Next Monday

Dave and Nikki walk into Evolution's locker room, to see Paul pacing the room.

"What's wrong champ?" Dave asks with a smile.

"Tonight, I have a cage match with Benoit," Paul fumes.

"Don't worry about it," Nikki says, causing Paul to stalk to her.

"Don't worry about it!" Paul screams, grabbing her arm roughly, "shut your fucking mouth, you little…"

"Hey!" Dave yells, shoving Paul away from Nikki, "leave her alone!"

Paul glares at Nikki and Nikki steps behind Dave. Paul grumbles something before storming away. Nikki looks up at Dave and rubs her arm.

"Are you ok?" Dave asks, concern filling his eyes.

"Yeah, I'll be fine," Nikki replies with a smile.

Dave licks his lips and steps closer to Nikki, closing the gap between them. She can feel the heat from his body and he runs his fingers down her cheek.

"You sure your ok?" Dave asks only softer this time.

Nikki nods slightly and he leans down, but before their lips touch, the door flies open, causing the two to jump apart.

"What's Paul's problem?" Ric asks, sitting down on the couch.

"He has that cage match tonight, and he tried to take it out on Nik," Dave explains, sitting next to Ric.

"That's not right," Ric shakes his head, "hey, we need to talk."

"About what?" Dave asks, crossing his arms across his chest.

"Hafta wait till Paul gets back. Sorry Nik, you'll have to leave," Ric says with a smile.

"That's fine. I'll be out in the hall," Nikki walks out of the room as Paul walks in.

Nikki sits down on a crate across the hall and she sees Shawn Michaels walking down that hall.

"Hey doll," Shawn says with a smirk, "we haven't met. I'm Shawn Michaels."

"Nikki Andrews, I'm Evolution's assistant," Nikki replies, shaking his hand.

Shawn makes a face that causes Nikki to laugh.

"They treating you ok?" He asks, leaning against the crate.

"I guess. Ric and Dave are nice, but Paul rubs me the wrong way," she admits, shrugging, " oh well."

Dave steps out of the room and glares at Shawn.

"I better leave before this gets bad," Shawn stands up and smile at Nikki, "if you need anything, just give me a holler. See you."

Dave watches Shawn walk away and turns to Nikki. She slides off the crate and smiles at him.

"How'd the "secret" meeting go?" She asks.

"Uh…. Fine. Tonight will be a night no one forgets," Dave replies, thinking about what was said at the meeting.

Raw

Dave, Ric, Paul, and Nikki stand in the back, watching Benoit talk about tonight's matches.

"This is crap!" Paul states angrily, turning to the others.

"Hey champ, they threw everything at us last week, and you still walked away the champ. We have your back," Ric says, placing a hand on Paul's shoulder.

"Yeah man. We've got your back," Dave speaks up, causing Paul to turn to him.

"You've got my back!" Paul yells, " you're here for one reason. At Survivor Series, I told you to make sure we won, but that didn't work out so well, just like last week. Now I have Benoit in a cage match and you have my back? Well excuse me if I'm not excited about it!"

"You need to calm down," Dave says, turning to walk away.

"Where the hell are you going?" Paul demands pulling him back.

"I need to get ready for my match tonight with Jericho," Dave replies, glancing at Nikki.

"100 bucks says you lose that too!" Paul states as Dave glares at him.

Dave stalks off leaving Ric, Paul, and Nikki. Ric follows Paul and Nikki watches both Paul and Dave leave.

"Dave, wait!" Nikki calls out, running after him.

Dave stops and waits till Nikki catches up with him.

"Who the hell does Paul think he is?" Dave states angrily.

"Don't worry about what he said," Nikki comforts, "he's upset at the fact he has a cage match. He's not mad at you."

"Bull shit, he wants a fight, I'll give him one," Dave walks off, leaving Nikki alone in the hallway.

"This isn't going to be good."

Later

Nikki's sitting in an empty locker room and she sees Dave on the TV, stretching. Ric walks up to him and he stands up, towering over the older man.

"H, didn't mean what he said," Ric says.

"No, he meant it, and if he thinks he can talk to me like that again, he's dead, DEAD, wrong," Dave threatens before they head to the ring.

Dave's music plays and he comes out with Ric. Paul enters the locker room and sees Nikki all alone. He smirks and sits extremely close to her. She turns to look at him and he moves closer as she scoots away. Chris's music plays and he walks out, starting the match. They lock up and Dave backs Chris into the corner. He then whips him into the opposite corner and works on him. Chris hits a springboard dropkick to knock Dave outside. Chris climbs the top rope and hits Dave with a crossbody. Chris throws him back into the ring and hits him with another crossbody, then covers him to get a two count.

"Come on Dave!" Nikki cheers as Paul tries to put an arm around her shoulders.

She shrugs it off, turning back to the TV. Dave goes for a powerbomb, but Chris reverses it into a sunset flip for another 2 count. Ric jumps up onto the mat and distracts Chris. When he turns around, he walks into a spinebuster. Dave puts Chris in a hold and won't let go, causing the ref to ring the bell.

"Here is your winner, Chris Jericho!" Lillian announces, but Dave still won't release the hold.

He finally stands up and watches Chris struggle to get up. When Chris gets to his feet, Dave gives him a huge clothesline and stands over Chris's body. Paul smiles smugly and looks at Nikki.

