Love & Tribulations – Chapter 24
AT NIKKI'S APARTMENT
Nikki sat in her big comfy chair in front of her window where the beaming rays of light shone through and lit up the room casting an angelic glow over someone who had sinned more than Satan himself. Nikki stared out the window at nothing. Thoughts were flooding her head. She hadn't slept that night not that Cena had noticed he was so drunk from his night with the boys that he'd passed out before the taxi had got them home. Nikki kept looking at Cena all through the night and every time she did the pain in her heart got that little bit more severe to the point where at 5:30am Nikki found herself curled up on the floor in agony. Nikki couldn't help but think of the possible outcomes of her conversation with Cena when she tells him about hers and Sean's night together. She kept thinking and hoping that Cena would forgive her and say it was a mistake and he could see her sincerity but as much as she hoped and prayed this was the outcome she was ready to lay money down that Cena would hate her and leave her to drown in her own poison.
A loud moan came from behind Nikki she looked over at an obviously hung over Cena who was scrunching his face up trying to block the light out by covering his eyes with his arm. Nikki stood up and closed the drapes and as the light turned into dark Cena lowered his arm his face still scrunched in pain from the blinding headache and piercing stomach pains as he felt everything he'd eaten bubble inside of him.
"I think I'm guna hurl"
"Good morning to you too" Nikki said with a smile as Cena sat up he gave a lazy smile at Nikki as he stumbled to his feet and through to the bathroom. Nikki ran to the bathroom door and spoke through the gap.
"How are you feeling?"
"Like I got smacked with the vodka bottle. How are you?"
"I've been better"
The bathroom door opened and the beautiful man through his pain and fighting his urge to throw up looked down at Nikki and took her in his arms and hugged her. Nikki gripped Cena so tight Cena moaned in pain.
"Not so tight. Not unless you want your breakfast from my guts"
"Sorry" Nikki loosened her grip but still held on scared she'd never get this opportunity again
"So what's wrong? Didn't you and Cj clear things up?"
"Yeah we did this isn't about me and her this is about us"
"Me and you us?"
"Yeah"
"What is it?" asked Cena as he pushed Nikki away and looked at her with concern. Nikki looked back at Cena and closed her eyes almost as if to block the tears but she failed and tears began to stream down her face. "Baby what's wrong?"
Nikki looked up at him and in her head said goodbye to the man before her knowing he wouldn't be hers once she'd said her piece. "I'm sorry" she said apologising for something Cena had no idea about. "I'm sorry" she repeated
"For what?"
"For being me, for being a let down, a disappointment, a whore" Cena pulled himself away from Nikki and looked intrigued "When we got back together and you wouldn't go to bed with me I was angry and upset. I thought you didn't want me and you were punishing me --"
"You slept with someone else?" he asked cutting her off
Nikki hung her head in shame giving Cena all the answers he needed. He pushed passed Nikki not saying a word he got some clothes out of the closet and got dressed. He looked back at Nikki who was just staring her cheeks stained with tears. Cena walked away to the door he opened it and rested his head against it before slamming it shut and storming back into the bedroom to Nikki.
"Who?"
"John please" Nikki pleaded
"WHO?!?"
"Sean" she barely got out through her tears
"Sean?" John stared at her his eyes burning holes in her flesh. "Why did you tell me?"
"Because you deserve to know. I wasn't guna"
"I wish you hadn't" John walked out of the room and out of the apartment the door slammed shut and Nikki crumbled to the ground just a pile of regret and tears
2 Months Later - WWE arrived back in NYC
AT A RESTAURANT
Sean and Khristina sat across from each other at the restaurant table. Sean stroking Khristina's hands softly on the table as Khristina glided her foot up and down Sean's leg underneath the table.
"So here's my idea..." Khristina began
"We go back to our room and –"
"Ah ah this is business. Pleasure comes later"
"You ever heard of mixing business with pleasure?"
"Yeah I was taught never to do it"
"Khristina come on you don't still wanna do this?"
"Are you backing out of our deal?"
"Khris—"
"Because I moved away from everything and everyone I love to come back to this God damn city to be able to pull this off"
"I'm not backing out it's just—"
"Just what?"
Sean didn't reply he was sure any reply he gave right now would be followed by a slap across the face or worse if her foot connected with the wrong place underneath the table.
"As I was saying, here's my idea. We need to get everyone together like I don't know a club or something after one of the shows. Then I'll keep Randy distracted while you move in on Cj"
"Cj doesn't want me"
"Don't cut me off, who said anything about Cj being stupid enough to fall for your charm? Our target is Randy"
"He loves Cj"
"No he loves women, why would a young beautiful man like that want to settle down especially with a girl like Cj?"
