Disclaimer: I own no one mentioned in this story.
Ah yay another chapter out this week! Okay so with this chapter, i wrote a little one shot thing called "Bound To You" Make sure you go and read that! It'll help make things a little clearer and answer some questions. Enjoy!
"Okay we don't have to get to sleep for awhile" Roman checked his phone, putting it on the charger. Brie exited the bathroom in her pajamas. Nikki and Dean were out sitting on the balcony, enjoying the clear, warm night. Roman smiled at Brie and pulled her closer, placing a little kiss on her nose.
They stood in silence for a few minutes, just enjoying each others company.
"So do you have enough clothes and everything for the next few days?" he asked, rubbing his thumb across her arm.
"I think so. But i would rather sleep in your clothes.." she trailed off with a grin on her face. Roman chuckled and nodded his head, "I think i can allow you to do that" leaning down, he captured her lips in a gentle little kiss. Feeling her smile into it.
"Dean the sky is clear. It's not going to storm" Nikki sighed, trying to reassure him. She was sitting on his lap, his arms wrapped securely around her. "It's Florida, the weather is stupid" he grunted.
"Well if it storms within the next few days, you have all of us to protect you" Nikki giggled and grabbed his hand.
"I can't believe we're going to be meeting your family in a few days" she played with his fingers. "I know. It's crazy, but it's going to be fun. You'll love them" he moved some hair off her shoulder. Nikki nodded, "We should get in there"
They stood up and opened the balcony door. Roman and Brie were laying in bed, watching whatever they could find on TV. "I'm gonna go get my pajamas on" Nikki let go of Deans hand and walked over to her bag, then went into the bathroom.
"So what's on? Dean asked, jumping into Romans bed just to annoy him. Brie laughed and moved her legs
"Ambrose get your ass off my legs. I will strangle you" Roman glared at the blond man
"Love you too Romeo"
"Shithead"
Nikki came out of he washroom and laughed. Dean was spread out across Roman and Brie. "Stop annoying Roman. Come here" she jumped on the bed and got under the covers. Dean smirked and got up to go over to her. He pulled the blankets back and rolled over to her. Nikki chuckled and rested her head on his chest.
Roman sprawled out and rested his head on Bries stomach, rubbing light circles with his thumb. Her fingers raking through his hair. They watched TV for a little while before eventually falling asleep.

Brie woke up first. It was mainly because Roman almost rolled on top of her and couldn't feel her arm. Gently, she pushed him off and stretched her limbs. Looking at the clock, it was only 9:30, she groaned and got out of bed, trying her best not to wake Roman up since she knew how much of a light sleeper he was.
She glanced over, seeing Dean and Nikki cuddled right up to each other. She smiled and grabbed her phone before stepping out onto the balcony. Watching the people rushing around. Brie let out a content little sigh. Her phone buzzed, startling her out of her thoughts. It was Paige
-Paige-
Hey punkin, you and Nikki wanna come for a walk with me? Seth wants to talk to the guys
Brie furrowed her brows, she couldn't help but wonder what he wanted to say to them.
-Brie-
Sure thing, i'll wake them up :)
-Paige-
Oh sweet. See you in a bit.
She went back inside, jumping onto Roman. Placing little kisses on his face. He started to stir and finally woke up. "Paige and Seth wanna see us. So wake up baby" she smiled
Roman nodded and pecked her lips. They got out of bed and hopped on Dean and Nikki. "Wake up" Roman poked Deans face a few times. "Get off me fucker" he opened his eyes and narrowed them. Nikki woke up nicer, "Whhhyyyy" she whined
"Paige wants us and Seth wants to talk to the guys" Brie bent down to hug Nikki
Dean and Roman looked at each other and shrugged. Whatever he wanted to say to them, must be important.
"Go shower" Brie nudged Nikki. She nodded and got out of bed. "Come on" holding her hand out for Dean. He took it and followed her into the bathroom.
Roman snorted, "That better mean you're showering with me"
Brie grinned up at him, "Ohhhh i dunno" she teased. Roman rolled his eyes playfully and picked her up.
"Dean the water isn't hot enough" Nikki shook her head and moved him so she could make the water hotter. She felt hands wrap around her waist and smiled. "We need to hurry" she turned around in his grip and cupped his face
Dean pouted, giving her the best puppy dog face he could muster.. even though it didn't work. Just made her laugh, "You are so cute" she kissed him and grabbed the shampoo.
