I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
A/N: I KNOW I CUT IT OFF AT AN ODD SPOT IN THE LAST CHAPTER, BUT I HAD TO DO IT FOR SAKE OF THE LENGTH.
Tara's Point of View-
We got out to the main road heading down it to go to the Eiffel Tower that they had for visitors to go in.
"As for the independent shows, there are a few here in Florida, but most of the TNA talent doesn't touch those circuits because a lot of the FCW stars hit them…" Alex said.
"FCW?" I asked.
"Future Champions of Wrestling, it's WWE's training grounds and they do shows once or twice a week, that is where they send their talent until they are ready to be brought up or if they have characters ready for them."
"You know a lot of your competition."
"You kind of know a lot of who you are competing against especially if you grow up watching wrestling your whole life." Alex said as he grasped my hand interlacing our fingers.
"You got a point…would you ever consider going to WWE if they offered?" I asked.
"I don't know…it will depend…"
"On what?" I asked.
"Well, WWE they travel a whole lot more than TNA, they travel 4 days a week including their filming days and they travel across America almost twice a year and go overseas to numerous countries which I would love…"
"But?" I asked smirking knowing there was a but in there somewhere.
"I have been loyal to TNA, it is like my baby since I have been there for so long and worked so hard to get where I am now…plus, I can't leave Chris behind because he is like a brother to me, my tag partner and I don't think I could make it that far in WWE in the solo career, hell I don't have much of a solo career in TNA and have a better tag team career with Chris…plus I got my girlfriend I need to worry about as well because I will miss her beautiful face, her amazing personality, her awesome son and mom, and her generosity, and who will take care of me if I get injured?" Alex said.
"What about pay?"
"I don't care much about pay, I am pretty well off as it is now and the money won't be the final nail in the coffin." Alex said.
"Why doesn't TNA give you that good of a solo run especially now when Chris is injured to keep you in wrestling shape?" I asked curiously as we got to the Eiffel Tower seeing the stairs we had to start climbing to get to the elevator that would take us to the top. We begun our venture up the multiple stairs.
"I guess it is kind of the same way with Chris."
"What do you mean by that?" I asked.
"I was injured last year, the night I returned or the following week Chris got injured with his current injury…"
"That was bad timing."
"Your telling me…but when I was out on injury Chris barely got any as well…they are going to give me a push here in a little bit to feud with Austin Aries who I have worked with before because they have no one else to really work with him." Alex said.
"You work with him in the independent leagues?"
"I am sure I have, I have competed against a lot of people but I remember working with him the most years ago before I was teamed with Chris when we were doing these ridiculous competitions that they had Kevin run…"
"Shall I see these at some point?" I asked absolutely sure that these had to be great if Alex was even saying they were ridiculous.
"You might get a kick out of it…if you go to YouTube, I'm sure you will be able to find it…" Alex said as we got to the proper level for the elevator where we climbed on with fellow visitors to the park.
"What kind of ridiculous stuff did you do?"
"It wasn't that bad…I'm always down for doing those crazy things because I feel you only live once…"
"That we do, might as well do what you can huh? You never know when it's your last day."
"Exactly…it wasn't that bad, we did like a pogo stick contest, push up contests, musical chairs, and limbo from what I remember right now…"
"Sounds fun…you guys always have that much fun?"
"You know those moments at your family reunion where it may seem crazy but you continue doing it because it is fun and everyone is laughing?"
"Yes." I said.
"That is what it is like to work with TNA, the crew, the wrestlers, the whole production at our show is like a family…even down to the fans and we love being crazy together…hell we add to the madness…"
"How do you add to the madness?"
"Like if I say 'oh it'll be great if we did such and such' someone will say 'oh, you got to also do this…' which make whatever it is we are doing ten times worse but yet hilarious at the same time." Alex said as we got to the top and we filed out of the elevator heading straight ahead of us to the railing next to the window that looked out over the park, I rested my hands against the railing and Alex rested his hand on top of one of my hands as he stood beside me. "Hope you're not afraid of heights…" Alex said as I looked over to him smirking.
"It is kind of late to worry about that." I said chuckling.
"Yeah…can you imagine how much higher up we would be if we were in the real Eiffel Tower?" Alex asked as he moved his hand snaking it around my waist as he stepped closer to my embrace.
"I can only imagine…I also want to go to the top of the Statue of Liberty, that is on my bucket list."