"Hey!"
"Sorry but you get where I'm going with this?"
"Yeah you seduce Randy, Cj finds out, end of relationship"
"Good boy!"
"Now can we go upstairs?" he begged hoping that the distraction would shut Khristina up
"No I need to eat otherwise I won't have the energy"
Sean smiled at Khristina and handed her a menu.
AT MARK AND FAITHS APARTMENT
"No way!" Faith screamed down the phone an intrigued Mark stood up and walked over to Faith. "That is amazing. Yes of course. Ok well thank you so much" A very excited Faith hung up and looked at Mark
"What was that about?"
"What?"
"The phone call"
"Oh that nothing"
"Don't lie to me"
A smile crept on Faith's face "Ok I'm getting my debut match"
"That's brilliant! Congratulations!!" Mark kissed Faith
"That's not the best bit my debut match is here, right here in New York City at Madison Square Garden. My debuts at the Garden"
"Are you kidding?"
"No"
Faith and Mark celebrated with a hug and a kiss. Mark suddenly pulled away.
"We've gotta have a party"
"What for?"
"You! You're debuting at MSG and on top of that my babies getting old"
"Old?" Faith smiled and playfully slapped Mark as his arms slid around her waist
"Yeah old"
"Nah you're old I'm just a distant memory of what youth looks like Grandpa"
Mark laughed and kissed Faith
FAITHS DEBUT
Faith stood in the ring, feeling a little nervous but tried not to show it as Trish made her way to the ring. Trish taunted the fans as she walked with confidence to the ring, a small smug grin on her face with the Women's Title over her shoulder.
Trish entered the ring and lifted the belt over her head at the fans as they continued to boo her. She handed the ref the belt and suddenly went for Faith. A few blows to the head and Faith was sent into the corner. Trish quickly moved in and grabbed Faith by the hair and snapmared her over her shoulder. Faith sat up cradling her head and Trish walked up behind her and slapped her hard across the back of her head and neck.
Trish then dragged Faith back up and whipped her into the ropes; Faith came back and ducked a clothesline, put on the brakes and clotheslined Trish from behind. She then began to stomp away on the Women's Champion, the crowd cheering her on. She then grabbed Trish and lifted her by her hair and swung her by it and sending Trish crashing down onto the mat.
Faith didn't stop though; she once again got Trish up to a vertical base and shoved her into a corner, giving her a couple of knife edge chops to the chest, the crowd WOOOOOing with every one. Faith then whipped Trish into the opposite corner, as Trish stumbled out Faith ran and caught Trish with a hurricanrana and went for the pin.
1....
2....
Kick out!
Faith and the fans in attendance thought she had it as Faith slaps the mat in frustration. But Faith didn't give in. She dropped a couple of elbows on Trish and began to take control. She quickly lifted Trish up and snap suplexed her. Faith wasn't going to let Trish lie as she once again lifted her and whipped Trish into the ropes and caught her on the way back with a perfect dropkick which sent Trish tumbling back into the ropes.
Faith didn't waste any time in getting Trish on her feet and delivered a few more knife edge chops. Faith then whipped Trish into the far corner and ran in for a clothesline, but Trish dodged and pushed Faiths head down, causing her to collide shoulder first with the steel ring post. Trish grabbed Faith by 'wounded wing' and gave her a stinging harsh wristlock. Working on the arm of Faith, Trish was relentless; her experience over Faith was starting to show through.
Trish put Faith into a hammerlock and shoved her shoulder first into the turnbuckles. Faith cradled her shoulder and Trish grabbed her with a headlock, raised her hand and sent Faith down with The Stratusfaction. Faith landed on her injured arm and held it as Trish lay over her hooking her leg for the One, Two, and Three!
Trish had successfully defended her title and ripped the belt from the ref as he handed it to her. She looked down at Faith and yelled at her, pointing to the title. Just as Trish was about to leave she stopped and went back to Faith who was just getting to her feet with help from the referee. Trish grabbed Faith and went for the arm. But Faith managed to stop her and catch Trish in the side of the head with a couple of shots with her good arm.
