â€Trouble in Paradise.â€Where:Brisbane, AustraliaDays until Showtime:13||OFF-CAMERA.||--|SCENE i|Mikah sighs as she leans into the mirror a little bit, checking to make sure that her eyeliner wasn't smudged and that her make up looked just absolutely perfect. Not that it really mattered since she was married but she wanted to always look her best. She looks at her simple turquoise dress that hugged her curves and was probably a little too short but she simply did not care. She hears the door to the suite open and the shut, letting her know that her husband was back from training or working out or whatever it was that he chose to do when he left the hotel. He walks into the bathroom to take a shower to see Mikah finishing getting ready.;;Mikah “I look okay, right? I mean, I don't look like Veronica Taylor do I?â€
She looks at him as he turns the shower on, looking at her after he had made sure that he knew what he was doing at the time.::Gavin “You'd only look like Veronica if you were hit by the bus.â€
She smiles a bit at him before slipping her feet into her designer silver-glittered stiletto pumps. She leans in and kisses his cheek.;;Mikah “You're a peach. I'll be back in a little bit, okay?â€
She knew that it probably wasn't the right thing to do; leave her husband to go out with her boss but Gavin didn't like to drink. And he probably didn't like Mark Ward much either.::Gavin “Uh, sure. Where are you going?â€
She watches as Gavin tugs his t-shirt off to reveal his delicious looking abs as he looks at her. She bites on her bottom lip a bit, nervously. She knew his reaction was going to be anything but positive. Because what husband would be okay with their wife going out and getting trashed with another man?;;Mikah “I'm just going to go get a few drinks....with a.....friend.â€
::Gavin “No.â€
Mikah frowns. She hadn't asked for permission because she simply didn't think that she needed permission to do something. She was an adult and figured she could do things on her own, in her own time.;;Mikah “I'm sorry, when did I ask you for your permission, daddy?â€
She rolls her eyes at him a bit. She didn't like his view of things and it sometimes bothered her that he didn't budge on things.::Gavin "You're my wife, and it's entirely disrespectful of me and our relationship to go out for drinks, alone, with a guy."
;;Mikah “He's practically married too. And he's my boss, it's not like I'm going to do anything with him or vice versa. We've already had this argument about Christian Othniel and I'm not going to let you ruin my new-found friendship with Mark either.â€
They wouldn't see eye to eye on this debate either. She didn't have any female friends and he didn't like that she only had male friends. And he definitely didn't like that Christian Othniel had been proclaimed her best friend since like ever.::Gavin “And I'm not about to let you ruin our relationship because you choose to spit on our marriage by going off alone with a different person, nightly.â€
He stood there, letting the shower run and the bathroom steam up. She just rolls her eyes at him again, something she'd been doing an awfully lot lately.;;Mikah “It's not nightly! And I'm not ruining our relationship, Gavin. This is the first time you've chosen to come with me in like a month!â€
Sometimes, if she was honest, she preferred to come by herself. She enjoyed being able to do what she wanted, whenever she wanted to do it.::Gavin “Stop changing the subject, of the fact that it's disrespectful to me, for you to go spend time alone with another man.â€
She gives him a dirty look; she wasn't going to let him stop her from going out. It wasn't something she would do willingly and she didn't think he was going to tie her to a chair to stop her either.;;Mikah “There is a thing called trust, Gavin. You could
trust me and not think that me going out with my
boss for a few drinks is disrespect for you. My life is not just all about you; I have things to do for SCW too. And for Leighton.â€
She tried to split her time up evenly between the things in her life but sometimes, she felt that there was too much going on for her to easily and evenly divide her time up. Sometimes it was just SCW and Leighton. And sometimes it was just SCW.::Gavin “And you're smart enough to know, it's not you I distrust. It's everyone else. Also, yeah, about that, I could care less about SCW."
She wasn't very happy with what he had said. She was a big part of SCW and she would think that maybe he would be a little more supportive of the company and of her. But apparently not.
;;Mikah “I don't even know why I told you or why you're even here. If you could
care less about SCW. Have fun with your shower. I will be back in a little bit.â€
::Gavin "Because you're here, genius. I want to be where you are. If I cared where SCW happened to be, I'd work there."
