The bell rings and Alex takes the upper hand.

Alex: You think that's eww.... imagine having your dad "proposition" your wife for a dance at your wedding.

Pockets Tue Jul 05, 2011 7:10 pm

Alexis laughs as she pulls off a reversal.

Alexis: And here I thought propositioning might be completely innocent on your side of the pond.

Cruel Britannia Tue Jul 05, 2011 7:12 pm

Alex laughs as he button mashes to get out of a pin.

Alex: Only when my dad says it.

Pockets Tue Jul 05, 2011 7:17 pm

Alexis makes a face as the pin is broken at the 2 count.

Alexis: Your dad really must be innocent... the stories your mom was telling....

Cruel Britannia Tue Jul 05, 2011 7:19 pm

Alex looks curious as he tags in Ewan.

Alex: Stories? What stories?

Pockets Tue Jul 05, 2011 7:36 pm

Alexis: She explained the famous sushi dinner... and how nervous your dad was that night... just in case it was an Edwards trait.

After a moment, with a smirk, she tags in Ashley.

Alexis: Here's the moment you've been waiting for... should I just put the controller down and let you go at it?

Cruel Britannia Tue Jul 05, 2011 7:46 pm

Alex blushes.

Alex: Uh..... well um...... yeah It does kinda run in the family.

He smirks

..... it's no fun if he doesn't fight back.

Alex starts getting in a little offense on Ashley. But after a while his breathing quicken, tears start welling in his eyes and the offence begins to focus on Ashley's head.

Pockets Tue Jul 05, 2011 9:31 pm

Alexis notices the game is getting a little too personal for Alex, and starts trying to move Ashley back toward his corner where Moira waits with her hand outstretched, leaning over the turnbuckle.

Alexis: Alright... enough with dad....

Any attempt at a tag is foiled by Ewan, who appears to still be doing everything he can to Ashley's head. Alexis glances over at the very upset and single minded Alex.

Alexis: Um... Alex? Maybe we should stop playing....

Cruel Britannia Tue Jul 05, 2011 10:33 pm

Alex suddenly snaps out of it. As he realises what he's been doing he drops the control and look of complete shame crosses his face.

Alex: I...... I'm sorry.

He quickly darts out of the room.

Pockets Tue Jul 05, 2011 10:35 pm

Alexis: Woah... hey!

She puts down her controller and goes after Alex.

Cruel Britannia Tue Jul 05, 2011 10:38 pm

Alexis stops Alex in his tracks but he continues to hide his face from her.

Pockets Tue Jul 05, 2011 10:41 pm

From behind Alexis puts her hands on Alex's shoulders.

Alexis: Hey... why did you go running off? I know dad is nowhere near your favorite person.

Cruel Britannia Tue Jul 05, 2011 10:43 pm

Alex: I shouldn't be showing you that part of me..... it's not fair on you.

Pockets Tue Jul 05, 2011 10:45 pm

Alexis shakes her head.

Alexis: I married you... so I should know all of you... the good and the bad.

Cruel Britannia Tue Jul 05, 2011 10:48 pm

Alex: How the hell can I show you that in good conscience..... it's your dad Lexi.

Pockets Tue Jul 05, 2011 10:51 pm

Alexis: And I'm well aware of what happened. Sure I'd love for all the history to be in the past... but I know it's not, it can't ever be. I'd much rather you take it out on a game then against dad himself... but if even a game affects you that badly....

Cruel Britannia Tue Jul 05, 2011 10:56 pm

Alex turns to face her his eyes still red.

Alex: I'm sorry Lexi....... I wish I could be stronger for you.

Pockets Tue Jul 05, 2011 11:06 pm

Alexis takes Alex face in her hands, looking deeply in his eyes.

Alexis: You're only human, and it's alright for you to show me that side of you. I know how you feel about dad, as much as you've tried to hide it. I appreciate you trying to make me happy by pretending everything is ok, but I'd rather you wouldn't pretend in front of me. It's alright to be human in front of me. I'm not going anywhere.

Cruel Britannia Tue Jul 05, 2011 11:15 pm

Alex wraps his arms around her as if to ensure she's not going going anywhere and buries his face in her neck.

Alex: I love you.

Pockets Tue Jul 05, 2011 11:19 pm

Alexis returns the hug, showing she's not going anywhere.

Alexis: I love you, too

Cruel Britannia Tue Jul 05, 2011 11:23 pm

Alex fixates on Lexi's face again.

Alex: How did I get so lucky?

Pockets Tue Jul 05, 2011 11:27 pm

Alexis looks back at Alex, confused.

Alexis: Lucky? Why, because I'd rather be with Alex the person than Alex the perfect robot?

Cruel Britannia Tue Jul 05, 2011 11:32 pm

Alex smiles.

Alex: Well yeah..... not all wives are as understanding of their husband's flaws as you are cutie.

Pockets Tue Jul 05, 2011 11:42 pm

Alexis: Well, that's silly. Why be with someone if you're not willing to accept who they are?

Cruel Britannia Tue Jul 05, 2011 11:45 pm

Alex shrugs

Alex: When I was little my mum always used to warn me about girls who'd try and change me..... they see it as like.... a challenge or something..... maybe that's why.
