*Alexa's POV*

Since our date last Saturday night Norman and I have been spending more and more time together. This weekend was the weekend that Mingus was set to come down so I wasn't sure how much time we'd get to spend with each other while he was here but I understood. His son comes first before the girl that was he was hanging out with since we really hadn't had the whole 'are we a couple or not' conversation yet but I think it was nearly time for it.

I wasn't expecting to hear from him until Sunday night when Mingus flew back to New York so when my phone went off I jumped and grabbed for it. I woke up the screen and saw Norman's name.

N- me and ming are out in the parking lot get dressed and come down

A- i'll need a little time so you guys should come up here

N- be up in a few

I locked my phone and started to put my paci and stuffed plushie Daryl away before digging clothes out. It was a warm day here so I pulled out a pair of capris and a tank top that I discovered was my Motörhead tank top, Norm would enjoy that. I got socks out and sat them beside my blue converses.

After a few minutes I heard a strong knock on my door so I rushed over to answer it. I opened the door to just Norman.

"Come in, where's Mingus?" I asked.

"He's out in my truck. I wanted us to talk first." Norman replied as I closed the door.

"About what?" I questioned.

"Us. If you're gonna meet Mingus then you have to know that this is a serious thing. I don't want somebody to come into his life just to walk out. I need to know that you're in this for the long haul." He told me.

"I was just thinking about when we should be having this conversation just a little while ago. I'm honestly in it for the long game. I have no plans to just walk out of your or Mingus' life once I meet the kid. I mean I know he's not a kid, he's 16 years old but whatever." I replied.

"Are you sure? I don't want to pressure you into saying anything you don't want to." He told me with his hands on my face.

"Norman, I've never been more sure of anything. We'll just keep us under wraps for a bit then once we get to the right time we'll let the world know." I replied looking right into his eyes.

"Sounds like a good plan to me. We'll start small, Mingus first since he'll ask as soon as we get in the truck then we'll have to tell everyone on set or at least producers and directors." He listed off.

"Then the big one, family and friends." I replied.

"Fans too." Norm added.

"Well I think we're already getting shipped both on the show and in real life so I don't think the fans will be a problem." I laughed.

"I guess you're right, but what about our family and friends? There's a clear age gap remember, how would they take it?" Norm replied.

"There's 12 years between my mom and dad so I don't think they'll have a problem with a 23 year gap between us." I told him.

He got quiet and started fiddling with his shirt hem, I smiled and put my hand on his cheek making him look at me, "They'll love you as long as you treat me right which I'm absolutely positive you will."

"You're right, I'll never mistreat you in anyway. Now you get dressed, I told Ming I wouldn't be up here long." He smirked with a light tap on my butt.

I turned around to face the bed before I pulled off my pjs. I pulled on my shorts and buttoned them. I picked up my tank top and pulled it over my head. I fluffed out my hair before turning around and sitting on the bed to put my socks and shoes on. Once Norman caught sight of my shirt he laughed.

"What?" I asked.

"We match today." He told me pointing to his own shirt.

It was a gray faded Motörhead shirt with the same design as my tank top.

"Yeah, we do but it was bound to happen since they really only have one design for the merch." I told him as I pulled my socks on.

"True." He nodded.

I got my converses tied before I went into the bathroom. I brushed my hair out then up into a high ponytail before digging out my under used Naked palette and eyeliner. I did quick eye makeup before pulling out my Kat Von D everlasting liquid lipstick in one of my favorite shades Mother. I applied it to my lips careful to not go outside the lines of my lips before finishing everything up with mascara and my powder foundation just to keep my face from getting shiny throughout the day. I put everything back in my make up bag and walked out of the bathroom.

"Took you long enough." Norman said once he saw me.

"I'm sorry, but I'm ready now. I just have to get my wallet and phone." I replied.

"Get them and let's go." Norm told me getting to his feet.

I got my phone off the bed and slipped it into my back pocket before taking my simple black wallet from my purse. I stashed my room key in it before following Norman out of my room and down the hallway to the elevator. He pressed the button before wrapping an arm around my waist. I smiled slightly and slipped a hand into his back pocket giving his butt a tiny squeeze. He chuckled and did the same thing to me as the doors opened. We got in the elevator car and Norm pressed the lobby button.

"So do you think Mingus will like me?" I asked.

"So far, yeah I think he will." Norm replied.

I stayed silent as we went down the five floors to the lobby and followed Norm as he walked through the lobby and out the front doors. I always half expected fans to be lined up outside the door but there never was any since I'm sure the hotel makes them go away if they gather up. Norm lead us over to his truck and I stopped dead in my tracks.
