Chapter 2

Nicole was going insane, Seth was consuming her thoughts and he was coming up with more creative ways to get close to her without anyone knowing. First it was leaving messages in her snapbacks as they sat in wardrobe telling her that she was the prettiest diva. Then it was sending her wine to the hotel rooms when she was away from John, leaving little notes with the bottles reminding her that one day they would be sharing these bottles together naked. It was one afternoon a few weeks after their confrontation when he made another move.

She was sitting in catering with Brie going over their promos when he walked past her without even a glance in her direction. This was usual, although people knew that they were friends she didn't want to give them a reason to speak about her. He was wearing skinny jeans that she swore were painted on. He was speaking to Dean, and she noticed he stopped for a moment so she had a clear view of his ass. She felt her phone vibrate on the table as she looked down.

Text from Seth "you told me I couldn't wear my leather anymore but you never said anything about my skinny jeans"

Her eyes trailed up and down his backside, He noticed Dean drop a pen on the ground and Seth slowly bent over to grab it.

Text from Nicole "Now i can't concentrate on my script, good job"

Text from Seth "I'm a tease...i'm not really all that sorry. Trust me these are my loose jeans ;)"

Text from Nicole "you shouldnt be, I like I, are you sure your balls aren't blue?"

Text from Seth "I don't know why don't you come and check them out for yourself. I'm sure you wouldn't leave them blue wouldn't you Nicole?"

Nicole could feel the heat, her cheeks turning red as she attempted to conceal her desire.

"Are you okay Nicole" Brie asked "Your face is turning really red"

"Yeah I'm just hot, it's really hot in here, I think im ready to go to makeup aren't you" Nicole stood up rapidly, knocking the chair to the floor causing a bunch of people to stare, Nicole looked around picking up the chair quickly.

"I just really had to pee" She announced moving past the other tables towards the restrooms, she brushed past Seth & Dean, ignoring their snickers.

Text from Seth "Glad to know I have that effect on you"

Text from Nicole "Oh shut up"

Today was the day when John was leaving for his movie. John was off to film sex scenes with god knows who and Nicole would be moving on to things without him. She was planning on meeting with the Authority to discuss her future. She was hoping to be thrown into the divas title picture, she had worked harder than ever before, staying long hours at the gym and the performance center and she was positive they had noticed.

Nicole walked into the room, smiling at Stephanie and Triple H sitting across from the door. She reached out across the table to shake Stephanie and Hunter's hands, her dress riding up slightly.

"Hello Nicole, would you care to sit down?" Seth spoke from behind her causing Nicole to jump. He was the last person on earth she expected to be here. He motioned to the board room chair, standing up to pull it out for her. He was dressed in one of his all black suits, she loved the way he cleaned up but she couldn't help but imagine the body underneath.

"Why thank you Seth. I didn't expect you here, what a pleasant surprise" She smiled in his direction sitting down.

"I'm so glad you think so Nicole, you know it's always a pleasure seeing you" Seth smirked, he felt his heart race with her blatant flirting, surprised no one else in the room had picked up on her cues. He looked around to find both Steph and Hunter fiddling with their iphones and laughed at their ignorance.

"We have noticed what's been going on around here" They froze in their seats, nervous, they swore they were discrete with their ongoing affair, maybe word had gotten out about the incident in catering.

As Triple H spoke, she saw her phone light up with a text message.

Text from Seth "I'm finding it really hard to not touch you right now"

"so do it" She mumbled under her breath, her eyes never leaving Hunter and Steph's direction.

Nicole could see the glimmer in his eyes, as he listened to Triple H speak.

"What is that sir?" Nicole was the first to speak

"You both have had a lot of buzz as of late, we see how hard you have been working. You two have a lot more in common than I realized" Hunter chuckled

Nicole and Seth both let out a sigh of relief.

"What Hunter is trying to say is that we see the similarities in your storylines, you both betrayed your families and you have gained lots of heat. You are known as the princess and prince of the authority, we would be out of our minds to not put you guys together."

