It's one of those days off, kind of. Stef and Mike have the day off in LA while Alex and I are busy in another town. Mike let her sleep in, while he went out and got breakfast for the two of them. She started to shift in her spot after a bit, reaching her arms to where Mike was laying. Feeling the empty spot where he was, she whines a bit before grabbing his pillow. She holds it close just taking in his scent, since she does not feel like getting up at the moment. She mumbles incoherently as she snuggles into him.
"Wake up." He says softly, kissing the top of her head.
"Noooo." She whines burying her face in his chest.
"I got food."
"As much as I want food, I'm to comfy to move right now."
"I can move and get you something. I got all of your favorites."
"Awww. You did?" She tilts her head to look at him.
"I did."
"As long as we can snuggle after."
"Deal."
"Alright..." She sighs, looking up at him. "...one thing first..."
"What?"
She shifts in her spot so she's able to move up closer to him. She presses her lips to his in a soft kiss and goes to pull away. He doesn't let her pull away right away. He holds her there for a few extra minutes. She starts to slow the kiss down since he's letting his hands start to wander. She pulls away and rests her forehead against his.
"...more later..." She catches her breath. "...that was your good morning kiss."
"Touche." He grins.
"How about we eat now, then you can be as touchy as you want for a bit after?"
"Sounds good."
He gives her one last kiss before she moves so he is able to get off the bed. She sits up with her back against the pillows as he gets some food for them. He brings over some coffee and a few things, handing her her things as he sits on the bed. She leans into his side as she takes a bite of the muffin he gave her.
"Mmmmm..." She moans at the flavor. "...banana nut...my favorite."
"I know." He chuckles.
"You really did your research, didn't you?" She chuckles.
"You know the source of that research.."
"Shauna, of course."
"Yup."
"She's good like that." She reaches over to steal some of his muffin.
"Really?" He says about taking part of his muffin.
"What ever are you talking about?" She acts all innocent, quickly eating the piece of his muffin.
"I saw that."
"Saw what?" She tries not to laugh.
"Really?" He says again.
"Really." She mimics him.
"Do you really wanna go there with the really game again?"
"Why not?" She shrugs. "We both know I'll win again." She smirks.
"But that's my trademark."
"Then that's one thing Shauna never told you. I always win at that game."
"Beat her all the time." She adds.
"She's not a pro at it like I am." He grins.
"We'll just see who's the pro." She returns his grin.
"We sure will."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Really."
"Really?"
"Really!" She laughs.
"I can go all day."
"So can I."
"Wish we had all day."
"Me too." She sighs, taking a sip of her coffee. "Another time."
"You're on."
"How'd I know you'd accept that challenge?" She chuckles.
"I know you."
"A little too well."
"Yes."
"Just like I know you."
"Exactly."
They finish eating before cleaning up and putting away the left over food. She goes over to her bag, deciding to get dressed for the day. While she's looking through her bag, she comes across some of her paints and paper. Since she has not painted in some time, she decides to do that for a bit. She takes that all out, setting it on the table before heading into the bathroom.
"You paint?" Mike calls from the bed.
"Just a bit." She calls from the bathroom. "Nothing too special though." She says once she comes out of the bathroom. She just had on a loose fitting tank top with shorts. She pulled her hair up in a ponytail with her makeup lightly done. she did not add jewelry since she was going to paint and did not want it messed up.
"That's one thing I wasn't told about you."
"I did it mostly in school. Shauna really didn't know about it."
"Ohh."
"More of a relaxing hobby really."
"So I've heard."
She walks over to the table where she has everything before setting up the paper so she's able to paint on it. Since the view outside was so stunning, she was going to attempt to paint that. She set up all the paint colors that she would need along with the colors. Once that was all setup, she began to paint the best she could. Mike sits there on the bed and watches her intently as she paints the view from outside. It takes her a good amount of time to paint how she wanted to paint it. When she was about done, she felt an arm go around her waist and a chin on her shoulder. She looks back, smiling at Mike. She gives him a quick kiss before she finishes with the painting.
"It looks amazing."
"You really think so?" She cocks her head, looking at it.
"Yes."
"Eh. I think it's not that great." She says optimistically.
"I say otherwise."
"Well thank you." She smiles. "If you say it is." She leans up to kiss his cheek, but accidentally gets some paint on him in the process.
"Oops."
"Let me get that." She adds, trying not to laugh. Instead of getting it off, more actually gets on him from her hands.
"I think I made it worse..." She snickers.
Then he gets that look on his face.
"Uh oh..." She tries to get up from the chair.
"...don't you dare..."
"Or what?" He grins.
"I-I..." She starts to stutter.
"That's what I thought."
"Mike!" She squeals as he gets paint on his fingers and rubs it on her face. "No you didn't?!" She chuckles.
"I did."
"Oh it's on!" She scoops up some blue paint, then rubbing it all over his face.
"Oh ho ho, really now?"
"Yes really." She laughs, scooping up more paint, this time it being pink. "Don't make me do it." She holds her hand over his hair.
"Oh you wouldn't."
"But I would." She smirks as she lowers her hand.
"No..."
"But I miss the colors on your hair." She pouts as some drips into his hair. "Uh...oops." She bites her lip innocently.
"Oh...it's on now."
"It was an accident." She laughs.
"Suuure."
"Would it help if I said I was sorry?" She gives her best innocent look.
"I know what you're doing." He chuckles.
"Trying to get you to forgive me?" She asks.
"So you can get more paint in my hair..."
"I think it looks hot actually..." She bites her lip.
"Well I did rock the pink way back when." He smirks.
"Which look totally hot on you."
"Why thank you."
"You're welcome." She moves her clean hand through his hair, trying to get the paint out, only to make it go all through his hair like he used to wear it.
"There. Perfect."
"Just like you used to have it." She adds.
"You know this is going to have to be washed out eventually right?"
"I know, but for today I say keep it like that."
"Just for you."
"Yayyy." She cheers. "Don't I feel special." She smiles.
"Because you are."
"Says you."
"Because it's true."
"Miiikkke..." She blushes, trying to hide her face. "...always making me blush."
"I love it."
