I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Tara's Point of View-
Alex and I were gathering our things from the table to take Chris back to his room before going back up to our rooms.
"Can you guys hurry up?" Chris asked.
"What is your rush? You're just going back to your room." Alex said.
"Batman is about to come on." Chris said excitedly as he was rolling himself towards the door.
"Oh, how could I forget?" Alex said rolling his eyes as he grabbed my hand resting it between our bodies as we walked slowly behind Chris.
"I had fun tonight." I said smiling.
"Me too…I always have fun when I am with you." Alex said.
"Oh god, I do NOT want to hear this." Chris said as he was trying to roll himself faster.
"Hear what?" I asked curiously as Alex and I went up the two steps next to the ramp to give him his distance.
"Your mushiness, it's sickening." Chris said.
"Mushiness? Is that even a word?" Alex asked.
"It should be, the act of being mushy." Chris said.
"When will that ever come into ones vocabulary?" I asked.
"I just did." Chris said.
"But your weird." I said.
"I'm weird? Look at who your holding hands with." Chris said as I looked over to Alex, I couldn't help but to smile, he just made me happy.
"We are all weird in our own ways." I said as we turned down the hall getting to his door.
"What makes you weird?" Alex asked.
"I'm with you, isn't that weird enough?" I asked getting Chris to laugh as he was unlocking the door for himself.
"I should have saw that coming." Alex said nodding letting out a chuckle when I opened the door, holding the door open so Chris could roll in and let Alex walk in as Chris moved himself carefully to his bed instantly turning his television on.
"Do you need anything?" I asked as I put a pillow under his knee.
"Nope..." Chris said as he turned it to the movie channel.
"Tara, he has Batman, he's good." Alex said as he grabbed my hand tugging me towards the door.
"Do you need help packing tomorrow?" I asked turning back around to continue the conversation as Alex walked back letting the hands that were connected fall back to my side.
"If I do, I won't ask you." Chris said.
"I'll help you don't worry." Alex said as he grabbed my other hand pulling me to the door.
"Night Chris, hope you had fun!" I said looking back at him momentarily as Alex pulled me out of the door as we stood outside Chris's door, he stood in front of me as I looked at the plush toy that was between our hands.
"You tired?" Alex asked running his fingers through my hair.
"No you?" I asked, I felt awkward as I fixed the strand of hair that was now messed up, we were both smirking and it seemed very awkward.
"No, you want to go for a walk?" Alex asked.
"I would love that." I said smiling as he smiled again, he grabbed my hand interlacing his fingers with mine. "Thanks for the dinosaur, it's really cute."
"What's cuter? Me or that dinosaur?" Alex asked as we walked down the stairs that led us out to the main deck.
"Definitely the dinosaur." I joked.
"I could say the same." Alex said, I looked to Alex giving him a shock expression before I started chuckling.
"You really impressed me at those games tonight."
"Well…I tried." Alex said as he blushed a tad as we reached the deck not seeing anyone around besides the ring and the tent.
"Does your company do a lot of charity work?" I asked as I let him lead me to the railing that surrounded the ring.
"We try our best to give back as much as we can…I love it." Alex said as he let go of my hand to start climbing over the railing.
"What are you doing?" I asked in a whisper looking around.
"Going to get in the ring, come on." He said in a whisper back as he swung the other leg over the railing.
"Aren't we going to get in trouble?" I asked looking around again when he grabbed my chin turning to look into his big brown eyes and saw a big smile on his face.
"Look who you're with, do you think you'll get in trouble when I'm around?" He asked as I went to answer but he stopped me, "Don't answer that, I am the talent so we won't get in trouble for being in the ring." Alex said as I let out a sigh still worried but trusted Alex enough after tonight. He helped me over the railing and we both climbed into the ring.
"Why didn't we go through the curtain?" I asked trying to get used to being in the ring, I was looking around seeing what it was like in there coming face to face with Alex who was sitting on the top turn buckle.
"That's too easy…what do you think of being in the ring?" Alex asked.
"It's definitely different…not as soft as I thought." I said.
"Lay down."
"Excuse me?" I asked not sure if I heard him right.
"Lay down, to look at the stars." Alex said pointing up at the night sky as he jumped off the top turn buckle.
"Oh…" I said nodding as I slowly got down to the mat laying down and he laid beside me, I was pulled into is embrace where I rested my head onto his shoulder and his arm was wrapped tightly around me as I rested the dinosaur on his stomach.
"That's the North Star." Alex said pointing up to the sky full of stars not quite sure which one he was pointing to.
"How can you tell if it's the North Star?" I asked looking up at him meeting with his big brown ones.
"It always the brightest star and it's always North to where you are and it can lead you home, so we are going that way."
"So there is no hardcore evidence that is the North Star, so that can be it or that one." I said pointing to other stars in the sky to make my point.
"You've made your point…see that's the big dipper." Alex said as he begun pointing out other things in the sky I could never find normally.
"How do you know all this?" I asked as I cuddle closer to him to get more body warmth looking up to him.
"Took Astrology 105 in college." Alex said smirking.
