ody Carson sat on his couch, it was an old beast of a couch but hell it worked. The duct tape held it together nicely. He held an ice cold beer to his forehead and was glaring at Carmen Dumas. “What?” She asked, with a smile.
“Why did you hit me?”
“Why did you come out of retirement?” She shot back.
“Carmen, the mill wasn’t cutting it anymore. I liked the grunt work but I need more. I need to be in the ring. ” Cody tried to explain. “The ring is who I am, its what I am.”
“You can’t stand the thought of just being normal, settling down and having a normal family?” She asked, as she opened a beer and took a swig. “I mean Baby, I want to just be normal.”
“I didn‘t say you had to come.” Cody retorted. The beer in Carmen’s hand slowly started to raise as she prepared to throw it. “I‘m just saying if you want to say here you can. I can control my career.”
“Why would I not want to be with you? I love you.”
“Hun, I‘m just suggesting if you wanted to live your normal life, you could stay here.”
“So you don‘t want me with you?” She questioned.
“No…” Cody replied. “Jesus, why are women so fucking confusing.”
“What’s that suppose to mean?”
“It means why do you and every other fuckin woman in this world make it so hard for us to live. Guys its two ways. The right way and my way. For women it’s a billion ways. Oh you want me with you so I have to drop my normal life for your career. Then we say no and its like, Oh So you don’t want me with you. And it goes on and on. For fuck sakes just make up your mind. You want to be part of my Career or not. Either way I’m fine with it. ” finally Carmen was taken back a notch surprised that Cody had a good point. She walked over to him and dropped down onto the couch beside him letting out a yelp as the spring poked her in the ass.
“I‘m sorry babe.” Carmen said, looking into Cody’s eyes. “I‘m just…”
“Worried I‘ll get hurt?” Cody said finishing what he thought she was going to say.
“No.” She said plainly. Cody’s jaw dropped. “I know you can handle yourself in the ring Cody. I know that you are an animal… In and out of the ring.” Her face brightened and she kissed his cheek.
“Then what?” Cody asked truly puzzled.
“I just want us to still be together after all this is done.” She said as she looked at the floor.
Cody wrapped his arms around her; after opening his beer of course, and pulled her onto his lap, kissing her collar bone. “Babe, what makes you think that we won‘t?”
“Even time you join a federation, something between us happens. We fight more, we break up, we have to move… Something every time.” She sighed. “I just… Like life as it is.”
“So did I…”Cody said. “Until I was in a war with the cabbage family.” The two laughed at that. “But the minute we start fighting more, or we start acting like me are going to break up I‘ll leave the fed. Plus, I can‘t move from here. I have to many memories.” Cody said leaning back.
“What about the people in this fed?” Carmen said as she leaned on him. “I mean the ‘fantastic’ FOUR isn’t here with us. ” Cody smiled at the way she referred to Seth, Jalie herself and him.
“We only need us. Two out of four is better then one.” Cody looked down. “Besides, I don‘t know how fantastic we would be.”
“Come on your still not upset at Seth… Are you?”
“No, I beat his ass twice. I gained my respect.”
“Then what is it?”
“He still hates me.” Cody shrugs, “Maybe its better that way.”
“Jalie still loves you…” Carmen stated.
“Yeah, but she is his. You are mine. I’m happy with that. ”
“As am I.”
Cody kissed her passionately and dropped her down onto the couch spilling his beer. He continued to kiss her neck, sliding his tongue down here body he started to massage her breast when the door flew open. Cody jumped and turned to the door. “Who the fuck do you think you are?”
“Hey honey, I‘m home.” Came a males voice from the door way.
“Who are you?” A man walked in with a pair of Army pants on and a black wife beater.
“Cody?”
“Justin?” Cody asked shocked.
“Yeah fucking right bitch.”
“What are you doing here?” Cody said sitting up onto the couch as Carmen adjusted her shirt and sat up behind him kissing his naked shoulder blade.
“I‘m your new Neighbor.” The man replied Smiling widely.
“So go to your own fucking apartment. I was busy.”
“Oh…”He said, not catching on. “OH!!!” He exclaimed catching on. “I‘ll talk to you later then.”
“Yeah.” Cody said and Justin walked out and slammed the door behind him. Cody looked at Carmen.
“Who was that?” Carmen asked.
“Someone who should have died in Iraq.” Cody said falling back onto the couch as Carmen slowly pulled herself on top of him Mounting him. She rested her hands on his rippling chest and smiled.
“So…”
Cody flexed his chest and made her laugh. “So… ” The two smirked and Carmen pulled her shirt off as the screen fades to static.
Fuck off, before I traumatize you for life. If blood, violence, gore, stupid humor,religious jokes, sexist jokes, and a whole lot of fucking sound a little too outrageous for your tastes, then grab your purse, adjust your skirt and get the fuck out of my sight.
