There he lay, in the middle of the ring, flat on his back. He was slowly coming back from unconsciousness, trying to make sense of everything around him. Blinking his eyes rapidly to see straight, he sees a muscular stranger standing over him looking down on him, while the resident crazy chick known as Aj Lee skipped around them. Suddenly, everything was coming back to him. At last night's TLC, where she pushed the ladder preventing him from winning the Money in the Bank from Dolph Ziggler. First it was the ladder match, now this, why? That's what he was asking himself as he watched Aj and her hulking friend walk away from the ring and up the ramp.

After recollecting himself for a minute, John Cena rolled out of the ring and made his way backstage; clutching the back of his head feeling the effect of being ran over by that bulldozer of a human. He walked straight to his dressing room, closing the door firmly behind him, not wanting to be disturbed. After showering and changing, John sat there trying to make sense of things. I don't understand, he thought. He couldn't understand why though. Why did she do this? Why did she basically screw him out his match at TLC? That seemed to be the key question here. Why?

Being so emerged in his thoughts, John didn't hear the door open to his locker room. There stood Nicole Garcia, better known as Nikki Bella, who was a part of the tag team The Bella Twins alongside her twin sister Brie Bella. The twins parted ways with the company in April.

Nikki closed the door behind her, walking over towards John, who was still in his thoughts. She stood in front of him, putting her purse down, she placed a hand on his shoulder, causing him to look up and notice her for the first time. She looked down at him with a sympathetic look.

"You ok?" she said.

John sighed. "I'm alright…just somewhat confused."

Nikki sat down next to him, rubbing his shoulder with one hand, while the other was on his bicep.

"I'm pretty sure everyone was confused, Aj has a tendency to leave people questioning her actions. I mean she said it herself that she's full of surprises."

John snickered. "Got that right. I mean first it was last night then she's out there making out with Dolph and next thing I know she sends this guy out to run me over… is there a reason for all this?"

Nikki shook her head. "I have no idea." John shook his head, sighing.

"I don't either, but whatever, how are you?" he said, putting his arm around Nikki. She smiled up at him, scooting closer to him.

"I'm good, just wanted to see you is all." John smiled. Ever since Nikki invited John to be her date for her and Brie's 10th high school reunion. The two had fun that night taking pictures, dancing, and even sharing a few small kisses here and there. Since that night the two have become close.

"So what do you wanna do after this?" John asked. Nikki's smile turned into a smirk as she got up and placed herself behind John. She placed both hands on his shoulders, massaging them.

"Well, I thought we could just go back to the hotel and have dinner." She said sliding her hands up towards his head, running her fingers back and forth through his hair.

"Then afterward we can either watch a movie or…." John glanced back at her.

"Or what?" Nikki's hands slid down his neck to his muscled chest that was still slick with sweat. "Or I can give you a nice massage or…we can just right to dessert." She seductively whispered in his ear. Nikki could feel John shudder from her lightly blowing on his ear. John smiled, grabbing her hand, making her come over to stand in front of him. He placed his hands on her hips, bringing her closer, while Nikki ran her fingers through his hair again.

"That sounds like a very enjoyable night Miss Bella." Nikki smiled, leaning down to kiss him. John leaned up a bit to meet half way. He pulled her closer, making her sit on his lap, with knees on either side of him. Nikki's arms wrapped around his neck, while his massive arms wrapped around her, making her shirt clad dress rub against his. The kiss deepened when both their tongues collided with each other. John's hands slid down from Nikki's back to her backside, causing a soft moan to be heard from her throat. At this moment, John didn't care about anything; all he was focused on was the beautiful brunette sitting on his lap.

They pulled their lips apart and looked at one another with huge smiles. "Why don't we get of here, huh?"

Nikki giggled before giving him a peck on the lips. "Yes, let's, because I'm starving right now." She said getting up from his lap, grabbing her purse. John got up with his bag in tow.

"I know darling, but wait till we get to the hotel, you can have me then." Nikki smacked his arm playfully.

"John that is not what I meant." John chuckled. "What? Just telling the truth, sometimes you can't keep your hands off of me." Nikki shook her head.

"Correction, it is you, who can't keep your hands to yourself." John wrapped an arm around her, as they walked towards the door, exiting the locker room.

"Hey, can't help that you're so damn irresistible." He said softly as his hand groped her rear end causing Nikki to gasp. "John, stop."

"What?" he chuckled.

"Wait till we get to the hotel."

"Or just do it in the backseat of the car." Nikki just shook her head and laughed. This guy is insane.

"John, shut up."

They continued walking down the hallway, on their way out to the parking lot before bumping into CM Punk, who was talking with Kofi Kingston, Miz and Alberto Del Rio. The four guys stopped their conversation looking towards the couple. John stopped in his tracks, looking at the guys, who were all donning a smirk on each face.

"Hey guys, what's up?"

"Not much John Boy, hey, uh, are you Nikki or Brie?" asked the straight edge superstar.

Nikki giggled. "I'm Nikki, Brie is with Daniel Bryan."

"Oh"

"Hey, I'm going to the car, I'll wait for you, ok?" she said. John handed her his keys. "Alright, I'll be a minute." They shared a small kiss, before Nikki walked out into the parking lot. John turned back to face his four co-workers and friends as they looked at him, amused.

"Fellas, I can explain."

"Oh really? Well please, explain away." said Mike, who crossed his arms, waiting. John fidgeted a little.

"Well, what happened was that, um…."

"Maybe, I can help you with that." said Alberto. "See, what had happened was that John here, hooked up with one of the Bella twins. It seems to me that you all got real close at that reunion, yes?" he said smirking. The other guys laughed.

John shook his head. "No, we did not hook up, w-we started to get close with each other, and well, we wanna see where it goes from here." He stuffed his hand into his jean pockets.

