I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Tara's Point of View-
We sat on the bed eating at the candy Alex just brought to the bed with him when I heard a knock at the door.
"Who can that be?" I asked curiously looking to Alex.
"I don't know, I haven't opened the door yet." Alex said sarcastically as I gave him a dirty look as he went to the door opening it and from where I was I saw him hug the person and I stood up walking into eye sight seeing my mom.
"Mom?" I asked.
"Daughter?" My mom asked as she brought her bag into the room with her.
"Boyfriend?" Alex asked as he shut the door behind her.
"What are you doing here, I thought you had work?" I asked.
"I did but I got out early and Alex told me his plans and invited me along." My mom said as I looked over to Alex smirking.
"You guys exchanged numbers?" I asked.
"I got to keep tabs on my son, why are you guys here?" My mom asked.
"Xavier is napping." Alex said.
"Phew, don't worry, I'll stay here with him and you two go have fun." My mom said.
"You sure?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'm exhausted." My mom said as Alex grabbed my hand and reached to grab my other hand tugging me out.
"Spare key is on the desk, we'll be back by midnight." Alex said as he walked out the room backwards pulling me with him, we got out into the hall. "Now what do you want to do?" Alex asked as he ran his hand through my hair before he rested it onto my hip where his other hand had landed.
"Well, there are going to be fireworks at nine and it's what?" I asked pulling out my phone seeing it was 6 PM, Xavier lasted longer than I expected.
"Six, you want to head to the park?" I asked.
"Only if you hold me on the Haunted Mansion."
"Why? You get scared?"
"No." He said smirking as he closed the distance between us pressing his lips to mine, "I love you."
"I love you too." I said smiling as I said it, we headed out to catch the next shuttle to the park where we headed back into the park and went straight to the Haunted Mansion. "I haven't rode this ride since I was a teenager." I said.
"Me neither."
"How often did you come to Disney World if you lived in Michigan?" I asked as we walked hand and hand into the giant elevator room with a group of other guests at the park.
"My parents brought me once when I was about Xavier's age and that was a mistake because my brother was a baby, like one or two years old, it wasn't wise on their part so we came back when I was like 13 and my sister was eight and yeah that was a lot better…"
"That wasn't a good move bringing a two year old." I said chuckling when he stepped behind me wrapping his arms around me as we listened to the audio being played along with the picture frames moving to expose the full paintings before the lights went out and they demonstrated lighting and a scream was playing through the speakers hearing Alex let out a fake scream getting me to jump.
"Did I scare you?" Alex asked as he kissed a spot on my neck.
"No." I said smirking as I looked back at him when the door opened to let us wander to the track, we walked through hand and hand taking our time and it got to our turn. "I hate this damn thing." I said as Alex pulled me with him onto the moving sidewalk and tugged me to jump onto the car next to Alex sitting down beside him going to pull the bar down.
"It'll do it itself." Alex said stopping me, I sat back and he wrapped his arm around me, I leant into his embrace as the bar was brought down to rest over our laps as our ride begun jumping closer to his embrace when things startled me and I knew it got him a few times and at the end we got off.
"It was scarier when I was a kid." I said.
"A lot of things are scarier as a kid but we grew up and out of those things." Alex said.
"Thank God for that, huh?" I asked as we took the escalator to the exit.
"But sometimes I wish I was still a kid, it was an easy life." Alex said as he grasped my hand as we climbed off the escalator and took the path to the main walkway.
"It was an easy life…all you worried about was playing outside, if macaroni and cheese was for dinner and trying not to color outside the lines." I said.
"That was exactly how my childhood was, hell that is my life right now." Alex said getting me to chuckle, "What shall we do now?" Alex asked as a canoe with other visitors rowed by, "I am not canoeing."
"Why not?" I asked turning to look at him watching the canoe pass us out of the corner of my eye.
"Last time I went canoeing was with Chris, my brother, sister and Chris's girlfriend and we tipped over into the icy water of Michigan and I went face first into the tree roots."
"Just don't go with them." I said smirking but yet trying not to laugh as I noticed the little island across the lake, "What's that?" I asked.
"Tom Sawyer Island, I think."
"Let's explore that." I said smirking as we walked to the raft boarding it letting the employee row us to the island where we got off going through the trails it had and did a little rock climbing helping each other out to get to the top. I sat down on the edge of the mountain we had climbed letting my legs swing over the edge and Alex sat next to me, he wrapped his arm around me letting it slouch over my shoulder.
