Break The Shell(Alexa Bliss X Male Reader)

Chapter 3

A few days after the Live Event, it was finally a day off for everyone. No shows, no signings, no interviews or anything.  It was one of the very few opportunities to just sit back and relax from all the trouble. Life on the road was hard, especially for the ones who had a family to take care of. These people could only hope to take the time and call or facetime their loved ones at any given point. It wasn't anything new, but it was tearing at them nonetheless.

For Y/N however, that wasn't the case. He had only himself to take care of and he took to it pretty easily. From keeping himself in shape, to keeping his job going, all the way over to keeping his friendships alive. Sure, there were times where he felt lonely since his parents lived so far away and his highschool friends all moved in different directions. Y/N didn't even have a pet to have some company. Starting into the day, Y/N brushed his teeth and did his hair, not knowing how his day off would go. He heard that there was a local swimming pool near the hotel he stayed in, so that might be worth checking out. Or he could go to the park and relax there. Anything that got him out of the hotel was good enough for the young man.

Y/N just had a quick breakfast of some cereal, a cup of tea and a protein shake. A healthy life style was important too, especially in a physical profession like wrestling. Smiling softly, Y/N looked around, lost in thought. Something was bugging him right there. This was usual, but it seemed more serious this time around. He was so bummed by it that he didn't even finish his food, but took his sports bag and walked out with his ear phones in. This time, Y/N made sure he wouldn't bump into anyone, taking a look along the hallway before walking out and locking his room. This time though, someone specifically walked up to him and when Y/N turned around, he was face to face with Mickie James.

Mickie:" Good morning, Y/N."

Y/N:" Morning, Mickie. What's up?"

Mickie:" Not much. I just wanted to see what you're up to."

Y/N:" I was about to head out to the park and get a bit of exercise in."

Mickie:" Sounds good to me. Me and the girls are going to the pool, so I wanted to ask, if you're interested in joining us."

Y/N:" Depends on who will be there."

Mickie:" Oh, you know. The usual suspects: me, Liv, Peyton, Lana, Alicia, Naomi, Tamina, Alexa."

By hearing Alexa's name, Y/N grew a big smirk on his face as he looked at Mickie.

Mickie:" I know that expression, Y/N. What do you have on your mind now?"

Y/N:" Well, you know me and Little Miss Bliss have somewhat of a strained friendship going on."

Mickie:" Friendship isn't the right word though, is it?"

Y/N:" I'm not her enemy, if that's what you think."

Mickie:" Your attitude towards her tells me otherwise."

Y/N:" Come on. You know I'm a jerk most of the time and you also know why that is."

Mickie:" I do, but Alexa doesn't. So please when you come to the pool, don't be that much of a jerk, okay?"

Giving Y/N the sad puppy eyes, Mickie really did her best to soften him up. It was important to her that everyone at least got along. So the fact that Y/N sighed and gave in was enough for Mickie to hug him.

Mickie:" Aww, thanks. You're the best, Y/N."

Y/N:" You'll have to repay me for that somehow. I'm leaving my comfort zone after all."

Mickie:" Just admit that you're a softie at heart."

Y/N:" Yeah yeah. Now get on with it before I change my mind."
