It All Started With A Kiss (Continuation)

Paint balling With John & A House Show

It's now Wednesday, and we're all sound asleep. Except Mike, he wakes up a tad early because he's stopping by the TMZ studio to film tonight's episode. He quietly gets up and out of bed, grabbing clothes for the day and heading into the bathroom to change and whatnot. After he changes, he comes out and leaves a note for Aly telling her where he went and that he's going to be back later. He quickly kisses her, before heading out to the TMZ studio. She wakes up about 10 minutes later to find Mike not there. She looks over on the nightstand next to her and reads the note that Mike left.

She tosses it back on the nightstand and rearranges the pillows before going back to sleep. I in the meantime wake up to the sound of the shower going. I look at the time and it's really early.

"What could he possibly be up so early for?" I ask myself, plopping my head back onto the pillow.

Alex eventually comes out, half dressed.

"You're up early." I mumble.

"Just felt like it for some reason. You can go back to sleep if you want." He says, sitting on the edge of the bed, running his fingers through my hair.

"Well good, I'm half dead here. Not quite ready to get up yet." I laugh slightly.

"I can tell." He chuckles.

"Goodnight...again." I say turning my head, laying face first on the pillow.

"At least make sure you can breathe." He laughs a little.

"I can breathe." My voice muffled by the pillow.

"If you say so. We don't need you suffocating."

"I'm not going to suffocate." I say, turning my head so the side of it's on the pillow.

"Better?" I ask.

"Much." He says and kisses me gently.

"Go back to sleep, I'll wake you up after a while."

"Alright." I say, going back to sleep.

After a half hour passes by, the door to Aly and Mike's room opens and in walks Mike. At this point she has all the pillows stacked around her and the blanket is tucked in to make a cocoon, her head being the only visible part of her body. Mike smiles, and lets her keep sleeping for a while. He sits down on the couch and just messes about on his phone. Aly starts pulling the blanket in tighter and grumbling about cold hotel rooms and lack of space heater boyfriends, all the while still on the edge of sleep. He chuckles at the comment, but then comes over and lays next to her to see if she'd respond to that. She instantly latches onto him and sighs contentedly.

"Morning to you too." He chuckles.

"Mmm...yeah whatever..." She mumbles sleepily.

"You know you have to get up sometime."

"Not moving."

"You'll have to eventually though. Maybe not now, but eventually."

"Eventually, but not now so shush."

He laughs lightly, and just lays there with her as she sleeps some more. A little bit later she finally wakes up fully and she's still laying against Mike and he's running one hand up and down her arm. She blinks in confusion since she doesn't remember him coming in or their brief conversation since she was so out of it.

"Morning...again." He smiles as he sees her wake up.

"Again?"

"You don't remember? Well, you must've been really tired when I got back from TMZ this morning."
