I'm back at home in Austin, caught an early flight two days ago. Its summer and everyone knows that Texas weather in the summer is brutal, you don't even want to go outside. To beat the heat I decided to take a nice relaxing shower, an hour later I fell asleep on the couch then I was awoken to the sound of knocking on my door. I groaned then stood up to answer the door, looked up and saw him standing right in front of me.

"What do you want?" I Said

"Wow is that how you greet everyone at the door, you gotta work on your people skills." Shawn Said

He walked pass me and entered my apartment, I shrugged and closed the door behind him.

"What can I help you with today Shawn." I Said

"I was just in the neighborhood and wanted to drop by and visit my good friend Sonya." He Gently tapped my nose "...So you busy tonight?" Shawn Asked

"Uh No I was just gonna stop by at my parents house and spend some time with them why?" I Said

"Because today is my birthday." Shawn Said

"Oh Shit I'm sorry Shawn, I had a feeling something was important toady I'm sorry." I Said

"All is good the only way you can make it up to me is by coming to my house later on tonight for my party." Shawn Said

I crossed my arms and raised a brow "Your having a party?." He Nods "Who's coming?"

"Oh you know Paul, Joanie, the rest of the Kliq." Shawn Said

"Oh..so wait are there going to be other females there you know besides me and Joan?" I Asked

"Uh yeah but you know some of the guys are married so...but Paul and I invited some friends of ours and my brothers are coming as well." Shawn Said

"Oh Fun..what time does the party start exactly?" I Asked

"Um...nine ish maybe ten, we all know the party really starts after twelve so..yeah swing by over at casa de la Michael's." Shawn Smirked

"Okay fine I'll stop by..and there better be cake." I Said

"Of course there will be." Shawn Said

"Fine..since it's 6pm, I have to get dressed now so I'll see you later then birthday boy." I Said

"Later Sawyer." Shawn Said

He patted my arm then walked out my apartment, I closed the door behind him and went into my room to find a decent outfit to wear tonight. Ryland is working late tonight, so by the time I get home she'll probably be sleep. Since this is my first time hanging around the Kliq I'm a little nervous but Shawn and Paul are there so I'll seem some what comfortable.

*****

I arrived at Shawn's house and already I see many cars parked out front, took my keys out the ignition and sat there for a second. Finally got out my car and walked up the drive way, knocked on the door and stood out there for a few seconds due to the music being really loud from the inside. The door swung opened and I was met with Shawn his face lit up.

"Sonya! You Made It." Shawn Exclaimed "Come on in."

"Thanks." I Said

Shawn closed the door behind me and at first glance the house was packed surprisingly, there's some people from work here and some guys and girls from WCW that I remember. Paul and Joan walks over to me and gives me the biggest hugs which feels like they are squishing me due to how muscular they are but I don't mind.

"Sonya welcome to your first Kliq party." Paul Said

"Thank god you came, the girls here I don't know that well it's good to have a friend here with me." Joan Said and I returned a smile to her

"Of course." I Said

"All right everyone's here, Sean turn up the fucking music!" Shawn Said

Sean turned the volume up a little and the music blasted all through the place, through out the party I mingled around. Said hello to some familiar faces, did some shots with Joanie and Shawn, I know will bite me in the ass later. I was dancing to the music all by myself, felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to see Shawn.

"Come with me I got some people I want you too meet." Shawn Said

"Sure." I Said

Shawn took my hand and lead us outside in the backyard, By the bonfire there they were all three of them. Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Sean Waltman.

