Nikki wakes up the next morning to find Dave walking out of the bathroom. He's wearing his swimsuit and no shirt.
"Hey sleepy head," Dave says, sitting down on the bed to put on his shoes.
"Hey, where you going?" Nikki asks, sitting up in bed.
"I'm going to go laps, wanna join me?" Dave replies.
"Sure. Give me 5 minutes."
Nikki gets out of bed, grabbing her suit out of her suitcase and heading to the bathroom. She soon exits the bathroom wearing a black string bikini with flames on it. Dave tries to keep eye contact, but his eyes wander.
"Let's go," Nikki grabs her towel and follows Dave down the hall.
They arrive at the pool and they're the only ones down there. Nikki sets her towel on the chair before going over to the steps that go into the pool.
"Oh god, it's freezing!" Nikki exclaims, looking at Dave.
"Suck it up," Dave replies, sliding into the pool and swimming over to where Nikki is.
He grabs her by the arms and pulls her over his shoulder.
"Dave! Put me down!" Nikki squeals as Dave chuckles.
"Alright," Dave says, flipping her off his shoulder and into the cold water below.
Nikki surfaces and glares at Dave who's laughing.
"You suck," Nikki spits out, brushing the hair away from her face.
"Aw, that hurt," Dave mocks, pouting.
Nikki swims over to Dave and splashes him before swimming away quickly.
"Oh you're dead!"
Dave dives under water and Nikki watches as he swims towards her. He gets between her legs and stands up so she's on his shoulders.
"Pay backs a bitch," Dave says as he leans back, falling into the water.
They both surface and start to laugh.
"You're mean," Nikki says, treading the water.
"So?" Dave shoots back with a smile.
The door opens and Randy and Courtney walk in.
"Hey you two," Nikki calls out, waving at them.
"Hey Nik, Dave," Randy says, nodding, "I see we weren't the only one's with this idea."
"Let's have a chicken fight!" Courtney suggests as they slip into the pool.
Nikki gets on Dave's shoulders and Courtney gets on Randy's. They lock up and push each other back and forth.
"You're going down!" Courtney giggles as she pushes Nikki.
She catches her balance and shoves Courtney hard, causing her to fall into the water.
"Yes! We're the champs!" Nikki announces, sliding off Dave's shoulders and hugging him.
Dave wraps his large arms around her and hugs back. They pull apart slowly, looking into each other eyes, but Randy dunks Nikki.
"You asshole," Nikki sputters, swimming over to the steps getting out.
Dave follows and holds her towel out to her. She wraps it around her small body and looks up at Dave.
"We're heading back up to our room," Dave states, not taking his eyes off Nikki.
"Alright, see you two later," Courtney replies.
"Piggyback ride!" Nikki calls out, jumping on Dave's back.
He chuckles and supports her as she wraps her arms around his strong neck. He carry's her down the hall as she giggles as the way. They arrive at their room and Nikki jumps off his back.
"I call shower first," Nikki says, rushing into the bathroom.
"No fair!" Dave states, trying to get the door open.
Nikki giggles and slips out of her suit. She turns on the water and steps into it. Dave turns on the TV and stands up, so he doesn't get the bed wet. Soon, he hears the water turn off and Nikki emerges from the bathroom. Her hair is soaking wet and she just has a small towel wrapped around her body.
"Forgot my clothes," Nikki says softly, picking up her pile of clothes, " the bathroom is all yours. I'll change out here."
Dave nods and quickly rushes into the bathroom. He leans against the sink, looking in the mirror.
'She's out there, changing right now,' Dave thinks, groaning softly, 'damn! Snap out of it, she's not interested.'
Dave undresses (pause for a mental picture…yummy!) and takes his shower. When he exits the bathroom, Nikki is dressed in a red shirt, and a short black skirt, that shows off her shapely legs.
"Paul called. We've leaving for the arena soon," Nikki says.
Dave walks over next to her and looks through his bag.
