Chapter 11: Good and Evil
Nicole was awaked the next morning by the blinding light of the sun. She rolled over onto her stomach and pulled the sheets up further over her head. She didn't know the exact time, but she knew it was way too early for her to be waking up. She silently cursed herself for not closing the drapes the night before, in an attempt to gain more sleep. After a few moments of thinking that last thought over, she realized she had indeed closed the drapes, why the hell were they opened now?
She slowly let her head peak through a small whole in the sheets and saw the frame of a well built man standing near the balcony doors. She sighed a sigh of relief as she realized it was only Dave and sat up in her bed, and looked at the alarm clock on the bed side table which read 11:00.
Batista heard her stir and looked back over to where she lay. He shook his head as he watched her yawn and stretch, "Glad you finally decided to join us Princess."
Nicole cocked her head, "I didn't really have a choice there did I, Big Man. How the hell is a girl supposed to sleep, when someone is letting all the damn sun in the room. I don't know about you, but I certainly can't sleep when that happens."
Dave once again laughed, the girl had quite an attitude, and it was beginning to grow on him. Randy had been right about saying that she was perfect for Evolution; she possessed all of the right characteristics in just the right amount. He knew she was enjoying her time with Evolution, or so it seemed. But on the other hand, he knew it had cost her a lot to be apart of their team. He was suddenly broken out of his thoughts by the sound of the front door opening and slamming closed.
Nicole looked from Dave to the door of her room and back to Dave again with a puzzled expression over her face. Dave didn't seem started by this at all as he knew who it was and why it had most probably happened.
"What the hell was that?" asked Nicole. She could now hear Hunter's booming voice coming from the living room. He was certainly upset and was cursing whoever he was angry with all the way to hell. She swung her legs over the bed, and with one last glance at Dave, rushed out of the room with him in tow.
There in the living room of their hotel suite stood Hunter pacing the room like a mad man. There was broken glass all over the floor and Nicole could hear them being crunched into little pieces by his feet. Ric Flair stood a few feet away from him trying to calm him down. Randy now rushed in from his bathroom, where he had previously been showering, obviously aware that something was going on.
"Hey there Champ. Now just calm down." Flair soothed. "Whatever it is just forget about it for now, we'll get it when the time is right."
"When the time is right! I think the right time is right now. I have have had enough of that son of a bitch, walking around here like he's some martyr. Always damn preaching about doing the right thing, no this time it's too much. Shawn Micheals is finally going to get what's coming towards him." Hunter kept rambling as he continued to pace the floor.
Nicole couldn't help but let a small smile creep on her face. She knew it was a serious time right now, but she couldn't help feel some sort of satisfaction after hearing the words that had just come out of Hunter's mouth. Shawn Micheals was going to pay; and there had never been anything sweeter than that. She felt a pair of eyes on her, and quickly changed the expression on her face.
"At least some one is willing to show that they support this idea" Hunter claimed, obviously referring to Nikki.
"We all support you man, I just think you should calm down first, get all your thoughts together and then we can sort this all out." Dave suggested.
"Dave's right man," Randy voiced, "We need to get it together and come up with a logical idea."
"I don't have time to sit around. I want this to end and the sooner the better."
"Hunter, the guys are right." Nicole walked over to him carefully trying to avoid the broken glass. She took his hand and began to lead him towards one of the many balconies. She turned back and informed the remaining 3 members of Evolution, that she would take care of it and to not worry, before returning to Hunter. She closed the doors leading to the inside and turned to see that he was leaning against the railing. She watched him a few more moments, trying to figure out what was going on inside his mind.
He turned, and was now leaning over the railing, his head in his hands. "You can't stand there and say that you don't agree with me Nikki. This has been building for all too long, and now it's finally time to finish it."
"What the hell happened while you were gone? Or did you just have an epiphany." she asked dismissing his question.
"I was at the gym, everything was completely fine. I was minding my own damn business, when who shows up, Shawn. And you know Shawn he always has to make a show, always has to be the 'Show Stoppa'. So what does he do, he starts in on me, so I thought fuck this and I basically starting ripping into his ego and what not. And Shawn is the type of guy who can dish it, but you know he can't take it, so he starts getting all riled up, starting shit on you and what you did, and that's when I had had it..."he trailed off and looked at her.
Nicole looked down and blushed, "...and then what happened."
"Well I guess you can say that I...snapped. I jumped him and we started to fight, until some security guards rushed in and pulled me off him, and thank God they did. I don't know what I would have done to Shawn if they hadn't stepped in." He walked away from where the railing was supporting him and stood right in front of Nicole.
