Later that night at Tina’s Studio

Monica was back at Tina’s studio later that evening. It looked so different at night. The streets were quiet and the air felt electric. That electricity was more likely to do with her own body because she had been thinking about her upcoming match with Tina all day and it was charging her up. They agreed to meet up after Tina was done with her classes and Monica was free as well. Tina’s studio seemed like the best place to run their match since it was there and free to use. There was no need for permissions or agreements like she went through with the WSW commission. This was two adults agreeing to have a submission wrestling match with the winner taking the loser as a prize.

She hadn’t felt this excited in a long time. She couldn’t remember how long it had been since she’d been in an actual WSW match. She had just started doing moves on the mat again for the wrestling club. It was to demonstrate moves and techniques with the girls, but that wasn’t the same as putting all your energy and focus into taking down the woman across the ring from you. Tonight, she’d get to taste the thrill of competition once again.

She still had the question of whether or not Tina could give her a run for her money. Tonight, Monica would either enjoy a prize in Tina or be a prize herself. She shivered with anticipation. This was part of what excited her. She didn’t know if she was going to stomp the attractive young Asian, or if the yoga instructor really did have the skills Sam had boasted about. Earlier in the day, she was tempted to test her opponent while they were still at the studio, but decided that it would be more interesting if they found out each other’s skill level in the actual match.

Monica started to wonder if she should have asked Sam more about what Tina could do and get a little scouting done before their match. She hadn’t told Sam that she would be coming for Tina. She wasn’t sure she would go through with it in the first place. Her original idea was just to scope out Tina and find out a bit about her. Everything seemed to be falling together so quickly. She worried that she may have jumped in before checking if there was water in the pool. It was too late now though, she already agreed to the match. She had made a gamble and would have to pay for it if she chose wrong. Even worse, whatever the result, Tina was most likely going to spill the news to Sam. For some reason she loathed the thought of Sam knowing that she had followed through with her contact and got back into submission wrestling. She guessed it was because she had a need to separate her WSW life from her personal and professional life. Now it was all intermingling again. She sighed. It was too late to go back now, she had already met with Tina and agreed to a match. She may as well see where it goes from here.

Monica knocked on Tina’s door. A minute later, Tina opened it wearing a stunning silk robe that hugged her slender figure. She wore no shoes and had her hair done up. It looked as though she was ready for bed.

“Hi…” Monica said, not sure if she got the day of their match wrong. “Am I too early? Too late?”

Tina laughed. “No! You’re right on time! Welcome! Come in!” Tina opened up the door for her.

Monica breathed a sigh of relief and came in. She noticed the WSW ring mat right away. It was at the center of the studio where the yoga mats had been laid out earlier in the day.

“This is a nice setup!” Monica complimented.

“Thanks. It’s not much, but we really don’t need that much space to wrestled in,” Tina replied. Monica nodded. The ring mat was a WSW brand mat so she knew it would be to regulation standards. Tina also had a timer set by the ring.

“Looks like everything is all set,” Monica noted.

“You just need to get in your gear and we’re ready to go!” Tina concurred, dropping her robe to reveal a skimpy tie down yellow bikini underneath. Tina caught Monica staring and grinned. “Do you need a place to change? The washroom is down the hall.”

“Actually…” Monica said, biting her lower lip as she pulled down her overcoat to reveal her own regulation ring gear underneath. She had a tie down crimson red bikini and thong with black laces. It was her old ring gear which she was so excited to wear again, she decided to come in with nothing but that outfit.

Tina’s eyes widened at the daring ensemble. “You went out like that?” she asked.

Monica smiled back. “I guess I was a little too eager for this,” she admitted with a shrug. “It was late so I figured there wouldn’t be that many people around…”

“Well, I like your style… looks and everything!” Tina replied, admiring her opponents' daringness and body at the same time. She waved Monica to come join her in the ring. “I take it that means there’s no need to dilly dally! We can get right into it right away!”

“I’m ready if you are!” Monica replied. She set her overcoat to the floor and stepped out of her heels so she could walk barefoot into the circle. “So, will it be a standard match?” she asked, starting some warmup stretches..

“Of course! Two minute timer?”

Monica nodded. Tina set the clock. “Ready?” she asked her guest.

“Always!” Monica grinned, feeling a rush of nostalgia as Tina started the clock.

“Let’s go!” Tina called out, returning to the ring.

The two squared off, both at the ready to strike. Monica waited, looking for what her opponent would attempt first, but Tina was being just as cautious so they ended up in a stare down, looking for the faintest flicker of movement from the other. This was a good sign to Monica. She could tell that her opponent had enough experience not to jump into the fray against someone when she didn’t know their skill level yet. That meant that they would have to test each other out before going all in, to see if they could find openings.

Monica moved in first, feinting a grab, but Tina didn’t flinch. Either she was unaware of the movement and didn’t react or was not threatened by it. Tina sidestepped carefully, circling her opponent while keeping herself out of grab range. Monica mirrored the movement, judging her own distances as well. She waited for Tina to come in her range again.

Tina quickstepped close, just within reach. Automatically, Monica lashed out, ready to grab, but she felt a sudden lurch in her stomach! Her instincts took over and she reeled back. Just in time, as Tina made for a quick swipe at her. Monica hopped back, regaining her distance. Her heart was pumping. She could feel how dangerously close Tina was to getting ahold of her. Tina gave her a devilish grin.

“Not bad…” she admired.

“Not bad yourself!” Monica quipped back, breathing a sigh of relief.

Tina swooped in again, but Monica backed away until she was at the edge of the ring. Tina **** her to move with a lunge, but it was another feint! Monica spun around, sidestepping back towards the ring so that she wouldn’t get trapped at the edge. Quickly, they were back in the middle again, squaring off.

“Alright, time to step it up a notch!” Tina announced, cricking her neck and rotating her shoulder. She looked back at Monica with a steely gaze. This time she was coming in with a serious approach.