They finished up and got out of the bathroom. Brie and Roman were sitting on the bed talking. "Okay get in there" Dean clapped his hands.
Roman got off the bed and grabbed Brie. When they stripped out of their pajamas, Roman started the water. Brie pulled the shower curtain back and stepped in. She could feel Roman get in behind her. Smiling, she poured some shampoo in her hand.
"Turn around"
He did as he was told, Brie got on her tip toes and started massaging it into his hair. "Your hair is literally nicer than mine"

25 minutes later, everyone was dressed and waiting for Seth and Paige. They heard a knock on the door and Dean got up to answer it.
"Hey dude" Seth walked in. Paige grabbed at Dean to hug him. He kissed her head.
"Okay let's go for a walk" she smiled when she let him go. Nikki and Brie nodded and got up. "We'll be back in a bit. Love you" Paige called out before closing the door.
Dean and Roman turned to Seth, who was already sitting on one of the chairs staring at them.
"Uh.. so what's up" Roman asked, awkwardly scratching his beard.
"Not much.. i just wanted to talk, don't worry Ro" Seth chuckled. "I was wondering though.. have you guys even asked them.. like made it'official' yet?"
Dean and Roman froze, looking at each other briefly. Honestly neither of them even thinking about that yet. "Uh no, i guess not. But it feels like it, you know?" Dean mumbled, biting at his thumb
Seth nodded, "That's what i thought"
"Do you think we should? I mean Brie knows how i feel about her.. she knows"
"And like.. i care about Nikki more than i can even explain" Dean interrupted
Seth smiled softly, "I'm really happy for you both.. do you uh.. love them? he asked cautiously. Looking down at his hands, he could feel their stares.
"I..uh isn't it too soon for that?" Roman choked out, running his hands across his face. Seth shook his head, "Not at all Rome. They way you look at each other.. is really special. Same goes for you Ambrose"
Dean looked down and nodded, "What should we do?"
"Be straightforward with them. They're technically your girlfriends already. But i think they'd appreciate it if you guys did something special."
Roman suddenly chuckled, "Remember when you and Paige got together"
Seth laughed and nodded his head, "On the front step of my condo."
"I still remember the day we met her. It feels like yesterday" Dean smiled. "I knew from the minute i saw you two together, that'd be it. You'd get together and stay together" Roman smirked. "Hell if it weren't for all you.. i don't know what i would've done honestly"
"Ugh why are we getting sappy? But yeah dude. That was it for him." Dean grinned. "Oh god remember when we told her about us getting bumped" he winced
Seth frowned, "One of the only times I've ever seen her cry.. was the day we left"

"Okay so why did you wanna take us out for ice cream?" Brie laughed, eating a spoonful of her dessert. "I just wanted to hangout. Give the boys some alone time" Paige smiled over at her
They had found a cute little ice cream shop a few minutes away from the hotel. "Whatever Seth wanted to talk about.. was it serious?" Nikki pursed her lips
They found a bench to sit on. It was in the perfect spot under the shade. Shielding them from the heat of the sun. "Nah don't worry. I guess it was only guy talk. Don't worry" Paige tried to reassure the twins
"Just wondering though.. are you and the guys like officially together?" Paige asked hesitantly
"I think so. I mean it feels like it. Besides, i don't think Roman has said any more than Dean" Nikki shrugged, licking off her spoon.
"Do you want them to make it official?" Paige raised her eyebrows, shoving some ice cream in her mouth.
"It's be nice, but i mean we're in good places right now with the relationships" Brie smiled sheepishly.
"I still worry about them you know. When i first met the guys, i was closest to Seth. Technically he was one of the first people i ever met when i came to Florida. But Dean and Roman.. man what we had from the beginning was really great. They were both really depressed for a long time" Paige admitted.
It shocked the Bella's. The guys barely talked about certain things from even 3 years ago, and they never had it in themselves to ask.
"Then you two came in the picture. They're so happy and i could never thank you enough" Paige continued. A small smile on her face.
Nikki and Brie felt their hearts melt at that. "Well we'll be in their lives for as long as they want us in them" Brie pulled Paige in for a hug. "How did you and Rollins get together?" Nikki had to ask
"Long story short? Well we were best friends for over a year. And before they left to go on the road for the first time after NXT, he kissed me. Basically been together ever since" her face went pink when the twins erupted in awes.
"Come on, we better get up there. You guys need to leave soon" They all stood up and Paige grabbed their hands.

