After leaving the arena following Raw, I headed back to the hotel. I tossed my gear bag in the corner and sat on the bed. I flipped through the channels on the television, finding nothing that caught my interest. I turned the tv back off. It turns out that I quickly grew bored without any company. John had run off somewhere and I had no idea when he'd be back. My boredom had no end in site unless I did something. I grabbed my purse and headed out into the hallway. I walked aimlessly around the hallways until I landed in the lobby. A familiar voice broke me from my thoughts.
"Sparks!" I turned to see Randy Orton.
"Hey Orton, funny seeing you here," I said with a smile.
"It's nice to see you anywhere, I feel like I see you less and less these days."
"Life has gotten a little busy, I guess," I said with a shrug.
"It's hard to see people when you shuttle off to that ranch of yours all the time!" He chided playfully. I grimaced at the lie I'd been selling. I hadn't been to the ranch in at least 6 weeks. All my CM Punk visits had me seeming like a ranch recluse.
"I'm sorry! Let me make it up to you!"
"hmmm…I'll allow it. What did you have in mind?" he asked.
"Pizza and beer?"
"Perfect. My room?" I nodded.
"I'll go grab the beer, you go order pizza's. I'll meet you in your room in 10 minutes."
"Deal!"
About 10 minutes later I arrived at his room, beer in hand.
"Took you long enough," he teased.
"Oh, shut up. I had to get the good stuff," I said holding up the beer.
"I'll let it go this time then," he warned. "Next time you wont be so lucky!" I giggled.
"Yes, Sir!" I walked over to his bed and sat down. He turned on the tv, the movie 300 happened to be on. "Yes! I love this movie!"
"Me to. Please tell me the reason you love it, isn't because of Gerard Butler!"
"He sure as hell doesn't hurt! But seriously, I work with guys that look like that, I'm immune to the attractiveness!" I declared.
"You are a liar! You expect me to believe that you aren't attracted to all the muscles? I wasn't born yesterday!"
"Well fine… I sometimes admire the physiques of my coworkers."
"Pfft. Admit that you check out the men you work with!"
"Nope," I said firmly. He reached over and began to tickle me. I squealed with laughter as I tried to buck out of his grasp. "Fine. I work with hot guys!"
"Say you think they are hot!" He teased.
"I think the guys I work with are hot!" I yelled. He released me and we both laughed uncontrollably. "SO rude!"
"But so funny!"
The two of us continued to drink beer and eat pizza. It was nice to actually spend some time with him again. I'd missed him a lot but with the John stuff and the Punk stuff, I was a little distracted. We plowed through a pizza and nearly polished off two 12 packs of beer. I looked at the clock, it was nearly 2 am.
"I should probably get going, Orton. You've got to get your beauty rest!" I teased.
"Look who's talking. It was so nice to spend time with you again."
"I agree!"
"Goodnight, Sparks," he said softly.
"Goodnight!" I stood quickly albeit little shakily. That beer hit me a little harder than I'd thought.
I made my way back to my room. I opened the door slowly and quietly, anticipating the possibility that John would be sleeping. I was quite surprised to see our room illuminated. I stepped inside. John was sitting on the bed…with Eve. They were sitting oddly close to one another, granted they were still fully clothed.
"Hey Nicolette," she cooed.
"Hello there, what are you guys doing herreee," I said motioning at them with my hand in a circular motion.
"Well babe, I went to grab a bite and guess who I ran into," he chuckled amused.
"Eve, I'm guessing," I snapped.
"Right, so I asked her to join me and we got caught up talking."
"How fucking lovely," I mused sarcastically.
"Nicolette, it's just an innocent hanging out of friends here…." Eve said nervously.
"Shut up, Eve Whore-es!"
"Nic, are you drunk?" He asked tentatively.
"No. Are you, John?" His face became very serious. He got off the bed and approached me.
"What's gotten into you?" He whispered.
"Nothing…You know what, I'm just going to grab some things and get out of your way. I'm sorry to have interrupted," I said pushing past him to my suitcase.
"Don't be ridiculous! It's late, Nic, and you are clearly intoxicated," he insisted.
"Oh no! I insist!" I grabbed my toothbrush and headed towards the door.
"Tell Wade I said hi!" He shot back.
"Oh I fucking will!" I shouted and slammed the door.
I angrily stomped down the hall and down two floors to Wade's room. I knocked on the door. A groggy and shirtless Wade answered the door.
"Nicolette?" He asked confused.
"I'm sorry it's so late…but…but…" I felt my eyes well up with tears.
"Shhh, it's alright," he said pulling me into his arms. He hugged me tightly. I buried my head into his bare chest and he rested his chin on the top of my head. After a few minutes he lightened his grip and we closed the door to his room. "So what in the bloody hell happened, love?"
