I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Tara's Point of View-
I walked out of the curtain behind Chris to walk him back to his room and allowed Alex to finish what he needed to do.
"After seeing your first wrestling match in person, what do you think?" Chris asked.
"It was good…a sport I could get used to watching…" I said shrugging.
"Why are you shrugging? You always shrug when you don't know." Chris said.
"How do you know me so well?" I asked.
"We have known each other for months now, we have spent too much time together." Chris said smiling.
"Just don't share that information with Alex, he seems to be the kind of guy that will get a kick out of it." I said.
"Kick out of what?" Alex asked as he ran up behind us stepping between us.
"Nothing…" I said.
"Know some of the information that I know about her…." Chris said smirking.
"What type of information is that?" Alex asked smiling as he looked from me to him.
"Chris, I will bust your other knee…" I threatened.
"You won't bust my knee." Chris said.
"Miss goody tissues." Alex said as he smiled with a chuckle.
"Am not, I have a bad side." I said as Chris almost lost his balance as he was trying to pull himself up the stair. "Whoa there…" I said catching him before he fell back all the way pushing him up further to the step.
"Thanks…" Chris said.
"Dude, you almost fell…" Alex said giggling as he was already at the top of the four steps.
"Shut up." Chris said as I helped him up the remaining steps.
"You have a bad side?" Alex asked.
"I can…" I said as we got to the top of the steps and Chris was able to move by himself.
"What is the worst thing you have ever done?" Alex asked.
"I stole a piece of candy from a store when I was a kid." I said.
"Seriously? That's it?" Chris asked stopping and looked at me with an intrigued look.
"Yeah, that's my bad side." I said.
"Psh, that isn't that bad…" Alex said.
"What is the worst thing you've done?" I asked.
"We've vandalized a club once…" Chris said laughing.
"Vandalized? How?" I asked in a worry about how much I truly know these people.
"We got in a fist fight with this pair of guys that was harassing these girls, we ended up throwing one through the window and the other guy went through a table." Alex explained as he put his hands in his pant pockets.
"Those guys were jerks." Chris said shaking his head in disbelieve.
"You guys did it out of protection of those girls…." I said smirking a tad that they only did it out of protecting the two girls from jerks like those guys.
"We got arrested and was in jail for one night, but the charges were dropped when the girls came forward. We replaced the table and the window at the bar, but we got free beers at the bar from now on." Alex said.
"I bet that is worth it, huh?" I smirked.
"Especially after hard days at work." Chris said.
"Your not supposed to be drinking with your medications." I said in my motherly tone and put my hand on my hip as I stopped where I was.
"Yes mother….I haven't drunk a beer since I took those medications…plus, I'm almost done with my medications…" Chris said.
"Good…when was the last time you took your medicine?" I asked reminding me of such thing.
"She does a good job at her job." Alex said as we turned down a walkway to go down to Chris's room.
"Doesn't she?" Chris said.
"A lot better than you guys." I joked.
"Ouch…" Alex said putting his hand over his heart pretending that it hurt, "That really hurt…I may shed a tear." Alex said.
"As you should." I said as we stopped in front of Chris's room.
"He will literally cry…" Chris said.
"Do you cry often?" I asked looking over to Alex after Chris made that statement.
"Real men cry…" Alex said.
"Like real men wear pink?" I asked as Chris unlocked his room and I opened it for him, I stepped in holding it open for him as he hobbled into his room.
"Real men do wear pink and have a good cry…I never had a full out cry fest…" Alex said as I let go of the door as he went to step through, "Hey, I'm walking here…." Alex said as he caught the door before it shut fully and hit him.
"I forgot about you…" I said.
"You just aiming to make me cry now, aren't you?" Alex asked smirking.
"It's not working if your smiling…" I said chuckling.
"Is she really this hardcore?" Alex asked pointing to me with his thumb looking at Chris, I walked over to Chris helping him scoot onto his bed and I grabbed a spare pillow sliding it under his knee and foot to elevate his cast.
"She can be…." Chris said.
"Hey…" I said.
"She isn't mean of sorts, she just loves joking around…" Chris said as he made eye contact with me smirking as I was fixing things on his bed.
"You want to change out of your ring gear?" I asked noticing it.
"I can do that on my own…" Chris said.
"We all know where her mind is this weekend, first she thinks we are strippers and now she wants to help you out of your clothes…" Alex said snickering a tad in a joking manner, I grabbed a pillow tossing it and he caught it before he was hit with it.
"Damn, good reflexes." I said impressed of the catch.
"He's a wrestler, he's supposed to have good reflexes, if not he won't be a good wrestler." Chris said.
"Is that a compliment Chris?" Alex said taking it as a compliment the way Chris said.
"Duh, we are a bad ass tag-team…" Chris said.
"Yeah, you guys are bad ass…" I said rolling my eyes.
"Yes we are…" Alex said.
