*Lexi's pov
"I want all of you forever, everyday. You and me... Everyday!" I woke up to the voice of Noah Calhoun. I smiled and looked next to me at the face of the man I love more than anything in the world. I grabbed the remote and turned off the DVD player and tv. I must've woken Adam because he rolled over me. I laughed, "morning baby" I smirked. He kissed me, "good morning beautiful! How was your night? Mine was wonderful with you by my side" he sang and smirked. I laughed and kissed him back. "So" he said brushing the hair out of my face, "after you fell asleep last night, Shawn called. They want to do the interview today" he said biting his lip. I sighed and nodded, "yea, uh okay" I said softly. Adam looked at me strangely and I knew I wasn't going to convince him. "I'm gonna take a shower" I said looking up into his incredible eyes. He hesitated but kissed me and moved so I could get up.
I turned on the shower and stared at myself in the mirror. My hair was long, the middle of my back, I hated it, that's always how they caught me. I pulled off my shirt and stared back at the girl in the mirror. I pulled my hair up in a low pony and found some scissors. I looked closely and estimated where to cut so it would fall to my shoulders. I had done this so many times before I had gotten good at it, that is until I was beaten for it. I pushed the scissors through the pony and watched it fall to the ground. I sat and trimmed up my bangs and added a few layers. Ryder would be proud of me, it looked good I thought with a smile and slipped out of my bra, pants and panties and stepped into the shower. The water felt nice and I just let it flow over me a minute. Today would be long and agonizing. I sighed and heard the door open.
"Lexi? You okay baby? You've been in hear a while" Adam said as he poked his head in. I stuck my head out just enough so my face could be seen. "I'm okay baby." I said looking at him. He was worried and I hated making him worry. "Join me?" I asked softly. His eyes questioned me but he shut the door behind him and stripped and entered the shower. "Your hair" he said running his hands through it. I nodded, "I needed a change" I said sadly. He pulled me close, "you look beautiful Alexis," he said and kissed me. I smiled, it's silly how such a simple compliment from him made me smile. I kissed him back deeply, my body pressed against his. We've been dating for a long time, but have never been... Intimate. Mainly because those bunkers on the bus are so freaking small! But even when we got a hotel room we never were. I wondered why as Adams lips trailed to my neck. Was it because I was scared of how he'd react to my past? Well that's silly cause he knows now. I thought about it, and his hands ran down my back and grabbed my hips pulling me hard toward him. It clicked then and I looked down at him, "Adam" I said softly. He looked up at me, "sorry baby, I got carried away" he said a shy smile on his lips. I kissed him, "how long until the interview?" I asked, "it's at 11 why?" He asked.
I turned on the radio, "coming up at quarter past 10 is.." I turned off the radio and jumped out of the shower. I heard Adam laugh. I grabbed a towel and ran to find some clothes. I slipped on a clean bra and panties and tossed the towel. I rummaged through my closet and Adam came up behind me, his hands on my waist and chuckling. "Babe, they're coming here relax, they are always late." He said and pulled out a tank top dress handing it to me "this one" he whispered and kissed my neck. He sent chills down my back and I nodded breathless. I slipped it over my head and turned to see he was half dressed trying to find a shirt. I went up behind him and kissed his neck and pulled out the blue polo. "This one" I whispered mimicking him, I kiss his neck again and headed to the bathroom.
I put on just a hint of make up and pulled out my blow dryer and dried my hair quickly. I searched for something to do with my hair. I found the straightener Ryder bought me for my birthday. I had never used it and figured why not now. Adam came in a few minutes later and stared. "What? Bad?" I asked nervous. He shook his head kissing me, "nice very nice" he said and handed me a coffee. That's where he went I thought and gladly accepted the Starbucks cup. "I like your hair like that" he said as I finished straightening it. "Thanks baby" I said and kissed his cheek and turned to brush my teeth. He did the same and made silly toothpaste faces at me. "Relax babe," he said a mouth full of toothpaste. I smirk and rinsed. I was about to say something back but I heard the bell and froze. He rinsed quickly and took my hand leading me out.
Management came in with a single camera and set up quickly. My heart was beating in my throat and I felt like I was going to throw up. I swallowed hard and we sat on the couch while they prepared. They started easy, and I answered all of their questions truthfully. Then the hard questions started. I answered slowly and I thought about each reply carefully. Adam held my hand and offered up support where he saw fit. It was easier than I thought.
