Everyone was celebrating the fact that Jeff and Trish were finally back together, even Jericho who was truly happy for them. As he said before he thinks she deserves better than someone who would cheat on her in the first place but he did believe that Jeff loved her and wouldn't do it again. But if he did, Jericho was going to kick his ass that's for sure.
"I'm so happy for you guys" Amy said hugging the new yet old couple,
The pair smiled at their friend as they hugged her back,
"I hope now that me and Jeff are back to normal that so can our group friendship. I mean I know you and Matt are civil now but at the end of the day Matt is Jeff's brother and Amy you're my best friend. Even if we don't hang out all four of us like old times I still want you and Jeff to be how you guys used to be. All three of us be able to chill together without Jeff you making an excuse to leave"
"I agree... Listen Aimes I know after you and Matt broke up and then me and Trish we were bound to distance but I don't want to pick sides between you and Matt, even if the sides aren't as obvious as before we both know you guys aren't exactly going to choose to spend all your free time together so they still kind of exist. But you're my family too and I want things to go back to normal between us" Jeff added,
"I would love that" Amy smiled,
"Well then cheers to that" Trish said raising her glass smiling.
Nikki was grabbing a beer from the fridge when she heard a voice,
"Hey"
Nikki instantly recognised the deep voice and turned around knowing exactly who it was,
"Hey" she returned giving a weak smile,
"How are you?" he asked
"John what are you doing?" she asked confused diving straight to the point,
"I just wanted to see how you were, talk things out and maybe clear the air a bit. I mean I still care about you Nikki, I hate that we can't even talk anymore. I miss having you as a friend"
"And you don't think I do too?"
"Well then please can we just forget about everything and be friends"
"I can't John"
"Why not?"
"Because it's too damn hard John!" she yelled slightly before trying to calm down and lower her voice,
"I don't want things to be like this between us but I can't be your friend after everything that happened. I can't allow myself to go through that pain. That pain of having to be reminded of what you did to me and even the pain of remembering when you used to make me happy. I can't, at least not now anyway"
"So maybe there's a chance later on we could be friends"
"I don't know. Hopefully I mean I know I would like that but right now I can't. But I mean at least we had a decent conversation that didn't end up in a huge argument. That's a step in the right direction"
John laughed slightly,
"Well can I at least get a hug?" John smiled,
"How bout a handshake?" she offered,
"Deal" he smiled as he shook her hand.
Nikki smiled back at him before going back outside to join her friends.
"You and John huh?" Sasha questioned,
"We just talked"
"About?" Randy asked,
"You know what I have better things to do then go over the same old on-off bullshit with you and John, I'm gonna go get a drink" Dean said before walking away,
Nikki's eyebrows furrowed in shock and confusement at Deans unnecessary reaction.
"What was that about? Sasha asked confused,
"I think he's just in a bad mood today" Randy said also confused,
Neither knew about what had happened between Nikki and Dean, only Trish and Roman knew.
"Anyway what happened?" Sasha asked snapping back to the conversation,
"He just wanted to clear the air and be friends"
"What did you say?"
"That I can't, not now anyway. But I mean I'll be civil, I was kind of being civil already but at least now I know we can talk without me wanting to kill him"
"Well that's great, me and Seth kind of sorted things ish too. I mean we had a conversation where he didn't insult me so yeah progress is definitely in the air" Sasha added,
"That's great Sasha. Anyway I'm gonna go find Dean, find out what the hell his problem is" Nikki told her friends before leaving,
She searched the bedrooms but couldn't seem to find him. But she did bump into Trish who was leaving the bathroom.
"Hey have you seen Dean?"
"Yeah I think him and Roman went to the supermarket to buy some stuff and go for a little run, why?"
"I don't know he's just been acting weird. I mean one minute he's insulting me or throwing digs at me, the next he's ignoring me or being awkward, then he's play fighting and being completely back to normal with me, then he's snapping at me again. I just can't keep up"
"I'm pretty sure I've said this before but you really are stupid"
"Yeah I'm pretty sure you have and I'm pretty sure I said last time am I missing something and I'm gonna say the same now"
"Nikki by any chance what triggered him to snap at you this time?"
"He said he can't be bothered to hear about the same old back and forth bullshit with me and John"
"Wait what you and John?" Trish asked confused,
"He just wanted to clear the air nothing special"
"Oh, well why do you think that caused him to snap at you?'
