Chapter 18 – Reading Minds
Nikki woke the next morning to look around at her empty room. She had decided the best thing for her to do would be to have her own hotel room as she couldn't face another argument with Skye but, waking up to peace and quiet was something she really wasn't used to.
Taking a glance at her alarm clock beside her bed, her eyes grew wide as she realised what time it was. 10.15am, meaning she only had forty five minutes to be ready and at the park to meet John. Jumping out of her bed she picked up the nearest pile of clothes and ran into the bathroom for a record time shower.
Half an hour later the brunette had finished getting ready and, seeing as it was better to be early than late, she decided to make her way to the park. So far she had been pretty cool about what she was about to do but now that she was on her way there, she began to get worried. What if John rejected her? What if he didn't feel the same way? What if he left her heartbroken?
Walking through the entrance of the public park with these thoughts still running through her mind, she didn't expect John to already be there. She stopped in her tracks as she took in the site before her. A small smile reached her lips as she watched the man she cared for as he gazed at a huge water fountain, his facial expression showing that he was also deep in thought.
The brunette took a deep breath as she walked up beside John, who was completely oblivious to her being there as he was so lost in whatever was going on in his brain. Nikki let out a small cough, bringing the WWE Champion out of his daydream as he turned to face her, a big grin on his face as he realised who it was.
"Hey beautiful." He smiled.
"Hey John." Nikki grinned back nervously.
"So err, I . . . erm . . . " John stuttered.
The brunette found the WWE Champion lost for words unbearably cute and without realising what she was doing, she grabbed the back of his head and pulled him in for a passionate kiss, something that she had been craving for since the day she had met him. Nikki pulled away moments later in realization of what she had just done.
"I'm so, so sorry . . . " She began, but was interrupted as John's lips yet again locked with hers.
Minutes passed as their lips stayed locked together, only breaking away when they needed breath.
"Does this mean what I think it does?" John grinned as he held on to the brunette's petite waist.
"I don't know Mr. Cena, what are you thinking?" Nikki smirked as she held onto his strong arms.
"Well, I'm thinking that you look damn sexy right now." He laughed, causing the brunette to roll her eyes.
"What makes you think I think you're sexy?" The brunette asked, trying her best to keep a serious face.
"Well I dunno, maybe it was that kiss you gave me." John shrugged with a small smirk.
"Damn, gave it away, huh?" Nikki asked, grinning brightly.
"So that means . . . " John began, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes John!" Nikki laughed. "It means that I'm willing to give us a go . . . that's of course, if you want to." She replied, the last part becoming quieter as her eyes found the floor.
John gave the brunette a small smile as he lifted her chin to look him in the eyes, before moving closer to her and placing a sweet, love filled kiss on her lips.
"There's nothing else I'd rather have, Nik." John whispered as he pulled away and rested his forehead against hers.
"Good, because you're the only thing I want too." Nikki grinned brightly as she gave him another kiss, John sweeping her up off the floor and spinning her around.
"Well, expect for ice cream, that is." The brunette laughed as he placed her back down on the floor.
"You're making me spend already?" He asked playfully, raising an eyebrow.
"Yep." Is all Nikki replied with as she grinned yet again.
"Damn girl, you're gonna be hard work." He sighed as he took hold of the brunette's hand and led her towards an ice cream truck that was located in the park.
"Well think of it as a good thing, you'll never get bored." She smiled innocently.
"You've got that right." John laughed as he ordered 2 cornets.
"Thank you, babe." Nikki said politely as he passed hers over and they yet again joined hands as they began to walk down a random path full of beautiful flowers.
"So, what are we going to do about Skye and Randy?" John asked.
"I really don't know." The brunette replied with a sigh.
"Well, have you talked to Skye about it?" He asked.
Nikki's eyes grew wide as she realised she hadn't told John about her and Skye's argument. With more important things to think about between the two, it had completely left her mind.
"Err well, about that . . . we kind of, had an argument." The brunette replied with an innocent smile.
"About what?" John asked, confused at what the best friends would fall out about.
"Just something petty, plus, I couldn't take her moaning about Randy anymore." Nikki said, missing out the part about John.
"Oh . . . I guess you won't be going back to tell her the news then?" He asked.
"I guess not . . . even if we hadn't had the argument, I still don't think I'd be able to tell her. Her heart is broken right now, she doesn't need me turning up and telling her that I've finally got my guy." She sighed.
"Well, I'm happy to keep this quiet until you've sorted things out, if you want?" John asked, glancing over to the brunette.
"Yeah, I think that'd be best. Thank you John." Nikki grinned as she leant in against his huge frame as they reached a small pond.
"Aww duck, I want one!" The brunette cooed as a little duckling swam past.
"Oh god, I can see you costing me a fortune." John sighed playfully as he rolled his eyes, causing Nikki to laugh.
Nikki finally had the man of her dreams, everything was coming into place . . . apart from one small part of her life that was doing the opposite. One small part was falling apart, her friendship with Skye. She was going to have to sort this out soon or everything would come crashing down, again.
