Chapter 7: Unusual Behavior
Saturday, and Sunday both went by quickly as they had house shows both days. Nicole loved the vibe that she got whenever she walked to the ring. The crowd loved her; and they always cheered her on. She knew that she should try to take in as much as she could, seeing as soon she would be the newest member of Evolution. She was certain her fans would turn on her for making that decision. She just hoped that her friends wouldn't do the same. She hoped they would understand, but deep down she knew they never could.
It was now Sunday night. They had just finished their house show in San Bernardino. They were all tired, as they hadn't had a day off since they had begun their tour of California. But Tuesday, they had the whole day free, and Nicole along with the rest of the girls; Lita, Stacy, Trish, and Victoria had decided to go shopping. Nicole was looking forward to that. She loved shopping.
Since they were all too tired to go out after the show, they had decided to go back to their hotel. They went to Jericho, and Adam's room, since it was the biggest, and had ordered pizza, and some PPV movies. They were laughing, and eating just having a good time. Every so often, Nicole glanced at her watch making sure she wouldn't be late for her "meeting".
Currently they were watching Gothica, which Nicole thought was pretty scary. She buried her face into Chris' neck looking up every so often to see what was happening. Chris laughed as she held on to him. He had never seen her this scared before. He knew, as did the others, that she hated scary movies. He continued laughing as she playfully hit his arm in defense.
At eight o'clock, the movie ended. They had just ordered another movie: a comedy this time. Nicole stood up and faked a yawn. "I'm really tired guys, I think I'm just gonna go up to bed"
"Aw, has all the traveling, and work been too much for the princess" Matt teased. Lita hit him with a pillow, as he pretended to be hurt.
"You want me to walk you up?" Chris asked.
"No, it's okay. I'll be fine. Its only one floor up." Nicole was trying to get out of there as fast as possible.
"You sure?" he asked again.
"Ya. Don't worry. Just watch the movie" she replied.
Chris nodded, as everyone bid her goodnight. She took her black Chanel purse and walked out. She walked to the elevator, and waited for it to arrive. She looked down at her watch and saw that it was 8:10. She was already late, and she knew how much Hunter hated to wait. She stepped off the elevator and walked outside, feeling the air nip at her skin. 'I should have grabbed a jacket' she thought. She was wearing a pleated Von Dutch jean skirt with the logo, in pink, plastered on the front and back. She had worn a simple black wife-beater, and black stiletto heels to finish the outfit.
Within ten minutes she had arrived at the deli. She walked in and scanned the room looking for Evolution. She finally saw them; they were at the back of the restaurant. There were a few women around, basically throwing themselves at them. Nicole rolled her eyes as she made her way over to the table. She looked at Hunter, and inwardly laughed. She could tell he was getting very annoyed of the brunette that was with him. He looked up and saw Nicole, pleading with her to save him with his eyes.
She walked up to the table and cleared her throat. They all looked up at her: the men smiling, the women all giving her an evil glare. "I think you're in my seat," she said to the blonde that was sitting next to Randy. She stood up, as Nicole turned to the other two who were standing next to the booth that Hunter and Dave were occupying, "Now if you can all just leave, it would be greatly appreciated." Nicole put on a sweet smile, waiting for them to leave. They turned around in a huff, and left as Nicole sat next to Randy.
"I was starting to think you weren't gonna show" Hunter announced.
"Look, I'm sorry I'm late, but I told you I would be here, and I am. So don't start with me. I am not in the mood to fight with you" Nicole stated.
"Calm down. I don't want to fight with you either." He paused and looked at her.
She gave him an apologetic look, "Sorry, I'm just tired I guess."
"It must be hard trying to get back into the routine of doing a show and then hopping onto the car to get to the next venue" Dave pointed out.
Nicole nodded "Ya it is. I haven't done this for a while. But I didn't come here to talk about that, so why don't we just get down to it." She paused and looked around the room, "Where's Ric?"
"He couldn't come. He had a meeting with Bischoff about something, and told us to tell you he was sorry that he couldn't make it." Randy explained.
Nicole nodded in understanding. They then began to talk about the task at hand; her joining Evolution. She explained to them that she had decided she would join. They were all very pleased with her decision. As they began to further their conversation she realized that they weren't at all liked they seemed. Sure they had big egos, and were very power driven, but there was more to them. Nicole could tell that Randy had a great sense of humor, and that Batista was very conscientious, and thoughtful. Every so often these characteristics would show through. Even Hunter was acting different; it was a side of him that she had never seen. They were getting along, and laughing like old friends as they told Randy, and Dave stories.