"Have you seen my suit?" Dave asks, glancing up.
"It's in the closet," Nikki replies, putting her brush away.
"Thanks," Dave grabs his suit and heads back into the bathroom.
Nikki watches his and smiles, 'Damn he looks fine in the towel,' she thinks to herself, 'Ugh! Snap out of it, he doesn't like you.'
There's a knock at the door and Nikki goes to answer it. Paul and Ric are standing there.
"Hey you two," Nikki steps aside and they walk into the room, " Dave will be out in a few."
Paul watches Nikki knock on the bathroom door.
"Hurry up slow poke! Paul and Ric are waiting!" Nikki says with a smile.
"Hold on, damn!" Dave replies, as Nikki laughs.
She collects her things and puts them in her bag. As she zips it up, Dave emerges from the bathroom.
"How do I look?" Dave smirks, holding his arms out.
"Oh shut up. We're waiting for you," Nikki shoots back, picking up her bag.
"Hey, I'll get that," Dave grabs her bag.
"Thanks."
The four of them throw their things in the limo and get in. Dave sits next to Nikki and Paul watches them intently. They're talking quietly with each other and Dave is sitting extremely close, almost protecting her, causing Paul to smirk, as he thinks of something. They arrive at the arena and they head to their locker room.
"Go see what our matches are for tonight," Paul states, looking at Nikki.
She nods and leaves the room. Paul watches her leave and whistles, causing Dave to look at him.
"Nice ass," Paul smirks as Ric rolls his eyes, " I would love to get a piece of that."
"Shut up man. She's not your type," Dave replies, glaring at Paul.
"I can make her my type, she'll be screaming my name soon," Paul chuckles, turning his back to Dave.
Dave stalks over to him and whirls him around, holding him by his shirt.
"Leave her alone," Dave warns, letting go of Dave and storming out of the room.
"That wasn't too smart," Ric says, shaking his head at Paul, "I wouldn't piss him off."
Nikki's walking back from finding out what Evolution's matches are when she sees Dave storming down the hall.
"Dave, what's the matter?" Nikki asks, putting her hands on his chest, stopping him.
"Paul pissed me off," Dave spits out angrily, looking down at her hands on his chest.
"What happened?" Nikki asks, not removing her hands.
Dave stops for a moment and she keeps staring at him.
"Nothing, lets go," Dave sighs, grabbing her arm and pulling her down to catering.
"Who's running Raw tonight?" Nikki asks, as they head over to the food.
"Maven, I think," Dave says, grabbing a plate and putting some food on it.
Nikki gets some food and they go to sit down. As they eat, Randy and Courtney enter. Randy smirks and heads over to their table.
"Oh hey Dave, hey Nik," Randy says, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Hey Randy," Nikki says as Dave glares at Randy.
"Too bad you didn't win last night," Randy states, throwing an arm around Courtney's shoulders.
Dave stands up angrily and Nikki grabs his arm.
"Fuck off Orton," Dave growls.
"Dave, chill. Don't let him get to you," Nikki says, standing in front of him, looking over her shoulder, "Randy, please."
Randy chuckles and walks away. Dave watches him leave and turns his attention to Nikki. He softly brushes a strand of hair away from her face and sighs.
"Thanks," he says softly, glancing at Courtney.
"For what?" Nikki asks, gazing up into his eyes.
"Keeping me restrained," Dave replies smiling, "I've been told I have a bad temper."
"You?" Nikki gasps, smirking, "Not you!"
Dave chuckles and they stare into each other's eyes, before Courtney clears her throat.
"Nikki, can I talk to you?" She asks, grasping her friend's hand.
"Yeah, um, I'll meet you back at the locker room," Nikki says to Dave, then follows Courtney.
"How was your date with young Randall?" Nikki asks, as they sit down on a crate.
"Great! We had a blast! We're officially a couple now," Courtney replies with excitement.
"Congrats. So, what did you want to talk to me about?"
"What's going on with you and Dave?"
