Cecilia Monroe
The time for that was now, and that was the word to emphasize: The years were piling on faster than she was comfortable with. There was too much that she wanted to do before she surrendered to it. Like seeing the up ahead through to some gold. Cecilia knew that she had the potential to pull it off. And maybe she'd be right there with her, holding up one of the tag belts. That was one of the blonde amazon's goals; she had yet to win a championship herself. Controversy had always sprung up when she was closing in on one -- the person she was with had always ended up cheating and driving her crazy right at that time, taking her eye off the ball. That was something else she should do differently in LAW: No dating. You just can't trust people. Not men. Not even other women...It's just trash all around.
But still, Cecilia couldn't help but hope that things would be different here in LAW. That maybe the problem was that she was putting in all that effort within the confines of the wrong country. Or that she was only sticking to the one in general. This was a promotion with a reach that expanded to each and every corner of the globe; she would surely find success eventually, right?
She would remember Rachel's words, though. As permeated with that youthful zeal as they were. She had a point. It was the safe thing to do.
"Heya, hun!"
Rachel stopped. Her back was turned, but she knew her voice. And then she turned around, looking at her like she was a big, red, sparkling elephant on a tricycle. "What is this doing here?"
"Betty?" A discarded name that no one outside the family could address her as. Rachel wasn't blood, but she was family. The daughter that her womb could never produce.
How was she standing there, right here and now? After wondering that for a few seconds, Rachel realized that she didn't care and ran over and into Cecilia's waiting arms, pulling herself in tight. She flinched when a couple fingers pinched hard at the back of her neck. "Ow!" She stepped out of her embrace, brows curled into a confused frown. "What'd I do?"
Cecilia chuckled and replied, "Nothing. Just making sure you know I'm out for real."
Rachel smiled and hugged her again. "So you broke out, huh?"
"Nah, I had some good time built up."
"When'd they let you out?"
"A little under a couple weeks ago now." An answer that got her a half-hearted punch to the shoulder. Another frown quickly replaced Rachel's smile.
"What the fuck? Why didn't you call me?"
"I wanted to surprise you. I heard you got signed by LAW, so I thought I'd shoot my shot too. And when I got in, well, I figured I'd catch you on the show."
Rachel's expression lightened. "O...Okay, but you still should've...! I had a plan! I was gonna take you out to Red Lobster! Get some shrimp and Cuervo in you!" One Cecilia's favorite places to eat, and her alcoholic beverage of choice whenever she's looking to let loose. Yeah, she should have called her, the blonde thought. "And you know we were gonna tear the city up. Get you laid."
Cecilia gave her a conspiratorial grin. "That might've been a part of the good time I built up. Had a tall, fine fella who liked to check in on me every so often."
Raven chuckled, ears primed and ready for the tea. "No way!"
"Mmhmm! Built like a god, big in the pants-"
"He know how to use it?"
"Ooh, girl! And I swear he had a pack of Energizer batteries up his ass or something! And of course, once he got a taste, he couldn't get enough of me. Slipped me his number and everything when I was on the way out."
"You gonna call him up the next time we're in the States?"
"Maybe. We'll see how the competition is here first. Speaking of, who are you up against?"
"Some basic blonde bitch who needs a lesson in minding her business." There was some real vitriol in her words.
The ink on her contract isn't even dry yet, and she's already getting into trouble. But the last thing that anyone could call Cecilia was "surprised". She was shaking her head on the inside.
"I'm sure she'll learn."
"Damn right, she will." Rachel cracked her knuckles.
The of Rob Zombie's take on "Brick House" made its way through the curtain, turning Cecilia's head.
"Go kick some ass. And after we're done here, we're going out for drinks. If the men aren't buying, I will."
"Thanks, hun. You too."
Cecilia emerged from the backstage area just in time for the opening lyrics, flexing through a few poses to show off the muscles that accompanied her curves. Much to her pleasure, she would be received with the loudest, most amorous ovation that she'd ever received in her career. She put some good sway into her hips, strutting down to the ring with abundant diva energy. Sharing that story with Rachel made it all the easier to dig up, with that painful awareness of having lived what was approaching half a century and resultant fear of the ravages of time taking its place in the dirt. The hanging jaws and the whistles had her feeling good. Damn good.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is an oil match that is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, standing at six-foot-three and weighing in at two hundred pounds, fighting out of San Antonio, Texas...! Ceciliaaaaaaa Monrooooeee!"
She ascended onto the apron with a confident leap that she'd practiced countless times until her feet learned to stick in spite of the oil that slickened it, causing some delightful jiggle. More would follow during her slow bend through the ropes; a little ass shaking to milk more cheers from the crowd.
Still got it, girl!
Waiting inside the ring were two buckets of oil, placed in opposite corners. Cecilia made her way over to one, standing tall with arms crossed underneath her breasts as she watched the stage.
