Later on that day I returned back home to the apartment, got dressed and chatted a few with Ryland.

"So you said you were coming home last night, and you didn't so where'd you go?" Ryland Asked

"Um...I stayed over at Shawn's." Ryland's eyes widen "No not for that reason nothing happened." I Said

"So what you just slept in his bed and you guys just went to sleep." Ryland Said

"No because I didn't sleep in his bed, he was really wasted last night so me being the good friend I am. I stayed over to help him and watch over him." I Said

"Aw how sweet of you, Anyways Mom and Dad asked if your coming to dinner tonight?" Ryland Asked

"Why what's the occasion?" I Asked

"Nothing she just wants to have dinner with all her kids, so coming or what?" Ryland Said

"Sure why not I miss Ma's mashed potatoes, plus I haven't seen dumb and dumber in a while." I Said

"Okay I'm gonna go take a quick shower." The doorbell rings, She and both turn our heads "You answer that." Ryland Said

I walked over to the door and answered it, there he was leaning on the door frame wearing his Gucci sunglasses.

"Hi Shawn." I Said

"Just the girl I wanted to see, you left your uh bra at my house so here." Shawn Said

He hands over my black Victoria secret lace bra, I over heard Ryland snort and laughed a little.

"Thank you for driving all the way over here to give me my favorite bra back." I Said

"No problem so what's the Sawyer girls up to this evening?" Shawn Asked

"Nothing much just heading over to my parents for dinner that's all." I Said

"Dinner why didn't you say so." Shawn Said

"Huh?" I Said

"So when are we leaving?" Shawn Asked

"Whoa Whoa" I put my hand on his chest stopping him right in his tracks "You think your coming." I Said

"Come on you know I'm always down for a home cook meal, plus I get to finally meet your family." Shawn Said

"I thinI that's a great Idea, Shawn your more than welcome to join us at dinner." Ryland Said as I shot her a look

"Nice..now where's your bathroom, I gotta take a leak." Shawn Said

"It's this way, third door to your left." Ryland Said

Shawn entered the apartment and walked passed me heading towards the bathroom, I closed the door and looked at Ryland who's grinning.

"What are you doing?" I Asked

"What does it look like I'm doing, I'm just inviting a friend to dinner." Ryland Said

"..Ry." I Said

"I don't see what the big picture is Sonya, he's not your boyfriend...unless you want him to be." Ryland Said

"Pfft No..." I Said

"Sonya I'm your sister and even I can tell when your lying, you like him don't you..I knew it!" Ryland Said raising her voice a bit

"Shut up your loud, and I don't like Michael's." I Said

Ryland crossed her arms, rising a brow looking at my not buying into my bullshit.

"Sure you don't." Ryland Said

We hear the toilet flush and the door open, Shawn walks down the small hallway of apartment back into the kitchen/ living room area wiping his wet hands on his jeans.

"Hey." We said in unison

"Hey do you have any paper towels, so I could dry my hands?" Shawn Asked

"Yeah here." I grabbed the roll off the table and handed it to him, he took a sheet off then wiped his hands

"Thanks." Shawn Said

"So Shawn I have to go get ready, it won't take long." Ryland Said

"Oh no go ahead no rush, I'll stay out here with your sister." Shawn Said

Ryland nodded and slowly walked away, Shawn went to go sit on the couch and I joined him. I looked over my shoulder and saw Ryland making a heart shape with her hands, then I flipped her off and she left us alone. A few hours later we arrived at my parents house, Shawn parked his car and all three of us got out and walked up the steps onto the porch, Ryland knocked on the door and the door swung open, It was Mom.

"There you guys are, your dad and I have been cooking since two.." She looked behind my shoulder and saw Shawn. "..Well who's your friend with the glasses on?" Laurie Said

"Mom meet another friend of mine, Shawn meet my mother Laurie Sawyer." I Said

"Shawn Michaels as in Mr.Heart Break Kid?!" Laurie Said

"Guilty as charged, Nice to meet you." Shawn Said

"Oh my it's such an honor to meet you, my husband and I try to watch as much wrestling on Mondays but we got work, I'm a fan of your work." Laurie Said

"Thank you Ms.Sawyer." Shawn Said

"Oh please call me Laurie, come on in it's a bit chilly come on." Laurie Said

She opened the front door wider as we all entered the house, Mom took Shawn's coat and put it in the hallway closet where we the guest can put their stuff.
Dad walked out from the kitchen and greeted everyone.

