A/N: Thank you for the reviews, favs, and follows loves! It means a lot!

"I know. I really couldn't believe it when it happened." Aj Mendez stated. Her eyes were glowing as she showed her engagement ring off. "I keep forgetting I'm losing my championship to Paige after Mania." She looked up to Nicole apologetically.

"It's beautiful. Makes me think if I'll ever find someone." Nicole smiled and looked down as she finished lacing her boots up, not bothering to respond to the last bit of information.

"You will. Speaking of, you talk to Joe?" The older woman looked on curiously.

"Not since he got back with his ex last week." Nicole rolled her eyes as she responded. She bowed her head, keeping her eyes on Aj.

"I knew that was coming." The Divas champion shook her head in disapproval. "You need to go out. We're both off tomorrow, lets go out tonight." Desperation dripped from every word.

"Come on, it's time for me to kick your ass." Aj laughed as the duo walked out of the door.

"Is it just us tonight?" The taller of the two asked.

"I guess. I haven't talked to anyone else. Wanna make nice with Joe and ask him to come along?" Aj asked, readjusting the belt on her shoulder.

"Yeah, just not the Joe you're talking about." Nicole smiled over to Aj, receiving a disapproving look.

"He's married, no." It was Nicole's turn to look disapprovingly.

"It's only as friends."

"No."

"Fine. Fandango." A hand flew to her hip as she gave another suggestion.

"No. Can't stand more than 10 minutes with him."

"Come on Aj. I don't talk to anyone else really." Nicole looked at her friend desperately.

"We talk to the same people! Huber, Good, Rotunda. They're not doing anything tomorrow. Or how about nobody?" Her hand flew up, trying to get her point across.

"I hear my name?" The two women turned to see the eavesdropper.

"What's up big man?" Aj was the first to greet one third of the cynical Wyatt family. After a hug from the large man, he turned towards Nicole and put her in a headlock.

"Can't you give me a normal hug?" Nicole broke free from Jon's grasp and lightly pushed his chest.

"Don't be a bitch." He laughed seeing the look on her face, soon wrapping his arms around her.

"You joining the Wyatt's?" His bright smile cast in her direction as he looked at her clothes, turning her a bit to get a good look. "Or you going to a slutty hoe down?" Jon grabbed his arm laughing as her fist connected with his arm.

"Shut the hell up. I'm not inviting you anymore." Aj just stood back, laughing.

"Where? I wanna go. I haven't had off in God knows how long." The joking died down as he question the women in front of him. Nicole looked to Aj for an answer.

"Just a little café. Relax, have a coffee, bullshit. Nothing major." Jon shook his head in approval.

"Your fiancé gonna come?" He inquired as he grabbed her hand to examine her ring.

"Yup. He's in town until tomorrow, so trying to see as much of him as possible. I need to go call him real quick actually. Meet me at gorilla in a few?" Aj waved and walked away.

"Joe coming?" The large man smirked as Nicole rolled her eyes at him.

"I'm just fucking with you. You're gonna forget about him tonight." He nudged her, causing a slight laugh.

"I already did." An awkward look twisted onto her face.

"I'll call you after I settle into the hotel." He placed a hand on her shoulder, and they soon parted ways.

Xoxoxo

"`You'll never take my title. I'm the savior of the womens division. You're just gonna be another notch on my belt." Aj mocked Jenna as she lay on the mat, clutching her stomach.

The Divas Champ grabbed the long dark hair of her opponent in a cynical manner, and threw her to the mat again. A groan escaped Jenna's lips as she clawed for the ropes, trying to pull her body up. As planned, Aj went for her again, this time receiving a swift kick to the abdomen. It caused the woman to fall flat on her ass. She played it a bit exaggerative. Jenna took that extra bit of time to look out into the audience. They were actually cheering for her. She stumbled a bit before she turned her attention back to Aj. As she picked the smaller woman up, she whispered to her.

"Black widow, I tap." A hushed and hurried voice spilled from Jenna's mouth.

Soon after, Aj did a modified hurricanrana, and buckled in her patented finisher.

"Tap! Tap!" Obliging, Jenna hurriedly slapped Aj on the thigh, signaling the end of the match. The sound of the bell filled the ears of the fans in attendance, earning a few cheers and a few jeers.

Aj celebrated with her bodyguard for a bit before starting for the locker rooms.

