Ashley Massaro was walking down the streets of Montgomery, Alabama heading towards Starbucks for her date with Christian. Well, the diva had been debating in her head if this was a date or just meeting up with a friend but let’s stick with that. The blonde diva wearing jean shorts, 3 Doors Down band top and a black hoodie kind of stood out from the crowd with her tattoo’s and all but she didn’t give a damn. Finally arriving at Starbucks she quickly tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. There was Jay at the front of the store waiting for her, in his white and beige striped shirt and simple jeans. He saw her and quickly smiled that charming smile of his. Ashley walked up to him and gave him a hug.
Jay Reso: Well hello to you too.
Ashley let out a little giggle.
Ashley Massaro: So then Captain Charisma, what’s the plan?
Jay Reso: You’ll see, come on lets order.
They walked into Starbucks going up to the counter and waiting in line. Jay even held the door for her which Ashley playfully rolled her eyes at. It was fairly busy at the place with the usual book readers and laptop users drinking their coffees. Looking at the menu, planning on what to get, it eventually was their time to order.
Starbucks Barista: Can I take your order please?
Jay Reso: I’ll have a regular black coffee please and she’ll have...
Ashley Massaro: I’ll have a Choco-Latte thanks.
Starbucks Barista: Are you eating in or taking it to go?
Jay Reso: To go please.
This gained a quizzing look from the Dirty Diva. Just what was he planning? After Jay paid and they took their drinks leaving the shop, Jay turned down walking into a street leaving Ashley to follow.
Ashley Massaro: Okay where are we going?
Jay Reso: It’s a surprise Ash, come on I’m trying to be romantic here. Is it working?
Ashley let out a laugh and shook her head.
Ashley Massaro: Maybe. How far are we going to have to walk Jay? This better be worth it.
Just as the words escaped her mouth they were on the opposite side of a set of grand gold and black gates with lettering on it saying “Wynton M. Blount Cultural Park”. It was full and busy with people and families out for this sunny day. They crossed the road and Ashley then saw all the flowers and the beautiful lake inside the park. They stopped outside the gates with Jay taking in Ashley’s shocked face.
Ashley Massaro: Wow this place is beautiful Jay. But coffee and a walk in the park for our first date, pretty corny if you ask me.
Jay Reso: You know you’re a tough woman to please Ashley, but when you’ve been on the road as long as I have, you do get to see some nice places like this.
Ashley Massaro: Hey I never said I didn’t like it. Now aren’t we meant to be going for a walk?
Jay just smiled to that as they walked into the park hand in hand. They had been walking for a while when Jay spotted a bench. Sitting down Ashley was still taking everything in as she was doing on the walk, looking at every flower and every tree. The drinks were now cool enough to drink as Ashley sipped from her cup. For the first time on their date, it had become awkward. Ashley was starting to look bored whilst Jay just sat there thinking of something to say.
Jay Reso: Did you know parrots can live up to 70 or more years of age?
Ashley just turned and looked at Jay, who was now shamefully looking down after spewing out that random fact. He finally met her eyes and they both burst out laughing.
Jay Reso: What? I was just trying to break the ice. Why don’t you come up with something?
Ashley Massaro: Ok then, you have your Intercontinental Championship match on Monday with The Miz. You scared?
Jay Reso: Me scared of that guy! HA, that's a better ice breaker! Jokes DO break the ice, especially such a good joke as The Miz! Anyway... the way I see it, he doesn't stand a chance with yours truly, although, I don't want to think about Miz, while I'm here with you.
Ashley Massaro: So what do you want to talk about then Jay?
Ashley looked at him pushing her lip ring a little.
Jay Reso: You, Miss Massaro, I didn’t invite you out here to talk about game plans for Warfare. I want to get to know you more, know the real Ashley Massaro.
Ashley Massaro: The real me? Well what you see is what you get to be honest. I’m just a girl living life and chasing her dreams.
Jay Reso: Aren’t we all Ash, though I think there’s more to you then just that.
Ashley stood up from the bench walking to stand in front of Jay.
Ashley Massaro: Well I guess you’re just going to have to find out.
Jay Reso: You know me, I like a challenge.
