Chance Encounters
Chyna was sitting backstage, getting ready for the conference for the big PPV. She was main eventing it and as it turned out, the company wanted her to remain in character as they all did their little bit of trash talking and so on. She was excited for it, this whole approach where old school aesthetic was returning, where you didnât break your persona instead of the recent trend where kayfabe was all but shattered for good.
She was wearing a double breasted black suit and matching trousers, a gold bracelet and matching necklace and earrings. A belt with words C9 in buckle was seen around her waist, custom made from Chanel and the ensemble was topped off with Louboutins. A fedora was placed on a stand next to her. Bit of a departure from her usual leather in ring attire but then again, this was a different kind of event.
She was now just waiting for her makeup artist to show up and work her magic. Sandra was late.
It wasnât her usual style even if she had to fly in from a different location this time round. That is, when her assistant Emily showed up.
âSandra said she canât make it. Her flight got delayed.â She informed Chyna, knowing fully well The 9th Wonder wonât be happy to hear that.
A mild frown spread over Chynaâs lips as she gave a nod. âWell thatâs a bummer, but please donât tell me that I have to do my own makeup now!â
Emily chuckled. âNo, of course not. Iâve arranged for a replacement. I had to work some magic but sheâll be here in few. You owe me one for this!â
âOnly if sheâs up to the mark!â Chyna shot back with a grin. âJust kidding of course, youâre a lifesaver. Thank you so much for it.â
âLet me bring her in and introduce to you. By the way, she doesnât know whoâs her client for the evening.â Emily responded with a thin smile before the plucky assistant sauntered out.
Chyna took a moment to eye herself in the mirror. She definitely filled the suit incredibly well. It was going to be quite the power statement that she intended to make out there.
As she always did.

Donât get lost in those eyes. Donât get lost in those eyes. Say something funny before ⊠well, before what, she didnât know, but she wasnât about to ruin her own reputation as a makeup artist. Jennifer did think of something funny, and cracked herself up a bit as she said it.
âIn the Yoga studio.â
And she had the muscle to prove it, but they were nothing like Chynaâs. No matter how hard she worked out, her muscles stayed small.
She glanced nervously over at the clock, but realized she wasnât sure exactly when curtain time was.
âIf I tried to do your make-up again now, I think my hands would shake. And with that she took hold of both of Chynaâs hands with her own to prove her story. She was indeed, trembling.
The sudden mention of Yoga studio had Chyna giggling playfully. âYoga studio? Really?â Her eyebrow lofted mirthfully as she gently touched Jenniferâs chin and nuzzled softly.
âHoney, I love YogaâŠ.and Iâm sure weâll be going for that together from now on. But I asked something entirely different and you know that!â She wasnât letting go, teasing Jennifer some more but also keeping it gentle, comfortable.
But the words that Jennifer said after that made Chynaâs eyes widen and to prove them, the brunette took hold of Chynaâs hands. Chyna could feel the tremble. The excitement pulsing through the other woman.
âOh JenniferâŠ.â Chyna murmured before she disentangled her hands and took Jenniferâs hands in her own, ensuring that they would be steadied.
ââŠ.Iâm always there to steady you.â She whispered and smiled in the sweetest of ways. The moment, it stood still as it was savored, etched in their memories.
âNow how about we go out first?â
Those hands were warm and smooth and strong. Jennifer had a thing for hands. Chyna's hands took hold of hers with a careful strength, and she felt the nervous shake leave her. They held each other's gaze as well, and she felt the nervousness leave her mind as well.
They very well might have been falling in love with each other that moment, but what that really meant was there would be no more confusion. No more waiting. No more wondering if she would ever find love. Here she was, and better than Jennifer had ever imagined. When Chyna suggested going out now, something crossed her mind unexpectedly. She gave the woman's hands another squeeze, and looked at her quite seriously.
"Don't . . .don't say my name out there." Her bluegreen eyes darted away. Gosh, this better not be a deal breaker, but . .what if it was? "There is this guy who looks for me sometimes." She changed the subject as quickly as she could, wanting to gloss over it a bit. "How about . . a nick name?" She asked, looking back, artificially light hearted.
