AN:/This fic came as a challenge from one of my friends at Randy Orton Fan fiction. This is my FIRST Randy Orton fic and I did need a SMALL break from trying to write Riley and Jeff so I hope you enjoy my new fic Darling Nikki. I'm kind of listening to the Prince/ Foo Fighters song Darling Nikki when I came up with the title but it won't be that racy and if I ever use the song I'll hike the rating *nervous laughter* no I don't do smut yet. It's NOTHING like the song thank you.
Summary: Nicole is a 20 year old training to be one of the hottest WWE divas. Randy Orton is one of the hottest up in coming superstars. Both are on the path to greatness but what happens when their paths cross? Will they both prove too hot to handle and will they be able to handle each other?
Prologue
Eighteen year old Nicole was a cute girl. She was average in stature, about 5'6" 125 lbs. She had fairly tan which was a feet considering the fact that she lived in Minnesota where it was cold 9 months or more out of the year.
Nicole went to boarding school and wasn't exactly the party girl that a good number of her classmates were. The long pale blue skirt and hid her long legs and the button up polo shirt gave off only a hint of what was underneath. Her chestnut hair was constantly pulled back into a ponytail. True the 'in crowd' of girls shortened their skirts and made their polo tighter all to attract the attention of guys. Boy had she learned her lesson. She was once one of them, a year ago, before the whole mess with Kevin. She didn't want to relive that experience again.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the bell ringing signaling the end of high school as she knew it. The room erupted into cheers as they had sat through there last 'Thank God' she thought to as she picked up her backpack from the floor and headed into the halls. The hallways were filled with a see of freshman, sophomore, and junior students trying to exit the building eager to put school behind them for the summer.
She could see some of her senior classmates still lingering through the halls finally realizing it would be their last trek through the halls and across campus to their dorms. They would all be staying in the dorms one more night because the next day would be their final good-bye. A final good-bye, it didn't seem real. Sure the last year and a half had been hell here but she really did love it. Well, once you got passed all the shallow self-loving people who once claimed to be her friends. She still had one or two left but otherwise she was a loner.
By now she had reached her dorm room and could hear Audrey's music playing on the other side of the door. She smiled, four years and the same old Audrey. Some things would never change and she prayed that Audrey was one of them.
Audrey was her bubbly blonde roommate of four years. Audrey was every guy's fantasy at school. The long legs, long hair, you name it she had it. She was a social light and one of the very few people who knew about Nicole's true personality and about what had happened. She was someone Nicole trusted and nothing could ever change that.
Audrey always played her stereo loud enough so the whole dorm got a free concert. Nicole could have sworn at one time Audrey was taking requests. Nicole opened the door to her room and saw Audrey dancing in front of the mirror, like always. Nicole smiled and turned the stereo off as she had done in the past causing Audrey to whirl around and smile at her roommate.
"Hey Nicole, How was your last....class?" The smile quickly faded from both Audrey and Nicole's faces.
Nicole sat on her bed and sighed. "Do you realize this is the last time that we'll see each other, like this, like everything's normal? Then we'll be off at college going our separate ways. I don't think I'm ready. Then again it beats another year in absolute hell doesn't it?"
Audrey laughed, "Yeah I guess so. But once you leave this place you'll be destined to find another absolute hell and forget all about this one. Cheer up. Tomorrow's graduation and tonight is the big senior party!" Nicole gave an exasperated sigh.
"Nicole you are going?" Nicole just shook her head. "Is there a point in me going? Since last year I've been either invisible or avoided like the plague."
Audrey was visibly irritated. "Nic, you've let whatever happened effect you too much. Honestly I thought it was a phase but a whole year is kind of over doing it don't you think? Could you just spend the last night of your high school years being the normal Nicole? The Nicole everyone used to know? I still see her. There's no point in fighting it so much. I don't understand why..."
Tears began to form in Nicole's eyes and she stood up from her sitting position on the bed. "You're right Audrey you don't understand and I don't think you ever will. But I am after all the best actress in school. I can pull it off for one night right?" Nicole grabbed her jacket and exited the room and into the dorm hallway.