Jay stood from the bench now face to face with the punky diva. Ashley took a step closer, just inches away from his face.
Ashley Massaro: Oh you do now, well then why not next we practice in the ring together. You teach me some moves.
Jay Reso: Sounds like a plan, but what’s in it for me?
Jay winked after he spoke looking Ashley dead in the eyes. They continued their staring war which looked like it was out of some cowboy movie until Ashley cracked laughing and pushing Jay away. She held the ends of her hoodie and curtsied.
Ashley Massaro: I’ll grace you with my presence.
They were now both in hysterics laughing away as they placed their empty cups in the bin.
Jay Reso: But what if that’s not enough?
Ashley Massaro: It will just have to be enough.
Ashley said in the most posh voice she could muster in between laughs.
Jay Reso: What are you some sort princess now?
Ashley Massaro: Yes a punk princess!
They had finally reached the gates with a walk full of laughs and messing around.
Jay Reso: Shall I get us a cab?
Ashley Massaro: Nah, its ok I wanted to hit up some of the shops in town anyway and I doubt you want to be dragged along.
Jay Reso: You got that right.
The pair laughed and then silence hit them leaving them awkwardly looking at each other for a while.
Ashley Massaro: Thanks Jay, I had an awesome time.
Ashley leaned towards Jay’s cheek breathing in his cologne whilst kissing him on the cheek.
Jay Reso: Not a problem.
Quickly snapping out of the little trance she had Ashley smiled and stepped back.
Ashley Massaro: We still on for training in the ring next week?
Jay Reso: It’s a date.
The scene opened backstage at Total Recall where Ashley Massaro, the Dirty Diva was warming up and stretching for her match.The air was thick with anticipation as tonight could be the night Ashley would be living her dream. Stretching her arms Ashley breathed in and out slowly as Christy and her camera crew approached.
Christy Hemme: Hey hun, you got a minute?
Ashley could hardly hear her over the crowd cheering watching one of the matches on tonight. She slowly breathed in and out again and nodded.
Ashley Massaro: Sure.
Christy turned and stood next to the ring gear clad Ashley with her trademark fishnets and chunky boots and waited for the countdown.
Christy Hemme: Hi I’m Christy Hemme backstage with Ashley Massaro who tonight will be facing Layla for the Sky High Championship. That’s a big match Ashley, how are you feeling?
Ashley Massaro: Big match, it’s one of the most important matches in my career so far. Yes I am a little nervous but you know what Christy that’s not a bad thing. It’s going to make sure I’m on my A game tonight, make sure I won’t miss a beat. And I know I am ready for this.
Christy Hemme: You have won your previous matches but Layla has been champ since May. What makes you think you’re going to win tonight?
Ashley Massaro: Well yes, Layla does have more experience than me, and she has held onto that belt for quite a while. But every dog has it day Christy. And I’ve been training my ass off, but people seem to be underestimating me. I’ve never won a title before and now that I have the chance to become champ for me and all my punks. She’d have to kill me to pin me 1 2 3.
Christy Hemme: So do you have a game plan for this match then?
Ashley Massaro: My game plan is plain and simple and that is to wrestle my fucking heart out. I’ve never been in such great shape and never had passion like this before. All of the training I’ve done, the countless hours are hopefully going to pay off tonight. I have everything to win but also everything to lose. I need to prove myself and show others that I’m not just some model, and if I lose people will just be calling me and my little winning streak a fluke.
Ashley paused looking down to the ground she clenched her fist tightly and looked back up.
Ashley Massaro: When I was a little girl, I dreamed of being a champion. And not everyone gets the chance to possibly live out their dreams. I am so grateful that I’ve been given a chance to wrestle anyway. But I want to live my dream now. I want that title so god damn bad and this match won’t be just a small battle. I’m going out for a war Christy. So Layla if I were you I’d kiss that belt and hold it close because your time is running out.
Christy and her camera crew walked away. As they left Ashley back to warming up for her match, throwing some punches in the air. Ashley stopped and stood there for a few moments thinking, they quickly went into her bag bringing out her phone typing away. She simply typed;
I'm Ready.
