I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.

Brittney's Point of View-

I went into the locker changing my shirt, but stayed in the skinny jeans I had wore tonight because I didn't feel like changing them nor my shoes. I pulled my bag onto my shoulder walking out walking down the hall by myself grabbing a water bottle along the way saying good-night and good show to anyone I had walked by that night, whether they be crew or talent. I found the locker room Justin was talking about knocking on the door getting the door to open with Justin on the other side, he stepped out closing the door behind him.

"You don't want to go in there…" Justin said.

"I believe you…" I said nodding as he wrapped his arm around me leading me through the halls out back where we went to our rental waiting on the two other men. "I never thanked you…" I said as I climbed onto the trunk of the car.

"For what?" Justin asked rolling his head to look at me as he was leaning against the car beside me.

"For going along with this…I know how awkward and weird this is…it must be hurting your game having to pretend to date me and not be able to go after any girls because it will ruin what we are trying to do." I said realizing that.

"What girls? It's not like I was trying to bark up any trees…" Justin said shrugging.

"But still…thank you…" I said resting my hand on his shoulder giving it a squeeze, he patted my hand with his symbolizing that it was okay when I looked over to the door as he continued holding my hand seeing Heath walk out first with the taller man behind him when Justin pushed himself off the car standing in front of me leaning forward onto the car with his hands on either side of me causing us to be mere inches apart.

"Is this good?" Justin whispered as he smirked.

"Perfect." I said wrapping my arms around his neck.

"You know, most friends won't do this…"

"We aren't like most friends…" I said chuckling.

"Not on my car you two…" Wade said as Justin stood up helping me slide off the trunk when Wade unlocked the trunk getting it to pop open putting our things into the trunk. I climbed into the backseat with Justin where I buckled up looking at Wade and Heath in the front before I looked to the man that was sitting beside me, he was looking out the window as I slowly reached out resting my hand on top of his that rested on the seat between ours getting him to jump snatching his hand back and he looked back at me, I nervously pushed a strand of hair behind my ear looking the other way hoping Wade didn't see that as the car was pretty quiet as Wade drove through the night to the next city which was a few hours away, we went into the lobby checking into our rooms. "Don't you two want to share a room?" Wade asked.

"Just because we are dating doesn't mean we are going to share a room…I'm going to be a gentleman…" Justin said.

"You can share a room without anything happening…" Wade said.

"You can share my room Justin…" I said as I gave him a look.

"I don't want to if you don't want me too sweetie." Justin said as he rested a hand on the arch of my back as we climbed onto an elevator to go up to our rooms.

"I don't mind…" I said shrugging, "But I think it'll be better if you stayed with Heath…next weekend we can share a room…" I said.

"Why's that?" Wade asked.

"You are not a part of this relationship, you don't need to question her motives…" Justin said.

"I'm just a curious bystander…" Wade said as the elevator tinged allowing us to walk off the elevator.

"I don't feel comfortable…I mean we share an apartment, but we are still in the fragile state of our relationship…" I explained.

"Justin can be a wild animal…" Wade said chuckling as we approached my room first, and Heath's and Justin's were literally the room next door, "Night Brit…may I hug her?" Wade asked looking to Justin.

"No problems, hands above the waist though…" Justin said as he crossed his arms over his chest watching as I gave Wade a hug good night and he walked down the hall, I gave Heath a quick hug as Justin stepped in front of me, "Don't let Wade get to you…I think he is trying to call our bluff, I think he thinks we aren't truly dating but keep it up…" Justin said as he rested his forehead against mine feeling him running his hands through my hair getting tangled.

"Wouldn't you?" I asked smirking.

"When it comes to us, yes…" He said smirking, oddly I felt myself pushing forward to press my lips against his soft lips for a soft peck, it was nothing compared to the awkward kiss we had earlier and he kissed me back.

"Night…" I said.

"Night…was that better?" Justin asked.

"Much…Heath?" I asked looking down the hall seeing neither Heath nor Wade anywhere, "We did that for nothing…" I said as I put one hand on my hip as my other continued resting on his shoulder.

"It was still practice…" Justin said winking.

"That it was…I think Heath would say we'll need more…" I said smirking, "Night J…" I said.

"Night Brit." Justin said as he headed down the hall to his room, I turned around letting myself into my room and I got ready for bed before I zonked out for the night. The next morning, I had gotten up early going down to the gym attached to the hotel doing a quick workout before I went up to my room showering and got dressed for the show, making sure my hair and make-up were presentable. I got a text message saying that the boys were down in the lobby waiting for me, I grabbed my things going downstairs where Justin greeted me with a big hug with a kiss on the cheek before we headed towards the rental car loading up driving the short distance to the arena. We climbed out of the car grabbing our duffels from the trunk where we begun walking into the arena, I got the guts reaching over grasping Justin's hand getting him to pull it away, trying it again and he kept pulling his hand away getting Wade to give us a questionable look to what was just happening.

