When Acting As a Wave

Nikolette felt like she hadn't seen Gwendolyn in a long, long time. Ever since her girlfriend had won the Entropy title, it just felt like they had no time together whatsoever. Granted, Gwendolyn DID have a lot to do not only with all the publicity with winning a title but also with her own multinational conglomerate. Nikolette herself was pretty busy too. Though she hadn't had a match in a while, she had been busy. Her and Taylor Parker had formed a bit of a friendship and she had been helping out with the dojo that her and her mother-in-law were putting together. They were getting a lot of great, young talent in and Nikolette was happy to be a part of it.

But she was tired of not spending any time with her girlfriend. Today, come Hell or high water, she was going to spend some quality time with her girlfriend.

In fact, she wasn't even going to call. She was just going to barge into Gwendolyn's private work out facility and tackle her and pin her down and not let her up until she was finished with her. The Engineer beamed brightly and pushed her way through the doors of the facility like she owned the place. She tried to be sneaky and creep by the staff so she could sneak up on Gwendolyn but she wasn't exactly stealthy. Her girlish and excited giggles were enough to make her conspicuous. The fact that she just strolled into the middle of the place probably didn't help.

"Ooooh, Gweeeeenniiiie!" She bellowed as she paced around the place. "Where ya aaaat!?"

A bustling cacophony of shuffling feet and various voices could be heard in one of the numerous corridors passed on by the giddy engineer "sneakily" patrolling the training facility, Gwendolyn herself emerging with her typical cadre of trainers and personnel following close behind with barely any personal space afforded to the heiress. Dressed in a sleeveless version of her blue/white dress ensemble to accommodate the Spring weather, hardly a gaze was afforded to her surroundings as she busily swiped away on her tablet while striding forward.

The Entropy title, and what's more the unscrupulous methods in which she procured AND defended it, had painted a rather inconvenient bulls eye on her back. One that necessitated the heiress, to her own absolute disgust, hire the loathsome River Styx as a friendly discouragement towards those who would wish her ill. Whats more, her illustrious victory at Avalanche and acquisition of the Entropy championship brought with it unforeseen burdens, ones that caused Gwendolyn to strategize well in advance every minutiae of her daily routine to make sure not one minute was wasted on frivolous activities. She had decided that not one single aspect of her daily regiment could be altered now that she was champion, and next on her tightly booked day planner was her usual training regiment of-

"Ooooh, Gweeeeenniiiie! Where ya aaaat!?"

Gwendolyn recognized the twang in her beloved engineer's voice instantly, halting immediately and turning her golden curled head to the side along with everyone else in her entourage. As if turning on a light bulb that brightened up her day, Gwendolyns placid expression changed into a beaming radiance at the sight of her beloved engineer, flinging her tablet over her shoulder towards her entourage and shooing them away with nary a thought given to what she had planned for the day.

"Ah, mon ingénieur bien-aimée~..." Prancing daintily with her arms bent at her sides, Gwendolyn would gracefully leap into her beloved embrace before gently pressing her dainty lips against Nikolette's, moaning slightly from the familiar sensation of her lovers lips before relenting and nuzzling up against her neck. "Mmm, how I've missed you so...Such a pleasant surprise too, and much more pleasing to the eye than my last unannounced visitor...*giggle*...We have so much to discuss since last we met..."

Nikolette's eyes lit up as Gwendolyn pranced into view. "Bonjour!" She chirped. "Comment allez-vous!?" She responded in French, catching her lover and deepening the kiss as their lips met. She was fervent with her affection and squeezed the lithe heiress tightly against her strong body.

"Yeah, it's great ta see ya!" Nikolette said, grinning widely as they pulled away from the kiss. The engineer swiveled a bit. "So, where do ya wanna go? I wanna talk too! it feels like it's been ferever!" She said, trying to contain her sadness at their lack of quality time.

Gwendolyn remained wrapped up in her dear engineer's affectionate and powerful embrace, practically rubbing chests together with the heiress arms extended around her lover's neck with her relaxed gaze fixated on Nik's emerald eyes. Ever since that one enchanting night after SummerSplash Gwen found herself to be puddy in Nikolette's hands whenever her engineer grew out of her shell and exerted her own influence to take control out of Gwendolyns own...

"Oh, what say we keep matters simple this time around? I fear venturing out to a public bistro may attract the flashing camera lights of ceaseless paparazzi. I can have Winston prepare us some soothing tea while we enjoy eachother's company on the terrace right out back...or there's always the sauna~...?" There was a sultry tone to her last suggestion before chuckling to herself, reminiscing of another intimate experience the couple shared long ago...

"Sauna!"

Nikolette chirped. "We can have tea after, I think." She said and spun them around to rush them towards the locker rooms. "It'll be good at just relax an talk. Catch up, ya know?" She said and then set Gwendolyn down once the got to the locker rooms.

