~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Thursday August 18th, 2011 (Athena's POV)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Val had wanted me to hold my leather jacket in front while she introduced me.
"My guest tonight was here once before. Can you guess who she is from this very stylish coat?" Val asked.
"It's one half of our lovely tag team champions Athena Sawyer." Val said.
"Welcome to another edition of pillow talk lingerie edition." Val said.
"Val it's great to be back. You know I'm tickled to be back here. It also gives me a chance to try out my new lingerie." I said with a smile.
"I know. It's beautiful where did you get it?" Val asked. It was a simple bra with a pair of boy shorts.
"It's called a Chloe Push Up Bra and the panties are called Chloe Hipster. I ordered them online at lingerie dot com." I said.
"I may have to go order a pair of my own." Val said with a smile. I smiled.
"So everyone has been buzzing asking questions. My first question is normally one JB would probably ask on Spin Cycle but do you have a twitter account?" Val asked.
"Yeah. You could find me on the sites twitter feed because I tweet every once in a while. But for those of you who don't feel like going to find me its atSawyerOwlStackhouse. Before you ask Sawyer is obviously my last name, an owl is the Greek Goddess Athena's animal, and well I'm one of those people who like to look. Stackhouse as in Jason Stackhouse from True Blood. I'm a sucker for tall guys." I said with a smile.
"Well I guess I'll have to follow you. That brings me to my next question. What is your preference in guys?" Val asked.
"Well I like them tall, with a nice body, but otherwise I don't have a hair color or eye color preference. Though I do sort of lean toward varying shades of blonde." I said as I help up my jacket again before I put it back on my lap.
"You don't seem very picky. I mean being a former model I figured you'd have a pickier taste in guys." Val said. That had me letting out a slight chuckle.
"Just because I'm a model doesn't mean I'm superficial. Val what I really like in a guy is that he knows how to take care of me. He'll want to protect me even if I don't need it." I said. It was possibly what had drawn me to Tommy. He wants to lock me in a box and not let me out after all of my daring escapades.
"On your man what is your favorite part, Athena remember keep it clean." Val said. I smiled.
"You mean I have to pick one? My favorite part on him I prefer out of everything above the belt I adore his upper arms. It just gives me a sense that I can hold onto something." I said with a smile.
"Very interesting. Now say this is before you were in your current relationship and for those of you who haven't figured out who she's dating its Crimson. Now before him what made your heart flutter on the first date?" Val asked. I laughed.
"It's the same thing that got me hooked on Crimson. A guy who remembers what chivalry is. I want a guy who opens the door, who pulls the seat out for me, who'll get a dinner tab but I can still pick it up every once in a while, and most importantly a guy who wants to protect me. I mean what girl doesn't want a knight in shining armor?" I asked.
"So it's not the size of a guy's bank account?" Val asked.
"No. Guys who think that women will love him because of his bank account makes me sick. Austin Aries I'm talking to you buddy." I said.
"What is one of your pet peeves?" Val asked.
"Don't get me started. A guy who tries to pass of my birthday present as the same present for Valentine's Day." I answered.
"Your birthday is on Valentine's Day? I can see where that's a pet peeve." Val said. I nodded my head.
"Now going back to your twitter name you said you like Jason Stackhouse is there any other guy be they from TV or the movies that you have fantasies about?" Val asked.
"You're going to get me in trouble. Also from True Blood there's Alcide, there's also Dean Winchester from Supernatural contrary to what Sasha said I saw him first, um Greg Sanders from CSI: Las Vegas, King from Blade Trinity, Tony Stark from Iron Man and Iron Man 2, Perseus from Clash of the Titans the 2010 one, Marcus from Terminator Salvation, Reaper from DOOM, Black Hat from Priest, and Sam Flynn from Tron Legacy to name a few. Anymore and I might be in trouble. Though I suggest for those of you who haven't seen Priest go rent it, buy it, I don't know what you do but you should see it. I took my dad to see it for Father's Day and I loved it. Day it came out I went and bought it." I said.
"There are some hotties in that list. Do you have any pets?" Val asked. I nodded my head.
"Crimson bought me this little orange tabby kitten just because. She's adorable. She's orange on top with white on her underside. Her name is Demeter- no it's not. That was the name of my childhood cat. Her name is Aphrodite. Though she's nothing like the goddess. I misplaced her earlier this week. Crimson was in the kitchen when he suddenly said he found my cat. I walk into the kitchen and she's standing on his shoulder. She had jumped from the fridge onto his shoulder. I've learned she does that. She stands on the cabinets, fridge, bookcases and jumps onto our shoulders or heads whichever se aims for." I said.
"She sounds like a handful." Val said.
"You have no idea." I said.
"What is your worst present you've ever received?" Val asked. I shook my head.
"Don't get me started. It was my twenty-first birthday. The guy I was dating didn't give me my present until we were alone. He got me a blow up doll. Needless to say he and his doll friend were on the sidewalk the same day." I said.