Trish stumbled back and Faith whipped Trish once more into the ropes, Faith then ran forward and caught Trish in a hurricanrana which made Trish spill into the ropes and was hanging half in and half out. Trish then began to crawl out of the ring but Faith grabbed her by her top and began to pull. Such was the force of both divas, Faith ripped Trish's top off as they both pulled in their own directions. Trish stood up and realised what happened, standing there in her wrestling pants and black push up bra, quickly grabbed the title from ringside and ran up the ramp, doing her best to cover herself with her arms and the belt.
Faith stood in the ring, smiling as she swung the remains of Trish's top in her hands while still cradling her other arm close to her.
THE PARTY
Mark and Faiths apartment was invaded by the whole WWE staff and friends all there to celebrate Faiths birthday and amazing in ring debut. As people approached her and congratulated her and passed on their birthday wishes she caught an unpleasant image out the corner of her eye as if Sean's presence wasn't bad enough after what he'd done to both Cj and Nikki's relationships on his arm was the black sheep of her family and the reason she told people she was an only child. Khristina walked in her head held high as if she'd done nothing wrong and was welcome in their home and her skirt cut so short you could see her indignity. The sisters linked eyes but Khristina soon pulled Sean away and walked into the crowd of people
"Don't let her get to you" said Mark kissing Faith and walking away to get drinks
Later...
"This is a perfect place to put our plan into action"
"Tonight?"
"Yes!"
"Here? I work with all these people Khristina"
"You're not backing out now, go talk to Cj she's there look all alone. I'll go find Randy and once it's done it's done and you will be one very happy man"
Sean was sent to Cj against his will and better judgment.
Later...
Sean had walked over to find a troubled Cj and was patiently and contently listening to her.
"They're just so good together and it breaks my heart because everyone knows it, even they know it. And even though I wasn't there when you two you know and trust me if I had of been this problem wouldn't have occurred I feel that it's my fault" said Cj in one breath
"Your fault? Like you said you weren't there. It was mine and Nikki's fault you had nothing to do with it"
"I told her to tell him"
"It was the right thing to do"
"You think?"
"I know if we hadn't been so obvious you would have told Randy right?"
"I don't know"
"You would have because it was the right thing to do. You're not a bad person Cj in fact you're the sweetest most honest person I know"
Cj burst into laughter "Then you need to get out there and meet people because I'm not that nice"
"Stop bringing yourself down. You wouldn't do anything to hurt anybody"
"I slept with you to get back at Randy"
"To get back at him. You were reacting to your feelings he hurt you"
"Do you have an excuse for everything?"
"Yes!" he replied with a cheeky grin
"Ok when I was sixteen we had a dog, cute little thing called Twister it peed on my favourite shirt so I tied it the backyard it sat about nine inches high I left him for two hours in twenty inches of snow. He was almost dead when we brought him back in. What excuse ya got for that?"
"You're deranged and mean?"
Cj pouted and playfully punched Sean "It was my favourite shirt"
"IT WAS SNOWING!!"
"It was a rat!!"
"It was a dog" Sean laughed "So I guess this means you're not an animal lover"
"Not really"
"The dog survived though?"
"Yeah for 5 more years"
"Well then we'll put it down to inexperience and never buy you a dog"
The two laughed and soon Randy approached Cj putting his arm around her and staring daggers at Sean.
"Baby can I talk to you?" asked Randy
"Sure" said Cj standing up she leaned over to Sean "Don't tell anyone"
"I swear" Cj laughed and walked away with Randy who led her outside.
"What was that about?"
"What?"
"You and him?"
"We were just talking"
"That looked like more than talking to me"
"Oh yeah sorry we were laughing too. God forbid"
"Don't joke with me. I don't like seeing you and him together"
"Randy we're just fri—"
"Friends! I know but that doesn't make me feel any better. You were less than that when you slept with him"
Cj stood in lockjaw and stared at Randy she couldn't believe that after everything they'd gone through he still didn't trust her. "You don't trust me?"
"Apparently it runs in your family. You sleep with Sean then Nikki!"
"Whoa!! You do have selective memory don't you? The way I remember things you went after that little whore before I even thought about Sean in that way. You pushed me to Sean you did it and I am getting sick of apologising for something that wouldn't have happened if you trusted me in the first place. Randy I'm not stopping seeing my male friends gay or straight just because you don't trust me in the same room with another penis. Randy I love you and maybe I'm crazy for doing so but I do and I would never cheat on you. Sleeping with Sean as far as I'm concerned was a HUGE mistake but if you can't leave it in the past then we have no future together. It's in your hands now"
Cj walked down the street and Randy stayed on the spot he knew Cj well enough by now and he knew following her would only make things worse he needed to give her space. Randy sat down on the stoop and cupped his head in his hands and thought about what Cj had just said. She was right Randy didn't trust her, but he didn't know why because he knew she wouldn't hurt him for no reason. Randy shook his head and stood up he walked slowly down the street in the opposite direction to Cj to walk with his thoughts.