Nikolette began to strip off her clothes when she found a locker but started chatting even as she tugged off her clothes. "So whatcha been up to, Gwennie? Aside from the title matches." Nikolette said though she didn't want to bring up the end of the match.

"Oh, a-alright!!" Gwendolyn barely stuttered as Nikolette gallivanted down the halls towards the sauna with the heiress hand in hand. She was honestly somewhat taken aback by Nik's enthusiasm for the sauna session, intended more for playful teasing at first. Though as they undressed her engineer's eagerness was becoming infectious, a pep in her step as she removed her undergarments and began to wrap the body towel around her chest.

"...*giggle*...You speak of my title matches as if they aren't the topics most in need of discussion. But since you asked~..." With the towel secured tightly behind her the heiress would escort Nikolette towards the sauna in the back of the locker room by hugging her arm closely, a nostalgic feel to the entire scenario.

"Soon after acquiring the Entropy title I went on sabbatical to St. Barts. Someplace to heal, unwind, and decompress after performing on the grandest stage of them all. My parents we're supposed to meet me there, so I could present to them the title belt in person...but they were unable to attend at the last minute. Business matters and the sort, you see~...I've...actually had a spot of trouble pining them down to speak with me..." There was a sudden twinge of sadness in her voice when she mentioned her parents before perking up to Nikolette with a warm smile on her face. "In all honesty I regret not immediately returning to Japan for some quality time with my dear engineer~....So, how have you been occupying your time in my absence?"

"Ahh... really?" Nikolette said, adjusting her towel as Gwendolyn went on. "I didn't know ya went ta St. Barts..." She said, a hint of dejection in her tone. She would have loved to have gone! "That kinda sucks about yer parents though. Too bad they are so busy all the time." I know how it feels... She added in her mind, letting her thoughts trail off before Gwendolyn interrupted them once more.

"Ah, I've been trainin. Real hard and helpin Taylor out. She's got some kinda dojo thing goin, which is pretty cool. Never thought I'd be one ta be teachin anyone anythin!" She smiled. "Still, it ain't all fun and games. I get ta work out with the champ, so I'm lookin forward to my next fight. I'm feelin like I could take on anyone!" She said. She meant it too. She was a lean, mean fighting machine and she wanted Kelly or Angel or both of them! Anyone, really.

*Aww~...* Gwen held Nikolette's arm tighter and rested her head on her shoulder when she heard how crestfallen she felt from not accompanying her to St. Barts, smiling at how adorable Nik was even when she was pouting. It was a spur of the moment decision, and there were other reasons she was hesitant about inviting her beloved on the tropical get away. Reasons she feared revealing to her partner until the moment called for it...

"Yes, your philanthropic friend Taylor's training dojo. Strange to me how she chooses to prioritize this expedition of hers rather than the encroaching threat of Kelly Conway and her growing followers. Though if this 'dojo' of hers is simply a manner of cultivating young talent to keep the enemy at bay, than it's actually quite ingenious~..." Gwendolyn coldly stated with her calculating mindset on display.

Upon entering the humid sauna and setting the timer, Gwen would climb up and and set her back against the wall in the same spot she sat last time. "Nevertheless, I do hope she realizes how lucky she is to have you on board. Though with the amount of experience you gather from this, I'd say she may eventually have another contender for the title belt to worry about~..."

"Eheh..." Nikolette chuckled softly. "I don't think that Taylor's thinkin too much into it an I don't think she's not thinkin about Kelly. Her ma used ta run somethin similar when she was... the last time she was in the business, so I think they are just tryin ta help young gals out. It's pretty neat." She said.

"He, I've just been helpin around a bit. Her and I mostly box. Been teachin her that sorta stuff." Nikolette blushed. "Ahhh, maybe... I ain't really been thinkin about that title." She said. "I never even gotten a shot at the one yer wearin, even!" Nikolette teased. "But... I guess I coulda had my shots here an there. Maybe I have been lookin fer bigger n' better things." She said, pondering it seriously. Maybe the World Title was in her future... It would look good on her, that's for sure!

"Hmm, how...charitable, of her." Gwendolyn calmly breathed in the muggy air as Nikolette spoke, closing her eyes as sweat droplets already began forming on her forehead and on the curvature of her chest. "You know, I've always seen it in you. That potential to be championship material. Ever since we first spoke and you laid out such lofty aspirations as to subdue both Kelly Conway and then champion Angel." Gwendolyn stated while softly panting.

Her relaxed state of mind caused her to pick up on the signs later than she normally would have, though once Gwen caught the subtle inflections in Nikolette's tone when she mentioned not being interested in Taylor's title, her head tilted and turned to her engineer with widened eyes and a curious expression. "Ms. Engineer,...I may be misinterpreting your insinuation, but...do you have intentions on...challenging me for my title belt?"