"So this isn't a rebound then?" asked Punk.

"No man, it's not, I'm really feeling something for her, I mean I don't know what she exactly feels for me, but all I know is that I wanna keep this going."

"Look man, I'm happy for you, just makes sure you don't rush into things." said Kofi.

John nodded. "Yea, you're right, we're just taking time to get to know one another for real, you know?"

They all nodded.

"Well" he said readjusting his bag. "If you will excuse me, there's a lovely lady waiting for me and I don't wanna keep her waiting any longer." And with that John gave a nod to his friends and went on his way.

"I gotta say John does seem happier than he did before. I mean before he just looked depressed." said Punk.

"Yea, I mean that divorce took a toll on him, but it's good to see he's relaxed." Mike said.

"Was he seeing Nikki, while he was separated from his wife?" Alberto asked. Kofi shook his head.

"No, that's what people were trying to make it seem; besides, it's good that he didn't, because his wife could've taken advantage of that to make seem like John was cheating during the marriage."

"True. Also with the whole thing with Aj, I think John made a mistake there, getting involved with her." said Punk. Mike stretched his arms out. "Well, doesn't matter anymore, come on, let's get out of here." All the guys grabbed their stuff and walked out. When the coast was clear, out walked was small figure, whose dark brown eyes showed an expression of anger, but filled with tears that were ready fall.

At the hotel

After dinner, the couple retired in John's room for tonight, where, like Nikki promised, she gave him a full back massage. There John lay faced down, his arms folded under his head, relaxed. He felt the tension in his muscles disappear as Nikki soft, oiled hands rubbed along his back.

"How do you feel?" she asked softly. John groaned softly, as her hands continued to work magic on his back. Nikki giggled, knowing she was making John feel better which the whole point for this massage was. Nikki wanted John to forget tonight's events, last night events and mostly Aj Lee.

"Oh god, that feels so much better." He glanced back at her. "Got some magic fingers, right there girl."

Nikki giggled. "I'm glad you like."

"No, I love it, girl, I can't remember the last time I felt stress free." John said, closing his eyes. Nikki smiled softly, before leaning over to place a soft kiss on John's cheek, making him smile.

"I just don't want you to feel stressed out all the time…I'm glad I make you feel good." She said drawing lazy circles over his oil slick back. Unexpectedly, John turned over on his back, with Nikki still on top of him. He placed his hands on her hips, sliding to her thighs, then back to the hips.

"No, you don't just make me feel good; you make feel better…better than I've ever felt before." He said giving her a soft smile, in which she returned.

"Seriously…I think this is the first time, in a while, that I've actually felt happy, genuinely happy. Before you came into my life I felt so down and depressed, but then it's like you come out of nowhere and shined a light." Nikki felt tears coming to her eyes, hearing John say such sweet things. She rubbed her hands over his chest.

"John, I-I didn't think you would feel that way about me." John sighs.

"Nikki, I've been feeling this way for you since that night at the reunion…and this thing I'm feeling is serious." Nikki felt speechless; John felt the same way about her, which she's been feeling about him.

"I feel the same thing too." She said softly. John couldn't help, but feel overwhelmed. He grabbed her hand, placing it over his heart.

"You feel that? That's how you're making me feel right now as we speak." Nikki could feel his heart, rapidly beating against his chest, under her hand. Next thing she knows, John sits up with his arms wrapped around her pulling her body up against his. She couldn't help, but moan softly at how warm and fulfilling his arms felt when they are wrapped around her, making her feel safe. John lifts Nikki up, to turn her over, placing her on her back softly against the pillows. He then places himself between her legs, while her hands trail over his biceps to his chest. John looks over her from head to toe. The beauty that this woman radiates makes his heart swell even more. The way she stares into his blue eyes with her beautiful brown ones, gazing lovingly up at him. John's finger traced Nikki's face, from her eyes down to her nose towards her full lips, causing her to press a small kiss to his finger.

"You are so beautiful." John whispered. Nikki gave him a soft smile. John lowered himself down, pushing his lips onto hers. He deepened the kiss by tilting his head to the side, colliding his tongue with hers. John left her lips, trailing wet, seductive kisses down Nikki's neck, causing her to close her eyes, while tilting her head back to give John room. He trailed the kisses down towards her chest, where he started to unbutton the white nightgown she wore. Nikki's chest was heaving with anticipation, waiting for John's lips press down on her bare breasts. She let out a soft moan, when she felt his mouth placing kisses on each mound. He continued down until he reached her white lace panties. Hooking a finger around the elastic band, pulling them down her legs. John looked over her body once more, before sliding off his own night pants along with his boxers. Nikki's body was shaking with nervousness and John could feel it.

"We don't have to do this now, if you don't want to, I can wait another time." He said softly. Nikki raised her hand to rub the side of his cheek. She loved the fact that John was thinking about her feelings first.

"No, it's ok, I want to do this." John took her hand from his cheek and kissed it, before taking both hands and placing them around his neck. He then lifted her legs to wrap around his waist. Nikki gasped lightly feeling John's manhood against her sacred area.

"Do you trust me?" John whispered. Nikki nodded her head.

"I trust you."

John gave her a kiss on the lips, before burying his face into her neck, where he kissed and suckled on. Nikki let out a panting gasp as she felt John enter her slowly. He stopped for a moment letting her adjust to him, before gently thrusting in and out of her. Nikki's hands slid from around John's neck, one on the back of his head and the other gripping his shoulder, her legs tightening around his waist as she holds onto him. Closing her eyes, she turns her head, with her parted lips in his ear. Her panting starts to change into gasping moans, when John's thrusting begins to pick up a faster and harder pace.

"Oh, John..."
