It had been a day since Angel had arrived in Miami. She had made herself comfortable by the pool before picking up her phone. She brought up Twitter and began to go through her notifications. βββAngelβββ Oh yeah... Alex owes me a drink.She shoots him a direct message with the address of her hotel. A while later he messages messaged her back telling her he had arrived, Angel makes her way toward the lobby when she hears him call out her name. She stops with a smile βββAngelβββ I have a cabana by the pool, guess I should have mentioned that... oops. Anyway, a waiter will be out eventually to check on our drinks. She leads him her cabana before she takes her seat.βββAngelβββ Man it's crazy all the drama that started when XHW joined Twitter, seems my damn sister is the cause of half of it, she just doesn't know when to stop, never has. Oh well, how's life?

God damn!
That is all that runs through Alex's mind as Angel approaches. He follows her out to the cabana and takes a seat. Alex removes his shirt and sits back.
Alex Andrews: Life? Life's great. Title fight Sunday and hanging out with the hottest girl in Miami. Hell I can't complain. What about you?

βββAngelβββ Hottest? That I highly doubt. But thanks anyway.
She slides on her sunglasses before continuing to speak.
βββAngelβββ Title fight... I miss those days. Last year I was in that position at X-Fest, then I got shipped to Ignition and my career was almost ended and I fell way down the ranks so now I get to compete for money instead of gold.
It really bothered her more than she realized and that was the first time she ever mentioned it out loud.

Alex looked at her and gave a slight smile.
Alex Andrews: I know that feeling. I've spent the last year trying to regain my footing as well. I've only recently hit my stride again. Two years ago I main evented Superbrawl and that was the last time I was really relevant if you listen to some people. The thing is Angel, you can't listen to those people. And you can't listen to that voice in your head that tries to tell you the same shit.
He leans forward resting his arms on his knees and smiles real big at her.
Alex Andrews: Money's not a bad thing, but you seem to be like me in a way. Gold is so much better than money.

βββAngelβββ Hell yeah. Sure money is nice but there is nothing special about it and there is billions of ways to get it... But gold... with the gold you have to earn it, you have to be the best and holding you gold have the respect of others because they see what you're capable of and it pushes them to be better so that maybe they can one day be in your shoes. So yeah gold holds more value than money in my eyes.
The waiter arrives and Angel orders a bucket of beer.
βββAngelβββ This is what I miss the most about when I was on Riot... the travel, being in the sun. In New York I don't get to do stuff like this, I spend most of my time hiding in my apartment.

Alex orders a few shots of tequila to go with the bucket of beer. He glances over at Angel and shrugs.
Alex Andrews: Nothing wrong with hanging out in your apartment but I see what you're saying. I really have been a bit of an introvert the last few months. Aside from Ric begging me to be his wing man a few times I really don't go out as much as people may think. I've been coming back out of my shell as of late though once again. Kinda finding my stride once again. But you, you're coming off that injury and you got this big fight at XFest that will put you right up there at the top of the Eden division for a title shot. Things seem to be getting back on track for you. Hell, you're here in fucking Miami about to be drinking with the Showstealer! Life could be worse.
Alex laughs as their drinks are put in front of them and he grabs a shot of tequila and holds it up.
Alex Andrews: To a weekend to remember...

***Angel*** Showstealer... how did you earn that name? I mean I can see how you earned it but who was the first to call you that?
She raises her bottle.
***Angel*** I'll agree, it will be a weekend to remember because not only will you win the gold but I'll win the cash and all will be right with the world.
She takes a drink before continuing to speak.
***Angel*** I used to be "Hell's Sexiest Angel", because in my younger days I was a hanful. I was wrestling, doing drugs, stripping, running as an escort, juggling sugar daddies, all the while keeping the illusion that I was the perfect little angel. I have a lot of regrets and would have done a lot diffferent and I wish I never earned that name.

