Saturday-
Tara's Point of View-
Alex was able to collect a few guys to go with us to my mom's house to pack up her things and load up a U-Haul to drive to my house, I promised I will cook them a home cooked meal and I don't know what to cook as of yet and I need to figure it out soon. There weren't a lot of them, it was James, his wife, Robbie, his wife, Eric, Chris (who probably couldn't help much but boy was he trying his hardest to move around but now he had a walk able boot to use), and Alex to help so I didn't have to cook for that many more people. Alex volunteered to drive the U-Haul for us since he claims he has driven one before and he followed my mom and I up to her house where the others were already there waiting. We climbed out of the car heading into my mom's house where us girls, with little help from Xavier walked around putting things into boxes and Xavier had more fun with the guys. All the guys and girls were real good with him, they would flip them onto their shoulders, give him rides on the dolly, chase him around the nearly empty house or execute wrestling moves on him but not enough to get him hurt. I just had to laugh at the scenes, we were able to get it all packed up but by that time it was practically 8 PM because that was a lot of work and a big house to do.
"Everyone okay with pizza?" I asked as we gathered around at the trunk of the U-Haul.
"PIZZA!" Xavier exclaimed as he woke up from his nap in Alex's arms scaring Alex a tad.
"Well, the little guy answered for us." Eric said smirking.
"Pepperoni okay with everyone?" I asked clapping my hands together.
"Yes ma'am." James said.
"I'll do two pepperoni and one cheese, if there are leftovers I will send you all home with some…with that being said, follow the big U-Haul to my house, I would say follow me but I'm going to pick up the pizza." I said smirking as everyone chuckled. "Mom, you want to ride with Alex in the U-Haul?" I asked knowing she had a set of keys to my house.
"Yeah, we'll see you at home." Mom said.
"I'll ride with you." Chris said.
"Sure…" I said kind of shocked but yet happy with him wanting to ride with me, Chris climbed into my car with me and we talked the whole trip, I actually liked Chris and he was a great guy. I think I really did need to get to know him more if Alex and I got any more serious, I drove by Universal on the way to the pizza place reminding me about Dixie's offer and I figured to ask Chris about it, of course hypothetically. "So Chris, hypothetically if I were to go to TNA to work, what will be different? I mean, are they kid friendly?" I asked as Chris smirked and he looked to me.
"I think you'll like it…you get to travel, very light travel and you get to choose when you travel if you want to travel because since I'm not a trainer or medic person I don't know how they deal with the travelling side of this company but you choose if you want to go or not as talent. They love kids and they understand that we all have our own families and loved ones we need to think about…you considering it?" Chris asked.
"No, just wanted your opinion…" I said.
"I think it'll be great…what are your doubts?" Chris asked.
"One, that there isn't a job there and two, what if Alex and I end up breaking up? Wouldn't it be weird?" I asked thinking that is the biggest thing right now is Alex and my relationship that is scaring me the most because I feel myself growing so attached to him as of late.
"If you and Alex have lasted this long, you will last a lot longer…it won't be too weird, it'll only be weird if you make it weird…I think you should do it personally…" Chris said.
"Thanks Chris…can you keep this between us?" I asked.
"Absolutely." Chris said smiling as I picked up the pizzas and we went back to my house already seeing them unloading the U-Haul, they even had my son carrying boxes, probably the lighter boxes into the garage or into the house. I went into the house setting the pizza down in the kitchen and begun pulling down plates and napkins for everyone taking it out to the table setting them up along with grabbing soda for everyone except for my son who had gotten milk.
"Dinner is ready." I said as everyone stopped what they were doing, we all sat around the table eating away at the pizza that was bought and it was nothing but laughter, sharing stories and memories along with wrestling.
"When is this little guy going to come by the show?" James asked as he ruffled my son's hair as he slid behind him to go into the kitchen.
"Yeah, mom, when are we going?" Xavier asked.
"What about Tuesday?" Alex asked.
"May we mom?" Xavier asked.
"We'll see." I said.
"What kind of answer is that?" Eric asked.
"Fine, we'll go Tuesday…" I said smiling nervously as Alex reached over grasping my hand pulling it to rest on his lap as we continued talking letting the time slip on by, when I realized what time it was I immediately made Xavier go to bed as rest of us adults finished unloading the U-Haul thanking them for helping us for the day and said we'll see them Tuesday.
"Chris and I are heading home, I'll see you Tuesday?" Alex asked as I stood outside on the sidewalk in front of his car where Chris sat in the car waiting for Alex.
"Yeah, I'll bring mom and Xavier…what time would you like us there?" I asked.