"That has to be just as tall or between this height and the Eiffel Tower…"
"We won't know until we go one time." I said.
"Is that an invite to go with you?"
"I'm not going alone." I said smirking as I grabbed his hand where I interlaced our fingers together and moved it to be near my back as I begun tugging him as I walked around the Eiffel Tower reading the small facts about this Eiffel Tower they had built and the real Eiffel Tower in France before we found a door that led outside, we walked out onto the small platform walkway they had, that was when I really freaked out most, I think Alex knew how much I was freaked out because he wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me back into his embrace where I folded into his solid frame and he kissed at my neck making me feel comfortable.
"You won't fall, I got you." Alex said in a whisper as he gave my neck another kiss.
"What if you fall?" I asked turning to look at him.
"I won't fall…I never fall." Alex said as I rolled my eyes as we turned to head back inside when he tripped over the door frame catching himself.
"What was that about you never falling?" I asked jokingly.
"Once…" Alex said as I could tell he was sheepish about it as he grabbed my hand tugging me with him as we found our way back to the elevator taking us back down to the sets of stairs that we climbed down.
"Now to find out where my mom and son are." I said as I pulled out my phone to call my mom.
"No need, I know where they are." Alex said.
"Did you install a GPS in my son's mind?" I asked sarcastically and curious on how he knew.
"Your mom told me she wanted to take your son to the Aladdin show today…she said something about how Aladdin is someone's favorite Disney movie and Xavier's name wasn't mentioned."
"Yes, Aladdin was my favorite Disney movie growing up…not afraid to admit that."
"You probably just thought Aladdin was hot."
"If he was a real person, heck yes he would be…like you never thought any of the princesses were hot…" I said.
"I always thought that Belle would be hot."
"Belle from Beauty and the Beast?"
"How many other princesses were named Belle?" Alex asked sarcastically.
"Sorry, I had a brain fart…" I said as Alex just let out a chuckle after I said 'fart' which I wouldn't expect any less because Lord knows I laugh at that word too.
"You're the first girl that openly used that term to me."
"What about ODB?" I asked.
"She is different…the first girl that I was dating that used it openly, there we go." Alex said as we found our way to the Aladdin show where we slid in and stood in the back watching rest of the show and my son who sat second row on the ground sitting Indian style watching the show intently much like anyone else in the audience.
"I think we need to come back and catch the first part of this." I said.
"So you can see more of your stud muffin?"
"Is it wrong for me to want to get his number?" I joked.
"Work it sweetie." Alex said smiling as he leant over pressing his lips to mine for a kiss, "I love you."
"I love you too." I said smiling as we stood in the back until Xavier got up and ran up to us.
"Mom! Alex! Did you see the part where Aladdin did the sword fight?" Xavier asked when he begun reciting what the whole show was making sure we had saw it before we got in line to go on the bob sleds in which it was decided I had to sit in Alex's lap and Xavier was to sit on my mom's lap, it was fun but it shouldn't have been because it was more funny than fun because by the way I was sitting and how compact it was in those sleds that every time we went up a hill of sorts or went over a bump I will bump or hit Alex's junk causing him pain, I was trying so hard not to laugh at the noises that he had made but it was humorous nonetheless. After the bob sleds, we headed over to the Star Wars ride which Xavier enjoyed the most then we went on the Buzz Lightyear ride which I think Xavier enjoyed more because he sat with Alex in which they were shooting their laser guns at the targets trying to beat each others score, it was great that Xavier was getting into the gaming systems and I hope that he becomes more active than wanting to stay home and play video games instead. After that ride, Xavier seemed pretty beat and was already being carried by Alex, Xavier was yawning but was trying to stay as awake as possible but after a few laps around the same things he was fast asleep on Alex's shoulder.
"I think it's time we head back to the hotel to put the little one down for a nap." My mom said.
"Yeah, he is exhausted….maybe we will wake him up and bring him back for the firework display." I said.
"He can't go on this trip without seeing the fireworks." Alex said as he willingly carried him all the way, I think he liked carrying him because it made him feel like a dad and he said he loved my son, I couldn't help but to smile at the sight every time it had occurred. We made sure they stamped Xavier's hand along with all of ours before we found the proper shuttle going back to our hotel room laying him down to take a nap.
"I think I can also go for a nap, two people kept me up last night." My mom said smirking and gave as much of a dirty look as she could.
"Sorry." We both said in unison but we couldn't help the smiles that crept onto our faces.
