Chapter 15 – Confessions

"Wow, you look gorgeous Nik." John grinned at her as she and Skye finally made their way into the lobby.

The brunette was dressed in a pair of black jeans and a simple red tank top, while the blonde was dressed in a denim mini skirt and a white halter top.

"Thanks John, you don't look so bad yourself." She blushed as she checked out the WWE Champion in his army print combats and white jersey.

"Hey guys." Jeff grinned at the four as he walked over to us, his date for the night on his arm.

"Charlie?" Skye asked, her jaw dropping to the floor.

"Heya!" She practically squealed, causing the other 5 to laugh.

"You guys coming with us as well then?" Randy asked as he gave Skye a quick peck.

"Yeah, if that's okay." Jeff asked.

"Of course it is, man." John grinned at the colourful superstar.

"Okay so, you all ready?" Randy asked.

With nods and a few yes' from the rest of the group, all of the superstars made their way outside but, seeing as there was now too many of them to fit into a taxi, they decided to walk as the club was nearby.

As Skye, Randy and Jeff became entwined in talk, Charlie, John and Nikki decided to drop back a little and start a conversation of their own.

"Well, well, look at Mr. Handsome over there." Charlie grinned over to John.

"Thanks babe, you don't look so bad yourself." John winked back, causing Nikki to raise her eyebrow at the both of them.

"What?" They asked in unison.

"I'm sorry, am I interrupting something?" The brunette asked with a small smile as she stood in between them both, looking from one to the other.

"Well yeah but I interrupted you two earlier so it's only fair." Charlie grinned, causing the other two to turn a lovely shade of red.

"Thanks Charlie." Nikki glared at the blonde who grinned back innocently.

"So, what's with you and Jeff?" John asked, changing the subject.

"Well thanks to this amazing bitch right here, we got to know each other and within the course of a few hours we had already clicked so, he asked me out on a date." She replied happily with a shrug. "And speaking of Jeffy, I better go see him." She grinned yet again before skipping off in front.

"You introduced them?" John asked.

"Yeah, I knew that she liked him so why not? They deserve happiness."

"Yeah, that's cool." He replied with a small smirk towards the brunette.

"Hey now, Carlito." Nikki grinned.

"Haha, very funny." John replied sarcastically while rolling his eyes before eventually laughing at the brunette's comment and wrapping an arm over her shoulder as they caught up with the others.

Making their way inside the club shortly after, they quickly found an empty table and made their selves comfortable as Skye and John told the other's they would get the first round. Jeff and Charlie were already in deep conversation, leaving The Legend Killer and the brunette to talk.

"So Nik, when are you finally going to give Johnny boy what he wants?" Randy grinned.

"I have no idea what you're talking about Randy." She replied, trying her best to hide the small smile creeping up the side of her mouth.

"Come on babe, you know as well as I do that he's got it bad for you."

"He has?" Nikki asked, a little shocked.

"You didn't know?" He asked, seeming rather amused at the fact that she hadn't noticed what was practically right in front of her face.

"No, he told me there was a girl that he was crazy for though." The brunette replied, now confused.

"News flash shorty, it's you who he's crazy about." He smiled.

A grin grew on the brunette's face but, just as she was about to reply she was interrupted by the return of her best friend and John with the first lot of drinks.

"Orange juice for you, princess." John grinned as he placed the drink down on the table before taking a seat next to Nikki.

"Thank you." The brunette beamed at the Champ before turning her attention back towards Randy who winked at her.

"Babe, you wanna dance?" He asked Skye.

"Sure, you coming Nik?"

"No it's okay; I think I'll give this one a miss." The brunette replied.

The blonde gave her friend a small smile before asking the same question to Charlie and Jeff. Randy quickly leant closer to Nikki so only she could hear what he was about to say.

"Seize the moment." He whispered before leading his girlfriend over to the dance floor, the new Diva and Jeff following shortly after.

Awkward silence followed as both Nikki and John had no idea how to start the conversation. Now that the brunette knew she was the one he was crazy about, she didn't think she'd be able to have a conversation with John without diving on him and ripping his clothes off . . . there was only one possible thing that they could talk about that would stop her from doing that.

"Nikki?" John asked quietly.

"Hmm?" She asked, taking a sip of her drink.

