The A-List

Alyssa stared out the window humming a song in her head, knowing fully well that she was a terrible singer. She didn't pretend to be and didn't intend on trying to be a singer. Her throat was just not made for such things. She also knew this was Thomas' favorite dress, but it was uncomfortable at the moment since it felt like it was just sticking to her. She liked flowy dresses, not because she was uncomfortable with her body, but because she felt like she could move better in them. Stepping out of the limo, Alyssa took Thomas' hand in her own before feeling it transfer to her hip a small smile playing at her lips. "I love you too." She told him before walking with him towards their stage room where there was water and food. She ate a little bit, ignoring the gift basket, honestly having not seen it. Hearing a laugh, she turned her head towards Thomas raising an eyebrow.

Alyssa saw him take out a box and gave a wide smile shaking her head. When he tossed them towards her, Alyssa tossed them in the trash and said, "I suppose so." She popped her muscles before stretching a little bit more needing to feel more relaxed. She never got nervous anymore, but Alyssa did get tense especially from car.s She saw down beside Thomas a yawn coming out of her mouth as she played a game on her phone curling up beside him before taking his phone and her own stuffing them into her purse, walking along the hallway as she made her way towards the stage. Feeling Thomas take her hand, she smiled to herself walking out with him knowing he was a crowd pleaser. Alyssa took the subtle approach, simply giving a wave and a sweet smile, making her way towards Ellen. She hugged her before sitting down on the couch, crossing her legs gently.

Thomas sat and held Alyssa's hand in his lap after he gave a small hug to Ellen as well, he glanced across at his fiancé and just smiled. Thomas loved theatrics and putting on a show, he liked applause and pleasing people. Alyssa always told him Lady Gaga wrote Applause for him. When the couple was both sitting, as was Ellen, he looked to the crowd and flashed another smile, and back to her. Ellen introduced the couple but stated they obviously didn't need any introduction. She had a small slideshow of the pictures announcing their engagement playing on the screen behind them. She asked about Alyssa's ring, having her show it off, then asked Thomas how he picked it out. She asked Alyssa how she felt about the proposal and the wedding, and how their overall vacation went. She asked the couple if they had any plans yet, when where, and if her and Portia would be invited. Thomas answered when questions were directed at him, and just did little things to please the crowd when they were directed at Alyssa. He kept his hand in hers but let go at one point when he was answering a question because he was quite Italian and used his hands to talk a lot.

Just as they were finishing up Ellen said she had something for them before they could go. Thomas couldn't help but grin and chuckle. He knew it would be something funny, it was Ellen he didn't expect anything else from her. So he sat and waited as she got a very large box. She told the two to stand up, which Thomas did, and she then handed him a jacket and Alyssa one telling them to put it on. The front for both of them said 'the IT couple' but the back said king and queen respectively. Thomas laughed softly at it and thanked Ellen. She told them that they would be able to wear them to remind people that they are the goals for a perfect relationship. Thomas bit his lip but gave a nod and a stupid grin again. They sat down to finish the segement. When she dismissed them Thomas stood, putting his hand on alyssa's hip, and giving her a kiss as they walked out and towards their limo.

Alyssa felt Thomas' gaze on her and simply flashed him a small smile before looking back towards Ellen hearing her call for her attention. Alyssa tried her best to answer Ellen's questions to the best of her ability, but she was a quite awkward person as it was, and it didn't help that she was a movie star and awkward. The two didn't often work together in a cohesive way. She brightened a little when Ellen asked about their vacation, telling her all about it, knowing for a fact that that was something she couldn't fuck up explaining about. Her fans always complained about her not speaking a lot and the truth was, Alyssa didn't like speaking directly to people, she preferred acting where she didn't have to be herself. Well, in this setting, she had to be herself, not only that -- but she had to express herself and show the world who SHE was, and Alyssa was an actress so she didn't have to be herself. Hearing her ask if Protia and herself were invited made Alyssa grin, "Of course. I personally haven't given the wedding much thought as of yet. I'm going slow, since we're going to be filming here soon for the new movie we're doing." She explained, feeling Thomas let go of her hand to explain things.

