Monday September 5, 2011 – Backstage in Columbus, Ohio

"Can you believe those two are together?"

"Wait, they are?"

Barbie looked at me and handed me her unfinished bag of pretzels. I took them and reached in to grab one. She didn't answer me for a second and I figured she was waiting until they left the area. When they finally did she nodded and I wasn't necessarily surprised.

"It all happened after SummerSlam. I think it's disgusting," she said.

I shrugged my shoulders. "You love who you love."

"You're not bothered by this?"

"Why would I be? He's happy and I'm happy. That's how it should be."

"You hate Nikki."

"I don't hate her I just don't like her very much."

"Well you put Nikki and Nick together and that's just a bad combo for you."

"Barbie, I haven't spoken to Nick in weeks. I'm fine with them being together again."

"I feel like he's using her though."

"Hey, if he is then it's her fucking fault. Because as I like to say if a guy fools you once he's a jerk but if he fools you twice you're the jerk."

"I still can't believe you haven't talked to him."

"What am I going to do, ya know? It's just the way things are. Now if you'll excuse me I have a match to get ready for."

I headed out of catering and down the hall to the Divas locker room. I threw on my denim jean shorts (that were too overly tight but Barbie says they show off my ass, great) and my black varsity jacket to support Air Boom. My hair was already straightened and my makeup was perfection. I put on my Nike shoes that apparently go well with my ensemble and walked back out of the room.

Punk and Paul were having a long promo to start off Raw and right after Air Boom was facing The Great Khali and Jinder Mahal to kick off the matches for the night. Tomorrow I was heading to SmackDown with Barbie for she had a match against Natalya and Air Boom had their rematch against Khali and Mahal. I didn't think I was going to head to Asheville for my two days off because I was in need of heading to LA to do laundry, clean, and repack for another week and a half worth of shows and what not. It would also be nice to catch up with Maryse before I'm gone from LA.

"Hey!" A voice shouted and I turned around to see Nick. Oh God, I hope he isn't talking to me.

I looked around and noticed that I was the only one in this hallway. Why would he want to talk to me?

"You can pretend you don't know me," he said. "But I've seen you naked."

I stopped and turned to face him. "Nick, it's so nice to see you. It seems that you're still making things awkward as ever."

He smirked and his Dolph Ziggler persona showed throughout him. He was cocky and annoying. "I figured we should talk."

"And what do you want to talk about?"

"Well for starters that spear you gave me the other night was a little overboard. You could have gone a little lighter on me."

I squinted my eyes at him. "I never pictured you as a wimp."

He shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not, but coming from you that was rough."

I rolled my eyes. "Do you have something else to tell me or are you just going to keep criticizing the way I wrestle?"

"I just wanted to say good luck."

"Good luck with what?"

"Adam," he said casually. "You two are perfect for each other."

I'm not quite sure if Nick meant it in a nice way but the way it came out of his mouth was entirely different. The way it flowed from his lips made it sounded as if he was saying it out of spite. I know things weren't great between Nick and I and I knew that. But I wasn't going out of my way to talk to him or say that he and Nikki are the worst couple in the history of the world. It's better if he and I just kept our comments to ourselves.

"So are you and Nikki."

"Don't bring her into this."

"Don't bring Adam into this. From what I understand you and I were together. Why you're being so hateful and rude is beyond me. I'm sorry that I hurt you. But, the past is the past let's leave it at that." Nick sighed and stuck his hand out. I stared at it for a second and shook it. "Are we good?"

He nodded. "We're good, Millie."

"Okay, good luck on your match and I'll see you around. And don't scream ever again that you've seen me naked. It's really not that necessary."

He smirked again. "I'll hold it against you forever."

"Yeah, I figured you would."

"Millie!"

I turned around to see Matt standing at the end of the hallway. That's right I had two guys I needed to escort to the ring! Whoops! I faced Nick and smiled once and ran down the hallway to meet up with Matt. He pulled me along to the gorilla position and we arrived just in time. This past house show in New Jersey was the real set up to see how the fans reacted to Matt and I getting closer to each other. This whole thing was sort of like MNM, with John, Melina and Joey a few years ago. Instead Matt and I weren't actually dating like John and Melina were. Plus, Air Boom is more awesome.

"Let's kick some ass tonight," I said.

"I love the attitude," Kofi stated.

The match wasn't half bad. It seemed like the fans were getting used to Air Boom and they cheered a lot and started chants. The fans also liked when Evan Bourne couldn't keep his eyes off of me. He was staring at me like a googely eyed love struck teenager and Kofi had to laugh and hit him lightly on the side of the head to get him to snap out of it. I was trying my hardest to not be one of those annoying mangers, like Vickie Guerrero. Vickie is a saint outside of the ring and she's more of a mother figure to most of the Divas. But everyone knows when she screams "Excuse Me!" nothing good is going to come out of it. I was Millie the cool manager who wore an Air Boom jacket and cheered them on like a fan would. If Creative pushed me to turn on them or be annoying as fuck I would say hell to the no.

"Come on bitch, let's go," Barbie said to me about an hour later. She was standing in front of me with her bags obviously ready to go. I nodded my head, stood up, and grabbed my own.

"I'll drive!" I shouted and she threw me the car keys.

After we put all our bags into the car and were settled I waited for Barbie to plug in our destination (Toledo, Ohio) into the GPS.

"It says we'll get there in two and a half hours."

"Let's hope that's right," I replied as I pulled out of the parking spot. I waved to Eve and Alicia Fox who were getting into their rental car and pulled out of the parking lot.

Barbie and I always try and have the best time while we are in route to our next location. We'll play the ABC game where you have to get all the letters of the alphabet from road signs, let me tell ya that one can get pretty competitive. We'll play twenty questions in which I'm always victorious. But tonight we were listing the best things in life. We had already decided that accidently overhearing someone saying something nice about you, singing in the shower, hot chocolate, and Starbucks were some of the things that make life the best.

"I got one, making cupcakes, cookies, or brownies."

I laughed. "That would be Maryse's number one."

"I know! What about first kisses?"

"And holding hands with someone you care about."

She nodded. "Waking up and realizing you still have a few hours left to sleep."

"Yes, and also sleeping in."

"I think that's one thing about living my life before becoming a Diva that I miss. You actually got to sleep."

"I know I feel like I haven't had a goodnight sleep in over seven years."

Barbie laughed and said, "Me too, Millie, me too."

"Whenever I'm with Adam, that's when I sleep well."

"Same for me with Sheldon," she replied.

I leaned back in my seat and sighed. "Want to cuddle tonight?"

"Absolutely, but let's stop at the rest stop coming up. I could really go for some candy."

"Good idea B."

I pulled into the rest stop and we got out of the car and walked in to buy our candy. We ended up running into Natalya and Beth who were stopping for some soda and we talked to them for a few minutes. Toledo, Ohio wasn't far after that we got there in exactly two and a half hours. We checked into our hotel and both did our respective things when we got into the room.

While Barbie was in the bathroom I called Adam to say goodnight like he had asked me to a couple hours ago. We didn't talk long but he made it a point to tell me how much he missed me. When I was in the bathroom I heard Barbie on the phone and I knew she was talking to Sheldon. I guess in a way it was good for she and I to both be in this situation. It wasn't like Barbie was always upset about not seeing Sheldon because I was just as upset about not seeing Adam.

I crawled into the bed next to Barbie and turned off the light.

"I have another best thing in life."

"What?" She asked.

"Knowing that somebody misses you," I said.

"I love you M."

"You too B," I replied and closed my eyes hoping to fall asleep.
