We open up on Jayson Matthews sitting Indian style on top of the kitchen table. His arms are outstretched and his eyes shut as he falls deep into concentration. Johnny Rotten just rolls his eyes as his tag team partner starts to hum. He shakes his head and takes a gulp of his beer.
“Your never going to do it.”
Jayson opens an irritated eye.
“Be quiet dude! I need full concentration in order to reach enlightenment.”
Johnny chuckles.
“Pfft, full concentration. You can’t even stop and think. I swear your attention span runs out quicker then a hair spray bottle on the Jersey Shore.”
Jayson glares at his partner but before he could respond, Steve Awesome and Kelly Knite come walking into the room with car keys in her hand and her purse in the other.
“….look. You said I could do whatever I wanted this week, did you not?”
Steve nods his head.
“Well this is what I want to do.”
“That’s all well and good Kelly, but I don’t understand why I can’t come with you. Sort of defeats the whole purpose of me spending more time with you.”
Kelly places her finger on her chin as if that thought hadn’t occurred to her.
“Hmmm……you don’t say….”
She grabs for the doorknob.
“Come on Kelly, why can’t I tag along with you? You wont even know I’m there I promise. I’ll be like a fly on the wall.”
“If only I had a giant fly swatter….”
Kelly says under her breath.
“What was that?”
“I said, it wouldn’t matter. For the past four weeks I’ve done nothing but cook, clean, and take care of Ryleigh while you’ve been out attending parties and meetings. I just want a little time to myself. Is that too much to ask?”
Steve sighs.
“Your right Kelly. Your totally right. I guess I’ve been a little selfish lately. You know what, go out and have fun. You deserve it.”
A giant smile forms on her face and it melts the Face of the Franchise’s heart.
“You mean it? I’m free to go, without you tagging along.”
This time it’s Steve’s turn to smile.
“Yup. Have a blast.”
And with that, Kelly grabs the rest of her things and bails out the door. Johnny and Jayson just stand in there places and they look at Steve.
“Follow her.”
Johnny nods his head and grabs his own car keys from his pants pocket. Jayson holds up an index finger.
“Hold on, I’m almost enlightened…”
Johnny rolls his eyes and grabs Jayson by the collar.
“Will you just come on!”
Fade on Johnny dragging Jayson out to the car.
The undeniable sound of a baby crying. Ryliegh’s crys echo throughout the house as she beckons for some form of attention. Steve Awesome hears it and he hits pause on the treadmill to go and investigate. He wasn’t that good when it came to figuring out what babies wanted, but since he was the only one left in the house, he was going to have to make due.
He travels down the hallway to Rylieghs room and he peeks in. There she was. The cute, innocent little bundle of joy. When she was quiet she was precious, but when she was loud and upset….you would think a war had broke off. She’s more and more like her mother each day. Steve walks into the room cautiously.
“Well what’s a matter with the baby?”
He says in that classic baby talk voice everyone does. Ryliegh just keeps on crying. Awesome rolls his eyes.
“Yeah, like she’s just going to tell me what’s wrong.”
He slaps his own forehead. He checks the clock. Kelly had fed her before she left. He sniffs the air….he wipes the sweat off his brow when he determines that she doesn’t need a change.
“If your not hungry or dirty…then what could it be?”
Steve reaches into the crib and picks her up slowly, making sure to cradle the head as he does so. He rocks her back and forth for a few moments and she stops crying. Steve looks amazed with himself.
“Wow….you just wanted some attention? Is that it? Who is a cute baby? Who is that cute baby? Ryliegh is! That’s right, Ryliegh is the cute baby.”
He tickles her belly and he gets a cute little baby giggle that melts everyones heart. Steve takes a seat on the rocking chair in the room and holds her down by his lap so he could look at her. He didn’t say much for the next couple seconds. He just couldn’t believe how precious she was.
“You’re a beautiful baby girl, Ryliegh. Did you know that? You got your mommy’s eyes, trust me when I say you’ll be beating guys off with a stick…..actually…I’ll beat the guys off of you with a stick, you just focus on being cute.”
Ryliegh makes a cute little baby sound that makes Steve laugh.
“Oh, so you already know your cute. Oh lord, we got another diva on our hands. Watch out Lady GaGa.”
He laughs out loud a bit but afterward he gets serious.
“I just want you to know, Ryliegh, that I would never ever put you or your mommy on the line like your old daddy did. Like your some type of prize, I mean you are, you’re the greatest gift anybody could ever get, but I just couldn’t do it. I could never put myself in a position where I could lose you or mommy. Even if I knew it was a shoe in. Even if I was facing the worst wrestler in the worst predicament ever. That’s right, I wouldn’t even put you on the line even if I were facing Joe Everyman after he lost two arms in a wood chipper, no I wouldn’t. Because you never know what could happen and I wouldn’t gamble with the people I love. That’s what your old daddy did.”
He shakes his head in disgust.
“He let his pride get in the way of his heart. He put you on the line and told me that he would do anything to make sure mommy and you stayed with him. Well I guess he didn’t mean it when he said it, because here you are with me and I couldn’t be any happier. But it’s a blessing in disguise. Because this is a life you can grow up in and not have to worry. You might not really understand it right now, but your living with the Face of the Franchise. I’m New Championship Wrestling’s whole life, just like you’re my whole life. I promise to make sure you get all the best of everything. But most importantly Ryliegh, I promise to love you the way your old daddy didn’t. Unconditionally.”
He looks down and notices her sleeping on his lap. He leans forward and gives her a kiss and carefully sets her back in her crib.
“You know something Adam? I think it’s cute that you want to beat me up, I really do. It shows that your trying desperately to atone for the mistakes you’ve made as a father and a husband. But there’s one thing you need to realize, one thing that you need to get through your prehistoric skull. You lost. I won. The fat lady has been singing her heart out but you just can’t let it go. You thought it was just so damn impossible for me to beat you that you were willing to wager your entire family , but you lost. Lets not get into details here Adam, the fact remains that you lost. And now you want to come out to the ring stomping your feet and bitching and moaning and throwing a hissy fit because you suddenly realized that you made the biggest mistake of your life. You weasel your way into my title match, with the pure intent on bludgeoning me to my own death. To beat me so bad I can’t even remember my own name. To win the world title right out from under me. Well if that’s what you wanna do Adam…all I have to say is…Good luck.”
He smirks into the camera.
“Go ahead and get your revenge, Adam. Win the Survival match and become the next world champion. It won’t bother me none. Beat me into a bloody pulp, beat me to within an inch of my life, I want you too. I hope when you do it, it makes you feel better. I hope you feel the rush of adrenaline as you bash my nose into my face. I hope the hair on your neck stands up on ends when you feel the energy of the crowd cheering your name as you hold up the world title. I hope you get all you ever wanted out of this match because when you go home, wash yourself up and snuggle up into bed…..you’ll still be alone. And when you turn on your TV the next day and you see me, and I look I just got hit by a frieght train and I’m limping a little and every time I breathe it hurts, but there’s STILL a smile on my face and I’m still happy, you’ll realize that your little revenge fantasies didn’t do a damn thing. So do what you gotta do Adam, beat me up until your little heart is content. But it’s not going to do what you want it to do. Because I’ll still have Kelly. I’ll still have Ryliegh and you’ll still be all by yourself. So if your having girl problems I feel bad for you son….”
He stands up from the chair.
“…I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one."
Deuces.
“Your never going to do it.”
Jayson opens an irritated eye.
“Be quiet dude! I need full concentration in order to reach enlightenment.”
Johnny chuckles.