"Of course you do."
"You try to hide your face, paint will get everywhere." He chuckles.
"We're already a mess as it is." She laughs, lifting her head slightly to look at him. "Better now that you can see it?"
"Much better."
He brings his hands to her face, cupping her cheeks. Gently running his thumbs over her cheeks, he pulls her closer. Once he presses his lips to hers, she lets her eyes fall shut while she rests her hands on his wrists. Since he still had some paint on his fingers, it hasn't dried yet so a little had gotten in her hair as he cupped her cheeks. He chuckles into the kiss, but doesn't pull away just yet. He holds the kiss for even longer than when she woke up. But when he does pull away, he leaves lingering kisses.
"Every time..." She leaves her eyes closed while he still holds her face.
"Yes, every time." He chuckles.
"Now to function again." She slowly opens her eyes to see him grinning.
"You have paint in your hair...my bad."
"I forgive you." She pecks his lips.
"Yay."
"It's hard not to."
"I know."
"How about we get this all cleaned up, I'll go take a shower then you can?" She suggests. "Have the rest of the morning to relax?"
"Sure."
Since his hands were still holding her face, he leaned down for one more kiss. After pulling away, he let her go so they could clean up. She set her painting somewhere it could dry, before going to get clothes to change into. As she's looking through her bag, she feels arms go around her waist.
"Starting already?" She giggles as he places a kiss behind her ear.
"Mmhmm."
"Why do I have a feeling my shower is going to have to wait..."
"Probably because it is..."
"I had a feeling it was going to have to."
"I love showing you my affection."
"I love when you show it to me too." She blushes slightly.
"I love that you love it."
"Romeo."
"If I'm Romeo, you're Juliet." He grins.
"I really like that." She blushes. "Minus everything else, that's just perfect." She turns in his arms so she's facing him.
"It is, isn't it?" He grins.
"Yes it is." She smiles as she lays her head on his chest.
"I couldn't agree any more."
"So, should I get that shower now or do I still have to wait?"
"I think I'll survive if you take that shower now."
"Are you sure now?" She looks up at him.
"I'll be hard, but I'll manage."
"I won't be long." She gives him a quick kiss. "I promise."
"I trust you."
"But you do have to let me go so I can get in there." She giggles since he has not tried to move.
"Right, right." He chuckles, letting her go after he kisses the tip of her nose.
She scrunches her face as she gets her clothes to change into. She takes one last look at Mike before she heads into the bathroom and sees him still looking at her. She blows him a kiss before heading in. Once in there, she gets everything ready for what she needs to do. She makes sure to be quick, but gets everything done. She steps out of the shower once she's done and does her routine. When she's all done, she hangs the towels back up and heads back to the room to put her clothes with her bag.
"You look amazing as always."
"Why thank you." She walks over to the bed. She leans down, giving him a kiss only to have him pull her down so she's laying on him now. "Really Mike?"
"Yes really."
"Not fast enough for you?"
"Nope."
"Sorry..." she looks at him through her eyelashes.
She moves her one hand to his face so her other can hold her up. She moves her finger down his face while just looking into his eyes.
"You're so adorable when you do that." He chuckles.
"I know." She grins, moving her hand to his hair. "Still forgive me for this?" She plays with his hair where the paint is.
"Of course I do."
"That look says different..."
"What look?"
"Don't play innocent with me." She chuckles. "Maybe I should just go lay on the other bed for now..." She shifts to move off him.
"Nooo..."
His hold on her gets tighter so she's not able to move.
"Why not?"
"Comfy..."
"You always are."
"I know."
She lets her fingers run through his hair a bit before he shifts a bit so he can pull her closer to him. He keeps one hand around her waist in favor of bringing his other up to her face. She lets her eyes fall shut as he moves his thumb over her cheek. Thankfully this hand has no paint on it so she stays clean. She leans into his touch as he brushes his thumb over her lips. She kisses it as he pulls her closer to him. He then moves it, in favor of pressing his lips to yours. She instantly relaxes more into him as she starts to kiss back. Her one hand stays in his hair while the other runs up and down his arm.
"Does this make up for getting paint in your hair?" He mumbles into the kiss.
"A bit."
"A bit huh?" He grins.
"Uh..." She tries to change her answer. "...it does..."
"I think I know what can really make up for it." He smirks.
"Mike..." She starts to say before he rolls them over so he is hovering over her now.
"Yes?"
"I know that look..."
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Riiiight."
All he does is smile innocently. She moves her hands from his shoulders to his hair.
"You're gonna go crazy again, aren't you?"
"Possibly."
"They are never going to go away...I can tell."
"Not for while..."
"That proud of them?"
"Mmhmm."
"Go ahead..."
He cheers silently before moving from her lips, along her jawline, to her ear before reaching her neck. She turns her head to give him more access while laying back against the pillows. She keeps one hand resting on his shoulder while her other runs through his hair. He decides to stay away from the spot for now, only torturing her more. She tenses a bit as he grazes over it. Her grip on his hair gets a bit tighter the more he teases. She bites my lip the more he nips teasingly at her skin. Deciding to tease him back, she moves her hand from his should to the back of his neck, slipping it under his shirt and lightly moving her nails across the nap of his neck. This causes a quiet noise to come from him, and she smirks at his reaction. She arches her back as he wraps his arm around while his other one stays on her hip. She pulls him closer to her, still running her nails over his skin. This time he growls and it's quite loud. To get her back for that, he goes instantly after the spot on her neck, intent on leaving a pretty good sized mark. Her hand stops moving on his neck as she digs her fingers into it. She tries to muffle any noises that may come, but since he keeps going, they keep getting louder the more he goes after the spot. His smirk against her skin gets wider as the noises get louder. The louder she gets, the more he continues. She tries her best to calm herself, but he is not making it easy. His hand moves up to her side and under the bottom of her shirt. He lightly moves his fingers over her skin, making goosebumps form and she starts to shiver.
"...Mike..."
"...hmmm?"
"...you're making...it hard...to control myself..." She bites her lip.
"Am I now?"
"...mhm..." She slowly nods.
"Oops."