"Oh my gosh. That is a horrible gift." Val said.
"You have no idea." I said.
"You don't talk very much about your personal life but did you go to school?" Val asked.
"Val, I may be a model but I'm smart. I went to the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor and got myself a business degree. I could run a business if I wanted to. I also went to Northern Michigan University in Marquette for Culinary Arts/Chef Training. I could run and cook in my own restaurant like my dad. Who jumped the barricade last week." I said.
"Wow. You are impressive. Now we all know wrestlers are pranksters. You share a locker room with your sister and brother have they ever pranked you?" Val asked.
"Well lately we've all been to tense to really mess around. Me I've been focused on the ODB/Jackie feud I had, the Bound For Glory Series, and defending my title. Colton's been focused on Velvet's problems and his own career, and Devon well she started with the Bound For Glory Series, defending our titles, but she's moved on to making sure Matt is okay. We also have to focus on our parents' divorce. The Thursday after Slammiversary Colton, Velvet, Devon, and I walk into the locker room and there are flowers. Lilies and orchids and I was thinking they were from Crimson. I wish. It turned out to be from Rosita and Sarita. A little bit later Lee shows up and he's got a box for me. I was thinking it's still from Crimson. It was an exact replica of the bra I had worn on Sunday except it was lace. I threw it across the room because it was from ODB." I said.
"Well that wasn't necessarily the nicest thing but its part of what you do." Val said.
"I've learned that. I mean we all have our days. I've had good days and bad days but it's something I'm used to." I said.
"You've been hanging around with Mickie James lately can we see a possible tag team coming on?" Val asked. I shrugged.
"Val anything is possible. I mean right now I like hanging out with Mickie. She's great to talk to because she's been having a week like mine and we just sort of connect. It also helps that she's working against Angelina Love and Winter. I've had issues with them going back to the beginning of my career." I said.
"Speaking of how is it wrestling in heels? We've seen you get in brawls and do amazing things in heels." Val said.
"Val I try not to do it. I mean I was in heels in one of my brawls with ODB, I went to spear her and I ended tweaking my right ankle and when I nailed Winter with the superkick the only thing I was thinking about was making sure to nail her with the flat of my shoe because the heels were thin and long. I didn't want to hurt her. I don't feel comfortable wrestling in heels." I said with a shrug.
"I have to ask it's been looking at me all this time what is that ring on your right hand?" Val asked. I smiled.
"It's a promise ring. It's a promise that eventually Crimson and I will get married. There just isn't a date. I mean when he gave it to when I was having a bad day and he took me out. We get back and he brings this box out telling me not to jump to conclusions and I was confused when he opened it. He then explained that he thought I'd jump to conclusions when he opened the box that I thought we'd be getting engaged. I think we're totally not ready for it." I said.
"Aw. Do you want kids?" Val asked. I could feel the blush heating my cheeks.
"Yes at some point. I mean I've still got most of my life. I'm only 28." I said.
"I think you'll make beautiful kids." Val said. I smiled and looked down.
"You've gotten yourself in plenty of feuds which is your favorite?" Val asked.
"Hm. I think I liked the feud with Rosita and Sarita. I'm putting a nail in that coffin and asking for new competition." I said.
"What is your favorite scent?" Val asked.
"Candle or on a guy?" I asked.
"Both. Let's hear about the guy one first." Val replied. I smiled.
"You know I spend so much time with Crimson that before a match, after a match, doesn't really matter everything about him just sets me off in the right direction. If you get my drift Val." I said with a wink. Val fanned herself with her note cards.
"Oh my. What about a candle fragrance?" Val asked.
"I'm sort of torn actually. I like the smell of rose scented candles but I also like the grapefruit blossom kind." I replied.
"You have some great taste." Val said.
"I know. I try." I said with a smile.
"Well, I've got a final question for you. You seem like you've got some kind of military background to you. What is it?" Val asked. I smiled before I picked up the pendent that hung on the chain around my neck. It was a silver pendent with the Marine EGA on it.
"My dad was a Marine. A Staff Sergeant before he retired and opened his own restaurant. That's a part of me that I'll always love and I've found myself with Crimson who was in the Army. It's weird. I'm not complaining I have so much respect for the men and women who helped make this country what it is." I said.
"Interesting. Thanks for coming by Athena. It was great learning things about you we didn't know before." Val said.
"Thanks for having me." I said. Val closed out Pillow Talk and I put my jacket on. I then slipped into a pair of jeans and started to leave. I went to my locker room and grabbed my bag. I was leaving when I bumped into Austin Aries.
"What are you still doing here?" I asked.
"I could ask you the same question." He said.
"I was doing something for my job. Now get out of my way. I've got to get back to my hotel." I said as I walked around him. He'd come find me when Pillow Talk came out. He'd be pissed but I didn't really care. It was completely true. Even if he hadn't made moves on Brookelyn Gregory and Demi Kendrick. I liked the two of them. The thought of Austin made my stomach roll.
