Viva Las Vegas ch. 12
Korra was tying up her black Chucks as she was finishing getting ready for her first training session with THE Lin Beifong. The fighter is really excited about this and wanted to get to it already. The Alaskan got from the bed and walked out of the bedroom to find her wife in the kitchen. Asami looked at her wife to see that she's bouncing up and down excitedly. She kinda looks like a puppy and it's kinda cute. The raven haired woman prepared something for the darker woman to eat while she's training.
The paler woman knew that the shorter woman wouldn't remember to bring something to eat so that's where she comes in. The taller woman rolls up the brown paper bag and hands it to Korra. She hesitantly takes it and looks at Asami with a confused look on her face.
"What's this?" Korra asked confused.
"Lunch. I'm wanted to make sure that you have something to eat so you won't pass out from trying to power through training on an empty stomach" Asami said smiling a little.
"How did you know that I didn't already packed something?" Korra asked raising an eyebrow.
"Did you?" Asami asked raising an eyebrow.
"That's not that point" Korra said blushing a little.
"Then what is the point, Babe?" Asami asked smirking.
"I don't have to explain myself to you, woman" Korra said as her cheeks darken further.
"I was only teasing you, Korra. Relax" Asami said giggling.
"Whatever, I gotta go…. But thank you" Korra said pouting.
"You're welcome and good luck in training" Asami said kissing Korra on the cheek.
Korra's cheeks got darker if possible before walking out the door. Asami giggles a little at her blushing wife before grabbing her keys and her messenger bag and walking out the door. She has class today and couldn't miss it. The raven haired woman was hoping that the fighter would like the little surprise that she left in her lunch. The Alaskan hopped on the bus towards Lin's gym so she start her training session with her.
Korra has the address memorize in her brain so she would know where she was going and wouldn't be late. The fighter was excited about this and was one step closer to her dream of becoming a great MMA fighter. It was a 30 minute ride to get to the gym and the Alaskan hopped off of the bus. She was standing in front of a medium sized gym with the words LIN'S GYM in bold green lettering in the front.
Korra took a deep breath before walking into the gym. She saw a secretary with long black hair in a bun and glass. The woman's nametag said that her name was Ming-Hua. Ming-Hua looked at the fighter with a kind smile on her face.
"You must be Korra" Ming-Hua said smiling.
"How did you know my name?" Korra asked surprised.
"Lin told me that you would be coming by today and said to let you in the back. So you go down the hall and take a left" Ming-Hua instructed.
"Um thank you" Korra said caught off guard a little.
"Good luck to you because you're gonna need it" Ming-Hua said laughing a little.
Korra raised an eyebrow before walking to the back. She followed Ming-Hua's instructions and walked into the back room. The fighter was amazed at the size of the work out room because from the outside, the building doesn't look at that big. The Alaskan set her work-out bag down by one of the benches on the side as she looks around the places. Some of the fighters were already working out. This place is cool.
I can't believe that I get to work-out here! "You must be the newbie that everyone is talking about"
Korra turned around to see that it was a guy with shoulder length black hair. He has same blue eyes and tan skin as the fighter. The guy was wearing a dark blue tank top and grey sweatpants. He was standing in front of the Alaskan with one hand on his hip and a look of difference on his face.
"I guess… I'm Korra by the way. You are?" Korra asked holding out her hand.
"The name's Hasook and don't think just because you're new here that you're gonna get special treatment. Just stay out of the way and let the real fighters train" Hasook said walking away.
Attitude much? What the hell is his problem?
"Don't mind him too much. He's just cranky that my aunt picked someone else to train instead of him for a change"
Korra turned to see that it was a girl with a bob cut. She had to admit that the girl was pretty and really pretty green eyes. Not as pretty as Asami's eyes but there pretty anyways…. Where the hell did that come from? My focus is slipping. The was at least 2 or 3 inches shorter than the fighter was and she was dressed in green work-out clothes. The Alaskan didn't know the girl all the well but could tell that she was nice and they were gonna get along well.
"Someone needs to take him down a few pegs" Korra said folding her arms.
"I think so too. My name is Opal" Opal said holding out her hand.
"I'm Korra and it's nice to meet you, Opal. Wait did you say your aunt? Who's your aunt?" Korra asked raising an eyebrow.
"I'm surprised that you don't see the family resemblance. My aunt is Lin Beifong but don't tell the others that or they'll get the wrong idea" Opal said smiling sheepishly.
