cuts and bruises

October 6th 2018 12:45

Our loss a few nights was major, Bianca proved that she could beat the champ and now she'd be wanting my title. She wasn't what I was worried about though, my arm pulled back a few steps in healing and I once again had tight sleeves sat on my elbow and wrist, keeping them as straight as possible, I could still bend my arm but it didn't have the mobility that it usually did. After the match I watched the playback to see what kairi did to demi, turns out she did a hurricanrana and flung demi off the apron into the steel steps, her bruises made a lot more sense now. They had gone from a bright red to a deep purple and they covered almost the entire surface area of her back, it was bad but she wasn't expressing her pain because she was worried about stressing me out. I had also noticed that she was also refusing to wear crop tops or sports bras now, as If she was wondering about what people would say, it was beginning to worry me in all honesty, I had never seen her like this before so it just was a lot to see.

She was in the shower right now and I was in our room, drying my hair, I had my shower before her so she could have some privacy while getting changed since I got dressed a little quicker than her and I didn't want to make her uncomfortable having to show her bruises to me, I had seen them, just not fully. After doing my hair I looked for an outfit, we were going to be in the performance center for interviews and the champions were doing a title shoot, Carmella had also invited both of us to do a no makeup photo shoot in a few days which was really sweet of her.

I left the bathroom just as demi entered, before I left I caught a look of her entire back as she dropped her towel, it was worse than I thought, she looked at her back in the mirror that was sat in the corner of our room, there she noticed me looking and hid her back. I wasn't afraid to see her bruised, it made her more beautiful, we all get bruises, it's human. I needed her to know it was okay to be hurt, so I walked back into the room, climbing onto the bed behind her, I looked at her as I made my next moves just to know if she was uncomfortable so I could stop. I didn't break eye contact with her as she questioned what I was doing, I slowly kissed her shoulders, being as gentle as I could, as I did this my hands moved up to her towel and I pulled it down, she hesitated for a moment, worried about what I might say to her but what I said caught her off guard.

"So pretty..." I whispered, just loud enough that she could hear me, causing her to smile. I gently peppered kisses on her back, making sure not to hurt her, her breathing hitched a few times but it wasn't too worrying, if I carried on we wouldn't make it to the performance center today and then we'd probably get fined. So I made my way back up to her shoulder, resting my chin on it "you don't have to hide them. You're gorgeous with and without bruises, you don't need to be insecure. Just shows you're a badass." I said, making her confident enough to wear a crop top again. I loved the power I held to make her feel better about herself, besides I absolutely loved her crop tops.

Yes it covered a lot of her back but it was the most skin she had shown since our tag match, and she prefers comfort over style when she's sore and bruised. She helped me put on the stabilising sleeves onto my arm and then we headed to our cars.she would finish before me so we were going separately so she she could go as soon as her part was done.

When I arrived at the performance center I noticed two other women With their title belts, Ronda Rousey with RAW and Becky Lynch with Smackdown, I walked over to them and introduced myself, once they knew who I was something clicked in Ronda's head "hey aren't you that newbie that has already held the championship twice?" I nodded shyly I didn't even know that people knew who I was outside of NXT so the shock was real. She looked me up and down, smiling to her thoughts "badass." Becky finally perked up "I know right that's what I was thinking!" Ronda said playfully tapping my shoulder "love to see you in my ring" Ronda chuckled, almost maniacally as she headed to Adam, one of the main officials. Becky rolled her eyes and turned to me "ignore Rousey she thinks she's the scariest woman in the world." I smiled immediately thinking of demi "yeah I'd disagree" I shot a glance in rhea's direction, which Becky caught me doing. She began to smile "so... You got a thing for Ripley huh?" I smiled back at her, "something like tha-" I was cut off by a hand pulling my hair back and then her lips peppering my neck with kisses "they're asking for you..." A pink tint grew on my face as she whispered those words into my ears, Becky's jaw had dropped and a smile was trying to form on her face. "I'll talk to you later Becky!" I said as demi pulled me over to Sarah who placed a mic into my hand immediately. "So serenity how does it feel to be the first two time NXT women's champion." "Uhh it's surreal for sure! I still don't believe it's completely true!" "And what about your loss to Bianca belair a few nights ago" I hesitated for a moment "you know Bianca is a great fighter and the odds weren't in my favour, but I feel like if I had a singles match I'd bag a win no doubt." "Okay so how long do you think you'll be champion for?" "Bro you doubting my skill? I'm going to be champ for as long as I want. I wouldn't have given up my championship before and I can guarantee I'd still be champ now because in that ring all I want to do is fight, to the death if needs be, I don't give up and I'd like to see anyone from the women's locker room try to match my passion-" I stopped what I was saying after seeing Shayna baszler stood opposite me, eyeing me up. "Anyone!" She spoke into her mic, I nodded with a smirk, she didn't intimidate me. "How about become two time champion then. Shayna two time sounds great to me" I stepped closer to the woman in front of me, pushing Sarah out of the way"it's on." With that I walked past the queen of clubs, leaving pretty much the entire crew in shock, they didn't expect a match to be made today but I couldn't help myself. I calmed down a little when demi brought me over to the NXT girls present, Io, Dakota, binaca, kairi and Candice. This match with baszler was going to be brutal