"Because he's bored of hearing the same old bullshit...you know Trish you're not a very good listener"
"Oh my god" Trish slapped her forehead in frustration with her friend's cluelessness,
"Nikki, I can't believe I have to even spell this out to you but Dean likes you. In fact I think he might even love you"
"Whatttt? Noooo. Trish you're crazy"
"No I'm not, it's so obvious. I mean why do you think he was so upset when you said it was just a mistake and that you two sleeping together was just a one night stand mistake"
"Wait he was upset by me saying that?"
"Of course he was, you hurt his feelings. It was obviously more than that to him but it wasn't anything to you. That's bound to hurt him"
"Nah I think you're over thinking it" Nikki scoffed,
"Why do you think he was always the only guy to come after you every time you would get upset about John? Why do you think he always tells YOU that YOU are the most beautiful woman he has ever seen? Why do you think he chased you out this villa before me and Amy even had the chance to make sure you were okay?"
"Because he's my friend. That don't mean he likes me"
"Nikki it's so obvious, even Amy knows and she doesn't even know about you two sleeping together"
"What how?"
"BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUS. To be honest I think you're the bad listener here"
"Oh my god" Nikki exclaimed before carrying on "I mean I guess it kind of makes sense. He made some comments about me not wanting John to find out about us and was kinda pissy about it and I guess he did do the same today"
"So how do you feel?"
"About what?"
"About the aliens on mars, what do you think? Dean of course. Do you like him too?" Trish said rolling her eyes,
"No I just see him as my friend, one of my greatest friends"
"Well maybe you should tell him that"
"What why poke the bear? It's not like he's told me how he feels or is trying to get with me"
"Yeah but it might be what he needs to hear so that he knows you don't want anything. Right now he's probably confused"
"I'll talk to him tomorrow, I really don't want to have to deal with this tonight"
"Good idea, we deserve one kind of drama free night"
"Exactly"
The next day had arrived and Nikki had finally picked up enough courage to go have a conversation with Dean. She wasn't sure how it was going to go or what she would say, she was kind of just going to wing it.
"Hey Dean" she said as she pulled a chair and sat next to him
"Hey" he said back,
"Can we talk?'
"Yeah of course, what do you want to talk about"
"Well I..."
Bing
Nikki let out a slight breath of relief as she was saved by the bell but said relief did not last long.
"Guys we got a message" Dean yelled out to gather everyone's attention,
"What does it say?" asked Roman,
'Could Dean, Nikki and Randy please make their way to the beach to greet the newest arrival to Ex on the Beach'
"Oh no not again" Randy complained throwing his hands in the air in annoyance,
"Anyway Nikki what were you saying?" Dean asked,
"It can wait" she smiled at him,
"Okay" Dean said returning the smile before walking away,
"You know you have to talk to him eventually why not get it over and done with?" Trish asked,
"We have more important things right now to worry about, I'll do it when I get back"
"Okay but make sure you do"
Dean, Nikki and Randy arrived at the beach and took a seat on the three infamous lounge chairs.
"So whose do you think it will be?"
"Dean, he's had it too easy" Randy answered,
"What do you mean, I was on this beach the most recent time an ex washed up from this beach and oh yeah the ex was mine"
"Yeah but Paige coming mainly affected Matt and Amy" Nikki defended,
"Well we both only have one ex in there so could be yours" Dean told Nikki,
"Exactly and I have two so I'm betting it's one of yours" Randy said,
"Yeah but you have more ex's and old flings then me and Dean combined multiplied by three" Nikki argued,
"Well I guess we will see" Dean said pointing towards the sea,
"Oh shit it's mine" Randy said as he saw the blonde emerge from the sea,
But it wasn't himself who he was worried for, oh no. He was worried for the person sitting besides him. Nikki Bella.
Nikki stood out of her chair in shock when she saw who had arrived. A few weeks ago she would have been thrilled but now? Now she couldn't bare to look at her. Her once best friend. Someone she considered a sister. The person she trusted with her life yet who had betrayed her. The person who John cheated on her with. Her EX best friend, Kelly Kelly.
