THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS ! KEEP REVIEWING !

A week had gone by and the girls had settled into the packing and driving

routine all over again. They had pulled into the arena's parking lot when

Alexis' phone went off.

" Who is it ? Who is it!" Stacy asked excited. She already knew who it was but,

just the joy of thinking that her and Leland were talking just made her

ecstatic.

" Leland " Alexis smiled as she read the text. " Aw he's cute , he said he

misses me "

Stacy " awww ! Look at the both of you , you like talk all the time now. "

" Uh yeah , I guess " she blushed.

" That's awesome ! " Stacy squealed, she clapped her hands excitedly.

Alexis couldn't help but look at her and laugh. "Get out loser"

" So what do you guys talk about?" Stacy asked.

" Anything really , we pretty much like just talk all day , except for like when

I'm working or working out and him the same , so pretty much all day and he even

like wakes up early to text me so we sorta have the whole day thing. Its just

really sweet of him" alexis explained as they both walked to their dressing

room.

"I'm so happy for you !" Stacy again squealed.

The girls got ready and texted the guys as they got dressed and did hair and

make up for the nights show. As they walked back , Alexis' phone began to ring.

"Hey you" Alexis answered with a huge grin.

" Hey , howzit ?" Leland responded " how's your day going ?"

" Its okay , just did like hair and make up , now I'm walking to the dressing

room to relax and get ready for the show soon " she told him , checking herself

in the mirror.

" Oh nice , nice - bet you look beautiful " he complimented.

Alexis' face turned a bright red and for the first time she was thankful he

wasn't there in front of her. " Thanks .."

He could hear her bashful smile through the phone " alright sweetheart , just

wanted to wish you luck tonight and make sure your careful ok?"

"Yeah, thanks .. I'll call you later?" She asked

"Yeah , I'm here , if I don't answer its cause I'm at work of course"

"Yeah , duh" she giggled.

" Duhhhh" Leland mocked. " Have a good show tonight Alexis"

" Thanks , you be careful on your bounty. " She responded. "Byeee"

" Oh heyyy Lex !" He called out before she hung up.

"Yeahh?"

" 31 days..." He responded , "byee" with that he hung up.

Alexis could not stop smiling , she loved the way he was counting down the days

, as was she , until the show in Colorado Springs where they could see each

other again.

" Was that him?" Stacy asked popping out of almost nowhere.

Alexis jumped , playfully rolled her eyes and laughed. " Yes , he was just

calling to wish me luck and like to be careful. " she explained. " But I gotta

go so I shall talk to you later ok?"

Stacy laughed " yeah yeah , be careful out there! "

The show had come to an end , and the girls walked and text back to their car ,

slugging their suitcases behind them.

" You two wanna get your heads out of your phones and come out tonight?" laughed

John as he caught up to them. "Grab a few drinks"

" Aww Cena , your cute , of course we will " smiled Stacy.

The girls got to their hotel , got dressed and headed out with a few co-workers

to the local bar. They all seemed to spread out and get into their own little

cliques.

" So how's everything going? Stacy's all taken and your single , sort of a turn

of the tables here " smiled John as he slid into the opposite side of the booth

where Alexis was sitting.

" Yeah , I guess it is." She laughed. " Everything else is going ok I guess "

she smiled at him.

" Good , so how's this guy for Stacy? Good guy?" He asked.

Alexis nodded , " yeah , he's actually really , really a sweet guy. He makes her

happy .. So you know can't be that bad " she explained.

John nodded " good , and you? Staying single for a little or what?" He asked

taking a sip of his beer.

" I'm not really sure what I want to do , I mean being with Jeff for years and

sort of being single now is .. different I guess " she said pausing. " I guess

I'm sort of talking to someone? He's Stacy's boyfriends brother. He's um ,

Katy's bail bonds men. But who knows where that's going to go"

John nodded , " that's cool , just be careful. "

Alexis smiled " of course I am , he's like cute like he always says he misses me

and things like that. So its nice , something different , something I never got

from Jeff , you know?"

" Oh absolutely , I understand. Just want you to be careful is all. " He

assured. " Want another beer?" He asked standing up and gulping down the rest of

his.

" Yes please , thanks " she responded as he walked away.

Like a revolving door as soon as he got up , Stacy squeezed her way into the

booth.

" Was he just like hitting on you!" She asked , while at the same time texting

on her phone.

" Um no! " Alexis laughed " he was asking about Duane Lee and if he was a good

guy for you. Then he asked if I was staying single or talking to someone type

stuff -"

Stacy quickly cut her off " soo he WAS hitting on you !"

"Listen! " Said Alexis sternly. " Before you just have verbal diarrhea , I

started telling him about Leland , and how I wasn't sure what it was "

" Oh , gotcha , gotcha. Cena's cute though. I like Leland better though " Stacy

through in her two cents.

Alexis smiled , "I know you do "

John came back over and handed Alexis her beer. " Good luck " he winked at her "

we're all going to leave in a little bit , alright?"

" Thanks again , John "

An hour later , they had returned back to the hotel , as soon as Alexis stepped

foot in her door , her phone rang.

" Hey beautiful , just wanted to say goodnight to you " replied Leland from the

other end of the phone.

She could feel the butterflies in her stomach. She felt like a elementary school

girl , hearing from her crush. " Aw , thank you "

"Well actually , I was going to leave a voice mail saying goodnight , you sort

of surprised me with the picking up " he laughed at himself.

" Its okay " she laughed " either way it was very sweet of you. "

" You just getting in or did I wake you up?" He asked.

" I'm just getting in , went out for a drink or two with a few people. " She

explained as she changed into her PJ's and climbed into bed.

" Nice, good , alright well I'll let you get to bed. Have a good night. Sweet

dreams princess" he said calmly.

" Good night sweet heart. Text me tomorrow if you can. Or whenever you miss me

or something " she smirked.

He chuckled " alright , good night"

Alexis hung up her phone , and placed it on the charger. She turned off the lamp

on the night stand , and turned over to go to bed. Just as her head hit the

pillow her phone went off. She looked at the phone and smiled.

The text read :

- I miss you already ;)