"I went to my room to find John with Eve practically on his lap! I kinda went off on him," I shrugged.
"That seems rather odd… and where were you all night young lady?"
"I was out with Randy. We hadn't really hung out in awhile so we've been hanging out."
"You know I love you but your breath reeks of beer!" He chuckled, slightly changing the subject.
"Yeah… I had a beer or two…." He shot me a look. "Okay, okay I had more like seven...eight beers."
"That's my girl!" He said amused.
"I did bring my toothbrush to combat the beer breath," I said proudly.
"How polite! Is it be a possibility that the beer may have made you overreact to the situation a little, love?"
"I don't believe so. Something is going down. I don't know what….but I can feel it."
"What do you mean something is going on?"
"Those two have something. They give each other weird stares they randomly are together. Being around both of them at once…there is something in the air…its not tension through. I don't have an proof of anything but I have a weird feeling, Wade."
"Do you think he'd cheat?"
"I don't know. I'd like to think that he wouldn't…"
"Well I'll keep an eye out and see if I notice anything."
"Thanks, Wade."
"You are very welcome. Does this mean I have a roommate tonight?" he asked hopefully.
"If you don't mind…"
"Of course I don't. I mean, you let me live at your house. We've been friends for forever...no big deal."
"You're the best!"
"I know, Love. Need some sleepwear?"
"Yep!"
"The usual one?" I nodded. He grabbed his Nexus T-shirt and tossed it to me. I caught it and hurried to the bathroom to change into it. I emerged and quickly scampered over to the one bed in the room and slid under the warm covers. Wade chuckled in amusement. "Are you ready to get some sleep?"
"Yeah, I'm exhausted."
"Okay. Goodnight, Nicolette."
"Goodnight, Wade." I gave him a kiss on the cheek and rolled over away from him. He turned off the lights and in no time I'd drifted off into a deep sleep.
The next morning
I groggily woke from a sound sleep. I didn't want to move a muscle. I was within a nice warm cocoon it was so comfortable. A big strong arm was draped over me. I could feel little breaths on the back of my neck. I had to admit that laying here I was completely relaxed, happy, safe. Wade began to shift around, waking up.
"Morning Wade," I said softly.
"Good morning, love," his said sleepily. He leaned over and gave my temple a soft kiss. "How'd you sleep?"
"Fantastic! Probably the best I've slept in weeks," I admitted.
"Glad to hear it. Want to grab some breakfast before our flight back to Tampa? There is a little diner across the street."
"That sounds amazing right now. I could definitely go for an omelet!"
"Let's get on with it then!" We both rolled out of bed. I slipped out of Wade's oversized shirt and into my own clothes that were sitting neatly on the floor.
We walked across the street to a cute little diner. We placed our orders with the peppy waitress.
"So Nic, how are you feeling today?" Wade asked carefully, almost bracing himself.
"I woke up feeling great. I'm very refreshed this morning," I stated. He shot me a look.
"You know what I meant. How are you handing last night's events?" He asked directly. He knew I'd play coy until asked outright. I took a deep breath.
"Honestly, I know this sounds crazy…but I still think something is going on between Eve and John. I don't know if they are fucking, I don't know if they are conspiring, but something is definitely happening there."
"I was afraid of that. I was really hoping that you were simply drunk and jumping to conclusions last night…Are you going to confront him about this?"
"I don't know. If something is going on, he'd probably deny it. So I guess, I don't know what to do. What do I do Wade!?" I said panicking.
"I can't really answer that for you, Nic," he said with a shrug.
"Well what would you do if you were me?"
"If I were you?…I guess I'd wait until I had proof to say anything. This could all be in your head or nothing serious at all. You might not want to rock the boat if you don't have to," he warned.
"You may be right…I knew there was a reason I kept you around," I said with a wink.
"I try my very best!" He chuckled.
"What time is our flight?"
"Our flight isn't for three hours relax. We'll be on time, I promise."
"Okay. I just feel like going home and relaxing for a day or so before preparation for Hell in a Cell this weekend."
"Me to. Home hasn't been the same without you. I've missed my partner in crime so very much," he said sweetly. I couldn't help but smile at him. I honestly didn't know what I'd do without him.
"I know, Wade. I feel bad I keep heading out of town on you. I want to make it up to you. How about we have a night, just the two of us. You can even pick what we do," I offered. A grin crossed his lips.
"Alright, naked pillow fights it is!" He joked. I playfully punched him in the arm. "Okay ...okay! I was kidding! How about we fire up the grill and cook some steaks, maybe swim in the pool a little and finish off the night with a Spartacus marathon. How does that sound?" he asked me.
"Perfect, absolutely perfect. There's no where else I'd rather be."
Thank you all so much for reading! You guys are awesome! I'm thinking this story will last until chapter 50. So keep reading and see what happens to Nicolette!