His answer didn't make anything any better. She didn't care if he wanted to be where she was; she wanted him to care about her career. And her career was in SCW and she didn't think she would be going anywhere any time soon.;;Mikah “Yeah, maybe but I'm a huge part of SCW. So therefore, you don't care about me as much as you say you do. But whatever. I'm done with this argument, I'll be back later.â€
She pushes past him and pushes the door open, his words stopping her momentarily.::Gavin “Of course. Tell your friend to fuck himself with an ice pick.â€
She just flips him off to earn herself an eye roll from him in her own direction. She didn't have time for his dramatics and she didn't have the patience to deal with whatever the underlying issue was. She didn't let anybody dictate her life; it's not what she was about. She loved her husband but she was allowed to have a good time with the few friends that she did have; even if they were of the male species.>>>>>>FAST FORWARDING TO FIVE HOURS AHEAD>>>>>>A drunken giggle rings out through the dark hotel room as Mikah manages to get into her suite and then shut the door rather loudly behind her. It was safe to say that she was drunk and she wasn't trying to be quiet at all. The lights flip on a moment or so later, after she's knocked over an end table and scattered the contents of her purse on the ground.::Gavin “So, why the giggles?â€
Mikah screams out in surprise as Gavin sounds annoyed with his wife's antics. She looks at him before just giggling again.;;Mikah “BecauseIcan.â€
She said it as one big, slurred word all together as she looked at her husband. She was more than drunk but she still could remember the fight that they'd had in the night.::Gavin “Explain.â€
She looks at him as if he had something on his head or if he was crazy. She simply didn't know why she was giggling.;;Mikah “Explain whattt?!â€
::Gavin “Why you're giggling?â€
She rolls her eyes as she stops giggling, her mood changing fast. But she was drunk and things tended to go that way for her.;;Mikah “Oh, so I sup-posee I can't gig-gle now. Just like how I can't hang out with Christian Othniel or Mark Ward. I'll just add no more giggling to the list, sir.â€
She mock salutes him as she moves toward the little kitchenette. She rummages through the fridge before grabbing one of her coconut waters and taking a drink.::Gavin “I just want to know why you're giggling; answer the question.â€
;;Mikah “No.â€
She takes a few sips of the coconut water as she stares at Gavin as she drinks it. She sets it down on the counter, watching him as she feels the effects from all the shots she'd done with Mark.::Gavin “Yes.â€
She just laughs at him. His rebuttal only made her giggle some and nothing more. She looks at him before taking another drink from her coconut water.;;Mikah “No.â€
She was stubborn and drunk and the combination was not good for Gavin as he was likely not to get anything out of her.::Gavin “Just fuckin' tell me.â€
He was irritated and if Mikah hadn't have been trashed, she probably would have been able to see that but she was trashed. And she didn't register that he was not-so-happy with her.;;Mikah “I didn't know I had to have a reason to giggle. I'm sorry, father. I'll try to be more quiet next time.â€
She mock salutes him again before walking towards the bedroom, ready to pass out and sleep for a good few hours. She didn't want to deal with her moody, agitated husband.::Gavin “Annoying.â€
He rolls her eyes as he follows her to the bedroom. She simply ignores him as she tugs her dress off and leaves it in a wadded pile on the floor as she tugs on a SCW wrestling tee and then climbs into bed, ready for sleep. She was surprised that she was still awake but the arguing with Gavin had been a minor set back. She sighs contently as she feels her head hit the pillow and doesn't bother saying anything as Gavin climbs into the bed on the other side, both of them irritated with one another.
The morning comes way too fast for Mikah and she groans as the sun peaks in through the blinds and she tries to shield her face the best she could. If this had been a normal day, she'd have already been up and more than half way through her morning run but it wasn't. She was starting to feel the effects of all the alcohol that she'd consumed last night with one Mark Ward. She groans again as she rolls onto her stomach, pulling her knees up a bit. She remembered the argument that she'd had with her husband and only knew that he wasn't going to be very supportive of her hangover. Or very nice about it, either.
Gavin walks into the bedroom, having been up for a good hour or so to see his wife pull the blankets over her head. He doesn't even try to be quiet as he slams around, opening drawers and slamming them shut and then playing a noisy game on his phone at full volume.;;Mikah “Seriously, Gavin James?! Do you have to play on your fucking phone right fucking now?!â€
If looks could kill, Gavin would be dead right about now. She manages to half sit up, shielding her eyes with her hand as she glares at Gavin as he sits in a chair across from the bed.Gavin “That's what you get for wasting your time out drinking.â€
;;Mikah “But you don't have to be an asshole about it.â€
She throws the covers off of her body and stands up, pausing for a moment before stretching out.::Gavin “You started this fight last night.â€
;;Mikah “Because you act like my father, not my husband. Newsflash, Gavin I hate my father.â€
She didn't like her father, and probably never would. She was just starting to be okay with her brother and sister coming around every now and then but she wasn't going to let her parents come around. It was a decision that she'd made a few weeks ago. She just couldn't accept that they gave up on her so easily. Maybe it was something that she'd never understand and never be okay with.::Gavin "If you'd act like my wife instead of someone single, who can go out and spend time alone with various dumbfucks, maybe we'd never have an issue.â€
She rolls her eyes at him. The fight could go on and on with no end and she wasn't going to give in. She was stubborn enough to hold her ground, which she probably should have done so a few months back when he basically demanded she stop hanging out with her best friend, Christian Othniel.;;Mikah “If you wouldn't act as if I was a child and try to dictate who my friends can be and can't be, we wouldn't be having this issue either. I'm going to go take a shower then I'm going for a run to sweat the alcohol out. You have fun with your little handheld game.â€
::Gavin “You have fun with the three things you do that define you as a person.â€
She stopped in her tracks, looking at him as she rolls her eyes at him. She didn't want to deal with his dramatics this morning; she was too hungover to really care.;;Mikah “Which is?â€
::Gavin "Running, drinking, and hanging out with random asshats over doing what a wife does and staying around her husband."
