Nick was backstage at the arena, nervous because he knew Catalina was going to come and watch him. He was working with Seth Rollins that night and wanted to put on a good show for the woman he was fascinated with.
"Hey bro, about our match tonight. Can we make it really high action, impressive stuff?" Nick asked Seth.
"Yeah sure man, why? There someone you want to impress?" Seth asked.
"Yeah, a woman named Catalina who is coming to her first wrestling show in years; she stopped watching a while back."
"She must be something if you, the show off, want to put on an extremely impressive match for her." Seth laughed "But yeah man no problem. I remember how you agreed to the same thing when I wanted to impress my girl. How did you meet her?" Seth asked genuinely curious about her.
"She was crying on the beach, which I noticed after I almost fell over her. When she looked up I saw she had a black eye and a whole bunch of cuts on her face which, she told me, her now ex-boyfriend gave her for trying to leave him. So she had him arrested and escaped here until his trial." Nick replied "When she told me what he did to her I was so horrified that someone could treat a beautiful woman that way."
Seth had never seen Nick this worked up over something although he had to agree with Nick about abuse. It shouldn't happen in any situation but in a relationship it was worse because you trusted that person and then they hurt you in a way that makes it almost impossible for you to trust again.
"Whoa man, what a dickhead. Like if you're lucky enough to get a beautiful woman then you do everything you can to keep her but you don't hurt her cause that's just downright wrong in every way. Maybe we should teach him a lesson?" Seth suggested, thinking about what he would have done to any man who hurt his beautiful girlfriend.
"Nah he's in New Zealand, where she's initially from, awaiting trial for battery, assault, rape and intent to kill. He ran her down with a car, lucky she ducked out of the way, simply for wanting to dump him and move on with her life."
"He sounds like a real bastard. You better treat her right Nick."
"I plan to. I want her to trust me. Besides I'm the show off." Nick said reverting to his character that he knew Seth was more comfortable with, although he had to admit the guy had earned a few points with Nick for the way he reacted to the abuse conversation. "I'll have her madly in love with me, you just watch. And it will be as simple as she won't want to leave me. I guess it's too bad that I'm just too damn good." He continued, laughing.
Although in the back of his mind there was a worry that maybe he had already fallen under Catalina's spell and it wouldn't be her not wanting to leave him but simply the other way around.
