At the Gym. {O2A}

[~To Be Decided]

// After Rebecca's grueling trip down to the states and getting an issue with her passport and her working visa straightened away, her first act of business was getting her contract signed with XWA. The signing went off without a hitch, as the terms of the agreement seemed more than fair for both parties. But now she was finally ready to let off some steam. She had heard from some one at the XWA facilities that this gym was one of the best around. So she figured she may as well give it a go.

Upon her arrival at the gym, Rebecca looked around the large and open Gym. She smiled seeing the same type of people at this gym than at her gym back home. There were the typical people doing their stereotypical exercises. Some steroid abusing jock types trying to see who could out lift each other at one end, and at the other end were of course all the typical plastic bimbo's "working out", or whatever they called Yoga or Pilates bullshit these days.

Nobody seemed to heed her any attention at all. It probably helped that she wasn't wearing any flashy clothing. She was wearing a typical Orange Sports-bra esque top and some black and orange board shorts. Which, in reality, wasn't too far off of her preferred ring attire that she recently had made for herself, and it also showed off her surprisingly chiseled physique. However, the fact that she hadn't been on TV for a few years probably helped people recognize her. Nobody knew or probably cared who she was anymore.

Seeing a type of station that she had spent a fair amount of hours on over the past few months, Rebecca made her way over to the incline bench. Grabbing a simple 45 lbs weight off of the rack close to the bench, she made her way over to the bench. Hooking her legs underneath the rest, she gripped the weight tightly with both hands as she rested it behind her head as she lay on the inclined bench. Taking a deep breath she started her set of incline sit ups. This exercise was one of the reasons how she had gotten as fit as she was.

Focusing entirely on the exercise, it was amazing just how effective it was for her to forget about her past troubles while doing this. It was also amazing just how efficient she was at tuning out her surroundings while doing it as well, which was the main reason why she didn’t use any sort of iPod or music player while working out. Focusing, she didn’t even notice that somebody was actually approaching her. //

The person that was approaching her was Romeo Davis. Romeo had been going though some changes the past several weeks doing some soul searching and trying to figure out who he was. The last season in the XWA was rough for him because he turned into this person he never wanted to be. Everyone saw a change in him and they didn’t like it one bit. It got to the point where his family didn’t speak to him because of how he was. Now things were different. He fixed things with his family and mostly importantly his sister and now he was a changed man for the better. He began living a better lifestyle and started going to the gym more often to get into better shape and to get prepared for the upcoming XWA season. He wanted to be at the top of his game and that wasn’t going to happen if he sits around all day which is the reason why he is at the gym.

It was at the end of his workout and the last thing he wanted to do was use the incline bench to do sit ups. The incline bench always gave the best results. As he made his way over to the incline bench he saw someone else using it. He thought about waiting but it couldn’t hurt to ask if they can both use it. It’s kind of weird because there are many other things he can do but the incline bench was a must for him. So he approached the woman using the incline bench and asked if he could use it also.

I’m sorry but there is no other incline bench in this gym. Do you mind if I hop on that also? If not that’s cool I’ll just go do something else. It’s just that I believe using the incline bench is one of the best ways to really get a good workout for the abs.

// Not being clueless as to who the man was, she instantly recognized him. She had made sure to watch the wrestling companies on TV and Pay per View whenever she could when she was on her hiatus. She knew how he acted pretty much all the end of last season and she didn't really like it. But he was the first wrestler she had come across since officially signing with XWA.

Figuring she had done enough of her situps for today, she got off the bench with ease and stretched slightly before placing the weight back on the rack. Looking Romeo she figured she may as well get back to being somewhat social with people again, especially now that she was going to have to work with people now. //

Well, I don't think there's any room for two on the bench there, but you're free to have at it... Romeo right?

// Remembering that she probably would have to introduce herself she outstretched her hand and said. //

My Names' Rebecca. I just signed with XWA this morning.

[Romeo Davis]

Yeah it is Romeo.

He outstretched his hand to her hand and shook it.

Well it’s a pleasure to meet you Rebecca. I work with the XWA also. I’m assuming that’s how you knew my name. It’s going to be my third year here. I’m guessing you probably caught some action from last year in the XWA. If you did, I’m not that same guy anymore but I guess I’m gonna have to prove that to everyone. But yeah, how long have you been wrestling?

// Listening to Romeo and seeing the outstretched hand Rebecca was definitely faced with a choice. A part of her wanted to be a complete bitch to him, the part of her that was still battered and felt the need to defend herself from any potential harm. But, she knew that she had to overcome and put that part of her away long enough for it to heal.

Forcing a slight smile, she shakes his hand, in a gesture of good intentions at least.//

Well, a fresh start never hurt anybody... which is sort of what my return to wrestling is for me...

// Not even wanting to think about she was turning over a new leaf from, she shook it off and continued. //

But I've technically only been wrestling in the "Big-Leagues" for one season. It was a federation based in Toronto, sadly though, its lifespan left much to be desired.

// Glancing around the gym quickly, she then looked back at Romeo, not entirely sure what else there was to say to this man. //

[Romeo Davis]

Well that’s good that you have at least one year in the pros under your belt. The XWA is full of great wrestlers and it has one of the best women’s wrestling division. There are many challenges that lie ahead but if you keep your head straight and work hard day in and day out, you will do well in this business.

Just as Romeo was about to do a second set on the incline bench, his phone begins to vibrate. He pulls out his Droid phone to see that it was a text message. He quickly reads it and notices that it is important. He quickly shoves the phone into his pocket and looks back at Rebecca.

I’m really sorry I gotta cut this short but I have to head out. Something important has come up and I have to get there. Good luck with everything. I’ll probably see you again around the XWA. Later Rebecca.

He quickly walks to the locker room to grab his things and quickly leaves the gym. Whatever this was had to have been very important.
