Now It's been almost a month that I've been back in the company, and it's been non stop work work work. And you would think the load is too much for me, but I've been handling it okay so far.

But whenever I'm not too busy, I spend most of my time in L.A with David. But currently I'm working, tonight's raw is being taped at the at the San Diego Sports Arena.

Tonight I'm working a match with Jaqueline who I don't mind working with, Vince told us tonight that she and I were having a hardcore match which I think is a cool idea and can't wait for it.

Since we've been feuding for the last few weeks, Jacqueline and I we're happy to be given this opportunity to showcase ourselves, even though
this is my first hardcore match.

But the show doesn't start for another few hours, as I'm backstage finishing up in catering with Amy I headed back to the locker, to fix myself up before my photo shoot for the Raw Magazine.

Minutes later I'm escorted to the room where the photo shoot is being held, and I see Sable and Debra who was touching up their makeup and said hello to them. Then Joan entered and a smile comes across when I see her.

"Sony." She smiled, "Hey my love." Joan Said, approaching me.

"Hey Joanie." I replied, as we gave each other big hugs.

"Hey guys," She nodded to Sable and Debra who said hello back.

Soon the photographer came in, he approached us girls.

"Afternoon ladies, well don't you all look beautiful." We all chuckled at that, he clapped his hands, "Now are you guys ready for the shoot or what?"

"Yeah, I mean it did take me 30 minutes to look like this." Sable Said, gesturing to her outfit.

"Okay then let's don't waist time, so I want Chyna and Sonya in the middle with Sable on the left and Debra on the right." He Said

All four of us nodded then started to pose, as he started taking pictures. After a fun photo shoot, Joan and I sat down on some crates, to catch up.

"Before I head off to go back with Paul, I want to catch up with you. What's up with you?" Joan Asked, taking out a stick of gum, then handing me one.

"Thanks. Well, you know since being back Vince has me everywhere, Raw and the house shows." I Said

"Mhm, is it too much though?" Joan Asked

"No. It's nothing I can't handle, it's just it's so weird I haven't really been on my own in a long time so it's just getting used to." I replied, shrugging.

"It's okay to admit that you miss me." Joan smirked, as I laughed.

"I do, I do miss you," I admitted, as we laughed, "But so far life's been treating me well, I'm just happy to be back at work. And I'm dating a really cool guy." I Said

"That's right, your dating a famous musician. I never would've pictured you dating a musician." Joan joked

"Actually he's the guitarist of the band, interesting fact the guitar is one of my favorite instruments." I Said, smirking.

"Seriously how is the guy, I know I've only met him at the last PPV. David seems nice after we all hung out with him, and from what I've seen makes you really happy, so he has my approval." Joan nodded

"Well I'm glad you and the guys like him, I'm not going to lie I thought you guys were going not like him." I mentioned, as Joan furrowed her brows.

"Why wouldn't we like him, sure he's not..you know who. But that doesn't matter, if you say he's cool than we like him." Joan Said

"Well good, glad that's no problem." I Said

"Now speaking of you know who, now that he's back at work...how do you feel about it?" Joan Questioned

"My god Joan, you can say Shawn's name around me. He's not Voldemort." She laughed, looking at me confused, "He's a character from the Harry Potter series eh never mind, but to answer your question
I feel fine." I Simply Said

"Really?" Joan raised a brow

"Yes, look I'm okay I promise. Besides, I'm a professional whenever he's around." I Said

"Look at you being all mature." Joan Said

"I can be when I want too." I Said, then looked at
my watch, "Almost show time."

"What time is it?" Joan Asked

"6:15 PM." I answered, "Come on, let's go get ready."

"Eh can we just stay here and do nothing." Joan groaned, as she laid back on the crate.

"I wish I could too, but then we'll probably get fired. Now come on Joanie." I Said, lending my hand out.

Joan took my hand and I pulled her heavy ass off the crate, then we walked down the hallway hand in hand towards the locker room area.

Before the show started Vince, Jaqueline and I went over some important stuff that will happen during the match, such as the hardcore spots.

We were now a couple minutes into the show, before the match I had to do a pre match interview with Michael Cole.

"Ladies and gentlemen please welcome my guest at this time, Sonya Sawyer." Michael Said

I walked into frame and approached Michael, as he's holding the microphone.

"Hello Michael." I greeted, with a smile.

"Sonya tonight your match with Jaqueline is next, a match you've never been in before which is a hardcore match. How are you feeling heading into this big match?" Michael Asked, as I nodded my head and sighed.