Alyssa blinked hearing that Ellen had something for her. She smiled knowing the woman went to great lengths to appear humorous as well as being a great person in general. That was what Alyssa admired about Ellen as much as possible. It helped that she voiced Dory as well. Seeing the present, she blinked standing up with Thomas laughing when she saw the jacket. "Thank you." She told him before kissing her on the cheek and hugging her. "You know you're always invited to anything. Portia and you." She told her in her ear a smile on her face before waving goodbye to the groud as they went back towards their limo. The smile fell as soon as they were in the limo and she groaned. "My face hurts from smiling." She laughed softly before kissing Thomas back now that they were in the car. Resting her head, Alyssa glanced around the limo wrinkling her nose a little.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Thomas slid into the limo and leaned back, cracking his back and yawning. He smiled as she kissed him, moving one hand to her cheek and pulling her a little closer, his lips staying against hers. "I'm sorry, you did great." He mumbled against her lips before pulling away. He let out a happy sigh and leaned back into the seat. As they drove off, he looked over at her, and raised an eyebrow. "What's that for?" He asked, hand resting on her thigh now. Thomas used his free hand and unlocked his phone, checking their emails. "So they want us on set tomorrow?" He said, half a statement half a question. Thomas was excited to film something again with Alyssa, but he knew that his stress levels rose so much when he was actively filming a movie, and that's when he had outburst of anger and emotion, that's when the couple fought. His eyes stared out at the road around them as they drove. "How about we get some food?" He asked, leaning forward and opening the small window, telling their driver to stop at a restaurant. Thomas just wanted to make Alyssa's happy. It really was what he wanted.

When the limo stopped Thomas got out, opening the door and helping Alyssa out. It wasn't a super high end restaraunt. Just a simple one, because he knew she liked that sometimes. He walked in and got the couple a table. Tho,as hoped not a lot of people would notice them, or recognize them. For a great actor, he was terrible with stress and loud situations. A few times the couple had got swarmed by fans, Thomas got very anxious and irritated, and ended up freaking out and storming off, then yelling at Alyssa that night. Thomas sat down, beggining to read over the menu. He smiled, the food all sounded good, he ordered a drink first and an appetizer for the couple to share. "So, I'm not funny, how the hell am I going to be in a comedy?" He said and gave her a weak smile. Thomas was quite worried he would be bad at his job, and go back to step one with Alyssa.

Alyssa smiled softly feeling his face on her cheek and popped her neck after hearing him pop his back and yawned as well feeling his hand on her thigh and smiled looking out the window as he checked his phone. "It stinks in this limo for some reason." She told him shrugging. "I will get over it." She nodded hearing his question. "Yep." She realized what that meant and immediately became a bit somber and reserved before just looking out the window and closed her eyes gently knowing fro a fact that she hated whenever he filmed. He knew he had issues and refused to go get them looked at. She didn't understand it. She just wanted to help. She looked up hearing him and nodded, "Sure." She told him and pulled away so he could talk to the driver. She crossed her legs and stared out the window, letting her chin rest on her hand before she closed her eyes and simply lost herself in her thoughts.

Feeling the limo stop, she stretched yawning and opened her eyes to reveal the gorgeous turquoise color and got out gently. She looked at the place and smiled happily glad that it wasn't a high end restaurant. Oh how she tired of being fancy all the damn time. She was a normal person who just wanted a damn greasy burger sometimes. Walking into the restaurant, Alyssa sat down across from Thomas and began to look at the menu humming as she decided what she wanted. She ordered a water before looking up hearing him order an appetizer. She blinked letting her chin rest on her hands and shrugged, "Mad lib it. Just because the director finds it funny, doesn't mean you can't add your own humor into it. They aren't that hard, despite what everyone thinks. Just say what you normally would to be when you're being a smart ass and I'm sure you'll be fine." She told him chuckling softly as she did so.

Thomas glanced over at Alyssa as she sobered up, he bit his lip and let out a small sound of sadness, looking away. Thomas knew very well he had problems, but he was just too scared to get them checked or get help. It was not only his pride, but he also juts believed he wouldn't be able to get anymore jobs and would become a disappointment to his family and his fiancé if that happened. He couldn't risk losing her like that, Thomas knew she would never leave because of a fight, or hoped so, but he could take her leaving him for being a failure. Nope. Thomas knew Alyssa was perfect for him. She felt with him, and gave him all the love he deserved, when they were on, they worked so well. He wouldn't risk it. Thomas glanced at the menu, and tapped his fingers on he table before he reached across the table and grabbed her hand. Looking into her eyes he said, "I love you, I always will, and always have. Remember that please, please." He said in a quiet, child like voice, his eyes filled with fear. As soon as he said it, his eyes shot down the the menu again. Thomas squeezed her hand and glanced up with a fake smile as the waitress arrived. He ordered fish and chips as his meal. "See in a cute diner like this you can't tell me I can't eat unhealthy." Thomas teased her. She kept the guy fit and healthy, he Appreciated it, he wouldn't remmeber to do it on his own. "I know I know, but I don't really think I'm funny. I'm just an asshole. And I have to play my funny lines off you andthe co star, who I don't know yet, all I know it is someone who is usually in comedies."