She looks at him again, clenching her jaw a little bit. She didn't think his assessment was fair. She wasn't the type to just want to be around her husband, all the time and she felt that it was ridiculous that he felt that way.;;Mikah “Right. So you'd rather I didn't have a life outside of you. Great to know, Gavin.â€
She grabs a clean pair of panties from her suitcase before grabbing her favorite pair of her spandex running shorts and her sports bra. She seems him roll his eyes out of the corner of her eyes but she didn't say anything or retaliate as she hurried off to the bathroom to take a cold shower before her run. She didn't have the time or the patience to deal with her husband and she really didn't want to work their fight out at the moment; she wanted to stay mad at him.
She sighs as she turns the water on in the bathroom, shutting and locking the door firmly behind her. She checks the temperature of the water, making sure that it was more cold than warm before she tugs her t-shirt off of her then peels her bra and panties off and then steps under the spray of water. She sighs a bit as the pounding in her head seemed to go down just a little bit. She was almost to the point where she ddn't get hangovers again. And she so desperately wanted to be back to that point because hangovers were worse than death itself.â€Life Lessons in a Classroom.â€Where: Brisbane, AustraliaDays until Showtime:12||ON-CAMERA.||--|SCENE ii|The scene opens up to show what looks like a classroom setting. There were little desks set up in the room in front of an old school chalkboard with the green background. The bell rings and soon, children are seen filing in and sliding into their assigned desks. Moments later, Mikah walks in wearing a red and black plaid skirt and a white button up shirt with sleeved rolled up to her elbows. The shirt was also unbuttoned a bit to show some of her cleavage.;;Mikah “Alright class, settle down!â€
As if right on the cue, the children settled down as if they were perfect little angels. She smiles at them before leaning against the teacher's desk that was placed at the front of the room. She looks at all the little kids.;;Mikah “Shall we jump right into the lesson today then?â€
The kids nodded their heads like the good children that they appeared to be. Mikah turned and wrote the name Veronica Taylor on the board and then underneath it wrote Amanda Cortez.;;Mikah “Do any of you know who these two...tacky women are?â€
The children just looked at her with blank looks on their young faces before they all just simply shrugged their shoulders.;;Mikah “Good, I'm glad that none of you have heard of those poor excuses of women. Let's move on to the next topic at hand. Does any of you know what the word hunty means?â€
Again, the kids looked at Mikah as if she was speaking a foreign language and she was because she was talking in Veronica Taylor speak. It made her want to wash her own mouth out with soap. She grabs a piece of paper before sitting on her desk and crossing one leg over the other.[/color
;;Mikah “The definition of hunty is: an amalgamate of honey and cunty. A deameaning term without being overly aggressive. Do any of you know what that means?â€A little girl with freckles along her nose and under her eyes and with blonde pigtails raises her hands. Mikah looks impressed with the knowledge that this little girl could possibly have.;;Mikah “Yes, you. What's your name again?â€
The girl beamed with pride as Mikah called on her.♀♀Girl “Jasmine Weathers. And I know what the word cunt is; it's something my father calls my mother.â€
Mikah blinked a few times, a bit surprised that the young girl would just openly admit that. She just shrugged her shoulders.;;Mikah “Yes, I suppose your father might call your mother a cunt but that's not what I had said, Jasmine. Hunty is a stupid word and you should never use it. You see one of those women that are written on the board use that word too excessively. And do you know what happens when you use a word too excessively?â€
The class shook their heads as they seemingly paid a little more attention to Mikah. Maybe they knew that she wasn't very strict with what they said or what she was going to say to them.;;Mikah “You become moronic, unintelligent, slow, and the laughing stock of the entire Bombshell locker room. I mean her insults are something that you guys could come up with and actually, you all could come up with something entirely better than she ever could. She lives in this alternate universe where she believes that she is far superior than everybody else. Get this children, the girl couldn't even win a match on her own for I don't even know how long realistically but she's a basket case, a complete and utter moron. I'm surprise that she even knows how to talk in full sentences. Now notice how I didn't say proper sentences? Because the woman doesn't have an IQ higher than 69. Which means she's mildly impaired or delayed. So children do not grow up to be like Veronica Taylor. Nobody wants to be a Veronica; Veronica doesn't even want to be a Veronica.â€
She stands up and fixes her short skirt before looking around the classroom. The children's eyes were still completely on her, intrigued by what she was saying.;;Mikah “Let's have a little lesson about the meaning of the name Veronica, shall we? And we'll see if it fits her.â€
;;Mikah “Veronica means that you are a trashy individual, obsessed with all things about yourself. You don't care about facts or the truth, you'd rather live in a realm of stupidity. And who wants to be known for being stupid? Do you?â€
She points at random children and they each shake their head no with their eyes wide open. She smiles to herself, thinking that maybe she was getting through to them.;;Mikah “Do you children know what a fabrication of reality is?â€
