Tonight's Agenda is very a busy day, tonight's one of the biggest and busiest days of the year. It's Wrestlemania 13 and it's my first mania, I'm excited and happy to be here and can't believe that I'm here I mean a year ago around this time I was in WCW figuring out if I wanted to stay over there but there's some days I question if I made the right choice.

I arrived at the arena still in sweatpants and hoodie, throughout the day I hanged backstage with the rest of the roster. In the catering area I played a game of spades with Brian Pillman and Jeff.

After whopping their asses in a card game I hung out with some of the ladies backstage that being Amy, Lisa and the new girl to the company. Her name is Joan, she's bigger than any other of us woman backstage but I think that's what makes her so cool plus she's a total sweetheart. The night she debuted I was a little intimidated to speak with her but Paul actually introduced us and we hit it off.

******

The Shows about to start, I walk towards the women's locker room to get changed out of these clothes, I at least want to look good on television.
The Hart's are in the hallway, I quickly speak to Owen and Davey Boy and Brett then walked into the locker room.

Tonight I decided to wear my brand new dress I bought from a Bloomingdale's the last time I was home. It's a beautiful short sleeved red dress from Ralph Lauren, and some black stiletto heels that I got from macy's months ago. got dressed and did my makeup, soft natural look with a little bit of mascara & blush and some lipgloss.

Around 8:00 Vince wanted to speak with me about my role tonight on the ppv, I guess in his eyes I'm really good at giving interviews inside the ring and outside the ring he permanently put me in this position because creativity they don't know what to do with me.

"Okay Sonya your interviewing Austin before his match with Bret, now here are the words I want you to memorize." He Hands me a paper "Do you got it?" Vince Said

I nod my head "Yeah sure thing, I got it."

"Great, I'll be watching good luck tonight." Vince Said

"Thanks." I reread everything I'm supposed to say, some wrestlers walk pass me and I say hello back.

Down the hallway I heard a familiar voice, a voice that I haven't heard in weeks since that night. I look up for a second and there he is, Shawn standing there talking to Paul and Joan. Our eyes meet for a brief moment and a million things runs through my mind, apart of me wants to walk away fast and then there's a part of me that want to slap him again due to how annoying he is, Then I feel a tap on my shoulder it's one of the producers.

"Yes." I Said

"Sonya your interview segment is up with Austin." She Says

"Oh okay." I Said

"Follow Me." She Said and I nod

I quickly follow her looking over my shoulders making sure Michaels isn't behind me, I want to stay far away from him because on my drive to the hotel after our altercation. I thought about what Amy said and how Shawn and his buddies basically got to do whatever they want backstage which made me realize that asshole can make my life backstage a living hell for me, or I could do something and just get it over and apologize to him...maybe.

"Okay Austin will be here in a second." She Said

I nod a few moments later Steve approaches me, He and I talk for a few he's a really funny guy and the first time we spoke he offered me a beer.

"You ready to do this." I Said

"Sure lets get this damn thing done." Steve Said

"All right Steve and Sonya your on..in 3..2..1." She Said

The camera man focused on Sonya, I fixed my hair a bit then adjusted my dress. I grabbed the microphone and took a huge breath in then out.

"Ladies and gentlemen I'd like to welcome my guest at this time, Stone Cold Steve Austin. Steve the only question that remains is will the number 13 be lucky or unlucky for you tonight in the submission match with Brett hart." I Said

Steve took a breath in and immediately got into character.

"You can damn well bet it's gonna be an unlucky number for Bret Hart, but let me just say this a submission match is not my kind of match. Do I know a whole lot of wrestling hold hell no I don't, but I'll beat the hell out of ya till you do say I quit, you sit there every time you get on tv and say you been screwed..well let me just tell you this son I ain't bringing a condom to the ring I'm bringing a hell of a can of whop ass." Steve Said

Steve walked off just like that, I stood there nodding and smirking a bit because damn that was a good promo this guy is good.

After my interview with Steve I hanged around backstage with the other wrestlers and women, After the main even with taker and Sid, Amy and I decided to hang out at the nearest club next to the arena.

*****

Amy and I arrive at the bar, the place is packed and there's a band playing onstage which brought a smile to my face because it reminds me of back home and how I would play in the bar. We sit down and asked the bartender for some beers.

"Two Beers please." I Said

"Coming up." She Said

She opened the fridge from down under and placed the two beers in front of us, we picked them up and clinked them both and took a swig of the beers

"Mmm I needed this." I Said

"Wow there are some hot guys up in here tonight." Amy Said

"Yeah I know what you mean, the guitarist is really cute." I Smiled

"Oh yeah then go over and ask for his number." Amy Said nudging me

"Amy no." I Said

"What Come on your just asking for his number, it's not liking your asking to marry him." Amy Said

"I know it's just—" Amy Said

"When was the last time you've been with a guy?" Amy Asked

"Amy." I Said Furrowing my brows

"No seriously when was the last time a guy just rocked your world?" Amy Said

"Rocked my world?" I Said

"Sex Sonya when was the last time?" Amy Asked

"Okay okay, um it was around maybe September or October of 95 and I was dating this guy in college his name was Braden he was good a boyfriend but we had our issues. So when I started you know wrestling around the country one night he was in my hometown and we hung out and it was really fun, of course we had one too many drinks and we hooked up and it was good." I Said Smiling

"Mhmm." Amy Said Smirking

"Yeah it felt really good too because I knew it was the last time we would ever do that, I guess it was goodbye sex and I haven't seen him since that night." I Said

