CHAPTER 38:

The next morning, AJ arose from the back of her hotel room to find that Roman was already up making breakfast. "Hey there my lovely angel. Did you sleep well last night?" he asked as he continued to stir the mixing bowl. "Eh somewhat" AJ said as she took a seat at the table. "What are you making?" "Homemade pancakes" said Roman. "I got the recipe from Brie and Bryan." "Oh…" AJ said enthusiastically. "Don't worry I made a few changes to the ingredients so they won't turn out to be bland" said Roman as he began to pour the batter onto the frying pan. "Baby can I ask you something?" AJ asked. "Sure" said Roman as he set the bowl into the sink. "Last night….did you ever notice something…off about Nikki?" asked AJ.

Roman froze because at that moment he knew exactly what she was talking about. He lowered the flame on the stove and turned around to face his wife. "Yes actually I did" he said. "I mean I'm only asking because I turn around the corner last night and I see her hysterically crying" said AJ. "And I tried to console her and everything but it just didn't work." "I know why she was upset" said Roman. "She and Colby got into it." "What do you mean they got into it?" asked AJ. "What I mean is that…." Roman paused. "Ok before I tell you anything, you and I must keep this a secret together ok?" "Of course Leati" said AJ. Roman took a deep breath before resuming because he knew what he was about to tell AJ wasn't exactly his business to do so but given that she was his wife, they had to be completely open and honest about everything now.

"She and Colby, well they got into it again" said Roman. "They got intimate again?" asked AJ. "Yeah well that too" said Roman. "Oh my God Leati are you serious!?" asked AJ. "I wish I was lying to you" said Roman. "But I'm not." "Oh my God when the hell did that even happen?" asked AJ. "Back a few weeks ago when we were in the Bahamas" said Roman. "And according to Colby, she just came to him that night we had that big thunderstorm and they just did it you know?" "But what about Randy?" AJ asked. "I thought she loved him." "Yeah you see that's the thing I'm not so sure about" said Roman. "But it kind of gets worse." "Nothing can get any worse than that" said AJ. "Oh believe me it can" said Roman. "The reason why it is that bad is because apparently he tried to confront Nikki about last night and him…sort of insulted her because of her illness in the process."

"Oh man" AJ said. "That is so wrong." "Yeah and so she got pissed off enough that she slapped him really hard" said Roman. "Hard enough that it bust his lip." "Goodness" AJ said. "Yeah so Jon and I-not her John but my Jon,-our Jon told her that he basically better go after her and apologize to her before Orton finds him and kills him" said Roman. "This is unbelievable" said AJ. "That's what I thought" said Roman. "I mean like you have to remember that this kid has been in love with her for what…2 years now?" "He must be in a lot of pain" said AJ. "And I'm not talking about his lip."

"I'll say" said Roman. "I mean I told her to cut her loose and let her go a long ago but apparently…I guess if you're truly in love with someone then that could be extremely difficult." "So…now what?" AJ asked. "Because with her wanting to be essentially be with both guys isn't going to end up well-it never does." "I honestly have no idea" Roman said. "And that's the part that worries me the most." He turned around to begin attending to the first pancake and after flipping it on over to its opposite side, he turned back to face his wife. "I made a huge one so that we can cut it into half and share it" he said. "Like I said…I made some changes to the original recipe."

"Its ok" said AJ. "I think right now that pancake is doing a hell of a lot better than Randy's relationship with Nikki." "True that" said Roman. "True that." "I just feel like ever since she and John broke up…she hasn't been the same anymore, you know?" said AJ. "Yes baby I know" said Roman. "I know." "It's almost as if…she's trying to in a way, replace him" said AJ. "Well let's hope for her sake that she chooses the right thing to do" said Roman. "Yeah" said AJ. "Especially since she was the one to have caught my bouquet at our wedding."

Meanwhile, Nikki stood in her hotel room packing up her clothes. She was to head from Detroit to Milwaukee, Wisconsin for her match later on that night for "Smackdown." As she continued to fold her clothes, she received a knock at her door. "I'm coming Brie!" she said. She opened the door. "Brie I thought you already got…all of your….stuff…" her voice slowed down. It wasn't her sister, but it was Seth. "May I come in?" he asked. Nikki nodded as she closed the door behind them. "What are you doing in here?" she asked.

"I just wanted to talk to you again, that's all" said Seth. He walked over and took a seat on her bed. "I like your room in here. What time is your flight leaving?" "2:45" said Nikki. "I'll be at the arena by 4 if there's no delays." "That's good" said Seth. "So then I guess we'll be seeing each other again tonight?" Nikki sighed. "Oh no, please don't tell me that you changed your mind already" said Seth. "No I didn't" said Nikki. "It's just that I'm a little…frustrated at you right now." "Is…everything ok?" asked Seth. "You didn't get in trouble because of me last night did you?" "No, it's just that you shouldn't be in here with me right now" said Nikki. "I mean Randy could come back in here any minute and catch you with me."

"Well where did he go?" asked Seth. "He went down to the gym about an hour ago" said Nikki. "Ok then I'll make this very quick ok?" said Seth. "Ok said Nikki." "Like you, I did do a lot of thinking last night and I mean a lot" said Seth. "And?" asked Nikki. Seth stood up and took Nikki's hands into his. "You're not asking me to marry you right?" she asked. "Because if you are then I…" "No, no of course not" said Seth. "What I'm trying to say here is that…I really, really want to be with you Stephanie. I've always wanted to be with you for a really long time." "How long?" asked Nikki.