She leans against the desk, crossing her arms over her chest as she looks out at them. They shook their head no as they leaned forward in their own desks, just begging to get another earful of what Mikah had to say to them.;;Mikah “Fabrication is another world for a lie or something that just simply doesn't exist. And Veronica Taylor lives in a World where she believes that she is the only bombshell in the back that is worth anything. She solely believes that everybody loves her and is jealous of her self-believed beauty. But I'm here to tell you that everything she believes is just a fabrication of her imagination. She's not beautiful, she has to cake on pounds and pounds of make up to even get any modeling jobs and she has to use so much concealer and foundation to cover up the tracks of her tears. Tears she had shed because of all of the thoughts she had about her pathetic, worthless self. But if I looked like her, I too would believe that I wasn't good at anything because I've seen her try to walk down a catwalk and she just simply cannot do it. So, if she can barely walk down a catwalk for modeling, do you think that she knows how to wrestle well?â€
The children shook their heads and in unison said..♀♂ALL CHILDREN “No!â€
Mikah beams proudly, happy that the children weren't completely retarded or any shade of such thing.;;Mikah “Good little boys and girls. So you will remember not to live in an alternate reality, correct? You'll do your best to live in reality and not spread false rumors because you're insecure about yourself, right?â€
The children nod their heads eagerly before Mikah walks over to the chalkboard and draws a line through Veronica Taylor's name that was written on the board.;;Mikah “Let's move on to the next, horrendous culprit known as Amanda Cortez. She's going to need all the help she can get. Do you know anything about her, children?â€
She turns to look at the children and they all shake their heads no, having never heard of the former Mean Girl.;;Mikah “Not everybody can be as lucky as you guys. She's a real piece of work, let me tell you. Do you guys know what a fetish is?â€
The children once again shake their heads no as they continue to watch Mikah with interest written in her eyes.;;Mikah “A fetish is a form of sexual desire in which gratification depends to an abnormal degree on some object or item of clothing or part of the body. I'm sure that your parents will be oh so happy with me telling you that but it's best that you learn these things young.â€
They all seemed a bit more eager. Here was an adult that was willingly telling them the things that most adults would never dream of telling them.;;Mikah “You see, Amanda Cortez has a weird fetish with her own feet. This is a conclusion I have come to from following her on Twitter. And I think it's just weird to be obsessed with your own feet or anybody else's feet for that matter. Why objectify somebody else's feet like she chooses to do on Twitter? Feet are gross anyways and I have cute feet. But seriously kids, think about what your feet go through on a daily basis. You're on them for the majority of the day and you have them usually covered with socks and shoes. And if you don't have them covered, you are walking around barefoot with germs and things getting on them. And she wants to talk about her feet on Twitter almost constantly! I just don't understand it one bit. But that's a freak for you.â€
She shrugs her shoulders.;;Mikah “Also the girl needs a lesson on grammar and how to talk. I'm pretty sure that she doesn't even know how to pronounce my name at all. I mean, I get it. There are several different ways to spell my name and pronounce it but for heavens sake, Amanda. We work in the same company and I get announced when I am walking to the ring! The announcer knows how to pronounce my name, you would think that you'd pay just a
little bit more attention to the details, wouldn't you? But here we go, let's have a lesson on how to say my name, give you a little lesson on how to pronounce it, something that you so obviously need.â€
Mikah clears her throat before walking over to the chalkboard and picking up a piece of white chalk. In big capital letters, she writes her name on the board: M I K A H. She underlines each letter before putting the chalk back down in its proper place.;;Mikah “Let's see here. My name came be pronounced Mick-ah, Mee-kah, and My-kah. Which way do you think my name is pronounced? Hmm..â€
She acts as if she's actually pondering the question before laughing to herself, letting the laugh roll off of her tongue with ease.;;Mikah “It's My-kah. Myyyyy-kah. I don't know how else to say it so that she might understand it, class. I'm sure you guys have already mastered how to pronounce my name as you're all very smart little children. It's simple really. And I know that you guys know how to pay attention and listen but I don't think that Amanda ever really, truly learned that in Kindergarten. Or preschool.â€
She looks at the children, their eyes still glued to Mikah.;;Mikah “She's also not that intelligent either, my children. She can't string together a sentence without people giving her weird looks as they try to decipher what she was trying to say. She also tries to make herself seem so important but yet, she's not. Do you want to know how many times that she tries to get my feathers all ruffled so to speak?â€
They nodded their head, still listening to her.;;Mikah “Almost every other day it seems like. I mean, this girl tries so hard to get under skin and make me feel like I need to defend myself to the likes of her. It's comical, really. I hope when you all grow up that you don't feel that you need to act that way to other people. Because seriously, it's not needed. The bitch has already had a shot at my championship, who the fuck decided she deserved another one? Wasn't one defeat against her enough?â€
