I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Tara's Point of View-
Alex put his plate aside as I grabbed a few more chips eating them quickly as I slid my shoes back on and grabbed a few snacks shoving them into my purse to take with us to the park so we didn't have to buy any snacks there. We rode the shuttle over to the park heading inside where Alex held onto Xavier's hand so he won't get lost in the shuffle with the crowds of people going in or out of the park, or the amounts of people in the park for that matter. We walked around the park until we saw Big Thunder Mountain Railroad seeing the train going through the tracks.
"Train? May we ride the train?" Xavier asked pointing to it.
"Let's go on that then." Alex said as we waited in line going up, I climbed into the row with my mom and Alex sat with my son, I was worried about my son being on this ride but I am sure he will be fine since Alex always has good reflexes. We rode the ride, it was a lot of fun and I could hear my son screaming from where I was sitting which was adorable. After that ride, we went back to Toon Town so he could ride that roller coaster again then went to Mr. Toad's Wild Ride that Alex had mentioned then found the Merry-Go-Round. When the gate opened, Alex ran with my son holding onto his hand hearing his giggles as they ran and I walked close behind as my mom was behind me but she wanted to stay off or stand next to a pole to snap pictures seeing Alex pick Xavier up and setting him down onto the ride before he stepped up onto the Merry-Go-Round and I climbed up behind him when Xavier went up to a purple horse. "You want this horse?" Alex asked.
"No, I want my mom to have this horse, I want the tiger!" He said pointing to the tiger next to it.
"Oh, my bad." Alex said turning to look at me as I let out a chuckle.
"Yeah your bad." Xavier retorted, it kind of shocked me but yet Alex just burst into laughter as he stuck his hand out.
"High five buddy." Alex said as Xavier gave him a high five before Alex pulled him up onto the tiger that was at Alex's shoulders helping strapping the seat belt around Xavier as I begun climbing onto the purple horse that Xavier picked out for me as I strapped myself in. "Where should I sit Xavier?" Alex asked.
"The kangaroo next to mommy." Xavier said giggling letting out a smile.
"Awesome." Alex said turning around as he rolled his eyes as he walked around the horse I was on tugging at the belt I had making sure it was okay before he got onto the kangaroo buckling himself up. "Get ready to bounce, mate." Alex said in an Australian accent, I just burst out laughing as my mom was snapping pictures of all of this and my son was so excited riding the tiger as the ride started, and the animals were going up and down as the actual thing went in circles for so many times listening to that dreadful music until the ride ended. I undid my belt going to climb off realizing that my horse was at the very top and it was far down. "I got you." Alex said as he stepped in front of me sticking his arms up to help me down.
"I don't trust you to hold all my weight." I said.
"Tara, I am 99% sure that Chris probably weighs more than you and look what I do for a living, I need strength…" Alex said as I thought about it realizing that he was right as I rested my hands on his shoulders as I swung my foot over the horse as he put his hands on my hips before I slid off and he helped me onto the ground, "Told you I got you." He said as he gave a cocky smile as he leant forward pressing his lips to mine for a slight kiss.
"Christmas cards next year." My mom said as we looked over seeing my mom standing there realizing she just snapped a picture of us kissing.
"I can't get this undone." Xavier said as I could tell he was tugging at the belt that was around his waist having troubles getting it undone, Alex walked over helping Xavier with the belt and picked him up off the tiger and moved him to sit on his shoulders.
"Are we ready for some fireworks?" Alex asked excitedly trying to get us pumped up as we climbed off the Merry-Go-Around.
"Yes!" Xavier said as he played a little bit with Alex's hair as we headed towards the castle where we got a spot in the back where we stood, Alex held Xavier's feet with one hand as Xavier held onto Alex by resting his hands on his head or on his shoulders, Alex wrapped his free arm around me resting it on my waist pulling me to his embrace kissing the top of my head watching as the castle turned a different color symbolizing that the fireworks were about to begin seeing the fireworks start hearing Xavier going 'oh' or 'ah' after every firework, it was quite entertaining. My mom was snapping picture after picture of the fireworks that were being displayed. After the firework display, we waited until the crowd dispersed until we try to figure out what to do, Xavier was still wide awake so we went and got in line for Indiana Jones which Xavier was excited for and I pulled out a snack for us to eat because Xavier was hungry. We got up there getting the second row, we put Xavier in the middle so it went my mom, me, Xavier then Alex as we started the ride and Xavier screamed and laughed the whole ride until we got to the bugs in which he did not like that one bit or when the snake moved to try to snap at the car like it was going to bite someone. After the ride, Xavier had tears rolling out his eyes and Alex picked him up into his embrace before I even got a chance to grab him resting Xavier's head on his shoulders running his hand through his short hair trying to calm him down as we climbed through the ride and go back out the way we came then decided we should head out of the ride, Xavier was much more calm down by that time so Alex put him down on the ground to walk and we couldn't think of much more to do so we headed out of the park which was probably for the best. We took the shuttle back to the hotel, I made Xavier shower before he laid onto the bed, Alex ordered a movie off the menu that was on the television, the movie was called 'Hotel for Dogs,' Xavier sat Indian style on the bed watching the movie intently as my mom was on her laptop doing work I'm assuming as I laid beside Alex, he had his arm wrapped around me leaning back resting my head on his shoulders looking up at him, he was watching the television intently smiling as I grabbed that hand that slouched over my shoulder bringing his hand to my mouth giving it a light kiss. Alex looked down at me smirking as we continued watching it as he kissed at the top of my head when the movie ended seeing Xavier yawn.
