I remember taking one final look at myself in the car mirror, thinking, "come on, Ash, you got this."
What had I signed up for? I knew one thing -- I wanted to win. Receiving an invite for a lesbian-style oil wrestling tournament was a compliment. People vote via a website and I was one of 4 women involved.
I had several weeks' notice. I watched wrestling videos and UFC, trying to adopt training methods. I felt embarrassed at going into a proper gym, not wanting to admin I was competing in 'Lesbian Grapple Quest 4'.
I entered the building. Several of the producers welcomed me, watching on as I stored my bag away and sat down. I'd had everything explained on the phone and they ran a tight schedule.
In she entered. I locked eyes with Sofia for the first time. I may be 5"3, but I was strong and had thick legs. She was 5' 7". Sofia also has gorgeous, long blonde hair. It was billed as Poland vs. Sweden.
She stared opposite me, like she wanted to eat me up and chew me up. THAT pissed me off. This could have been friendly fun between two women competing for $1000 and the right to dominate the other. Plus, the viewership we'd get on our personal pages.
Sofia: "I can see you're strong. Wrestling isn't all about strength. I'm a former gymnastics champion -- flexible and able to be comfortable in various positions."
Ashleigh: "Various positions?"
Sofia: "I'm best enjoyed on my back, you know why?"
Ashleigh: "Enlighten me, Sofia."
Sofia: "Because my tits are natural and bounce wildly when a man's on top of me. Your plastic things probably don't move."
I went bright red. I felt infuriated, as the producers struggled not to laugh. I loved my boobs, albeit them being fake. They weren't two bowling balls. That slut. She was about to pay.
Ashleigh: "Try not to cum when you're bent up like a pretzel, being fucked by my strap on. I was going to choose a 7" one, but maybe they have a 10". But, hey, you're probably used to a big cock or two, right?"
Sofia: "Is that an insult? I can handle my dick. You're too small to take monster cocks."
Ashleigh: "Coming from a woman with pussy flaps so loose you'd think you had 4 kids."
Producer: "You two, play nice. We're about to begin. Who doesn't love a bit of trash talk, eh?"
Sofia and I stood up. She tried to not break eye contact with me. Her piercing (and for fuck sake, attractive) blue eyes looked at me. As she put her hair up, I put mine up too. David, the producer started to oil us both up. My heart was racing, and it was becoming real. I NEEDED this win.
Was she trying to get in my head, Conor McGregor style? As she stripped to her underwear, I did glance at her, admittedly. Her mind games influenced me, which I had mixed feelings over.
Sofia: "You know how I know you're Bisexual?"
