After she was done changing, just as Nikki was leaving the gorilla to go meet Brie in the ring, she heard her sister laughing. Curious as ever, she poked her head through the curtain and noticed her sister in the ring with someone. Walking down the ramp she noticed who the man was.. Roman. Of course it was Roman. She laughed to herself. She noticed how Brie was smiling and she just looked so carefree. It was really nice, she hadn't seen that in so long. Hopping up onto the barricade they had finally noticed her.
"Oh hey Nikki. Took you long long" her sister teased. "Yeah sorry about that. I was getting help with this fucking bandage. It fell off earlier and i couldn't get it done back up correctly." she looked down at it and shrugged her shoulders.
"Who helped you with it? It looks pretty good." Brie questioned, crossing her arms. "Oh uh Ambrose did" she looked down when she felt Romans eyes on her.
Brie just smiled, but said nothing about it. "Okay then. Roman was just showing me some different techniques. Come on Nicole, we don't got much time" Nikki just nodded at them. They spent the next 20 minutes in the ring with Roman giving them pointers on certain moves.
"Okay i better go get into my gear and find Dean and Seth. Good job ladies!" Roman said as he hopped out of the ring. While walking up the ramp he heard the twins yell a synchronized "Thank you"
"Dude where the hell have you been?I've been waiting for like.. 20 minutes. And why are you grinning like a idiot?" Dean got off the crate he was sitting on to stand in front of his friend. "Oh yeah uh sorry dude. I guess i got kind of caught up.. with Nikki and Brie" he scratched the back of head and cleared his throat.
"Seth told me you were out in the ring, like running the ropes or some shit. So i went out there and Brie was alone in the ring"
"That little shit. He told me he didn't know where you were" after staring at each other for a few moments. It clicked and they started laughing.
"Heeeyyy guys!" Paige came bouncing in stepping between the men to hop on the crate. She was already in her wrestling gear so they were guessing she had a match on Main Event.
"You know that boyfriend of yours is a dick, right?" Dean asked as he grabbed her bottle of water from her.
"Oh bloody hell. What did he do now?" she asked while glancing between the guys.
"He tricked me into going to see Brie. And he totally lied to Dean" Roman grinned at her as she started to laugh.
"Well you wouldn't have done it on your own terms. I'm just saying" She grabbed her water from Dean and jumped off the crates.
"Okay gotta go get ready. Main Event starts soon. Oh and boys.. Man up" she winked at them and walked away. They just shook their heads at her.
"Okay we better get going to. Still gotta change and everything" Roman nodded at his friend, they said their goodbyes and went their separate ways.
As Roman was walking he felt a small tap on his shoulder. Confused he turned around and saw Brie standing there holding her flannel shirt. "Uh hey Roman, i just wanted to come say thank you for the help earlier. I appreciate it and so does Nicole"She smiled up at him and great. That fuzzy feeling in his chest was back.
"Oh yeah no problem. You both did great. It was fun" he saw her face turn a light shade of pink and fuck. It was adorable.
"Okay i'll let you go get ready for your match. We'll have to train more. I mean if you want too. You can totally bring Dean along. Okay bye" she realized she was rambling giving a small wave. He laughed as she ran off.
Dean was taking his time walking to his locker room. Okay he may have gotten lost but that was definitely not his fault. He somehow ended up back in one of the main hallways. Okay what the fuck. He grumbled under his breathe.
"Oh Ambrose. I was looking for you." He heard a familiar voice say. Turning around he saw Nikki. She was already in full ring gear, holding her bandage. "Uh i have a match against Paige.. and while i was changing this fell off, holding it up to him. Help?" she gave him her sweetest smile. He smiled back, gesturing to the nearest table. She nodded and went to sit down. He bent down and grabbed her leg as gently as possible.
"You know i can teach you how to do this, right?" he raised his eyebrows at her.
"Yeah i know. But this is more fun" she realized what she had said and her face went bright red. They both laughed at that. How could they not? She grabbed her hat and shoved it in front of her face.
"Okay this should hold. At least until the match is over" she looked down at him and bent her leg a few times. "This is great, thank you" she put her hat on and bounced in her step
"Yeah but don't tell anyone i was being nice. It'll ruin my rep." he tried looking smug but it didn't work on her. Causing her to burst into laughter
"Okay Ambrose.. oops or should i just call you the Lunatic Fringe?" he nodded at her and smiled. his dimples on full display.