Alex downs the shot and lets out a slow, satisfied sigh. He then raises the next one and downs it before ordering a bourbon. He then leans back in the chair with another shot and looks over at Angel.
Alex Andrews: I think it was back in one of the indies I was wrestling for in 2004 or 2005. I was tearing the roof off the little arenas with my old tag partner. We had a falling out and were ripping into each other on a nightly basis and the announcer there started calling me Showstealer. I liked it and started using it in my promos. My tag partner ended up following me here but we have kept our distance. He's on Ignition too, Shattered Sins. Big, ugly fucker but he is an animal in the ring.
Alex downs the shot and sits the glass down on their table.
Alex Andrews: You and I seem to have traveled similar roads. The drugs, drinking, raising hell, making mistakes everywhere we went. But we seemed to be wiser for it. At least you are anyways. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders now. Guess that's why Mr. Black snatched you up when he could.

She starts laughing and almost spits beer everywhere.
βββAngelβββ That's the problem... I haven't been snatched up. I am convinced that when it comes to being in a relationship that they want all of me but want to give me none of them, it's always been that way. My ex-wife, Connor, Justin, Keith... ugh, if I was anyone else I would let it get under my skin but at this point in my life I just take what I can get. I do like Keith but I just don't know.
She takes a drink then sits down her bottle.
βββAngelβββ There is no Prince Charming and fairy tales are lies. How's that for having my head on straight? I'm fucked up I just hide it well.

Alex raises an eyebrow for just a second but then smirks and lets out a chuckle of his own.
Alex Andrews: Ex-wife huh? Didn't take you for a matrimony kind of lady. But you are right about the fairy tale bit, they're all bullshit. I mean, a glass slipper? How uncomfortable would that be? A what if it breaks? Jesus that would suck.
Alex's bourbon arrives and he hands the waitress a tip while thanking her.
Alex Andrews: But I think you're wrong about one thing, you're head is as straight as the rest of us. We're wrestlers, relationships are tough for us. Hell, I've screwed up my fair share believe me. But you learn from all the horse shit and you keep looking because what is all this for if you can't use it to get laid am I right?
Alex laughs and sips his drink.

βββAngelβββ See but it's different as a woman, we sleep around and we are a whore... a guy does it and he is the man. But anyway, yes I was married for 10 years, she wanted a dominatrix and I wanted a man so we called it quits.
It sounded silly but it was the truth, Angel was fucking the neighbor and Faith was seeing two mistresses who would tie her up just like she wanted.
βββAngelβββ And I'm not against marriage, I actually loved it when I was... the steady support, love, just having that person there when you need someone the most. One day I would love to be married again, maybe have a kid or two. But I'm sure you don't care to know my hopes and dreams.

Alex shakes his head and sighs.
Alex Andrews: People assume because I'm an asshole that I don't care about things like that. If I didn't want to get to know you I wouldn't have asked you out for drinks. And I agree marriage has it's great qualities. I almost got married not too long ago. That was the next step for us but I was growing apart from her. I wanted to break it off and I was an asshole and went about it the wrong way. The end of relationships is always rough.

βββAngelβββ Well no one is perfect and I'm sure in the moment you were thinking about what made you happy. You know if you can't make you happy then you can't expect to make someone else happy. Man I just said "happy" way to many times but you get the point, guilt shouldn't override what makes you feel good. Or... you shouldn't let someone make you feel bad about yourself, in my situation... you know I really don't like Justin Locke, he called me a liar because I started drinking again, he made me feel like I was the worst person in the world... luckily Keith was there to help me move on. God I hate to say it but I feel like all that is happening to him right now is karma for how he treated me.

Alex Andrews: Maybe so, but honestly if the guy was giving you grief over something like that then it was only a matter of time before he was ordering you around and being a complete douche. So be glad you got away when you did. But you said Keith swooped in and saved you, but you and Keith aren't together? Sounds complicated.

***Angel*** Not so much save as just being a good friend helping me through a tough time. And I dont make the first move anymore, I've been burned to many times when I do, so I guess I'm waiting on him. Can we talk about something else? I came here to get drunk and have fun not worry about why I am still single.
