"Hey, sleepy head." I hear Chelle say. "Get up."

"Do I have to?" I say.

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Eve, Ryse, and I made chocolate chip pancakes."

"Okay." I say. "I guess."

"Good. Did you talk to Randy last night?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"He seemed moody this morning."

"Oh. Are you telling me that he's moody because of me?"

"It's an idea."

"I decided instead of seducing him, I'll not pay much attention to him. He'll know how it feels."

"That's evil. I like it."

"Is he here right now?"

"Yeah. So is Cami and the kid. His name is Vance."

"Cool. After eating, I need Eve and Ryse in here with us."

"Why?"

"Team meeting."

I walk downstairs with Chelle and go to grab some pancakes. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Randy stop talking to Cami and start looking at me. I sit at the table with Chelle. Eve, Tyler, Ryse, and Ted are also eating at the table.

"Hi, Tyler, Ted, Ryse, and Eve." I say.

"Hi." They all say.

"Eve, Ryse, I need you guys upstairs with me and Chelle after breakfast."

"Okay." Eve says.

"After we wash dishes." Ryse says.

"Okay." I say.

"I'll wash dishes." Ted says. "You girls can have your team meeting or whatever this is."

"Thanks, Ted." All four of us say.

"No problem."

Tyler waves at me before getting up. "I have to get going to work. See you guys later."

"Bye!" Everyone says.

"So…" Ted says quietly just so everyone at the table can hear. "What's up with Randy?"

"I'm not giving him attention so he knows what it feels like." I whisper back.

"Oh. Okay."

We finish eating, and the girls and I head to my room upstairs.

I shut and lock the door. "Chelle, do you have Angelina Love's phone number?"

"Yeah." Chelle says. "Why?"

"Because Kharma wrestled in TNA as Awesome Kong, and Angelina Love was one of the two women to ever defeat her for the TNA Knockouts Championship."

"Who was the other?" Eve asks.

"Taylor Wilde." I pull out the paper I wrote Taylor Wilde's phone number on. "Gail Kim gave me her number last night. But I figured Angelina would be easier to get ahold of."

"Good point." Ryse says.

"I'll call and put her on speaker." Chelle says before calling Angelina and putting her phone on the bed.

"Hello, Michelle." Angelina says. "How are you? Heads up, you're on speaker, and I'm with Velvet, Lacey, and Madison."

"Hi, Angelina. I'm good. You're also on speaker. I'm with Marissa, Eve, and Maryse."

"Wait…" I hear Velvet Sky say. "We're basically communicating with the Divas of Domination through Angelina's phone. And they made the call?"

"Yeah basically." I say.

"Oh my god." I hear Madison Rayne's voice. "That was Marissa."

"And you're Madison Rayne." Maryse says.

"Hi, Ryse!" I hear Lacey Von Erich say.

"Hi, Lacey!"

"Hi, Velvet. By the way." Eve says.

"Hi, Eve! How are you?" Velvet asks.

"Good."

"Ladies…" Angelina says. "We can catch up with each other later. Obviously the Divas of Domination called us for a reason. Is it a challenge to an eight woman Tag Team match?"

"Sadly, Angelina, no." I say. "We called because we need your help with something."

"What is it?"

"We need advice on taking on Kharma or as you know her, Awesome Kong."

"Oh. There's lots of things you would need to know. We can't do this over the phone."

"Then what can we do?" Ryse asks.

"Well, I live in Saint Louis now, and Marissa lives in Saint Louis too. We could meet up somewhere."

"The rest of us are staying with her right now." Eve says. "We can all meet up with you."

"Okay. We can do it this weekend."

I hear some talking in the background of her phone.

"Wait!" Madison says. "Angelina, we're going to stay with you this weekend."

"Did you just invite yourselves to my house this weekend?"

"Basically." Velvet says.

"Yeah." Lacey says. "That way we can all meet up with the Divas of Domination."

"Okay." Angelina says. "Marissa, do you know where the I-Hop is on Main Street?"

"Yes I do." I say.

"We'll meet you there at nine A.M. Saturday morning for breakfast and a meeting. Okay?"

"Okay."

"Good. See you guys then. Bye."

"Bye!" Lacey, Velvet, and Madison say.

"Bye!" Maryse, Eve, Chelle, and I say.

Angelina hangs up.

"So…" Eve says. "We're meeting up with the Beautiful People at I-Hop to get advice on Kharma?"

"Yeah." Ryse says.

"Cool."

"How do you know Velvet?" I ask.