She rests her head on the pillows trying to calm herself down. She keeps her eyes closed with her arms still around his neck.
"You're evil."
"So are you." He brushes his lips over.
"I plan on getting you back too."
"Looking forward to it."
"I'm sure you are."
"Very much."
"You'll never know when either." She smirks as she quickly moves her fingers over the spot on his neck making him twitch with a slight noise.
"See?" She giggles.
"Youuu." His breath hitches.
"Meee." She grins. "Gotta keep you on your toes Mike."
He then takes her hands, pinning them to the bed with a smirk on his face.
"Now what?"
"Miiike." She whines, wanting her hands free.
"Gotta keep you on your toes Stef." He repeats her.
"Like you have not already."
"True."
"Can I have my hands back?" She pouts. "Pwease?" She bats her eyes.
"Ohhh not the look and the batting of the eyes."
She keeps pouting and starts to sniff, pretending to cry.
"Oh no..."
"...you know what that does to me."
"Hands?" She bites her lip, still pouting. "Please?"
"Oh alright."
"Yayyy." She smiles once he lets go. Her arms go around his neck just resting on the back of his head.
"Thank you."
"One of these days I'm not going to let that get to me that easy."
"You can try, but it won't work."
"Suuure."
"You'll give in. I have a feeling you will."
"We'll see."
"I guess we will." She grins.
"Mmhmm."
"So, what is your plan for the rest of the day?" She asks as he lays in his spot next to her. He makes sure to move her with him so she's laying on him still.
"Well we have the day off, we can do anything."
"Hmmm..." She looks over at the clock on the nightstand. "...how about lunch in a bit?" She suggests.
"Sure."
"Just don't make me to comfy..."
"Or what?"
"I'll end up going to sleep." She chuckles.
"Well we can't have that...yet."
"After lunch maybe?"
"After lunch nap...sounds good."
"How about you get changed and we go now before I end up going to sleep now?"
"Good idea." He nods.
He gives her a quick kiss before she moves so he can get up. She lays on the bed and watches as he gets clothes to change into. She whine a bit when he leaves to change. Before he walks in the bathroom, he looks at her and winks. she shakes her head and tries to think what he has in mind. It's not too long before he comes back out, but not having his shirt on. She lifts her head a bit as she bites her lip.
"Mike..." She groans. "...you had to do that..."
"Yes I did."
"You're killing me." She bites harder on her lip.
"I know."
It takes her everything she has, to stay on the bed and not attack him. He knows it's getting to her so he takes his time getting everything else before putting his shirt on. After he has it on, he starts to fix his hair. While doing that, she gets up from the bed and walks over to him.
"Love the fauxhawk." She wraps her arms around his waist from behind, laying her head on his back.
"How well I know."
"Looks sexy."
"Good to know."
He then finishes with his hair and she moves away from him.
"All set?" He asks.
"Mhm." She nods.
He gives her a soft kiss before putting his arm over her shoulder. Hers stays around his waist while they make sure they have what they need before they head out and to the elevators. She and Mike head to lunch, I'm busy in me and Alex's room getting ready for the photo shoot I will be doing in just a half hour. Thank god it's not far away.
"So a photo shoot today?"
"Mmhmm."
"What's it for this time?"
"The website."
"Oh...going to be a good one then." He grins.
"For you."
"Of course." He walks over to me, wrapping his arms around my waist. "I love watching you do them."
"Because it's a distraction for you."
"That and I love the outfits they give you." He grins, kissing behind my ear.
"Sometimes I get to keep those too."
"Which makes me very happy. You look good in all of it."
"Oh I know."
"Almost ready?"
"Mmhmm, let me just make sure I have everything..."
Alex nods, moving away so I can make sure I have everything I need. Once I do, we leave and head down to the car, getting in and driving off to the studio where the photo shoots were being taken. It does not take to long to arrive and once there, we head inside. We're greeted by the photographer and he goes through with me, what's going to happen. I'm going to be doing three sets today. One more of a semi-casual look, a dressy look and a swimsuit. I give Alex a quick kiss before I'm taken to wardrobe. The first set is going to be the semi-casual look. Once I'm given the outfit, I go change before heading to hair and makeup. My hair gets semi curled and shaped so it's wavy and the makeup is light. Once I'm all set, I walk out.
"Wow..." Alex looks at me with wide eyes. "...you look...amazing."
"Why thank you."
"I do not think you can look any better than you do now."
"And this is just outfit one."
"Then I can't wait to see outfit two."
"Of course."
I'm then called over by the photographer for the first set of shots.
"Try not to have too much fun watching."
"I'll do my best."
I kiss him quickly and walk over to the set. The first five pictures, the photographer has me standing, but the first four of them, I'm facing the camera. Alex's eyes never leave me the whole time while he stands there watching each pose I do intently. The 5th picture of me standing up, I was told to have my side to the camera, look over my shoulder, hand in my hair and hold onto the necklace I was given to wear. I try my best not to laugh at Alex's facial expression. His jaw drops with his eyes going wide. I see him start to move a bit where he is standing and I now it's getting to him. The next picture, had me move and sit up straight on my knees, facing the camera and I pointed to the crown that was on the jeans I was wearing. I glance over to Alex, who is still staring directly at me. His eyes travel up and down taking in what he was seeing. The last 4 had be laying on the ground. The first two of the four, laying on my side in different poses and then the last two of the four had me laying on my stomach in different poses. Once the photographer was done, I got up from the floor and he called me over to look at the pictures on the laptop that was on the table next to the camera. We looked at all the pictures and picked out the best ones that we both liked. Once we were done, I motioned Alex to come over so he could see before the next set of photos.
"Amazing." He says looking at the ones we picked.
"I was getting to you already with this first outfit, you were clearly showing it." I mutter to him quietly with a grin.
"You look that good in it."
"And we're not even at the swimsuit yet."
"Swim-swimsuit?" He visibly swallows.
"Mmhmm. We'll be going outside for that."
"Today is going to be harder than I thought."
"You'll survive."
"I think I will manage."
"Alright, I need to get into my second outfit. Be right back."
"Okay." He nods giving me a quick kiss.
