I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Tara's Point of View-
I woke up the next morning hearing my phone ring, my eyes fluttered open realizing that my phone that was ringing, I saw Alex leaning back smacking at the nightstand grabbing the phone looking at it then handed it to me.
"It's Chris." Alex said in a mumble as he wiped at his face.
"Why is he calling?" I asked as I answered the phone, "Chris?" I asked.
"Have you seen or heard from Alex?" Chris asked.
"He's right here, why?" I asked.
"He was supposed to come help me pack, we are docking at noon."
"What time is it?"
"11."
"Oh, yeah…I'll send him your way." I said looking to Alex who had propped his head up on his one hand looking at me as he played with the end of a strand of my hair.
"Thanks." Chris said as I hung up.
"Chris needs you to go help him pack, we are docking in an hour." I said smirking.
"That quick?"
"Yep, that quick." I said.
"Alright…don't move!" Alex said as he climbed out of the bed putting his shoes on.
"Where would I go? I got to pack myself." I said smiling.
"Okay…I also have your number." Alex said.
"That you do." I said as I watched him leaving my room, I climbed out of the bed calling my mom and she didn't answer so I assumed she was still asleep or at the gym. "Hey mom, the boat is apparently docking at noon, but I don't know what time I will get off this boat so I'll call you then. Love you." I said as I hung up the phone as I sat on the bed looking at the phone kind of upset that this weekend has finally came to an end, what is going to happen to Alex and I after today? "I knew that this wasn't going to last forever…plus anyways when he meets Xavier he will break off whatever we have." I said to myself as I set the background of my phone to a picture of Chris, Alex and I that I took of us on the boat that took us into the Bahamas. I stood up packing everything that needed to be packed when an announcement came over the intercoms and television saying that the boat was now docked and that we are welcome to stay aboard until 3 PM, that there will be events taking place until then or we are welcomed to leave whenever we feel like it. I zipped up my suitcase when I looked over seeing the plush dinosaur that Alex had given me still hanging out of my purse, I smiled as I went and grabbed it smiling as a knock came to the door. I walked over to the door looking in the peep hole seeing Alex on the other side fixing his hair, I rolled my eyes as I opened the door, "What?" I asked smiling as I said it.
"You want to go grab some lunch? Chris is waiting for us at Subway." Alex said.
"Absolutely, let me grab my stuff." I said as I went back inside grabbing my purse, key and phone. Alex grabbed my hand leading me down to the restaurant seeing Chris already sitting at a table made for four, and Chris was looking at his phone. "You look bored." I said leaning against a chair with Alex standing behind me with his arms wrapped around me.
"I am…I was about to call my doctor to see if he's in." Chris said.
"Call away, we'll go order our food, what do you want?" I asked.
"Alex knows what I want." Chris said.
"I told you I can be smart." Alex said smiling as we went and got into the short line going through it ordering our food, when we got back to the table Chris was putting his phone up.
"Is your doc in?" I asked sitting down across from Chris so he could use the chair on his right for his foot now that he has to walk via crutches.
"Yeah, he has an open spot at 1:45, will you give me a ride?" Chris asked looking to Alex.
"No problem bro…" Alex said.
"You got to leave soon then…your doc is in Orlando right?" I asked.
"It won't take that long to get there, Alex is a speed demon." Chris said.
"I take the speed limit as a suggestion." Alex said smirking.
"Your one of those people huh?" I asked.
"Yep…" Alex said proudly.
"You working tomorrow?" Chris asked.
"Yeah, are you working tomorrow?" Alex asked.
"You'll find out." I said smiling, I wasn't going to tell them yes or no because I knew Alex would show up if I said yes and if I said no he would ask why I wasn't.
"I guess I would…" Chris said.
"You guys have to film tomorrow even though you were just on this cruise?" I asked.
"Yeah, we film two weeks in advance sometimes but I don't know why we didn't this time." Alex said.
"So why do you have to be there if your injured Chris?" I asked.
"I don't know, I honestly don't want him to be there." Alex said.
"You could always leave." Chris said.
"But honestly." I said.
"I have to be there, I'm obligated to be there and I have nothing else to do besides sitting at my house." Chris said.
