One For The Road

A few days before the final show of the APW season, Laura sat in the Familia locker room, alone, the cell phone in her hand dangling slightly as she pondered the forthcoming conversation only moments away. It had been quite some time since she last spoke to this particular girlfriend, the feelings of anxiousness as well as nervousness filling her thoughts as she slowly began to dial the appropriate numbers.

Her fingers slid sporadically jumping from corresponding number to corresponding number effortlessly until each required digit was dialed into the phone. A long sigh ensues as she stands from the couch she sat motionless upon only seconds ago, placing a hand on her waist as her steps began to carry her towards the opposite side of the room, a smile already beginning to form on her face as her thoughts carried her back sometime, to another city, as well as thoughts of the brief yet enjoyable and beneficial time with this particular friend of hers. Before she could even release the school girl giggle caused by the memories, the phone on the opposite end was picked up. Without waiting for the voice to be heard, she chimed in, knowing that "she" would certainly know whom she was receiving a long overdue call from...

Long time no speak? Can't take time out from shopping the world away for an old girlfriend hm? *Giggles*

[~*Miss Silvia Banks*~]

John F. Kennedy International Airport.

The limousine had come to a complete stop at the curb, the sliding doors to her Terminal just a few feet away. Sunny Miami Florida was on her mind, until her phone jingled the infectious tune "Do you wanna be on Top?" She flips it open, tilting her head to one side and placing the receiver where appropriate. The voice on the other end instantly makes her smile. Who could ever forget that giggle of hers...

Time for you? Of course, sweetie. But I can say the same about you and Toronto, Love... *giggle* You should have called sooner. Tell me though, how have you been?

The door near her clicks open, the driver doing what is expected of him...

[Laura De'Icco]

Laura's steps continued on, finding herself in front of a full length mirror she kept in the Familia's locker room for egotistical purposes and the occasional gander at herself. She stands motionless, her eyes glancing over the status of her hair as one of her arms raises, her hand running through the length of the long dark brown strands before commenting with laughter in her voice...

Yea I know, I know...You're right. I should have. I'm truly sorry that I didn't. Would have been nice to have an extra girlfriend around during certain times this season that's for sure...

As for me?...Well...The usual of course. Taking care of the boys and seeing that they are the best that they can possibly be. Which you know as well as I, that is NEVER an easy task. Other than that?...

Within a millisecond her free arm had raised, her hand coming in contact with her one of her breasts if you will, a small kiss blew to her mirror image it seemed as she smiled brightly. Ego much?

Just being my fabulous self of course. *Giggles* ::)Though it is QUITE difficult to remain ladylike around some of the tramps running around APW like there's no tomorrow. And yourself? Still traveling much are you?

[~*Miss Silvia Banks*~]

That shouldn't even be a question, Love...

Her right heel makes contact with the asphault curbing. She hooks her bag, PRADA by the way , onto her left shoulder before the driver offers his hand to assist her out of the limousine. All the while she too drawn into the phone conversation to even thank the man. Well... he's getting paid nonetheless, so he'll live without seeing some gratitude for his gentlemanly act. A quick breeze blows by as she's exposed to the brisk New York evening air. Tiptoeing her way further from the limousine, she answers.

Actually, I'm en route to Miami. I'd like to enjoy summer weather for a few more months AND enjoy the sights... you know... the SIGHTS...

Yet I'm glad the boys are doing well, mine are as well... last time I heard from them that is. When are we going to take a vacation together, Laura Love? You seriously work TOO much. When is the season over up there in APW? Maybe you can meet me in Miami, if it's any time soon?

[Laura De'Icco]

Oh I'd absolutely love to sweetie. It's just been real busy this year I'm afraid. It paid off in the end though so that's what counts. The Familia has officially reached it's apex. I couldn't be more proud of them actually...

She paused momentarily. It wasn't exactly an easy thing to ask for someone to postpone their vacation plans for...A wrestling match now was it? Her eyes closed slowly, mumbling the word "Damn" underneath her breath before a long sigh ensued before she responded with...

And...APW's season concludes in just a few short days actually so...That vacation you suggested? Send me the address of the hotel you're going to be staying at and I'll drop in as soon as this season is over. Actually...That sort of brings me to the reason for placing this call now that I think about it...I...Kind of was in need of a favor of sorts. That is...IF it's possible. I wouldn't want to hold you back from getting some much needed time away of course.

[~*Miss Silvia Banks*~]

Apex? There really isn't anywhere else to go after that. Hmm... retirement? She ponders this wholeheartedly before she caught mention of some sort of favor. Yet, she was ecstatic that Laura Love has taken her up on her offer. Not only that but her duties would go into intermission in a matter of days. Back to that looming favor though...

For you, Laura Love? Anything...

The driver had already set her luggage on the curb, waiting for any dolley that would help bring the heap of endless clothing, accessories, and shoes she always takes with her when flying... to the corresponding attendent inside of the Airport Terminal. She instantly snaps her fingers for a passerby to load that carriage he was rolling by with her baggages. Thinking that the man had loaded the dolley with everything she's bringing along, she makes her way to the doors that slide open with her immediate detection. And as always, she'd strut that walk of hers all the while. Where are the cameras when you need them?