"Well, if you need anything you know my number and room number…I'm going to go get something to eat before I explore rest of the boat." I said as I patted Chris on his good leg.
"Yep, I'll call you if I need anything…" Chris said smirking. I turned around seeing Alex standing at the end of Chris's bed and I simply nodded my head yes as I walked past him and out of the room as I headed over to the food court I had went to the other night grabbing some food to eat and I ate it at a table by myself in the restaurant before I tossed the trash away walking around the ship taking pictures of the posters and to the railings to outlook the ocean taking pictures of the beautiful ocean we were in.
"There you are…" I heard the familiar male voice say, I turned around seeing Alex and I couldn't help the smile that crept onto my face.
"Hey…" I said looking back at the ocean.
"Is this really wise for a girl that gets sea sick?" Alex said stepping beside me leaning against the railing and stared at the ocean as well.
"Not really, but wearing the patch and looking at the ocean doesn't make me feel sea sick." I said.
"Thank god your not feeling sick anymore…was heading to go do the meet and greet with all the guys, you want to come?" Alex asked.
"Chris going?"
"Does Chris have to go for you to go?" Alex asked in a somewhat offensive tone.
"No, but I was wondering if he needed help." I said as I felt my cheeks slightly turning red.
"Nah, Chris is already there, TNA's security came and helped him to our table." Alex said.
"How does this meet and greet go?" I asked as we both turned following him to this meet and greet.
"You walk around meeting all the stars that you would want to meet, like myself…" Alex said smiling.
"I've already met you…" I said smirking.
"Touche, but you can take a picture with me without me having to say no."
"Who would want a picture with you?" I joked.
"I don't know, to show your family…"
"I'll think about it." I said smirking as he walked beside me.
"Have I told you that you look beautiful in that outfit?" Alex asked.
"No…but thank you…" I said pushing a strand of hair behind my ear.
"No problem…" Alex said.
"How often do you guys do these cruises?" I asked curiously.
"This was our first cruise ever, does that make you feel more special?" Alex asked.
"How is it supposed to make me feel special?"
"To be a part of this…" Alex said as he pulled open the doors to the banquet room of the boat that wasn't set up for dinner but set up with multiple long tables rounding the room with multiple wrestlers sitting on the opposing side of them and fans were surrounding the middle of the room. "phenomenon." Alex continued.
"You guys truly have a lot of fans." I said glancing over to him as we stepped into the room.
"This isn't half of it…" Alex said winking as he left me at the door heading towards the table Chris was already sitting at signing items and taking pictures with fans with a sign behind him that read their tag team name. I watched him walk over there rolling my eyes and smiling slightly before I stepped forward into the madness of the fans trying to go line to line to meet the different stars, I walked around the room at first reading all the different names and trying to remember the faces with the names that I read before I got in line for the tag team Beer Money that were sat on the opposing side of the room as Alex and Chris. As I got to the front of the line, I stuck my hand out to shake their hands again.
"Hi." I said smirking.
"Hey there sweetie, you came to see us instead of those fools?" James said smirking before he looked down at an 8 x 10 photo of both of them signing it for me.
"Yeah, I spend enough time with them, I figure they will be last on my list to meet…" I said smirking.
"People can only take so much of them." Bobby said.
"May I get a photo?" I asked in hopes they would say yes.
"Absolutely honey." James said as they both stood up pressing their cheeks against mine as I stuck my camera out doing the classic 'facebook' type photo with them.
"How'd it turn out?" Bobby asked as I turned the camera around seeing that it got me and James perfectly fine but Bobby was too far away for me to get in the camera.
"It cut you off." I said.
"Hold on, Sara!" James said waving for the female security that was standing aside, there was a security guard at every other table for protection, she walked over towards us.
"Yes sir?" Sara asked.
"Could you take a picture of us three?" James asked.
"Absolutely." Sara said as I handed her my camera, James and Bobby leant onto the table and I smiled until I saw the flash go off again.
"Thank you so much." I said smiling as the guard handed me the camera.
"No problem." She said as she headed back to her post.
"Thanks guys, good match earlier." I said.
"Thanks….will we see you again?" James asked.
"Yeah considering I'm apparently Chris's assistant." I said rolling my eyes.
"Don't take any of their shit." Bobbie said as I grabbed the photo they signed before I moved on to the person beside them, I waited in line meeting the other wrestler that was sat beside them. I went around the room making sure Alex and Chris were the last two people I had met, I was happy with the people I had met thus far, they all seemed nice and down to earth. I was standing in line to meet Alex and Chris as I was looking through the pictures I had took on my camera stepping forward and when it was my turn Alex's face lit up with a smile.
"Finally decided to come see us?" Alex joked.
"I guess we aren't that important to her, I thought you loved us." Chris said.
"I wanted others to meet you before I got my chance…" I said as Alex grabbed their photo to sign.
"Sure….we know the real reason." Alex said in a teasing manner.
"You think you do." I said.