"Justin, go along with it…" I whispered as Justin looked and realized it was my hand where he reached over grasping my hand interlacing our fingers together.

"Sorry, I'm not used to this whole…" Justin said.

"Thing…" I whispered interrupting him.

"Yeah…it'll take time, huh?" Justin whispered as he pulled open the door holding it open for me as he walked in behind me. He grasped my hand again interlacing our fingers, it felt awkward for the first so many seconds but I think I could get used to this feeling. Justin walked me to the women's locker room that was literally next door to the Nexus's locker room, we stopped in front of the door turning to face each other where Justin grabbed my other hand, "I'll miss you…" Justin said.

"I'll miss you too…" I said smirking, he leant forward and I met him in the middle for a quick peck on the lips and I pushed a strand of hair from my face after the kiss before I turned around heading into the locker room pulling out my skirt and my Nexus shirt staring at the ring attire I haven't wore since the photo shoot. I pulled it out and decided to wear it tonight for some odd reason, I felt like wearing it so I begun pulling it on confidently when I was joined by Kelly and Layla.

"Is that your ring attire?" Layla asked.

"Yeah, my new ring attire…figured to wear it to start getting used to it…" I said shrugging as I adjusted the top a little.

"I like it…" Layla said.

"Me too…I have heard that you and Justin are dating…" Kelly said.

"Who told you that?" I asked curiously.

"Wade…he was talking about it with Alicia, she told me…" Kelly said.

"Oh…" I said as I tried not to let my emotions get to me about Wade and Alicia, especially the jealousy.

"So?" Layla asked.

"Yeah…we just started dating, we figured why not give it a try…" I said shrugging as I grabbed my make-up bag along with my hair supplies going into the bathroom setting my stuff onto the sink counter. I freshened up my make-up and did my hair the way that I knew the hair employees would do it leaving it at that.

"You don't seem very happy about it." Kelly said as she joined me in the bathroom with a bottle of lotion.

"What scent is that?" I asked.

"Warm Vanilla Sugar…I'll hook you up with some left over ones I have, there is plenty of lotions I have that I don't use anymore…"

"Thanks…I'm happy about it, but right now it still seems awkward because it's different opposed to our old relationship…" I said shrugging as I pushed a bobby pin into my hair holding strands of hair there.

"That is with any new relationship…as long as you guys like each other enough and willing to make that step…" Kelly said as I smirked nodding knowing she was right as I grabbed my things going out putting my stuff into my bag spraying some hair spray onto my butt for my trunks so they won't ride up. I slid the small thing of lip glass into the small pouch/pocket the wardrobe had put on the inside of my trunks for me to use if needed, I think it was meant for blades but I will not be using any in the near future so I slid my lip gloss in there before heading out of the locker room going to catering grabbing some water for myself and one for Justin heading back out bumping into Justin and Wade as I was heading towards the gorilla position.

"I was looking for you babe, I got you a bottle of water." I said smirking as I handed him the bottle as he grabbed it from me smiling himself as he grabbed my waist turning me to walk with them to wherever they were going.

"Why are you wearing your ring attire?" Wade asked.

"I figured why not? I need to get used to wearing them sometime…." I said shrugging.

"I think you look absolutely beautiful…." Justin said trying to make myself blush at his compliment.

"That she is…" Wade said as I was trying to read his emotions and tone but couldn't as we ended up going back into catering where I sat beside Justin watching them munch on their snacks, I reached over snatching some of Justin's apple slices.

"Tonight they are going to announce that it's a triple threat for the Diva's belt…" I said breaking the silence that had emerged over the table.

"You're going to win right?" Justin asked.

"Yeah…I would assume so…same night you and Heath win the tag titles I would hope…" I said smirking.

"Oh, you know you're boo and that ginger will win the tag titles, isn't that right?" Wade asked.

"I guess…" Justin said shrugging.

"Brit, it's time…" Layla said peeking into the doorway as I nodded standing up grabbing the water bottle to go with me as I went to walk around Justin, he grasped my hand turning me around and he stood up.

"You want me to come with?" Justin asked.

"No, I'll be fine…enjoy your snack…" I said smirking as he leant in giving me a peck on the lips, it still felt uncomfortable and awkward.

"Good luck out there…" Justin said smirking.

"Thanks…" I said as I pushed a strand of hair behind my ear looking over to Wade who swallowed what he had in his mouth.

