1Kara and Nikki were the first to claim seats on the couch and several others stood around deciding where to sit.

"We don't have the plague." Kara said loudly when she noticed no one had taken the seat to her right and no one had taken the seat to Nikki's left.

"Thanks for the observation." Matt Hardy said with a smirk. "But just incase..." He shoved Jeff down on the couch next to Kara. "I'll let my baby brother get it." Jeff just shrugged his shoulders and leaned back, seemingly indifferent. Kara felt her heart drop. She turned her attention to Nikki who was looking nervously at Evan Bourne.

"Evan." Kara said calmly. "The seat next to Nikki is open." Nikki's eyes widened as she stared at Kara disbelievingly.

"Do you mind Nikki?" Evan asked sweetly.

"N-n-no, not at all." She said nervously. Her heart-beat quickened as she felt the seat next to her sink lower.

"Alright foxy ladies... and gentleman." John Morrison said standing in front of them. He was wearing a pair of sweat-pants and no shirt, his abs looked brilliant. "I wracked my brain thinking of a movie we could all enjoy together. With something for everyone. No, Nikki, we won't be watching porn."

"Damn." Was all Nikki could reply as everyone laughed and her cheeks flushed.

"That comes later for those wanting to stay. Mainly, the ladies." Morrison said with a smirk. He talked tough, but he was an honest to God sweet guy at heart. "Anyway. I figured we would want a manly movie." Matt, Cena, and Orton all cheered. "Something with hot women, but that had something for the girls to look at too."

"There ya go John." Beth said raising her beer.

"So, what movie could I have picked." He remained silent for a moment as all the attention in the room was focused on him. "I decided on a movie with a man that I admire very much. So without dely I present: "Casino Royale!"

"I should have known." Kara said shaking her head as Morrison put the DVD into the player.

"What, not a Bond fan?" Jeff asked, turning towards her.

"I love James Bond, it's just John thinks he IS James Bond."

"You know it baby." John said as he sat down in front of the couch. Nikki began absentmindedly playing with his hair. The movie started and everyone settled down into their seats. Halfway through Nikki felt someone staring at her and she turned to meet Evan's eyes. He just smiled pleasantly and turned his attention back to the TV. Nikki leaned back in her seat and whispered to Kara, making sure neither of the men beside them could hear her.

"I think Evan was staring at me."

"You just noticed that." Kara asked tearing her eyes away from the shirtless Daniel Craig.

"Has he been?"

"I noticed it once or twice."

"How's Jeff?" Nikki asked, keeping her voice low. Kara sighed slightly.

"He seems throughly uninterested on anything going on in this room. I don't think he wants to be here." Kara just shook her head and went back to watching the movie. Nikki kept her eyes on the screen, but her mind was focused on the man next to her.

As the credits began to roll a few people clapped and some yawned. Kara stretched her arms over head and she accidently bumped Jeff's shoulder.

"I'm sorry." She said quickly. For a moment his eyes seemed alive and he smiled at her. His entire face lit up.

"It's alright." He replied, the smile still playing on his features.

"Damn... that James Bond. Now there's a real man." Beth said with a smile.

"What are we then?" Orton asked.

"Boys." Lisa Varon, better known as Victoria said simply. Kara laughed and looked back towards Jeff who's face had gone back to the way it had been 10 minutes earlier.

"Oh thanks." John Cena said standing up. His jersey seemed uncomfortable, and he promptly took it off.

"Oh God, Johnny boy put it back on!" Nikki said through fits of laugher.

"You know you want this Nikki. I don't want to hear it." He said throwing her the jersey.

"Now you have a keepsake." Evan remarked, motioning to the jersey in her hands.

"Nah, I don't want a keepsake from Cena." She said as casually as she could.

"Who do you want a keepsake from?" Evan's eyes were shining brightly and a smile was playing on his face.

"O-oh.. Um, I don't really... um.."

"I'm starting to think I make you nervous." He said, trying to contain his laughter. Nikki didn't know what to say, she felt her cheeks turning red. Around her friends she was always outspoken and not usually shy, but for some reason around him. She just didn't know what to say. "Did you like the movie?" He asked trying to ease some of the tension.

"Yeah, I loved it." She replied smiling.

"What are you too kids talking about?" Morrison asked loudly, suddenly most eyes in the room were on them.

"The movie John." Nikki said shaking her head.

"Sure you were." Kara piped in. She had heard most of the conversation.

"I should get going." Jeff said quietly to no one in particular.

