ashanti smiled softly, removing her hands, "that was a good answer. even though it's just the two of us in here, it's clear that i'm sexier."

vinnie chuckled, his smile growing, "not disagreeing with you on that."

"good." ashanti laughed softly while continuing to mess with his hair, "are you ready? today's the day..."

vinnie turned on his side, his body now facing her. "i think i'm ready. at the weigh-in yesterday, looking at deji, i felt good. i don't know.. i don't wanna get cocky but i've worked hard towards this you know?"

ashanti nodded her head, "of course you do v. you have worked hard towards this and you looked good at the weigh-in too."

vinnie's lips tugged into a smirk. he laid his head on her thigh, "you watched the weigh-in?"

"of course i did. i watched the whole live stream. you're asking me if i would miss that? no way." ashanti laughed, closing her eyes and rubbing her temples, "i'm imagining it now."

"why imagine when i'm right here?"

"OKAY VINCENT!" her laughter continued, "i'm gonna stop you right there."

vinnie chuckled, shrugging, "i'm just saying." he raised his head, getting up from the comfortable position and ashanti frowned.

"you're leaving?"

he nodded, looking down at his watch, "as much as i don't want to, my trainer wants me to warm up before the fight later tonight. i'll be back at like three-four? to get ready, grab my stuff, see your face." he smiled.

ashanti put their hands under their chin, grinning sweetly, "this face?"

vinnie smiled as he leaned down to kiss her forehead, "that's the one. i'll see you later, yeah?"

ashanti nodded, "i'll see you later."


four fifteen pm

"yeah, these are cute as fuck." xandria clacked her nails together while taking a video. while the boys were gone, xandria and ashanti went to get their nails done to pass the time.

xandria had gotten acrylic black frenchies with red rhinestones at the base of her nails. while ashanti got a set of white acrylics with pink glitter decorating her middle fingers. there was a tiny letter 'v' in pink on her index finger. she was hoping it'd be a good luck charm for tonight.

they had left around the time the boys had left. the two had got back to the house at around two and were now just chilling in their room.

soon, they heard familiar voices and several knocks came from their door. xandria got up to open it, revealing troy, vinnie, and jordan.

"who's ready for battle of the platforms!??" troy hollered as he entered the room. "i know i am!!"

"hacker gonna take home the win." jordan laughed as he fake-punched vinnie's shoulder.

"we're all rooting for you." xandria gave him a thumbs up, "you got this!"

"thank you guys.." vinnie chuckled, "i hope i can make you guys proud tonight.."

"i'm going to be proud of you regardless." ashanti responded noting the nervous response.

"i second that." troy agreed, "but taking home the win would be a nice bonus." jordan smacked him upside the head, quickly adding, "don't be nervous about winning or not, all that matters is that you don't give up."