A little girl raised her hand and Mikah sighs and points at her.♀♀Girl 2 “My mommy says bitch is a bad word; what does it mean?â€
Mikah smirks, looking at the little girl who was curious about some of the words that had came out of Mikah's mouth.;;Mikah “I bet your mother told you to never say that word, didn't she? Well, your mommy apparently doesn't know the newfound definition of the word bitch. The new definition of it is Amanda Cortez. So you when you go home, you say that word and you tell your mommy that your teacher told you what it means, okay?â€
She loved being able to mold little minds into the little people that they would some day become. She knew that she wouldn't have wanted Leighton to learn those words but these were not her children.;;Mikah “Now let's talk a little bit about me, shall we?â€
She smirks at them before hopping up and sitting on the desk once more and crosses one leg over the other.;;Mikah “I'm the Bombshell Champion of Sin City Wrestling. And since May, I have not lost a single match and I'm on a hot winning streak. I also happen to be one of my boss' obvious favorite bombshell. I know he won't say it out loud, so I'll have to tell you children that. See, I'm everything you should aspire to be, children.â€
She flicks her hair over her shoulder as she looks at the children still seated in their desks, listening and absorbing every word that Mikah was saying.;;Mikah “I don't know why I get to face two idiots like Amanda Cortez and Veronica Taylor but maybe this will shut my other idiot of a boss up and he'll finally realize that I'm not going to lose my championship for a very,
very long time. My championship is an important part of my life, of my career at SCW right now. I do not want it to go to some simpleton like Veronica Taylor or Amanda Cortez. Can you imagine what they would be telling everybody backstage? The lies and the fetishes that would be spread around amongst the locker room if one of them were somehow able to pull off a win?â€
Mikah scoffs at the thought of them winning the match and what would happen if they did.;;Mikah “I may not be well liked among my peers backstage, but nobody, absolutely
nobody is going to make me want to step away from the championship. I will fight tooth and nail to keep this championship. There are people back there that bitch and bitch and bitch about their job but I come to work and I do my shit and I get shit done. I show up wrestle and I leave again. I have not once disappointed the fans by refusing to show up. Have I threatened that? Yes, but that was to get under Christian's skin. Christian is the idiot of a boss, by the way children if you were wanting to know.â€
[color#FF45CB]She slides off of the desk and down onto her feet. She adjusts her skirt before looking at the kids.
;;Mikah “I hope you children learn to stand up for yourself and learn to do whatever it is that makes you happy. Don't let simpletons like Veronica and Amanda hold you back because that's just ridiculous. But I've got to go now; I have to go do some training for my match before I have to be stuck on a cruise ship for a week with people that I don't even like. Have fun my children and be cheering for me in a week and a half!â€
She blows them a kiss before walking out of the class room. The camera films a little more of the kids before fading out to black.â€Friendly Encounters.â€Where: AustraliaDays until Showtime:11||OFF-CAMERA.||--|SCENE iii|Mikah was waiting at a small cafe in Brisbane, Australia sipping on a cup of hot tea as she waited for an old friend to join her. A friend that had actually trained her in the ring and taught almost everything she now knows. Of course her submission finisher was something she saw and just had to do and had to have somebody else teach her how to lock in the move correctly and without actually hurting anybody. Mikah looks up and smiles as she sees her former mentor and her friend walk into the cafe. She was a mommy of two children and had a busy life, Mikah understood the tardiness.;;Mikah “About time, Ally. I think my hair is turning grey.â€
Mikah smiles as she stands up and hugs her friend. She was only teasing and her friend knew that.§§Ally “Sorry. Axl and Lilly were fighting at the house and I had to deal with it so they didn't drive their father nuts.â€
;;Mikah “Brother and sister thing, have to love it.â€
They both sit down across from one another. Ally and her husband Liam and their two children, Axl and Lilly have lived in Australia for a good while now and Mikah hardly ever got to talk to Ally face to face. And they usually only talked once a month on the phone.;;Mikah “So, how's the husband?â€
Ally looked across the table at her friend and smiled. Ally was probably the only female that Mikah could call a friend. It wasn't really Mikah's fault; she was deemed unapproachable.§§Ally “He's good. Great father, even greater husband. How's your adoring husband?â€
Mikah looks at Ally, happy for her but irritated with the last question. The last thing that she wanted to deal with was her husband.;;Mikah “Ugh. I don't want to talk about my
adoring husband. At all.â€
She finishes off her hot tea as a waitress comes over to take their order. Mikah sighs before ordering a simple chicken caesar salad and a glass of sprite. She looks at Ally as Ally orders a chicken sandwich with a side of french fries and a coke. It was clear that Ally had a normal appetite.§§Ally “Trouble in paradise?â€
Ally gives Mikah a knowing look as she leans back in her seat. Ally knew about Mikah's partying ways before Mikah got into a relationship with Gavin. Mikah sighs as she runs her fingers through her straight blonde locks.;;Mikah “I don't know. It's a mess right now.â€
