CHAPTER SIX:

"What did Paul say?" Randy repeated, watching Nicole intently.

"Nothing." Nicole replied quickly. "He didn't say anything."

"You're lying." Randy stated plainly.

Feeling her temper rise, Nicole rolled her eyes. "Who the hell are you to accuse me of lying? Paul is your friend, if you think he said something to me, why don't you ask him yourself?"

"Because I'm asking you." Came the response.

"Look, I have to go get ready for later. I'll see you out in the ring." Nicole stated, turning around.

Before she could walk away, Randy grabbed her arm, turning her back around to look at him. "What's wrong with you?" He questioned, his blue eyes curious.

"Nothing is wrong with me, please leave me alone." Nicole pleaded, knowing she couldn't explain what was going on.

"I will, if you answer me one question." Randy bargained.

"Fine." Nicole replied quietly.

"What's going on with you and Jeff?"

Closing her eyes, Nicole sighed deeply. "Um… we broke up." She finally admitted.

"Wow, you guys were so…"

"Happy?"

"Yeah, that's what I thought."

Laughing in spite of how upset she was, Nicole nodded. "I thought we were happy too."

"Well, I'm sorry." Randy said, sounding truly sorry. Nicole couldn't believe Randy Orton was being so caring. Hanging out with Paul and Ric, she had instantly pegged him as an ass, not even bothering to get to know him.

"It's ok, I just have to get over it." Nicole responded.

Randy just nodded, unsure of what to say. "I asked my question, I'll leave you alone now. I'll see you in a little while for the match."

Nicole stood silent, she wanted to tell Randy to stay, but she couldn't. Something about him told her that he was sweet and caring and she should give him a chance, but Paul's words still haunted her… "Now, all you have to do is promise me that you'll stay away from Orton. Do that, I'll leave you alone. If you don't, I'll make your life a living hell." She couldn't get those words out of her head. As much as she wanted to trust Randy, as much as she wanted to talk to Randy, she couldn't, Paul wouldn't allow it. If she did, he'd make her regret it, she was sure.

Shaking her head of all her thoughts, Nicole walked into her locker room to change for Jeff and Randy's match. As much as she didn't want to be involved, she was. She had to deal with both Jeff and Randy in as civil a way as possible.

*~*~*~*~*

"Come on Jeff!" Nicole cheered, from ringside. She was still Jeff's valet and everyone still believed that they were together. She felt so uncomfortable, being ringside with Jeff, the two hadn't even had a civil conversation since they broke up, yet they still had to make people believe that they were together and in love.

'We could just tell them the truth.' Nicole reasoned with herself. 'But then, I have to explain everything all over again. I can't do it.'

Shaking the thoughts from her head, Nicole clapped as Jeff hit Randy with the Whisper in the Wind, flinching internally.

She continued to cheer as Jeff went for the cover, Randy kicking out at two. The two fought back and forth for a couple more minutes, until Randy hit the R.K.O.

Nicole shook her head as the referee counted to three. Randy jumped up and celebrated for a few minutes, then left the ring and walked to the back.

As soon as Randy was gone, Nicole climbed into the ring and made her way to Jeff. Playing the part of the concerned girlfriend, Nicole leaned down next to Jeff, cradling his face in her hands.

She almost laughed at herself, realizing that a few days ago, she wouldn't have had to act concerned, it would've come naturally. Hearing the crowd's cheers, Nicole helped Jeff to his feet and helped him out of the ring.

Jeff acted like he was actually hurt, letting Nicole help him up the ramp and to the back. As soon as they were in the back, however, Jeff quickly stood up on his own. He glanced down at Nicole out of the corner of his eye, watching as she twirled a piece of hair around her finger, a sign that she was nervous or uncomfortable.

"I…" Jeff started, unsure of what to say.

Nicole looked over at him, her blue eyes meeting his green ones for a short second. She waited for him to continue, curious as to what he was going to say. When he didn't say anything, Nicole turned to leave.

Knowing he couldn't let her just leave, Jeff reached out and grabbed Nicole's arm, turning her around to face him. "Nic…"

Holding back tears, Nicole shook her head. "I… I have to go."

Before Jeff could protest, Nicole turned around and quickly walked away, leaving a tearful Jeff behind.

"Goddamnit!" Jeff cursed, punching the wall.

"Woah rainbow, chill out." A gruff voice said, laughing.

Jeff could almost feel his blood curl as he recognized the voice. Slowly turning around, his suspicions were confirmed. "What the hell do you want, Paul?"

Laughing, Levesque put a large hand on Jeff's shoulder. "I just wanted to come here and talk to you about a little proposition."

Raising an eyebrow, Jeff crossed his arms over his chest and waited for Paul to continue.

Obliging, Paul went on. "Okay Hardy, correct me if I'm wrong, but you and little Miss Nicole are no longer together, right?"

"How do you…. Who told you?" Jeff questioned with rising confusion.

"It's obvious, it used to take twenty people to separate you two. Now it takes twenty people just to get you in the same room."

"Why do you even care?" Jeff asked, getting annoyed.

"Well, this is the good part. You see, I know you still have feelings for Nicole. I know you want her back. I'm willing to help you get her back."

Jeff couldn't help but gasp, not only at Paul's offer, but at the fact that he couldn't help but find it somewhat intriguing. "Why would you help me?"

Sighing, Paul placed his hands in his pants pockets. "Well, it seems to me that Nicole and Randy have been talking and hanging out, they seem to be getting awful close." Paul explained, stifling a laugh at the look of jealousy that crossed Jeff's face.

"Why does it matter to you if they're talking?"

"Because… I don't want them together." Levesque answered. "I'll admit that I don't like Nicole, ok? But I'm offering to help you get her back. Now are you with me or not?"

Running a hand through his rainbow-colored hair, Jeff sighed. He couldn't believe he was actually considering Levesque's offer. It would be wrong to try to hurt Nicole, but Jeff couldn't stand the thought of Nicole and Randy together. Making up his mind, he glanced up at Paul.

Paul looked back at him, waiting for an answer. "Well?"

Jeff couldn't help but grin as he made his decision. "I'm in."