I head back into the dressing room and my second outfit is already there for me. I get out of the casual look and get changed into a sparkly, pink, short dress with elbow length sleeves. I pull on knee-high, wedge heel boots. I then go to hair and makeup. They only do my makeup and leave my hair wavy. Once I'm all done, I once again walk out.
"I really hope you get to keep that." Alex says once he sees me.
"You would." I laugh. "I really hope I get to keep it too. I really like it."
"Yes, I would." He grins. "Lets hope you get to keep it."
The set is ready and it's a pink background. I'm called over and I walk onto the set. Just like the last pictures there's standing poses and ground poses. The standing poses consisted of my side facing the camera like last time but my left hand is resting on my stomach, facing the camera and looking off into the distance behind the camera with my hands on my hips, looking right at the camera and holding some of my hair in my fingers, my side facing the camera again, but I turn so I'm looking at the camera and both my hands on my side, another over the shoulder look and the final standing pose being looking at the camera and I'm hugging myself. I notice that Alex has not taken his eyes off me the whole time I was posing. All he could do was lick his lips and bite down on them to control himself.
The last of the pictures were on the ground. The first being me laying on my back, hair spread out, looking at the camera with one leg crossed over the other in the air. I stay in the position, only now my left hand rests on my stomach. Then I sat up and rested my hands on both of my legs, while looking at the camera. They then fetched a ladder and the photographer climbed to a desire height as I laid in the same crossed leg position, my hair still fanned out on the ground, my left hand holding part of my hair and my right resting on the ground. The last picture had me on my knees and I was looking off to the right with my hand on my hip. I can't help to glace over at Alex to see his reaction. He is mumbling things to himself as he watches on is astonishment. The photos get loaded into the computer and this time Alex helps with picking out the best ones.
"If I could, I would say use them all." He grins.
"Do we have to get them printed and given to us for you?" I giggle.
"Could we?"
"We can get them printed after the last set, if you don't mind waiting." The photographer remarks.
"That's fine." Alex nods then kisses the top of my head.
"Okay...so now...swimsuit..." I look up at Alex.
"Go, go, go..." He grins, rushing me off so he can see.
"Okay okay...I'll meet you outside where the pool is." I laugh at his eagerness.
"Alright." He runs his hands down my arms giving me a soft kiss.
When I pull away, I head back into the dressing room and find the swimsuit already waiting for me. I change into that, along with a coverup and put that on over it. I don't head into hair and makeup because the makeup will just come off in the water and my hair will get wet so there's no point in doing it again. I then make my way outside where everything was set up by the pool, and Alex was waiting. Once he sees me, he just stares more intently then eyes go as wide as they can go as his jaw drops once again.
"You're going to catch flies." I laugh, closing his mouth for him.
"Huh?" He shakes his head coming out of his daze slightly.
"Just...wow..." He looks me over.
"And this is just the coverup right now."
"I-I..." He stutters. "...it's going to take everything in me from joining this session."
"Maybe next time you can."
"I would like that very much." He grins, playing with my coverup.
"Of course you would."
"I would." He pulls me closer. He presses his lips to mine in a soft kiss yet lingering kiss. "More later..." He says after pulling away.
"Kind of expecting that after what I'm putting you through."
"I plan on getting you back for all of it too." He smirks.
"Kind of figured that."
"Keep in mind, the longer this goes on the more time I have to think of ways to get you back."
"Right, can't really control how long this last session goes, but I'll try."
"I know."
Then I get called over.
"Try not to die on me."
"No promises."
I laugh before heading over. Once over there the photographer tells me what he wants me to do first. We decide to leave the coverup on for a few shots which are poolside shots. Then the photographer has me take it off in-pool shots. We look over in Alex's direction after hearing something fall over, which was a little table he stumbled on from not watching where he was going.
"I'm good." He holds his hands in front of him, acting as if nothing happened.
"Are you sure now?" I call to him.
"Yeah..." He nods, staring at me with wide eyes.
"Maybe you should move away from any tables or maybe sit down so you don't stumble again yeah?"
"Good idea." He chuckles, pulling over a stool to sit on.
Once he's all set, we continue with the in-pool shots. The first few were above water shot with my hair still dry. some were with my hands off the side just resting on top of the water while a few others had one hand on my shoulder with the other across my stomach. The last few shots, they had me get my hair wet, so I went under the water to do so. After coming to the surface, I looked over to see Alex starting to move around on his chair since the water was dripping from my hair down my shoulders and arms. Lucky for him, they only do a few more shots or so before finishing. I'm handed a towel when I get out of the pool and I go over to look at the pictures that were taken. I feel arms go around my waist and a chin on my shoulder.
"I say all of them." Alex says looking at the pictures from behind me.
"Wish we could pick all of them. Gotta pick the best ones though."
"That's the hard part...they all look good to me."
"I know they do."
We do end up picking a few that looked good despite Alex wanting them all. Once they were all picked, the photographer printed out all the ones that Alex wanted while I went to go get changed into my regular clothes. He also prints out the pictures from the previous session. They all head inside and the photos get put into an envelope and handed to Alex. All the outfits including the swimsuit I got to keep. They just put the swimsuit in a plastic bag so that it wouldn't get the other clothes wet. I head to hair and makeup to get my hair blow dried and once it's dry I grab the bag with the clothes and go out to Alex.
"You get to keep them?" He grins seeing me with bags.
"Mmhmm."
"I'm very happy right now."
"As I can tell."
"You might get more use out of the swimsuit later too."
"Oh boy."
"My new favorite." He grins. his hands go to my hair while he plays with a few strands. "How about lunch?" He suggests.
"Lunch sounds good."
"Then back to the hotel." He smirks, putting his arm over my shoulder as we start to head to the car.
"For what may I ask?"
"So you can put the swimsuit back on...then the rest is a secret."
"You and your secrets."
"It's no fun if you know what's coming."
"True..."
"Payback." He grins as we reach the car. I open the back and set the bags with the swimsuit and one outfit in it, hanging the dress up. Alex opens my door for me before going over to his side.