'Hey I'm Kelly Kelly, former Diva's champion and playboy cover girl. Me and Randy were't too serious we only dated for a short while before he moved onto the next girl but there's no hard feelings. Me and Randy are just friends and I have no intention to start up something again. I'm only here to spend some time with my bestie Nikki Bella but if I meet someone in there and there's a connection there, then I'm open to it' Kelly said to the camera having recorded this before arriving at the beach,
"Oh my god Nikki, I've missed you" she smiled as she approached the beach obviously unaware that her friend knew the truth,
"What the hell are you doing here?" Nikki said with a cold voice,
Kelly was taken a back slightly with her hands that were out intended for a hug falling down slightly in confusion to the hostility,
"What?" Kelly questioned baffled,
"Are you deaf? I said what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to see you, to have fun with you guys. Why, aren't you glad I'm here?"
"Why the hell would I be glad?"
"Because I'm your best friend" Kelly said confused as to what was going on,
"No best friend of mine would sleep with my fianće then not even tell me about it"
Kelly's mouth dropped in shock,
"Wait what are you talking..."
"...Oh please don't even try lie, you've already done enough of that"
"Did John tell you?"
"Kinda but it was really down to Maria even though you should have"
"Nikki I'm so sorry, I..."
"Please save it, I don't want to hear it"
"I know I fucked up but it was a drunken mistake, it meant nothing"
"Sleeping with the man I loved means nothing? Are you kidding?" Nikki yelled,
"No I didn't mean it like that, I meant it meant nothing in that it was a mistake"
"The only mistake made was me thinking you were my friend, thinking you were my sister. But trust me I won't make the same mistake twice"
"Nicole please just listen to me..."
"...Don't call me that! You don't have the right"
"Listen I'm sorry" Kelly sobbed with tears falling from her eyes,
"Just stop. I don't need you to cry about it or explain yourself or an apology. I can't forgive you so there's no point trying"
"Please Nikki I..."
"...You know I never thought John would hurt me like he did but you? You the thought never even crossed my mind because I couldn't have ever even imagined the possibility that you could hurt me as much as you did" Nikki said trying to hold back the tears,
Kelly didn't respond just looked down at the sand as her tears fell. She knew there was nothing she could do or say, Nikki would never be her friend again and that's what she deserved
Bing
Randy picked up the tablet of terror and read out the message,
'Kelly welcome to Ex on the Beach, go explore the beautiful country and see amazing views from all knew heights with Dean to see if new romances can blossom' he read,
Nikki's head quickly shot to Dean, this is the last thing she needs right now. Dean looked at Nikki, he wasn't sure what to do or even say. He didn't want to go on this date but Kelly was a nice girl, yeah she made a mistake but she deserved a shoulder to cry on and Dean knew Nikki would get all the support she needed when she gets back to the villa so the pair went off to their mysterious date.
Leaving Nikki there with Randy feeling an emotion she wasn't quite sure what though. She knew she was angry but was that all to it or was it jealousy? She didn't quite know what she felt but she knew she didn't like it.
Randy and Nikki returned to the villa. The expression on their face evident that something bad happened.
"What's wrong?" Seth asked,
"It's Kelly"
"Oh fuck" John let out,
"As in Kelly Kelly" Amy questioned,
"As in your best friend that slept with John?" Trish added,
"What Kelly slept with John?" Sasha exclaimed,
"Yep, yep and yep" Nikki confirmed,
"Wow there's a lot I missed" Sasha said,
"Wait where is she? Where's Dean?" Matt asked,
"The tablet sent them on a date"
"Hahaha" Maria started to laugh,
"What's funny?" Paige questioned,
"This is just too good, this is the drama I've been wanting, it's been boring in here recently" Maria laughed,
"For one day, just one day, would it kill you not to be a complete bitch" Amy said softly,
"It would" Maria smiled,
"Well this isn't funny, that bitch better not be here for John" Maryse let out,
"Nikki how do you feel?" Trish asked concerned for her friend,
"I'm not happy of course, I have to see Kelly and John now together and the thought of them probably won't leave my head. This is a disaster"
"Listen Nikki, I won't talk to her if you don't want me too" John said,
"You guys can do what you want I mean what I don't want you guys to do hasn't stopped you before, doubt it will now"
"Nikki come on" John defended,
"Listen I don't care. You both are out of my life and I'm not gonna let seeing you or her ruin my holiday and my time. It's not exactly ideal but I just don't want to even waste my time thinking about it. So let's drop it" Nikki demanded,
Everyone listened and decided not to talk about it any further. But it couldn't be avoided forever because when her and Dean returns from that beach it will be all anyone wants to talk about. This wasn't going to be good.