"We auditioned for the same Diva Search."

"Oh. Ryse, I forgot Lacey was in developmental with you for a while."

Ryse laughs. "Everyone does. How does Chelle know Angelina?"

"Also developmental." Chelle says. "Rissa knew her just a little too."

"I did." I say. "So…we're getting somewhere on beating Kharma."

"Good." The other three say.

We head back downstairs. Randy and Vance are gone. John and Cody have joined Ted in the living room. Cami is still in there. I roll my eyes. The girls greet their respective significant others. I sit on the couch.

"So…" Ted says when he is done greeting Maryse. "What was the team meeting about?"

"Yeah." John says. "I want to know too."

"I'm curious to know as well." Cody says.

"Beating Kharma." I say.

"Wait. You have a plan for her?"

"Not quite yet. But we will soon."

"Then why was the meeting so long?" Ted asks.

"Because we have to do a few things before we can strategize."

"Like what?"

"Have breakfast with the Beautiful People at I-Hop on Saturday."

"Why?"

"So they can tell us everything we need to know about Kharma."

"Wait…" John says. "The Beautiful People from TNA? They're coming to Saint Louis just to meet with you guys for a breakfast to talk about Kharma?"

"Yes," Chelle says. "The Beautiful People from TNA. And Angelina Love lives in Saint Louis anyways."

"Oh. Good."

Cami rolls her eyes. "Ugh. I don't know who this Kharma chick is. But she'll probably still kick all of your asses. I haven't seen these two wrestle." She points at Eve and Ryse. "But I have seen Marissa and Michelle wrestle, and you aren't good. So I'm assuming that these two can't wrestle either. You're wasting your time talking to these Beautiful People who probably aren't beautiful. Kharma will still kick your asses."

"When did you see me and Michelle wrestle?" I ask.

"When I was with Randy."

"And banging René Dupree at the same time behind his back?" I laugh. "That was six years ago. We both got a lot better, and Eve and Ryse can wrestle. And you talk a lot of crap about my wrestling abilities. You've never stepped foot inside a wrestling ring. So shut up. We could kick your ass when it comes down to it. And those Beautiful People who probably aren't beautiful, they could too. And you might wanna remember whose house you are staying in."

"Randy's. My ex boyfriend who apparently got a downgrade from me. Not like it matters. He pays more attention to me anyways." She laughs. "And your brother wants me to be nice to you. Neither him or Randy will notice if I'm not anyways. They're both wrapped around my fingers and drooling over me. I almost feel bad that your husband pays more attention to another woman than you. Obviously he still has feelings for me."

"Really? He kept you around because he thought you were good in bed. At least Randy put a ring on my finger."

"I gave him a child."

"Sweetheart, you're not the only one. Plus, I could too."

"Oh really? Who else has a kid with him?"

"Samantha Speno. You should've seen her. She was at the wedding with hers and Randy's daughter."

Cami scoffs. "Whatever. I'll be in my room." She heads upstairs.

The other six look at me.

"What?" I ask.

"Good job, Bro." Ted says.

"Thanks."

"How much are we betting that she's gonna try to get between you and Randy?" Chelle says.

"A lot."

"She's probably going to say some crap about you to Randy and Tyler." Cody says.

"Probably. But if Randy or Tyler confronts me about it, I'll handle it."

"Okay."

"So…" Ryse says as she sits on the edge of the bed with me. "He didn't even acknowledge that you were wearing lingerie?"

"Not at all." I reply.

"That's so unlike him. The bitch is in his head."

I sigh. "I know."

"That's so stupid."

"Yeah."

"How about next week we go do something?"

"We?"

"Just you and me."

"What do you wanna do?"

"Well if you know of any good stores that sell wedding dresses, I wanna look at them. We could also go to a club."

I shrug. "Works for me."

"Yay!"

"Ready to see the Beautiful People?"

"Yes. I'm so excited."

"Me too."

"Well…I'm gonna go back to my room and be with Ted. Bye."

"Bye. Don't have sex too loud."

She laughs. "We won't. I promise."

I sit alone thinking to myself.

Randy doesn't have feelings for Cami. Does he? No. She's with Tyler. Randy just pays attention to her because of Vance. He's still in love with me. He didn't check in on me yet. He's probably just busy with the kid. Ugh. I like the kid, but his mom's a bitch. But I know someone I do like here in Saint Louis.

Me: Hey wanna go out for coffee tomorrow morning? I gotta fill you in on some things.

Sam: Yeah. Does 8:30 work?

Me: Sure.
