Chapter 16: Meeting the Parents
December 24 (Christmas Eve) 3:24 p.m.
It was Christmas Eve, and Alexa is already in the spirit. She took out her phone and FaceTimed her parents.
Alexa: mom, dad I can't wait to be home for Christmas this year!
Angela: your father and I can't wait, honey
WWE allowed all of the Superstars to go home and spend time with their love ones this season.
Angela: we're sorry about Murphy, honey
Alexa: me too
Bob: We're looking forward to meeting your new boyfriend.
I looked at Alexa with a surprise look on my face.
Alex: how do they know about us?
Alexa: hold on dad. They saw our pictures of our date to Disneyland and our dance contest with the gang.
Alex: ahh, okay
Angela: Lexi, is that your boyfriend I hear in the background?
Alexa: yes, mom that's my boyfriend Alex, the WWE Universal Champion
Bob: wait, as the Universal Champion Alex Auditore, the same man who won the title in his debut?
Alexa: yes, dad that's him
Bob: well, we can't wait to meet him
Angela: he already sounds like a good boyfriend
Alexa: I can't wait to tell you guys about him, I got to go, and I have stuff to pack, so we will be on our way.
Alex: we? (Mouthed silently)
Angela: okay, Lexi we will be waiting, bye honey
Alexa: bye, mom
She had her hands on my arms and asked me
Alexa: can you come and spend Christmas with my family? My parents really want to meet you, babe
Alex: do I have to? What if your parents don't give me their approval?
Alexa: they will, I told them how a gentleman you are, don't worry they will like you, trust me.
She gave me a light kiss to my lips.
Alex: okay, it's better to spend it with you than being alone.
Alexa: yay! I get to celebrate Christmas with my family and my boyfriend.
Alex: we should get ready.
We packed our stuff, put them in the trunk of my Challenger and we drove to Alexa's house.
As I was driving, we got messages from the gang, and Alexa read them from her phone.
Nia: Merry Christmas, bestie xoxo
Finn: hey lad, have a Happy Christmas (too sweet emoji)
Seth: I hope you two are standing under a big mistletoe ha-ha
Sasha: make sure you two take a lot of pictures
Bayley: say hi to your parents for me, Lexi
Alexa: Merry Christmas, guys can't wait to see you again
(5 hours later)
We arrived at Alexa's parent's house, and I got a shaky feeling of nervousness
Alexa: everything will be okay, babe
She kissed me on the cheek. We got out of the car, Alexa knocked on the door and her parents came out to welcome us.
Alexa: mom, dad!
Angela: Lexi, you guys made it!
Bob: how is my girl?
Alexa: mom, dad this is Alex, my boyfriend
Angela: it's great to finally meet you, Alex
Angela hugged me, and I shook Bob's hand
Bob: finally I get to meet the Universal Champion in person.
Angela: please come in and make yourselves at home.
We went to the living room and we sat down and talked. Alexa and I sat beside each other, while her parents sat across from us.
Angela: I never knew Alexa had a handsome boyfriend.
I blushed a little bit.
Alex: thank you, ma'am
Bob: why you sound so nervous, son?
Alex: I am afraid that you guys won't like me because of the whole Murphy thing
Her parents laughed
Bob: Murphy is less of a man than you, Alex. He was never there when our daughter needed him most in her life.
Angela: I'm happy that Lexi found somebody like you. You are always there for her, and that makes us happy.
I started to smile.
Alex: thank you sir, ma'am.
Angela: what's with the formal greetings? Just call us Bob and Angela.
Bob: come on; let's celebrate Christmas with a big feast. Alex, I hope you like spring rolls and stuffed turkey.
Alex: those are my favorite sir, I mean Bob.
We washed up, sat down, and ate our Christmas dinner.
(30 minutes later)
After we ate, Bob took me outside to have a man to man talk, leaving Alexa and Angela in the living room.
Alexa: go easy on him, dad
(Outside the house)
Bob: this is a nice car you have, what kind of Challenger is this?