"I gotta go get ready for my match" he stood up and dusted off his knees. She nodded her head and began to walk away. "Good luck tonight"
He heard someone clear their throat behind him, oh god he know who it was. "Shut up Rollins. I was just helping her with her leg." e turned around to see Seth grinning at him.
"Okay okay i won't say anything. That WAS adorable though" he managed to dodge some wrist tape Dean threw at him. "Dude i'm just saying. You need to let yourself be happy. Just remember that" he patted his former teammate on the back before walking away. Dean just looked down. Trying not to let Seth's words get to him. Seth and Roman were always trying to get him to open up about certain things. He refused to though, constantly. He trusted them, they were his brothers. But nope. He even knew he was too stubborn for that. He knew if he opened up, all those walls he spent years building would come crashing down around him. He wasn't ready for that.
Ugh fuck everyone
He raked his hands through his hair before going to look for his locker room once more.
After they were all changed the guys decided to go to catering together to watch what was going on in the ring. They sat at a table away from everyone. There wasn't many superstars there yet, Dolph Ziggler was sitting at a table with Ryback and Erick Rowan. Talking obnoxiously loud. Erick focused in on everything he was saying while Ryback just nodded every so often, signalling that he was listening to his friend. Of course he had a big plate of food in front of him.
Summer Rae, Emma, Layla and Natalya were sitting at another table just talking and eating. Waiting for Smackdown to start.
The men turned their attention towards the monitors when they heard Paige's theme music start. Seth looked ecstatic to see his girl walking down the ramp. Dean and Roman's attention quickly got captured when they heard The Bella Twins music begin. They looked absolutely stunning in their matching yellow gear. Nikki's leg was still bandaged up tightly Dean was glad. Brie is adorable. That was Romans first thought.
It was a singles match, Nikki vs Paige so Brie went over and took a seat at the commentary table. The bell rung and it was off to a great start. Paige had managed to get Nikki in the corner but it didn't last long. Nikki overpowered her and pushed her down. The match lasted a little over 5 minutes. Nikki got the win with her finisher, the Rack Attack. Paige rolled out of the ring so Brie could get in there and celebrate with her sister.
"Ouch, the rack Attack has got to hurt" Roman commented. Looking over at Seth. "Yeah, Paige said it isn't too bad but her back is usually sore afterwards." Seth replied before getting up. "Come on, lets go meet he" Dean and Roman nodded and disposed of their empty water bottles. They got to the gorilla entrance and Paige was still there, getting her lip looked at.
"Okay, we're all good. It's not busted open too bad. Might get kind of swollen though. So just keep ice on it" the doc said, handing her a ice pack.
"Hey babe, you did great out there" Seth said as he hugged her gently. "You'll get her next time, Casper" Dean smiled as he pulled her into a side hug.
"Oh my god i am so sorry. I didn't mean to hit you as hard as i did" They heard Nikki say as she rushed through the curtain and over to Paige. She put her hands on both sides of Paige's head to try to get a closer look at her lip.
"Oh no don't worry about it Nikki. It doesn't even hurt" Paige smiled as she grabbed Nikki's hands. Taking them off of her face. She looked around, Brie was standing beside Roman and she and Nikki were in the middle of the group.
"Okay i'm going to go get changed.. come with me Seth" she waved at her friends and pulled Seth away by both of his hands.
"You did great out there Nikki" Roman spoke up. Which seemed to surprise everyone. "Oh thanks Roman" Nikki smiled at the Samoan. "We better get going, we aren't staying for Smackdown. Long flights tomorrow" Brie looked at Roman, then Dean and Nikki. "Come on Nicole. Bye guys" She took Nikki's hand and lead her away.
They watched them walk away and blew out a breathe at the same time. "Okay Rome. My match with Barrett is soon. When is yours?" Dean asked while taking out some wrist tape from his pocket. "Uh i think like third last, why?" The big man questioned. "Uh do you wanna come back to Vegas with me for a few days? I don't really wanna be alone." he looked down, almost embarrassed for even asking.
"Sure dude. We have the house shows this weekend so it'll be perfect" he smiled when he saw the gleam in Deans eyes. He fist bumped Roman"Okay great, i gotta go. I'll see you later"
This isn't the first time Dean has asked him to go stay at his place before. He knew Dean would never do anything stupid if his head wasn't in the right place.. but being reckless? Yeah that's Deans thing. He just shook his head. He needed to find Seth. When he finally found him he was waiting outside the Divas locker room for Paige. "Oh hey dude, can i ask you something?" Roman looked around to make sure no one was around.
"Yeah Ro, whats up?" Seth got up. He knew something wasn't right.
