"Izzy you work too much" Adam said happily putting his arm around her.
"Adam you flirt too much" Izzy replied elbowing him in the gut, Adam knew better. He watched her closely as she jotted things down in her little black book. It was tatty, it's binds coming undone, her handwriting, scrawly and in note form was throughout the pages. She did this occassionally just stopped doing something to jot something down. It was her job, Adam guessed. Isabella Brooks, the 5"6 woman when wearing boots, always working her ass off. Dating wasn't an option since her last divorce, she couldn't seem to wanna date anyone else than her highschool boyfriend now highly respected wrestler Mark Calaway. Adam had been trying to push her in the right direction but she wouldn't give any guy a chance. It wasn't that she wasn't good looking. A body very shapely with long brown curls and a 100 watt smile but she wouldn't give herself nor anyone else a chance. Izzy and Mark had ended on good terms, they were both too busy for each other, yet they worked at the same place. The real problem was Mark was in love with someone else, which Izzy was fine with and happily let him go.
Izzy was the WWE Storyline Manager. Her imagination ran wild with ideas and Mark pushed her towards the job. Vince and Steph was more than happy to take her on. It was the thing she loved the most in her life.
Adam was her best friend, well so were a lot of the wrestlers but she was closest to Adam and Glen. The divas on the other hand didn't like her so much. But she didn't care because she was all real no surgery and she didn't frankly give a damn what they thought.

Izzy ran into her office hearing nothing but two different dial tones. She groaned, typical Adam making her go out for lunch at the busiest time.
"Creative Writing Dep, Isabella speaking how may I help?"
It was Shane asking her questions, making her jot down details etc etc. The other phone was Stephanie asking to sit in on the board meeting about the storylines. After hanging up Izzy sighed, she had totally forgotten about the meeting this afternoon. She was so caught up in writing the damn thing let alone presenting it. She looked at the timetable and sighed, great Michelle McCool jsut what she needed. And by coincidence there she was knocking Izzy's door.
"Come in"
"Vince said I had to speak to you" Michelle asked closing the door behind her. Izzy nodded as Michelle sat down. Wow, this was gonna be hard..`But enjoyable' She thought with a smile.
"Well the other week you used AJ Styles finisher. A WWE staff member using a move from the opposing show which is currently tying with us on ratings.."
"And what has this got to do with you?" Michelle said with narrowed eyes.
"Because if it wasn't for this department, we wouldn't have ratings. Now people are looking at me for reasons why you did this when the script didn't mention any of this. Now Vince wants me to give this to you" Izzy said taking out a brown envelope and handing it to her. Michelle snatched it off her and opening it reading the contents.
"You can't do this" Michelle said blankly "This is because of Mark isn't it?"
Izzy could have died right there with laughter, Michelle watched as Izzy cried laughing.
"Your kidding right? Me and him ended it before the whole `him and sara' period. I think I'm over it"
"I don't care wait till Mark hears about this" Michelle said standing up hastily.
"Mark has been in this business for a hell of a long time. He knows the consequences I think he will understand"

Izzy finished presenting her new storyline idea to the board and stood against the wall exhalling relief., she never stopped getting nerves when presenting. Vince walked over to her afterwards with Stephanie with a smile.
"Again Izzy you never fail with great ideas" Vince said clapping her on the back "Now if you excuse me"
Stephanie hugged her friend with a smile.
"My father really thinks you've build a good foundation for the company " Stephanie mentioned as they walked down to the cafeteria.
"I hope I have, it's what I aim for" Izzy said as they got inline for food.
"Now off business, when will you come out with all of us?" Stephanie asked. Izzy shrugged, she was never a partier, teeny lie. She was a big partier until she decided to get serious and cut it out.
"Izzy we need to talk"
The deep voice rang throughout and Izzy almost didn't want to turn around. Her eyes met his and she cussed, always the same affect throughout the years.
"What do you want Mark?" Izzy asked and noted that Stephanie had left her in this awkward situation. She made a mental note to get her back later.
"Is the punishment for Michelle really fair?" Mark watched as Izzy paid for her coffee and they went to sit down.
"Mark you know better than anyone.."
"I know I know. Can't we just bend the rules a little?" Mark asked with a suggestive look in his eye. Izzy laughed out loud, the man could still always entertain her.
"What? Like sleep with the boss to get what you want? Ah think you've done that a few too many times"
Mark laughed and shook his head.
"Go out with me for dinner? Peace offerin"
"No, you know I don't have the time" Izzy said shaking her head. She didn't wanna fall back into that trap.
"Me neither that's why we need to make time" Mark mentioned with a nod "We need to catch up"
"That's not a good idea and you know it isn't Mark" Izzy warned but her tone came out as if she was pleading.
"Just us going out as friends, c'mon now you don't wanna hurt big ole me by sayin you ain't my friend no more" Mark said with a sniff.
"Fine one dinner but somewhere cheap so we can't even begin to class it as something it's not"
"Deal. I'l grab my truck and we'll go to Burger King sound good?"
"Sounds great" Izzy said with a smile.
Now she just needed to make sure she didn't get caught up in what could have beens.
