Slaughterhouse

Meeting the Guys

Rhea catches her breath and sits up in the ring. She looks up at Carmen, who is now kneeling beside her. An impressed grin crosses her face.

"Not a bad finisher if it took me out like that." Rhea compliments.

Carmen shrugs, "my signature."

"Now let's talk about that pin position. Pretty suggestive don't you think?" Rhea asks.

"Don't act like you didn't enjoy having me on top of you like that." Carmen winks.

Rhea laughs and leans back on her hands, stretching her legs out and crossing her ankles. She looks at Carmen, studying her.

"What is it?" Carmen asks.

"Maybe you wouldn't be a bad addition to the faction after all. I'll tell creative." Rhea says and stands.

Carmen raises a brow and looks up at Rhea before standing as she hops out of the ring.

"You'll tell creative?" She asks.

"After the stunt you pulled at NXT it only makes sense. And also what Mami wants, Mami gets." Rhea smirks at her as she grabs her bag.

Carmen hops out of the ring and walks to her own. She looks at Rhea and grins.

"You call yourself Mami outside of the ring?" She asks.

"Why wouldn't I?" Rhea chuckles and Carmen shrugs, smiling.

"I like it." She winks at Rhea before walking out of the building.

Rhea follows behind her and makes her way to the big black truck beside Carmen's SUV.

"Meeting the boys for lunch. You wanna come meet them?" Rhea asks, standing by the passenger side as she puts her bag in the backseat.

Carmen smiles and nods.

"Sure why not." She says.

"Good. Get in." Rhea says before going back around the truck and getting in.

Surprised that she wants her to leave her car, Carmen shrugs and locks her car up before climbing into Rhea's passenger seat. Just as she buckles up, Rhea turns on her bluetooth and scrolls through her music.

"What do you listen to." She asks without looking up.

"Motionless in White. Slaughterhouse obviously is my favorite." Carmen answers.

Rhea looks up at that and grins, nodding.

"I should have known. I take it that's your ring name inspiration?"

"Hell yes it is." Carmen smirks.

"Interesting." She says before playing the song and setting her phone down.

Rhea drives out of the parking lot and the two silently nod to the beat of the music as they approach the restaurant. Once there, Rhea pulls into a spot outside the doors of a small diner.

"It was Dom's turn to choose." She says and gets out.

Carmen hops out as well and follows Rhea inside. She looks around as she follows her to a booth in the back. Damian and Finn are sitting across from each other with Dom next to Finn. The two smile up at Carmen and scoot over to make room while Rhea takes the spot next to Damian.

"Boys this is Carmen. Carmen this is Finn, Dom and Damian." She says, pointing to each of them respectively.

"Hey." She smiles at them as they each smile back at her.

"She's joining The Judgment Day." Rhea says as she picks up a menu.

"Yeah? You must have some skill if you impressed Rhea enough for her to let you join." Finn smiles and nudges her.

"I pinned her, so yeah you could say that." Carmen smiles proudly.

Rhea rolls her eyes as all the guys turn their gazes to her in surprise.

"She pinned you?" Dom asks with a smile.

"Shut up Dom." Rhea shakes her head.

The waitress walks over and they each order their food.  When she walks away, Carmen notices Rhea's eyes on her. She looks over at her and winks. Rhea laughs.

"You really think that's doing something huh?" She asks.

Carmen shrugs and takes a sip of her drink that the waitress brought back. The guys are talking amongst themselves and Rhea and Carmen listen quietly. Exchanging random glances every now and then. It's not awkward, but Carmen would love to know what she's thinking.

Once they finish eating, Carmen checks her phone and notices the time.

"I've gotta run. I have a date at the spa." She says and pulls out her wallet.

She puts money on the table for the whole bill and smiles.

"You don't need to pay for us." Rhea says.

"I want to. Consider it a thank you for letting me in." She says.

"I'll take you back to your car." Rhea replies and stands.

Carmen nods. She had completely forgotten that Rhea drove her here. They say goodbye to the guys and make their way to Rhea's truck. On their way back to her car, Carmen looks over at Rhea. She's got one hand on the steering wheel and one hand on her thigh. She's watching the road, and quietly humming to the song playing.

"I can feel you staring at me. Out with it." Rhea says.

"You know I think there's something wrong with my eyes. Because I just can't take them off you." Carmen replies.

She watches as Rhea's grip gets tighter on the steering wheel. She glances over at her quickly before looking back at the road.

"That was terrible." Rhea replies, but she's grinning.

"Yeah your body language says otherwise."

Rhea chuckles as she pulls into the parking lot next to Carmen's SUV. She looks over at her and Carmen watches as her eyes trail down to her lips, her neck and her chest before back up to meet her eyes.

"Like what you see?" Carmen asks softly.

Rhea smirks, "Meet us at the performance center tomorrow. We're training there the next few days before flying out to the next state for Raw. We'll see how you hold up against people that aren't in the group."

"I'll be there." Carmen says before hopping out of the truck.

Just before she closes the door she's stopped by Rhea talking.

"And Carmen?" She starts.

Carmen looks up at her.

"If you're going to flirt with me, you're gonna have to do better than that." Rhea winks.

Carmen laughs and shuts the door. She watches Rhea drive away before getting in her own car and driving to the spa.