Flight 365 to Miami, Florida will be boarding in twenty minutes. All passengers are expected to have all their luggage cleared and waiting for further instructions.

Oh great... I'm sorry, Love. You were saying?

She's late, fashionably though. The dolleyman cleared the sliding doors, trying to spot the young lady. With her get-up, she sticks out like a soar thumb, so he rushes toward her before she walks off again.

[Laura De'Icco]

*Sigh* Well...I kind of figured, since we ARE going on sabbatical or whatever their calling it today that...Wouldn't be such a bad idea for me to get a bit of...You know...In ring time? Show the fans worldwide once again that Laura De'Icco isn't JUST a lovely face and a radiant and ever radiant smile and ...Well...You get where I'm going with this of course.

The slight problem lies in my need for...A tag team partner for the coming show. And seeing as how...Kenisha is booked for the main event match and maybe even another...I didn't want to bother her and...Sarah has two matches and...The rest of the ladies I associate with as well soooooo....I was kind of...Hoping...You could maybe...Take a...Slight...Detour?...And help me out...Maybe?...*Gulp*

[~*Miss Silvia Banks*~]

She realizes that her luggage is nowhere to be found, until she seens a raging cart rushing toward her.

WILL YOU HURRY IT UP! God... you can't get any faster service these days...

The man, huffing and puffing, comes to a screeching halt just in front of her.

Where... to... miss?

Yes, I know I'm breathtakingly beautiful but you don't have to over do it... The 365 Flight to Miami...

She trails off, finally taking in the favor asked.

You want me to do what?

...

Oh honey... I'm so flattered that you'd like me to be your partner. Hmm... give me a second, Love.

She waves the man to follow her, after she spots the information desk.

Hello and welcome to JFK International Airport. How may I help you this evening?

I'd like to exchange my flight ticket for Miami, Florida to Toronto, Canada. I'm sure that shouldn't be any problem?

She sets her bag on the counter, sliding out her ticket and her passport.

Of course it shouldn't. May I see your ticket and passport, please?

*Minutes later*

Everything is all set for you...

The attendant takes a second glance at her passport.

...Miss Banks. The next evening flight to Toronto is in about an hour. Please be sure to check in as you usually would. Gate information will be provided then. And thank you for choosing American Airlines. Have a great evening.

The attendant hands back Silvia's flight ticket and passport. Silvia nods her head in gratitude and turns to her luggage carrier.

Where to?

Umm... this way, ma'am...

On their way there, Silvia teases Laura with the following...

Guess who's heading your way, Love?

[Laura De'Icco]

Yes!

The only word mumbled underneath her breath as she raised her arm high above her head hearing the confirmation of the agreement. Her reaction was clearly one of a over excited teenage girl almost. Knowing she was going to shock a few of the APW faithful present on that night as well as reunite with one of her most trustworthy girlfriends. Her facial expression told the entire story. To say that Laura was excited would have been a GROSS understatement. She cups the phone in her hand to her ear, now holding onto it with both hands as she speaks...

Sweetie thank you SOOOOO much. I owe you BIG time for this one. I promise I will NOT forget it. EVER! I swear! *Giggles* You have no idea how much I appreciate this girl. What time are you landing so I can be there pronto. Can't keep the fabulous waiting now can we? ;D

[~*Miss Silvia Banks*~]

A good three hours I believe? I should have taken the jet... but I'll live. It's first class. I'd say around tenish though...

Good thing she's been honing her skills in the ring... especially since a certain someone expected as much from Silvia. You can't truly understand the business without experiencing it...

And think nothing of it. Between me and you, I actually have a wrestling attire handy... somewhere in those six bags of mine...

I'm sure it'll be fabulous... and we'll look good tossing around whoever we're facing. In others, we're going to be FIERCE!!

[Laura De'Icco]

*Giggles* Oh I wouldn't have it ANY other way Silvia. ANY other way. *Giggles*

A momentary pause in her words as something comes to mind. Something Silvia said...Ring attire? Oh heavens! She couldn't wrestle in the same thing as a few months before. Hm...A new look was in order. Why not make the contest as visually enjoyable as possible hm?

You know...I do believe you're right hon'. Fierce? May be an understatement by the end of the night. But I have to thank you once again sweetie. You have no idea how much this helps me out. I was afraid I'd have to face this Neanderthal woman and her mystery partner alone. 8-)You're a life saver!

A quick look towards the watch resting on her arm, she realizes she was indeed a bit behind for a scheduled Familia meeting in Mr. Vegas' personal locker room quarters. Almost gasping as she responds...

Oh! But I have to run honey. Duty calls once again. I know, I know all I do is work *Sigh* But I can't let those boys run around with no one to tend to them now can I?*Giggles* But I'm so excited you're coming and let's not disappoint hm? Until then, smooch smooch!

[~*Miss Silvia Banks*~]

I've learned a thing or two. So we won't, I'm sure. Kisses... and remember... keep it looking FIERCE!...

She had arrived at the line. Two in front of her. Ugh... she hated to wait. Oh well...

*Click*

Finito...
