After about 45 minutes of silence in the car, Nat finally decides to speak up, announcing her hunger to Jon.

'...Okay...I need food. You hungry?'

Surprised at hearing her voice, Jon nods in agreement and starts searching for a place to eat, it doesn't take them long to find a diner, with Jon turning in to the car park and the pair walking in.

They sit inside a booth near the back of the diner, hoping to draw as little attention as possible while looking at the menu. They sit in an awkward silence until the waitress comes over to take their order, and as Nat expected she barely looks at her and keeps all her focus on Jon who is oblivious as he stares back at Nat while he states what he wants.

Once they're alone again they go back to the same silence, Nat tapping her fingers on the table in boredom, until she finally decides to meet Jon halfway and talk.

'So. How's life?'

Confused, Jon doesn't know what to say and only responds with a 'huh?'

'What? Steph said we need to get reacquainted and so I'm meeting you half way, I'll try work on not yelling at you 24/7 Kay?' Nat responds snarkily, being the stubborn person that she was she didn't want to say that she was the reason their promo wasn't as good as they both knew it could be.

'...Okay. Well...everything's good you know. Same old same old...you? How's Barrett?' Jon asks, not being able to resist asking her about the British superstar.

'I wouldn't know.' Nat responds simply, not wanting to have THAT conversation with Jon.

'Oh?'Jon asks, hopeful.

'Well it's not like when we're together we're asking about how we're feeling...'

'Oh...' Jon says, this time sounding dejected.

Realising she probably shouldn't have said that, Nat tries to keep the conversation going, 'But you know other than that...everything else is good. Hanging with Becky now that she's on the main roster, and Colby of course.'

'How's Colby doing?' Jon asks, trying to keep the back and forth as casual and normal as possible.

Shrugging, Nat responds 'Coping. Him and Leighla were having issues for a while I guess. Of course it doesn't excuse what he did...' and just like that the conversation drops and the air is laced with tension, the hidden implication of the similarities between Nat and Jon and Leighla and Colby.

Clearing his throat, Jon decides now is as good a time as ever to try make peace with Nat.

'Nat. Listen. I know I've said it before and just saying it isn't enough but...what happened between us. I wish I could take it back. You will never know how sorry I am...'

'Yeah will it still happened. There's no going back. And you're with Renee now. So I guess everyone got what they wanted...' Nat responds, sitting back and folding her arms across her chest, her guard immediately back up.

'No but they didn't! I want you I've always wanted you! And I know that you want to be with me okay! We can we can work this shit out! I know we can!' Jon pleads, stretching his arms across the table, pulling Nats arms apart and grabbing them in his hands.

Looking back at him, Nat starts to soften. This was the first time she really believed he still cared and she wished they could've worked things out. But it was too late. They were done and she was tired of it all. Placing a hand to his cheek, she starts talking.

'Jon. It's just too late. You're with Renee now and as much as I hate her, I am not going to be the other woman. And I'm just tired. There's always something in-between us and even if I still have some leftover feelings for you...I really do need to be on my own for a while. We had our moment. It didn't work out. So now we have to just move on.'

Now it was Jon's turn to pull away from Nat, looking back at her hurt, he doesn't know how to continue. 'So what now? We just continue arguing? Pretend that we were never together...'

'Now we try and be friends. This storyline is going to be awkward as hell if we can't be civil. So I promise to try and do that. But that's all. Nothing more. Just friends.' Nat says, staring back at Jon with a no nonsense look.

'What you really think we can do that?'

'We're going to have to.'

Just as Jon goes to speak again the waitress comes back with their food, again giving Jon all her attention with Jon again not giving her any of his.

Once she's gone the pair begin eating, remaining silent until they get back into the car.

'Can I have my back now? I promise no headphones!' Nat asks once they start driving again and Jon agrees. Once she unlocks her phone Nat notices a ridiculous amount of Twitter notifications, opening them up she sees photos of Jon and Nat just minutes earlier in the diner, it seems like they were spotted.

'Shit!'

'What's wrong?'

'There's photos of us at the diner all over Twitter!'

'What?!' Jon asks, shocked that there would've been someone around at that time knowing who they were.

Taking Nat's phone to look at the photos, there's quite a few, of then holding hands across the table, of Nat's hand on Jon's face and it was clear for everyone to see that there was definitely something there and it seemed like everyone had an opinion on it.

Within the next 10 minutes Jon's phone was ringing and he knew it'd be Renee, upon answering it he only heard her screaming.

'Renee! Hey would you calm down? It's okay it's not what it looks like! God just relax!' After about 5 minutes of trying to explain the situation to her, Jon got frustrated at hung up, looking back at Nat with an apologetic look.

The rest of the drive consisted of the pair trying to figure out the next cause of action, how was this going to affect their storyline?

Once they finally got to the airport they found the rest of the roster, Nat immediately ran over to Becky who began bombarding her with questions, clearly she had been on Twitter in the last hour. Jon on the other hand was left to deal with Renee who immediately began attacking him.

'Why the fuck do those photos exist Jon?!' The blonde questioned, livid at the fact that her boyfriend was in such close quarters with his ex.

'Renee seriously chill! Okay?! It was just to elevate the storyline! Make it more real!' Jon said, thinking quickly for any excuse that could get him out of an argument.

Beginning to calm down, Renee only asked if that really was the truth and soon enough Jon had convinced her there was nothing more to it. Him and Nat were just friends who had to work together and nothing more. Finally letting up, the blonde grabbed a hold of his hand and began pulling him away, but Jon stole one more quick glance back at Nat who turned around in search for something or someone before their eyes met, exchanging reassuring smiles that was last exchange the pair would have until next Monday on Raw.