"2 years" said Seth. "And it was before you got pregnant. It was actually after I ended things with you is when I decided that I still wanted you that I had made a terrible mistake. I kept thinking about you and our time together and then it started to mess things up between Leighla and I and then…I just couldn't let you go you know? No matter what people were telling me." "People?" asked Nikki. "Yeah my friends Jon and Joe" said Seth. "Even my stepfather, my mother was telling me that what I had was just unhealthy feelings but then Jon was the one to seemingly come around after a while. I decided to suppress it-my feelings and just keep them to myself you know? And then that's what ultimately cost my relationship with Leighla last February."

"Oh my God I am so sorry" Nikki said. "No, no don't be sorry Nicole" said Seth. "I realized that after many mistakes-stupid ones that could very well haunt me one day, that I still wanted to be with you and so that night when you came into my room and we made love I was just..." He paused. "I was just so damn happy. It was like I was out of this world. It was the best sex that I've ever had with a woman that I cared about." "You care about me?" Nikki asked. "Of course I do Nicole" said Seth. "I love you and that's why I won't make you choose between Randy and me. Only you can make that choice and if you want us both…then you can have us both. I know it may sound completely crazy but if we're careful like you say, then we can do this."

"You really mean that Colby?" asked Nikki. "Absolutely" said Seth. "I just wanna make you happy Nicole and if you can't choose one of us now, then perhaps you can in the future." "I don't know what to say" said Nikki. "Just say that we can do this" said Seth. "Just say that you're up to. And it doesn't have to be forever. It can be for as long as you want it to be." Those words sounded familiar. It reminded her of what Randy used to tell her after they first slept together. "I…" Nikki trailed off. "I won't rush you" said Seth. "And I won't pressure you or force you in that matter." Nikki nodded. She really loved Randy but at the same time her soul yearned for Seth in the most dangerous of ways imaginable. She knew eventually that she could ultimately end up with one but given that Seth has just appointed her with the option of not having to choose for a while, she suddenly felt a huge weight lifted off of her shoulders.

"Ok" she said calmly. Seth's eyes lit up with instant delight as he leaned in for a kiss. Nikki at first wasn't in the mood for kissing given that her boyfriend could come in at any moment and possible kill the both of them but eventually she gave into her temptations again as she began to kiss him back. Their kisses were electrifying to her in a way she has never felt before…well at least since she had been with John. Seth and Nikki fell back onto her bed as he held onto her ass while she held him. The two continued kissing, as if they had no more perceptions at the world around them. Seth stopped as he began to unbutton the top of Nikki's dress when she stopped him.

"We can't" she whispered. "I know you want to and I'm sorry." "Please?" Seth begged. "I really want you right now. It's…hurting me." "But Randy could be up here any minute and I really rather him not find out about this…about us" Nikki said softly. Her tendered words only turned on Seth even more. "Please?" he begged. "I really, really need you now." Nikki smiled as she gently kissed Seth who let out a hiss. "I'm so sorry" she said quietly. "I forgot about what I did to you last night." "Nah its ok" said Seth. "It's only 2 stitches. I should be as good as new next week." Nikki chuckled as she laid above Seth. "You know…we can always picked this off where we left it at" she said. "But I really want you now" said Seth. "I can't wait anymore." "Then I can do something else for you in the meantime" Nikki said.

"What?" Seth asked. "Shh…" whispered Nikki. "We're going to have to keep really quiet if we're going to do this." Seth quickly nodded as her hands began to trail down to the zipper of his navy blue jeans. She slowly began to unzip them as she placed her hand inside. The touch from her warm and soft hands caused Seth to harden even more. "Mmm someone's pulsating" Nikki teased as she began to make her way through the opening of his burgundy boxers. "I found you" she said softly up against his ear. Nikki began to slowly massage his cock which made Seth let out a groan. "Shh, remember we have to be totally silent now if we want this to work" Nikki said. "I…can't" said Seth. "It feels so good."

"How good?" Nikki teased. "Really, really good" said Seth. Nikki smirked as she noted the change in his breathing as she changed her pace, causing Seth to suddenly jerk his body. Nikki leaned into kissing him as an attempt to soothe him. "You were right" she said. "You were hurting. I can feel it." "Just...please…" Seth trailed off. Nikki moved down in front of Seth's cock, taking her time as she took it in. "Ugh God Nicole!" he growled. She could feel that there was a release getting ready to happen so she took her other hand to begin stroking his length. Seth took his hands and held Nikki's hair away from her face as she continued blowing him.

He continued swearing her name in pleasure as she continued to suck and stroke him. "Why do you do this to me?" Seth whispered. Nikki of course smiled as her mouth suddenly began to fill up with his load, he groaned as this happened and she stepped back as she swallowed him. "You taste really good" she said. Seth laid on the bed, still heavily breathing as his body attempted to calm down from all the excitement that was given to it. "Oh…Nicole…" Seth trailed off. "Don't worry" Nikki said as she picked up her hotel room key card. "I'll go stall him." Seth reached out to her. "Please…don't go" he breathed. "I have to silly otherwise we're going to get caught" said Nikki. "Can we…?" Seth trailed off. But Nikki decided to walk back towards him. She leaned down to kiss him as gently as possible.

"Yes" she said softly. "We can and we will. Tonight." Seth nodded as he rested his head back up against the pillows. "Are you sure that this is….what you want?" he asked. "Yes Colby, it is" said Nikki. "I promise. Now we can talk later about this and if you behave, we can pick up where we left off at." Seth watched as Nikki went to leave the room. He stared at her ass as she walked out of the room, it was beginning to turn him on again, but he was way too tired to do anything about it. He was completely ecstatic about Nikki being with him. This time he was determined to make it last….or would it?

A/N: Not a very smart idea you guys have Nikki and Seth….
