Chapter 7: Troubles a' brewing.

"So what's the plan to keep ya outa trouble for tonight," Lita asked as she brushed out her hair.

"I'm gonna hang with Chris, and try not to do anything stupid. And I cant have too much to drink, 'cuz u all know how I am when I get drunk," I said. It was now well after RAW went off the air. We were all back in the Divas locker room getting ready for our night out.

"Oh ya, we know. The last time you got drunk, you ended up giving Adam a lap dance" giggled Stacy as she fixed her skirt.

"I don't see why you're going through all this trouble Nikki. It's not like Steve is gonna be at the party; you're basically free to do what you want," said Victoria as if I was some idiot.

"I know he won't be there, but everything I do somehow manages to get back to him anyways," I said rather bluntly.

"I'm sorry Nikki, I just hate to see you like this. You're doing everything to please him. It's not like you. Just be yourself, and if you do get into some trouble, we'll vouch for you. Don't worry okay" apologized Victoria.

I nodded and smiled my thanks, as I looked myself over in the mirror one more time.

"Nicole, you've been at the mirror for like an hour," Stephanie said getting impatient of waiting. "You look hot, and you know it, so can we please go."

I smiled again, "you really think I look hot Steph."

"YES!!!" they all said at the same time.

I looked in the mirror for the last time. "I guess," I mumbled. I had changed into a very short pleated pink and purple "school girl" skirt. I had a tight, pink, low cut tank top, and had decided on purple converse high tops to finish the outfit. "Ok, we can go" I walked out the door as the Divas rolled their eyes and laughed following.

When we got to the club most of the guys were already there. I immediately spotted Chris in a corner with Adam, Jay, Rey, Kurt, Matt, Andrew and John. Trish, Amy, Stacy and I made our way over to the table, as the other Divas headed in different directions, promising we'd meet up later.

As we were making our way over, John looked up and saw me. He smiled and waved a "hey", as the others, who had now realized we were heading in their direction, were shifting to make room. I sat between Chris and John, while Lita placed herself next to Matt, Trish next to Jay, and Stacy on Andrew's lap. We had just begun to chat, when no sooner Adam started to talk about getting drinks. Everyone gave in their orders but me.

"You can have a drink Nicole" Chris said with a smirk. "Just don't get anymore after this one."

"Okay, I'll have a cosmopolitan." I said as I stood up. "I think I'll come help ya Adam." Adam and I walked over to the bar, gave in the order, and prepared to await for the drinks.

After 10 minutes, the bartender finally came back, "I think that's it. I'm just missing the cosmopolitan and a margarita. I'll get that as soon as I can."

"Why don't you take these and I'll wait for the rest" Adam said as he handed me the tray.

"No, I'll wait it's okay. It's only mine and Stacy's, so you go ahead."

"You sure?"

"Yep, no worries" I smiled, and Adam returned it with one of his huge grins and left.

I looked out onto the dance floor and smiled. Lita and Matt were dancing together, as were Victoria and Rob Van Dam, and Dawn and Torrie were giving everyone a good show. I smiled again, "I'm so happy to be back...."

"I'm happy you're back too."

I froze. I knew that voice; I'd know it anywhere. I slowly turned around, and sure enough there was Shawn Micheals. He had on blue jeans, and a black t-shirt. His hair was pulled back into a ponytail, and it looked like he hadn't shaved for a week. God he looked good. No, what am I saying, he doesn't look good. Okay, it must be the alcohol. Wait, I haven't had any yet! Okay Nicole, breathe, just turn around and walk away. Just walk away.

I turned to walk away, but I couldn't do it. Part of me wanted to ignore him, but part of me just wanted to tear him to shreds. Who the hell does he think he is? Walking over here and talking to me like nothing happened.

"So do you always talk to yourself?" he asked, knowing I'd have some smart comeback.

I turned around, " no" I said coolly. He nodded. At this moment the bartender decided to return with my drink. Finally!

"So" he began "when I saw you at catering, why didn't you come say hello?"

I took a sip of my drink, "why should I come and see you Shawn?"

"Maybe because I haven't seen or spoken to you in four years" he spat out.

"Oh, and that's all my fault Shawn. What, do you expect me to be like all those other girls you've ever fucked? Am I supposed to swoon over HBK? To fall head over heels for the Heart Break Kid. Ha, I don't think so, not anymore.

Shawn gritted his teeth, "That's not what I'm saying. I just thought that maybe you'd want to talk, since after all I haven't seen you since your father and Vince found us, and you never really made an effort to call me or anything."

I glared at him, "I cannot believe you are saying this to me Shawn. Don't pin this all on me okay. You never made an effort to call me or come see me either. And you knew exactly where I was. You were the lucky one who got to stay, so I didn't really know where you were going to be everyday. So it's not only my fault we haven't sorted thing out and we haven't spoken. And you know what maybe it should have stayed that way. So why don't you just leave me alone Shawn, and we can both pretend like nothing ever happened, since you already have."

"Are you out of your mind! I'm the one pretending like nothing happened? Something happened between us Nicole, and we can't change that. If I had to do it all again, I would no matter what because I cared about you Nikki" he put his hand on my cheek, "and for some reason, I still care about you."

I pushed his hand off me, "you know Shawn, I almost forgot how good an actor you are. If you're looking for someone to take back to your room and fuck senseless, then I suggest you go and use your lines for someone who'll buy them!"

"I'm being serious here Nicole, and all you can do is make some stupid accusation. If you would just listen to what I have to say...."

"Just leave me alone Shawn..."

"No, all I want is for you to listen."

"I'm only going to say it one more time." By now, people had begun to notice what was going on. My plan of not getting into anything sure went down the drain; a small crowd had begun to form, and were watching my little scene with Shawn.

"I think the lady asked you to leave her alone" came a gruff voice that could only belong to a man.

Shawn was now glaring at whomever it was that was behind me, "you know Helmsley, this is really none of your business."

"How very wrong you are Shawn. I'm the World Heavyweight Champion, everything is my business, and obviously she wants nothing to do with you."

Shawn chuckled, " Fine Hunter, you can go ahead and deal with her, because god knows I can't. But, I'm sure the two of you would be perfect together." And with that he left.

I turned around to face my knight in shining armor. I looked up to see one of the sexiest men I had ever seen, 'but definitely not sexier than what's his name from catering'. He wore a pair of black dress pants, with a nice, fitted grey blue shirt. I smiled as I looked him over, for he had begun to do the same.

"Hunter Hearst Helmsley" he said.

"Nicole Austin"

"I had a good feeling it was you. I couldn't really tell with how much you've changed, but I was sure when I heard you run that mouth. Only you could give Shawn a run for his money like that" he chuckled. He noticed the confused look on my face and laughed, "You don't remember me?"

"No, should I."

"I was friends with Shawn when the two of you were dating. He used to talk non-stop about you. We met a couple times..."

It finally dawned on me who he was. Back when I was together with Shawn, he had told me about Hunter; his best friend. Hunter was one of the very few people who had known about our relationship.

"OOH, I remember." I smiled.

"Well, that doesn't really matter anymore anyways," he paused, "what are yyour doing all by yourself at the bar any how. Why don't you come and party with me and my friends?"

"Sure why not" I smiled as Hunter lead me to the back of the club.
