I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Tara's Point of View-
I walked out seeing Alex and Xavier sitting on the ground playing with the Lego's that were dumped out onto the floor. I sat on the couch pulling my legs onto it with me as I watched them build whatever they were building.
"What are you guys building?" I asked curiously.
"I'm building a building…" Xavier said.
"I guess that is what I'm building too." Alex said as he looked at the different colored squares that was in his building.
"Told you that it's impossible." I said.
"Did it come with instructions?" Alex asked.
"Why would Lego's come with instructions? You build from your imagination." Xavier said as I let out a chuckle.
"He got you there Alex." I said.
"Well, let's try this again…we will build a dinosaur." Alex said.
"You're going to build a dinosaur?" Xavier asked excitedly.
"I'm going to try…I don't even know if this is enough Lego's." Alex said as he looked at the amount of Lego's that they had.
"May I help?" Xavier asked.
"Sure…let's begin, tear apart your building…" Alex said as Xavier did just that as Alex did the same, I watched as Alex and Xavier were putting Lego after Lego together and they were able to get the two legs but when they went to build the body was when they got stuck.
"What do we do now?" Xavier asked as he then yawned.
"Go to bed…." Alex said noticing the yawning.
"No, I'm not tired…" Xavier said.
"I am bud…it will let our creative juices get some rest…" Alex said.
"Creative juices?" Xavier asked confused.
"Your brain needs rest and that is where your imagination and creativeness comes from …" Alex said.
"Okay, are you going to bed too?" Xavier asked.
"I'm going home after I put you to bed, climb on." Alex asked getting to his knees and held his hands behind his back as Xavier climbed onto his back and Alex held onto Xavier's legs as he stood up carrying him back to his room, I stood up following them back to the room as Xavier changed into his pajamas that he had pulled out from the drawer that was a little taller than himself and climbed into bed.
"Alex, can you read me a bed time story?" Xavier asked.
"What stories do you have?" Alex asked as he scanned over the books that he had.
"The three pigs." Xavier said, he sure did love that book.
"It's the one on the edge." I said as I pushed myself off the doorframe walking into the room as Alex found it pulling it off the shelf and sat on the edge of the bed opening the book as I plugged in the nightlight and fixed the blanket that covered my son before I kissed the top of my sons head. "Night Xavier, I love you."
"Night mommy, I love you too." Xavier said smiling as I stood up walking around Alex's legs.
"I don't get a kiss?" Alex asked.
"You'll get one later." I said looking back at him from the doorway smirking and he smiled too as I headed out to the living room.
"Did you guys buy the fireworks?" My mom asked.
"Yeah, they are in the other room…tomorrow Chris is coming over as well and I got to get him a present yet." I said as I sat down next to her turning the television on.
"What do you have in mind?"
"I don't know…might just make him something from around here…" I said looking around knowing what I could make.
"What time they coming over?"
"I'll have to ask Alex…" I said as I found a movie on the Lifetime channel pushing the button to play even though I knew I wasn't going to watch the whole thing because I was beat and knew that tomorrow will be another long day. "When you looking at bringing your stuff over?" I asked.
"Well, that depends, when are you ready for me to begin moving the stuff over?" My mom asked.
"What about next weekend?" I asked.
"That soon?" My mom asked.
"Well, they film the shows on Monday and Tuesdays I believe, that way they can get their work-out in and your moved in, I'm sure Alex is going to drag us to the tapings now that you'll be up here." I said.
"Yeah, that sounds good and I can make some phone calls to get a U-Haul and you can help clean out things, we can have a garage sale as well…" My mom said.
"We can't do both mom." I said.
"Well, we can do the garage sale after I went through everything." My mom said.
"Okay…" I said nodding as Alex walked out running his hand through his hair then scratching at the back of his head letting out a yawn. "I think it's time you head home…your probably just as tired as I am." I said knowing how exhausted I am from the trip.
"Yeah…I'm pretty beat plus tomorrow is going to be a long night…" Alex said.
"It is…let me walk you out so I can grab the car seat." I said as I got up walking over to him, he wrapped his arm around me resting his hand flat on my back letting me lead him out of the house.
"Alex, before you leave…next weekend I am planning on moving, can you get your strong guy friends to help?" My mom asked as I opened the door, I turned around leaning against the door slightly looking from my mom to Alex who looked from my mom to me then back to my mom.
"Absolutely…only if this pretty lady is going to be there and there is a home cooked meal involved." Alex said smiling.
"Well, she will most definitely be there and I will make sure there will be a meal provided." My mom said smiling.
"Then I will make sure I'll be there with some friends to help, just send me an address and time and we'll be there ma'am." Alex said smiling.
"It's a date then." My mom said.
"Night mom." Alex said.
"Night Alex…" My mom said as I stepped out onto the porch and he pulled the door shut behind him, he grasped my hand and reached for my other making me have to walk backwards. He pulled me close to him letting his hands wrap around my waist interlocking behind my back as we stopped in the middle of the sidewalk where he leant forward pressing his lips to mine for a slight kiss and I snaked my arms around his neck grasping his hair holding him there for a deeper kiss. Our lips broke and I pressed mine against his again a little more aggressively getting embarrassed pulling myself back putting a hand to my mouth shocked as I sheepishly looked the other way.
"What's wrong?" He asked as I felt him push his hand through my hair.
"I can't believe I just did that…I'm sorry…" I said.
"It's fine…I liked it…"Alex said smirking when the porch light flicked on and we looked over seeing my mom looking through the window holding the curtains open smiling.
"She is such a creeper…" I said letting out a chuckle.
"Not a creeper, she is just a protective mom is all…" Alex said.
"Does she have a reason to be protective?" I asked curiously as I leant back against his arms resting mine on his chest.
"Nope…all she needs to do is protect you from is me showing you too much love." Alex said smiling as he leant forward giving me another small kiss before we walked the short distance to his car pulling the car seat out and he walked with me to my truck where I put it into the back seat shutting the door then turned to leant against it.
"I guess this is good night." I said looking down at my feet.
"Yep…" Alex said as he ran a hand through my hair.
"I had fun today, the last few days more like it…" I said smiling looking up making eye contact with him smirking.
"Me too…tomorrow will be fun too…I should get going…I love you." Alex said.
"I love you too." I said as I wrapped my arms around him pulling him into a tight hug and he wrapped his arms around me holding me close to him feeling him press his lips to my neck before I leant back pressing mine to his lips for a slight kiss. "See you tomorrow?" I asked.
"There is no question about it…" Alex said.
"Is Chris staying the night as well?" I asked as I walked with him the short distance to his car.
"If you don't mind…figured you and I can share the bed and he can get the couch…"
"We can do it that way…" I said smirking as I moved a strand of hair behind my ear nervously.
"Well good night, and I'll text you when I get home, of course before I leave tomorrow…we'll bring dinner so you don't have to bother to cook." Alex said.
"Thanks for that…night Alex, I love you." I said as I leant forward over the door that separated us pressing our lips together for a quick kiss before he climbed in and I helped close his door, I walked around the car standing on the sidewalk watching him pull away before I walked through the grass up to the front door letting myself in seeing that my mom had turned it in for the night. I did a few small things before turning lights off along the way back to Xavier's room looking in on him before I made my way to my room unpacking my bag and moved the bag off my bed snuggling into my bed for the night, I didn't even bother to change as I wrapped my arms around the bull dog that I had won earlier that day thinking about the last few days events smiling and fell asleep thinking of the fond memories.
