Chapter 1: Introduction
Dirt Sheet taping
"You sure you will be okay?" John asked lowering his sunglasses down to look at his manager who had sat down in one of the director's chairs that were sitting off screen. "Mhmm, I will be just fine. Besides I have a book I can read while ya'll are doing this." She held up the thick book and smiled. She didn't need them to entrain them like Kelly Kelly had or Layla had. And they both had found it a nice change.
"Seriously. Go do your show. I will be right here reading." Carmi said giving him and Mike who joined them a smile. "See she is fine." Mike said handing a cup of coffee. 'You are saint Mike, a saint." Mike laughed and patted the top of her head before going over to his seat. She shook her head and took a sip of the hot coffee.
John watched her for a minute before going over and sitting down in his chair. Carmi glanced up at the duo and shook her head. It had been a long few months with her managing them over MVP and her longtime friend Matt Hardy.
She had went through series of changes that she wasn't so sure she liked. She went from wearing comfortable clothing like jeans and t-shirts to clothes that clung to every curve of her body. And she wore make up then she had worn in all the years she had been a diva. Something that her long time friends hated. She wasn't the pretty girl type. She was the rough and tumble, you fight them you fight me too kind of girl. But she had to admit that she did end up having a lot of fun when she was out with them.
When she went out with her family, she was protected and it was almost not worth it to go out and do anything. But with Mike and John she was able to go out and do things. It had become a competition between Carmi and Mike to see how many numbers they could get in the short hours they were at the club. And usually thanks to her southern charm and good lucks Carmi came out a head and it frustrated the hell out of Mike. So much so that Melina, John's on again off again girlfriend pointed out that he should just stop and make Carmi his and that way he wouldn't keep having this problem.
The chick magnet who usually had a retort for everything was stunned into silence. Even Carmi who heard the tail end of the conversation was stunned. She hadn't thought anything different about her relationship with Mike. In away he had replaced Shannon as her best friend. But of course either one of them said anything about the comment from Melina. Instead they carried on like they didn't have a care in the world.
Feeling eyes on her, Carmi looked up from the same spot of the book she was reading and looked at the tag team champions. "What?" She asked raising her eyebrow. "Nothing lets go Sunshine. We got stuff to do." Mike said as John held his held out to Carmi to help her out of the chair.
She took his hand and got out of her chair. "What do we have to do?" "Don't worry your pretty little head about Carmi." Mike said, "Don't worry at all."
