[ Finally I got back to hotel after the big pay-per-view. Sure I know that my loss to Angela wasn't going to be easy to handle but I gave it my all. That's really all I could have asked for. I fought hard and I like to think I can hold my head up high for doing so. It would have been better if I was going home to Mike and Patience to get the loss off of my mind but I wasn't. I was going back to an empty hotel room and eating alone. I wish I could be more forward and tell Mike that I no longer want to be with out him, but I'm not that bold. I figure there was one excuse that wouldn't make it look like I was lonely. I would stop by the guest house for my mail that had built up over the last few days while I was gone. Not wasting anymore time I knocked at the guest house door. ]
Skylar Black:"Mike...are you home? Mike?"
[ It didn't take Mike long to open the door up. He stood in front of me for a moment with out saying anything as he looked at me while a smile came across his face. ]
Mike Young: "Skylar...you want to come in?"
[ He said, quickly as opened the door some more to let me pass in to the guest house if I wanted to to. ]
Mike Young: "You know you didn't have to knock you could have just came in."
Skylar Black:"Knocking is the polite thing to do..."
[ I said smiling..as I entered the house.]
Skylar Black:"I actually just came by to get my mail and to see Patience...Is she here?"
Mike Young: "Yeah she is in her playing with her dolls. I'll go get her...your mail is on the kitchen table."
[ Mike said, as he shut the door behind me before he started to head towards Patience's room to get her, but he stopped and turned to look at me still smiling at me. ]
Mike Young: "It might be polite to knock Skylar, but with how long you stayed here with us you really didn't need to knock."
[ Maybe I didn't but I alway practice good manners. Mike when to get Patie[ Maybe I didn't but I alway practice good manners. Mike when to get Patience and I picked up a stack of mail and flipped through it. I saw mostly Mike's mail but then I saw something curious...a piece of mail that read "Rick Young." sure some of you may not find it weird but for those of you who pay attention Young is not Rick and Mike's real last name their real last name is Farkas. I glanced down at the table again to see my stack of mail. Before I could put the mail in my hand down Mike came back, but no patience...she must have been sleeping the little angel.]
Skylar Black"Oh..Mike....I'm sorry..I picked up the wrong stack of mail...Where's Patience?"
Mike Young: "She's still in her bed room. I guess she tired herself out playing with her dolls, because she was sound asleep and I didn't have the heart to wake her up."
[ He said, as he made his way over to the kitchen table to stand next to me even though he was leaning up against the table. ]
Mike Young: "And don't worry about picking up the wrong stack. It's mostly junk mail any way. I just haven't gotten around to throwing it away yet."
[ I nodded then set it down. I wanted to ask him about the Rick thing or if he's even heard from Rick or Brandi to say how Rick was doing but I didn't want to push. If he needed to talk I would hope that he would feel comfortable enough to do that.]
Skylar Black:"Mike...are you ok? I mean how are you doing?"
Mike Young: "I am fine...only needed eight stitches to close the gash on my forehead."
[ He said, before he lifted up his bangs to show me the bandage that was on his forehead to cover the stitches to make sure it didn't get infected. The bandage looked nearly clean as he must have just changed it. He let his bangs fall back over his forehead as he looked down at the floor. ]
Mike Young: "If you are wondering Rick medical wise will make a full recover in a couple of days I actually just got off the phone with him, but I have to say I haven't been thinking much about Rick or my forehead. I've been thinking about the other night when I went to see you."
Skylar Black:"Oh...well I was just wondering..again the polite thing.."
Mike Young: "I know...you always do the polite thing Skylar and I can honestly say that it's one of the things I find attractive about you."
[ Mike said, as he smiled again at me while he took in a deep breath and then sighed. ]
Skylar Black:"Mike is there something wrong? You know something you want to talk about?"
[ I really hated to see him hurt and really I was afraid not of his physical pain but him fighthing with his own emotions and taking another turn for the worst.]
Mike Young: "It's just with the fighting going on around here with Brandi's dad and Rick...I am thinking about leaving Miami and going back to Ragley, but nothing is final yet, because I want to talk to Rick before I do. With him in the hospital right now isn't the time either, but that isn't the important part. The important part is I want you to come with Patience and I."
[ Mike said, and with the look in his eyes I could tell that he was serious about it. ]
Skylar Black:"What?...You want me to come with you?"
[ what an honor, I couldn't contain myself. I squeeled then hugged Mike.]
Skylar Black:"Really? You mean it?"
Mike Young: "Yes I mean it."
[ Mike said, smiling again as he wrapped his arms around me hugging me back. ]
Skylar Black:"If that's what you want...then I'd love to. When do you think you'll talk to Rick about it?"
[ I didn't want to push it but I also wanted to know the time fram I was working in.]
Mike Young: "Most likely in a couple of days from what he said until he is out of the hospital. So I am going to wait until he is out. So maybe a week....week and a half, because I am not going to start packing things up here until I talk to him about it. I just want to make sure that when I do talk to him about he doesn't bust a gasket and re-hurt himself."
Skylar Black: "Why would he bust a gasket? I would think that Rick will feel proud you got yourself together and want to get your life back."
I didn't back away from Mike at all instead I just layed my head on his shoulder and rubbed his back.]
Mike Young: "It's not that I don't think he would be proud that I want to get my life back, but at the same time I know Rick might still want to keep an eye on me for what ever reason. Either that or just want to keep me around to help out with Brandi's dad and Alex..."
