A Locker Room Encounter jimsub81

Drew was now doubly upset. Not only had he and Corwin lost a hard fought title match but his partner and best friend Corwin had told him he was quitting feeling that he had lost the match for himself and Drew. As Drew was packing up his things he heard the voices of Keith and Rich. He was really in no mood to deal with these two jerks.

They spoke to each other but the words were meant for Drew's ears. "Hey Keith", said Rich, "Would you look at that? Isn't that Drew over there?" Keith responded in an equally sarcastic and annoying tone, "Why, yes Rich, it sure looks like Drew but where's Corwin?" News of Corwin's departure had spread fast and Drew knew damn well that they knew the story of Corwin's quitting. Keith continued the taunting. "Awe, doesn't he look sad Rich? I sure wish we could help him don't you?" Rich kept up the teasing,"I sure do Keith." Rich turned now to Drew and addressed him directly, "Come on Drewy, cheer up and look on the bright side. Maybe your next partner won't be the loser like Corwin was." Drew had been containing his anger but couldn't anymore and he exploded at Rich, "You shut your face Rich! OK we lost. But we lost to the two toughest guys in the league. As I recall RICHIE we beat the shit out of the two of you!" Rich moved closer to Drew and dropped the joking manner of speech, "But....Drewy", said Rich poking a finger into Drew's chest , "I don't see a 'we' anymore. All I see is a 'you'. And YOU aren't much without your...how shall we say?...better half" Drew moved in closer to Rich so that they were literally nose to nose. Drew had to look up just a bit as Rich was 3 inches taller and said, " So..you don't think so huh?...Well Richie..., I'd be happy to kick your ass anytime anyplace and I don't need Corwin to help me do it." "OK", said Rich with a sly grin,"How about right here, next week?!" Drew just snarled back and said, "You're on, I'll sign the contract right now." At that Rich held out his hand and Keith stuffed a contract into it already drawn up. Rich had set out to get this match and his plan succeeded perfectly. Drew signed the contract and stormed out. As he hit the doors Rich called out, "Hey Drewy..If I see Corwin should I tell him you said 'Hello'?" Drew paused at the doors torn between slapping the smile off the smug Rich's face or just walking away. He chose the latter and heard the loud laughter of Keith and Rich as the door closed.