Thomas had a million thoughts running through his mind. He couldn't think or focus on multiple things at a time, he also had a tendency to quickly spout out the things he wanted to, or neededto get done. "Also we have to have a big family dinner, my immediate family and house, about the wedding. You know my family is gonna be all over it, and well yours." He trailed off, not wanting to outright say her parents seemed to care more about her money than her. He tapped his foot nervously, biting his lip. Thomas looked up at Alyssa as he tried to clam his mind. "I'm sorry I'm like this. Thi sis a cute diner, not the usual, but I get sick of four hundred dollar meals."

Alyssa honestly didn't care if anything thought less of her, she was her and she couldn't help the way she was. Fuck anyone else. She looked up and ran a hand throughout her red hair and sighed softly to herself while looking out the window. She hated that he wouldn't get help. It wouldn't do anything bad, and they could keep it a secret, She just didn't comprehend what was going on in his big stupid head because he wouldn't let her in or let her help it. It was so aggravating to be told you were their everything and not be let inside of their head. She hummed softly as she looked at the menu and looked up hearing him, and said, "I love you too, but I can't do that shit again." She told him knowing for a fact he knew what she meant. She hated him like that, well not him, but the fact that he just switched off and went away. She felt him squeeze her hand and told the waitress she would just have some chicken tenders and fries and a water. "Of course i can. It just won't be logical." She scoffed half-heartedly. She smiled softly and yawned softly and shrugged, "I think you're funny, and so does most of the world that watches you." She told him.

Alyssa blinked hearing him just switch subjects very quickly and blinked, "Sure. If anything we can do it at the house. I hate outings, especially whenever we have our family because then they're just annoying with it" She shrugged. She hummed softly and said, "That means your brother will have to be part of it." She teased him before saying, "I'm well aware my parents care more about money than I do, you don't have to beat around the bush. Just say it." She murmured softly before feeling him tapping his foot nervously. She watched him tilting her head to the side, "I hate fancy restaurants. so this is perfect." She told him. "There's no damn reason on the earth to pay four hundred dollars on a steak and some potatoes." She shrugged.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Thomas bit his lip and nodded. He would try his hardest for her, he would, he knew now the different triggers of his emprions, or should say emotional outbreak. He swallowed hard and kept his eyes low for a bit before glancing up and grinning at her. "We both know you can be a bit illogical sometimes." Thomas teased her, shrugging his shoulders. "If you say so, I don't think so, but I guess the women is always right." Thomas nodded with a wink. Glancing around the diner, Thomas enjoyed being in a normal setting, it was calming, he genuinely enjoyed liking a normal setting. "Babe, you know what I think would be awesome." He paused and tapped his fingers on the back of her hand. "We should go to a country place, like a small town kinda thing, maybe not here or anything, but somewhere where we aren't known. Like for a month or something. So we can live like normal people. I think that would be awesome. It'd be cute. We can go after this movie is done? They told me two and a half months." He said, grabbing her hand and holding it again. "I got an email form the director, and there's a scene that is like the two of us areabout to have sex and the dumb best friend walks in. And let me tell you, you're gonna die when you see the outfit they want." He said with a snicker. "But they say you can make anything look nice. I have to agree for the most part, you're damn fuckin fine." He purred and leaned across to kiss her lips quickly.

"I like that idea, our house is neutral because for some reasons our parents are too fond of each other, but they can get over it." He nodded curtly, deciding in his head about different things for the night. "My parents like home meal stuff, does that mean we have to cook, because I don't know how." When Alyssa mentioned his brother he sighed heavily. "Yea, I know, my oh so wonderful brother." He rolled his eyes, but noticing her look smiled. "I love him but he's a pain, and my little sister, I'll have to pay for her ticket to get out here, did I tell you she started college, Princeton. I told her I'd pay for it because she's done so good. She's the smart one in the family." He beamed. "I know I don't like saying it though. Your family sucks babe. I'm just glad we're gonna have one so you'll know at least one family doesn't." Thomas told her with another shrug. When their food appeared he dug in quickly, he was starved. "This is good." He commented between bites.