"Good luck Brit, do us proud…" Wade said doing a side smile as I smirked as I turned heading towards the door and out to where the gorilla position was to do the same thing that we had done the last couple of nights and it was performed almost identical. I climbed out of the ring heading towards the ramp seeing the titantron screen change to an image of Teddy Long for it to play the promo he had shot earlier.

"Hold it right there Miss Brittney…since you can't seem to keep yourself out of Layla's nor Kelly's matches as of late, how am I to know that you won't interfere in their match at TLC? What do you say if I make it a triple threat match for the Diva's belt and you being the third component?" Teddy said as I nodded smiling as I turned around looking at the two girls in the ring helping each other to their knees looking at me as I continued smiling evilly running my hand through my hair walking backwards up the ramp waving at them when I approached the stage. I went back to the back grabbing a free roaming water bottle in one of the 24-packs that were always laying around the backstage area leaning against the wall near gorilla position catching my breath from the excitement of what just happened when I heard the familiar sound of Justin laughing so I headed down the hall seeing him sitting on a crate holding a water bottle that rested on his knee, Heath, David and Wade stood around him in a circle of sorts, it seemed like they were talking about something.

"Hey guys…" I said as I approached them.

"Hey babe…" Justin said extending his arm out to try to grab me as I stepped between Heath and David to stand beside him but he pulled me in front of him leaning back against the crate between his legs and he wrapped his arms around me resting his hands on my waist, oddly enough I collected all of my hair moving it to my one shoulder so it won't be in his way.

"What are you guys talking about?" I asked curiously as I looked around at the men then over my shoulder at Justin who was resting his chin now onto my shoulder.

"Our experiences in the independent leagues and the crazy things we saw…" Heath answered.

"David, tell her the story you just told us…" Wade said as I looked from Wade to David anticipating the story, I listened to David tell this insane story that was causing me to chuckle feeling Justin's lips press against the curve of my neck getting me to jump a little not expecting it so I turned my head to that side smirking a little, this was the first time I had felt comfortable about this whole thing, even though kissing isn't normal in our friendship but the way we were relaxed and the way we were positioned would be like how we would be when we were friends.

"You're up!" The PA said getting me to snap my head from looking to Justin as I smirked breaking from Justin's embrace allowing him to jump off the crate and when he got to his feet he slid his hand into mine interlacing his fingers with mine, I couldn't believe that this was happening. It felt weird hanging onto hands with him but I knew it had to be done to get the man I truly wanted. Justin and I walked hand and hand to the gorilla position where Justin turned around grabbing my other hand.

"Will you be here when I'm done?" Justin asked.

"Always." I said smirking.

"Brit, why don't you accompany your man to the ring, we don't want him missing you too much." Wade said rolling his eyes as he crossed his arms over his chest annoyed as we glanced to him smirking.

"Seriously?" I asked.

"Go before I change my mind." Wade said as Justin and I ran up the steps taking the mark with Heath as we continued to hold hands until we stepped through the curtains breaking the grip, I knew better than to do it out in the view of the audience because we were to not be dating even though I'm sure some fans have caught us in hugs or in positions that gave away we were 'dating.' I escorted them to the ring, I climbed into the ring with them standing with them while their opponents made their entrance when Justin pressed the bottom rope down with his foot and pulled the middle rope up helping me climb out of the ring onto the apron then I jumped off the apron.

"Do I get a kiss?" Justin asked leaning through the ropes.

"On live TV?" I asked.

"Right…" Justin said smirking as he stood back up to do the match, I wandered along the one side of the ring watching the match screaming and smacking at the ring when I yelled at them. Justin did his 450 Splash after Heath did his Sweetness. Justin pinned their opponent as Heath climbed out of the ropes and helped me onto the apron as he got the 3 count climbing into the ring excitedly, I ran and jumped onto Justin, he had his arms wrapped around me holding me up spinning us a little before he set me down, our faces were mere inches apart knowing this would be a good time for a kiss, I felt myself wanting to break the distance between us but knew right now wasn't a good time. Justin and I just stood there exploring each other's eyes and he smirked his adorable smirk when he wrapped his arms around me again pulling me in for another hug rocking back and forth before Heath broke in holding both our hands up as we climbed out of the ring heading up the ramp to the backstage area and down the stairs.

"What was that?" Wade asked.

"What?" Justin asked as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder letting it dangle as I wrapped my arms around his waist keeping myself close to his embrace.

"You two almost blew it…you almost kissed on live television…if you can't control your loving tendencies, then you shouldn't go out there together…" Wade said.

"We didn't kiss though…we controlled ourselves…you need to stop worrying Wade…we are mature adults…" Justin said.

"You better not slip up because it is your butts…." Wade said as he stormed off angrily as we waited until he got out of ear shot before we bursti into laughter, he has fallen hook line and sinker into this trick.