"I . . . I think that maybe, maybe now would be the best time to tell you why I was such a bastard to you." He said, this time barely above a whisper as he stared into the brunette's eyes, sadness filling his.

"Are you sure? I really don't mind if you . . . " Nikki began.

"No Nik, you deserve to know." John replied with a small smile.

"Okay well, take your time." The brunette replied with a reassuring smile as she took hold of his hand to comfort him.

"Alright, well." He began as he let out a big sigh. "I'd been dating my girlfriend, Ella, for around 2 years and we were deadly serious so, about 3 months ago I proposed to her and she said yes. A few days later after Raw, we were driving up to Mass to tell my parents about being engaged when . . . " He stopped, letting out another sigh as he looked back up into the brunette's eyes.

"It's okay John." Nikki reassured, stroking his had with her thumb who gave her a small nod before continuing.

"We had a car accident. Some drunk ran into us, I tried my best to swerve away but it was too late. I don't really remember what happened after that because it was so fast but, the next thing I remember was waking up in hospital and being told . . . being told that Ella didn't make it." He finished as a stray tear ran down his cheek.

"Oh John . . . " Nikki replied, tears falling freely down her face as she moved over to the WWE Champion and hugged him tightly.

"So you see, the reason I was so horrible to you when we first met was because . . . because you look just like her." He spoke as he slowly pulled away from the hug but still holding the brunette close to him, their foreheads touching.

Nikki was shocked by John's confession and suddenly felt guilt rush over her as she thought back to how horrible she had been to him about treating her like that when she didn't even know the real reason. Not only had his fiancée been killed, she had looked just like her. Knowing now that he had told her this, he would probably want to move onto the next step, she realised that she would have to tell him her biggest secret too.

"John I . . . maybe I should tell you the reason why I hate being called Nicola before we move on." She told him as she moved her head away from his so she could look him directly in the eyes.

"Okay." He nodded, returning the favour as he took her hand in his.

"Up until I was 7 I had the perfect childhood, and when I say perfect I really mean it. I had the most amazing parent's in the world who loved each other so much, they would never argue; I had everything that I ever wanted . . . that was until I found out that my Dad had cancer. They gave him 6 months to live and within 4, he was gone." The brunette began.

"I'm so sorry princess." John replied sincerely, kissing her forehead.

"It's okay, we always have to lose someone eventually, it's a part of life. I accepted that fact even when I was little but, my Mum on the other hand did not. After Daddy died, things were different between us. She didn't spend any time with me, she left me to come home by myself from school, sometimes she would stay out all night and leave me by myself, it was just like she had given up caring." Nikki continued, a hint of disgust in her voice.

"A few months later she came home one morning and told me that she had found a new man . . . a new man that didn't want anything to do with kids. So, instead of being a mother and accepting the fact that she'd just have to keep looking for the right one, she told me that this was her last chance and she was 'sorry' for what she was going to do."

"She left you, didn't she?" John asked quietly.

The brunette replied with a small nod as yet more tears began to run down her face. She had never had to tell this to someone before and it was harder than she thought.

"She told me that I should be grateful that she had asked Skye's parents to take me in. Since the day she left, I've never seen or heard from her since and I don't want to. I despise her, Nicola is the name that was given to me by her and that's why I can't stand to be called it. My name was the only thing that she had given me and she didn't even deserve that, she didn't give a shit about her own child so why should I have given a shit about what she wanted. The moment I moved in with Skye's family Nicola died and Nikki was born." She finished.

"So, Skye's Mum and Dad raised you?" John asked, wiping a stray tear from her face with his thumb.

"Yeah, like their own. There was nothing that Skye got that I didn't. As far as I'm concerned, they're my real parents." Nikki replied with a shrug and a small smile.

"Come here." John sighed, pulling her in for a hug.

The brunette closed her eyes as she rested her head on John's shoulder, taking in the smell of his aftershave. What was she doing? The man that she had only dreamed of meeting was crazy about her and she was doing nothing about it.

"John . . . " She whispered, pulling out of the hug but staying close.

The WWE Champion knew what Nikki wanted without her even having to say. Without speaking a word, he stroked the side of her face and slowly moved in closer as their lips yet again brushed . . .

"DAMN IT!" Randy shouted as he walked over and punched the wall beside them, causing both Nikki and John to jump.

"What's wrong man?" John asked.

"It's . . .
