It All Started With A Kiss (Continuation)

Capitol Punishment

It's now the day of the PPV, thankfully I'm able to take time off from competing because the wedding is so close. It's such a relief to not worry about getting seriously hurt. I'm busy getting dressed for the day, but before I put my shirt on, I can still see the mark that Alex left on my collarbone from earlier in the week.

"...it's still there..." I mumble.

I finish in the bathroom and walk out, pinning Alex with a look.

"...what?" He asks.

"It's still there." I pull down the collar of my shirt enough for him to see.

"It's not as bad as it was before though."

"But it's still there." I repeat.

"3 days...3 days for it to disappear or be less noticeable." I add.

"It'll be fine."

"If you say so. Who were you on the phone with?" I ask, having heard him on the phone while I was in the bathroom.

"My lawyers."

"For what?"

"My DUI charge, and other charges resulting from that."

"...and?"

"I've been cleared of everything." He grins.

I squeal in happiness and practically tackle him, kissing his lips repeatedly.

"That's the best news you could've ever gotten!"

"I know." He laughs.

"And just in time too..." I smile.

"Yeah." He smiles too.

"I don't think anything can ruin this day."

"I hope not."

"I gotta go tell Aly and Mike the news." I say, jumping off the bed and leaving the bedroom.

I go to the other bedroom and knock. I get a response so I open the door and go in. Aly's laying on the bed reclined against the pillows with Mike's head resting on her stomach while she runs her fingers through her hair.

"I have some great...no wait awesome news."

"Mmm, what's that?"

"That DUI charge and other charges that Alex had gotten in November...he's been cleared of all of them."

"Oh wow, that IS awesome." She smiles.

"The best news we could've ever gotten."

"For sure." She nods.

"Well that's all I wanted to tell you." I smile, and bounce out of the room, closing the door behind me.

Mike chuckles against Aly's stomach.

"That probably made her day."

"I'm sure it did." She laughs lightly.

"One less thing to worry about. But speaking of worrying, be careful tonight..." She adds.

"I'll do my best, just like every other time." Mike assures her.

"I know..." She sighs.

"And I know...don't be too hard on Alex. Carly already told me."

"Right."

"So anything you would like to do today before we go to the arena?"

"Um...not that I can think of off the top of my head."