"Well Michael, I could be honest or lie but I'm going to take the honest route and tell you that yeah I'm a little nervous heading into this match. But I'm also ready for it, because since I've been back Jaqueline has been a little pain in my ass and I'm ready to be done with this and with her," I looked straight into the camera, grabbing onto the mic, "So listen to me clearly Jackie, I hope you're ready bitch because after this you're going to wish you never messed
with me."

I let go of the mic and walked towards gorilla, my music hit the PA system as I walked through the curtains to make my ring entrance. I stood at the top of the ramp, and sulked in all the cheers the crowd was giving me.

Then all of a sudden I feel a sharp pain hitting my back, and I fall down to the ground. I looked up and could see Jacqueline holding up a trash can and continued to hit me with it.

"You wanna call me a bitch, who's the bitch now!" Jacqueline Yelled out

She grabbed me by the hair pulling me to my feet, but I got out of her grasp and slapped her hard across the face. Jacqueline stumbled back a little, then I laid some punches across from her as we fought down the ramp way.

"Ladies you gotta get in the ring come on!" The referee called out

Jacqueline pulled away from me, shoving me back and went to go clothesline me but I ducked out the way quickly, using my leg to sweep hers as she landed face first on the mag.

I quickly got up and picked Jaqueline up, putting her back into the ring. I got in then rolled out, lifting the ring skirt pulling out another trash can, then reached for another cool item which was a steel chair.

The crowd cheered at this which mad me smirk, I climbed back into the ring and went to go hit Jaqueline with the chair but she kicked me in the gut, making me drop the chair. She started throwing several punches at me, she then grabbed my head again slamming it down on the mat repeatedly.

Jacqueline went in for the cover, the ref slammed his hand down just as he was about to reach three I kicked out. She sighed in annoyance, then propped my body up as she put me in the abdominal stretch.

She continued to stretch me out which started to hurt, but I fought my way out of it and turned around punching her hard in the face. I stepped back some quickly picking up the steel chair, then proceeded to smack it across her back.

The crowd popped at that and she fell down, I quickly went for the cover only for Jacqueline to kick out at 2. As the match continued to go on, both us traded shot for shot, she set up the chair only to slam my back onto it.

I grabbed the trash can, putting it in the middle of the ring as Jacqueline was down. I lifted her up on my shoulders in the rose plant position, then slammed Jackie onto the can.

She groaned out in pain, as I went for the cover she somehow managed to kick out. I yelled in annoyance and thought to myself, Jacqueline is tough. I then moved over and climbed to the rope only for Jackie to smack me across the face with the trash can lid.

I fell of the top rope landing on the ring apron hard, she started to laugh and climbed out the ring. Jacqueline went under the ring again, only to pull out a table and this really made the crowd get riled up. I don't know what it is about wrestling fans, but they are so obsessed with table spots.

I get back to my feet and try to get the table out her hands, I punched her in the face and went to go slam her into the ring steps but she reversed it and sent me crashing into the hard metal steps. I let out a loud groan, it felt as if I just got the wind knocked out of me.

Jacqueline rushed back over to the table, picking it up and sliding it back inside the ring setting it up. Soon the referee told her to get me back inside the ring, she did as such pulling me by the hair going up the ring steps.

She then lifted me putting me on the top rope, Jackie climbed up and tossed my arm over her neck as she tried to go for a super-plex off the top rope but I stopped her, and punched her in the gut. Jacqueline gave me a nasty chop across my chest, sending me back a little.

Jackie grabbed my chin and looked me in the eyes and yelled, "Who's the bitch now Sonya!"

She went to go and punch me but I blocked it, and grabbed her arm and slapped her hard across the face. I managed to slip from off the top rope, then picked Jacqueline up off it and she tries to stop me but couldn't and I moved quickly towards the table, and managed to successfully power bomb her through the table.

After that the crowd irrupted at that, I then went for the cover and the referee slammed his hand down on the mat..1..2..3, soon the bell rung and the match was officially over.

I let out a huge sigh of relief and a smirk creeped up on my face, as the referee helped me to my feet to raise my hand.

"And the winner of this match, Sonya Sawyer!"

I looked out towards the crowd and winked over at them, then glanced down at Jacqueline who was still out on the broken table. I leaned down, pushing some of the hair out her face.

"Aw Jackie, looks like you're still the bitch." I kissed her forehead, then patted her head.

The referee told me to back away as he checked on her, I held my arms up then rolled out the ring and proceeded to walk up the ramp, before looking over my shoulder smirking at Jaqueline who was now up angrily glaring at me.