UPSTAIRS AT THE PARTY
Nikki leant against the kitchen counter with a Martini in her hand as she examined the room wondering to herself where John could be. Nikki finally decided to ask someone and stood up straight and with the room spinning she stumbled over to her brother who was holding the vodka bottle in his hand. Nikki sipped the remainder of her drink and gestured for a top up.
"No you've had way too much"
"I'm fine I just want a drink"
"Drinking isn't going to help"
"Help what?"
"Bring him back"
"Who?"
"John"
"Oh John! And where is he tonight?"
"Avoiding you"
Those two words jolted Nikki out of her drunken state of mind and she looked at her brother her eyes almost begging him to catch her.
"Hey you ok?"
"He's avoiding me?"
"He didn't think coming here tonight would help so he went straight back to Massachusetts"
"He hates me!"
Tears ran down Nikki's face
"Nik –"said a sympathetic Mark ready to console his baby sister. Nikki pulled away from the comfort and pulled the vodka out of Marks hand and walked away with it. Nikki stopped in her tracks as she saw Khristina drag Sean into the bedroom. She hated him for being able to get on with his life after Nikki being with him destroyed hers.
A Little While Later...
Nikki was sat on the roof clutching her glass in one hand and the bottle of vodka in the other. She sat on the gravel top with pebbles wedged in uncomfortable places as she tried to stay sat up leaning against the wall and attempting to pour a drink.
The roof door opens and a huge shadow is cast on the ground.
"Hey"
Nikki looked up and saw the man staring down at her.
"What do you want?" she said continuing to pour herself a drink, in a fashion.
"I came to see if you were ok" said Dave Batista sitting down next to Nikki and helping her pour her drink.
"I'm hunky-dory, absol-tistically, fantabulous"
"Good! You're a liar but good"
"Thank you"
The uncomfortable duo sat next to each other in silence that seemed to be never ending. But then Nikki broke the silence.
"Thought you hated me?"
"Never hated you just couldn't handle the temptation. I wanted to be loyal to my wife I didn't wanna be the reason why my daughters worlds fell apart"
"Sorry!"
"Don't be! I'm as much to blame as you. Anyway I didn't break their world up, their mother did"
"What?"
"She's filing for divorce because she's got another guy"
"You're kidding?"
"No you know the guy I told ya she'd cheated on me with?"
"Him?"
"No his brother"
Nikki burst into laughter she suddenly saw the expression on Dave's face and controlled herself "Oh sorry, sorry, sorry. But you have to admit that's a little comical"
"Hilarious" Dave sarcastically added
"So you're single again?"
"Yep and so are you?"
"You heard?"
"I've heard nothing. I've seen John he's broken hearted that's obvious. What did you do?"
"Sean"
"You did Sean?"
"Yeah, in my defence we weren't dating. We'd just got back together and he wanted to date me not fuck me so technically"
"Don't technically me; I've been under your spell remember. So you're single, I'm single there's nothing stopping us" Dave stroked Nikki's face as she fell into his touch and closed her eyes indulging in the touch of not just Dave but of a man. She'd longed for this since John pulled away from her two months ago. "What do you say?"
Nikki opened her eyes and looked at Dave she wanted nothing more than to feel him against her, feel his flesh against hers, his lips against her body and a repeat of their night together. But she knew by sleeping with him she'd just be pushing Cena further away. She took her two tiny hands and pulled his masculine hand away from her cheek her two hands barely covering his. She smiled at Dave and shook her head.
"I love John, I can't do this"
Nikki once again jolted out her drunken state stood up effortlessly and walked away from a man she'd desired in hope that this act of self restraint would bring Cena back to her.
BACK AT THE PARTY
Faith no longer the centre of attention found herself standing alone in the corner of the room at her own party. She scanned the room for signs of Mark but couldn't see him anywhere. She then saw Sean stood alone by alone, not with Khristina, Faith jumped to the only possible conclusion and pushed through the crowd of people and pushed open her bedroom door to find Khristina in only her underwear mounted on top of Mark kissing him. Faith slammed the door shut and Mark and Khristina jumped out of their skin as Faith turned on the light. Mark looked at Khristina
"What the hell?" he said looking at Khristina
"What is going on here?" asked a furious Faith
"Baby I swear –"
"We were just playing. I was giving Mark what he wanted"
Faith filled with rage took her sister by the hair and threw her out the bedroom into the main room where everyone stopped and looked at the half naked female.
