I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Tara's Point of View-
We found my mom and Chris sitting aside, my mom burst out laughing at something Chris had said when Alex squatted down behind my son.
"Hey bud, go give Chris a big hug." Alex said as Xavier smiled as he ran up to Chris climbing onto him giving him a big hug.
"Ugh, now I'm all wet…" Chris said as Xavier giggled.
"Alex told me to." Xavier said.
"Of course he did." Chris said.
"What do you guys want to do now?" I asked as Alex stepped behind me wrapping his arms around my waist holding me in his embrace.
"Again!" Xavier said.
"No Xavier, let's do something all of us can do…what about the ball pit?" I asked.
"Balls!" Xavier said excitedly.
"Let's go play with some balls…" Alex said.
"Alex!" I said.
"Oh, I mean…" Alex said as he looked to my mom trying to correct what he said.
"It's fine honey." My mom said as she slightly smacked his shoulder as we walked to the kid's play area that had this giant room filled with plastic toy balls that people can throw and shoot with the guns. My mom grabbed two buckets handing me one and Chris the other, Chris set his on his lap as Xavier held onto Alex's hand as they ran around the room grabbing balls tossing them into the bucket I had.
"We are going up top…" Alex said as he picked my son up resting him on his shoulder as he grabbed my hand dragging me with him as we ran up the stairs leaving my mom and Chris below collecting more balls. Alex held Xavier up with one arm as he was putting a ball into the gun, Xavier grabbed the gun moving it up and down and side to side, "Aim for Chris…" Alex said as he grabbed the gun with his free hand.
"But I don't want to hit Chris." Xavier said.
"It'll be fine…" Alex said as Alex pushed the button getting the ball to be shot out of the gun hitting Chris in the chest, I bit my lip trying not to laugh but my son was giggling already as Chris covered his chest with his arms in pain but it couldn't of hurt that bad.
"Guys, stop it!" Chris said rolling to a new spot, but it came a game because now he was a moving target which gave them practice.
"We need more balls." Alex said as we ran out of balls in the bucket I was holding, Alex set Xavier down on the ground as he went to grab the bucket.
"May I do it?" Xavier asked looking up at us.
"Absolutely buddy." Alex said as I handed my son the bucket.
"Go to Chris, hand him this bucket and he'll give you his bucket." I said as Xavier nodded as he begun on his adventure down the stairs.
"He seems like he's having fun." Alex turning to me after we watched my son go down a few steps.
"He loves this place only because of the Jurassic Park ride, he can ride that all day and every day." I said as I turned to lean against the railing, Alex stepped behind me wrapping his arms around me.
"So, do you love dinosaurs too? I mean, I did buy you one thinking that the one you had purchased was for you." Alex said, I turned around to face the man smirking and I can tell he was now doubting himself.
"I loved the dinosaur plush you gave me…" I said smiling.
"At least let me get you something else."
"That won't be needed, I already got everything I want." I said smirking.
"Well, I guess I did good on deciding on the right thing then if you still like it…" Alex said smiling.
"I love it because you chose it and it was given to me out of love…" I said pushing a strand of hair behind my ear, he leant forward pressing his lips against mine for a kiss as his hand ran through my hair finding the back of my neck. Our lips broke only for me to press my lips back against his for another kiss.
"Eeewww!" I heard my son exclaim, we broke the kiss instantly and wiped at our mouths looking at my son who stood at the top of the stairs holding the bucket.
"Come on buddy, let's actually shoot the balls at our targets than at Chris." Alex said walking over to my son handing me the bucket and picked him back up as they started shooting the gun again but was aiming for the baskets that were hung around the room. With each one that was made, Xavier screamed in excitement and Alex gave him a high five, Alex set Xavier down when we ran out of balls and Xavier ran towards the jungle gym.
"Be careful Xavier!" I exclaimed after my kid.
"I got him, don't worry." Alex said smirking as he wrapped his arm around me, he kissed me on the cheek as his arm slowly slid away from my body as he jogged after my kid to the jungle gym seeing him climb in after Xavier. I rolled my eyes as I picked up the empty bucket taking it down the stairs putting the empty bucket into the other empty buckets.
"He done?" Chris asked.
"Yeah, now him and Alex are running around in the jungle gym." I said.
"Alex could fit in there?" Chris asked shocked.
"He is a small guy…" My mom said.
"Not that small…" Chris said.
"He has a better shot than me." I said as I sat down next to my mom.
"He always loves running through these things but never had a real reason to do it besides now…" Chris said turning himself around to face us.
"I might have created a monster then…" I said.
"He is a monkey…" Chris said.