"Be there at 6, we'll have dinner in catering." Alex said as Chris honked the horn, Alex turned around giving him the finger before he turned around, "He's getting grumpy, I'll see you Tuesday." He said as he leant forward pressing his lips to mine for a quick kiss before he headed to the driver's side. "I love you." Alex said.
"I love you too!" I said smiling as I headed up the driveway heading into the house exhausted from the day events going straight to bed.
Tuesday-
Tara's Point of View-
I took the day off work to be with Xavier rather than taking him to daycare and helped my mom unpack, figured it was just one day and I was nervous about tonight. We spent the day together and I got ready, Xavier insisted on wearing the leather jacket and the shirt that Alex had given him for Christmas, I put his hair into a mo-hawk before we went to the park parking near the studio where they filmed seeing Alex standing outside waiting for our arrival and I had butterflies in my stomach nervous about tonight as we approached him, he pulled me into a hug and gave me a quick kiss.
"Hey beautiful." Alex whispered as he gave me another kiss.
"Hey yourself." I said smirking.
"Look at you buddy, your all decked out…what about the pants?" Alex asked.
"Didn't want him to ruin them." I said as Alex picked Xavier up to carry him throughout the back.
"Next time then…hey mom."Alex said giving my mom a hug, "Follow me guys." Alex said as he led us through the studio introducing us to a few other people that I hadn't met when we got to catering heading into the room with a few of the talent. Alex helped make Xavier's plate along with his own as my mom and I made our own before we found a table sitting down.
"Is this how a taping always goes?" My mom asked.
"Majority of the time, there is a lot of down time before a show…" Alex said.
"Why do you have to be here so early?" Xavier asked as he took a bite into his peas.
"So I can get change, stretch, and talk with the other stars…" Alex said.
"There is a lot of work that goes into the show than what you see." I said smirking as we ate our meal meeting a few more people before Alex walked us to our seats kind of glad we hadn't ran into Dixie yet but knew it would be a matter of time until that happened, we watched the show and Xavier had the most fun watching it than my mom and I combined. After the show, we sat there until Alex came out walking us through the back.
"Mom, I have to potty." Xavier said.
"Okay, Alex we have to take a potty break." I said.
"Okay, follow me…" Alex said as we followed him when Dixie walked out of a room making me gasp before swallowing a breath. "Hey Dixie, you remember Tara right?" Alex asked starting the conversation getting nervous about what she may say.
"Tara, how nice to see you…I have that job description for you." She said.
"Excuse me, what?" Alex asked.
"The bathroom?" My mom asked grabbing my son's hand who was doing his potty dance, which meant he really had to go.
"It's around the corner." Alex pointed out before he turned to me as I looked to my feet.
"She didn't tell you?" Dixie asked looking to me then back to Alex.
"Obviously not…" Alex said as I couldn't tell how he felt when Dixie went back into her office and she came back out handing me the application along with the description. "What is this?" Alex asked.
"It's nothing…she just told me you guys had a job opening and I said I'll think about it, she said she was going to give it to you and I wasn't actually going to do it." I said as he grabbed my hand dragging me outside knowing that we were going to have our first fight.
"What the hell Tara? I have been trying to get you to work with TNA since the moment I had met you and the moment Dixie offers you a job you go around my back and do it?" Alex asked.
"I didn't say I was going to take it, she offered it but I wasn't going to take it…it wasn't going around your back either because honestly if I was actually considering to do it I would have came to you."
"But I can't believe you would listen to Dixie than listening to me, I'm your boyfriend…but that doesn't really matter does it? You never trusted me, huh? You have lied to me this whole relationship…you never told me about Xavier until I found out for myself because I wanted to see you, you couldn't even tell me that wish you made even though I told you my wish and then you couldn't even tell me that you were considering a job at my place of employment…what do I have to do to prove to you that I love you and you can trust me? You know what? Forget it…your fine living your life without me and obviously you don't need anyone other than yourself because you don't trust them…you never wanted me to be close, you never told me any of your secrets because you were always afraid. So good luck because I'm done…" Alex said backing up heading back inside.
"Alex!" I said going to grab his arm and he pulled it away from me having tears coming to my eyes.
"Bye Tara." Alex said knowing he was pissed as I looked into his brown ones knowing that he was serious and pissed as my mom and Xavier walked out wiping at my eyes.
"Are you ready to go?" I asked sucking it up trying to be strong.
"What's wrong sweetie?" My mom asked.
"It's nothing." I said as I headed to my car climbing in driving us home kicking myself, when we got home I went straight to my room laying in my bed cuddling with the bull dog staring at the picture of Alex and I from the cruise where we were nothing but smiles thinking about what he had said and how he was right. I felt pain, hurt, and frustrations all mixed in one but there was so much going through my mind that it was hard to even think straight.