@ BadStreetBoys
Alyssa didn't want him just trying his hardest, she wanted him to fucking realize that he couldn't do this shit by himself and it just made her so angry most times to be honest. "Who is both of us? Because I am never illogical." She told him shaking her head gently and smiling. "Let other men know that, it's something they haven't quite figured out yet." She laughed seeing his wink. She popped her neck by turning it from side to side and popped her back on the back of the chair. She hummed softly and raised an eyebrow hearing his question, "What?" She asked him tilting her head to the side. "That would mean no gym though." She told him pouting a little knowing for a fact that she would miss her gym and all the things that came with it. She thought about it for a moment before nodding, "If that's what you want, I will give it a shot." She told him lacing their fingers when he took her hand into his own and raised another eyebrow hearing him. "What does it look like?" She asked shaking her head and not liking the sound of this so much. Hearing him, she laughed and kissed him back running her hands through his hair before sitting back in her chair glancing around knowing some people in the diner knew who they were, but were too nice or embarrassed to come up to them. She liked it that way.

"Too fond of each other? How do you mean?" She asked confused at this wording and shrugged hearing him, "I can cook -- it'll be okay." She smiled. Hearing him talking about his brother and his sister she laughed before her face hardened, "My sister is under any circumstances invited. She made her bed, now she gets to lie in it and my parents can get over it." She told him knowing for a fact that they would try and argue. "If they want to be in my house, she isn't allowed." She murmured knowing she broke her own heart saying those words. "What's your sister's name again? It's been so many years since I've heard it." She told him apologetically. She didn't talk about her family for a reason. "I know my family is awful, but it's okay. " She smiled at him and began to eat her food, letting go of his hand to do so.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Thomas grinned slightly in response and licked his lips. "Only for you babe." He said calmly. Thomas chuckled at the cracking of her joints. "Heard that gives you arthritis." He teased, Thomas enjoyed how calm this was. The two could read each other like a book, it scared him sometimes. As he ate he would look at other couples, and try to see if they looked like a normal couple. But of course in a thousand dollar dress and equally expensive suit, he knew they didnt. It made him chuckle, he kept eating. "Oh sorry, I meant aren't very fond, I don't think they dislike each other,just find the others odd, I guess. I mrsn our parents are polar opposites." He said, Thomas looked across and out his hand on her knee as she begun to talk about her sister. "I won't interfere with that, I understand babe. I'll stand up for you I feel need though, I am sure you understand that." He said and gave her a soft, sad look. Thomas knew how much Alyssa loved her sister, but her sister had fucked up, and he knew she needed to do this for herself. "Jayme. She's 18." He nodded and ran a hand through his hair as he finished his food. "Dessert babe?" He asked before grabbing his Wallet. "Well, I'm your family now, I don't think I'm too shabby, most of the time anyways." He winked.

Thomas looked over the dessert menu, pointing out s couples sundae. It had a lava cake brownie, vanilla ice cream, caramel on top, and any topping otherwise. "Babe wanna split this? It looks good, and it's only half the calories if we share." He said and licked his lips playfully as he gave her puppy eyes. "I think it would be nice to not worry about people for a while. Vacation is nice but it isn't normal. That's normal. And I haven't had normal since I became an actor at twelve, it's all been the bets of the best and I just wanna know what it's like again." He said with a sigh. "Don't just ask the director tomorrow, I can't even describe it. It's like grandma lingerie, with like, bdsm."

@ BadStreetBoys
Alyssa laughed hearing him and smiled gently before running another hand throughout her hair and waved him off and said, "If that's the only thing I need to worry about later in life, then i'll take it." She laughed smiling "It's not like my back doesn't already hurt anyways. Might as well fuck it up some more." She giggled shaking her head. She hated these clothes some days. She liked cute little rompers and some shorts and a tank top, but no she had to a wear a dress that cost like twice her parent's salary to be able to go on a talk show. She found it incredibly irritating. She heard him and nodded "I gotcha. Yeah no, I'm pretty sure your parents think mine are odd. I know for a fact my parents hate yours. They're assholes though." She told him shrugging. "Just a fact of life. " She smiled gently and felt his hand on her knee and nodded hearing him. "Thank you." She murmured to himself. She couldn't always be there to rescue her baby sister and she couldn't always send her to rehab just have her come back addicted to something else. Her sister needed to realize how bad it was for her and how bad mentally it was to put Alyssa through that. She smiled, "I know her age, I just forgot her name to be honest. YOu know I'm not good at names." She told him. She nodded, "Alright." She told him. "Nah, you're not too bad." She teased a small light in her eyes as she laughed.