"GET OUT!!" Faith screamed to no avail "I said GET OUT!! GET THE HELL OUT MY APARTMENT NOW!!" everyone listened this time and ran for the door. Sean helped Khristina to her feet "If I ever see you again I will kill you. Now get out of here and out of my life"
Khristina and Sean walked away Sean wrapping his coat around her. Faith could feel Mark behind her but she didn't want to see him.
"Baby it's not what it looks like"
"It looked like you were naked on our bed kissing my half naked sister. Have I stumbled yet?" she snapped
"I thought she was you"
Even though she didn't want to see him she had to look at his face to see if he was for real.
"You thought she was me?"
"Yes!"
"How many times have we been in bed together? How many times have you touched me? Did she feel like me?"
"I don't know"
"Then you don't know me because I would never make that mistake. I would know the second someone other than you entered the room. Your touch, your skin, your body, your hair, your features, your scent I know it all and would never mistake that for anything else"
Faith stormed towards the door Mark soon behind her "Baby don't go let's talk about this"
"What is there to talk about?"
"Us!"
"Us? You don't even know who we are"
"I made a mistake"
"No you didn't you made everything perfectly clear. You don't know me after all this time you don't know anything about me"
"Yes I do"
"If that's true then I don't know what's worse that you don't know me or the alternative, that you knew it was her"
"I'm sorry"
"No don't, just don't say that. It means nothing you don't even know what you're saying sorry for" A longing silence filled the air while Faith caught her breath
"I'm going! I don't know where and wherever it is I don't want you to come and find me. I'll send someone over to get my stuff"
"You're ending it because I was kissing her? Even if I had known it was her which I didn't it was just a kiss"
"JUST A KISS? IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!! I don't want my boyfriend JUST kissing another girl whether it was my sister or not and let me tell you it being my sister just makes it worse. How would you like it if I just kissed another guy, or if another guy came into a dark room and I just slept with him because I thought it was you?" Mark opened his mouth to reply "Don't say another word Mark because the next one I will slap you for"
Faith stormed out of the room and Mark's temper flared as he threw a vase at the wall knocking over a picture of him and Faith he heard the glass shatter and walked over to the picture he picked it up and looked at the shattered glass.
"Shit!"
Mark descended down the wall looking at the picture he pulled the back open and pulled out the picture and sat staring at it regretting his actions.
Faith opened the building door and Dave who was sat at the bottom of the stoop looked up at her teary eyes.
"Hey you ok?" he asked so kindly
"No! I'm not!" Faiths brave face broke and tears streamed down her face. Dave stood up and walked to the top of the stoop and held her in his arms
"Shhh hey come on stop crying. Tell me what's wrong"
"Men!"
"Oh"
"No not men because that's not fair on the few nice guys like you, not men just MARK!"
"What happened?"
"I don't want to talk about it" Faith looked at the Mascara smeared on Dave's shirt "I'm sorry"
"It's ok it'll wash out"
"I must look like the bride of Frankenstein"
"You look beautiful" Faith smiled at the compliment and looked deep into Dave's eyes. She couldn't explain why but she felt very drawn to Dave and pulled at his collar drawing him closer to her lips. They locked lips and kissed with immense pressure. Faith suddenly stopped and stepped away from Dave.
"I'm sorry, you're married! I'm screwed up"
"It's ok you did nothing wrong"
"Your wife"
"Is filing for divorce"
A stunned Faith realised she wasn't the only one with problems she looked at Dave and apologised "Sorry"
"Don't be it's an escape we weren't happy"
"I thought me and Mark were but Khristina"
"Is a handful" Faith nodded "So where you going?"
"I don't know"
"Where do you usually go?"
"Cj's but she's got Randy why should their night be ruined because her brothers an asshole?"
"So stay with me"
"What?"
"Two beds I promise, I came in with Cena but he went home"
"That's so sweet of you"
"That a yes?"
Faith nodded her head and they walked down the stoop and Dave tried to hail a taxi but failed Faith wiped her sore eyes and stepped out and hailed with perfection the perfect yellow taxi.
"Helps to show a little leg" said Faith with a smile
"I'll remember that next time"
Faith giggled as Dave opened the door and she climbed inside the taxi with Dave behind her. The taxi pulled away to take them to the hotel as Mark looked on from his apartment as he watched his girlfriend slip away.