"What did you major in again?" I asked.
"Liberal Arts…you want to learn a few moves?" Alex asked running his hands through my hair. I looked up to Alex unsure if I heard him right as I rolled over to look up at him more comfortable resting my chin on my hands that rested on his shoulder.
"Why would I want to?" I asked sarcastically.
"To beat me up when you want and to protect yourself"
"From who?" I asked.
"Bad guys like me." Alex said he ran his hand through the roots of my hair playing with it for a little while.
"Your not bad…annoying but not bad."
"You cracked me, so I'm not that bad."
"That your not….your too good." I said smiling.
"I meant bad guys like thugs."
"Will I get hurt?" I asked.
"No, I'm the professional and I'll take all the hits." Alex said as he moved so he could jump up to his feet by thrusting and pushing himself up.
"Impressive." I said as I sat up, he turned around smiling.
"Give it a try." Alex said leaning against the ropes.
"I can't do that, I'm not that talented."
"It takes time and practice…here." Alex said sticking his hand out helping me up to my feet.
"You won't get hurt will you?" I asked worried.
"Psh, don't worry." He said as he turned me around wrapping his arms around me, "If he attacks you from behind, what would you do?" Alex asked as I thought about it before I elbowed him in the face, stepped on his toe then nudged him in the gut before I turned around now that he broke his grip to go knee him where it counts; he grabbed my leg, "Whoa! Not there, I'm not wearing proper protection for that. Let me teach you a move that would do just as well, it's good to turn around to see what they look like but if they have their hands in an area that you are able to grab them and flip them…try it." Alex said sticking his arm, I looked at it then at him.
"I'm not that strong." I said.
"It's not about strength, it's adrenaline. You want me to piss you off? I can piss anyone including you off." Alex said.
"I bet you could, but how would I be able to flip you over?" I asked.
"Turn around and go with what is natural." Alex said feeling butterflies in my stomach as I grabbed a hold of his wrist trying to turn it the way if he would to flip him over and he did the flip by himself landing on his butt then laid back.
"Oh my god, you okay?" I asked dropping to my knees beside him.
"Got you!" He said sitting up and tackling me back to where he was laying on top of me tickling me.
"Alex!" I exclaimed between laughs when a beam of light from a flash light was shined on us.
"What are you two doing in there? You two got to go." The security guard said as we looked at him.
"Way to go Alex." I said looking back to Alex smiling as he looked down to me for a few moments after making eye contact and smiling himself.
"You knew me too well." Alex said smiling more as he got up and helped me up helping me over to the ropes where he stepped down on the bottom rope and held the middle rope up as I slid out. I sat down on the apron and climbed down from there as he climbed out of the ring and jumped off the apron where we had walked through the curtain and the security guard escorted us back up to our individual rooms. When we got inside, he walked through the connecting door and we couldn't help but to laugh.
"Always getting us in trouble, I swear." I said smiling as I walked over to my bed leaning against it and he leant against the door itself.
"What can I say? I'm just bad to the bone…" Alex said smirking.
"I doubt that…I think that you have a good side." I said.
"Only around you."
"I doubt that since you just got me in trouble." I said smirking.
"I got you in trouble because I like you." Alex said as I looked up to him, he was looking down at his feet.
"Pull the pigtails of the one you like, huh?" I asked as he looked up at me making eye contact.
"What they say is true then." Alex said smirking.
"You want to join me, I think Batman is still on." I said.
"Which one is it?" Alex asked as he walked further into the room to watch the television as I turned it on changing it to the movie channel.
"It looks like Batman Begins with the Scarecrow." I said.
"You watch Batman?"
"I've seen them, yes…"
"Which one is your favorite?" Alex asked looking over at me smirking.
"Dark Knight is my favorite thus far." I said.
"Move, I want to sit and watch." Alex said.
"Hold on." I said moving to give him enough room to sit or lay beside me, he climbed onto the bed beside me laying down and he wrapped his arm around me pulling me closer to him letting us lay like we were out in the ring. "I liked the Scarecrow character though…" I said.
"I've seen scarier creatures…"
"But I think he is scarier than they had in the original movies…" I said.
"I like the Batman movie with Adam West…"
"That movie always makes me laugh…my favorite part is where he's running with the bomb and afterwards he is like 'Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb.'" I said laughing thinking about it and he laughed too as he leant his head against mine making us closer.
"Do you watch Family Guy?"
"Yes…Adam West makes that show…not as much as Herbert the Pervert or Bruce." I said.
"Herbert the Pervert is amazing…Oh No!" Alex said doing it in Bruce's voice getting me to laugh.
"They are so mean to Meg in that show." I said smiling as I made eye contact with him, were mere inches apart from each other.
"But yet you are laughing about it."
"Yes I do…have you seen the one with that horse?"
"With the crazy eyes?"
"Yeah…" I said laughing.
"I think I've seen every episode."
"Me too…" I said as I moved closer to him, he wrapped his arms around me as my head rested against his chest, Alex reached down pulling the covers over us when it got cold in the room before my eyes closed on their own falling asleep wrapped in his arms.
