Dean was in his hotel room. There was a knock at his door. He went to answered it. He was shocked to see Nicole standing there.
"Hi." She said.
"Hi."
"Can I come in?"
"Sure." "She went in.
"I've thought about it and I want you back."
"What about Marcus?"
"He doesn't mean anything to me." "I love you Dean."
"I love you too Peaches."
"You'd actually really like to believe that wouldn't you." Marcus said from behind him appearing out of nowhere.
Dean turned around. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"He actually believed you." He said going over to Nicole.
"I know." Nicole said "Pathetic isn't it?" "I never loved you Dean."
"You see Dean." "Nicole has me now." "The only man she's ever loved." "Oh and the night you made love to her for the first time, she was thinking of me." "How does that feel?"
Dean woke up. He was glad that was just a dream. Two months had passed. He would see Mickie here and there and they would sleep together but they agreed not to be an exclusive thing and agreed that they could see other people. That was Dean's idea.
Nicole went to Marcus's after work. She'd hoped they wouldn't fight about the new editor's assignment she'd gotten today. They were sitting on the couch watching TV.
"Marcus I got a new editing assignment today." Nicole said.
"That's great."
"I've have to travel with the company." "I leave tomorrow."
"For how long?"
"Three or four months."
"Why do you have to travel?"
"These people are on the road two-hundred nights a year.
"What's the company?"
"It's World Wrestling Entertainment."
"What's that?"
"Professional wrestling."
"Oh."
"The thing is while I'm working there I could run into Dean." "He works there."
"He does?"
"Yes." "I'll be working with Nikki Bella."
"Not with him though right?"
"Not at all." "I just wanted to let you know I might see him around occasionally."
"That's ok."
"I just wanted to let you know so you wouldn't think I was hiding anything."
"Thank you." "I trust you and I love you."
"I love you too." They kissed.
"When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow."
The next day Nicole boarded a plane to Milwaukee. By the time she got checked into the hotel and everything it was time to go to the arena. When she got to the arena she went straight to the Women's Locker Room. She didn't see Nikki but she saw Natalya.
"Nattie." Nicole said.
"Hey." They hugged. "How are you?"
"I'm great." "You?"
"Can't complain." "I haven't talked to you since you and Dean split up."
"I know." "It's been awhile."
"Oh my god." "Nicole." "Is that a ring on your finger?"
"Yeah, I'm engaged to my boyfriend Marcus." "Congratulations but don't you think it's kind of fast?"
"What do you mean?"
"How many months has it been since you broke up with Dean?"
"Seven."
"It just seems a little quick but I'm glad you're happy."
"Thank you."
After working with Nikki for a little while they each decided to take a break. Nicole went to catering to get a water. When she turned around Dean was standing behind her.
"Hi." She said.
"Hi." "Here on business?"
"Yeah."
Something in the light caught Dean's eye. He picked up her ring hand and looked a mixture of angry and like he was about to cry. "You're getting married?" He said irritated. "Once again showing me how little I and our relationship meant to you." "I don't even know why I'm surprised."
"Dean we've been broken up for seven months."
"How many of those months did you spend sad that I was gone?" "I'll tell you how many." "Zero."
"That's not true."
"Oh it's not?" "Well when I came to your house just a month later you two looked awfully cozy which tells me you didn't wait very long until you slept with him." "I think you wanted him the second you two started working together."
"No Dean."
"What the hell happened to you?"
"What do you mean?"
"Where is the Nicole that I knew?" "The shy woman who didn't even want to date me at first and took things slow, especially our sex life which I didn't mind because I loved you." "The woman who would blush just at the mention of sex." "The woman I loved." "Where is she?"
"She's right here."
"The woman I knew would never jump into bed with someone so fast." "The woman I knew wouldn't be engaged after only a few months."
"I'm still the same person." "The only difference is I don't love you anymore."
"You never did."
"I did so." "You know I did otherwise I never would've let you take my virginity."
"Does Marcus like all the things I taught you?" She went to smack him. He caught her hand.
"Maybe you're forgetting you slept with your ex-girlfriend, that's why I left."
"Yeah and started riding Marcus for comfort right?" He let go of her hand. "You said you wouldn't take me back because I cheated on you." "Well Marcus cheated on you and you took him back." "So tell me again." "Which one of us did you really want?" He walked away.
After the show Dean was stressed. He needed a release. He went back to the hotel and knocked on Mickie's door.
"Hi De-mmm." She moaned as he kissed her. They went inside he shut the door with his foot. They took off each other's pants. He lifted her up off the ground and slipped inside. "Ohhhh, oh god." She moaned. They went into the bedroom.
Afterwards they were laying there.
"Not that I'm complaining but what brought that on?" Mickie asked.
"I was just stressed."
"I'm glad I could help."
"You did." They kissed.