Soon she too opened up and explained to them how she was worried about how her friends would react. She knew they would not take her decision too lightly, and would be quite furious with her. She knew that each one of her friends had something against Evolution, and that not one of them could think of something nice to say about them. They assured her that no matter what would happen, they would not let her get hurt. Nicole pondered that; 'they may be able to stop me from physical injuries, but what about emotional.'
"If they do turn on you Nicole, then they were never really your friends" Hunter suggested.
Nicole stared at Hunter and thought about what he had said, "I guess, but lets just hope that they won't. There's no harm in hoping."
Soon they began to talk about how they would reveal her as being a member of Evolution. They each thought about it and brought ideas to the table, but none seemed suitable. After many hours, and many cups of coffee, Nicole suddenly got an idea.
"I've got it!" she said with a bright smile.
They all looked at her eagerly, wanting to know what she had come up with. She looked at all their faces, and inwardly laughed, they were all so interested in what she had to say. But she wasn't going to tell them; she wanted it to be a surprise.
"Well, I'm not going to tell you" she looked at Hunter and noticed that he had become upset. Before he could protest she continued, "Trust is going to have to play a big part in our relationship. And like you mentioned before, I'm going to have to trust you guys. But trust works both ways; if I trust you, you have to trust me. Look at this as me proving my loyalty to you."
"Nicole's right" Hunter began "We all have to trust each her, and what better way to start than right now. But I'm warning you Austin, you screw me over and there will be consequences to pay."
"Oh, don't worry Hunter, I never go back on my word." She said as a smile played on her lips. She looked at her watch, and was shocked when she noticed it was already 1:00 a.m. She stood up and told them that she would be leaving. They all agreed that it was pretty late, and they too were leaving for the hotel. She said her goodbyes and left the diner.
Hunter followed her out, and noticed that she had begun to walk up the street to the hotel. He caught up to her, and grabbed her by the arm spinning her around, "You shouldn't be walking alone at this time of night. There might be creeps lurking around"
"Oh, like you" she smirked.
Hunter chuckled, "Why don't you let us take you back to the hotel. Were going in the same direction anyways"
Nicole shrugged; she had spent the past 5 hours with them, a whole 5 minutes more wouldn't kill her. She strutted past Hunter to the limo that Dave was getting in. She got in after him, and was soon followed by Hunter. A couple minutes later they were at the hotel. Hunter got out, and making sure that no one was watching, gestured for Nicole to get out. She slid out, mouthed a 'Thank You' to Hunter and entered the hotel before anyone could see her.
She rode the elevator up to the 16th floor, all the while wishing and praying that Stacy hadn't come home yet. She knew that she was wishing against all odds. She was certain that Stacy had gone up to their room to find it empty. She slid her keycard in the slot and walked in expecting to find Stacy asleep. But what she found served to be very interesting.
She walked in to find a certain Stacy Keibler, and Chris Jericho making out on the bed. She smiled and cleared her throat, letting them know she had arrived. They looked up in embarrassment, as Chris stood up and put his shirt back on.
The three of them stood in awkward silence for a minute until Jericho broke the ice, "And where the hell have you been. We've been waiting for you for 2 hours"
"Doesn't look like you missed me too much" Nicole joked. Stacy blushed and looked at Chris. "I just went for a walk and then, I went to get a cup of coffee" she lied.
Chris nodded his head, "Okay, but next time let someone know. We were worried about you"
He headed for the door, and Stacy stood and walked after him. She returned a few minutes later, looking down at the floor blushing, "Don't even say one word"
"What like I was going to. I'm not that interested in your sex life. Anyways I think you and Chris look good together."
Nicole undressed as Stacy rolled her eyes and got into bed, "You really think so"
"You know I've wanted you and Chris to get together.... for like ever. I'm glad that it finally happened. If only I could be so lucky in the love department."
"Don't worry, you'll find your knight in shining armor. Just give it some time" Stacy smiled. "I hope you're right" with that they both fell silent, too tired to say anything more.
Author's Note: I'm thinking of working other couples into the story. So far I have Lita/Matt, and now Stacy/Chris. If you have any suggestions for other Diva/Wrestler couples let me know Thx.
