Love & Tribulations – Chapter 21

BACK IN NEW YORK CITY – 2 WEEKS LATER

Cena arrived at Nikki's door and waited for her to answer. Nikki opened the door and stepped back a little shocked by Cena's appearance.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm waving the white flag"

"What?"

"I surrender. I'm obviously never guna win an argument between us so I'm surrendering"

Nikki smiled "You're nuts!"

"Maybe"

"No maybe about it"

"So are we friends again?"

Nikki was still feeling guilty about her and Sean and more than anything wanted to tell Cena but while he was away she kept playing the conversation in her head and she decided Cj was right what he doesn't know won't hurt him. But if Nikki tells him they'll both be hurting over something that she regrets and will never repeat.

"Yeah we're friends. And I'm sorry"

"About what?"

Nikki wanted to apologise to him for Sean but covered herself "For being me, I know I'm a pain in the ass. People are always telling me. And I know I am. It's just hard to change but I want to"

"I know you do but I'm not helping. I snap back every time we fight and I don't mean it. In fact I came here to apologise in my own way"

"What do you mean? What have you done wrong?"

"I told you I wanted nothing more than sex from you and expected you to be ok with that. Bad Johnny! I told you I didn't trust you. Bad bad Johnny! I keep sending you these mixed signals. Bad bad bad Johnny! And the truth is gorgeous I wanna be with you and I want to be way more than just sex. I mean I want a lot of sex with ya but I want more than that. And to apologise for all those mixed signals and all these arguments which I realise now I started I wanna make the ultimate gesture that I can right now"

Nikki scrunched her face in confusion "Okay" she said sceptically

"Nikki I want us to move in together"

"Move in together?"

"Yeah so what do you think?"

"You want to move in with me?"

"Yeah that's what I meant by together"

"And make this official?"

"Yeah"

"You're not kidding me are you? This isn't some cruel vicious joke to get back at me for being such a bitch?"

Cena smiled and took Nikki's hands in his "This isn't a joke I wanted to show you how much you mean to me and how much I wanna make this work. So?"

"Okay, let's do it" Nikki smiled and Cena pulled her in for a kiss. He picked her up and swung her around and then carried her into the bedroom kicking the door shut behind him.

AT MARK & FAITHS APARTMENT

Mark and Faith along with Khristina arrived back at the apartment. Mark opened the door and Khristina pushed her way in. She looked around the room and then examined the two bedrooms. She came back out and sat down on the sofa.

"Nice"

Faith smiled knowing she couldn't possibly find a flaw in their perfect new apartment.

"So I'll be sleeping in the room with the children's toys I suppose?"

"Actually you'll be sleeping where you are" Faith added with a sly smile knowing her sister would not approve

"Are you kidding me?"

"No, Marks son's guna be coming over and the room with the children's toys is his room"

"You have a kid?"

"Yep"

"What's the deal with the Mommy?"

"What do you mean?"

"Was the kid a mistake?"

"Hey!"

"Woah baby...pretend remember? Smile!" Faith whispered calming Mark

"Actually Mark was married when Marcus was born but Marks divorced now"

"A divorcee?"

"Better than a married man don't ya think?" Faith smiled at the snide jab as an unhappy Khristina sat on her bed, better known as the sofa.

LATER...

Khristina was in the shower while Mark was making himself a sandwich in the kitchen as Faith slept in the bedroom. Mark cut his sandwich and turned with it in his mouth. His jaw dropped open and the sandwich fell to the floor as he got an eye full of a naked Khristina who was leaning over her suitcase searching for clothes. She retrieved a red bra and matching panties and laid them on the arm of the sofa. Mark was stood in lock jaw not sure where to look. He knew he shouldn't be looking at Khristina but Faith wasn't in the room and what was the harm in looking? Khristina continued to rummage through her suitcase and without turning she spoke to an admiring Mark

"Getting a good eye full there are you Mark?"

Khristina turned with the towel wrapped around her waist her bare breasts hanging out. Mark started to anxiously bounce around on the spot then bent over to pick his sandwich up while he turned seven shades of red behind the kitchen counter. He finally composed himself and stood up and looked at Khristina making sure it was nothing more than eye contact.

"I wasn't looking didn't even see you come into the room"

"I believe ya Mark millions wouldn't"

Mark threw the sandwich away and walked out of the kitchen and stood with his hands on his hips looking around the room frantically trying not to make eye contact with Khristina who was struggling with her bra.

"I'm guna go and err—"

"Dammit!" said a frustrated Khristina

"You ok?" asked Mark

"I can't get his hooked up, I really should throw this bra out the clasps are broken but it's such a sexy set don't ya agree?"

"It – it-- it's ok"

"Could you help me otherwise I'm guna be stood here all day"

Mark slowly edged his way closer to Khristina and helped her with the clasp. Khristina pulled her panties off the sofa arm and bent over to begin to put them on. She bent over in front of Mark making it difficult for him to hook the bra. Mark was leaning over as far as he could without moving in closer to Khristina.