Roman, Dean and Seth decided to finish packing up when their conversation ended. The air was heavy. They weren't used to those types of talks at all. When the girls got back to the room, they could immediately feel how the air in the room had shifted.
"Okay well i guess we better get out of here. You guys need to get to the airport soon" Seth smiled and stood up from where he was sitting on the floor. He walked over to Nikki and Brie and gave them hugs. Dean and Roman waiting for Paige to come to them. "You boys be good" she said playfully, bouncing over to them.
She jumped into Deans arms first, "Call us if you need anything" she whispered and cupped both their faces. Dean nodded and handed her to Roman. "I'll miss you" she pouted
"We'll miss you too" Roman smiled softly and kissed her forehead. He put her down and Seth walked over to say his goodbyes.
Once Seth and Paige left, they got in the elevator and Paige smiled. "Did you talk to them?"
"Yeah. Did you ask Nikki and Brie?" He put his arm around the Brit
"Yeah they even said they want them to make it official or whatever" Paige squealed
"I uh.. i asked if they loved them" Seth cleared his throat. Paige's eyes went wide and she covered her mouth, "What did they say?"
"They didn't really answer"
"Oh my god oh my god oh my god" Paige was almost screaming. She was too excited. Seth tried his best to bite back his laughter. "What if they do love them? What if Nikki and Brie say it back? she was babbling now. "Babe calm down you're talking too fast"
"Sorry but can you imagine that? And how amazing it'd be? I honestly believe they love them" Paige took a breath and bit her lip.
Seth agreed with everyone she was saying. "I see it too honestly. Come on, let's go so we can explore the city"

"Okay you guys ready to go?" Roman asked as he zipped up his suitcase.
"Yeah i think we're good" Nikki smiled and grabbed Deans hand. Roman nodded and opened the door. They filed out and down the elevator to check out.
"How long is the plane ride going to be?" Brie looked up at Roman
"Only a few hours. Probably less. It won't be long" He leaned down to kiss her head.
They got to the airport and dropped off the rental car. A few fans recognized them and asked for pictures. Even though they had to get on the plane soon, they stopped and sighed some stuff. They boarded the plane, Dean and Roman sat together while Nikki and Brie were a few rows away. And Roman was right, the plane ride was only a little over an hour.
When they got off and got their luggage, Roman called a taxi to take them back to his house.
"Oh my gosh it's so cute!" Nikki smiled when Roman opened the door.
"Thanks. I love it" Roman chuckled, "Go on. Look around"
Nikki and Brie took off their shoes and started to explore the house a bit. It was a simple little beach house, but it was gorgeous. The walls were painted white and had a lot of silver were pictures on the walls and on the TV stand. The couch was big and fluffy.
"Oh my gosh this kitchen" Brie gushed.
Roman and Dean walked up to them and grabbed their hands. "We'll show you upstairs"
Leading the girls, up the small flight of stairs, "Okay the room on the right is the guest room. The bathroom is just down at the end of the hall. There are more blankets and everything in the closet. So you guys can get unpacked and remake the bed or whatever" Roman patted Deans back and smiled at Nikki before pulling Brie along to his room.
"And this one is mine. So the bathroom is connected and just right through that door"
Brie nodded and looked around before jumping on the bed. "You know you have great decorating skills" she laughed
Roman walked over to her and sat down, "Don't tell him i told you.. but when i moved in, Dean came with me to buy everything. And he was totally in charge and decorated a majority of the house. He was so excited, he wouldn't even let me help" Roman whispered
Brie threw her head back and laughed, "Oh my god"
He laughed and ran his hand down her arm, taking a hold of her hand. She cocked her head and laced their fingers together. "Do you wanna go get some groceries?" Roman raised his eyebrows
"Sure. But can we nap first" Brie yawned
"Yeah get into bed. I'll go let Dean and Nikki know" he kissed her forehead and got up. Walking over to the other bedroom. They were just laying on the bed, talking. He knocked on the door, "We're gonna nap for a bit. Then head to the store and get some groceries"
Dean turned to face him, "Sounds good dude. We'll wake you up in a bit"
Roman nodded and went back to his room. Shutting the door halfway, he took off his shirt and got into bed. Brie had already made herself comfortable. "Go to sleep" he whispered, kissing her quickly. Brie nodded and turned over so she was laying against his chest.

"Dean! Don't be a little shit" Nikki cackled as Dean placed multiple kisses on her stomach.
