Not Yet Today

Ace couldn't resist blushing.

"Well...I mean...I dunno about gorgeous...I admit, I'm certainly not bad looking, but showing myself off like that?"

Ace shrugged. She had always felt showing off herself in that way would make people respect her less in the ring. Then again, they had respect for Alaina's in ring skill, and its not like Taylor or Akashi wore all that much in the ring anyway, and everybody loved and respected them. Given her reception, it might raise the crowds opinion of her if she did something like that.

"I..I guess I could do that...sign stuff at the beach or something...Silver is a good color on me, I could make it look good..."

"Just be proud of yourself Ace, thats all. As long as you are happy who cares about anything else?"

Alaina sat back and took a deep breath. She really did like Ace, but she couldn't get over the feeling that she had something to prove to herself, to Ace, really to everyone. She always felt that she was ready for the bigtime but her record said otherwise. She knew a big win was necessary for the brass to see what her fans saw. Next time, maybe Ace would be that win.

"Fair point....damn, I need a shower and a massage..."

Ace replied, before reaching into her bag and pulling out a pen and paper to write something on before handing it to Alaina.

"So, here is my cell phone number, alright? Whenever you wanna hit the beach, or train, or just hang out, gimme a ring, anytime, day or night, alright?"

She said, grabbing a towel before going starting to back to the showers, turning back to Alaina and reaching out, rubbing her shoulder a little.

"And hey, don't beat yourself up. You did really good out there, and I'd be happy to take you on again as soon as I'm back to full strength, then we can really bring the house down!"

Alaina quickly began putting the number in her phone and sending a text. "I am texting you my number so you have it!" Alaina said happily.

"I will let ya know when we can go take the beach by storm with our combined sexiness. And yeah when you are 100% I will be right there for a rematch." She added with a smile. "I should get going, you have to shower and I have a lot of work to do to get ready for that rematch. Talk to you soon!"

Alaina waved as she finished getting dressed and made her way outside.
