Chapter 17 – Advice
"Hey Jeff, you wouldn't happen to know where Charlie is, would you?" Nikki asked the colourful superstar as he opened up the door to his locker room.
"Char, Nik wants you . . . " He shouted as he turned back around to look into the room . . . moments later a blonde appeared beside him.
"Am I missing something?" The brunette asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Nope." Charlie grinned.
"Girls, I'm going to have to leave you to it, my match is next. Feel free to chill in my locker room though." Jeff smiled as he began to walk off.
"Good luck, babe!" Charlie shouted after him, receiving an amused smirk from the brunette.
"What?" The blonde asked grinning as she made her way back into the room and took a seat on the sofa.
"It seems to me, that you and Jeff are getting along pretty well." The brunette smiled as she took a seat on the opposite sofa.
"We are, he's amazing Nik, he really is . . . we're just taking it slow though, you know?" The New Diva replied, practically glowing.
"I'm so happy for you Char, Jeff's a great guy." Nikki smiled.
"Yeah . . . anyway babe, enough about me, what did you want me for?"
Nikki looked over towards the blonde to see a smile still on her face. The brunette didn't want to ruin Charlie's happy mood but there was no one else she could talk to about her situation.
"It's . . . it's about me and John . . . " The brunette began with a sigh.
"Wait . . . it's not that I don't mind helping you out but, how come you're not talking to Skye about this?" Charlie asked confused.
"Well err . . . we kind of had an argument . . . " She stuttered.
"Oh babe, I'm so sorry. What was it about?" The blonde asked sympathetically.
"Well I guess you already know that she had an argument with Randy last week at the club and ever since then she's been trying to avoid him." Nikki stopped for breath as the blonde nodded for her to continue. "What you don't know . . . is that John and I nearly kissed again at the club . . ."
"You did?" Charlie asked, her eyes growing wide. "What stopped you?"
"Randy did . . . because of the argument. I could live with the fact that we'd been interrupted again but, not with the fact that every time I've seen John since then, Skye has dragged me away."
"But she didn't know about you two, did she?"
"No, because all she cares about is herself, Char. This past week has been unbearable, all she's done is moan about herself, I've had to do what she wanted . . . so eventually, I snapped and we got into an argument . . ." She finished with yet another sigh.
"Babe, come here . . . " Charlie replied sympathetically as she gave the brunette a comforting hug. "So, have you spoken to John now that you're free from Skye?" She asked as they pulled away.
"That's the thing, I just left the canteen and for the first time since we nearly kissed we could have talked about it alone but, I bailed."
"You what?" The blonde asked raising an eyebrow. "Nikki, look . . ."
"But . . . " The brunette began.
"No buts Nik. When somebody cares about you as much as John does for you, you need to take a chance, babe. You can't run away from your feelings . . . and from what I've seen, you're feelings are pretty much telling you that you're whipped."
"You have no idea." Nikki grinned.
"Well then, what are you still sat here for?" Charlie laughed.
"You know what, I have no idea." The brunette grinned as she quickly ran over to the door.
"Oh and, Charlie?" She began as she poked her head back into the room.
"What?"
"Thank you!" She smiled.
"You're welcome, now go!" The blonde laughed yet again.
Nikki gave Charlie one last grin before shutting the door and quickly making her way down the corridor and back towards the canteen. Luckily for the brunette, John had not moved from his spot and was now sat listening to his iPod with his eyes closed as he slouched against the wall. Nikki let out a smirk at how cute he looked as she approached him. Realising that it was now or never, she quickly sat down in the empty seat beside him and pulled out one of his headphones shortly after.
"Nikki . . . hey." John said in a shocked tone as he gave her a small smirk.
"Hey . . . " The brunette replied quietly.
"How are you?"
"I'm okay I guess, fed up with Skye and Randy not talking though." Nikki replied with a sigh.
"Yeah I know, it's so . . . awkward."
"Tell me about it . . . " The brunette added, not knowing what to say next.
"So err, maybe we should talk about, you know . . . us." John stuttered quietly.
"Yeah, that's kinda the reason I'm here . . ." Nikki replied, suddenly becoming wary of the people passing. "But not here, can it be somewhere a little more private?"
"Of course princess, got anywhere in mind?"
"Not really . . ."
"Well, there's a public park just down the road from our hotel, what about that?" John suggested.
"Yeah, that'll be fine. I'll meet you there at, let's say 11 tomorrow morning?" Nikki asked.
"That's fine with me." John smirked.
"Okay well, I'll see you then." The brunette grinned back brightly.
"Alright princess, take care." John nodded with a small smile as Nikki stood up to leave.
"Nik?" The WWE Champion shouted as she began to walk away, causing her to spin back around to see what he had to say.
"Don't worry about Randy and Skye, okay? We'll sort it all eventually." He replied with a comforting smile, melting Nikki's heart with his dimples.
"I won't, be careful." She replied with a polite smile.
"You too." John finished as the brunette finally walked away, a big grin plastered over her face.
Now in an extremely happy mood, Nikki made her way back towards Jeff's locker room and yet again knocked on the door.
"How'd it go?" Charlie asked the moment she opened up the door.
"Well, we're meeting up tomorrow and I plan on telling him everything." The brunette smirked. "But, don't get your hopes up just yet, we don't know what John has to say for himself. I just wanted to come back and thank you for listening to me and giving me your advice."
"You're welcome babe, anytime." The blonde smiled.
"Okay well, I'll catch you later." Nikki finished as she began to walk away.
"Let me know how things go tomorrow!" Charlie shouted after her.
"Will do!" The brunette grinned as she walked backwards down the hallway, still facing the blonde.
Finally spinning back around to walk properly, Nikki didn't notice the Rainbow Haired Warrior right behind her and accidently bumped into him as he made his way back from his match.
"Woah, sorry Jeff." She grinned.
"It's alright Nik, everything sorted now?" He asked.
"Yeah well, apart from you and Char. I want you to do me a big, big favour and give it a go with her Jeffy. Personally, I believe that you guys would make a perfect couple and plus, I can tell you both like each other." The brunette grinned, not waiting for an answer as she yet again continued on her way.
She had to repay Charlie for the advice some how, what better way than helping her out with Jeff? She just hoped that the new Divas advice was going to do the job, and that she did the right thing by following it . . . she was going to find out soon enough.