"At least you do get out of the house and at least you have a friend there." I said.
"Who? Alex? He doesn't count as a friend." Chris said.
"I wasn't talking about Alex, I was going to say me…" I said.
"I think I'm a good friend." Alex said.
"You are…when you are not getting them in trouble." I said.
"Did you get in trouble last night?" Chris asked looking to Alex crossing his arms over his chest as Alex slowly bit into his sandwich.
"He got us escorted back to our rooms because he wanted to get into the ring." I said.
"He took you into the ring? Alex you know no one besides talent are allowed in the ring and no one is allowed in there after dark while on the cruise." Chris said.
"You knew we weren't supposed to be there but we went anyway." I said looking to Alex.
"Testing to see if you believed me and guess what? You did." Alex said smiling.
"Note to self, don't trust Alex or always question everything he says." Chris said.
"Like I do for you?" I asked looking to him.
"Yes…" Chris said.
"Did you call mom?" Alex asked.
"Mom, no one told me." Chris said.
"Yes I called mom, but she didn't pick up." I said.
"I hate when parents do that." Chris said rolling his eyes.
"I understand your parents, I don't pick up the phone for you half the time." Alex said.
"Like this morning?" Chris asked.
"Yeah, I ignored them…" Alex said smiling.
"So you waited until he called me to wake me up?" I asked.
"Yeah…." Alex said smiling bigger.
"You two were sleeping together?" Chris asked.
"Not sexually though." I said.
"No, it was totally sexual…" Alex said nodding his head yes.
"I'm going to believe her." Chris said as I finished my six-inch crumpling the wrapper sipping at my drink.
"Thanks for believing me Chris."
"I never believe Alex half the time." Chris said.
"Ditto." Alex said sipping his drink too.
"Well, we got to get going, you want to go get your things?" Chris asked looking to Alex.
"Yeah, we should get going…I'll walk you back to your room." Alex said looking to me.
"First, lets get Chris to his room." I said as I stood up taking care of my and Chris's trash as Alex took care of his. Alex hung onto my free hand as we escorted Chris to his room, he unlocked his door and I held the door open for him. "Are you going to be able roll your suitcase?" I asked.
"Probably not." Chris said.
"Why don't we go get our stuff and we'll come back and help you?" I asked.
"If you want." Chris said.
"Yeah, give us 15 minutes." Alex said.
"You work fast." Chris said jokingly nudging at Alex.
"I'm not that easy Chris." I said rolling my eyes as Alex rested his hand on the arch of my back leading me out of Chris's room. "Don't you have to pack yet?" I asked as Alex closed Chris's door all the way.
"All my things are pretty much already packed, as a wrestler you pretty much live out of your suitcase a lot of times so you learn to leave things in their spot in the suitcase." Alex said as he moved his arm to wrap around me hanging it over my shoulder and I wrapped mine around his waist. I didn't want to bring anything up about what would happen after we leave this ship or our future because I wanted to enjoy the last few moments with him when my phone begun ringing and I picked it up.
"Hey mom." I said as Alex and I stopped next to the elevators waiting for one to arrive.
"Just got home from the gym, I'll be there about 1 PM, are you going to be okay with that?" My mom asked.
"Yeah, that's fine…" I said.
"Okay, love you sweetie, see you then." My mom said.
"Love you too." I said hanging up the phone.
"When is she picking you up?" Alex asked as we climbed onto the elevator, he leant against the railing pulling me to stand in front of him and lean against his hard frame.
"1 PM." I said.
"What are you going to do until then, it's 12:30 right now?" Alex asked.
"I'm probably going to check out of my room and walk you and Chris to your car, between then and when my mom gets here shouldn't be that big of a time difference." I said shrugging.
"What are going to do for that long though?"
"I have my iPod and I'll go through the non-existed pictures." I said.
"Actually, why don't I call Chris and tell him we'll leave at 1 and then I can meet mom." Alex said as we climbed off the elevator heading to our rooms.
"That's up to you." I said trying not to smile that he may have wanted to spend more time with me.
"I'll call him, you get your things together." He said smiling as I smiled back letting myself into my room checking myself out of my room via the television, I left my key on the desk like you would do at an hotel and I grabbed my things heading out of my room.