He starts the car and we head off, looking for a place to have lunch at. Once we find a place, Alex pulls in and parks the car. He gets out then opens my door for me again. I smile and kiss his cheek as we hook arms and head in. After walking in, we get seated at a booth and look at the menus for food and drinks. After deciding what we wanted to drink, we order that before figuring out what we wanted to eat. Once we decided we put the menus down and when the waiter brought our drinks we ordered our food.
"You really killed me today, you know that right?" Alex chuckled.
"I could tell, I was watching you from time to time."
"It was to hard not to look. You just looked so amazing."
"And I didn't even have to try."
"You never have to. You look that way everyday. Gets me every time."
"That's good to know."
"So I was thinking after this, we go to the pool for a bit then just stay in the room the rest of the day."
"You always have great ideas."
"I do. I just know what you like."
"Yes you do."
Soon after that our food came and we began to eat just making small conversation. Of course at times, he would start to be a little touchy. I let him go until it gets to be to much for me to handle. Taking his hand with my free one, I lace our fingers together.
"Getting too much for me." I mutter quietly.
"My bad." He chuckles.
"You knew exactly what you were doing."
"Maybe I did..."
"You so did."
"This is just the start too." He kisses my cheek.
"Oh boy."
"Only because we are in public right now."
"Right, right."
We finish eating before Alex pays the bill. Once that is done, we head back out to the car and get in. After that Alex heads back to the hotel.
"Now is there any way that I can prepare for this payback?"
"Let me think..." He trails off. "...nope."
"Darn."
"You'll have to wait and see." He grins as he parks the car.
"Right."
After he parks the car, he helps me with the clothes I got from the shoot. Once we have them, we head in the hotel and up to our room. I place everything down by my things. I grab the bag with my swimsuit in it along with the coverup before heading to the bathroom while Alex gets changed in the room itself. It doesn't take me long to change, and once I am, I come out of the bathroom. I stop dead in my tracks once I see Alex only in his trunks, not having his shirt on yet. Muttering to myself, I shake the thoughts from my mind and continue over to my things. I put together a bag to bring down to the pool, towels, etc, anything we needed.
"All set?" Alex asks after getting his shirt on.
"Mmhmm, all set."
"I can't wait to get that off of you." He looks at me as we walk to the door.
"Eager."
"Can you blame me?"
"No not really."
We make it to the elevator and once inside Alex starts to get a bit touchy. He manages to behave until get get to the pool. When we get to the pool, we find a place to sit, but when I go to sit down, he stops me.
"Yes?"
"This comes off first..." He plays with the coverup.
I purse my lips together, debating on making him wait a bit longer.
"Hmmm...I don't know..."
"Pleeeease?" He pouts with a whine.
"You're so adorable when you do that." I laugh.
"Does that mean you're taking it off?" He tugs at it more.
"Maybe.."
"Pwease..." He give me his best puppy dog face. "...for me?"
"You just love being adorable don't you?"
"For you...yes."
"And it's working..."
"Good." He pulls me closer to him so I'm now standing between his legs as he tries to get the coverup off quicker.
I decide to let him take it off, and it falls to the ground after he tugs it off. I step out of it and pick it up, putting it in the bag which I set next to the chair.
"Finally." He pulls me down so I'm sitting on his lap while he lets his hands wander a bit.
"You just love being touchy."
"I do." I feel his lips brush against my shoulder. "All mine." He presses a kiss to the base of my neck.
I instinctively close my eyes as I enjoy the feeling.
"You know, I say we're ready for a second date. It's been a while since the first." I suggest.
"It has..." He says against my neck. "...when did you...want to go?" He says between kisses on my neck.
"Maybe after Raw on Monday?"
"That sounds good..." He moves across my jawline. "...it's a date." His lips press to mine.
He keeps the kiss lingering, before going back to kissing any skin he can reach.
"Gonna be a surprise as to where we're going, I'm guessing right?"
"Of course."
"Thought so."
"I do think it's time we got in the water..."
"Are you sure now?"
"I'm more than sure." He stands up, picking me up as he stands.
"Not allowed to walk on my own?"
"That would take too long."
"How do you know?"
"You're a tease and would take your time."
"You have a point."
"This way is much faster." He grins.
When he makes it to the pool, he walks down the stairs and out into the water a bit still not letting me go just yet.
When he's a good distance into the water, he puts me down, but never lets go.
"Now this is better." He holds me close to him.
"Much better."
"I'm so glad they let you keep that." He moves his one hand over the strap of my top. "I absolutely love it on you."
"Because of the color right?"
"Definitely because of the color."
"I knew it."
"What can I say?" He shrugs. "You look your best in blue."
"So do you. Certain blues bring out your eyes." I nod.
"That's why I wear it. I know how much you love it."
"Like when you got drafted to SmackDown...which I totally flipped out about...the blue set and the blue shirt. Your eyes really stood out when the camera zoomed in on your face."
"It does tend to do that. All depends on the shade."
"Right, I still love it. Blue is definitely one of my favorite eye colors."
"I'm very lucky I have them then." He chuckles.
"You know what I'm lucky for? For being able to actually work towards getting here, finally meeting you and working with you and look where that got us. After keeping my crush on you a secret for so long."
"I'm glad too." He grins. "How long have you had this crush anyways?"
"Well...NXT Season 2..."
"Really? That long?"
"Mmhmm."
"Just a bit longer than mine was on you."
"How long was yours?"
"A little after that. The first time I saw you backstage when I went with Mike. I could not believe he knew someone as beautiful as you."
"Awww."
"I was actually jealous since I thought you were both dating at first. I didn't think I would get chance with you."
"Awwww, you were jealous, that's cute."
"I was, until the day he told me you were both just good friends."
"Still cute."
"Glad you think so."
"It's a cute little thought and image. But yeah I wouldn't date Mike because Stef liked him and I couldn't do that to her and date him."
"Well aren't you just a good friend."
"Yes I am."
"An even better girlfriend too." He kisses me quick.
"I'm happy to hear that."
"It's the truth. I couldn't be any happier."
"Neither could I."