"You'll never get this!" Aj yelled as she held her championship up, walking backwards up the ramp. Jenna crawled to the ropes and picked herself up just enough to hold on to the middle one.

"It's mine. Just wait!" She yelled back at the champ. "You're not gonna know what hit you!"

Xoxoxo

"Can't break them from their love bird ways, huh?" Jon stared at the couple in front of him. He turned towards Nicole for a response.

"Makes me sick." The raven haired beauty leaned her elbows on the table, and leaned her head towards the man next to her, her eyebrows in a disproving manner.

"You still getting the title?" Jon asked her, sincerely. He watched on, not missing the hint of bitterness in her movements.

"No. Paige is getting called up." He just nodded, not wanting to go down a negative path. She continued, "Not that it's a big deal, ya know? I'm just tired of everything not going in my favor."

"I'm guessing that doesn't just have one meaning?" The Wyatt family member asked, already knowing the answer. He stared into Nicole's eyes, only to return what she was doing to him. She quickly looked down.

"I don't wanna talk about it. It was a stupid rookie mistake, trying to find happiness in the wrong person." Her eyebrows scrunched and her head cocked, trying to get out the words that she was feeling.

"I completely understand. What about the other two that are in love with you?" He questioned, trying to lighten the mood a bit. He received a side look from the woman in front of him.

"Just flirting. That's it. One is married, and one is fucking their valet." As the words left her mouth, the man broke out into laughter.

"It's the truth!" She exclaimed. Her antics died down as she realized Jon turned serious.

"I've known you since our indy days, Nicole. People like Joe, and all the other fucking people, don't realize what they're missing." He placed his hand over hers in a reassuring manner. She glanced at their hands before smiling up at him.

"So, if I'm such a great person, why haven't you asked me out?" Her eyebrow raised in curiosity. She watched on as he sighed and squeezed her hand a bit.

"You'll fall in love with me." Jon gazed at her before the duo burst out laughing.

"You can never be serious. I don't know how you portray Luke Harper." Nicole smiled as she stared at him. He rubbed his thumb over her hand.

"What's that supposed to mean?" The smile left his face, in a teasing manner.

Ignoring his question, she turned to the other two people at the table.

"Done with the lovey dovey shit?" Aj and Phil turned their attention to the inquiring brunette.

"I could ask you the same question." Phil smirked once he realized a blush formed on Nicole's cheek.

"No, no I don't think we are." Jon pulled her chair closer to him and wrapped his arm around her mid section.

"Would you stop crazy?" Nicole pulled out of his grasp and laughed along with him.

"See? This is what you needed! To have a little fun and relax!" Aj stated excitedly. Nicole smiled and nodded her head, before looking back at the heavily bearded man.

"I need you around more often then, huh?" She wiggled her eyebrows a bit causing another laugh from the man.

"Alright guys, I'm gonna get little missy back to the hotel." Phil's voice broke through the air.

"Don't get pregnant." Nicole pointed the statement towards Aj. In response, she received a middle finger.

"Nice seeing you man." Jon stood and shook the older mans hand.

"I'll be around a little more now. See you guys." Phil lightly hugged Nicole as he bid his goodbye.

"See you later!" Nicole looked on as the couple walked out of the café.

"Wanna head back too?" She turned to the large man.

"Yeah, lets go." He replied as he took some money from his wallet and threw it on the table.

The duo headed through the glass doors leading to the pavement outside. Nicole reached in her pocketbook and pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. She handed the pack to Jon and he plucked one out.

"Thank you for coming. Aj was right. I needed to get away from the ring for a little while. With Mania coming up, everybody has been nothing but busy." Nicole was the first to speak.

"You know that's the fucking truth." A slight chuckle escaped his lips. He continued, "And don't thank me. You know I love spending time with you. Listen, Joe getting back with his, whatever she is, is a blessing in disguise. You would have been in a bunch of bullshit drama. If it's meant to be, it'll be. I don't mean to bring it up again, but just had to get it out there." The sexy brunette looked over to the large man. He lifted his cigarette to his lips with the hand furthest from her. A smile broke out on her face. She reached down and placed her hand in his. Again she looked up at him. She saw the confusion in his features as his head snapped in her direction.

"Thank you. For everything. You're truly my best friend. Like I said, I need to keep you around more." Nicole winked up at him. As his response, he offered a reassuring squeeze.
