Valentines day

[fabbiem]

I have no idea whether Becky will even be at the centre today, but I call in there first, I see a pile of Valentines cards on one of the tables so I go over to inspect them. There's a few for all of the guys so I slip Becky's onto the pile and hope that she won't kill me!

Then I text Lando to tell him I'm on my way over. I have my bag of food with me, a card for Lando that I made, and at a chocolate shop yesterday I bought a box of chocolates shaped like little racing cars, and some shaped like dumbbells for Austin and Tyler. I'd feel so rude not turning up with anything for them! I love giving gifts and hope they will all like them!

I push the buzzer for the crazy family, and then wait for someone to answer, bouncing on my feet.

"How come previous relationships haven't worked out?" I ask curiously. "I just seem to fall for the wrong kind of guy. Some I think just can't get over the fact that I live with a man, and we're close. I finally wanna find my Mr. Right, watching Jules find his has made me crave it even more," I smile. "I've got one course left to do before I can officially be a Personal Trainer. Maybe with time that'll pay the bills instead of modelling. I love it but...I also love helping people hit their goals and seeing them kick butt!"

"I got a lot of...'it's not you, it's me...'" I shrug slightly and I really don't want to talk badly about the women I've dated. "I guess it might be me not having that much time, sometimes being away for weeks, when we're on a tour...the fact my job is my number one priority...and some were disappointed I'm not as bad ass in real life than I am in the ring?" I grin slightly, but that one really sucked.

I make a thoughtful noise. "Might work better now he's got Nick in his life...I mean, one look at the two of them tells you, Jules has not even the slightest interest in you in that way." I laugh. "I gave up trying that hard...it either will happen or it won't..." I shrug slightly. "I love that too...to see Nick work his butt off and getting better and better...I help out sometimes but he soon will be the one teaching the newest recruits and then I hope we'll get into NXT UK...it makes me proud." I smile warmly.

He doesn't say anything negative at all about anyone he's dated and I suppose I can understand why some of those things might put people off. I grin back at him when he says some people were disappointed he wasn't as bad ass in real life. "None of those things have put me off. I've got a number one priority as well, and I'm an independent kinda gal. I feel like we have enough in common and enough differences too," I think that's important.

I laugh, "And believe me the feeling is mutual!" I smile warmly when he talks about loving to see Nick improve and how proud he is of him. "I love that...and that you're a family and so encouraging and supportive of each other. Someone told me once that the couple who train together, stay together...Maybe that's the secret,"

[adamxcole]

That sounds like she likes me and wants more, which makes me very happy on one side, but on the other, I've heard the independence woman story a few times by now and there is a kid involved too, which I have met only briefly so far.

I grin at her. "It would be a little weird if not, but then again, you can't tell your heart what to do, I guess." I nod. "We are. Our trainers tell us what it was like way back when and that they want to make sure it never will be like that again, because when everyone is hating each other, not only morale suffers, but also the matches too, when you feel you can't fully trust the other guy, I guess. I mean with some stuff the other person has complete control over your body and you have to trust they protect you as well as they are able to."

[aussie_elyse]

I smile “The heart wants what the heart wants, but if I did have a thing for him, living with him for almost ten years would have been absolute torture! That probably wouldn’t have been healthy for either of us!” I listen to what he says about that trust having to be there. “From what I’ve watched I can see how that trust and respect has to be there. I can’t imagine how scary that must have been if some wrestlers didn’t have the other persons safety in mind. It’s pretty amazing I think when you can just fully trust someone in any situation,”

[adamxcole]

"That would be very unhealthy for...well not only the two of you, I imagine." I nod along to what she says and smile slightly. "One of the trainers and one of the best at his time still managed to have amazing matches even though he truly hated his opponent...I can't even begin to imagine how scary that must be." It's pretty cool to talk to her and I guess if nothing else, we can become good friends,

[aussie_elyse]

"No, that wouldn't have been a good environment for Alex to grow up in either. You'll have to come over some time for dinner...and hang out with him more, if you want to, make him even more game obsessed," I grin, and I feel like no matter what happens between Adam and I, whether we're just friends or more, Alex wouldn't get hurt. He will probably be in Alex's life anyway because he's Nick's family, like Austin and Breeze are. "I was just thinking you two will probably end up hanging out anyway, no matter what happens with us, he loves Nick so much, and Austin and Breeze too. I'm so happy he has heaps of people who he could turn to if he has stuff he doesn't wanna talk to me and Jules about," I shake my head at the thought of having to trust someone you hated. "That was so brave of them, I don't think I could have done that, and I'm glad that you guys won't have to do that!"

[adamxcole]

"I'd like that, especially since I'm not that great of a cook." I laugh and wink at her. "We could then have a race too. I'm so happy for Nick that he is so accepted and loved. Well and it's really hard to not like Austin or Breeze." I smile fondly and nod. "Oh yeah he has every variety of person right there when he needs it. I guess that kind of this is inevitable really, for a while talking to your parents is the worst. Oh and yes, I'm so glad we all are the right mix of crazy...well the others are crazy and I sometimes feel like the daddy." I laugh.

[aussie_elyse]

I give him a warm smile when he says he'd like that and then laugh too, "You're in luck, I love cooking, I had to learn it as a mom skill. I can sew now as well and...I have eyes in the back of my head too, but that's a secret. We should invite Nick too, he's better competition for the race than Jules is," He really isn't good at video games. "He'd rather just pick up his guitar and play that. He does beat us at guitar hero though...Even when he says it isn't really like playing at all. We're starting to accept that no matter how cool we plan on being as parents, or think we're being as parents, there will be stuff he doesn't wanna talk to us about. We need to let know about all the fun things puberty might bring soon," Sometimes it doesn't feel right that my baby is growing up so quickly...But that's what they do. "That makes sense to me, you seem really relaxed and not phased by much...from what I've seen so far,"

[adamxcole]

I laugh. "That's what it is...did they just grow when you became a Mum? I always wondered how my Mum picked up on all that stuff she wasn't supposed to!" I nod. "Sure, sounds great to me and that's something I haven't ever tried playing." I squeeze her shoulder lightly. "I guess it's try what they say about kids growing up way too fast, hm? Oh I'm really not, I just try to see the positive side of everything and everyone and don't take life too seriously. Have fun when you can..."

[aussie_elyse]

I laugh, "Yep! It was weird at first to get used to them but they're soooo helpful and fun, and now I'm afraid I'm going to have to kill you," I snort softly, feeling comfortable enough to not be a 'lady' at all times. That isn't me anyway, despite what people might assume from the modelling. "Perfect, we'll make that a date...a double dinner date," I smile when he squeezes my shoulder and nod. "Way too fast, but I do love seeing his personality develop...He gets some mannerisms from Jules too, it's so cute. I can see his biological father in his features as he's getting older so...I think it feels good to Jules too when Alex does or says things like him," I squeeze his arm. "I like that philosophy on life a lot,"