Alyssa looked at the menu with Thomas and got up going over to sit beside him so she could read the menu. "We're sharing it so, might as well be beside each other." She kissed his cheek. "Sure." She told him and laughed seeing his eyes and said, "Fine, but I better be able to at least do my swimming." She told him and shrugged, "I personally get tired of this lifestyle. Granted, it's amazing not having to worry about finances. " She told him and wrinkled her nose hearing him and whispered to herself, "Grandma lingerie?"

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Thomas wrapped his arm around Alyssa when she sat next to him, pulling her close to his side and just held her. After she kissed his cheek, he turned his head and kissed her temple. "You know, this little get up, minus the expensive clothing, makes me feel like a teenager on a date, I mean look at it. A small, cheap diner, sharing a sweet dessert, sharing a seat, and exchanging sweet kisses that aren't at all devious." He said an slagged slightly, running his hand up her side. "It's amazing, I'm just glad at the end of this date, I get to take you home." He winked. When their waitress returned her ordered the dessert for them, grinning widely up at her. He noticed that she had a different demeanor than a moment ago, but ignored it. "What about a pond or something? Does that count as swimming?" He pondered her. "I'll start looking, you just keep looking good." He flirted, kissing her neck sneakily before leaning back in the seat, keeping his hand on her waist. "I know. That's what I enjoy, I enjoy doing what I love and not worrying about money and being able to help others with it. But fame sucks sometimes. Constantly barged wit questions and autographs and people making up rumors about us and always needing to look nice. Maybe I just wanna wear a wife beater out one day. Although that Weasley looking reporter would have a field day with that." He mumbled bitterly. He giggled when she repeated his words. "Yes, its gross. I to,d them I didn't like it and the director basically said to fuck off, not fond of that but whatever."

The waitress appeared with their dessert and his eyes lit up, he was a kid with ice cream at the moment. "Babe it looks so good!" Thomas exclaimed. He grabbed one fork and took a bite onto the fork before pausing. He held it out to her mouth. "You first, my queen." He smiled and rubbed her side. "A king I swear nothing without his queen." He allowed Alyssa to take the bite before taking another on his own. Nodding in approval. "Delicious, I love this classic shit, this is stuff my parents like." He commented and looked down at her. The waitress brought over their check and he glanced up again, noticing the demeanor again. "Do you think it's cause she knows who we are?" He whispered to Alyssa. "What's a good tip? Like three hundred?"

@ BadStreetBoys
Alyssa smiled softly feeling him do so and laid her head on his shoulder humming slightly, "I never got to date as a teenager." She told him laughing. "My parents always said that I had to get successful first." She rolled her eyes when she said the wrods adn laughed hearing him, "Not at all." She agreed giving him a looking feeling his hand on her side and laughed shaking her head and saw his wink and after all this still blushed shaking her head and taking a sip of her water. "You're so impossible." She told him biting her lip gently. "Just somewhere, where I won't get a disease." She laughed. "I don't care if it's a pond." She smiled at him before giggling feeling him kiss her neck and smacking at his chest shaking her head, "Take no mind that we're in public." She told him poking his cheek smiling. "What's the next charity event? Or rather, when?" She asked him knowing for a fact that she wanted to be apart of it. She wanted to go to Africa soon, as well." She smiled and shook her head, "He really does look like Weasel." She wrinkled her nose, "He's constantly just on my ass. Figuratively and literally. She muttered. She raised an eyebrow, "Well, I get the final fucking say. I'm not going to wear something that just isn't going to look good." She groaned.

Alyssa smiled laughing as his eyes lit up. "May be, just may be i'll let you keep icecream in the house from now on." She told him and blinked when he fed her first and smiled taking the bite and smiled swallowing, "It's really good." She told him and smiled seeing him so relaxed and happy and chuckled before looked up at the waitress giving a kind smile. "Probably, and good lord. Usually waitresses make very little. The biggest tip I ever got as a waitress was 30 bucks and that cuz some perverted old man liked me." She laughed. "I'm sure it will make her day, besides I see her keep going to take care of a small child over there, so I say three hundred is good."

