Title: When Reality Strikes

Once we get back to the arena I follow Mark down to catering. I get my plate of food and try to find a place to sit. Mark surprisingly didn't ask me to sit with him so I'm left to fend for myself. When I see Amy and Trish waving I turn around assuming they are waving at another diva. When I turn back around their pointing at me so I walk over to them. " Hi I'm Amy and this is Trish why don't you sit down and join us?" I happily sit down to join them. "Hi I'm a big fan of both of you. I've only had the chance to meet a few people so far. My name is Erica."

" So I heard your Mark's new P.A. how has it been going? He has a reputation of being a little harsh." I start laughing at their worried expressions. " I think if you were to ask him what P.A. meant he would say pain in the ass but I'm handling the big guy pretty well so far." We all sit there for a while just chatting and its really nice. Trish leans over the table. " Listen I know you're new here so I don't want you to take offence to this but there are some rumors going around that you slept with Glenn for this job. After talking with you I don't think you're the type to sleep with a guy just for a job. Now on the other hand if you just slept with Glenn because you felt like it then all I have to say is you have great taste in men." We all start to laugh. "Well I'm glad you brought it up to me instead of just assuming. Some other people around here should learn not to jump to conclusions." Amy looks at me. " I'm guessing you mean by some people you mean Mark." I nod my head at her.

"Anyway to set the record straight I won tickets backstage for Wrestlemania and my friend that was with me mentioned to Glenn how I am a personal assistant and he thought it would be a great idea if I worked with Mark. I told him not to say anything but I guess you've realized he didn't and here I am. As for sleeping with Glenn I haven't but if I had I wouldn't be complaining." When they both stop laughing I have a feeling why. " Let me guess The Lord of Darkness is behind me?" I made sure to say it loud enough so he would hear me. I wink at the girls and turn around in my seat to look at him. " Is there something I can assist you with?"

" Once my match is over I want to leave so make sure all of my stuff is packed and in the car so we can leave. I am going to shower at the hotel." I look at him for a second then start laughing. " I'm sorry I think you must have me confused with someone. I'm your personal assistant not your servant. You don't order me around." I stand up out of my chair and glare up at him. " I'm your boss so you do as I say or I will fire you." I let out a little chuckle. " You can't do that." The look in his eyes is just daring for me to go on. " I can do whatever the hell I want." I poke him in the chest and he takes a step back. " The only person that can fire me is Vince McMahon and he has given me permission to yell at you if I see fit. And right now I sure as hell feel the need to yell. I am going to tell you how tonight is going to go down. You will have your match and then you will come back to the locker room and pack up your own stuff and you will also put it in the car. Then we will go to the hotel where you will also bring your bags up to your room yourself. Got it?"

He is so red from anger right now that I think his head is going to explode into a million pieces. " Has anyone ever told you that you're a total bitch?" I flip my hair over my shoulder. "Honey I've been called a lot worse by men bigger then you and you know what I do to them?" He crosses his arms over his chest. " What?" I turn back to the girls for a second and tell them I will see them later then I turn back to Mark. " This is what I do." I stick both middle fingers in his face and walk away. I don't know who the hell he thinks he is but the last time I checked the name God doesn't come after Mark.

I walk back to his locker room and go in. Luckily Glenn isn't in here so I sit on the couch to calm down. I start rubbing at my temples because I have a headache now. When the door slams against the wall five seconds later I groan. " Don't you ever talk to me like that again. Do you understand me?" I look up at Mark. " Have we not been through this? I'm not some woman that is going to fall at your feet and do as you say. I do my job and I do it well. If you don't like me personally deal with it, you don't see me bitching and moaning about how much I can't stand you. By the looks of it at the end of the trial basis you will make sure my ass is gone so can't you at least cut me some slack till then?" I close my eyes and lean back against the couch. It's been one day and I feel so emotionally drained. I'm not normally an angry bitchy person but he brings out the worst in me.

I hear him sigh and I feel the couch dip as he sits down. " Can you look at me please?" I open my eyes and look at him. " All right I will make you a deal till the end of the month we both try to be on our best behavior. Once the month is up you leave gracefully. I will make sure Vince pays you well. We don't have to try and be friends. We work together and that's it. Deal?" I think it over for a second and lean over to shake his hand. How hard can it be right? As I shake his hand I can't help but feel as if I just made a deal with the devil.