"You're beautiful." Alex said as I felt him press his lips to my cheek feeling myself blushing. "You blush a lot…"
"Do you have a challenge on how many times you can make me blush?"
"No, but it's adorable." Alex said as he smirked as we leant our heads together, his forehead rested against my temple.
"This is…" I said stopping looking out over the park, the lake below and with the sun setting with the different colors from that.
"This is what?" Alex asked gently kissing my cheek again, I looked at him smirking as we made eye contact.
"This is perfect." I said getting him to smile as I leant forward pressing my lips to his for a kiss, "Thank you."
"Your welcome." Alex said as he got to his feet sticking his hand out to help me to my feet, "We have to go claim a spot for fireworks." Alex said.
"Good idea." I said as he led me to find a way down the mountain as we climbed down and rode the raft back to the main land then found our way through to the castle where we sat on the ground, well I sat between Alex's legs and I leant back into his embrace watching the firework display.
"You want some dessert?" Alex asked as we headed out of the packed area seeing an ice cream cart next to a glow in the dark cart.
"Sure, we should take some back for Xavier and mom." I said.
"For mom yes, but Xavier shouldn't have sugar this late, he will be up all night. I'll buy him a glow toy…I'm slightly tempted to buy that sword to fight with you."
"Sounds fun." I said smirking as we each got an ice cream along with one for my mom than got two light up sabers, I had one and Alex had the other one flinging out the saber turning it on and we both begun a saber fight in the middle of the park, I couldn't help but to laugh after we finished the fight where I stabbed him lightly in the stomach.
"You win, Xavier can't be that good." Alex said.
"Because he is only a young Jedi…you have a dork as a girlfriend." I said as I retracted the saber to make it easier to carry.
"I love having a dork as a girlfriend, because if you haven't noticed, I'm a dork as well…" Alex said smirking as he rested one hand on my hip leaning his forehead against mine smirking.
"Dork a quality you look in a girl?" I asked keeping the eye contact with him smiling.
"Why yes it is, and you have that special quality…" Alex said as he diminished the distance between us to press our lips together for a well wanted kiss. I couldn't help to smile more after the kiss broke, my eyes were still shut as our lips parted and when I opened them they were met with his beautiful hazel ones. "I love you." Alex said as he tried his best to run a hand through my hair.
"I love you too." I responded before he gave me one more small kiss before he slid his hand off my hip to grasp my hand. We then both begun to try to open our ice cream, we ate our ice cream like little kids would all the way back to the hotel going to our room letting ourselves in seeing Xavier still asleep like we left him and my mom was on her laptop.
"We got you ice cream." Alex said as he handed my mom the ice cream he bought her.
"Thanks. I took Xavier swimming and we watched Roger Rabbit until he passed out no more than 15 minutes ago." My mom explained.
"Disney World wears people out, especially those at his age." Alex said.
"That it does. I think I'm tired thinking about tomorrow." My mom said as she shut her laptop down.
"You're coming with us?" I asked.
"I am going to buy her a ticket, it's family time." Alex said as he kissed at my neck from the spot behind me.
"Sounds fun, we should get some sleep." I said.
"You two okay sharing a bed?" My mom asked as she slid her laptop into the bag, I looked back at Alex smirking and looked back to my mom.
"I think I can deal." I said.
"I mean, if your uncomfortable, I can-" Alex begun to say
"Alex, just go wash up." I said rolling my eyes as I plugged my phone in as I then went to grab my own pajamas to change into when Alex got out of the bathroom.
"How was tonight?" My mom asked as she was finally able to get the cord out of the plug from behind the night stand.
"It was fun, unique." I said smiling.
"It's only fun because I was there." Alex said as I turned to see Alex wearing a tank top and pants that were plaid.
"You make the party." I said.
"I do." Alex said as I went into the bathroom changing and washed my face before coming out seeing most of the lights besides the one by the door were off. I quietly joined Alex in bed, the moment I got to a laying position and I didn't even get the chance to roll over by the time Alex's hands had snaked around me pulling me into his embrace, when I got close enough I rolled over facing him smirking.
"New pajama attire, I noticed." I whispered.
"Didn't think mom would appreciate me wandering around in boxers."
"True…"
"But I can rock them right?"
"Totally." I said chuckling.
"Go to bed you two!" My mom said from the other bed getting us to laugh more.
"Good night Tara, I love you." Alex said as he pressed his lips to mine for a small kiss, I smirked as I repeated what he said, I cuddled closer to his embrace where I fell asleep until morning.
