Crashing into the mat like that hurt like hell, but I breathe through the pain while I lay there, clutching my aching tummy. Truth be told, it's more of my pride that's been hurt, but nevertheless I shake that particular stinging feeling away as I start to regain my bearings. Thoughts of getting the luscious Latina back begin to replace my embarrassment, and slowly I start to push myself up - only to feel an arm hook around my shoulder. Startled, I open my eyes, to see the lovely face of Chloe, up close and in my visage. I blink, as she offers a few kind words, spoken in a soft tone that completely disarms me. I raise to my feet with her assistance, my legs a bit shaky, but the pain in my mid-section had already subsided. She continues speaking warmly to me, and I gaze up at her with a sort of sheepish affection. She offers that we team up in this match, which makes me grin in delight. Thoughts of dominating this match alongside the tall, gorgeous gal begin to cloud my mind, and I nod eagerly. The way she stares deep into my eyes is just so.. calming. Even in the midst of battle I feel totally at ease the way she's staring into my eyes. I feel her fingers wrap around my hand and I blush softly, the smile lingering on my lips. I step closer to Chloe, gazing up into her eyes, purring softly, "yeah...you're right, Chloe. We would be unstoppable... together. Let's do it, sugah."
I watch in almost a daze as she begins to move away from me, turning my attention to Carmen or one of the other gals that would get crushed by our new alliance---
"UGHH!!"
Chloe pivoted and struck me HARD, right in the chest. I'm off my feet and crashing down onto the mat, this time the landing hurt even MORE than the missed Moonsault. I clutch my chest and roll on to my side, writhing, moaning, eyes shut once again, stunned by the turn of events. Through the pain in my chest, I can hear Chloe speaking down to me - her voice is still maintains that lovely tone, but there's a bit of an edge to it as she speaks down to me. I open my eyes to thin slits as I writhe at her feet. I glare hotly at her beautiful face as she towers over me, again feeling more embarrassed than in actual pain. The surprise closeline was a solid shot and is enough to keep me down for a lil' while, and now I truly know Chloe certainly packs a punch. But it is more the humiliation of being duped, of being tricked, lured in by this beautiful gal only to fall into her trap. That's what's burning inside me now, embarrassed that she captured me so easily. Well, I do always fall for the pretty ones... Despite my embarrassment and pain, I can't help but admire the gal's cleverness. She's definitely a dangerous one. Chloe drops one last insult onto me before she begins to move away, and I hiss out after her,
"...ohh sugah... I'll get ya for that..nnnhhhh.."
