To Be With You

Nikki Bella just won the Divas Championship at Survivor Series. The same night where Team Cena and Team Authority were going head to head. Luckily, Nikki won due to the interference of her twin sister, Brie, kissing AJ and distracting her with the win. After Nikki came backstage from her win, most of the Divas surrounded her and congratulating her, even AJ. Nikki finally became a two-time Divas Champion, and she couldn't be more happier.
''Congrats, Nikki. I know we're not really besties but.. You deserve it.'' A smile crawled onto AJ's lips while Nikki was holding the Divas Championship around her shoulder, along with Brie by her side.
''Thank you, AJ.'' Nikki nodded her head slightly with a small smile on her mouth.
Most of the Divas still surrounding Nikki, most of the questions were about John and how he would react that she won, the man that she loved but sadly broke up with her. She managed to move on and focus on big things like her career and her newly-won Divas Championship. With the PPV mostly over, the Divas scattered along with Nikki and Brie.
''Oh my gosh, I can't believe you won!'' Brie gasped, with a large smile on her lips. Nikki's fingertips were grazing the Divas Championship logo, the butterfly.
''And I can't believe you kissed AJ Lee.'' Nikki spoke with a small smirk on the corners of her lips. ''What did it taste like? CM Punk?''
''Oh shut up!'' Brie pushed Nikki slightly on the shoulder, causing Nikki to go to the side and Nikki felt another person as she bumped into them. Once she lifted her head up, she saw Mr. Money In The Bank, Seth Rollins. The self-proclaimed future of the WWE, the face of the WWE, also.
''Watch where you're-'' Seth spoke before he looked down to see Nikki Bella, new Divas Champion. ''Nikki,'' with a small smirk on his face. ''Congrats on your newly won Divas Championship. I think it's actually good for the WWE to be overrun by bad guys of the company.''
''I'll see you at the locker room, Nikki.'' Brie rolling her eyes in annoyance and walking towards the locker room quickly as she shuffled her feet as if she's been dying to get out of the conversation.
''Uh, thanks, Seth. Good luck out there in the Cena vs. Authority match.'' A small smile coming across Nikki's lips, it was slightly awkward to be talking to Seth because he wasn't really much of a talker, as people say backstage.
''No need for luck, Nikki.'' Seth said as he patted his glove against his Money In The Bank briefcase. ''Tell ya' what, how about I talk you out on a date? Everything on me. Look nice with all your fancy makeup and Louboutins-and yes, I look at your Instagram photos and like 'em, sue me. But come on, let's celebrate your win!'' A cocky smile was on his face. Nikki was puzzled by the offer he made, sure Seth and Nikki were like the Princess and Prince of the WWE but she never expected him to be this straightforward.
''Alright. I don't mind a date. Pick me up at 7?'' Nikki gazed into Seth's brown eyes, and looked down to see his usual two-toned hair dripping down his own t-shirt that WWE sold. ''Just as friends, right?''
''Just as friends, Nik. Promise.'' Seth spoke while throwing a wink towards Nikki. He began to walk away and Nikki released a deep breath, trying to figure out what just happened. Did Seth Rollins really just ask Nikki Bella out on a date? John and Nikki weren't a thing anymore. He broke up with her and it'll show on Total Divas once it premiers. Yeah, it hurt Nikki every time she thought about him but Nikki couldn't be pulled down by John Cena anymore. She had to be her own little bird and fly away free.
Could Seth be possibly helping her out? Helping her fly away? Helping her spread her wings? Nikki took a moment to even think about what she was doing but it didn't hurt to give Seth a chance. He was good looking, very fit, excellent actor and a great person down deep inside. Nikki started walking past down the usual WWE crew in the hallway, congratulating her as she said a soft 'thanks' to every one of them. Not getting far from the spot that Nikki and Seth talked in, Nikki turned her head to find John Cena, talking to Dolph Ziggler. Except his eyes weren't on Dolph, they were on Nikki.
It was awkward as John and Nikki made eye contact with each other. Nikki thought so sure that John was the one and wanted to have kids and get married with him but he wouldn't budge. He wouldn't budge as hard as stone statue. It wasn't helping the awkwardness between John and Nikki as Nikki is about to go out on a date with Seth Rollins.
But Nikki was her own person now and she couldn't rely on John anymore. Finally walking into the Divas Locker room, Nikki walked over towards her twin sister, Brie and started packing her luggage and changing out of her attire.
''So, what was all of that about? Seth apologize?'' Brie asked, already packed and ready to go out of the arena.
''Nothing.. Seth apologized and he asked me out on a date and I said yes.'' Nikki said proudly, not wanting to her her sister's reaction since Brie is pretty protective of Nikki and her decisions.
''On a date?! You're going out on a date with Seth Rollins?'' Brie raising an eyebrow, questioning her own sisters decision. ''Does John even know about this?''
''Oh my gosh, Brie. Would you leave John out of my life for once?! Not all of my decisions have to be based on John anymore. We broke up, get that through your head!'' Nikki shouted, some of the Divas started staring at the two due to Nikki's loud shouting in the locker room.
After an awkward long silence, Brie finally spoke. ''.. Sorry, I didn't mean to bring him up.'' Brie said in a sad tone, looking down at her fingernails and her wedding ring. Brie Bella was married to Daniel Bryan, another top guy in the WWE. Nikki was extremely happy for her sister once they announced they were engaged. They were perfect for each other.
''It's okay but I am going out on a date with Seth. He could be a really nice person, Brianna. Just give him a chance.'' Nikki said, packing her attire in her Louis Vuitton luggage.
''I'll try.. Just don't get hurt again, okay? I respect you going out on a date with Seth.'' Brie declared. ''I just don't want you to get hurt. Not again.''
''I'll be fine, Brie. I promise. We're just going as friends anyway, nothing serious.'' Nikki expressed. She was thinking in her head that it was nothing serious, but is it going to be? Will the date transition into a relationship?
Nikki didn't know what to think about Seth, she had mixed feelings but these feelings were happening quickly. This date could change their friendship or even their careers.