"Dammit Hunter, do you know that if someone had called the cops your ass would be in jail right now. You're lucky no one else was hurt in your scuffle with Shawn, 'cuz if there would have been..."
"Oh come on, I'm Triple H baby, they wouldn't have thrown he in jail. And if they had, I know it would be only a matter of minutes until you bailed me out." He advanced until he was as close to her as he could be.
"I guess I would..." She looked down at her feet once more, the predicament they were in giving her butterflies in her stomache.
Hunter watched for a few moments, before lifting her chin so that their eyes met. Ever since the night before at the club, he longed to kiss her but he hadn't found the perfect moment. Well, if there was a perfect moment it was this one. He leaned in, and felt her adjust her body so that she was closer to him. His lips lightly grazed hers, causing a shiver down her spine, and just as he was about to capture her lips,
"Hey you guys hungry?" Randy pulled open the door and suddenly froze, full knowing what he had interrupted.
Hunter immediately moved away, and Nicole feigned embarassment. Randy grinned and stepped back into the room, closing the doors behind him.
"So are they hungry" Flair asked.
Randy continued grinning, "Not for food..."
Randy was interrupted by Hunter and Nicole walking into the room. Hunter gave Randy a look, that told him not to tell anyone what he had seen outside.
Ric, completely dismissing what was going on, was still holding room service on the phone, and was beginning to get impatient, " You two want anything or not?"
Nicole and Hunter both nodded their heads no, and Ric continued his conversation on the phone. When he was donw ordering, he turned back to them, "So are you calm now Champ. Can we talk about this situation with Shawn rationally now." Hunter nodded his head, and the five of them walked over and sat on the couches.
Nicole sat back next to Hunter and began, "I think if we are gonna do this, is has to be done right. We have to plan everything, there is no way we can do this by winging it. Every step of this plan, has to be approved by every single on of us, and we have to all know what eachother is doing. Shawn is smarter than he looks and if one of us fucks up he's gonna realize, so we have to be in sync."
They all stared at her, "Sounds like you know what you're talking about" Dave inquired.
"Well, I have thought of ruining Shawn on more than one occasion, I just never actually went through with anything."
"Nicole's right, if we do this we do it right. We have everything planned. I think I know exactly how we can do this, and we are all going to have to help out." Everyone nodded in agreement, as Hunter began to reveal his plan.
Later that night, Nicole lay on her bed reading a magazine. She had just taken a nice, long bath to relax and was now in a knee length pink satin robe. She heard a knock at her door, and told whoever it was to come in; she wasn't surprised to see that it was Hunter.
He closed the door behind him and sat on the edge of her bed, "This won't take long, I just wanted to thank you."
Nicole placed her magazine aside and sat up, "For what?"
"For what you did earlier, you calmed me down, and we ended up coming up with a pretty hot plan, if I do say so myself."
Nicole laughed, "Ya it is pretty hot, Shawn won't know what hit him, or who for that matter." She looked down at her hands in her lap and then continued, "Actually, I should be the one thanking you."
Hunter cocked his head, "For what?"
"You stood up for me with Shawn, and I really appreciate it. You know Hunter, if someone would have told me a year ago, that you and I would be here sitting together having a civilized conversation, and actually getting along, I would have never believed them. I guess we have come along way, and, and...So ya thanks." She again looked down, for the fiftieth time that day.
Hunter watched her blush and smiled, "If you think for one second that I was going to let Shawn Micheals, or anyone for that matter, talk about you, in any way, then you have another thing coming."
Nicole smiled, "Well thank you, I appreciate that very much,"
"Ya, you said that already"
"Oh sorry" she bent her head in embarrassment, her blonde hair cascading over her face.
Hunter reached out and placed her hair back out of her face. She looked back up at him, as he leaned in closer to her and captured her lips in a passionate kiss. Nicole leaned in closer as she continued to kiss him, not wanting it to end. After a few moments they broke apart, neither one knowing what to say.
"Well I'll let you get some rest, Goodnight" he kissed her forehead and then slipped out the door.
As soon as he was gone, Nicole couldn't hold her smile back any longer. She had wanted Hunter to kiss her for the longest time, and after Randy interrupting them she didn't think it would ever happen. But it had happened, and Nicole couldn't have been any happier. She lay back down, and closed her eyes, as thoughts of Hunter and the kiss they had just shared invaded her mind.