@ JesterOfGenocide;
"Your parents are insane. And I swear if they try to run our wedding I am throwing hands. This is ours, we will make the decision she on the guest lists, the colors, and the venu. They can bite me." He said a bit bitterly. "Same with my parents but mine aren't your kinda crazy." He murmured and let his head rest atop hers. Thomas didn't care if they were overboard with the PDA. People didn't know what the couple had been through, bouts of loving each other, and bouts of hating each other, they took a toll on one another. So he would be damned if during the good he didn't give this woman everything he had,and he meant everything. He'd die for her in a moment. "Public schmublic. I want everyone to know you are mine and I love you. Don't make me act like a teenager and give you a hickey to mark my territory." He teased. Thomas pulled out his phone and looked at their synced calendars. "We have one for the ASPCA in two weeks, at three after filming. Posing with shelter animals to help get them adopted, answering questions for some reason. Stuff like that." He said and nodded. "Yea I know I hate him and I swear if he touches you im going to catch an assault charge." He grumbled and pulled out his wallet. Thomas opened the booklet and placed four one hundred dollar bills, closing it and leaving it on the edge for the waitress. "Guys are pervs. I mean, our first date I was basically staring at your body the whole time. Your fault you wanted to go swimming."

When all was said and done, Thomas stood up and took Alyssa's hand as he made his way out the diner and towards their limo and driver, he opened the door before getting in the other side with her. "What's the worst drug you've done? I mean, have you done anything? Or did see your sister do stuff and know not to? We never talk about your young life, or mine for that matter, all since we became famous. I wanna know everything about you, and you know everything about me." He said and looked at her, jokingly laying his legs across her lap.

@ BadStreetBoys
Alyssa shrugged and said, "I mean, yeah they are crazy and that will be funny to see. My mom would just start screaming hysterically at you to be honest." SHe told him shrugging. "I dunno what the colors are you know what colors I like and what flowers I like." She told him. "I also told you that you were going to be planning this shit." She laughed. She smiled softly feeling his head on hers, before closing her eyes gently and just listening to everything at the moment. "Puhlease, I doubt you would go that far in public, Thomas." She told him shaking her head. "Territory huh?" She asked her eyes sparking and looking at him raising an eyebrow a small smile on her face as she asked. She looked at his phone and heard about shelter and her face lit up, "Puppies!! Can we get one?" She asked happily knowing for a fact that she loved dogs and would have her snuggle buddy for when she was sick or something. "Puppies are so cute." She whispered to herself and laughed hearing him talk about the reporter. "I think you'd get away with it, because he touched me." SHe told him shrugging. "Not like an assault charge is really that bad." She watched him do it and shook her head. "I hope she tells no one about her large tip. She deserves it." She told him. She heard him and stuck our her tongue, "You should have controlled yourself, stupid." She told him.

Alyssa stretched once she was up and walked with him back to the limo. She sat down and buckled up before looking at him hearing his words, "Does a cigarette count? She didn't get into drugs until after I wasn't at home." She told him gently. "I left to become an actress after getting a role, and she was left alone with mom and dad and she just. Couldn't deal with them. I completely understand, but I tried to help her the best I could, but she's how she is now because of it." She told him sighing. She laughed shaking her head and felt his legs on her lap.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Thomas grinned across at Alyssa, he turned around and laid his head din her lap, reaching up and taking her her hand and holding it on his chest. "The future is bright, Alyssa. I mean. We are the future isn't it great. Like, fuck babe. I never thought when I was younger I'd be the Hollywood star every man wanted to be, with the absolute hottest fiancé in Hollywood, who's fucking talented, like you ain't no Kim K. You actually work for your money. We can do whatever we please, whenever we please. I could not ask for anything else right now. Like, imagine if we had kids? Man they'd be like genetically perfect, we are gorgeous." Thomas went off on this tangent, grinning happily to himself, he didn't hide anything during his vents with Alyssa. No matter what they were on. That was the only reason she knew he had a mood problem. After a fight one night he was ranting about being pissed and why he was pissed, and when she snapped at hi for complaining he lost it and went off about his bipolar disorder and that she had been a bitch for saying he could control it. "Babe, tell me the story of your childhood." He murmured, twinkles in his eyes, smiling up at her. "We've got a half hour ride home, take it up, and let me just listen to you." He said and squeezed her hand.