I'm currently back at home and it's been two days since the raw taping and having a great match with Jackie, but I'm not going to lie my body is definitely feeling the aftermath.

But I'm just going to fight through the soreness, because pain comes with the job. Tonight's activities are very important, tonight my mom and dad are cooking dinner. And I figured it would be a good idea for David to formal meet everyone.

As I'm busy getting ready, I heard a knock on my door turning to see David leaning against the door frame, smiling at me.

"Hey." David Said

"Hey you." I replied, as David walked over and kissed my cheek.

"So you ready for dinner?" David Asked, walking behind me as I'm sitting in front of my vanity.

"Uh yeah." I Said, breathily.

David looked at me questioningly, I stopped applying makeup and looked at him.

"What?" I Said

"I don't know why you're so nervous, just relax okay." David Simply Said

"I know I'm trying it's just," I turned to face him, "I just want my family to like you that's all."

"I'm sure they will, I mean look at me..I'm a likable guy. You liked me when you first met me right?" David Said, as I raised a brow, tilting my head.

"Uh yeah," David scoffed, "What okay I'll be honest, I thought you were annoying. Only because you were holding my keys hostage." I replied, smirking.

"Yeah but look at us now," He stood to his feet, in front of me, "You've grown to really..really like me." David Said

He leaned down and kissed me softly, a smile formed on my face as I kissed him back.

"Yeah, I do." I giggled, kissing him one more time, "I just hope tonight goes well."

"And it will, don't stress it babe. Now I'm gonna go get something to drink before we leave okay, I'll leave you to finish getting ready." David Said

"Okay." I Said

David kissed my temple then left my bedroom, five minutes later after finishing up my hair. And checking my outfit, which was a simple green t-shirt and blue jeans paired with my new black boots.

An hour later David and I arrived at my parents house, we exited the car and walked towards the house. I started fidgeting with my hands, David looked over and noticed me, then held his hand out.

"Take my hand." David Said

"Huh?" I looked up at him

"Just do it." David Said

"Okay," I took his hand, as he squeezed it.

"Now listen to me, calm down okay everything is going to be fine. Sony look at me," I turned to him,
"We're okay right?" David Asked

"Yeah." I nodded, as he tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.

"Okay, then dinner's going to be fine." David Said, as he kisses the back of my hand.

"Mhm." I Said

We then walked further towards my parents house, I rang the doorbell and the door soon opened by my Mother.

"Hey sweetie." Laurie greeted, opening her arms.

"Hey mama," I hugged her back, "Mom I would officially like you to meet someone, this is David Morning." I introduced, looking over at him.

"Hello Ms.Sawyer nice to officially meet you." David greeted, lending out his hand as my mom shook it.

"Nice to meet you to, and oh please hun you can call me Laurie." She smiled

"Okay." David Said

We looked over my mothers shoulder as my father approached the door, standing behind mom.

"Hey." Jack Said

"Hey Dad, Um Dad this is my boyfriend David, David this is my father Jack." I Said, as my dad nodding.

"Nice to meet you as well Jack." David Said, as they shook hands.

"Oh, you're the musician right?" Jack Questioned

"Yes sir." David Said

"Huh we've got an old guitar in here somewhere, if you want maybe you can play us something." Jack suggested

"Oh uh sure." David Said

"No it's okay son, I was just messing with ya." Jack Said, as we all laughed.

"Okay, come on in dinner is almost ready come on." Laurie Said, opening the door wider as me and David entered.

"You drink David?" Jack Asked

"Yeah, you got anything good?" David Questioned

"We got beer, hope you like Pale Ale." Jack Said

"That's one of my favorites." David Said

"Oh really, right this way." Jack Said, as he led him into the kitchen.

"He's cute, just like you said." Laurie Said

"Mhm, so what do you think so far?" I Asked, looking at mom.

"He seems nice, which is good..but from what you've told us he's respectful and kind to you which is all that matters." She mentioned, "And in my book, that checks green flags. But I'm just happy you brought him over to see us." Laurie Said

"Yeah, so is everyone else coming over?" I Asked

"Mhm, they should be here soon. But go on and make yourself comfortable, I've got a pot roast in the oven that I need to check on." Laurie Said, as she kissed my cheek.

"Okay, mom." I smiled, rolling my eyes.

Mom and I went into the kitchen where Dad and David were talking, soon Cade, Dylan and Ryland came over to join us for dinner and meet David as well.

Over dinner which went well, David opened up to them and told them things he's shared with me.
I couldn't help but just smile at the scene happening before me, it's crazy to think around this time last year I was in a tough situation and here I am..couldn't be more happier.
