asked.
"I don't know, but I sure do think you like dog food." Mike said.
"What kind of insult is that?" I asked.
"A good one actually…well it sounded good in my head…" Mike said as we ate at our dinner peacefully besides Mike making the more than normal jabs at Alex but Alex took it with stride and let out his own chuckles. After dinner, Maryse went into the kitchen doing the dishes leaving me out in the living room with Alex and Mike, it was definitely awkward and I could feel the tension, I just stared at the top of my soda can that I was holding between my hands in my lap thinking of what to say to break the silence but knew the two properly didn't want to talk to each other and with the game playing they didn't want to talk either.
"Hey, you okay?" Alex asked in a whisper tone but it was louder than a whisper feeling his fingers brush a strand of hair, I looked up to him doing a side smirk.
"Yeah, fine…just thinking…" I said as he nodded, he leant over pressing his lips to my cheek and I blushed a little.
"I love you, never forget that." He whispered into my ear.
"Hey you two…don't make me get the spray bottle or don't make me squeeze between you two and you know I would." Mike said as I knew he would if we continued, we dealt with him for rest of the night until Maryse dragged him upstairs because she wanted to go to bed, which was probably a lie because knowing her she will end up reading one of her new romance novels.
"So, what was that about you having plans for us tonight?" Alex asked playing with the tips of my hair, I looked up at him from the position of leaning against his shoulder.
"I was thinking having a movie night and maybe we can…" I said smirking making eye contact with him blushing a tad.
"I would love to…but not sure about the second part…"
"You serious? I would think you'll be down…" I said kind of shocked and upset because I was kind of wanting to fool around with him.
"I don't want Mike to come down here and literally kill me more than he already wants to."
"Mike won't know, the moment he gets to sleep he is out for the count…he is more of a deep sleeper than I am."
"We'll see." Alex said as he smirked as I lightly ran my hand up his thigh and traced it over his zipper teasingly hearing him let out a soft moan in the back of his throat. "Uh…what movie you want to watch?" Alex asked as he stood up before I could continue what I wanted smirking knowing I was getting to him as he ran a hand through his hair biting at my lower lip as he looked through the DVD and movie cases.
"They aren't in there…and the only one that does is Beauty and the Beast, but you don't want to watch that." I said.
"Why not?" Alex asked looking back at me.
"Maryse and Mike decided to record their session, I found out the hard way…that was the second time that had happened…ew!" I said shivering of disgust.
"Yeah, I don't want to see that…what about Dodgeball?" Alex asked.
"With Alan Tudyk and Vince Vaughn? I love that movie." I said.
"Yeah, where are the DVD's at?" He asked.
"That I don't know…um…" I said looking around.
"You know, let's just see what is on the television, I don't want to make too much of a raucous and wake them up." Alex said.
"Nor do we need Mike coming down here every five minutes, surprised he hasn't came down yet." I said.
"Maryse probably is keeping him locked in there as best she could." Alex stated, which he was probably right as he sat back down grabbing the remote to flip through the channels as I got comfortable leaning into his embrace.
"I talked to Maryse earlier about your conference…she said she will do it and will say nothing but good things about you, she really likes you…she said that she isn't going to do it until you ask her yourself…" I said.
"I'll think about it…didn't I tell you not to worry about it?" He asked looking down at me smiling.
"Yes, are you going to punish me?" I asked smirking before I bit at my bottom lip.
"You're begging for it." Alex said as he leant over pressing his lips to mine for a kiss, I wrapped my arms around his neck the best I could as he slid his one arm around my back and the other under my legs scooping me into his embrace, he stood up still carrying me when we broke the kiss.
"You better not drop me." I threatened.
"I won't do that, will I?" He asked smirking.
"I don't know, will you?" I asked as he pretended to drop me panicking a tad clenching tighter on his back. "I fucking hate you, don't you do that again."
"Or what?" He asked smirking as he began sliding out between the couch and coffee table.
"I will have payback…my crutches…" I said noticing them still leaning against the wall.
"I'll come back and get them…but got to take care of you first." He said smiling as he kicked the door shut with his foot.
"Don't be too loud then Mike will be down here in an instant and catch us." I said in a whisper.
"Then we got to make it quiet and quick." Alex said as he set me onto the bed gently.
