AJ's pov

I should have known better than to share a room with Kaitlyn. Her alarm on her phone may be the most annoying thing I have ever come in to contact with in my life.

Must. Resist. Hurting. Someone.

I scurry out of my bed and run over to Kait's bed which is only a few metres away from mine. Even with that blaring noise coming from the speakers of her phone she's still sound asleep and snoring. How the hell does she do it? I can't even manage to get over three hours sleep but this chick could probably sleep right through world war three. Funnily enough, when I brush gently against her arm to pick up the phone to turn the alarm off, she manages to wake up. My best friend is an unusual human being.

"AJ? What time is it?"

"Whatever time you set your alarm seeing as it's just been going off."

"Oh. So it's 8 in the morning. Dang, my head hurts!"

"It's probably from all the crying you did last night, it tends to bring on a headache afterwards."

As soon as I mention the crying from last night, Kait's face drops. She must have forgotten about the events that took place last night and stupid little old me had to remind her. Damn it.

As I'm about to take a seat on her bed next to her to yet again cheer her up, I hear a knock on the door. Slightly strange considering the only people that usually knock on doors this time in a morning is room service, and I'm sure neither of us ordered that. I make my way over to the door and who should be behind it other than Kaitlyn's now ex-boyfriend Zack Ryder.

"Oh uh.. Hey AJ. Is Kaitlyn in here because I really have to speak with her?"

"Yeah, she's right through here. You've got wicked timing dude, we've only just woken up."

"Yeah, uhh… I know what time Kait's alarm usually goes off at so I kinda guessed."

I step aside to let him in and observe how nervous they are around each other since what happened between them. Before Zack can even speak though, Kaitlyn throws her arms around him. I can tell that she's resisting shedding tears at this point, but actions speak louder than words. I see Kait look up at me and I mouth the words would you like some privacy? ,and she nods. I quickly grab my phone and exit the room. It was then that I realised I should have known Dolph would be out in the hall waiting for Zack.

"Hey. Why are you stood out here all alone?"

"Same reason why you're out here. Giving those two some privacy to sort things out."

I walk over to him so I can get a closer look at his face. It's nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be as his eye is only a faint purple colour and his lip seems as if it's only slightly grazed. Is this man like Captain America or something? He seems to heal quicker than anybody I know.

"I take it you put ice on your eye like I told you too."

"Of course, I did it not long after I got off the phone with you. By the way, cute pj's. Don't think I've seen them before."

I look down to see what items of clothing he's referring too and realise that I'm wearing my worn out 'my little pony' pj's that I bought about 5 years ago. I've never worn them in front of Dolph because I thought they were far too childish, even though I regularly rock my Pikachu pyjamas around him. I suddenly start to feel incredibly self-conscious and would give anything to swap rooms with Zack and Kaitlyn right now.

"Oh yeah erm.. this is not my most attractive look is it? I probably look like such a state right now given my childlike choice of clothing, lack of make-up and bed hair."

"Are you kidding? You know you always look amazing, well to me you do anyway. I'm digging the my little pony gear. You make it look sexy."

Sexy. Really Dolph? I'm anything but sexy right now. I would argue my point but he looks sincere enough and I really don't want to argue with him anymore. Besides, I should be overly flattered at his compliment. It shows how much he cares about me.

"Thank you Ziggy. Did you manage to get any sleep after you got off the phone to me last night?"

"A little, but there's something I need to show you. I read this after we finished talking."

He pulls out his Iphone and then hands it over to me to read something. The first thing I spot on the screen is the name 'Nikki'. This can't be any good.

'Tomorrow me and you are going to have a talk about what happened with you and John. Trust me when I tell you the conversation isn't going to be pretty. –Nikki'

"Oh wow. What.. what does that mean?"

"It says what it means, she wants to talk to me about what went down with John. Knowing her she's going to be a bitter witch about the whole thing and god knows what else."

"So you're going to talk to her then?"

"I guess so. I know we said we'd avoid her at all costs but I want to know why she's said all this crap about anger problems and I want to hear what she has to say about John. We have to see her at the tapings tonight, so I'm not going to escape her."

Dolph must think I'm angry about him going to talk to Nikki, but actually I'm quite the opposite. They do need to talk about things that happened between him and John, and I want to know of whatever spiteful words she has to spew at Dolph. The one thing that seems to be running through my mind however, is how he's immediately told me about this text. Not long ago we were arguing about how he failed to mention talking to her, but now he's more open with me. It brings a smile to my face to know that.

"I agree with you. You should talk to her about things. I'm just.. I'm glad you told me about this Dolph. It means a lot."

I detect a hint of shock spread across his features at what I have to say. Maybe he doesn't realise that little things like being fully upfront with me means so much. He runs his fingers through my tangled mess of hair and bends down to kiss me on my lips. He's now smiling that beautiful smile of his that I adore, and I think that's the first time I've seen that smile in a few days.

