Chapter Ten: A Fresh Start
"So…" Nicki sighed looking down at the floor. "I need to go get all of my things from my old apartment.
Nicki was walking side-by-side with Randy and John, with Randy`s hand brushing up against hers once in awhile, but as usual she thought nothing of it, she just figured Randy was getting much closer to her now since he was hanging out with her again. Unfortunately Maria wasn't with them, after what happened at the Studio she just wanted to go home and relax. She knew John was going to be getting married to Liz soon and it was killing her, literally. Nicki wished and prayed she could help her but there was no way she was going to get John to see the bad sides of Liz that is if he hasn't already.
Randy`s hand reached up and rubbed the small of her back gently "I defiantly want to go with you, I'm not taking the chance of him being there and you being alone there with him."
John nodded his head in agreement "Agreed, both of us are going with you Nicki."
Nicki smiled softly and kissed John`s cheek lightly "Thanks big bro."
"Oh so I don't get a kiss?" Randy commented with a smirk.
John cut in before Nicki could say anything "No, you beard might scratch her."
Nicki laughed softly at the two men going back and forth and just let it continued on. Randy removed his hand from Nicki`s back and slapped John upside the head. "Shut up before I make you."
John raised a brow at his friend "I`d like to see you try."
Nicki intervened with a small laugh "Guys!" she shook her head "Relax." She looked over at Randy with a smirk playing upon her lips and stepped over closer to him, the closer she got to him the closer their bodies got. She bit her lower lip and placed her hand on his chest standing on her tippy toes and brushed her lips against his cheek, giving him a kiss.
Randy looked down into her eyes when she leaned back down from kissing him and felt so overpowered by her, he knew she was trying to play games with him at the moment because of their conversation at the park the other day, but she had no idea what she was doing to him just being as close as she was.
John cleared his throat with a small smile on his face "Break it up you two."
Nicki backed away from Randy still with a smirk on her face and looked up at John "What? He wanted a kiss?"
John smirked and knew very well she was playing games "Mhmm. Let's go get your things." He pulled her close to him while Randy couldn't even speak a word. He was frozen, he just looked over at Nicki and smirked shaking his head lightly.
About a half an hour later they all met over at Nicki`s old apartment. Before all meeting at her apartment, Nicki had to stop by the store to buy some plastic bins to put all her stuff in. Once they got there Alex wasn't there yet, Nicki knew very well he was at work and she was hoping that by the time he got home she would be done with packing all her stuff.
John piled another box on top of three already full ones and shook his head "Dam Nicki, I never realized how much crap you had."
Nicki laughed at John`s comment as she packed all her things the consumed the kitchen "I'm almost done here in the kitchen, so you`ll have another box to carry."
"Oh good cause here I am thinking it's over." John rolled his eyes sarcastically speaking.
As Nicki was about to respond she heard Randy coming down the stairs carrying two boxes, one on top of the other. He set them down near all the others and walked next to Nicki in the kitchen "I'm glad you had me cleaning out the things in your room."
Nicki rose a brow "If I find out you went through my undies, you're a dead man Orton!"
"What! I couldn't help it." He softly laughed.
Nicki slapped his shoulder playfully "Your such an ass."
John came in from the living room and joined the conversation "You just noticed that now?"
Nicki tried to hide her laughter, but didn't succeed too well. Randy gave John a glare "Listen at least I'm not someone pet."
John`s smiled faded "You may want to re think that." He looked over at Nicki and back to Randy with a smirk up on his lips. Nicki just busted out laughing, seeing John and Randy bicker at each other was like watching a really bad soap opera.
After about 3 hours of packing, running things down to the car/s and John and Randy`s bickering they were completely done with removing every single piece of Nicki`s things from the apartment and were now on their way to Maria`s hotel room, tonight was the girls night for Maria and Nicki and considering that they had to leave town in a couple of days, Nicki need to be with them as much as possible.
Nicki had already had some apartment listing circled to find her a new apartment as soon as possible. She needed one considering she would be homeless by the time RAW left to the next taping. She sighed and tapped a pen on her temple. "This one looks good." She said to herself as she was stopped at a red light.