[ Mike said, as he reached up with his left hand placed it on my head slightly starting to rub it. ]
Skylar Black:"You really think that he'll have that much trouble? Is that why his mail says Young on it?"
[ Maybe I shouldn't have said that...but...I wanted to know exactly what Mike was thinking.]
Mike Young: "Young? It should all say Farkas."
[ He said, as he turned his body slightly to look down at the stack of mail. With his right hand he flipped through the mail until he came across the piece of mail that was addressed to "Rick Young". He looked at it for a moment trying to figure it what the deal behind it was. ]
Mike Young: "Normally I would chalk this up to a fan addressing it to his wrestling name, but this like an official letter of some importance."
[ Mike looked at the letter some more then he noticed something else about it that was off. It wasn't addressed to the main house, but the guest house instead. Mike looked just about as confused as I am about the letter. ]
Mike Young: "Why would someone send a letter to Rick here with the last name of Young? Think I should open it?"
skylar Black:"I think so...maybe it's the wrong address and it's something important for someone."
[ Mike looked at me and he didn't waste a second though about opening the letter up. Once he had it opened he pulled the contents out and unfolding it so that he could it. He glanced at the letter and once over what it said... ]
Mike Young: "It's an official document to let Rick know that his name has been legally changed on all public records."
[ Mike put the letter down by his hip as he looked at me with a blank expression on his face trying to process all of what he just read and said. ]
Mike Young: "Why would Rick change his last name? And why would he have the letter sent here instead of the main house?"
[ The first question I wasn't sure of what the reason was, but it is sort of obvious as to why he had it sent here instead. He was trying to hide it from someone in the main house. ]
Skylar Black:"Maybe it was a simple mistake..I mean the guest house doesn't have it's own address. It's the same one that Brandi and Rick have...But isn't this a bit extreme him changing his name? Is he in trouble Mike?"
[ If Rick inded was introuble I wanted to help Mike help him. I mean if it wasn't for Rick I never would have gotten to know Mike the way I have. There had to be a simple explanation.]
Mike Young: "I don't know...I mean other than Brandi's father hating him and Alex trying to move in on Brandi it seems...I don't know of any trouble that he could be in that would make him change his name."
[ Mike lifted the letter back up to double check to make sure that what he read was truly what he read. ]
Mike Young: "I just don't get this, because I am sure Rick would have said something to me about this. I mean this isn't something you just forget to talk to your family about even though it is our mother's maiden name."
Skylar Black: "I'm sure there's a simple answer...Don't worry about it for now.."
[ I said as I kissed his cheeked.]
Skylar Black: "But for now I think we should order dinner and relax a bit what do you think?"
Mike Young: "That sounds like a good idea."
[ Mike said, with a smile on his face before he surprised me with a kiss on my lips. ]
Skylar Black"So what will it be...Italian or chinese?"
Mike Young: "Italian sounds good."
[ I started to feel like I really started to fit into Mike's life. Not only that but for the first time I felt like he really wants me to be a part of it. It's a wonderful feeling to know that Mike doesn't just need me to be around he wants me around and wants me to help raise his daughter. That in itself is an honor that I'm not taking lightly. After all the garbage that happened with Samantha. I know that Mike is very careful now about the women he selects to be around his little girl. The best way to put it is I'm flattered.]
About the Match:
Once again I have another go around with Cyprus. Is it something that I want? eh, I don't know with all the let downs I've had lately I'm not sure. The only thing I can do about it though is fight. This is a challenge that I have to rise up to. On our first meeting I under estimated this worthy diva. This time I can't be so brash and ignore the talent that this woman posses. The first mistake I made before was juding her by her at the time lover Cody Carson. blah, Cyprus has proved that she is too much woman for a man like Carson and has gone beyond most of the roster.
Most people don't think I stand a chance against an opponent that strong. As true as it maybe they are forgetting one thing. Everyone loves the under dog. Which is the exact role that I fall into here. It's a role that I really think will get me motivated. See when people exspect less of you it gives you a bit more drive. It pushes you to places that you didn't even know existed. It makes you test yourself and prove just how much heart you have.
My heart? Well some may begin to question how much of a fighter I really am. Most of you I know think of me as the sweet little souther girl that is the good deed do-er around the AWA. Not that I don't enjoy being differnt but I suppose I'm just sick of people viewing me that way. I sick of people not giving me the chance to allow me to rise to the occassion and do what I am capable of doing. Everytime I fight I leave my heart and soul in the ring win or lose. My job is to give the people a quality performance so they get what they pay for. I feel not only do I do my job but I do it well.
And with my Fem-X title on the line against such a strong women this week will not be any walk in the park. I suppose this is what seperates the champions from the pretenders, am I correct? Sure I am..I want to be thought of as a great champion. My goal was to bring back value to the Fem-X title. A belt that so many of you had scoffed at and snickered at the holder of it for a long time thinking that the title is worthless and is only held by the eye candy of the roster. I hope that I've brought a little more respect to the Fem-X title. The one thing I never wanted to be accused on of is having no heart.
I'd rather retire first before someone tries to pull that card on me. I'll go out there night after night to entertain the masses and give them everything I have in me. I may not win each and every time but I'll leave this business with my head held high knowing I gave them everything I could. Heart ....do I have it? You bet your boots I do! And at Adrenaline Cyprus will see exactly how much heart I have and how you just can't keep a good woman down no matter how hard you try.