Thomas knew his childhood was a very normal one, that is until a real director had worked on a school play he'd done, and suggested to his parents he should try out for commercials or television shows. They did, hoping for their son to make it big, and he did. He started landing rolls left and right, soon enough they took the money he made and moved to Hollywood so he could make it even bigger. The city made him into a teen heartthrob, and it went from There. He was still a heartthrob, he could be in any movie, and act anyway. But comedy, he hated them but he agreed now so he had to. Thomas sometimes wished his life had been normal. He had grown up playing soccer and baseball, he was a jock, but generally was Normal. The only part he would miss would be Alyssa. She made this life, the loss of childhood, worth it. That made him happy.

@ BadStreetBoys
Alyssa looked down at him feeling his head go onto her lap and smiled softly, running her fingers throughout his hair gently and laughed hearing him, "Nothing is bright anymore, but I'm glad you think sp." She smiled hearing him and shook her head giggling "Kim K shouldn't even be a public figure. We all know her ass is fake." She sighed shaking her head. She then smiled and said, "I don't think I would want kids for a few more years, to be honest." She told him and looked out the window as he explained and she smiled kissing his forehead gently. She blinked hearing his request and sighed, "Pretty generic. Grew up in the suburbs with a crazy family. My mom always wanted me to be famous, or something or another. Interview after interview and audition after audition. I wasn't allowed to hang out with friends or anything on the weekends, I was only allowed to rehearse or do swimming. I managed to convince my dad to tell my mom to let me do swimming because otherwise I told them I would fuck up the auditions. Especially if I wasn't allowed to do anything I liked. I liked acting, sure, but nothing beat just swimming in the water for me and feeling it just surround me in a peace I'd never felt in my house hold. I got blamed for everything that went wrong financially, saying my swimming was ruining our money supply, ya know not the absurd amount of cigarettes and alcohol they bought. It was pretty dreadful." She told him smiling.

Alyssa knew about his childhood, and she hated talking about herself or just about her childhood, because she hated to complain knowing for a fact many other children had it far worse than she did. At least she got the one solace of being able to swim and do that one extra currricular activity.

Thomas closed his eyes and listened to her speak. He knew she hated to talk about herself, she had never liked it, but he enjoyed hearing her talk. He didn't always like being the voice of the couple. She finished and he opened his eyes and looked up. "Well, at least one good thing came of it. Had we not both been New budding stars, we never would have been at that party or met. I don't know where I'd be without you. Nowhere near as successful as I am now." He said and sat up, kissing her deeply. "I love you so much Alyssa, I am the luckiest guy getting you to marry me, it's nuts. Like sometimes I see a post about you, or a movie poster and I'm just amazed. Like wow she's hot. And then I remember. I've literally fucked her, I'm living the dream!" He exclaimed and gave her another goofy grin. "Wanna swim when we get home? I haven't been in that pool in like a year in a half, since." He paused and frowned slightly, ignoring his own comment by kissing her again. "Fucking love you!" He giggled and leaned back into the seat. Thomas tried not to be so hyper for the rest of the ride, he didn't know why he had been. Probably because he got talking on the future of them, that excited him.

When the couple arrived, he helped Alyssa out of the car, tipped the driver, and made his way inside the mansion. He knew his bathing suit was in his sole bedroom, the one he hid his secrets away in, and hadn't slept in since the couple tried to make it work again. "I'm going to get my bathing suit, meet you at the pool." He commented and gave her weary eyes before disappearing to the room. The memories of the stress in the room scared him. He grabbed his trunks as quickly as he could, changing in the middle of the hall. It wasn't like anyone but Alyssa would see him, and nothing she hadn't seen him before. He made his way out to the pool, dark sunglasses on, and slid into the hot tub that was besides their pool. "Hey can you bring out my whiskey!" He yelled inside, deciding it was late enough to be okay to drink, he wouldn't drink much though. Water and alcohol didn't mix well.

Alyssa stared out the window, her fingers absentmindedly stroking his hair as she spoke, her voice was soft as she got lost in thought and got lost reminiscing about how she used to be. She laughed smiling hearing him and said, "You probably would be." She teased before kissing him back happily. She felt his mood switch and just smiled and laughed hearing him and said, "I love you too." She poked her grin and blinked hearing him ask that question adn said, "You know my answer already." She kissed him back happily letting it carry on for a few minutes knowing the next two and a half months were going to get hairy with the fact that he was going to be stressed and he was going to go back to that fucking hole. She "I love you too." She tokd him kissing his nose before yawning again and stretching.