"Are you having any luck?"

Just then a sleepy eyed Faith walked out the bedroom

"It's really hard"

"What is?" asked a furious Faith

Mark looked over and saw Faith stood at the bedroom door with her arms folded. He immediately let go of Khristina's bra and walked away from her stopping half way between the sisters.

"I was I was just just kinda I was helping her with her bra"

"Her bra?"

"The clasps are broken it's really hard, that's what's hard the clasp nothing else, just those"

Khristina smiled as Mark stuttered his case to Faith she fastened her bra and unwrapped her towel to reveal her matching panties. Mark looked at Khristina in her lingerie.

"Hey!" screamed Faith

Mark suddenly looked at Faith and then walked over to the kitchen counter and turned away as Khristina pulled on a pair of jeans and pulled a beater on and stood looking at her sister who was staring viciously at her.

"What?"

"You didn't seem to have a problem with your bra just then"

"Oh wow I didn't, wow I guess Mark has the magic touch. And err I wouldn't believe him about the clasps being the only hard thing. Anyway I have to go"

Khristina picked up her bag and left the couple alone.

"Are you seriously that stupid?"

"What?"

"Helping with the bra? Come on Mark it's the oldest trick in the book"

"Yeah well what was she doing changing in here anyway?"

"Enticing you, you idiot. And you fell for it"

Faith stormed into the bedroom slamming the door behind her. Mark leaned over and began to bang his head on the kitchen counter before walking to the bedroom door.

"Come on Faith, I didn't do anything, I was innocently helping her, I'm naïve come on!"

Suddenly the door opened and Faith threw pillows and a blanket at Mark

"Where am I supposed to sleep? She's on the sofa"

"Try your mothers!" screamed Faith slamming the door in his face

LATER - AT A RESTAURANT

Khristina walked into the restaurant and smiled as she saw Sean she walked over and Sean pulled out her chair for her.

"I thought this wasn't a date?" asked Khristina

"It isn't"

"Then you don't have to be such a gentleman"

"Only when it suits you right?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well I'm guessing your stripper money isn't going to be paying for this meal"

"No my stripper money will be going on new clothes"

"And plenty of sexy stripper lingerie?"

"Oh yeah maybe you can come with me and give me your male opinion"

"I'd love to"

"Good we'll go after lunch"

"Ok I guess I was guna go and see someone but it'll wait"

"Someone being Cj?"

"No"

"You're a liar"

"Am I?" he asked leaning forward and looking into her eyes

"Ok if not Cj then who?"

"I can't tell ya, you'll have to use your gift"

"I know it's someone you shouldn't be visiting"

"How'd you know that?"

"Because of that devilish look on your face"

Sean laughed and a wide smile remained on his face "You're amazing"

"Thank you. Does that mean I'm right?"

"Pretty much"

"About everything?"

"About me visiting someone I shouldn't?"

"About you and Cj"

"There is no me and Cj"

"But you do want her? Come on Sean it's not going any further"

Sean looked at Khristina and knew she'd hold this against him to get her own way but he needed to talk to someone.

"I love her"

"Love? You love her?" Khristina started laughing

"Ok I knew I shouldn't have told you" Sean picked his jacket and stood up Khristina grabbed his hand and pulled him down

"I'm sorry please sit down"

Sean sat back down and placed his coat over the back of the chair "No more laughing"

"Ok I'm sorry it's just I wasn't expecting you to say that. You don't look like a love kinda guy"

"Out of curiosity what do I look like?"

"A love and leave em kinda guy"

"A man whore?"

"If that's what they're calling them these days" Khristina smiled

"Thanks"

"Love? That's serious. How can you love her?"

"What do you mean how?"

"Well she's I duno, well I guess she's pretty"

"She's gorgeous, in everyway she's a beautiful person"

"Okay you're freaking me out. Have you ever told her this?"

"No I thought I was in when we slept together but she's so in love with Randy I can't even compete"

"Can't? That's very negative of you Sean. You can accomplish anything you want. You just gotta work for it"

"She's not a Christmas Bonus"

"No she's a woman infatuated with a cutie"

Sean looked at Khristina a little confused "Where are you going with this?"

"It's a known fact that cuties like him get a lot of female attention especially if they're famous, he is famous right?" Sean nodded "Well all it takes is a little body, a lot of bare flesh, a push up bra and he's hooked and ready to be reeled in"

"So you're saying?"

"Oh no wonder you don't get what you want, you don't have a clue. The only way to get to her is to knock him out the picture correct?"

"I guess"

"All you have to do to get him outta there is to send in a hot blooded female"

"What if he doesn't bite?"

"Would you say no to this?" said Khristina leaning back in her chair giving Sean an eye full

"Oh no I wouldn't say no to that" Khristina smiled and winked at Sean "So you're offering your services to me then?"

"Yeah but there's a fee"

"What's that?"