He moves his one hand from my shoulder to my face, cupping my cheek while his other stays on my hip. He runs his thumb over my cheek before leaning down and pressing his lips to mine. I smile into the kiss, and rest one hand on his arm while my other hand rests on his wrist. He keeps the kiss going for a bit longer before he pulls away, resting his forehead against mine.
"I love moments like these."
"I couldn't agree more."
"You, me, no drama...just us."
"If I had my way, this is how it would be all the time."
"Wish it could be like this all the time."
"So do I, so do I." He kisses the top of my head.
Then I move and wraps my arms around his neck, hugging him. His hands fall to the small of my back as he pulls be as close to him as I could get. From there, we stay like that and float around in the water. After staying in for a bit, we decide to get out so we are able to dry off before we head up to the room. Again he doesn't let me sit in my own chair, he has me share with him. I lean back into him while I shake my head with a laugh. His arms go around my stomach and we sit there until we are dry enough to head back to the room. We do head up shortly after, and once we're in the room, I head into the bathroom to shower to get the chlorine out of my hair from both pools today. I didn't even think to grab clothes at the time so when I was done in the shower and wrapped a towel around me, I mentally kicked myself for not remembering clothes. I open the door a bit to call out to Alex.
"Yeah?" He says from the bed.
"I kind of um...forgot to bring clothes in here..."
"Oh?" I can tell he has a smirk on his face. "You can come out, I won't look."
"Positive?"
"Positive."
"Alright...coming out."
"Okay." He says. I peek my head around the corner to see his hand over his face. I make my way to my bags, picking out something the wear.
Once I grab something, I head back into the bathroom. "You can look now."
"Alright, just don't take to long."
"I won't."
I close the door before taking my towel off and hanging it up. I put on what I picked out to wear then brush my hair out before heading back into the room.
"Beautiful."
"And I'm not even wearing anything special."
"You don't have to be wearing anything special to look beautiful."
"Alex..." I blush. "...must you always make me blush?" I laugh walking over to the bed.
"Yes."
"Always." I chuckle, climbing on the bed next to him.
"Because it's cute."
"Only you would think it is."
"Because you're my girlfriend."
"Which I'm proud to be." I lay down, snuggling into his side.
"Glad to hear that."
He puts his arms around me pulling me closer to him while I try to hide a yawn.
"I think someone needs a nap."
"I think so."
"Get some rest. You had a very busy morning." He lets his one hand run through my hair.
"I did." I nod.
"Alright. No more talking. Sleep." He gives me a quick kiss.
He watches me for a bit before deciding to get some sleep himself. Meanwhile, Mike is just starting to wake up after they had their little nap. Stef is still sleeping and he doesn't want to wake her just yet. He decides to let her get a bit more sleep while he runs his fingers lightly through her hair. She starts to shift after a bit, not wanting to move or wake up just yet.
"I know you're awake." He chuckles.
She buries her face in his chest and mumbles.
"It's alright, don't need to move yet."
She smiles to herself and moves closer to him.
"Just acknowledging that you're awake."
"Mhm."
"Sleep well?"
"Yes. Very good actually."
"That's good."
"You're comfy."
"So I've been told."
"It's true." She snuggles into him more. He keeps one hand in her hair while the other rests on her back for now. The hand that was on her back, he absentmindedly started to draw patterns with his fingers. She sighs in content as she relaxes into him more as she enjoys the moment. Her eyes start to close again, but she's still awake. The hand she had on his shoulder had moved to his hair and she started to run her fingers through his hair.
"Having fun?" He chuckles.
"I always do when I get to play with your hair." She lazily says with a smile. "Gonna be sad when you take a shower and wash the pink out of your hair."
"Maybe I'll do it again sometime...just for you." He kisses the top of her head.
"I'd love that."
"I had a feeling you would."
"Because you know me."
"I do." He smiles down at her.
"More and more each day."
"Just like you get to know me more each day." He moves his hand over her face, moving a few pieces of hair away. She looks up at him and smiles.
"What's the plan for later?" She asks.
"I was thinking a relaxing night in."
"I really like that idea."
"Make you something for dinner maybe?"
"Yay! No moving."
"Only to get the food and that's it."
"That and your shower."
"Right, that too."
"Which I think you should go do." She rolls on her stomach, laying her hands flat on his chest.
"Now? Are you sure?"
"Yeah." She sighs a bit. "I might not want you to move later."
"Alright, if you're sure."
"I am." She chuckles. "Now go before I change my mind." She goes to move off him only for him to hold her in place. "What?" She looks at him.
"This..." He leans down, giving her a kiss. He keeps his hands on her back so she can not move until he is done. After a bit, she starts to pull away.
"Go...now..." She says between kisses.
"Oh...alright."
He kisses her one last time before she slides off him and into her spot on the bed. He gets off the bed then gets things from his bag to change into. After he goes int he bathroom, she decides to change into more comfortable clothes. She goes to her bag and picks out a light purple cami with gray boy shorts. She gets changed in the room itself while he is in the shower. Once she gets changed, she lays on the bed and waits for him to come back out. She soon hears the shower shut off, which means he'll be coming out soon. Shortly after that the door opened and he was dressed for the rest of the night. After putting his clothes with his thing, he laid back down on the bed next to her. Since she had her eyes slightly closed, she only felt the bed move. She laid there on her back for a bit before doing anything.
"You're not sleeping are you?" He chuckles.
"No. Just relaxing."
"Okay, just making sure."
He lays down on his side so he is facing her. Draping his one arm over her stomach, he pulls her closer to him.
"Mmm." She snuggles into his side a bit.
"Cuddly."
"I just like holding you."
"Awe." She blushes. "I like when you hold me."
"I can tell."
"Best feeling in the world." She sighs in content.
"I couldn't agree more."
"So, tell me..." She opens her eyes and shifts on her side so she's facing him. "...what made you show interest in me?"
"Well for starters...from everything I was told about you, I realized that you have everything that I like."
"Really?"
"Mhm." He nods. "Your personality, the fact we like the same things, your attitude. Then when I saw a picture of you, I knew you were perfect. What got me..." He pauses to look in my eyes. "...were your eyes."
"Awe..." She bites her lip, getting a bit teary. "...th-that's so sweet."