Alyssa got out of the limo and sighed feeling cramped, "God I hate riding for a long period of time, it makes me feel so claustrophobic." She told him wrinkling her nose again. She nodded hearing him before going to their room and grabbing one of her many swim suits. She tied it around herself and stretched grabbing two towels. She heard him and said, "Yep." She grabbed it before setting his whiskey next to him and then set the towels down beside the pool and slipped into the hot tub next to him. Her favorite thing to do was to get into the hot tub and then dive into the cool water that was the pool. She let her legs stretch out as she did so. She watched the water and smiled. She took a sip of his whiskey before yawning and letting the warm water relax her muscles.

Two Month Later

The couple had started the filming in their comedy, Thomas had done fairly well through it all. It was clear he was stressed and agitated, it could be told from the hardness on his face or the stiffness in his body. But it could also be told by how snappy he was. Randomly he would yell at someone, snap at them, and storm off. During filming, or at home with Alyssa. Neither had reverted back to their old rooms, and he refused to, he wouldn't go back to that again. Thomas was just glad this film was almost done. The director kept trying to convince him he really was funny, as would Alyssa, but he didn't have it. During that time, Alyssa got another movie offer. A director wanted some kid to get a shot at the industry and thought a big name lead might help him. Thomas didn't care, he trusted his fiancé. Their parents were both excited about the marriage, in their own ways, though not to excited to have the other as actual family now. Another reason Thomas had been stressed was planning the wedding. He did want to make a big deal if it, and that was because he believed Alyssa deserved nothing but the best. And that's what he would give her. So far it was a huge wedding, with top list guests, their families, and that was it. He had a huge venue and guests. Thomas didn't know what else to do. There were also the tabloids. Chalking this up to be another Brittany Spears marriage or something if the sort. Thomas though that was fucking bullshit, they'd been together for nearly three and a half years at this point. In his mind they were already married, she had the ring on her finger the only difference was a piece of paper. They talked about making s family, and both knew that they wanted to wait before they had kids. It was too soon, Thomas knew he wanted them though. He hoped she wanted them too.

Thomas was quite bored as he sat on the set of Alyssa's new movie. He hated the other actor. The kid was arrogant, cocky, thought he could call the shots. Thomas didn't like it one bit. He also seemed to get too close to Alyssa. Which was why he started coming. Between takes, or scenes, before the kid could get to Alyssa. Thomas would be there, st her side, hand around her waist and just asserting she was his. "You're amazing babe, love watching you act." He said coolly. Glaring over as the kid continued over to the couple. Thomas tensed up. He was already in a bad mood, he'd refused to eat earlier, and was mad about their voicemail machine not working and had freaked out throwing it across the room, breaking it. "Get the fuck away." He said, his tone dripping with poison. He wouldn't be dealing with this kid. His arm fell from her side and both hands held tightly to the cup of coffee in his hands. The kid ignored him, thomas looked away and bit his lip, trying to ignore the kid who was obviously flirting with his fiancé right in front of him, and just getting closer. "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" He screamed and shoved the kid back. "You look like a fucking rodent, you're three feet tall why would you ever even consider flirting with my fucking wife. You aren't on our level. You never will be acting like this you piece of shit!" He scares me and threw his coffee against a wall. "I never fucking liked the idea of this shitty movie either." He said and turned his direction to Alyssa. "Were already filming why the fuck would you take on this trash." He yelled as he moved towards a group of people, ripping a script from one of them and throwing it also. "Like come in Alyssa you know you're better than this. And you haven't done a fucking damn thing about this." He paused and pointed at the kid. "Piece of shit flirting with you and trying to sleep with you for the past two months. You're my damn fiancé." Thomas was red in the face, his body hot and tense, and eh couldn't stop. "You're not even helping me with the wedding in putting everything I have into making this the perfect thing for you! Because I love you! Because I want it to be perfect for you! I could care less as long as you love it and love me." He started pacing as he yelled. And between rants let out angry grumbling. "I can't fucking believe this Alyssa. This is all bullshit and you know it!" He didn't even know what he was accusing her of, or if he was accusing her of anything, he was just pissed. He marched out of the set, throwing a trash can to the ground as he walked by it, and slamming the door. Thomas got into their limo and crossed his arms. He was panting, breathing heavily, he was pissed.