"I have no idea what you're talking about" he grinned up at her
"Get up here and kiss me" She pouted. Dean chuckled and kissed his way up her body. Focusing on her jawline. Nikki groaned, which caused Dean to smirk. He cupped her face and pecked her lips a few times before she grabbed his face and made him actually kiss her. Their tongues slid against each other and it cause a shiver to run down her spine.
Dean ran his hands down her sides and pulled her as close as possible. When they pulled apart, Nikki leaned her forehead against his, "Why were you being so.. quiet earlier? I noticed"
"No reason. I was just tired. Don't worry" Dean tried his best to give her a convincing smile.
Truth is, he's been thinking about what Seth had said. Did he love her? He'd never actually told someone that before.. before Nikki, he didn't think he was capable of having such strong feelings for someone else. And Nikki, did she love him? He couldn't just ask her.. no he'd wait.
"Dean? Baby you're thinking too hard" Nikki's voice pulled him out of his thoughts.
"Sorry" he rested his head against her chest. Nikki frowned and kissed the top of his head. "Rome has a really nice place" she smiled, trying to lighten the mood
"Yeah you should have seen him when he first bought it" Dean looked up at her, running a hand across hers.
"We should go wake them up. It's been over an hour." Nikki waited until Dean rolled off her and got up. They went over to Romans room. Opening the door slowly, they peeked in. Roman and Brie were under the blankets, curled around each other.
"Awe they're so cute" Nikki smiled.
Dean smirked and got on the bed beside Brie. Nikki took the hint and plopped herself beside Roman. She nudged at his shoulder and Dean played with Brie's hair.
They started stirring and Roman woke up first. "Why are we all spooning in my bed" he didn't even have to open his eyes to know Nikki and Dean had joined them.
"No reason" Dean mumbled
"Dean, where is your hand?" Brie murmured
"By my side"
"Nicole, are you holding my hand?"
Nikki laughed and looked over Romans shoulder. "Yep"
"Is this your attempt at waking us up?" Roman groaned and grabbed onto Nikki's and Bries hands. His completely covering both of theirs.
"Yeah and it worked. So you're welcome" Dean raised his eyebrow, "But Rome your bed isn't big enough for this shit. I'm falling off"
Roman snorted and pulled Brie closer to him, so Dean could actually lay on the bed. He scooted closer to Brie so she was sandwiched. Nikki was comfortable, leaning into Roman. Her leg draped over his.
"So are you still gonna get food? It's almost 7" she yawned
"Yeah we'll go to the store now. Wanna come?" Roman turned his body a bit to look at her
"Sure. Dean?"
"Nah i'll stay here. You guys go"
They untangled themselves and got up. Nikki and Brie tied their hair up and Roman changed. Dean went downstairs and turned the TV on. Roman put his sunglasses on and grabbed his car keys. "Okay we'll be back soon"
Roman, Brie and Nikki piled into his car and buckled up. "Do you guys know what you want to eat tonight?" Roman asked, pulling out of the driveway. "It doesn't matter. Just make sure you buy some salad and stuff" Brie grinned
He reached over and grabbed her hand. "Ew i'm totally the third wheel" Nikki pouted teasingly.
"Do you want me to hold your hand when we get in there too?" Roman looked in the rear view mirror and laughed when Nikki nodded. "Actually yeah, you better"
Earning laughs from both Roman and Brie.
They arrived at the grocery store, it was still pretty busy.. which they hated, but they got a cart and headed inside. "Okay since we'll only be here till Friday, we don't need too much."
"Okay but i want ice cream." Nikki looked around, "And Dean wants olives"
Roman nodded and grabbed Brie's hand. They had noticed some people giving them odd stares. But brushed it off, was something they were used too by now.
"Wanna get Chipotle for supper?" Brie spoke up, "I saw one on the way here"
"Sure. You eat meat right?" Roman looked at her
"Yeah i'm just picky" Brie shrugged. They all went their separate ways. All looking around. Brie had found some fresh veggies. Nikki came back with pie, whipped cream and some fruit.
They put everything in the cart, "We should stop at the liquor store quickly"
Roman nodded, grabbing Brie's hand again and holding his other one out for Nikki. She chuckled and took it. "You know this might look weird if someone takes pictures" Nikki shook her head
Brie and Roman just nodded, smiles on their faces. "Okay i think we have everything."
They went to the check out area and put their groceries on the counter. Roman took out his wallet and decided to pay.
"There's a liquor store just down the road" he mentioned when they got back to the car and unloaded everything.