"What can I say...I'm a sweet person."
"Yes you are." She kisses him quickly. "One of the reasons I'm more attracted to you."
"Which I'm glad you are."
"I couldn't have found someone any better." She smiles.
"That makes me happy."
She starts to move her hand up his arm while she looks him over since he is not wearing a shirt. She bites her lip, just letting her fingers trace the muscles on his arms.
"You have no idea how distracting you are right now."
"Oh really? I had no idea."
"Suuure." She chuckles. "You know exactly what this does to me." She refers to him not wearing a shirt.
"I do." He chuckles.
"I think you like doing this to me."
"Maybe..."
"You so do." She laughs. "I'll get you back for it thought." She grins.
"Of course you will."
"Maybe I'll wear something special for RAW tomorrow..." She smirks. "...speaking of RAW...where are we going this time?"
"It's here...in LA."
"Really?!" She says a bit excited. "That's great! No early flight."
"But I do have an early meeting with Vince about you."
"Right." She nods. "Do I get to know what you're going to say?" She bats her eyes at him.
"Well I'm gonna tell him how impressed I was when we were training, tell him that you're a natural and so and so."
"I did get trained by the best." She grins at him. "Hopefully he likes what you have to say."
"I hope he does."
"You are a big part of the company so I'm sure he'll take what you have to say into consideration."
"Of course."
She can't help but to keep smiling at him. Grinning, he leans down pressing his lips to hers. His hand moves from her hip to her back so he can pull her closer to him. Her arms go around his neck as the kiss starts to heat up. He moves his hand to the bottom of his shirt and since it moved up slightly, he uses the chance to run his fingers over the exposed skin. She shivers a bit as goosebumps start to form.
"You know what I would love?" He asks, breaking the kiss for a moment, but keeping his face close to hers.
"What's that?"
"After I tell Vince about you, and if you get a tryout, and get brought up to the main roster after impressing the boss, you getting to be my manager. And then once you have a few matches or so, I get to be yours."
"That's a great idea. I would love for that to happen."
"So would I."
He then presses his lips back to hers, still moving his fingers along her skin. She starts to shift in her spot since it tickles. He chuckles into the kiss before shifting so he is hovering over her, moving his hand to her hip and his other to her hair. She keeps hers around his neck, letting her fingers run through her hair. She couldn't stand the fact that he wasn't close to her so she pulls him down and holds him closer. He smiles into the kiss, moving his hand from her hip behind her back, making her atch her back into him more. His fingers move along the fabric of her shirt while she moves one hand from his hair and lets her nails lightly move across the back of his neck. That makes a small growl erupt from him, and not only does she clearly hear it, she can feel it. He starts to deepend the kiss, putting more passion into it. She keeps moving her fingers over his skin just smirking at his reaction. When he least expects it, she shifts so that she's laying on top of him. This allows him more places for his hands to wander which he does. Once she feels his fingers touch the skin by her hips from her shirt being moved, she starts to wiggle a bit. She takes the chance to move her one hand that is not holding her up, to run down his chest. This makes him tense and she feels that as her hand runs down his chest. As he hand starts to get lower toward the waist of his boxers, his hand moves up her back, pressing her as close as she can get to him. She stops right about the seam of his boxers then lightly moves her fingers across his skin. He twitches under her and almost instantly grabs that hand.
"...getting to you..."
"...you are..."
"...that's a bad thing?"
"Not at all."
"Didn't think so." She chuckles. "Should I stop?" She pulls from his face, resting her chin on his chest.
"If you want dinner now, then yes. If not, then no."
"As tempting as that sounds, I'm getting kinda hungry."
"What would you like? I will go make it for you."
"Hmm...well I'm not to picky so...how about breakfast for dinner?" She suggests. "French toast, bacon..." She licks her lips at the thought.
"Anything for you."
"Why thank you." She blushes, turning her head to hide.
"You're welcome."
She moves off him and back on the bed so he is able to get up. She decided to lay there for a bit to calm herself. Just as she was about to get up, she heard her phone go off. Thinking it was me, I picked up to see a text. Reading the message, she closed the text and put the phone back down. Trying to shake off what was said, she walks out to the kitchen where Mike is. Walking up to him, she wraps her arms around him and rests her head on his back.
"Already starting to smell good."
"That means I'm actually doing it right." He chuckles.
"It's pretty simple to make really."
"I know, but you know I never have time to cook with being on the road. Was hoping I didn't mess it up."
"You're doing just fine." She smiles. "You're a great cook."
"Even though I do remember when you showed this place to WWE and you said the only thing you use is the fridge and the microwave." She adds, giggling.
"I still do." He chuckles. "You're the only one I will cook for."
"Aww, I feel special."
"Because you are...very special..." He takes her hand and lifts it up kissing it. "...to me."
"Mike...the blushing...again..." She says, trying to hide her face.
"No hiding it." He turns around to her. "You look more beautiful when you blush." He lifts her chin so she's looking at him.
"Can't help it."
"Oh I know. Just know you can never hide it from me." He smiles giving her a quick kiss.
"Can't blame me for trying."
"No I can't." He chuckles moving some hair from her face. He gives her a soft kiss before turning back to check on the food. She keeps her arms around his waist while he finishes cooking.
"You did good." She compliments when he finishes.
"I would wait to say that until after you try it." He laughs.
"I'm sure it tastes just fine."
"The most awesome person ever did make it." She grins as she moves away from him to get some plates and silverware.
"Which would make it just as equally awesome as I am."
"Yes." She nods. "I can't wait to eat it. It smells so good."
"Well I hope you enjoy it."
"I have a feeling I will."
"How about you go sit down and I'll bring your plate to you?"
"Sure you don't need help?"
"I'm sure."
"Alright." She kisses him quick before going to sit in the dining area he has.
He gets her plate together first, followed by his. He sets hers down in front of her, before setting his down where he's sitting.
"Now what would you like to drink?"
"Orange juice or milk. Whatever you got."
He nods. "Be right back." He goes into the kitchen and comes back a short time later with two glasses of orange juice. He places hers in front of her before he sits down in his spot.
"Thank you."
