My eyes flutter open, the sunlight hits them and keeps my cheek warm. I take a sharp breath in and her scent fills my lungs. I move over letting my right arm slide over her midsection pulling her body against mine. My left arm curled under her head, flowing long blonde hair with red highlights flows down and back over tickling my bare chest. I can feel her breathing, my own heartbeat against her back.
“Mmmmm” I hear her as she moves and wakes up, she turns her head just enough to see me out of the corner of her eye. A smile flashes across her lips as she manages a creaky and tired word. “Hi…” A sound so simple and short but so beautiful and restrained, I don’t answer back, I just smile. The first genuine smile I have had in months. The happiness I feel lifting my spirits.
We have both awoken from a lie, a painful world that felt wrong.
“What are you looking at?” Eliza raises her eyebrow, she looks confused. I just smile and laugh hiding my face in my pillow. She turns her head with a grin. “Seriously what’s up?”.
I pull myself up and sit back my arms over my knees as Eliza just lays there. “I’m just happy, can’t I be happy?” She gives me a small nod and smiles. “For what it’s worth, I’m happy to….” I lean down for a kiss, we get so close I can feel her warmth, then as our lips touch I hear my doorbell.
“Oh shit….”
I slide from my bed with the sheet around me in a panic. Eliza looks at me shocked as she throws her shirt on. “What’s going on?” I breathe deep and shake my head. “It’s Amber…” Eliza raises an eyebrow as the doorbell goes off again. “So what?....”
I swallow hard and sigh. “Liz, she doesn’t know we’re back together. I have breakfast with her so you need to go…” Eliza slides her jeans on and looks hurt. “Excuse me?...go?...like I’m some shameful secret?” “No I…”
Eliza thrws her shoes on, the doorbell rings again and I open my bedroom door with a loud bellow. “I’LL BE THERE IN A SECOND I’M GETTING DRESSED” I slam it and turn back to Eliza. “You are ashamed of me Kay, you are scared…” I grab her arm and pull her close. “You’re right…but let’s go right to Ana after this, come n I’ll get Amber…” She tugs me back and shakes her head. “Wait…Ana?...no no…I mean..she’s so busy I”
“You haven’t told her..” Eliza goes to say something but she stops and sighs. “No I haven’t….ok I understand…look just…we will tell everyone soon ok?” I smile and nod giving Eliza a quick kiss sliding an extra key into her hand. “I’ll see you later…I should be home in a few hours….” Eliza nods and kisses me again as I walk out the door to see my sister.
“Well look at this, brand new company. A chance for me to be established right away on the ground floor instead of previous times when I have had to come in and do everything I can to break out.”
“And breaking out is what I do.”
“I join companies, I look every single female they have on the roster in the eye and then, I break them. I break them verbally, I break them physically. At 22 years old I have become one of the best young talents ever to enter a professional wrestling ring. I learned from the best, I learned from my big sister Amber Richards….”
“A legend”
“I learned from Ana Valentine-Jones and even though she did it you use me and to get to my sister and even though I hate that arrogant bitch and wouldn’t piss on her slutty little face if she was on fire…I still learned a lot from watching her in and out of the ring.”
“I took it all and brought it in through my filter and what has come out, is amazing.”
“Sure, I’m arrogant, I’m cocky but I’m not a liar. I get into the ring and go face to face with anyone and in a fair match I am a handful for anyone. I don’t care if you’re a former women’s champion or a world champion in one of those stupid mixed gender feds. You stand across from me, I’m looking to take your head off and kick your teeth down your throat….”
“From the ones I know like Crystal, Fiona and Eliza to newcomers like Gina, Trixie and Danielle you’ll all believe you can beat me and some of you will put up a great fight, in fact I’ll respect some of you…but in the end I’m here to be a champion, I’m here to become a legend…and I refuse to let anyone..even Ana herself…stop me…”
“Kayla are you even listening to me?”
I snap out of my day dream. Physically I know where I am, I’m sitting outside a nice local café. Bacon and egg’s on toast sit in front of me as the cool morning breeze passes by. A plastic cup filled with an iced caramel mocha sits on the side with whipped cream and a caramel swirl. My sister Amber sits across from me, a frown on her pouty pink lips.
Her long black hair flowing down over her shoulders that are covered by a black leather jacket and a female cut Metallica shirt. I gave her a small smile and nod. “Yeah of course I am….” Amber takes a sip of her coffee and continues. “So Renee and I were at home playing with the twins, then Jace walked in….” I swallowed hard. My mind flashed and my heart jumped into my stomach.
“Oh?.Jace…Jace is back from Europe?” I sweat a little, Amber nods and grins. “You haven’t seen him yet?. I thought he would of come to see you right away.” I laugh nervously and take a drink. Amber looks sideways at me and narrows her eyes. Shit she knows something. “Uh, yeah well…I didn’t even know he was back, which is weird right, I mean weird for a boyfriend not to rush to see his girlfriend and all….”
I rambled and realized my mistake, Amber slid her hands forward and got close to me staring into my eyes as I slinked back into my chair. “Just what the hell is going on with you?”
“Uh…I…well” I swallow again and sigh deeply. “I’m just nervous about the VWS debut.” Amber raises an eyebrow and “hmmms” before sitting back. “Well, I can understand that, but you’re going to be awesome Kay…” I let out a relieved breath why didn’t Jace tell them? I wonder.
“Besides it’s not like you’ll be alone, I signed my contract this morning and faxed it to Ana…”
“Wait..what?”
“Well that’s interesting isn’t it Crystal?. Little miss brown noser going one on one with me in our first match for VWS.”
“Face it Crystal, you and I know each other very well. And it’s no secret that you are bestest buddies with Ana Valentine Jones. The owner/operator of this whole shindig and one thing perplexes me Crystal..oh..sorry I know big word…I’ll wait while you pause this, find a dictionary and look it up…..”
“…….”
“…….”
“……It’s under “P”……P.E.R.P.L.E.X.E.S….”
“Got it?..ok good…..anyway what perplexes me is why would Ana sign someone like me into the company with you here. You will probably be her hand picked best friend champion to hold the belt going into the first month of life. But with me here Crissyface..well you’re going to look pathetic..well, more pathetic.”
“But again I know who you are. From when you were known as Hilton and walking around married to that ignorant dumbass Todd Williams to now, all married to a new man. Walking through companies like NCW, LAW and IWF and now here in VWS. That’s right, a starlet, a diamond, a superstar…all those names and there’s one that you keep stumbling on…champion…”
“And no sweetheart I don’t mean holding a belt for a month and pissing on it just to say you had it I mean really holding a championship and defending it like a champion…”
“You suck at it…”
“But me Crystal?. I’m still in my rookie year and in that time I have gone from hopeless joke wasting away, getting beaten by nobodies to being a real champion and a real competitor. I walked out of college and right into wrestling.”
“I slept wrestling, I ate wrestling, I drank wrestling…I LIVED WRESTLING….from day one of my adult love this has been my chosen career path.”
“Unlike you. A failed movie star, a failed wife and despite longevity..a failed professional wrestler. You’re a joke Crystal. An unfunny joke that has gone on way too long, kind of like how I met your mother, you should have been cancelled three years in….”
“But now here we are, the failed wannabe against the hot young prodigy in a brand new company. You think you can beat me Crystal?....you think you can get in that ring with me and stand a chance when your greatest skill is kissing up to Ana?.....you wil try….you will fail…and in the end you will just be a victim….”
