Chapter 6: Wrongful Turns.
Since they had taken off, the plane ride had been quite uneventful, with the exception of Ric making a mad dash for the plane. Flair had arrived just minutes before take off. He greeted Evolution, and then Nicole with a hug. He had sat across her and they had begun to talk about how their lives were going. Nicole hadn't seen Ric for many years: about seven or eight. They had first met when she was five years old. He and her father were working in the same promotion; which one she doesn't remember. He had always been like another father to her. After a while of chitchat, he excused himself and returned to his seat with Evolution.
Nicole immersed herself in her magazine, reading about the latest fashion trends in Milan, Paris, and the likes. She could hear the faint whispers coming from either Randy or Hunter as they came up with a plan for the next RAW. She looked up and scanned all their faces. Randy and Hunter were both in immense thought as they continued to hatch a plan. Ric was listening intently, as Batista nodded every so often.
Batista never said much. In fact, Nicole had never heard him actually speak. She studied his face; he was quite a mystery. She noticed that he never let any emotion show through onto his chiseled features. She looked him over; he was a good-looking man. 'He's really hot' Nicole thought. 'But so is Randy and he seems like an arrogant jerk. And Hunter...' she trailed off. She continued to watch him, when unexpectedly they locked eyes. He had caught her watching him. She blushed, as he smiled, and went back to reading her magazine.
After a few more minutes of reading, she felt the weight of the seats next to her shift. She looked up to find Hunter sitting across from her. Randy sat next to Hunter, and Dave next to her as Ric stood.
They looked at her expectantly, and when she didn't say anything Hunter finally spoke. "I didn't bring you here for no reason, Nicole"
Nicole smiled, "I know that you always have ulterior motives in everything you do Helms," she said using her nickname for him "I was just waiting for you to make your move." She crossed her legs and closed her magazine, preparing for what lay ahead.
Hunter smirked, "Okay, well we" he motioned to his fellow members, "have a proposition for you" he paused waiting for her to say something; she nodded urging him to continue. "We had been thinking of adding a member to Evolution for a little while now; a female member that is."
Batista turned to her and spoke for the very first time; "you know that old saying right 'behind every great man, there's a great woman'" his voice was silky, yet very hard and rough.
"And we couldn't think of anyone greater than you" Randy continued.
"That's why we invited you here. We wanted to talk to you about joining Evolution in private; so none of your little friends could interrupt. So what do you say Nicole, do you wanna be apart of the most powerful faction to ever grace the WWE, or do you want to stay with your friends and become the enemy" Hunter leaned back in his chair waiting her response; it was all up to her.
"So you want me to join Evolution, because of what? If you think that I'm gonna sleep with you guys, then you have another thing coming. That is of course if I decide to join. But why really should I join you guys. You don't really need me; you're powerful on your own. In addition, we really don't get along all that well, so why are you really doing this?" She was very confused. She and Hunter never got along. They couldn't even spend five minutes alone together, so why did he want her to join Evolution; they would have to spend all their time together.
"Firstly" Hunter began, "I think you would make a very nice addition to the team seeing as we are very similar. Don't even try to deny it Nikki; you like being in power. And so do we; and we have the power."
"You're also an amazing wrestler Nicole, we wouldn't want any other Diva on our team but you" Ric joined in.
"And you're smart" Dave added, "You know how to get people's attention by using their flaws. Like you did to Randy last night; you knew he wanted you, so you used that in favor of helping Benoit and Copeland win"
"Not to mention how hot you are" Randy smirked, "And that is a big part of what Evolution is about; looking good, and being the best"
Nicole licked her lips and thought, "Okay, I'll think about it."
Her answer stunned everyone in the room; including herself. They didn't actually think that she would accept, or even think about it; but she had. She didn't know why she had just said that. She didn't even really know if she wanted to join them or not.
"That's great. But, don't take too long; the offer won't stand forever. I'll give you 'till next Monday, which is RAW. Here's my number, call me when you have your answer" Hunter pulled out a piece of paper and a pen and jotted down his number and handed it to her. He walked back over to his seat, Ric and Randy in tow. Nicole took the paper and placed it in her wallet so she wouldn't loose it.