"Fellas there's someone I'd like you to meet, Sonya meet the guys." Shawn Said

"Hello Sonya." Kevin Said

"Hey." Sean Said

"Nice to meet you." Scott Said

"So this is the girl you be harassing on Tv." Scott Says As Shawn chuckles

"Yeah..I keep telling him to stop but he doesn't listen." I Said

"Oh come on I'm only joking around when I do that, plus the fans love it when I do that." Shawn Said

"So Sonya how does it feel being over there in the WWF since leaving WCW?" Kevin Asks

"Um..it's been cool so far, traveling to places I've never been too I'm having fun over here and I have more friends over here than I did over there." I smiled

"Shit I gotta go pee, I'll be right back...behave you three." Shawn Said Then leaves

"So Sonya...tell us what's up with you and Shawn?" Sean Asks

"What do you mean?" I Said crossing my arms over my chest

"You know are you two like together or something." Sean Said

"I mean he talks about you all the time, so we all were like we gotta meet this Sonya chick he can't stop talking about." Scott Said

"He talks about me to you guys?" I Said

"Oh Yeah." They Say in unison

"My favorite part is when you don't buy into his pick up lines." He laughs "Not Gonna lie, I love him but man he can be corny at times." Kevin Said As Scott and Sean laughs

"My favorite story is when she slapped him, he had it coming didn't he." Sean Said I Nodded

"Yeah at the time I really didn't like him but, I like him..only as a friend." I Said

"Just friends that's it?" Scott Asks

"Yes just good friends." I Said

"Well any friend of Shawn is a friend of ours." Kevin Said

They all give me a nod and I send one back smiling a bit, it was now close to twelve and Joanie, Paul and I have been playing poker for thirty minutes now,!Shawn turns down the music and everyone looks at him.

"Yo Yo all right my birthday is almost over and so is my party, so before you all go..would all do the honor and wish me a happy birthday." Shawn Said

Everyone said yeah and Kevin carried Shawn's birthday cake, he places it on the table and I lit all of his candles for him. We all began singing happy birthday to him, after we finished singing Shawn blew his candles out. Paul took some of the frosting and put some on Shawn's face.

Everyone started to laugh and then next thing you knew Shawn threw some cake on Paul, I kinda got upset because I did want to eat some cake. All Kliq members began having a cake fight, Joanie got out the way but I got hit in the face with cake by Shawn.

"Oh My—Sonya I'm sorry." Shawn laughed

"Your dead Shawn." I Said

I scooped up a handful up the birthday cake and rubbed it all over Shawn's hair, and laughed in his face. All I knew from that moment on it was an all out cake war, which continued outside in the backyard. Joanie and I was near the pool throwing some cake on Paul. I turn around only to be speared into the pool by Shawn. I swim back up for air, he and I look at each other and he did that annoying smirk and I shoved his head back down, we started play fighting in the pool then everyone else jumped in the pool to join.

After all the cake throwing everyone went home, Kevin, Scott, Sean, Paul and Joanie all stayed. I finally dried off from the pool, Shawn walks me to my car.

"That party was really something." I Said

"Yeah what a way to kick start being 32." Shawn Said

"You know for a bunch of 30 year olds, you guys sure act like your still in high school." I Said

"Hey I barely partied when I was In high school, sure I did a lot of that in my 20's but I'm still young.." Shawn Said

"No but seriously I did have fun, your friends their something else. Don't know if I can keep up with them when it comes to partying but I'd hang out with them again." I Said

"See my two worlds are colliding perfectly, I'm happy you get along with them..most girls I meet don't really like them." Shawn Said

"I really like them because they remind me of my brothers, goofy, stupid sometimes very funny and loyal..which is a perfect blend in my book." I Said
As Shawn smiled

"So Sawyer..what are you doing tomorrow?" Shawn Asks

"Your inviting me out again, look I'm gonna need a day to sober up." I Said

"No No it's not a party, just you and me..I want to take you some place." Shawn Said

I furrowed my brows at him "Where?..another concert."

"No...don't worry about it, I'll pick you up around like 4 tomorrow." He opens my car door, I look at him then bite my lower lip

"Okay Then.." I Said

"I'll see ya." Shawn Said

I got in the driver side, Shawn closes the door "Have fun cleaning up that cake and frosting." I Said

"Don't worry I'll have someone come over and get it out for me but, you drive home safe okay." Shawn Said

"I Will..Hickenbottom." I Smiled

"Sawyer." Shawn Said

I rolled up my window and puts the keys into ignition, the engine roared and I waved bye to Shawn and drove off.
