It worked...It really worked. Carmelita's desperate ploy actually paid off. With a soft, tired chuckle, she made her way to the outside, standing over Chiyo's body, lifting her and propping her against the barricade, and just...staring at her for a moment. "You talk too much~...gives me too much time to recover." She whispered, teasing Chiyo with a slight smirk. "Though I will say, sorry about the rough landing, I wasn't anticipating you to...y'know, fly out like that." She looked at the hurting Chiyo's face, a little concern washing over her as she held her up. There was so much she wanted to say at that moment, so much she wanted to do...in her mind, she pictured herself comforting the pink-haired woman, ignoring the match's status, and giving Chiyo a ki-...Wait. No. Wait. WAIT...Did...Did she REALLY imagine herself doing that? Was she actually considering that deep down? She understood that she felt an...attraction...toward Chiyo. Her supple but trained body. Such a smaller figure but still capable of extraordinary things. She enjoyed feeling the woman's body against her own. The intimacy and connection she felt was second-to-none...but was she actually FALLING for Chiyo? This...It HAD to be superficial. Chiyo was JUST attractive, nothing more, nothing less.
So why was Carmelita struggling to attack her while she was helpless?
All of a sudden, a few cronies would try to mess with Chiyo and interfere with the match. They began to snatch at her hair and body, aiming to drag her over the barricade, making it appear like Carmelita had shoved her over. If she were sent over the barricade, she would be out of the referee's vision...Meaning Carmelita could win via count-out due to her cronies keeping Chiyo trapped...and even potentially bringing harm to her as ''punishment''. The Spaniard grew LIVID over this thought as she pulled Chiyo away from their grasp, almost hissing at them as she stared DAGGERS into their souls. "DON'T YOU FUCKING TOUCH HER!!!" She yelled, shocking her coattail-riding entourage...and even herself. She shuddered for a moment before composing herself. "Lay a finger on her, and you're FINISHED, understood? I'm going to beat her MYSELF. Got that?" She said, pulling Chiyo away.
Why did she do that? Why did she give up such an easy win? It was in the palm of her hand. All she had to do was let go, and she would win without any further struggle. But, for that same strange reason as before...Carmelita ENJOYED that struggle. She enjoyed that ''blinding passion'' that Chiyo was spouting about. Furthermore, she didn't want this match to end...certainly not in that fashion. She contemplated her next move. In her current condition, she wasn't strong enough to do that one thing where someone put someone else through the announcer's desk. Chiyo was still putty in her hands. Additionally, she was running out of time. Right. There was no time to waste. She rolls Chiyo back inside the ring, sliding under the rope after her and grabbing hold of Chiyo again. She holds the woman tight from behind, pressing her body against her backside and squeezing her waist firmly as she whispers again. "I don't know if you can hear me but...make no mistake about earlier. The only one allowed to put their hands on you is ME. Understood? I'm not going to let a single person touch you. No one is going to ruin this for me. When I beat you, you'll immediately realize it was because I was BETTER than you. Because my fire was bigger and brighter than yours...So until then, not one person will lay a finger on you so long as I'm around. Beating you is worth more to me than gold, Chiyo. She said, attempting to finish the woman with her finishing move, the Golden Hour...A quick German suplex that sends Chiyo in an overhead arc, slamming her onto the canvas, back-first followed by a transition into a wonderful Snap Piledriver, which plants the pink-haired woman onto her head.

With Carmelita's assault complete, she pins Chiyo down, covering her for the win. She drapes over Chiyo's soft figure, letting the woman feel as much of her own hot, sweaty body against hers as possible as she hooks her leg. She lets out an exhausted huff, breathing raggedly as her body begins to feel sluggish. The match was taking its toll, and her poor stamina wasn't helping her case...Still, she covered Chiyo...this was her moment. This was the start of her new beginning. The referee's hand goes up and-...
"1...!!!"
"2...!!!"
"....-"
