a decision(Ryan)

[velvet]

Vel sits in the cafe at a table as she waits for Ryan to show up. She called him earlier to have him meet her here. She recently made a decision that she definitly felt he had to be the first to know about. She also wanted to ask him something that involved her recent decision that would change her career.

[Trouble*]

Ryan pulls up into the parking lot of The Lounge in his Porsche with his aggressive music pounding away. He switches the music off, turns the car off and places the keys into his pocket. He gets out of the car and locks it behind him, as he heads off to the building.

Ryan enters the building, and instantly sees Velvet. He walks up to the table she's at, and takes a seat across from her.

Hey Velvet, you rang?

[velvet]

Vel looks at Ryan.

I've decided to quit wrestling. I've decided to become a manager instead. And well I was kinda hoping that you wouldn't mind me as your manager.

[Trouble*]

His heart stops beating at her first words, but continues on regularly as she finishes her statement. He grins softly, and removes his shades from his face. He places them in his front pocket to his casual button up shirt, and looks into her eyes.

I'd love more than anything to have you with me during my matches.. But..what made you come to this decision?

[velvet]

Vel looks down as she thinks, mildly ashamed of her decision.

I...don't know. I just felt as if I didn't belong in the ring as an active competitor. It just didn't seem to fit me even though I loved to compete. So I thought maybe being a manager is where I belong. I just don't know why I chose it suddenly.

[Trouble*]

Ryan brings his right hand up to her chin, and brings it up so her eyes would meet his. He then places his left hand on her right, and grins.

Why be so down about it? Remember, you're still here in XWA, so if you DO decide to return to the ring to wrestle, you'd be aloud to quicker than a fat kid running for a Twinkie. I appreciate the fact that you want to be in my corner, I really do...

[velvet]

Vel smiles. At least he knew what to say to make her feel better but she still felt like she let other people down with her decision.

Thanks. I know I would probably be allowed to compete if I wanted to but I just feel I let others down with my decision. Mostly the man who trained me. He had such high hopes for me going far but I feel like I'm letting him down by becoming a manager.

[Trouble*]

Trust me when I say this- your trainer will understand. I train a few guys in a local gym here in New York, and recently one of them quit wrestling all together because 'it wasn't his thing'. I didn't mind, because even though I taught him.. He taught me a few things too. He taught me actual life tips.

Don't worry. Trust me.

[velvet]

Thanks. Well I hope that me being in your corner will help you become the top person even sooner. I want to be right there when you win the World Title.

[Trouble*]

..And I WILL become World champion. You can bank on it.

Ryan raises his arm, and glances at the watch sprawled across his wrist. He pushes his shades back up so they cover his eyes once again.

Anything else? Because I really must be going, I need to head over to a little meeting my fathers holding.
