There John stood in the bathroom, leaning over the sink. He was steading his breath, taking his hat off; he turned on the faucet, splashing cold water on his face to wake himself up. Wiping off his face, John placed his hat back on, running his on the back of his neck. He looked at his reflection in the mirror and smiled, bowing his head down, chuckling. In the past 3 years, John Cena's life had changed, and recently he got the biggest one of them all.

John's life began to change when he divorced his wife Liz, in 2012 after 3 years of marriage. She couldn't handle him being away all the time for his job, and John couldn't take all the fighting and yelling anymore. The divorce was finalized in July of that year, and John went on with his life. It wasn't until he got a call from Nicole Garcia, who was also known as Nikki Bella. She and her twin sister Brie were going to their 10 year high school reunion in Arizona and she needed a date since her sister was going with her boyfriend Daniel Bryan. John accepted the invitation, not wanting to spend the rest of his week cooped in the house. It was several months after being divorced and John wasn't planning on getting back out in the dating game anytime soon, but that changed at the reunion party.

John and Nikki walked outside laughing taking a break from dancing.

"I can't believe you know that dance." Nikki laughed. John looked away laughing.

"Ok, I'll admit, when I first heard it and saw the dance, it was catchy and…I couldn't help myself." He said.

"But it's also hard to believe that you know gangnam style!" Nikki said holding her sides, laughing again. John couldn't help, but laugh himself.

They both contained their selves, staying silent for a while looking out into the night, until John broke it.

"So, you enjoying yourself?" he asked. Nikki turned her head toward him, smiling.

"Yea…I'm glad you came with me John, it means a lot to me." She laid her hand on his. John looked at their hands connecting for a moment, before looking back up at her smiling, squeezing her hand slightly.

"I'm glad too." John pulled her towards him for a hug. Nikki wrapped her arms around his neck, while his massive arms wrapped gently around her. She sighed silently in content, smelling him, while John did the same thing. They released each other, looking at one another for a minute.

"Um, so what's happening with work?" Nikki asked. John sighed heavy. "Um…uh, well Aj's been kissing me…a lot, I mean I've kissed her back, but I was too caught up in the moment."

Nikki's felt her heart break a little. "So are you two starting to go out or something?" John shook his head.

"No, no, that will never work out." He said. He liked Aj, but they don't match together, relationship wise.

"Really? Cause she seems really into you."

"Yea, but like I said, it will never work out, she's a little clingy."

Nikki nodded while her heart leapt for joy. Hearing how he's not into Aj, which means he was still available. She felt John wrap his arm around her.

"By the way, have I told you how beautiful you look tonight?" He said, giving her a twirl. She giggled at this.

"You mentioned it about 2 times into the night." John brought her close to his chest.

"Well, that's not enough for you, now is it?" He muttered. Nikki blushed looking up at him, giving a soft smile.

"Thank you John."

John lifted her hand, kissing the back of it. There was some connection happening here.

"Pleasures all mine."

The pair went back inside, dancing some more and taking pictures. By the end of the night, John and Nikki wanted to hang out more, but he had to go back next morning to leave for a house show.

John was walking Nikki up to her door. She turned around, giving John a sweet smile. "Thanks for tonight, I had a great time."

John gave her a smile back. "You're welcome."

Nikki looked down, trying to hiding her blushing cheeks, but John tilted her chin up making her look at him. He gently pressed his lips to hers, in which she kissed him back. They pulled apart, with a smile on their face.

"Would you mind if I called you sometime?" John asked.

Nikki nodded. "Yea." They exchanged numbers before John walked back to his car.
