Tasmin tilted her head with a small laugh typing on her phone before hitting send, she blushed and buried her head in her pillow. Her iPhone going off as she looked up eagerly to read the message. She let out a louder laugh and a giggle before typing back. She rolled over and pushed up to her feet from the bed sliding her phone into her back pocket as she made her way out of her bedroom and down the hallway, she turned into the kitchen of her tiny one bedroom apartment in socal opening her fridge grabbing a bottle of water before pulling out her phone feeling a new message come in.
She started giggling and closed the fridge door. “What’s so funny?.” “MOTHER FUCKER!” Tasmin dropped the bottle of water and put her hand over her heart breathing deep shaking her head looking up at her older sister. Kayla smirked and laughed under her breath leaning down to pick up the bottle handing it to her younger sister. “What the hell are you doing here?” Kayla breezed past her and moved into the lounge room sitting down on the coach crossing her legs over looking around the room.
“I can’t just come see my baby sister?” Tasmin scoffed and moved into the room before leaning against the wall taking a sip of water. “I got this apartment to be closer to all the WCG events and training center. You and Matt stayed in Texas. You could have called” Kayla raised an eyebrow flicking through the stack of DVD’s on the table. “So you could make sure Adam wasn’t here?” Tasmin swallowed hard as the water went down her throat, she coughed and sputtered shaking her head keeping the water down. “I’m sorry?”
Kayla just sat there, her hands slowly clasping together over her knee that now sat propped up over her other leg. There was a bit of silence between them, Tasmin did the bottle top up and set it on her kitchen bench. “Adam and I….we’re just friends…” Kayla tilted her head and waited for a moment before getting back to her feet moving a few of the cushions on the couch. “Friends?....is that why he stayed here last night Tas?”
“We ate pizza, we watched Lord of the rings and we fell asleep. That’s it.” She gave a small nod and went to walk past Tasmin before stopping and turning. “Just be careful...don’t rush into anything.” As the door shut behind her Tasmin let out a deep exhale and shook her head. “I have to change those locks…”
Later that day
Tasmin held the south bay title in her hands, she leaned down and forward as her eyes trailed up and a deep breath followed.
“Well, my match against Jimmy Pagan didn’t go as planned did it?. I guess streaks do come to an end. I mean I have been on quite a crazy wild ride the last few months. From training and learning, going through ups and downs to winning my first championship. I have to admit it felt surreal, having my hand raised, having this title belt with me. Feeling it in my hands and knowing that I won it. It’s an accomplishment and Danielle Basch was such an amazing champion and such a great human being. She gave me respect and congratulated me. A Lot of people did. You know who didn’t?...Jason….”
Her voice trails off as she looks down and away. She clears her throat before continuing.
“I never realised such a huge high in my life would be partnered with a low like that. Watching someone who had been my rock, who had my back walk away. It felt wrong. It hurt. But it made me realise just how strong I am. See after he walked off I felt sorry for myself and the last week or so I have gone from wondering if it was me, if I was good enough and drinking and feeling like shirt, to getting up in the morning and going for a run. To looking at my future and realising...I have such a bright future ahead.”
“That includes looking towards the next episode of Hype. I get to step in the ring with the debuting Jessa Jane, Iphigenia Medrapedes and Anastacia Alejandro. Jessa is going to be my tag partner and what a lot of fun this will be. Two members of wrestling families over one side of the ring. Jessa from the Wilsons and myself from the Richards. Admittedly the history between our families is more like the hatfields and mccoys. But I’m sure we’ll be able to get alone in this match. I’m nothing if not professional…”
“And I get to face my buddy Iphy!. She and I got to tag together with Carter in….in...oh Carter is gone too…I made myself sad…”
“But anyway, HI IPHY!”
Tasmin waves and smiles.
“We get to face again and we get to have tag partners, I look forward to it and I missed you. And wow your tag partner. Welcome Anastacia!. You’re part of a wrestling family to!. That’s great. Your dad is going to do great I’m sure. But here you are in WCG ready to go. I’m Tasmin Richards the current south bay champion and I really hope you do well here. WCG is a great company and so many of the performers and management are really nice. I’m really looking forward to getting back in the ring and after my loss to Jimmy I feel like I have something to prove. I don’t want to be looked at as a fluke. My sisters, my brother, they all have an intimidation factor. I don’t, I never did. But what I do have...is heart.”
“I won’t stand here with empty threats..or even real ones to be honest. I can promise you I’ll go out there and put up a fight till I can’t anymore. And if afterwards you were better than I’ll have learned something and I’ll shake your hand, if Jessa and I happen to win then when the dust is settled it’ll be the same result. I’ll learn..get better and be grateful…”
