"Talk to me" Jon begs softly as we wait by the doors. Nikki is in the ring cutting a promo on me and I'm waiting for my cue to interrupt. I shake my head, looking up at him. He melts my heart. "Not now Jon" I say quietly. "I need to concentrate on work, ok? Later, I promise." He nods, kissing me softly as The Shields music blasts around the arena. "I gotta go" I whisper. "I love you." He nods and holds the door open for me as I walk out.
"Haven't you heard that it's rude to talk about people behind their backs Nikki?" I ask as I walk down the steps. Nikki smirks at me. "Fine by me Lora" she says. "I'll do it to your face. Look at you. How can you call yourself a diva, let alone a divas champion? You dress like your sad husband. You come to the ring to their theme. You have, like, zero, personality. What part of you is original, huh? Your ring gear is the same as The Shields. I mean, what normal diva wrestles in a swat vest and trousers?" I nod. "Ok" I say. "I get your point. So, tonight, how about we have ourselves a little match. Just to see what's better. Being unoriginal, or dressing like a hooker?" The crowd pops like crazy, we knew they would. Nikki smirks slightly, she heard it too. One nil to us. She nods. "Sure" she says. "Let's see how unoriginal you can be for this. See you later Dean, no, Seth, no, Roman, ah I've got it, Lora." She drops her microphone and gets out of the ring as her music plays. I smirk and shake my head, watching as she walks up the ramp. "Hey Nikki" I call as she's halfway up. She turns around quickly. "I may be unoriginal" I say. "But being unoriginal got me this." I hold the divas championship up and wave at her as she scowls and runs backstage.
Jon is waiting for me by the locker room door. "Great promo" he says nervously. I nod, frowning at him. "What's wrong?" I ask. He shakes his head. "I dunno" he admits. "My wife won't talk to me, and if I go to my locker room Joe looks like he's gone tear Colby's head off. What the fuck is going on with everyone?" I shake my head, opening the locker room door. "Maybe you should speak to Joe" I say. "Sorry Jon, but I need to go get ready." He nods and blows me a kiss. I smile and close the door behind me.
"Stop shutting him out Lora" Denise warns as I grab ring gear from Nikki. I shake my head, looking at her before pulling off my "shield gear" as Nikki calls it. "I'm not shutting him out Denise" I point out. "I'm just staying away from Joe. It's safer this way." "Staying away from Joe and shutting Jon out" Denise clarifies. "You're making it seem like you and Colby really do have something to hide." I look at her in horror and she holds up her hands quickly. "Woah, calm down" she says. "Look at it from Jon's point of view. All of a sudden you won't talk to him, and you won't be around Colby or Joe. You won't even get changed in your usual locker room. He's gonna know something's up Lora. You need to talk to him. Before Joe does." I groan, pulling on Nikki's spare ring gear. "Nicole!" I call. "How do I look?" I twirl and she grins. "This is gonna be so much fun" she says hugging me. "But Denise is right. Go find Jon. Make this all right before our match. I need your mind on the match not your marital problems." "I don't have marital problems Nicole" I point out. "But I do miss hugging my husband. Ok. You guys win. I'll see you out there." I grab my phone and take a deep breath before pulling the door open.
"Hey Nikki" Jon says. "Is everyone dressed in there? Can I go see Lora?" I take the cap off and smirk at him. "Lora?" he asks, frowning. "Yep" I say, giving him a twirl. "Just another of our little surprises for our match. You like?" "Fuck yes!" he moans, pulling me to him and kissing me softly. I moan and pull him closer to me, not letting him go. "Hey Ambrose!" Cena says. "You wanna concentrate on kissing your wife, not my girlfriend? Oh, sorry Lora. Why are you wearing Nikki's clothes?" I laugh as he blushes. "Just for our match John" I say. "Don't worry, it's a one night only thing. You want Nikki?" He nods and I push the door open. "Hey Nicole!" I yell. "You might wanna get out here before our significant others get confused." She pulls the door open, smiling when she sees Cena. "I just had a heart attack" he admits. "I thought you were kissing Ambrose!" She laughs. "Guess our plan is working Lora" she says, linking her arm through John's. "I'll see you out there." I nod and watch as she walks down the corridor arm in arm with Cena. "Earth to Lora" Jon says. I look at him quickly. "Come on" he says pulling me down the corridor. "Our locker room. Privacy, and let's get this shit sorted with you and Joe."