"Why? Are you tired?" Kara asked.

"Not really." His voice was low still. He sat straight up and stretched his hands out in front of him. He was wearing a white wife-beater so his entire tattoo up his right arm could be seen and his now pink hair was pulled into a bun.

"Oh come on man, don't leave just yet." Matt said sitting on the armrest of the couch next to his brother.

"Listen bro, I came here, I socialized. Why do you want to keep me here? There's nothing to keep me here." Kara winced slightly. She stood up and walked toward Morrison.

"Hey pimp, I'm gonna go on the balcony for a bit." She said quickly.

"Gonna pee off the side?" He asked casually.

"You're sick Morrison!" Nikki's voice rung out.

"I agree with Nikki." Kara slipped out of the room.

"Are we gonna watch another movie?" Nikki asked aloud.

"I have porn." Morrison said with a beaming smile.

"How about another Bond film." Evan suggested. "It's too early to go to bed." Everyone seemed to agree and Morrison searched through his DVD collection before pulling out "From Russia With Love." Matt forced Jeff back on to the couch and took Kara's seat.

"Ok kiddies, he we go again." John said before starting the movie. Everyone settled in. Well, everyone but Jeff and Matt who were sitting stiffly. Matt was still trying to make Jeff stay. About 10 minutes into the film Nikki finally starting calming down and she leaned back against the couch he hand falling to her side. Evan's hand brushed against hers. Nikki looked up at him, but his eyes stared straight at the TV. Nikki shrugged it off as an accident, but moments later, his pinky hooked itself around hers. She felt her heart beat quicken and she took a deep breath, slowly exhaling. Evan just smiled. She toyed with the idea of pushing her hand further so they would be holding hands, but her courage was failing her. She looked around. No one had noticed the change. She could have sworn her heart was going to beat out of her chest and she was positive he could hear it. Her attention was focused on Evan until she saw someone else walking out to the balcony. She turned quickly, but Jeff was still in his seat. His eyes, however, had followed Randy Orton outside.

"Hey beautiful." Randy said as he closed the balcony door behind him.

"Hey Randy." Kara said not turning around. He wrapped his arms protectively around her.

"We're watching from "Russia with Love" so why are you out here?"

"Just clearing my head. It was getting too crowded in there anyway." She said as she leaned back into his chest, grateful for the warmth. The stars above them were shining brightly. It was beautiful. She felt her breathing slow in the presence of Randy. He always calmed her down. Still she was wishing someone else's arms could be wrapped against her. She mentally cursed herself. She had to stop thinking about Jeff, and the way he was acting.

"Jeff can be a dick sometimes, but he's pretty bad tonight huh?" Kara loved and yet hated the way Randy sometimes knew what she was thinking.

"Leave the guy alone Randy, he's having a hard time." She said protectively.

"They broke it off a year ago."

"He's had a string of bad relationships."

"That's not why he's like this." Randy said simply.

"Oh really Dr. Orton?" Kara asked turning in his arms so she was facing him. "And since you're the great doctor why don't you give me some insight?"

"It's hard to be head-over-heels for someone and not sure if you can do anything about it." Randy said shrugging his shoulder. Kara felt her face fall. She knew he was having trouble letting go of his ex, but she didn't think he still loved her. "I'm not talking about his ex fiancé either."

"Oh really?" Kara asked. "Who might you be talking about then?"

"You." Randy's announcement made Kara laugh loudly. "It was plain in the way he looked at you tonight."

"Yeah, sure Orton. Why don't we get back in there. I do love that movie." Kara walked towards the door and Randy followed her slowly.

"Fine don't believe me." He said as he followed her into the warm room. "I'll prove you wrong."

"What wont she believe you about?" Cena asked. "I mean, I don't blame her or anything, but I'm just curious."

"Nothing that needs addressing now." Randy said taking up his previous seat. Matt went to stand up, but Kara stopped him and sat on the floor next to Morrison. She turned and looked at Jeff who's eyes were piercing into hers, but he looked away quickly. She finally turned to look at Nikki. The fact that Nikki's hand was touching Evan's hadn't escaped her attention. Nikki caught her stare and she smiled at her.

"Enjoying the film?" Kara asked quietly.

"Very much." Nikki said with a shy smile. Even in the dim light Kara could tell Nikki was blushing. Kara encouraged her silently with her eyes and Nikki took a deep breath before moving her hand closer Evan. He responded quickly and took a hold of her hand. Nikki had to stop herself from squealing and Kara laughed silently to herself.
