A few days passed. Nicole had made a decision. She thought it would be better for everybody. Dwayne was meeting up with everyone today. She was going to tell him then. It was going to make everything a lot easier. She was waiting for Dwayne to come she was at hotel. She was watching TV. There was a knock at the door. She answered it.
"Baby!" She said excitedly hugging Dwayne.
"I'm glad to see you to." They kissed. He went inside they sat on the couch.
"How was your flight?"
"Good."
"Good." "I've decided something."
"What?"
"After the show tonight I'm gonna go home."
"You wanna go home?"
"Yeah."
"Why?" "I thought we were having fun?"
"We are, it's been a blast."
"Then what's wrong?"
"I'm homesick." "I miss my house and my job."
"Is this really what you want?"
"Yes."
"Alright."
"I'll come back for Wrestlemania week ok?"
"Ok."
"Are you mad?"
"No." "Some people can't handle life on the road." "I understand."
"I was thinking since I'm gonna be home I can go ahead and hire a wedding planner."
"If you want to, do it."
"Alright." "That way I can start getting things squared away on my end." "I can start sketching my wedding dress."
"I will miss you though."
"I'll miss you to." "Uh-oh." "I know that look."
"Come here." She stood up.
"Come get me."
"You gonna make me chase you again?" He asked standing up.
"I'm just making you work for it."
"Really?"
"Yeah." He grabbed her by her waist.
"Got it." "I win."
"Cheater."
"You're right I'm a cheater." "A big cheater." "I think we need to go into the bedroom so you can punish me."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah." They kissed.
"Well what are we waiting for?" They went into the bedroom and laid down on the bed. Dwayne looked down at her and smiled. "What?"
"Nothing I just can't believe how lucky I am."
"I love you."
"I love you to."
Later that night they were at the arena. Nicole was in catering. She looked next to her.
"What's up Randy?" She asked.
"Not much." "How are you doing?"
"Good."
"Having fun."
"Yeah."
"Hey guys." They heard from behind them. They turned around.
"Hey John." Randy said.
"Hey." "Hi Nic."
"Hi." Nicole said. "John why are you dressed like that?" He had on a backwards cap, a chain around his neck and a jersey on.
"It's throwback night for me."
"Throwback?"
"When I first came out I used to rap before my matches."
"I didn't know you still rapped."
"He came out with a CD a couple years ago." Randy said.
"You did?"
"Yeah." John said. "I rap my theme song."
"I didn't know that." "Hey I need to talk to you." "Can I come by your locker room later?"
"Yeah, I gotta get out there."
"Ok." "See you later."
"Bye."
A couple hours later Dwayne was out doing his portion of the show. Nicole really didn't wanna listen to Dwayne insult John. So she decided to go talk to John. Nicole knocked on John's locker room door. It was cracked open. She went in.
"Hello?" "John?" She decided to wait for him. She stood there for a few minutes.
"Nicole." She heard John say from behind her. She jumped.
"You scared me, I didn't think you were in here." She said turning around. When she turned around she noticed John was in a towel. "Oh god, I'm sorry."
"It's ok."
"I'll come back in when you're dressed." She went outside. She waited for a few minutes.
"Ok you can come back in now."
"Alright." She went back in. She sat next to John on the couch. "Sorry."
"It's alright, it's not like it's nothing you haven't seen before." He said smiling. She smiled and smacked him in the arm. "Ow!"
"Stop."
"Nic that hurt."
"I'm leaving John."
"What?"
"I'm going home tonight after the show."
"Why?"
"I'm homesick." "I wanna go home."
"Don't go."
"I'm coming back for Wrestlemania week."
"Who am I gonna hang out with?"
"You'll survive without me." "I have my wedding to plan."
"Yeah that."
"We set a date."
"Really?"
"Yeah." "August seventeenth."
"Congratulations."
"Thanks."
"I'm really gonna miss you."
"I'm gonna miss to." "I should go." They both stood up. They hugged. "You know you're still my best friend John."
"You're still my best friend to Nicole."
"Bye."
"Bye."
After the show John went to the lobby bar. Randy went in for a beer. He sat down next to John and noticed the nine empty beer bottles.
"What's up John?" Randy asked.
"Nothing."
"You and Liz fighting or something?"
"A little but that's not why I'm here."
"Why are you here?"
"Nicole left."
"She left?"
"She went home." "Now she's gonna marry Dwayne on August seventeenth, yippie I'm ecstatic."
"Why did she leave?"
"She said she's homesick but I don't think that's why."
"Why then?"
"I can't tell you, I've never told anyone."
"I already know what it is."
"No you don't."
"You slept with Nicole." "Don't you tell me you didn't I know you did."
"How did you know?"
"The sexual tension between you two is so strong a blind man could see it." "Plus the way you look at each other." "You don't even look at Liz that way." "So what happened?"
"I was twenty-one." "I was leaving for California the next morning." "I was hanging out with Nicole at her apartment and it just happened." "It was amazing." "Afterwards I thought I was in love with her but I convinced myself I wasn't." "I was her first."
"She was a virgin?"
"Yeah." "I know I'm married now but I can't stop thinking about her."
"You're in love with her aren't you?"
"I honestly don't know." "I'm going up to my room."
"See ya."