"Don't worry, your secret is safe with me but I can't believe that Lin's your aunt. Are you a fighter too?" Korra asked curious.
"No, I just help with training the fighters and making sure that their training goes over smoothly. I thought it would be a good way for my Aunt and I to get closer" Opal said shrugging.
"You and Lin aren't close?"
"No, really. Her and my Mom had a falling out when they were younger and they didn't talk for a long time. They worked out the problems a few months ago and I want to build a relationship with her. It's proving to be a difficult since my Aunt isn't the most affectionate, patient, or easiest person to be around"
"I'm sure that she's not used to having someone wanting to get to know her. Just be patient with her and I know that she'll open up to you one way or another" Korra said putting her hand on Opal's shoulder.
"Thanks Korra, I appreciate it. Let's get you warmed up and we'll start your training" Opal said smiling.
"Let's do it" Korra said nodding.
Opal warmed Korra up with push-ups, sit-ups, and running laps around the gym. The fighter didn't know this but she was being watched by Lin. She was standing in her office above the gym, looking through the one way glass window. The older woman knew that leaving the fighter with her niece would be a good idea. Opal has extensive knowledge of the MMA game and she's closer in age to Korra. I'll still oversee her training and step in when I deem necessary but she'll learn better from someone close to her own age.
Opal had the Alaskan practice new maneuvers on a practice dummy with 5 pound wrist weights on each wrists. The darker woman never had to work this hard in her life before. She worked hard no matter what she was doing but the younger woman was pushing harder than anyone she's trained with. Korra didn't mind the hard work if it's gonna help her in the long run. After 2 hours of training, Opal decided that older woman earned a break and broke for lunch.
The Alaskan sat in the break room with her lunch bag sitting in from of her before opening it. In it was a sandwich with ham, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and mayo, a bottle of water, Lay's potato chips, a fruit cup and a note. Korra looked at the note and read its.
Hey Korra,
If you're reading this then you're actually eating the lunch that I made for you. I hope that they're not working you too but I know that you can handle it. Anyways, I hope that you like the lunch and I'll see you get home tonight. Go 'em, Tiger
~Asami
The note brought a smile to the fighter's face and neatly putting it in her work-out so it would be safe. The Alaskan turned to her lunch and got started on the sandwich. Wow, this is actually good. I may be a high maintenance chick for a wife but damn can she made a mean sandwich.
"Wow that looks good. You made it?"
Korra looked up to see that it was Opal who was sitting across from her with a salad in front of her.
"No, actually… my wife did" Korra said taking another bite.
"Aren't you kinda young to be married?" Opal asked surprised.
"Hehe you would think but in the words of my wife 'She can be rather convincing when she wants something'. I was tricked into it and here we are" Korra said laughing a little.
"She sounds like an incredible woman. You're very lucky to have found someone that cares about you that much" Opal said smiling.
"You could say that but I have to say that I feel like I don't deserve her. She's just so perfect and I'm not plus we had a rocky beginning" Korra said sighing.
It's too that she and Asami has a rocky beginning with everything that had happened with Mako. Korra felt inferior to the older woman because she was good at everything that she did. The raven haired woman was everything that she wasn't and it pissed the younger woman off. Yet the taller woman wanted to be her friend no matter how bad the shorter woman treated her. They becoming friends was a foreign concept to Korra and it still kinda is.
Why would Asami want to be my friend after everything I did to her? I don't deserve her though she would probably tell me different. She's generous, thoughtful and kind and I'm just not. I've been a complete ass to her for a year. I definitely deserve to be alone.
"I'm sure that your wife would disagree with you. I may not know you that well Korra but I can tell you care very dearly about her though I get the feeling that you haven't told her that" Opal said tilting her head to the side.
"Not lately. I'm not good with verbally expressing myself since it's been just me and my fists for so long" Korra said finishing off her sandwich.
"You can show it some other way that shows that you can care" Opal said grabbing Korra's hand.
"Maybe but thanks for the advice, Opal" Korra said smiling half-heartedly.
"You're welcome. Hurry up and eat so we can get back to training" Opal said turning back to her salad.
Korra finished off her lunch before returning to training with Opal. They went in on the training and the fighter was being pushed to her limits. The Alaskan never felt this tired in her life before glad that she was tried because it means that she's putting the work in. Korra said her goodbyes to Opal and Ming-Hua on her way out the gym. The fighter hopped on the bus and rode back home to find the apartment empty.
