Riptide | Rhea Ripley | Enemies to Lovers | Possessive and Spicy

68 - Open Challenge

Giant purple wings flapped on the screen, as the song screamed through the stadium.

What?

Was it a mistake?

I kept watching, waiting for something to happen. Then she walked out.

Waving her fingers at Charlotte, playful smile on her face.

The crowd grew wild at seeing Rhea back.

Hell, was it completely silent here.

I rubbed my eyes, certain I was dreaming. But I wasn't. Watching Rhea walk the aisle and hop into the ring, I didn't know what to feel.

Sad. Upset. That she was back and didn't tell me. Should I be angry that she's took what should have been my spot... no.

I was feeling all of those but also excited. My heart was beating and smiling at seeing her. Even just through the tv.

I thought to myself that she honestly deserved a shot. She threw elimination chamber for me... she should have been the winner.

I watched intently as Rhea circled Charlotte, letting the crowd go quiet so she could speak.

Rhea talked and I melted at heading her. She was o close to me... I should have went to the show tonight...

She threatened Charlotte. Who threatened her back. It nearly ended with a fight between the two women, Rhea pretending to go to attack but then grinning playfully at her.

As soon as I seen Rhea go back to the gorilla I picked up my phone and called her, but she didn't answer. Probably not even at her phone yet. I sent her a message.

Mia: Not happy...

I wanted her to sweat a bit. Deep down I was so excited to see her. But there was still a sense of sadness there at not being able to compete. Maybe, she should have talked to me before hand about it...

Halfway through a men's match I was watching Rhea replies to my message.

Rhea: Surprise, baby. I'll be 20 minutes and expect you naked on the couch.

I was going to do no such thing. Partially out of sass, but also out of anger. I stayed on the couch, well, quickly brushed my teeth and tidied up some rubbish and then laid back down.

20 minutes passed and I heard Rheas car pull up. Her getting out and her coming in the door behind me. I stayed silent and stared at the tv. Shit it was hard when all I wanted to do was jump on her. Kiss her and touch her.

I felt her slow steps behind me and behind the couch as she stood behind me. Her warm face came down beside mine. She kissed my ear softly, sending shivers down my spine. "Baby, you alright?" She asked, sensing something wrong.

"Mmm." I hummed, not looking at her.

"Mia?" Rhea asked as her face left my shoulder and she came around to squat in front of me. I couldn't help but look at her face, still a bit red from where she had scrubbed her makeup off. "Talk to me." She ordered.

I stayed silent because I didn't even know what to say or do anymore. I wanted to hug and kiss her, but wished she had talked to me first. I would have been fine with it, and I am, I guess I just wanted her to check with me first.

Maybe it was silly. I don't know.

Rheas warm hand came on my cheek. "Do I have to fuck the words out of you, Mia?"

I cheeks heated and I couldn't help but looking at her. I swallowed, watching her eyes come to my lips and biting her own. I nearly said yes, but Rhea spoke again.

"I'm sorry." Rhea said, taking my other cheek in her hands. "I'm frustrated and need you, and that just came out of me." She smiled faintly.

I tilted my head. "I nearly said yes."

Rhea raised her brows. "Is that what needs to happen for you to speak? You're not going to hate me afterwards, baby?" She spoke playfully.

"Maybe I'll tell you with your head between my legs." I said to her.

At that she crashed her lips onto mine.