"I do know…I'm smarter than you think." Alex said.
"No he's not." Chris said as Alex slid him the photo to sign.
"Am too." Alex said offensively.
"I think your smart…to an extent." I said chuckling.
"You want a picture?" Alex asked willingly before I could say anything.
"Um…sure." I said unsure if I wanted to, Alex stood up to pose for the picture and I turned around, Alex pressed his cheek against mine as I put the camera out doing a facebook type photo like earlier.
"Guys, I can't stand up here…" Chris said.
"Hold your horses Chris." Alex said turning to look at him right when I snapped the photo.
"Way to ruin that photo." I said laughing as I turned the camera waiting for it to process and when it showed on the screen I cracked up laughing showing Alex and Chris the picture which got them laughing.
"Another one." Alex said as he wrapped his arm around me holding me tightly to his embrace as he pressed his cheek against mine smiling widely and I smiled just as wide as I snapped another photo turning around waiting for it to show up. When the new photo popped up, Chris photo bombed the photo by 'accidently' placing himself behind Alex and put a pout on his face with his arms crossed over his chest, he MADE the picture, I just laughed harder.
"You made that picture." I said showing Chris and he chuckled.
"Good." Chris said as I squatted down in front of the table and he leant forward to where our faces were mere inches to each other and we took a picture, this time Alex photo bombed us by sitting in the back flicking the camera off.
"Alex!" I said as I saw it and he just laughed.
"You're a dick." Chris said smacking him.
"Is there anyway I can get one of all three of us together?" I asked.
"Later." Alex said winking.
"Kinky." Chris said a little grossed out from Alex's wink.
"You know it." Alex said.
"Wow….I'm going to leave now…" I said grabbing the photo.
"Don't leave, just pull up a chair…I need help back to my room." Chris said.
"What happen to your guard?" I asked curiously.
"He's a little under the weather." He said nodding to the guard that now has his head shoved into the garbage can.
"Yeah…don't need to see that." I said quickly turning away.
"Your one of those people that gets sick seeing someone else do it." Alex said.
"Yes, I do…" I said holding my stomach.
"Please don't." Chris said grossed out.
"Got ya!" I said laughing at their reactions.
"That is something Alex would do." Chris said.
"Your the type of guy that splashes water on someone and pretend to sneeze?" I asked looking to Alex as I stepped aside to let other fans come up.
"Yeah, it's fun entertainment." Alex said.
"Go grab a chair and pull it up." Chris said nodding to a pile of chairs stacked aside.
"Will I get in trouble?" I asked.
"You scared?" Alex asked as he looked up to me smirking from the picture he was signing.
"No…" I said.
"Liar." Alex said as Chris was signing the picture.
"Watch this." I said leaving the table going to the stack of chairs pulling one out without getting any trouble carrying it to the table they were at.
"Good girl…." Alex said clapping a tad in an arrogant type way.
"I am…" I said as I sat down crossing my legs when I pulled out my phone that was vibrating seeing my mom calling, I ignored the call and put the phone aside.
"Who did you ignore?" Chris asked.
"My mom." I said.
"OoohhH, your going to get in trouble by your mom for ignoring her." Chris said.
"Am not." I said.
"I would be…" Alex said.
"Mama's boy?" I asked.
"No." Alex said.
"Yes." Chris said as they were posing for pictures and signing their pictures until fans were slowly leaving the room.
"Were you a daddy's girl?" Alex asked.
"Nah…that was my sister." I lied.
"You were mommy's girl?" Chris asked.
"I was neither…well, when I was younger until about age 10 I was my mom's girl then I was neither." I said.
"You were a rebel?" Alex asked.
"Not really…" I said as I texted my mom explaining I was out and mingling.
"It's that dang puberty that gets to everyone." Alex said.
"I hate puberty." Chris said.
"I wouldn't say that." I said giggling about the way he said it.
"It was a bitch, but now I love the fact I went through puberty." Chris said smiling.
"Why are we having this conversation?" I asked rolling my eyes.
"Chris started it." Alex said.
"I was just stating the obvious, after puberty it gets a lot better." Chris said.
"Puberty was awkward but I don't want to discuss it further." I said.
"Me neither…" Alex said.
"What? I'm not a pervert you guys…" Chris said.
"Anyways….I just didn't do the things that my mom liked, either my mom enjoyed what I did or my mom didn't like it…" I said.
"Isn't that how it always is?" Chris asked as fans were pretty much gone by now.
"Parents are strange…I vow to support my kids in whatever even if I dislike it." Alex said, I smirked a tad hearing that and that is the way I would want to raise Xavier.
"You say that…I think everyone says that they will raise their kids one way but they don't." Chris said.
"Not really." I said not thinking.
"You have experience raising a kid?" Alex asked arching an eyebrow.
"Oh no…my sister has a kid and she has stuck to what she had vowed to do." I lied as I stood up putting up my chair.
