Of Numbers
And
Secret Conversations
Disclaimer: Cause when ya think about it, there's no way Indi didn't go find Dexter after that match between him and Johnny to exchange numbers and keep things on the downlow after mouthing for him to call her, lol.
"Johnny and Candice so don't know you, Dexy." Murmured one Indi Hartwell to her secret boyfriend, Dexter Lumis in his secret hideout where he did his art at the CWC.
Shortly after a certain match when the two of them had locked eyes with one another for the first time and Butterflies flew in Indi's stomach, she'd gone in search of Dexter later on once Johnny, Candice, and Austin were suitably occupied enough to not notice her leaving. Though not really knowing Dexter all that much, she had worried she might not be able to easily find him but luckily, the Universe was choosing to be kind to her as he'd made it easy for Indi to find him. Especially as he'd been looking for another meeting with her and to get her number. Sure, he wasn't one for talking verbally, but Dexter just as well could text her and talk that way. He had even taken her to his secret hide out in the CWC so that they wouldn't be easily spotted by anyone who might decide to say something to the Garganos or Austin. Some would've called Indi insane for willingly being alone with the man but she hadn't given a damn as she wanted to be alone with him for however long was possible.
The two would be able to spend an hour with one another until Candice started calling her in order to see where she was and the hour in Indi's mind had been absolutely fantastic in her view. Sure, she had to come up with a believable excuse for where she'd been but Candice and Johnny would end up believing her. After that, the two would continue to reach out to one another in secret in order to keep anyone from interfering along with meeting up whenever possible. Of course, there'd be moments in the ring that were totally fun if somewhat annoying when they got interrupted but hey, Indi couldn't help herself and she knew Dexter enjoyed it all the same as well! Even if his expression hardly ever changed. At least… To the untrained eye that is as over time, Indi would be able to really get to know him and be able to tell when he was happy or not as they fell deeper for one another. Granted, neither appreciated when someone, likely Johnny or Candice, had sent Ember and Shotzi flowers with the claim it'd been from Dexter.
But the two had chosen to play along with it in order to keep what they have a secret and safe from those who'd ruin it. Even if it did suck having to keep up the act of unhappiness when all Indi wanted to do was show just how happy she was with her Sexy Dexy. Dexter just stared at her and shrugged slightly as he kissed her. "Yeah, I know, you don't really care what most people think about you. But I think it'd be great if they could just get over their views of you and let us be happy. You and Austin could really be good friends too."
Her Dexy nodded in agreement at the last bit with what she knew was eager interest at the idea as he'd admitted at one point to her that having Austin around for 3 days had been surprisingly enjoyable for the lone man. But he had to let the kid think a certain way thanks to Johnny's views of him despite not liking it as he didn't want the family to be split apart because of him. Even if that did have the likelyhood of potentially happening because of what he has with Indi but it'd be something to deal with if and when the time came. Dexter squeezed her hand in gentle re-assurance and she smiled at him. "Yeah, you're right, one day we'll find our way to being one happy family."
He gave her a small smile and kissed her as he hoped she would be proven right.
Author's Notes: I thought I'd posted this long before now but apparently I didn't and forgot. Though maybe that was on account of me possibly intending to do more with this, but at this point, who knows for certain.