"I guess he owes me 100 bucks," Paul says with a chuckle.

"Ugh, shut up!" Nikki states, standing up and walking out of the room.

Paul follows her and he sees Dave at the end of the hall. He starts clapping and smirks when Dave stops in front of him. Nikki stands next to Dave and shakes her head at Paul.

"Where's my money?" Paul asks, as he stops clapping.

"The bottom line is Jericho is being carried out and I walked out," Dave replies coldly.

"No the bottom line is that you blew it, you lost. The problem is you have a million dollar body and a 10 cent brain," Paul states angrily, "I need someone I can rely on, so maybe I should find someone."

"Screw you!" Dave spits out, grabbing Nikki by the arm and storming off.

"Go talk to him," Paul says to Ric.

"With all due respect, you better back off," Ric replies, walking after Dave.

"Dave! Calm down!" Nikki winces as his grip tightens, "you're hurting me."

Dave stops and Nikki almost runs into him. He turns to her and she can see the hurt and anger in his eyes.

"I'm sorry," Dave says, dropping her arm, "I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm just so pissed at Paul."

"Dave!" Ric calls out, running up to him, "we have to stick together. Evolution can't fall apart."

"I'm sick of waiting for my time and maybe one day I'll be as great as Triple H said, but at what price?"

Dave walks away and Nikki follows.

"Dave please, just calm down!" Nikki pleads, running after Dave.

"I've had enough, this is going to be my night," Dave says, "can you get me a water."

"Yeah, sure. I'll meet you back at the locker room."

Dave nods and Nikki walks away. She walks into catering and Courtney rushes up to her.

"What's going on?" Courtney asks, grabbing her arm.

"I honestly don't know," Nikki admits grabbing a water, "but I have to get back to Dave before he does something stupid."

Nikki walks down the hall and she sees Dave fly out of the locker room with Ric yelling after him.

"Have you lost your damn mind!" Ric yells after Dave.

Dave grabs Nikki's hand and drags her after him.

"What did you do?" Nikki questions.

"I took care of business," Dave says shortly, stopping before they reach the doors that lead to the parking lot, "Paul's flat on his face, unconscious."

Nikki gasps and Dave turns to the monitor to see Paul on the ground. They watch as Adam and Benoit have a confrontation and they head to the ring, for the newly announced cage match. At the end of the match, Ric runs up to Nikki and Dave.

"Listen man, H is on his feet and you better get the hell out of here," Ric warns, glancing at Nikki, "you too."

"Forget it! I'm going to the ring and Triple H better come out because I'm going to finish what I started," Dave replies, "and you better decide who's side your on!"

Dave walks away and Nikki turns to Ric.

"Go to the locker room and promise me you'll stick by Dave no matter what happens," Ric says, and then quickly runs after Dave.

Nikki heads to the locker room and when she gets to it, she turns on the TV to see Paul walking down the ramp as Ric tries to restrain him. Paul gets into the ring and they stand nose to nose as Ric tries to pull them apart.

"Batista, I've got one thing to say to you…" Paul starts, glaring at Dave, "nice work!"

Paul and Dave smile, and then hug. Nikki looks like she's just been slapped in the face. Ric hands a wad of bills to the "doctor".

"He was worth every penny," Paul laughs, "this was a great plan and everyone bought it; hook, line, and sinker. Batista deserves the MVP award! Better yet, he deserves an academy award, or a slammy! You still should've beaten Jericho."

Dave stops laughing, and suddenly Randy's music plays.

"I will be the GM of Raw next week. I'm going to give you two options, HHH. 1- you and I will face off one-on- one. If I win the title stipulation will be lifted."

"Nobody wants to see that," Paul says, "I don't think that'll happen."

"Ok, so since you didn't chose number 1, you'll take number 2 and fight everyone in the back!" Randy smirks as ½ the locker room comes out, "there will be a battle royal involving the raw locker room, Flair, Batista, and Triple H.

Paul curses as Dave smirks.

"Oh, and it's for the world heavyweight title!"

Raw goes off the air and Nikki shakes her head.

"I can't believe that," Nikki whispers, "he lied to me."

She can hear Ric, Dave, and Paul coming down the hall. The door opens, and they walk in, laughing.

"Great job. They're all a bunch of idiots," Paul laughs as Nikki's expression turns to stone.

Dave smiles at her but she doesn't return. She stands and walks over to the three men.

"You all are a bunch of selfish, no good, lying assholes!" Nikki yells, "especially you Paul."

She turns on her heels and walks out of the room as Paul shrugs.

"Women. Hey! Where are you going!" Paul asks as Dave rushes out of the room.

"Nikki! Please stop!" Dave pleads as Nikki stops and glares at him.

"What do you want?" She asks angrily.

"I'm sorry!" Dave says walking up to her.

"You're sorry! I can't believe I fell for you and your crap," Nikki scoffs, "you self-centered son of a…."

Dave shoves Nikki against the wall and his lips crash down on hers. She gasps but then kisses him back. Nikki wraps her arms around his neck and he lifts her up. She wraps her legs around his waist as he deepens the kiss. His lips break from hers and they slowly kiss their way down to her neck. Dave nips at her neck and she gasps. He smirks against her skin and sucks on that spot slowly. She thrusts her hips forward and he groans, looking deep into her eyes. She can see the hunger and lust in his eyes as his lips lower onto hers once again.