Where did Asami go? Must have went to class or something. The Alaskan jumped into the shower and took a quick shower before changing into a t-shirt and shorts. She flopped on the bed and closed her eyes for a quick second. It wasn't long before Korra heard the front door open and closed. She heard feet shuffling towards the bedroom and sees a very tired Asami.
"You like you're ready to drop" Korra said sitting up.
"I had two classes back to back and I'm really tried. How was training?" Asami asked putting her bag in the closet.
"Tiring but good. Hey, come here for a sec" Korra said patting the space in front of her.
"Why?" Asami asked raising an eyebrow.
"Just come here" Korra said rolling her eyes.
Asami walked over and sat in front of her wife. Korra rubs her hands together for a second before placing them on her wife's shoulder and massaging them. The paler woman was surprised by it but welcomed it nonetheless. She never knew that the darker woman was so good with her hands like it. The taller woman was putty in her wife's hand and didn't mind it one bit. The shorter woman seen how tense Asami was and wanted to do something nice for her.
She's always doing something for me and I want to return the favor. Looks like it's working. The raven haired moaned a little.
"Looks like someone's enjoying this" Korra said smirking a little.
"I d-didn't know that you're g-good at massages. Y-You've done this b-before?" Asami asked trying to think straight.
"Nope, you would be the first and looks like I'm pretty good at it" Korra said smirking even more.
"Y-You are. This feels amazing" Asami said moaning loudly.
"I aim to please" Korra said continuing to her administrations.
Asami could feel the tension in her shoulder melting away from Korra's very talented fingers. The fighter stopped and her wife was a little disappointed.
"Better?"
"Very much. Thank you, Korra" Asami said kissing Korra on the cheek.
"Y-You're welcome" Korra said blushing.
"You're cute when you blush" Asami said smirking.
"S-Shut up. Go change or something" Korra said blushing even more.
The older woman laugh at how cute her wife was being. She got up and grabbed some clothes to change into. The younger woman shakes her head before climbing under the covers. It wasn't long before raven haired woman returned and the fighter's eyes almost bugged out of their sockets. The taller woman was standing in the doorway in nothing but a black tank top and white panties. The shorter woman want to look away but just couldn't.
OH MY GOD, SHE'S NOT WEARING A BRA! I CAN SEE HER NIPPLES! CODE RED: LOOK AWAY! CODE RED: LOOK AWAY! Asami walked climbed over her wife before climbing under the covers. She wraps her arms around Korra's waist and snuggled up to her, tangling their legs together.
"Seriously remind me to get you a body pillow"
"I don't see why. I have the perfect body pillow right here" Asami said kissing Korra's neck.
"Hey! Stop that, woman" Korra said trying to glaring at Asami.
"What? We are married and married couples are affectionate with each other" Asami said giggling.
"You want me to kiss you?" Korra asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, I do" Asami said looking Korra in the eyes.
Korra tried to find any sign that she might be kidding but didn't. Asami was being very serious about this. The fighter took in a deep breath as her right hand gently grabs the back of the raven haired woman's head and pulls her down. Their lips met and a spark of electricity flowed through them. The Alaskan pulled back only for the fashion major to smash their lips together. The older woman shifted so that she was on top of her wife, straddling her.
She was slightly turned on from the massage that she received and the kiss turned her even more. The younger woman swept her tongue across her wife's lips and she parted her lips. The room was quickly getting heated when the phone rang breaking up the very 'distracted' couple. The phone went to the answering service and it was a voice the Korra knew very well.
"Hi Korra, this is your mother and I was hoping that you would've answered the phone. Your Farther and I are coming down to California tomorrow to check up on you and see how you're doing. I'm so excited to see you after so long. We'll see you soon" Senna said hanging up.
"Shit! This is bad" Korra said groaning.
"Why? I thought you would be excited to see your parents" Asami said confused.
"It's not that. It's just that I haven't told them that I got married and I don't know how they're gonna take it" Korra said running her hand through her hair.
"Then we should just tell them the truth. We were drunk at the time and we're getting it annulled in 6 months" Asami said sadly.
"No, I can't do that. They would really disappointed in me. Ugh, this is so complicated" Korra said shaking her head.
"I'll be right there. You were there for me and we call it even" Asami said smiling.
"Thanks Asami, you're not such a snob as I made you out to be" Korra said smiling back.
"You're my wife and my family. I would do anything for you" Asami said kissing Korra on the cheek.