"You want to talk about being a monkey, this girl…she climbed on everything and anything that could be climbed…when she was old enough to walk, she climbed up the stairs and sat on the top step and her dad and I had no idea she could climb up the steps we spent hours running around the bottom floor looking for her until we heard her giggling." My mom said feeling my face blushing.
"Mom!" I said covering my face.
"Does Alex know this? He might think your hotter…" Chris said waggling his eye brows.
"We can monkey around…" I said as my mom laughed at it and Chris laughed because of my mom's laughter, she had a contagious laugh when Alex walked up to us carrying my son upside down by his feet, Xavier was cracking up laughing and he was wiggling around.
"Does he belong to anyone?" Alex asked.
"Hi mommy!" Xavier said as Alex pulled him up with the other hand cuddling him before setting him down.
"We ready to go? I got to head home tomorrow." My mom said.
"I got work too…" I said.
"Heading home? You don't live by?" Alex asked as Chris helped pull Xavier on his lap as we headed out of the ball pit to head out of the park.
"I live in Tampa." My mom said.
"I offered to let you live with me." I said.
"I am still considering it…" My mom said.
"I'll come live with you, I need a new roommate." Alex said.
"Please do….I'll appreciate it…" Chris said.
"Who said I would want you to move in with me?" I asked.
"Why not?" Xavier asked.
"Yeah, why not?" Alex asked looking over to me as he wrapped his arm around me pulling into his embrace, my hand instinctively landed on his chest.
"I don't know if I should trust you nor if I like you that much." I said smiling.
"I like him mommy." Xavier said.
"Me too." My mom said as we walked out of the park, "Where'd you park?" My mom asked.
"Employee parking…" Alex said.
"Your allowed to park there?" My mom asked.
"Yeah, they are employees of TNA so they can park at Universal's employee parking or at the Impact zone's employee parking." I explained.
"That's pretty cool for Universal let them do that…" My mom said.
"You work at Universal too?" Xavier asked.
"Sort of buddy." Chris said.
"What do you do? Mommy is a doctor." Xavier said.
"We wrestle." Chris said.
"Wrestle? What's that?" Xavier asked.
"It's a sport, your kid is deprived." Alex said.
"You're the reason why I deprived him of it." I said.
"I want to watch mommy!" Xavier said.
"I'll think about it." I said as we got into the parking garage.
"Aw, there is that beautiful blazer of yours." Alex said sarcastically.
"That's yours?" Chris said.
"Your going to tease me about it too?" I asked.
"No…it's very…um…classy?" Chris said as we went up to the Blazer where I unlocked the car, Alex ran over to the passenger side opening the door for my mom.
"Thank you Alex." My mom said.
"No problem mom, I had fun today…nice meeting you…" Alex said smirking.
"I could say the same." My mom said pinching his cheek as I opened the back door as Xavier climbed into the back seat of the car from where he sat on Chris's lap.
"Look!" Xavier said grabbing his dinosaur turning around showing Chris.
"Whoa, look at that." Chris said as Xavier handed it to him.
"That is a neat dinosaur." Alex said walking around the car, "Oh, I forgot to go grab the toy for you…" Alex said smacking himself in the forehead.
"It's fine Alex, he doesn't need it." I said shrugging as Chris handed the toy back to Xavier as he then put it back aside before he climbed into his car seat and buckled it himself. "Did you learn that while I was on the cruise?" I asked and he nodded, I double checked his seat buckle, "Say good-bye to Alex and Chris." I said.
"Bye Alex, bye Chris!" Xavier said excitedly as he waved at them smiling.
"Bye!" Alex and Chris said in unison as I shut the door leaning against the back part of the Blazer.
"I hope you guys don't mind my family…" I said.
"Nah, I had fun…" Chris said.
"Me too…" Alex said.
"I'm heading to the car to give you guys some alone time…." Chris said rolling away.
"We going to see each other again?" Alex asked.
"We'll see…thanks for today and being not yourself." I said.
"What you mean not myself? I was myself today…"
"You know what I mean…" I said as he stepped in front of me resting his hands on my hips.
"I know, I am good with kids and with parents…trust me, I won't let that ruin what we have…" He said smiling.
"What do we have?" I asked as he pressed his lips against mine for a slight kiss.
"Passion…intimacy…common interests…and that my friend is what we call a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship…" Alex said smirking as he turned around walking away.
"What does that mean?" I asked myself as I watched him walk after Chris looking back at me a few times as I watched him, I climbed into the car kind of stunned and not sure what to think after this whole day. I couldn't process it all and I still believed that Alex was fooling and was afraid that Xavier was going to ruin what we had, I was so self conscious about him finding out and now that he knows I don't expect him to stay much longer.