"Poor little me I'm sleeping on a really uncomfortable sofa now if you could offer me a place to sleep and someone to sleep with then maybe just maybe I can help ya"

"The fee is for me to sleep with you?"

"Yeah how ya fixed?"

"You drive a hard bargain but I think I can handle that"

"Oh good I'm so glad"

Sean smiled "So when will I have to pay this fee?"

"Not just yet I have something to do in fact let's put off the shopping spree until tomorrow"

Khristina stood up and picked up her bag "Where are you going?"

"I have something to do?"

"We haven't even ordered yet"

"The more time we waste in here the less time we get in the bedroom"

"Hey if you've gotta go, you've gotta go"

Khristina smiled and kissed Sean hard on the lips before leaving.

BACK AT MARK & FAITHS APARTMENT

Khristina walked into the apartment with a coffee in her hand to find Mark sat on the sofa with a blanket and some pillows piled into the chair next to him.

"Lovers tiff?" Khristina said with a self satisfied smile

"No!"

"Oh you're choosing to sleep out here on the sofa...with me?"

"I'm not sleeping on the sofa"

"Hey you can if you want I don't mind. Could use some big strong arms to hold me in the night"

"Good luck with finding some"

"You mean I can't borrow you?"

"No I only plan on holding Faith"

"Don't think she's planning the same thing" Khristina laughed

"Is this funny to you?" asked an infuriated Mark

"Not the situation sweetheart just the way Faith kicked off. It was innocent, you were just helping me"

"Yeah and you started winding her up making her believe it was more than it was"

"It was a little fun"

"It caused a lot of trouble"

"Ok I'm sorry it's just sisterly bonding"

"Bonding?"

"Ok sisterly teasing. It could be why she doesn't like me"

"You think?"

"I can't help that's she's wound up so tight"

"She isn't usually it's only since she saw you in California that she's been this way. And you 'teasing' her like that isn't helping things"

Khristina walked over to Mark and looked in his eyes with total sincerity "Ok I'll apologise and set the record straight if that will help things"

"Yes it will. Thank you! Faith come out here someone wants to speak to you"

Khristina waited for Faith to come out the room and impatiently turned to Mark who was simultaneously turning to her. They collided and Khristina's coffee spilt all over Marks shirt. Khristina stood in shock looking at his coffee soaked shirt.

"I am so sorry"

"No it was my fault"

"Ok take your shirt off I'll get some club soda and a towel to dry yourself"

"Thanks" said Mark as Khristina walked into the kitchen and retrieved the club soda and a towel. She ran back over to Mark who had stripped himself of his shirt. His skin was red with soreness from the scalding hot coffee.

"Oh look at that" said Khristina patting Marks damp skin gently trying not to irritate the sore skin. "It looks painful"

"It feels it, it'll cool down"

"Aww I feel so bad let me kiss it better" as the words left her mouth Faith walked out the bedroom to see what all the commotion was about just in time to see Khristina kissing Mark's bare chest.

"What the hell!!" screamed Faith at the top of her lungs, Mark and Khristina turned to Faith

"Faithy this isn't what it looks like"

"Oh no then what is it Khristina?!"

"Er – I spilt my coffee on his shirt" Mark held the shirt up as proof "I was drying his chest"

"With your lips?"

"I was just kissing it better, you know like Grandma did"

"She stopped kissing things better when we hit 10. I think Marks past the kissing it better stage. And don't try to pretend to me that this was an accident"

"It was an accident"

"Yeah Faith it was I bumped into her it's my fault"

"And you're incapable of towel drying your own skin? You had to have Nurse Skank dry you up?"

"I—I –Well –I"

"Mark did you know you stutter when you're guilty of something?"

"I'll just take your shirt and try getting that stain out" said Khristina taking the shirt from Mark

"No I will" said Faith walking over and grabbing the shirt

"I got it"

"I'll do it"

"Sis it's my coffee, my fault"

"I thought it was Mark's fault?"

"Oh come on Faith I'm just trying to help get the stain out it's not like Marks in it"

"I'll do it!!" demanded Faith pulling the shirt out of Khristina's grasp causing the open bottle of Club Soda to splash over Faith's clothes. Khristina covered her mouth almost trying to stop herself from laughing but a smile crept on her face.

"You think this is funny?" asked a furious Faith

"Hilarious!"

"Get out!" Faith said pushing her sister out of the apartment slamming the door in her face. She walked back over to Mark threw the shirt in his face and returned to the bedroom slamming the door in his face.

"Oh come on! Faith you're blowing this up into something big and it's nothing. Baby come on! It was an accident"

The bedroom door opened and Faith walked out pulling on a new shirt and throwing her soda soaked one at Mark

"Accident? You accidentally took off your shirt and accidentally stood there while she towel dried you and kissed you chest. Accident? Who are you trying to kid? I'm going out and I either want her or you gone by the time I get back"

Faith stormed out the apartment and left Mark with a handful of laundry and a head full of problems.