Ally smiles softly at the blonde bombshell. She knew that it had taken Mikah a long time to realize that she had wanted Gavin and then it took an even longer time to convince herself that it was okay to be with him and only him. It had been a long process but finally, they were married and he wasn't going anywhere but he did have to deal with a moody wife, who didn't see things the way that she did.§§Ally “You always know how to make a mess of things, don't you Mikah?â€
Mikah smiles a bit at Ally and shrugs her shoulders.[/color[
;;Mikah “Hey now. It takes two to fight, it's not all on me now.â€Ally just chuckles. She was such a different person that Mikah was. She loved her two kids that she had and personally would have two more if her husband was up for it but Mikah wasn't even sure that she could take a break from wrestling to have another child, let alone deal with other things that come along with pregnancy.;;Mikah “I just...you know, I'm the Bombshell champion of Sin City Wrestling and he just...expects me to sit in a hotel room with him until the show? I don't know what he expect me to do because I have things that I just
have to do for the company. I'm representing them as the Bombshell champion and he doesn't think I should be going out and doing things!â€
§§Ally “Mikah, you've been going out drinking with your boss. It doesn't look good to Gavin at all. I'm not taking sides but how would you feel if he was going out with another female just drinking?â€
Mikah just simply shrugs her shoulders. She didn't have to worry about that because he didn't drink. But she would trust him because she would believe that he wouldn't cheat on her. And he can go ahead and say that he trusts her but doesn't trust the guys she hangs out with. Did he think that they were going to convince her to have sex with them? Because she wasn't like that.;;Mikah “Yes, but he should put his trust in me. I'm not going to cheat on him. But he's going to have to accept the fact that my friends are of the male species.â€
She stops speaking as the waitress walks over and places their plates in front of them. Mikah just smiles at the waitress before grabbing her fork and pushing the lettuce around as Ally puts ranch on her sandwich and on the side. Mikah watches Ally for a moment as Ally eats before stopping to look at Mikah. Mikah smiles before looking down at her salad as she pushes the lettuce leaves around in the bowl before taking a small bite. Ally watches her friend for a moment, watching the tender bites that the bombshell takes before going back to her own food.
The next ten minutes went by fast and they were silent as they ate—or more like Ally ate and Mikah picked at her food and only managed to get half of her salad ate. Ally had easily noticed the lack of appetite that Mikah had and was slightly concerned about her friend's well being. But she knew that Mikah wouldn't talk about it; at least not with her. The only person Mikah would talk to about it was Christian Othniel and he wasn't around.;;Mikah “That...was good.â€
Mikah smiles at Ally before crossing one leg over the other. Ally smiles back before looking at the salad that was still left on Mikah's plate.§§Ally “It was. Very good. So, I hear that you're going to be defending your championship on a cruise ship next weekend?â€
Mikah nods her head as she looks across the table at Ally.;;Mikah “Yes, yes I am. I'm half tempted to push my opponents overboard after I kick their butts and say it was an accident.â€
§§Ally “Mikah!â€
Ally chuckles at her friend's openness about what she'd like to do to her opponents. And it wasn't because she was scared of them; she just found them utterly annoying.;;Mikah “I am sorry! Well, no I'm not but they're seriously annoying. I don't think they understand that they are the reason this world is going downhill. One is in complete denial about reality that she believes that she can
actually beat me. And the other is too involved with her wife to even care about the match. At least they can't say that about me.â€
§§Ally “But they can bring up the fact that you go out drinking with your boss on a regular basis.â€
Mikah frowns as she realizes that Ally knew all about her shenanigans with Mark Ward. It wasn't a bad thing and she wasn't ashamed of it but she didn't want Ally to look at her differently.;;Mikah “Yes, they can but I only drink with Mark, nothing else. Him and I are friends. I don't understand that stigma, the one where girls and guys can't be just friends without wanting to fuck one another. I'm the only one that seems to believe that girls and guys can be friends without wanting to have sex with one another. It's frustrating.â€
She knew that it probably wasn't exactly the best thing to do; feed into the sharks that ate up gossip like it was breakfast or chocolate. She just didn't care. She knew the truth and that was all that mattered to her. She didn't care if they spread rumor after rumor about what she chose to do with Mark Ward. She knew that they were just friends and that's alright with her.§§Ally “I know, Mikah. You've always pressed buttons and pushed limits and I wouldn't ever expect anything differently from you.â€
;;Mikah “Good because I'm not going to change because some scrubs think I'm a whore and that I cheat on my husband.â€
Ally chuckles at Mikah's bold side as she doesn't seem to care what she says and who she's around. Mikah shrugs her shoulders again.;;Mikah “Maybe I'm crazy but things are actually going pretty well for me. And feel better than I ever have before.â€
She had been on an impressive roll lately. She don't know how it happened or why but she felt as if she could fly and that nothing was going to stop her from living her dreams.§§Ally “I'm really happy for you Mikah. You are a little more bubbly than usual. No offense, of course.â€
