Ch3: 1st Impressions...No Wait...2nd??

"Nicole?" Hunter couldn't believe it was her.

"Hunter!" she exclaimed.

Hunter stood up, still not believing it was the same girl he once knew, and walked over to Nicole. He stood there scrutinizing her as she did the same to him. She looked very different to the girl he remembered. The Nicole he knew had short, choppy, dirty blonde hair, she was a bit shorter, and a little bigger in the hips. She obviously had grown up during the past 4 years. But one thing that stayed the same was those eyes: those clear blue eyes, that he could spot anywhere. They stood there for a moment, still not knowing what to say, until he decided to break the ice.

He reached out and ran his fingers through a portion of her hair, "You changed your hair color" he paused still not knowing what to say, "and you let it grow."

She pulled away from him, "Ya I did, but I can see you haven't changed much."

Nicole looked over at the two men sitting at the table. They had been watching the whole ordeal without saying a word. She focused in on the man who had called out to her, 'I guess this is must be Orton' she thought remembering what Lita had told her. She walked over to him, standing right between his legs, until she was merely an inch from him. He tried to stand up, but she pushed him right back down into his seat. She smiled, cocked her head, and bit her lip seductively. She lowered herself onto his lap, per his request, making sure that most of her weight was on his manhood.

She again, bit her lip, and smiled, "I don't know who you think you are, but I am not some ring rat that you can charm into sleeping with you, or whatever else you might have in mind. Those whores might buy whatever cheap line you throw at them, but you sure as hell better believe that I won't. Now, if you keep that in mind, I think we can get along just fine. But if you don't, then you'll have problems." She smiled, got up, and walked back over to Hunter, as Randy and Dave looked over at each other, and stood up as well.

"Should' a known you'd be a part of Evolution Hunter. Its right down your alley isn't it: lying, cheating; its what you do best. I can't believe I just let it slip me like that. So do you tell them what to do, or do they act on their own free will?" she asked.

"HA. Very funny Nikki. Yes they act on their own free will, I don't nor do I want to control them..." but Hunter was cut off.

"But you are the leader, I'm supposing you are. I know how you hate being in the shadows of someone else" she teased him.

He knew she was referring to Shawn Micheals. He had played second fiddle when he and Shawn were in DX together, and she knew how much he hated that. She was very clever, always playing up to the parts of his life that he hated most, and it made his blood boil. They had never been the best of friends. Actually, it was quite the opposite; they never really liked each other at all. Hunter knew it, Nicole knew it; everyone knew it. But, while he was in DX and best friends with Shawn, Nicole had begun to date Shawn. So, for his sake they pretended to be friends, all the while knowing they couldn't stand each other. But now there was no Shawn to please, and they didn't have to pretend. Both their relationships with Shawn had gone sour, and they had both tried to cut off all ties with him. Nicole had succeeded, while Hunter had at least tried.

He smirked, "So how's Shawn?" he knew that this simple, yet disdainful remark would send her off the edge. And he just loved to push her buttons and see how far he could get before she slapped him.

Her face became serious, and her eyes like stone with the slightest mention of her past relationship with HBK. "You know very well, that Shawn and I do not interact, or communicate in any way Hunter". She paused as she became quite enraged with him, then "Why do you always bring him up? You're a complete jerk you know that. All you think about is yourself. Who cares about what other people think. As long as you get an ego boost its okay, right. God, Adam and Chris were right about you, you are a pompous asshole. And so are the rest of you" she gestured towards Randy, and Dave.

Hunter was amused, to say the least. He had gotten her right where he wanted her; she was frustrated, and was about to lose her temper. "Aw, come on Nicole. Where is all this coming from. I thought we were friends, and friends don't hurt each others feeling like that," he said coolly.

"Right, like you have FEELINGS Hunter. All you have is an ego to feed, and a penis so you can screw women with. I am sick and tired of always having the same fights with you. Why don't you just leave me alone, and we'll pretend we don't know each other."

By this time we had made quite a scene. Many of our fellow co-workers had stopped eating and were listening attentively to our conversation; interested in who it was that would not back down to Evolution. Those who didn't know me, or the past that Hunter and I shared, were beginning to form conclusions about who I was: an ex- wife, an ex- girlfriend, and all the likes. But at this moment I didn't care what they were saying about me.

