"The Mom"

[ Another week another match, although I have to say atleast it's not against cyprus. This week I get the honor of facing Rick's ex Tiffany Phoenix. Poor thing actually I'm sure she hates being referred to as Rick's ex. I'll have to be sure not to do that again, any how don't think it's been lost on me the impact that Tiffany has had in the AWA and the kind of career she had. The woman has had a serious injury that she's been able to come back from. Finally someone new for me to face, and I welcome the oppertunity. I must admit that I didn't have much time to prepare or even think really about the match. I hope in the end it doesn't come back to kick me in the you know where. I've just been so wrapped up in my life. I know that's really not an excuse but it's the truth. I'm so excited about starting my life with Mike, and actually getting him and Patience out of Brandi's guest house. Even though I'm sure Rick can use the support of his brother right now with all the poop that Mr. James has been throwing at him. It's just not fair of him but from what I hear that Mr. James isn't exactly a fair man. Right now I'm just relaxing after a busy day of meetings with real estate agents. Goodness they are enough to exhaust anyone. I figured the least I could do while I'm relaxing is thumb through some mail. Against my brain telling me to be lazy I got off the couch and went to get my mail. I had the usual stack of fan mail, and a box that had arrived from my mom. Gathering up everything I went into the house and sat down putting the package infront of me. With much excitement I opened it up only to find a good six or so bridal magazines along with a list of wedding planners numbers. And here I was hoping that my mother would have sent me and mike a blender or a nice juicer. Well no sense in being rude and not calling her to say thank you. I picked up the phone and dialed my mom and put her on speaker phone. It rang only once and she picked up as perky as ever...that's where I get it from.] Skylar's Mom:"Hello...Heather Black speaking..." [ I gulped then answered her.] Skylar Black:"Mom...how are you it's skylar...." Heather Black:"Oh Sky....honey how are you ?" Skylar Black:"I'm doing ok mommy....I have a match this week against Tiffany Phoenix...that I have to prepare for but other wise I'm doing ok." Heather Black:"Ah I see, isn't that Mike's brother's ex?" Skylar Black:"Yeah but I'm trying not to refer to her as Rick's ex...I think it sorta still makes her feel bad because she's still in love with Rick." Heather Black:"No...Are you serious?" Skylar Black:"According to Mike he can still see it in her eyes...I mean she's with a long time friend of Rick's now named Chris...but you can just tell that she's still very hurt by what Rick did her by leaving her. It's either that or the fact that her red hair color fades quickly...but I'm pretty sure it's more the fact that she thought she and Rick would be together forever.." Heather Black:"Probably, although keep your colored red hair looking new and fresh is a tough thing to do." Skylar Black:"Which is why I choose to keep my blonde." Heather Black:"Smart choice honey..." Skylar Black:"Well, I try to make the best choices I can." Heather Black:"Like moving in with Mike?" Skylar Black:"Yes, Mom...he's everything I could have ever wanted in a man. And his daughter is just the cutest little girl. I really adore her." Heather Black:"I can tell....I can't wait to meet them both, you really need to make it a point to come back to sweetwater for even just a short visit." Skylar Black:"Don't worry mom, I will...I want Mike to meet you and grammy. How is grammy by the way?" Heather Black:"She's fine...infact she asked me next time I talked to you to find out what color your living room is going to be that way she can make you and mike a blanket." Skylar Black:"Mom, first we have to get a house....tell her to hold off on that for a bit..and thanks for the lovely thought." Heather Black:"Alright but you know your grammy..when her mind is made up that's it. Don't be surprised if she starts one on her own." [ Skylar laughs.] Skylar Black:"I won't mom..." [ There's a small pause then Skylar's mom speaks.] Heather Black:"Did you end up getting my package I sent to you honey?" Skylar Black:"Sure did mommy, infact I'm a bit confused by it." Heather Black:"Oh and why is that?" Skylar Black:"It's just the last time we spoke I told you that mike and I were moving in together not that we were getting married." Heather Black:"Excuse me?" Skylar Black:"I said Mike and I are moving in together mom..." Heather Black:"But you are getting married before that happens, aren't you?" [ What could I say, I wanted to tell her yes but I knew that was a lie. I know it's sounds silly but I have never lied to my mom and I didn't want to start now. In a soft voice I answered her with the truth.] Skylar Black:"Umm, no mom. We're going to try living together first." Heather Black:"tsk,tsk,tsk, Skylar shame on you! I thought I raised you better than that. You go take off to be a wrestler and live a free live style. And now you're telling me that you're going to live in sin! Oh Dear Lord, where did I go wrong?" [ I quickly tried to put her mind at ease.] Skylar Black:"But Mommmy, it's not like that...really it's not." Heather Black:"Sky, what have I always told you? Men will not buy the cow if they are getting the milk for free." Skylar Black:"Mom, I know that..." Heather Black:"No, obviously you don't if you have agreed to live with the man." Skylar Black:"I'm still a good girl mommy. Mike and I haven't slept together, heck we barely have made out. He's been a real gentleman...doing things very old fashion." Heather Black:"I'm sure he is honey, but that will all change when you two move in together and share a bed room." [ I couldn't help but laugh..] Skylar Black:"Mom...I plan on having a seperate room. Just for the record I am still a virgin, and I plan to stay that way till I get married. Like you always say..You only have one special gift to give your husband...Beleive me, I'm not going to just give in to temption that easy. I want to be worthy of my white wedding dress." [ Mrs. Black breaths a sigh of relief.] Heather Black:"Oh thank the lord, I was afraid being around Brandi James has had some bad effects on you." Skylar Black:"No mom, it would take alot more than Brandi to make me stray." Heather Black:"I'm sorry if I ever doubted you honey.." Skylar Black:"No it's fine mom, I'm not saying that I don't have my moments of weakness but in the end my faith in the lord and what's right always wins out." Heather Black:"Amen...to that..." [ As my mom finished her I heard a car door shut. I got up and looked out my window to see Mike and Patience had come over to pay me a visit.] Skylar Black:"Mom, I have to go..Mike and Patience just got here..but thanks for the package and I'll talk to you tomorrow." Heather Black:"Ok sweetie...I love you..." Skylar Black:"I love you to mommy...talk to you later." [ I hung up the phone and ran my hands through my hair to put it back in a pony tail, then went to greet Mike and Patience at the door as the scene fades.] About the Match: Tiffany, I want to say it's going to be amazing to get in the ring with you. Mike has told me so many wonderful things about you, and I do look forward to getting to know you more. Unfortunately for you when you step into the ring for Monday nights Adrenaline it will be business not a friendly meeting. As much as I respect you and want to get to know you more, I'm still going to have to do my best to come out with the win against you. I'm sure you realize that it's nothing personal and will be looking for the same thing over me. Which will not surprise at all, I mean who really enjoys loosing? Right? We both want the same thing another shot at the Fem-X title and at the moment we both need this victory. It would be a major ego boost for me after getting the loss to Faith. And it will be a great ego boost for you after your match with Rick. Oh by the way, if you do need to talk I'm here.. But back to business, Monday night we enter to compete against each other, but when all is said and done hopefully we can build what maybe a great friendship. I look forward to fighting you Tiffany, and good luck...