**Later that night**
Nicole walked to the recreation hall around 11 that night dressed in a white tank top, a jean mini skirt and black knee high boots. Hopefully the rooms will be too full for anyone to notice me Nicole hoped as she walked up the wooden stair case and into the enormous building. She passed by four guys smoking in the entrance and received a few blank stares and she reached further into the corridor she could smell alcohol. "Figures, someone will always bring booze" she thought out loud. She could hear the music playing louder and louder as she reached the "party room". She opened the door to the room and nearly froze when she saw basically everyone in the senior class as well as some juniors crowded inside of it. Or maybe too many people will recognize me. It's always my luck that I'm not invisible when I really want to be.
Nicole entered the room trying to be as inconspicuous as possible and moved toward the space close to the punch bowl. She swore she'd be safe there until she could spot Audrey.
Kevin had been dancing in the middle of the dance floor with his girl friend Heather until he was interrupted by his friend Mike who was the DJ. Mike pulled Kev away from Heather much to her dismay and off the dance floor/ Mike whispered into his ear, "Yo Kev, Nicole Cena is here standing against the wall." Kev looked shocked and then began to laugh. "Stop shitting me Mike. There's no way in hell she'd ever show up here. Why do a complete one-eighty and show up?"
"I shit you not Kev man. She's against the wall by the punch." Kevin craned his neck and searched through the crowd and was shocked to find Nicole standing against the wall as his friend had said. He was tempted to let his jaw drop but instead his lips curled into a sly smile. "Keep Heather distracted while I reacquaint myself with Miss Nicole would you?" Mike nodded and watched Kevin stalk toward his pray who didn't know what was about to befall her.
Kevin continued to stalk toward his prey, making his way through the seeming hundreds of people that crowded the dance floor. He stared at her through his deep brown willing her not to move. He was not even twenty feet away from his target when they locked eyes. He held her gaze for a moment until her doe-like orbs widened like a deer in headlights. She quickly turned her gaze away in panic and searched for a way to escape. She couldn't go through the crowd because he would be able to catch her and she wouldn't be able to go out the front. A group of his friends were crowded around the entrance playing some stupid game probably drunk. She took her chances and ducked into the crowd trying to find some means of escape. She spotted a door but she was quite unsure of where it led. Anywhere's better than here she thought and push her way through the crowd looking over her should with no Kevin in sight.
Kevin was careful to duck behind a couple of people in order to keep Nicole from spotting him. There's no way you can get away from me Nikki babe Kevin thought that same smile placed upon his face. He watched Nicole look over her shoulder hesitantly and move toward a door at the other side of the room. Kevin's smile grew wider if possible and he made his way through the crowd pushing and shoving people in the way of his prize.
Nicole walked for what seemed like forever down a long narrow corridor until she reached a dead end.
"Great," Nicole sighed and froze when she heard footsteps behind her.
"I couldn't agree more," a familiar voice said sending a chill up her spine. "It's good to see you Nicole. I see you've done a complete change haven't you? I'm tempted to ask why. I mean, it doesn't do much good now does it? But it does remind me of old times. What about you Nikki?" Nicole turned around and faced the owner of the voice with a look of hatred in her eyes.
"What did you call me?" she asked her tone low her hand visibly shaking.
"What's the matter Nikki? Did I strike a nerve?" Kevin reached out and touched her shaking arm which caused her to jump back as if she had been burned.
"You have no right to call me that Kevin," Nicole said now on the verge of having tears in her eyes.
"On the contrary Nikki, you're mine and you always will be."
************************************************************************
Nicole woke up for the third time that week screaming. She emerged from her bed around three o' clock that morning as she had for many mornings before; bed in disarray, brow covered in sweat, and the vivid images of that night still in her head. She climbed out of her bed and walked to her bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror her now blonde hair tossed in every direction and her eyes blood shot. She reached into the medicine cabinet and reached for the Tylenol PM, one of the many sleep aids she had been using to put herself to sleep for the past week. She dabbed her face with water a few times and gazed at her reflection once more in the mirror before returning to her bedroom. She stared at the red numbers of her alarm clock for possibly what felt like eternity before falling asleep again with the taste of her tears on her pillow.

AN: / Nothing like inner torment to kick off a story huh? WHY did I decide to open this way? Well because it seems to fit here and I don't really want to randomly throw in conflict without setting the stage for it. This also helps me get the feel for my character a lot more and I thoroughly enjoyed writing my longest chapter ever written in my history in one sitting without a break (6 hours). So if you'd be so kind to hit the review button and tell me what you think it will be MUCH appreciated! I'll intro Randy NEXT chapter I promise!
Love,
Iccess