"Our concern is your very public marriage to John Cena though; We love having you on Total Divas Nikki, and your relationship is one of the prominent features of the show. I'm sure you both are obviously aware he is going to be away filming a movie for a while and therefore won't be featured in Total Divas for the next couple of months. The way I see it, why not use this as an opportunity to spotlight you without John. Female fans are a huge demographic for us and they have all seem to take a huge liking to your personality. It's time we start developing strong female characters, not ones who just fade into the background because their husband is gone. You and Seth are professional and hardworking, I can see your determination to become better and we want to give you that chance to do what you've wanted to do. You're going to be main event players."

Nicole had sat at the table next to Seth. Seth was uncomfortable, he hadn't been this close to Nicole in weeks and all he wanted was to touch her. The dress she was wearing was one of her shortest and it exposed her milky thighs. He had purposely picked to sit directly next to her to give himself the opportunity to touch her. His hands were under the table, and his fingertips travelled up her bare thigh, trailing the smooth skin and he could hear Nicole gasp at the sudden touch. His hand lingered against her skin as he moved his fingers towards her pussy. Nicole suddenly became nervous; they were sitting across from their boss who was praising them for their professionalism and hard work. The compliments coming from Steph and Trips seemed ironic as he put his hand under Nicole's dress.

"I'm sure i can speak for both of us when i say we are honored that you want us to be a part of such a momentous storyline. Thank you so much for believing in us, we promise we won't disappoint you." Nicole spoke completely disregarding Seth's delicate touches under the table.

"She is as intelligent as she is beautiful. I couldn't have said it better myself." Seth eagerly responded, nodding his head refusing to give away what he was doing under the table. He was touching around the bundle of nerves between her thighs, lingering longer each time but never giving her what he knew she wanted. He could feel her getting wet from his touch.

"See Hunter, I knew we made the right choice by getting them involved. There is something special here, god if you weren't married Nicole I could see this working out" Stephanie pointed her finger between the two of them as they both laughed nervously. Seth finally touching her clit, her hands forming grips on the table to prevent herself from moaning, she was struggling to keep her composure, it had been so long since someone had touched her the way Seth was.

"Well that's about it, I'm going to mention this to creative and get it put in for next week, I can't really ask any more of the two of you. Just keep doing what you're doing; I'm so happy with developing this. It's been a long time coming. " Hunter said rising up from the table.

Seth quickly rose, removing his hand from between Nikki's thighs and extending it towards Triple H, shake his and Steph's hands enthusiastically. Nikki rose slowly attempting to hide her embarrassment and shaking their hands. She followed Seth slowly out of the room and followed him down the hallway towards the locker rooms. They walked in comfortable silence, until they got to an isolated part of the arena.

"When we finally have sex it's going to be so fucking great" Seth boasted grabbing Nicole's ass as they walked next to each other.

"You're such an ass, with your amazing fingers and your teasing" She laughed grabbing his hands "You shook their hands with the hand that was fingering me, Holy shit" Nicole whispered

Seth picked her up to let her sit on the production boxes, she crossed her legs seductively, her eyes glossing over. He had tortured her, he knew she was close to a release but he pulled away before she had the chance.

"Well it's been fun babe, but I have to go and get ready for my match" She reached out to pull him towards her; she opened her legs to wrap around him, pulling him closer.

"You can't leave me, not like this, look at me" Nicole whispered pressing a kiss against his lips. Seth was surprised, this was the first time Nicole had showed this much affection in work, he wasn't going to leave her now.

"I will never leave you. But we can't do this here, anyone can see" He wrapped his arms around her kissing her with as much force and passion as he could. They broke apart when he heard some noises down the hallway.

"Doesn't that make it more fun?" She pulled him by his tie kissing him again, she pushed her tongue and swirled it against his causing a low growl from his chest.

"Don't play with fire Nicole..if you're not okay with getting burnt"

"Come see me tonight, it's time to cross that line Seth, I've never been more sure"
