Connie rides again : her third fight

Connie's third fight part 1
By The Masked Writer

It started as an ordinary day at the office. Which means a very bad day.
A few weeks have passed since that memorable catfight took place in the basement, where Connie gave a terrible pounding to poor Carol. Since then, Connie have been even more obnoxious than usual. She talks all the time of "all those catfights" she won and she is trying to get every male in the company while threatening all the women who stands in her way. And they are all terrified of her. Especially Carol, who stays out of Connie's sight as much as she can. She stood up to the red-head once and paid the price for it. Now she tries to avoid Connie who pushes her around and humiliate her every chance she get. There is Marie-Claude, the office infographer, a tall young woman of 21, who doesn't look too frightened but she doesn't have to meet Connie very often. Marie-Claude is about 5'8, 140 pounds, short brown hair, dark skin, a bit chubby.
The weirdest part is Tammi's attitude. Tammi is 5 foot 4, weighs about 110 pounds, a young woman in her twenties with a pretty face, short frosted hair, fair legs and a 34b. She has always been terrified of Connie. But she doesn't look as terrified now as she used too. Many think it's because she saw that Carol, a skinny woman who didn't look like she had a prayer against Connie, gave her a good fight. They say Tammi has put it in her head that she could do better. Another thing is that she has been seeing Marie-Claude a lot, at and after work. Some think it has something to do with that new attitude. Though they can't explain it.
Anyway, Tammi is not running away every time she sees Connie anymore. And that pisses off Connie. So, since that fight, the atmosphere at the office has been absolute poison. Everybody expects something to happen, either between Tammi and Connie, or Connie and Marie-Claude.
Connie is 49, 5'8 and 130 pounds. Pretty trim with killer legs. Always dresses sexy and wears her hair red. She bullies every woman around. That is : those who are smaller than her or are not her bosses. That is why she is prudent with Marie-Claude. The younger, bigger woman, may be more than she could handle, though she will never admit it. On the other hand, many just can't believe that Tammi would really fight against Connie.
And now, Carol is at the water fountain, helping herself with a glass of water, and there comes Connie, mini-skirt, black stockings, purple blouse and all. The skinny, 5'8 100 pounds Carol doesn't see her coming because she is looking in the opposite direction. Connie comes behind her and pushes her rudely on the side. Carol's spills all the water of her glass on her dress. She turns around, furious, but pales when she recognizes Connie.
- "What ? Are you angry ?" Says the red-head, with a smug look on her face.
Carol stays silent, literally choking with anger and fear at the same time.
- "So, what are you gonna do about it ?" Connie asks. Carol, looking scared, wants to turn back but Connie grabs her by the collar of her dress and shakes her.
- "Hey ! You're not so brave now, are you ? Unless you'd want me to give you another lesson, but you know better !"
Then Tammi, who was looking at the scene from a distance for a while, says all loud :
- "Oh ! Stop it, Connie !"
Connie looks at her in disbelief.
- "You said what ? You're telling me to stop it ? Well make me |" And, in jest, she shakes Carol even more. To everybody's surprise, Tammi comes close and grabs Connie's arm, pulling her hand of Carol.
- "You mean like this ?" She says.
For a few second, Connie stays silent with awe, her mouth open. She towers over Tammi by a good 4 inches and, as she looks down at her, her, she just can't belief this is happening.
After a few seconds, she can speak again.
- "Is this happening for real ? Lil' Tammi is not crawling in a corner in front of me as she used too. Lil' Tammi thinks she is a big girl now. She's brave ! Lil' Tammi wants a piece of what Carol got, maybe ?"
Tammi takes a moment to answer. She obviously still have some hesitations, but eventually,
she does :
- "You'd wish. Maybe I will give you a chance to put your money where your mouth is..."
Connie takes a deep breath and says :
- "We can't settle this now, but you are gonna pay for this, shorty ! I?m gonna kick your ass real bad one day !"
Then Marie-Claude steps in.
- "Well, if you're not doing it right now, I don't see the point in not going back to work !" She says.
Connie looks at her and says :
- "Watch what you are doing ! Your turn may come !"
Marie-Claude doesn't look scared a bit.
- "You pick your day."
Connie just answers :
- "I've got Tammi on my list, first !" And she moves away. Before going back to her own office, she looks back and sees Tammi and Marie-Claude talking.
Nothing else happens during this morning and, after lunch, the afternoon looks pretty quiet too. Until a man comes in the office to meet Connie. It is Burt, a lawyer, and Tammi's husband.
- "What do you want ?" She asks. She's a bit worried. He's a lawyer. Is Tammi going to sue her or anything ?
Burt sits in front of her.
- "Well, I have just had a talk with Tammi over the phone... It's about time this thing, between you and her, comes to an end !"
Connie literally sinks in her chair. She thinks this is going to cost an arm and a leg. But she stays silent.
Burt goes on :
- "So, Tammi and I agreed on something. You'll have to agree to it, too, if we want it to work, of course."
Connie's face is white like a dead body's. Burt goes on :
- " I've always dream to see you fight Tammi in an apartment match. She would have none of it before but, strangely, she recently changed her mind. She would agree to it."
The words take some time to sink into Connie's mind. At first she thinks she did not ear him well. He wants Lil' Tammi to fight her, fair and square, in a catfight ?
- "You're kidding !" She erupts. But then she looks at his face and sees he is dead serious.
Then she starts laughing.
- "Ah ! Ah ! Tammi wants to fight ME ?... Ah ! Well name your day, hour and place, Burtie !
When I'm finish with your skinny little wife, she'll be in such a sorry state you'll think about divorce ! Ah !"
Connie is hysterical. She claps her hands and laugh out loud.
Burt gets up.
- "Tonight at 8 !" He says, and he throws an hotel card on Connie's desk. He continues :
- "At this hotel, suite 114. I rented it."
Connie takes the card.
- "You bet I'll be there !"
Burt gets up and walks out.
Connie manages to finish early because she wants to have time to stop at her apartment and change clothes. She is surprised to see that everybody in the office seems to have done the same. When she leaves her desk there's hardly anybody left at the office.
She is even more surprised when she gets down to the parking lot. The whole office personnel is there, gathered around Burt. She stops to look in amazement and she sees money changing hands.
- "Bloody bastard is taking bets !" She realizes. Before going on to her car she shouts :
- "You better put you money on me !"
Every face turns in her direction. For a second the money swapping stops. Then another voice breaks the silence.
- "That's what we are going to see tonight !"
Connie turns to see who said that. She sees Tammi, with that stupid Marie-Claude again.
Connie just shows them a middle finger and goes to her car.
- "I am going to show them all what a real woman is ! I am going to give her such a beating it will look like I pampered Carol by comparison !"
And she starts the car.
