Shoutout to Super Shadow 2018 for the review and liking my story.

This chapter takes place a few weeks before Wrestlemania 34.

Nicola is laying on her bed in her apartment. She hasn't been able to fall asleep. She's still trembling with excitement.

It had been a couple of weeks since Stephanie told her she'd be moving up to the main roster. As well as being paired with John Cena in a storyline.

She had never in her wildest dreams she would be working with John.

While she wasn't a huge Cena fan, she did enjoy watching him in the ring.

And secretly, she couldn't help but feel a bit attracted to him.

It's no secret he's really hot. That dimple smile. And his sexy chest and torso.

Nicola opened her eyes, feeling a bit hot and bothered.

She knew she needed to be professional towards John. Especially since he's engaged to Nicole Garcia Colace, aka, Nikki Bella.

Next Morning

Nicola just got done showering. She's eating some cereal when her phone rang.

She picked it up and saw it was Stephanie.

"Hello?"

"Hey Nicola. I was wondering if you could stop by the Performance Center later today so we could discuss what you'll be doing until Wrestlemania 34."

"Oh. Ok. Sure. I'll come by real soon."

"Oh by the way John Cena will be here as well."

Nicola dropped her spoon in shocked. She was screaming in excitement in her head.

After a few moments she regained her composer and said. "Okay. Good. I look forward to meeting him in person."

"Okay good. See you until then." Stephanie hung up.

Nicola felt her heart pounding and her face heating up.

"I can't believe I'm going to meet John Cena before our storyline."

She then finished her breakfast and changed into a sleeveless shirt and tight jeans.

She also put on a little bit of make up. Besides, if she was going to be meeting John Cena for the first time, she figured she should look her best.

She put her phone and cards in her purse and left the apartment.

Later

Nicola arrived at the Performance Center.

She was feeling a little nervous. She's just a few minutes away from meeting John Cena.

She took a few deep breaths, and kept chanting to herself.

She then got out of her car, and then walked into the building.

She got to Stephanie's office and knocked on the door.

Stephanie shouted, asking who it was.

"It's me Nicola."

"Come in."

Nicola walked in. She was a bit disappointed not to see John.

"John's said he'll be here a bit."

After about five minutes of waiting there was another knock on Stephanie's door.

Stephanie shouted who was it.

"It's John." Nicola felt her heart racing.

"Come in!"

John came in, and Nicola was just awestruck at how amazing John looked.

John walked over and sat down on the other chair, next to Nicola.

"John. I'd like to introduce you to Nicola Glencross, the woman you will be working with after your Wrestlemania match with the Undertaker."

He saw her and smiled, which made her heart melt.

"Well it's nice to meet you Nicola." John replied, extending his hand out for a handshake.

Nicola looked down at his hand, then looked back at this face, then she shook his hand.

She felt her heart flutter, and she could feel herself blushing.

"It's really nice to meet you too John." Nicola replied with a smile.

"So I called you two here to discuss what the two of you will be doing before Wrestlemania."

"Okay." Both John and Nicola said at the same time.

"I realized that the best way to make a storyline good is for the people involved to feel comfortable with one another and get used to the other person's role."

"So I suggest that you two will be involved in some single and mixed tag team matches at some house shows and live events before WrestleMania. Just to see how fans might react. And so you two can get to know each other. How does that sound?"

"I'm down with that." John replied.

"I'm down with it too."

"Good. Then it's settled. We will need you two at the next house show in Panama City, Florida in a few days. You two will be taking on Charlotte Flair and Kevin Owens. That'll be all."

"Well. I'm looking forward to working with you." John said to Nicola with a smile. She smiled back. "Looking forward to working with you too John."

Both John and Nicola left Stephanie's office. They it to the front of the building.

Nicola had just reached her car when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

She turned around to see John.

"Oh. Hey John. What's up?" she asked.

"Are you doing anything tomorrow night?"

Nicola feels her heart pounding. "No I'm not doing anything. Why?" She wondered.

"The reason I'm asking is that I want to know if you would like to have dinner with me tomorrow night."

Nicola looked surprised. Is John really asking me out? she wondered. She knew what she wanted to say, but she had to ask. "Um. Are you sure?" "I dunno. Would Nikki Bella be okay with it?"

He put his hands up. "Hey. I'm not asking you out on a date or anything. It's just business. I just thought we should get to know each other. Like Stephanie said."

Nicola understood. "You know what? Sure. That actually sounds like a good idea."

"Okay. There's this restaurant that's a few blocks from here." "Do you want me to pick you up tomorrow night?"

"Sure. Let me just give you my address and number so we can stay in contact." Nicola said before giving him a piece of paper.

"Thanks. I'll pick you up at seven. How does that sound?"

Nicola could feel herself blushing again. "Yeah. Sure. That sounds good." She said smiling.

He smiled back. "Good. Well I better take off. See you tomorrow." He turned around and left.

She got into her car. She just sat for what felt like an eternity, trying to process what had just happened.

She then smiled to herself. "I'm having dinner with John Cena tomorrow night." She said softly to herself. She was officially on cloud nine now.

She then started her car and drove home.