"Trust me babe, I've learned from my mistake about not being more honest when it comes to Nikki Bella. I promise I won't keep anything from you again."

"I love you, you know that?"

He chuckles and then leans his forehead against mine. "I know, and I kinda love you too."

"When I said I wanted to talk to you Dolph, I didn't expect you to bring her along with you."

The mere sight of her makes me want to punch someone in the face. What gives her the right to be this way towards Dolph? Okay, maybe he did beat up her boyfriend, but even I know he deserved it with all the things he was saying about the two of us. None of this has anything to do with her anyway.

"Real cute Nikki. How about you just say your piece so I can get away from you as fast as I can."

"You are so pathetic. I'm trying to figure out why I went out with you for so long." She looks up and down at me after verbally attacking my man. This chick deserves her ass handed to her. "AJ sweetheart, good luck with this one. He's the worst boyfriend I've ever had."

I was willing to stand here by Dolph's side and just listen to whatever they have to say to each other, but how can she call my boyfriend bad when she's with Cena? "That's nice to hear Nikki, but I can see through your plastic exterior and tell that you're lying about that comment you just made. I mean, come on, why would you stick around with him for so long if he was so bad?"

"Er.. that's why I dumped him you anorexic freak."

Dolph can sense that I'm about to jump on this bitch as he stands in front of me to defend my honour. He's so good at doing that. "Look Nikki, you're crossing a line right now okay, will you just say whatever you have to say please."

"Crossing the line? Hell, you did that when you attacked my boyfriend! I wanted to let you know that John will be going to the board of directors with this and your future as a WWE superstar doesn't look very bright. Same goes for your little lapdog and bodyguard too."

"Is that it? I figured that much Nik. But let me tell you something, I'd much prefer to talk to John about all this and not you, so why don't you run along and go get your hair done with your twin or something and let me talk to your boyfriend."

"Shut up. I don't want my man anywhere near your idiotic ass because you're just going to spiral out of control as per usual and attack him yet again. I can't wait to see you get thrown out of this company, I.."

"Nikki, please babe. Calm down, yeah?"

Great, John is here. The situation clearly is getting better and better. I can practically see Dolph's body tense up, so I clutch onto his arm as a way of letting him know I'm here for him. Upon my touch, I can feel him soften, and he glances at me and offers me a smile to let me know he's fine.

"Dolph, after what happened last night I want to let you know that I'm sorry. I know I brought it on myself after saying those things man, and I would have probably done the same things if I was in your position."

John's actually apologising? Nikki looks furious. It really does bring me a sick sense of joy to see her not have things go the way she wanted. "I accept your apology John, and I apologise too. My actions were uncalled for and I'm sorry we both had to bruise each other's face. Does this uh.. still mean you're going to the board though?"

"The board? I never said anything about going to the board. I want this whole thing to be left in the past."

I see Nikki's face go from furious to downright rage filled. She nudges John in the side, and despite it not being that forceful, he winces as if he's in a great deal of pain. Maybe Dolph suckered him in the gut. "Yes we are. We talked about this last night, didn't we baby? It deserves to be reported that he attacked you."

"No. It's as much my fault as it is his, it's better for everyone if it gets swept under the rug. Come on Nik, don't put words into my mouth babe."

Nikki throws her arms up into the air ever so dramatically, and then storms off from John. He quickly follows her and in the distance I can hear them argue throughout the halls of the arena that we're currently at. Dolph now turns his attention to me with a puzzled look on his face.

"Well, I think that mess is sorted out now."

"Yeah, hopefully she doesn't play with his mind and convince him that he does in fact need to go to the board."

"I'm sure she won't. Hey, looks like we're not going to get fired anyway. See, we always get through the bad stuff and it turns out good."

"You're right. I'm still a little mad at you for getting yourself into that scenario in the first place. It was a really risky move Dolph."

He sneaks his arms around my waist and bends his knees a little so he is more on my eye level. He's fashioning this adorable puppy dog eyed look, and he knows how doing this makes my heart flutter. "I know babe. How about I make it up to you tonight? I have a good idea on how to make you not be mad at me anymore."

"Interesting.. Keep talking."

"It involves me, you and a luxurious bed. I won't say much more than that, because the rest is a surprise."

"You do know how to seduce a girl don't you Ziggy?"

"Of course babe, I managed to seduce the most perfect girl in the world to be my girlfriend didn't I?"

I look up and down the hallway of the arena and notice that there aren't any other people but us here. I throw my arms around Ziggy feeling fully content with everything in my little world. "Yes, you managed to seduce her in to become your girlfriend. And you've made her the happiest girl in the on the entire planet."

So sorry for the lack of update on this story, I've been really busy. I'll try and update the next chapter soon and thanks for the feedback, keep it coming!