"I think it's time for bed." I said.
"I'm not tired…" Xavier said yawning and stretching.
"I'm tired…" Alex said pretending to yawn and stretch out a little bit.
"What are we doing tomorrow?" Xavier asked as he crawled up the bed to get under the covers as I got up from Alex's embrace walking around the bed to help tuck him in.
"We are going to the beach then going home." Alex said.
"The beach?" Xavier asked excitedly.
"You can't go until you go to sleep." I said as he nodded as he laid down covering himself up.
"Where's Dino?" Xavier asked.
"He's in your bag." I said as I went to the bag grabbing the dinosaur bringing it to him as he wrapped his arms around the plush dinosaur cuddling with it as he rolled over as I begun turning the lights off besides one for him to help him sleep as I went back climbing into the bed with Alex as he flipped through the channels finding the Nick channel stopping it there seeing it play Family Matters. "I haven't watched this since I was a kid." I said as I cuddled closer to his embrace resting a hand on his chest as I put my head on his shoulder when his arm snaked around me pulling me closer.
"Me neither…Urkel's antics make me laugh…no one ever has that much bad luck in history." Alex said as he let out a chuckle.
"Seriously…I have never done some of this stuff in my life." I said.
"Bull crap, you were a little hellion." My mom jumped in.
"Was not." I fought back.
"You were always getting into anything that was everything…you broke a whole watermelon because you wanted to know what was inside." My mom said as I just let out a few chuckles knowing that it was true.
"I must hear this whole story." Alex said intrigued as he gave my fore head a light kiss as I rolled to face him more scooting closer to his embrace feeling my eyes getting slightly tired as he rested his chin against the top of my head as I felt his fingers playing with the tips of my hair.
"A four year old Tara wanted to know what was inside the watermelon, instead of waiting the so many minutes for me to finish what I was doing, this little daredevil climbed her short self onto the washing machine and pushed the watermelon off the machine to a big splat and I can hear her laughing as hard as possible trying to repeat the sounds. I came around the corner and she was standing there covering her mouth as she saw me. I asked her what she did and her answer was 'I wanted to know what was inside.' She did it again with a jelly jar but she learned her lesson after that because she got glass stuck in her heal that led to us being in the emergency room for hours for them to pull that tiny glass out." My mom said.
"Beats any story I have about me." Alex said chuckling and smiling.
"None that you would care to share, I'm sure if your mom was here she would share the same type of stories." I said as I leant my head against the arch of his neck getting comfortable as his arms tightening around me.
"You cold?" Alex asked as he kissed at the top of my head looking down at me.
"Yes…I'm a cold person…I swear I am a vampire and have cold blood." I said as Alex helped me pull the blanket over us to cover us up and we got comfortable in each other's embrace again.
"Tara said you're moving down here, when does that take affect?" Alex asked.
"After the New Year, I got to pack up and start moving things." Mom said.
"I know a few guys that would help if you want it…just cook them a good home cooked meal and cookies to take home, they will be happy…" Alex said.
"Your wrestling friends are that cheap?" I asked.
"Yes we are, and we love our food." Alex said smirking.
"I may take you up on that offer." Mom said as I heard her shut the laptop behind me as I heard her shuffling about before I could tell she was finally laying down with my son.
"You asleep yet?" Alex asked as he scooted down to get comfortable on the pillow.
"No…thinking…tired but yet can't stop thinking." I said smirking nervously having the thought of taking Dixie's offer was on my mind because the last two days with Alex and Xavier, my mom even was great knowing if I signed with Dixie we could do more crazy trips like this and with us touring I know my mom will watch Xavier and sometimes Xavier can come with and explore the United States or other countries that I wished I could have done when I was a kid.
"About what? Didn't I tell you not to think on this trip?"
"You said not to worry, not think…so there." I said smirking.
"What are you thinking about? Maybe I can help." Alex said as I swallowed it and smiled anyway.
"It's nothing honestly…" I said nodding.
"You sure?" Alex asked as he ran a hand through my hair hating the fact that I didn't have the guts to tell him but I had a fear of signing a contract and working with him at the fact that I feared all of this was too good to be true, but why not think that? Nothing this good has ever worked out this good in my whole life, why now? "Just get some sleep, I love you." Alex said as he kissed me lightly on the lips, to my surprise I let out a light moan from how good the kiss was, it got him to smile. "Did I just hear you moan?" Alex asked making the red in my cheeks more dominant.
"It better stay to just one moan, because if it gets more than that or louder I am taking Xavier and we are leaving." My mom said in the other bed laughing as I smiled rolling my eyes as Alex was just as much laughing as I was.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it-" I begun to say when he pressed his lips to mine to get me to shut up trying not to let another one out when he broke the kiss leaning his forehead against mine.
"Don't ever be sorry about it…I thought it was extremely…sexy." He said doing a side smirk.
"I need ear plugs." My mom said.
"Good night, I love you." I said letting out a chuckle as Alex kissed the top of my head feeling his lips still pressed against the top of my head as we stayed in that position falling asleep.