Alex: it's a 2015 SRT Demon.
Bob: nice, but I didn't bring you out here and talk about cars.
Alex: what is it you want to talk about, sir?
Bob: Lexi. I want to say thank you for being a good boyfriend and supporter to my daughter. She hasn't found anyone since her and Murphy broke up, and she felt sad until she met you.
Alex: it's no problem, Bob. I love your daughter so much.
Bob: there was one point in me and Angela's life is that we nearly lost Lexi twice.
I gave a concerned look.
Alex: what do you mean nearly lost her twice?
Bob: Lexi suffered from anorexia twice, she lost a lot of weight from not eating right.
Alex: I'm sorry about that; I didn't know, she never mentioned anything about her condition.
Bob: but by God's miracle, we didn't lose her, and her passion made her strong every day. When she met you, I saw how really happy she was. Alex, please promise me and Angela one thing.
Alex: what is it, Bob?
Bob: please take care of Lexi
Alex: don't worry, sir, she is safe and happy when she is with me.
Bob: thank you Alex. You got my approval
I was happy when I got his approval. Usually dads are very protective of their daughters.
(Back in the house)
Angela: I'm so happy you found a good boyfriend like Alex, Lexi!
Alexa: he was like a hero when he saved me.
Angela: just like your father.
They both laughed.
Angela: you two are so cute together when you were teammates.
Alexa: I came up with our name, Pinoy Bliss.
Angela: it really matches you two. You two proved your bond with each other, when you guys defeated The Miz and Maryse.
Alexa: thanks, mom
Angela: Alex has shown how a real man and a good boyfriend he really is, and for that he has my approval.
Alexa cried with tears of joy.
Alexa: thank you mom!
Then Bob and I came back in the house.
Bob: look Alex, it's the drama queen with the drama princess.
Angela: will you two stop?
Alexa: real men cry, you know.
Bob and I looked at each other with cocky faces while we say, "ooooohh."
Alex: you hear that, Bob? They said we're not real men.
We all laughed.
(11:30 p.m.)
Angela: we will live you two alone now, good night and Merry Christmas.
Alex and Alexa: good night and Merry Christmas to you too.
Alexa: babe, there's two Christmas gifts I want to give you.
I watched as Alexa grabbed a small box from under the tree, and she gave it to me.
Alex: what is it?
Alexa: open it
I ripped out the wrapping paper and opened the box; it's a picture of us kissing at Disneyland. I hugged Alexa tightly.
Alex: thank you so much, babe, I'll cherish this forever. By the way, what's my second present?
She pointed her finger up, I looked up and I saw a mistletoe hanging above us.
Alexa: this is your second gift.
She has her hands on my neck, and she pulled me down, closed her eyes and gave me a passionate kiss on my lips.
Alex: Merry Christmas to me.
Alexa: what's your gift to me babe?
Alex: not one gift, but two gifts. Wait here; I'll go get it.
I went outside and ran to my car, and I grabbed a wrapped box. Then, I went back in and gave it to Alexa.
Alex: open it.
She opened the box, and inside was a blue and pink scrap book, with the words Pinoy Bliss on the cover. Inside were all of our moments together. From our match with The Miz and Maryse to our date at Disneyland, our dance contest to our picture of our hands holding while wearing our promise rings. Alexa cried with tears of joy.
Alexa: I love it, babe, now we can put more memories in here.
Then I stood up, and I held her hand, and she stood up as well. She looked at me with confusion.
Alexa: what are you doing babe?
Alex: I'm giving you my second gift.
I had my hands on her waist, and I pulled her in close. I closed my eyes, and planted my lips with a kiss. She kissed me back as she has her hands on my cheek.
Alex: Merry Christmas, Little Miss Bliss
Alexa: Merry Christmas, Pinoy Prince.
We sat down and cuddled with Alexa's head on my chest and my hand holding hers, while we turned on the TV and watched Disney. She looked at me.
Alexa: I love you
I smirked and looked at her.
Alex: I love you too