"Nothing!" Nikki yelps out, her face turning bright red.
"You like him!" Courtney exclaims, smiling.
"I do not!" She defends, crossing her arms across her chest, "please C, just drop it."
"Just admit it, you like Dave!"
"Fine! I like him! Nikki yells, then her tone softens, "I've never felt this way before. It's only been 3 weeks. Is that wrong?"
"No, that's fine hon. Listen, he looks like he likes you too," Courtney says, "just go with it."
Nikki nods and stands up.
"I'm heading back."
"Alright, I'll call you later," Courtney says, watching her friend walk away.
Nikki stops to get a water and heads back to the locker room. She drops her water and bends over to pick it up. Someone whistles behind her and she turns around quickly to see Gene Snitsky.
"Can I help you?" Nikki questions, placing her hands on her hips.
"No, I'm just enjoying the view," Gene remarks, checking her out.
Nikki shudders and slowly backs away.
"Watcha running away from?" Gene smirks, following her.
"You," a voice says behind him.
Gene turns around to see Ric standing there.
"Why don't you just leave?" Ric suggests, walking over to Nikki.
Gene stalks away and Nikki smiles at Ric.
"Thanks, he's a real creep," Nikki says as they walk into the locker room.
"Who you talking about?" Paul asks from his spot on the couch.
"Snitsky," Nikki replies, standing by Ric.
Dave watches as Paul slowly runs his eyes over her body. Dave curses under his breath and walks to Nikki.
"Will you help me with my stretches?" Dave asks, gritting his teeth.
"Sure," Nikki says with a smile.
She sits beside him on the floor and helps him out. Paul and Ric are talking and Dave turns to Nikki.
"Watch out for Paul," Dave says quietly, eyeing Paul.
"What's wrong?" Nikki whispers, following his gaze.
"Please, just watch out," Dave pleads, staring into her eyes.
Nikki nods and Dave helps her up. She stumbles and trips into Dave. He steadies her and smiles. Paul looks over to see Nikki pressed against Dave, with his arm around her waist.
"Thanks, I can be a bit clumsy sometimes," Nikki giggles.
"Anytime. I wouldn't want you to get hurt."
Paul watches them and smirks, thinking of a plan.
Raw, Later that night
Dave and Paul are getting ready for their promo. The cameraman arrives and Nikki watches as they set up.
"We're on in 5, 4, 3, 2," The cameraman points to Paul.
Dave walks into the room and Paul looks up.
"Hey man, I've been thinking," Day says as Paul chuckles.
"I thought I smelled smoke," Paul jokes, "stop thinking man."
Dave's smile disappears from his face and Paul laughs.
"I'm kidding!"
"Why don't you just go out there and kill Maven?" Dave asks.
"Because, all the guys will come out there and make sure Maven wins," Paul explains.
"I just don't get it," Dave says, shaking his head.
"Stop thinking," Paul laughs, "I'm joking! Lighten up!"
Paul walks off and Dave watches him with a weird look on his face. Nikki walks up to him and he looks down at her.
"Some joke," Dave says, shrugging.
Paul's match
Nikki is alone in the locker room watching Paul's match, but she's not really watching what's going on in the match, but someone ringside… Dave. Maven climbs the top rope and Dave knocks him off. The ref ejects Dave and Nikki shakes her head. Soon after, Ric is ejected and Dave storms into the room. He slams the door open and Nikki jumps.
"Son of a bitch!" Dave yells, tossing his coat to the floor.
Nikki slowly walks up to him and touches him softly.
"What?" He growls, and she can see the fire in his eyes.
Ric enters the room, but Nikki and Dave don't notice him.
"Take a deep breath," Nikki instructs, as Dave takes a deep breath, "better?"
Dave nods and offers a small smile.
"Good," Nikki states, "you have a really big anger problem."
"I told you," Dave says, "but there's one thing that helps me get calm."
"What's that?" Nikki asks, as Ric watches on.
"You."