;;Mikah “I'm in a much better place than the last time you saw me. And I like it that way.â€
She looks around the little cafe as Mikah leaves some cash out on the table to pay for both meals. She gives Ally a look, daring her to test her limits.;;Mikah “This was nice. I wish we could do it more often than we do. But Australia is a long ways from New York and I'm always busy with the traveling schedule of SCW.â€
§§Ally “I know. Lilly loves when we get to FaceTime; she asks when you're going to call us to do that.â€
Mikah smiles, feeling the the warmth spread through her heart. Ally's children were like Mikah's own niece and nephew that she didn't get to see very often and she loved them dearly.;;Mikah “You will have to tell Axl and Lilly that I miss them very much and will have to come visit them one weekend when I'm not rushing around for some silly match.â€
They both stand up, ready to part. Mikah had things to get ready for SCW and Ally had to get back to her family. It was rare that they got to have lunch without their children and husbands present. Not that Gavin ever went with Mikah; he didn't like Liam and Mikah wasn't going to force him to like anybody he didn't want to like.;;Mikah “You can call anytime. And if you're ever in New York City, you always have a place to stay.â€
§§Ally “The same goes to you, Mikah. You will always be welcome in my house. As will Leighton and Gavin. See you soon.â€
;;Mikah “See you soon.â€
They embrace before they each go their separate ways. Mikah sighs to herself as she walks the opposite way on the sidewalk. She wanted to do a little browsing in some stores before she went back to the hotel to see her husband. She couldn't wait for Friday to get here; she was having Leighton flown in so that Leighton could spend some time on the cruise ship. And at this point, she didn't even know if Gavin was going to want to come on the cruise or fly back to New York City. She was going to leave that decision completely up to him; she wasn't his mother and she wasn't going to treat him as if he was a child. Plus, she didn't want to be worried about his moods; whether or not he was mad at her or not. She had a match to focus on.â€Talk Shows and Tonight Shows.â€Where: New York City, New York.Days until Showtime:10||ON-CAMERA.||--|SCENE iv|Mikah had to fly back to New York City late at night so she could appear on Rachel Ray's talk show and later that night she had to appear on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. She was exhausted and cranky but there she was sitting backstage, her championship in her lap as she tried her best not to fall asleep. She just wanted to lay down on the couch and go to bed but she didn't have that option. She jumps just a bit when the producer knocks on her door to bring her to the stage so that Rachel Ray could introduce her. She smooths down the back of her dress that was short and made of a chiffon type material; it was a bright coral color with gold sequined shoulders. She sighs as she finishes off her cup of coffee and following the producer out to where he wanted her. She was careful not to trip in her gold stiletto heels as well and balanced her championship on her shoulder.++Rachel Ray “Okay, and now for our first guest of the day, she is a very well known women's wrestler and she is currently the Bombshell Champion for Sin City Wrestling. Her name is Mikah!â€
The audience applaud a little bit, more for the sake of Rachel rather than Mikah herself as Mikah walks out and waves at the audience, trying to be her not-so-cheerful self. She smiles at Rachel and they do the awkward hug thing before they each take a seat.++Rachel Ray “Thank you for being here today, Mikah.â€
;;Mikah “Thanks for having me here; this is the first time I've done something like this. A little overwhelming.â€
The audience laugh a bit and Rachel smiles as Mikah crosses one leg over the other.++Rachel Ray “Well then I'm really glad you can be here!â€
;;Mikah “It's a pleasure.â€
Mikah was trying to be more like a person that SCW would want to appear on a morning talk show; she was trying to be cheerful.++Rachel Ray “So you're a wrestler? How did you decide you wanted to be that when you were younger?â€
;;Mikah “Yes. I'm a wrestler but the female term can be known as diva, bombshell, or vixen. Those seem to be the three most popular terms for a female wrestler. I'm known as a Bombshell since I'm employed by Sin City Wrestling. And I didn't decide that when I was young; it sort of just hit me when I was roughly nineteen years old. I love it though, I don't think I would be happy doing anything else, honestly.â€
She pushes her blonde locks out of her eyes as she looks at Rachel.++Rachel Ray “I've been watching a few of your matches that have been recorded and you're pretty impressive in the ring. Does it hurt?â€
Mikah chuckles at the age old question of whether wrestling really does hurt or if it's all fake.;;Mikah “Well, it hurts sometimes but most of the time, you're living in the adrenaline of the moment and you don't realize anything is sore until you're backstage ready to go home. That is when it sinks in that the match you had was either really great or your opponent really, really sucks at what they're doing. I've been very fortunate not to get injured while doing this as a career.â€
She flashes a smile, trying to sound even more cheerful than she really was before she looks out into the audience.++Rachel Ray “So you have a big even coming up, is that right?â€
;;Mikah “Yes. We do. It's Summer XXXtreme III and it's next Sunday, the 23rd. We'll be on a cruise ship and doing the show on there. I'm trying to be excited about it.â€
Rachel raises an eyebrow at the blonde bombshell. Mikah still had to stay in character somewhat.++Rachel Ray “Just trying to? It's a cruise ship, I'd be happy just because I'm on a boat and my employers have to pay for it!â€
