FAKING IT w/ AJ Mitchell

Travel

It's been four days and today AJ and I are off to Hawaii from LA.

"Alexa! We're going to miss the flight!" AJ yelled from down stairs. "Damn, I shouldn't have said that and we would have been able to miss the flight". He mumbled.

"I heard that," I giggled running down the stairs.

"Last chance to back out," he suggested.

"No," I said forcefully putting my baseball cap on. "We're going and we're going to have an amazing time, and prove to my family I'm not a failure!" I grabbed my bag.

"Well, technically you are lying to them so you could be a..."

"Shut up," I interrupted him. I sighed and set my suitcase up. "You ready?"

"Yes, I'm ready to act like an amazing boyfriend and win an Oscar," AJ smirked and opened the door.

"That's what I wanna hear," I grabbed my suit case and arrived to the airport and checked in.

We made it to the plane and sat in first class, I sighed looking out the window waiting for the plane to take off.

"Hey," AJ squeezed my hand. "You okay?" He smiled.

"Just nervous," I gulped.

"It's okay, we have chemistry, it'll look believable," AJ assured me.

"Anything to drink for the lovely couple?" The flight attendant smiled at us.

"I'll take rum with coke please," AJ smirked at me.

"The same and two tequila shots please," I smirked at AJ.

The flight attendant smiled and walked away.

"See, people think we're together," AJ lifted his shoulders.

"That was only for a few seconds," I sighed. "I just don't know if I can see Christian".

AJ sighed, "he's a dick, but I'll protect you. You know, I once had someone break my heart".

"Alissa?" I asked.

"Yep, I told you about her?" He was surprised.

"Kinda, you were drunk and I don't know the whole story," I looked at him.

"Figured, we broke up a month before I met you. Alissa, she was everything I ever wanted. I loved her, I was in love with her. Little did I know, the feelings weren't mutual". AJ stared off to the tv in front of him. "I caught her texting someone really naughty things, the sad thing was I tried to make it work. I said that it was okay and we'll fix it, but she didn't want to".

"AJ," I whispered holding his hand.

The flight attendant set the drinks in the middle of our seats.

"No it's okay," he sighed. "She didn't treat me right, I like to think I deserve better".

"And you do," I smiled. "To our terrible exs, for ending it so we could meet better people". I held my shot.

"To deserving better," AJ smiled and clicked his shot with mine then shot it down.

"Ugh," I sucked on the lime and laughed at AJ'S reaction.

"This is your captain speaking, we are about to set off to the nonstop flight to Maui, Hawaii. Aloha!"

AJ and I talked the whole flight and went over back stories. We landed at 2 pm and I was ready to relax.

We grabbed our suitcases and headed to the rental car to get a convertible white jeep.

"Dream car," I said as I jumped into the driver seat. "What's yours?"

"1965 Ford Mustang convertible," AJ smiled putting on his seat belt.

"Don't you have that?" I chuckled.

"Yep, my dream came true!" AJ's smile was so bright revealing his purely white teeth.

We drove to the huge resort that were staying at and parked at the vale.

"Aloha to the newly weds," I women came up to me and AJ.

"No, we're not married," I giggled.

"Yeah, we're not even together..." AJ trailed off, but I aggressively slapped his arm. "Sorry, I mean..."

"Oh," the women was shocked and walked away.

"What was that about?" AJ rubbed his freshly slapped arm before hanging his sunglasses on the hem of his shirt.

"I didn't fly you out for you to mess up not even half way through!" I whispered yelled at him.

I then changed my attitude as the ladies gave me and AJ flowered leis.

"I love this place already," AJ whispered.

"Oh shit, I see my mom!" I yanked AJ's hand and he was hesitant at first.

"Alexa!" My mom screamed making people stare. She quickly powered walked to us and greeted us with hugs. "You must me be AJ, so handsome". I could already tell she had drank a lot.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Night," AJ smiled at her.

"Oh," she laughed. "I haven't been called Mrs. Night since this one was five". She chuckled, "it's Ms. Godwin, but you can call me Claire".

"Where's Zoey?" I asked, changing the subject, before my mom rambles about the divorce that was 20 years ago.

"I don't know, but everyone's getting together at the poolside for a meet and greet," she smiled at us and kept staring at AJ.

"Oh and I checked you two in," she pulled out room keys and handed them to me. "They made a mistake and said there was two twin beds," she laughed. "But don't worry I asked for a king!"

"Oh great," I looked at AJ who looked nervous. "Well, we'll meet you down there as soon as we get our stuff to the room".

"Okay sounds groovy," she smiled. "Oh and if you see your father and his whore, don't tell them I charged my bill to his!" She giggled and began sipping her drink.

"Okay mom," I shook my head with a grin. I grabbed AJ's arm and we walked to the elevator.

"She's something," AJ chuckled as we road the elevator.

"She had a lot to drink, but sadly that's not an excuse cause she's always like that," I shook my head.

"Well she's lovely, I see where you get it from". AJ smirked.

"Get what?" I asked concerned.

"You're humor and craziness," he chuckled.

"I do not," I hit him with my bag offended.

"Say what you want, but it's just an older version of you," he grinned with his mouth close.

"Ew," I started thinking about who my mom was. I love her, but she's absolutely nuts.