"Hey girls." Jack Said then Ryland and I hugged him

"Jack look who Sonya and Ryland brought over." Laurie Said

"Oh Shit your Shawn Michaels, Jack Sawyer." He extended his hand out for a shake, which Shawn shook "..Nice to meet you son."

"Nice to meet you too Jack." Shawn said

"So what brings your over to chateau Sawyer Shawn?" Laurie Asks

"Oh you know I just thought it's about time I met Sonya's lovely family, I mean she's met mine..why not right." Shawn Said

"Right I mean all of Sonya's friends are welcome, we haven't seen Amy in a while we miss her." Laurie Said

"You know mom she's busy and she misses you guys as well." I Said

The door opens and it's Dylan and Cade along with Wendy enters the house with beers.

"Hey we're back with some grub, hey sis." Cade Said

"Hey." I hugged both my brothers and Wendy

"Yo No way is that—" Dylan Said

"It's Shawn Michaels." Cade Said

Shawn smiled and waved awkwardly "..Hello There."

Dylan and Cade tried to remain calm, because I know parts of them wants to scream like girls after being starts tuck of seeing their favorite celebrities.

"We're big fans." Dylan Said

"Big fans, been loving you since your rockers days with Marty." Cade Said

"Oh yeah thanks." Shawn Said

"Okay everyone you all can sit at the table, I'm ready to serve the food." Laurie Said

"Great cause I'm starving." Shawn Said

"Follow me." Jack Said

All the boys went into the dining room area Ryland and Wendy following behind them, I took off my jacket and my gave me a quick smile which made me confused.

"What?" I Said

"He's cute and tall, and very very handsome." Laurie Said

"Come on Ma." I Said

"What I'm just saying what's true, that right there is a handsome man you sure you guys are just friends." Laurie Said

"Yes Mom just friends...that's all." I Said

"Such a shame, you better get him quick a guy like that ain't gonna be available for too long." Laurie Said

Mom walked into the kitchen, I stood there and thought deeply about what she said. She's right I mean Shawn's a very attractive man, and my feelings for him grows the more and more I hang out with him. And him being here with my family honestly made me happy, during dinner Dad, Dylan and Cade would constantly ask him about the wrestling business.

I would try to change the subject but Shawn didn't mind instead he would just ramble on with everyone. After Dinner everyone I'm sitting on the backyard porch looking up at the stars, I felt someone's hand on my shoulder and I look up to see Shawn sat right next to me.

"Hey you kinda disappeared on us, you okay?" Shawn Asked

"Yeah I'm totally fine it's just when my mom starts showing off childhood pictures I kinda get embarrassed a little." I Said

"Why she's just being a mom." Shawn Said

"I know but one thing about my mom she sometimes over shares, like this one time I brought home first boyfriend and she showed him a baby picture of me..but I was naked." I Said and Shawn laughs

"Don't be mad but she showed me the picture your embarrassed about." Shawn Said

"I'm gonna kill her." I chuckled

"Now you know how I felt when we visited my parents." Shawn Said

"Oh please your parents weren't that bad, Anyways you ready for Sunday..how are you feeling about that Hell In A Cell match?" I Said

"Honestly I'm excited and nervous at the same time, I mean Mark and I have great matches together but this is a whole new type of match we've both never been in anything can happen." Shawn Said

"Yeah for all I know you could fall off the cage." I Said

"I'm not gonna fall cage Sonya, I promise I'll be safe out there." Shawn Said

"You better." I Said patting his knee

"Come on let's head back inside." Shawn stood up and held his hand out, I looked at it for a second then took his hand. I stood up and we walked back inside joining everyone as Ma continued rambling on about childhood memories of me.

*****

I'm in the backstage area pacing around patiently awaiting for the main event to start, I feel arms wrap around my waist which startle me. As I turn to see who it was a smile creeps up on my face.

"Amy!" I Said hugging her tightly

"Hey there stranger haven't seen you in a while." Amy Said

"I know I've been busy, traveling with Shawn you know." I Said

"Ah yes Shawn hows that going, being with them and all?" Amy Asked

"It's been nice, partying traveling...it's like being on the road with a rock star almost." I smiled

"Mhmm I heard from a little birdie that Shawn came over to your house, ate your mom's delicious dinner..I thought that I was your parents favorite." Amy Said crossing her arms

"Yes your still my parents favorite unadoptive child, but yeah he came over and it was great practically everyone loves him." I Said

"Like you do." Amy Said

Damn it I'm screwed, can't lie now.