Mikah chuckles and nods her head;;Mikah “Yes, that is the part that is exciting. My opponents though? Not so exciting. They're rather dull and boring and I could sleep and still beat them with ease.â€
Mikah just shrugs her shoulders. She didn't care if she was throwing her opponents under the bus. She didn't like them and she didn't think that they were important to SCW. She almost wishes that they would just disappear off of the face of the earth.++Rachel Ray “And your opponents are Amanda Cortez and Veronica Taylor, right?â€
;;Mikah â€You're right. Both of them are former Mean Girls and former tag team partners. Both are rather annoying and both think they are more important to this business than they really are. They haven't done anything impressive with their careers since the Mean Girls broke up. And let it be known that I have a win over both of them so they shouldn't even have a shot at my championship!â€
Sour grapes? Probably, Mikah wasn't very happy that she had to face Veronica and Amanda in a triple threat match. She had already retained her championship against Amanda once and in her eyes, she didn't see how Amanda so easily got another shot at the championship. And Veronica hasn't done anything to earn a shot at her.++Rachel Ray “You seem very determined about that. So tell how a triple threat match works. Do they have to pin you to win?â€
Mikah laughs a bit before shaking her head no. If only that was the case and then it would be totally fair.;;Mikah “Nope. It's basically like a singles match but with three competitors. I don't have to get pinned to win, which isn't fair. At all. I've been the one working my ass off for the company but yet, I get put in a match where I don't even have to get pinned to lose. It's not fair.â€
Fairness in life was what most people wanted and Mikah felt she deserved a fair chance. But apparently, Christian Underwood didn't feel the same.++Rachel Ray “Sounds like you have your work cut out for you then. So, somebody told me that you don't know how to cook...â€
Mikah laughs and shakes her head no.;;Mikah “You're right, I don't know how to cook. But I've never had to really cook for myself. I've always had a chef on hand or been able to go out to eat. And my daughter loves my chef and he cooks her anything she wants, anytime that she wants. So, I've never felt the need to learn to cook. But I can bake, I'm good a making cakes and cookies.â€
It was something she'd picked up from her horrible mother. Her mother could bake and Mikah seemed to inherit that gene.++Rachel Ray “How old is your daughter?!â€
;;Mikah “She'll be ten years old on the 31st. It's crazy that she's going to be ten years old; it doesn't feel like ten years have gone by!â€
Mikah was beaming but she was always proud of her daughter and she didn't mind showing her off.++Rachel Ray “Ten is such a fun age! I bet she loves being able to go all over the world with you.â€
;;Mikah “When she gets the chance she does but school will be starting back up and she won't be able to go as much.â€
It was something that made Mikah feel bad; she wanted Leighton to have a normal life. She could have easily home schooled her and took her with her everywhere but she didn't feel like Leighton would be a normal kid and she wanted Leighton to have friends and a normal childhood.++Rachel Ray “You don't home school her?!â€
;;Mikah “No. And I could easily afford to hire a teacher to go on the road with us but I don't want Leighton to miss out on being a child because her mother is a wrestler.â€
She smiles a bit at the cameras before looking over at Rachel.++Rachel Ray “I would imagine that she would be just fine either way. So, if you had your choice, how would you want your match to end next Sunday?â€
;;Mikah “With me as the winner, of course. But I would prefer to win with my finisher, Cupid's Chokehold. Which, if you don't know is a submission move and my opponent would have to tap out to give me the win. There's something about locking in that finisher that gives me an adrenaline rush.â€
Mikah smiles as Rachel smiles back at her.++Rachel Ray “Would you be willing to execute that move on one of our staff members?â€
;;Mikah “Sure, as long as they don't press charges.â€
Mikah chuckles as she stands up and smooths down the back of her dress before slipping her stiletto heels off. She places her championship on the chair as Rachel gets one of her backstage crew members to come on the show.++Rachel Ray “Mikah, this is Tony. He'll be the one you're going to be putting your Cupid's Chokehold on.â€
;;Mikah “Hi Tony. I promise I won't hurt you too bad.â€
Mikah winks at him before they walk over to the mats that Rachel had set up. She looks at Tony before she sits down in a seated position and has Tony get on his knees. She has him move his left arm so that his hand is on her right shoulder as she wraps her right leg around his left arm then pulls his head down so his throat was pressing against her shin before she wraps her left leg around his shin. She however doesn't apply pressure, not wanting to really hurt him.++Rachel Ray “Impressive! That's all the time we have for the show today! Don't forget that you can see Mikah in action at Sin City Wrestling's next SuperCard show next Sunday!â€
Mikah lets go of Tony as soon as the cameras stop rolling. She apologizes if she hurt him before she stands up and fixes her dress. She thanks Rachel for having her on the show as she slips her feet back into her stiletto heels and then grabs her championship. She didn't have time for pleasantries with a woman that she most likely wouldn't ever see again. Plus, she wanted to get a nap in before she had to go appear on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight show.