Hunter pulled me closer to him, noticing the stares we were receiving, and whispered into my ear, "Why don't you just calm down, you're making a scene. Sit down and we'll talk this out like adults." He gestured to a nearby chair as he sat down in his. I contemplated his request as I stood in front of him.

"This is Randy Orton, and this is Dave Batista" he said gesturing to the two men. "And I'm Hunter. Can't we just start over?" he asked, a smile playing on his lips.

"The hell with you!" Nicole pulled herself away from Hunter's grasp. She picked up her salad, which she had placed on the table, and threw it in his lap. She turned around and stormed out of the room, all the while hearing Hunter curse her to death. In her rage, she didn't even notice a certain 'Heart Break Kid' as she left catering.

Shawn stumbled backwards as a fit of blonde hair stormed past him, muttering to herself. He stopped and thought for a few seconds still not trusting his eyes. 'No, it couldn't have been' he thought to himself. He tried to convince himself that it was Trish, or Stacy, but it just didn't work. The only person he thought it was, was Nicole. But it certainly couldn't have been her. She wasn't a Diva, as far as he knew. He shrugged the thought away as he entered the cafeteria, and spotted Adam at a table. As he walked towards him, he saw Hunter cleaning himself up.

"What happened to him?" Shawn had now reached Adam, who along with everyone else at the table, was in a fit of laughter.

"Nicole just...threw all...her salad...all over him," Victoria said in between laughs.

Shawn froze. He had been right. It was her. But what was she doing here. Suddenly everyone stopped laughing and their table took on a more serious vibe. They turned to look at Shawn, who was still taken aback that Nicole, indeed, was here. They all knew about their past, and they all knew that they hadn't seen each other for a very long period of time. In keeping their distance they had learnt to get on with their lives without each other. Shawn was now married and had two children, while Nicole had moved out of Texas, and to New York to focused her life on wrestling. They had all prayed that this would never happen, but deep down they knew that this moment would be inevitable. They all began to think the same thing; now that they were both here, working for the same company, would they still be able to live their own separate lives without crossing each other's path.

"Well, Hunter must have deserved it" Shawn finally spoke indifferently.

The table was quiet for a few more minutes before Trish decided to break the silence, "I think I'm going to go find Nicole"

"Me too" Lita, Stacy, and Victoria said in unison. And before the men had a chance to stop them, the girls were out of the room.

As she walked towards the Diva's locker room, Nicole felt more frustrated than ever. How could she let him get her like that? She knew that's all he was doing: trying to make her look bad. 'Why cant he just leave me alone' she thought. What the hell does he get out of doing this to me? She pushed open the locker room door and sat down on the leather couch. She bent over, and put her head between her hands and screamed,

"I HATE HIM"

"We know you do, honey" Nicole looked up, her eyes filled with tears, to find Lita, Stacy, Trish, and Victoria standing around her.

Lita had never seen her like this. In all the years she had known her, he had never made her cry. Never. Lita wondered what made this time any different than the last. And truth be told, she could only come up with one logical reason: Shawn. She knew it didn't make much sense, but that was it. Before Nicole had Shawn to turn to, and now she had no one. Well, she had them and Adam, and everyone else, but it wasn't the same. I guess now would not be the time to tell her about Shawn. She'd have to speak to the rest of the girls first, but she thought it would best if she and Shawn worked it out amongst themselves.

"Come on, Austin, don't cry. Hunter doesn't deserve your tears, don't give him the satisfaction" Victoria stated.

"He's such a jerk! Why does he always do this? Why can the just be nice!" Nicole asked.

"You of all people know it isn't in him to be nice. He just does it to get you angry, and every time you fall for his trap" Trish spoke honestly.

"I know, and I just can't help it. I just want to rip his head off. I know he does it to amuse himself and to see how much I can take. But the thing is I do the same to him. He just gets to me worse." Nicole sighed and got up. "I can't let him get to me anymore. I won't"

"Well, that's the smartest thing you've said all day," joked Lita.

"With that and throwing salad on Hunter; you're on a roll Austin" Stacy concluded.

I smiled and began to laugh. They always knew how to cheer me up. I wiped away the remaining tears and walked over to one of the big mirrors that covered most of the walls of the Divas' Locker Room. 'I look horrible' I thought to myself. As I began to touch up my make up, there was a knock on the door. Stacy opened it to reveal a stagehand.

"Are you Nicole Austin?" he asked.

I nodded a "yes", and he continued, "Mr. Bischoff wants to see you in his office right away."

'This cannot be good.'