Batista remained seated next to Nicole for a few minutes before he whispered into her ear "I really hope you accept the offer. I think hanging around with you would be a lot more fun than staying with them all the time." He got up and returned to his seat, leaving a very perplexed Nicole.
Nicole sat there and began to think about what had just happened. Evolution had just offered her a place in their team; she wasn't just imagining it. She began to replay the whole scenario in her mind. She sighed; she'd really have to think about this one. She really didn't want to turn on her friends; she had known them forever and they'd be so disappointed, especially Jericho. But then on the other hand if she did join Evolution she'd be the most powerful Diva on RAW. Hunter was right and she knew it; she was just as power hungry as they were. She just didn't like to admit it. She went back and forth for what seemed like hours. She finally decided to get some sleep seeing as she was giving herself a headache with all the thinking she was doing.
Someone tapping her on the shoulder awakened her 3 hours later. She looked up into the eyes of Randy Orton. He told her they had landed and that she was free to go. Nicole smiled to herself; he really had everything going for him. He was gorgeous, and had an amazing body. He was a great wrestler, and held a lot of power, not to mention he was the Intercontinental Champion. She suddenly realized what she was thinking, 'What the hell is wrong with me. First Batista, now Randy; this really has to stop.' She got up and clutched her purse. She took her carry on, and began walking out of the plane. With one last glance back to Hunter and company, she left. She met up with everyone just outside the exit, and they walked over to pick up their rented SUVs.
"So were we right, was it Bis. who moved your seat?" Trish asked.
Nicole thought for a moment; should she tell them she was with Evolution. It wasn't as if she had a good time with them, she hadn't really even hung out with them at all so what should it matter. But then again, they'd probably get all upset that she was with them so she decided she wouldn't tell them. "Ya. He just wanted to apologize for how he acted yesterday and he wanted to welcome me to RAW, or so he said"
They all began to laugh and then started conversations amongst themselves, all except one: Chris Jericho. He studied Nicole's face trying to figure out if she lying or telling the truth. He came to the conclusion that her statement was true; Bischoff was never one to give up an opportunity with a beautiful woman, and Nicole definitely was beautiful.
The next couple of days passed in a blur. It was one house show to the next. Never stopping for a moment. She had yet to have her debut match, but instead contented herself with accompanying either Benoit or Adam to the ring. She and Evolution crossed each other's paths every now and again; but they both continued to act indifferently.
She had continued to think about their proposal, but had yet to come up with a decision. The deadline was soon reaching, it was now Friday night, and she still hadn't a clue as to what to do. She was torn between her friends and Evolution. She knew that she shouldn't be feeling this way, and should have told them to go and shove their offer up all their asses, but she hadn't. In some sick, strange way she was very impressed and drawn to them. She didn't know what it was, but she knew it was there. It was almost like an attraction; a desire that she needed to fulfill.
She looked over at the clock next to her bed; 1:00 a.m., and glanced at Stacy who was soundly asleep in the bed next to her. She climbed out of her bed, and silently crept over to where she had placed her cell phone. She picked it up, and went into her purse, pulled out her wallet and retrieved the stub of paper with Hunter's number. She had reached her decision, and if she didn't tell him now she would never do it. She walked outside, inhaling the crisp nighttime air. She dialed the number waiting for him to pick up.
After four rings he answered, "Hello"
"Hi, its me. I hope I didn't disturb you," she half whispered, not wanting Stacy to wake.
At the sound of Nicole's voice Hunter was wide awake. He hadn't expected her to call, and now that she had he was very interested in what she had to say. "No it's fine. Have you made you're decision yet?" he stifled a yawn.
"Ya I have. That's why I'm calling you. Do you think we could meet up and talk?" she answered trying not to give him to much information.
"Sure. Why don't we meet Sunday night at the deli a few streets up, say eightish?" he offered.
"Okay, that's great. So I'll see you there" she wanted this to end as quickly as possible.
"Wait." He paused "You are joining Evolution right?"
"Yes I am" With that she hung up the phone closing a chapter into her life and opening another.
Author's Note: hope you're still enjoying it. If you want to see any other pairing, Wrestler/Diva just let me know and I'll work it into the story. Thx Review.
