It All Started With A Kiss (Continuation)

Raw After The Royal Rumble

Monday Night Raw after the Rumble. Aly and Mike have already gotten ready and are waiting down in the car for us. Alex and I are getting ready like usual, and I come out after changing and put my regular clothes back into my bag. I turn around as Alex is finishing up getting ready himself and I notice something different about him. His right cheek on his face was slightly puffy/swollen. I immediately worry and I become concerned.

"Alex?" I ask, as he's preoccupied in front of the mirror getting ready.

"Huh?"

"What happened to your face?" I ask, walking over to him.

"Wha- oh that. It just swelled up from a hit during the Rumble."

"You got hit that hard? It doesn't hurt does it?" I say, a concerned tone heard in my voice.

"Not really but thank you for the concern." He says, kissing my cheek.

"Well when things like this happen, how can I not be concerned..."

"I've had worse, I'll be fine."

"I know you've had worse...I've seen it. Especially the moment involving a now unemployed bald headed ninja Kaval..."

Alex winces and touches the back of his head, remembering the incident.

"Yeah, like that."

"But, you never have to deal with him again. Or the risk of that happening." I say, wrapping my arms around his neck and staring into his eyes.

"Right." He smiles a little, resting his forehead against mine.

The ringing of my phone snaps us out of the moment and I unwrap my arms from around him. I walk over and answer the phone.

"Hello?"

"What's taking you so long?" Aly asks on the other line.

"We were talking about something, sorry. We'll be down in a minute." I reply.

"Okay."

I hang up and put my phone in my bag, grabbing my jacket and putting it on and my bag.

"We should get going, Aly's being a little impatient tonight." I laugh.

"When isn't she?" Alex laughs.

"When she's occupied by Mike."

"Which clearly isn't happening right now." I add.

Alex chuckles and agrees, putting his jacket on and following me out of the room. We head downstairs and then outside, getting into the car. Aly notices in the rear view mirror what happened to Alex.

"Whoa, DC what happened to you?"

"Bad hit during the Rumble." He shrugs.

"But he's okay." I add.

"And that's all that matters."

"Right."

"So what's going on for matches tonight?"

"Well I got a rematch with Edge tonight." Mike replies.

"Oh great." Aly rolls her eyes.

"Yeah, since no one won last week, this time there HAS to be a winner."

"Well hopefully it's you."

"Hopefully."

We get to the arena and head inside. I drop back to walk by Aly.

"So are you and Mike okay?" I ask.

"Yeah we're fine. Talking with Sully helped. I'm still not happy with what Mike did but it is what it is." She replies shrugging.