"Wow that was adorable and sweet, but Sonya that was almost 2 years ago...you need to get laid man." Amy Said

"I know Amy I do but it's hard dating guys, the last time I've been on a date was around October and I saw way to many red flags and I scurried out of there." I Said

"Look I get it dating guys outside of our industry is hard, our schedules are crazy I mean we're barely home as it is. Ooh I have an idea how about you date someone from our job." Amy Said

"Oh god no." I Said

"Yes it makes sense, they understand what we go through and we can travel together...shit maybe I should take my own advice." Amy Said

"Maybe you should." I Said

"Yeah whatever." She downs her beer "Okay I'm bored so I'm gonna go find a hot dude to dance on..or do you wanna join me?" Amy Said

"Nah I'll just stay here." I Said

"Suit yourself." Amy Said

Amy walked to the dance floor and began dancing to the music that's being played, She meets some guy and they dance together. I turn around and take a handful of peanuts that's in one of the basket and started eating them, I swallow the last one and grabbed the attention of the bartender.

"Another beer please, thank you." I Said

"You sure you wanna be drinking, since you do have to drive an hour to the hotel that we're all staying at."

I tilt my head and looks to see who's next to me and of course he's here, Those blue eyes staring right at me with his dumb smile.

"Hey Sonya." Shawn Said

"Hi Shawn." I Said

"Hey Sweetheart can I have one beer thanks." Shawn Said

The bartender grabs Shawn a beer and places it in front of him, I start fiddling with the peanut shell in my hand as he looks at me while drinking.

"So how was it?" Shawn Asks

I Tilt my head at him "How was what." I Said

"You know being at your first wrestlemania?, we're you excited or nervous." Shawn Said

"Both actually." I Said

"Yeah I remember my first wrestlemania, it was Marty and I against the Big Boss man and Akeem great match and even though we lost we still went out and celebrated." Shawn Said

"Mhmm." I Said

He takes another sip of his beer "Well aren't you gonna ask me?" I look at him confused again "My smile aren't you gonna ask"

"No." I Said

"Really?" I Nod "Why aren't you a little curious?" Shawn Asked

"Oh I am curious believe me but that's none of my business remember, I have my thoughts about your little situation I do." I Said Smirking

"Oh yeah and what are they?" Shawn Asked

"My thoughts my business." I Said taking another sip of beer

"Okay I see, by the way thanks for sending me home with a handprint I really appreciated it." Shawn Said

I sighed "Listen Sh—"

"Nah it's okay I'm not mad." Shawn Said

My eyes widen a little bit and he smiles at me.

"What why?" I Asked

"Because I can admit when I'm being a dick to someone who was just being nice...that was you trying to be nice to me right?" Shawn Said

I shrugs my shoulders "Yeah I guess."

"Okay then there's no need to apologize, I deserved it he'll even Paul and Joan laughed at me." Shawn Said

"Oh you met Joan, isn't she cool?" I Asked

"Yeah Paul and I are the one's who scouted her out, a woman her size would be great in this business trust me." Shawn Said

"Nice call then Michaels." I Said

"I know." Shawn Said

"So Michael's how's the leg when are you going to wrestle again?" I Asked

"Why you miss having me around backstage?" He Smiled at me and I shook my head "The leg is fine for now, I'll be back in the ring soon and back again to bother you." Shawn Said

"Oh goodie can't wait for that." I Said

He chuckled a bit and continued drinking his beer, I finished mines and payed the bartender for the drinks Amy and I had. Amy walks over laughing and hugs me.

"What's so funny?" I Asked

"Oh the guy I was just dancing with, he said some stupid joke that's all.."She looks over my shoulder and sees Shawn "Michaels so good to see you." Amy Said

"Amy always a pleasure." Shawn Said

"Where's your buddy Paul and your new friend?" Amy Asked

"Their somewhere in this place don't worry I'll find them." Shawn Said

"I bet, Hey you ready it's 12." Amy Said

"Yeah." I put on my coat, Shawn stands up

"I'm about to get out of here as well, got to show up to raw tomorrow." Shawn Said

"Your on the show tomorrow." I Said

"Yup don't worry I'll stop by and say hello to you."He pulls back a loose strand of my hair and tucks it behind my ear "like I always do." Shawn Said

"You I try to avoid you backstage." I Said

"And yet you always run into me, well it was nice chatting with you but I gotta find Paul so we can leave I'm tired." Shawn Said

"From what you didn't do anything tonight" Amy Said

"Oh I did something tonight and it indeed was physical, there's Paul and Joan excuse me ladies." He walks away

Amy and I looks at each other we scoff and laugh at his comment then walked out the bar, I searched my bag for the keys to my car. We both got in and drunk half a bottle of water to hydrate myself before I drive.

"You sober enough to drive Sonya?" Amy Asked

"Yeah it takes four beers for me to get drunk so yeah I'm fine, hopefully we get to that hotel before 3 am because I need at least four hours of sleep." I Said

"I'm way ahead of you, wake me up when we're there." Amy Said

She leaned the seat back and shuttled her eyes quickly drifting off to sleep, I pull off from the bar and began driving down the road.

"Since your asleep I'm gonna listen to something to keep my up." I Said

I turned on the radio and flipped through a couple of stations before landing on one. The song that was playing was "Man In The Mirror" By Michael Jackson I slowly turned it down a bit so Amy wouldn't wake, I bobbed my head along to the beat and quietly sang along.