"What—" I Said

"Your sister told me." Amy Said

"Amy listen." I Said

"I knew it I said you would eventually fall for him." Amy Said

"I'm sorry it's not like I wanted this too happen, it just—" I Said

"Did.." Amy Said

"Yeah...besides he doesn't know, and I think I'm gonna keep it that way." I Said

"Why?" Amy Asked

"Because look who he is, a guy like Shawn probably doesn't even want a serious relationship with anyone let alone me." I Said

"How would you know have you asked him?" Amy Said

"...No." I Said

"Than what's stopping you from telling the guy?" Amy Asked

"Fear of rejection...or he's still stuck up on Sunny." I Said and Amy sighed

"Oh there still having their little secret affair that's not really a secret." I nod "..Look Sonya we're all scared of rejection no matter how many people tell your their not, but its always a good thing to know that you tried...I say if you really guy who knows he might even like you back, I mean for crying out loud you guys ooze chemistry on and off screen." Amy Said

"Yeah I guess." I Said

"Look I'm not saying tell him right before his big match but you should tell him sooner rather than later." Amy Said

Even though I want to tell him, hell there's been countless times I wanted to tell Shawn how I really felt but my overthinking gets in the way all the damn time.

"I know Amy I do, I hear you I really do...I will soon." I Said

"Look all I want for you is to be happy, hell your like my best friend if your happy I'm happy." Amy Said

"Thanks Amy." I hug her and looked at my watch "Oops look at the time, main event time." I Said

"Go out there and be the sexiest heel I've ever seen." Amy Said then patted me on the but

"Keep doing that you'll get lucky." I winked at her before leaving

I met up with Shawn, Paul, Joanie and Richard in gorilla, Shawn wanted all of us to walk out him towards the ring and we did as followed. Once I went through those curtains I got into character, Joanie and I walked side by side as the two Idiots walked in front.

Shawn got in the ring and we all did as well, he handed me his European title and proceeded to do his signature pose as the pyro went off behind us.
The referee told us it's time to exit the ring, Paul, Richard and Joanie left the ring as I have Shawn a kiss on the cheek to wish him good luck.

"Be careful okay." I Said

"I'm always careful." Shawn Said

I climbed through the ring ropes and walked down the steel steps, walked over to where the rest of them are and watched the undertaker make his entrance.
We walked to the back and watched from the small tv monitors, for the next twenty minutes Shawn and Mark tore each other apart, hitting each other with their greatest move sets but still neither one of them would quit.

Shawn has now escaped the cell and tries to make a run for it but Mark stops him, he then knees Mark in the gut and runs toward the cell wall. Shawn decided to climb up, my heart immediately started racing, Mark follows him up there and they continue to fight. Joanie see's that I'm starting to get nervous, she gives my hand a reassuring smile which calmed my nerves just a bit.

But just as they went down my nerves shot back up again, Mark delivers a back body drop to Shawn and he lands on his back and some of his blood drips onto the ring. He continued to toss Shawn around on top of the ring, I feared that one of them might fall thorough because that would be a really rough landing.

Mark punched Shawn in the face and it sends him near the edge of the cell, He's now hanging onto the cell with his finger tips. Mark tried to lift Shawn up as he tried to climb down, but it was too late and Shawn's fingers slipped and he fell off the cell landing hard on the announce table. My eyes widen in shock, A part of me wanted to run out there and check on him to see if he's alright but I didn't want upset Vince so for the next couple of minutes we all watched Shawn get tossed around so more by Mark.

Towards the end of the match the both of them are back inside the ring, Mark has a steel chair in his hand as Shawn is layed out from the ass beating he just took. The lights go out in the arena and tonight was the debut of "Kane" who has been teased for weeks, He delivered a choke slam to Mark and left the ring. Shawn took this opportunity to cover him and he won the match.

I walked out first as Joanie and Paul were behind me, entered the giant cell and into the ring. I turned Shawn onto his back and saw his face which was completely covered in blood, he reminded of Carrie white in the infamous prom scene. I moved some of the hair out his face and looked at him.

"Are you okay?" I Asked helping him up

Shawn who could barely stand on his two feet put his arm over my shoulder "...Sure never better"

"You promised you'd be careful." I Said

"I know Sonya, but hey at least I'm not dead huh." Shawn chuckled then clutched his stomach

"Yeah..right, come on Hickenbottom." I Smiled helping him out the ring

"Lead the way Sawyer." Shawn Said

All of us left the cage and stopped at the top ramp, Joanie and Paul raised Shawn's hands in the air as he celebrates his victory as I stood next to them holding his European title, He leaned over and hugged me getting some blood on my face. Joanie and Paul laughed as I tried getting him off me.