"My pleasure." He smiles, making her blush.
"Trust me...it is."
"My first time cooking on the stove too."
"You're amazing at it. I think you should do it more often."
"When we're here that is."
"Right, and back in New York too."
"Right."
"Maybe I'll cook you something one day too."
"I think I'd love that."
"Doubt I'll be as good as you, but I can try."
"I'm sure you'll do just fine."
"I hope." She giggles.
"I think you will."
"Of course you would think that."
"Yes I would."
"That's why you're the best." She smiles.
"So are you."
She can't help to blush at how sweet he is. They soon finish eating then start to take everything back into the kitchen.
"Dishes?"
"Do them in the morning."
"How'd I know you would say that?" She chuckles.
"I just guessed."
"So, I guess you want to head back to bed?"
"Only if you want to."
"Did you have something else in mind?"
"Well...you can be as touchy as you want in the room..."
"I like that idea."
"You always do."
She walks over to him and runs her hands down his chest before quickly dashing away laughing.
"Oh, you're so gonna get it." He calls to her.
"Have to catch me first." She calls back from the stairs.
"Don't test me, I will get you."
"If I do?" She smirks.
"You'll see."
"Oh, I'm so scared." She tries not to laugh.
"You should be..."
She goes to say something when he starts up the stairs. The look on his face says it all. She bites her lip and tries to run away from him, but he is right there to catch her. Not wasting anymore time time, he picks her up and starts to carry her to the room.
"Mike!" She squeals from him suddenly picking her up. She wraps her arms around his neck while his one is around her back with the other holding her legs.
"Told you I would get you."
"Maybe I let you this time."
"Did you?"
"No..."
"Okay then...then I repeat...told you I would get you."
"You did. Like always."
"I'm just that good."
"Yes you are." She lays her head on his shoulder just nuzzling his neck. Before he can make it to the bedroom, she starts to kiss and nip at his neck.
"Are you trying to make it so we don't get to the bedroom?"
"Oops." She giggles.
"You meant to do that didn't you?"
"No..." She lies, smiling innocently.
"Uh huh...suuuure."
"To late to say sorry?"
"Maybe."
"That look says it is."
"You're always right."
"Uh oh..." She says as he gets the door to the room open. He walks in and over to the bed, laying her down while he hovers over her.
"Touchy..." He grins.
"I said you could be." She moves a bit under him since his touches are light. "Have fun."
"Oh, I will."
He lets his hands wander all over where he can reach while she wraps her arms around his neck. His fingers run up and down her arms lightly, making her shiver a bit. He moves them all over, going down her side to her waist, letting his fingers play with the bottom of her shirt. From her moving, her shirt moves up a bit and he lets his fingers run over her skin, giving her goosebumps. She could not take it anymore, so she pulled him down, pressing her lips to his. He chuckles against her lips at his eagerness, and kisses back just as eager. She then does the one thing that she knows gets to him and that's running her nails across the back of his neck. The usual reaction comes sfrom him and that's another growl. She smirks into the kiss doing it a few more times, getting the same reaction from him. She whines into the kiss at not being able to touch him as she moves under him, trying to get her hand free. He doesn't let her move her hand, so he laces his fingers with hers to keep her hand where it is. She squeezes his hand as he starts to deepen the kiss more. Her grip on his hair gets tighter while she pulls him closer to her. He breaks the kiss in favore of trailing along her jawline, moving to behind her ear, and finally ending up on her neck.
"...Mike..." She bites her lip. "...you left...enough already..."
"...don't worry...I know...I won't leave any more..."
"...continue then..."
He grins before continuing along her neck. She tilts her head to give him better access while she runs her fingers through his hair. He keeps his one hand holding hers still, while his other hand moves to her side to rest for now. She tries to contain any noises that come for now, but he is making it really hard to keep them from coming.
"...don't hold back..."
"...mmmm..." She slightly moans, nodding her head.
He smirks against her skin as he moves closer to her shoulder. She bites down hard on her lip, trying to hiold back the noises that are about to escape. He feels her body tense so he moves his fingers under her shirt as he lightly moves his tongue over her skin. This makes a noise come from her, but she's able to muffle it into his shoulder. He reaches her shoulder and continues the routine as he moves across it, going to her collarbone. This causes her to move more under him as she tries to steady her breathing. The farther across her collarbone he goes, the more soft noises come from her. He moves from the other side of her collarbone, to her other shoulder and then up the other side of her neck. He leaves light lingering kisses on her neck as he makes his way back to her lips. Once he reaches them, she pulls him as close as he can get, kissing him hard and roughly. The only time they break is for air and when they do that, he leans his forehead against hers.
"...wow..." She says breathless. "...you sure taught...me a lesson..." She chuckles between breaths.
"I did."
"Maybe I should get in toruble more often..."
"Maybe you should..."
"You would like that to much though." She laughs.
"True..."
"I have a feeling I'll be in trouble no matter what."
"You may be right."
"Oh boy." She giggles. "Can I have my hand back now?" She looks from him to their hands laced, then back to him with pouty eyes.
"Oops...kind of forgot I still had it." He chuckles, letting it go.
"You just like holding it." She smiles, as she moves that hand to rest on his shoulder for now.
"I do."
"You can hold it whenever you want, just not right now."
"Aww."
"There will be more time for that later." She turns her head to hide a yawn.
"Right. You're tired."
"Just a bit..."
"You should sleep."
"You should too."
"Right...early morning."
"Yes...you have media and I need to get Shauna and Alex from the airport."
"And then after media I have to meet with Vince about you."
"Right, that too. Busy day tomorrow."
"Very busy."
She then tries to stifle another yawn she feels coming on.
"Alright. Sleep." He moves next to her.
"Yes, oh mighty, awesome one." She giggles, rolling on her side, moving closer to him.
He chuckles. "Night."
"Night." She softly says, laying her head on his chest.
He kisses the top of her head, pulling her close to him. She sighs in content as he runs his fingers through her hair. She lets her eyes close and soon she's out. He looks down at her with a smile as he watches her sleep for a bit. Keeping one hand in her hair and the other on her back, he soon goes to sleep himself.
