"Amber are you sure you don't want me to go in there with you?" Natalya asked her eyes looking cautiously at the door of the small restaurant. Amber looked out the window of the car, at the rainy day and shook her head. Pulling her jacket closer to her body,
"No Nat, if Nikki waned to talk to me here it must be important. Plus it'd be better if I do this on my own, I'm just as curious as you to hear what she has to say."
Amber looked at the older woman who looked worried.
"Natalya if I don't call you by," Amber looks at her phone,
"By 10:30, then you can send the search party to look for me okay. An Hour and thirty minutes is enough time to talk."
"You better believe I am going to form a search party. Tyson is going to lead it."
"I wouldn't be telling you, if I didn't think you would." She opens the door and gets out, shivering at the sudden coldness.
She closes the door and waves as Natalya shakes her head pulling out into the street. Amber watches her until she disappears down the street. The sudden nervousness that she has been eating at her quickly grows inside the pit of her stomach, she looks down at her boots and sighs feeling the rain hit her neck and hair. She turns on the dark street, the only source of light is the street lights and the dark blue light coming from the restaurant. She walks forward and opens the door, the warmth making a sigh of pleasure slip from her lips.
"Hello, Welcome to The Blue Shark." A man says, who is in his late thirties a speckle of gray in his dark hair.
"Hi, I'm here with Nikki?" She says slowly, unsure if that's the name she has the table under.
"Ah Ms. Jimenez, Yes Ms. Bella is expecting you, if you will come with me, I will lead you to the table. My name is Matthew by the way."
"Okay, It's nice to meet you, Matthew."
He smiles and walks through the restaurant. it's a small restaurant but very fancy and elegant. The walls are painted a deep shade of blue with a long fish tank on the side, of course mostly containing sharks. The tables are all distanced a good amount from each other. Maybe for privacy? He leads her to a table booth in the back and the sudden though of John crosses her mind and of their date. She erases it just as quickly when she spots Nikki who is wearing a coat with a dark red dress. Amber suddenly feels very under dressed in her Black Sweater, Jeans, and UGG Boots.
"Here you are Madam." He puts down a menu and bows slightly, Amber smiling as she takes a seat as well.
"Anything to drink for you?"
"Umm… A water is fine."
"Okay, and for you?" He looks at Nikki,
"Red wine."
"Alright, I will be back." Nikki and Amber both say Thank you before he disappears leaving them alone and in the silence.
"You don't drink?" Nikki says making Amber look up. Amber can see that Nikki is serious but her eyes hide another emotion to the question.
"No… I'm underage so…"
"Oh… well they have a drink called, Power, ignore the name," She rolls her eyes making Amber crack a smile, "it's a mixture of these vegetables' and fruits I heard its good for pregnancy." Amber's eyes widen and Nikki smiles gently.
"How did…" Nikki looks at the menu for a while before looking up, "You should really tell Natalya and Kaitlyn to make sure the door is closed before they begin to talk about things that are so confidential."
"Ugh, I knew it." She growls gently.
"So how far along are you?"
"Two Months." She says and leans back slightly confused at why she is speaking so freely about her pregnancy with a woman who is, or was, her enemy.
"Congrats." Nikki painfully smiles and looks away, looks at the waiter who is bringing their drinks. "Would you like anything else-"
"Can I get the Mountain View?" Matthew blinks and for a moment he seems to be angry but nods smiling,
"Of course." He walks away a slight anger to his step and disappears into the kitchen.
"Hate people who cant mind their own damn business." She grumbles, Amber biting her tongue. "He's trying to get some information because there is a paparazzi sitting over there by the Sushi bar. I told him to make a Mountain View because its an Appetizer that takes some time to make. I don't want anyone disturbing us when I talk to you." She explains taking a sip of her wine.
"Well what do you want to talk about, I was more than surprised when you came up to me all of a sudden."
Nikki suddenly gets very nervous as she leans forward, her elbows on the table as she forms her hands into fists and leans against them.
"Amber… Can I ask you something and you will answer me honestly." Amber doesn't answer just looks at her.
"Whose the father of your baby?"
She gulps and it feels like she swallowed an ice cube. The chill running through her as her heart beats faster. The same reaction she always gets when she thinks of Dean, or even thinks about her baby, knowing that this little creation is a mix of them both. A child made of love, well maybe at that time. Or maybe was always just on her part.
"It's Ambrose's." Nikki sighs, relief laced in it as she closes her eyes.
"What was that for?" Amber says confusion with a hint of anger racing through her.
"Nothing, Nothing bad I'm just glad it's not John's." Amber blinks still confused. "And why is that?" Nikki takes a deep breath and cracks her neck.
"Amber, the reason…. I wanted to talk to you today….. I wanted to talk to you so I can tell you the truth."
"Okay…" The okay comes out slow and unsure.
"Do you remember that fight you had with John when you guys first got together?" Amber nods, how could she forget that? That was when she first realized the attraction she had to Dean. Well in all honesty who wouldn't when you woke up in a predicament like that?
"Well when he left… He came to my room." She stayed silent watching Amber as her face went from Confusion, to Understanding, to Realization, and quickly to anger. "What?" She hisses.
"Yeah, John and I slept together not only that time but at least five tie during that time and till the end of your Relationship. Even after you guys broke up John and me would see each other." She said gently watching Amber who was still looking like she wanted to kill her.
"Is this what you wanted to tell me? You wanted to confess to this so it could make you a better fucking person." Nikki looks at her glass running her finger along the rim, "If only it would be that easy." She whispered. Amber feels her anger flicker lightly to concern at seeing Nikki so distraught but the fire is once again back at the thought of her having been cheated on.
"No, as I said before I want to tell you the truth. I don't want you to live in a lie. I don't think Dean ever told you but one day, I think someone told him or he knew but he came to see John. We had just had sex and John went to go open the door. Dean came in like a rabid dog and beat him. Punching him like he was a monster. His eyes dark almost as if he wasn't in his body. He saw me with John and he was even more pissed, almost choked him to death."
She said looking at Amber. "The day Seth wanted to play Left for Dead."
"I guess so, he ended up telling John to leave you alone and that if he got close to you he would kill him." Amber looked at her hand.
"But what I wanted to talk to you about was the incident that occurred two months ago." Amber looked up. "Dean had just come out of a meeting with Vince he was pissed since Vince was trying to separate you from the Shield-"
"No, it was Dean." Nikki shakes her head,
"No it was Vince, he said you had more potential and needed to be in the higher ranks, with the Divas since you are the Diva champion. And you being in the Shield was keeping you from reaching your potential. Dean was angry, pissed about it but he wanted you to be happy. Wanted you to succeed in your dreams, the dream of being Diva's champion." Amber didn't know what to say, and suddenly realization hit her. That was why Seth was sad when she won the Diva's championship.
"Oh My God." She whispered, "But one thing I had to tell you is this. After he walked out of Vince's office John pulled him to the side and told him that if he didn't leave you alone he would tell everyone the secret he had been fighting so badly to keep."
"An-And what's that?" "That his sister was not raped by his friend but by her father." Amber felt the wind get knocked out of her. She didn't, She couldn't, comprehend it, her mind was racing through all her thoughts.
"That's why, he told you all those things." She added and the dam broke, the concrete wall fell apart and she understood everything. Understood why Dean had told her that she was an easy fuck, but still cared about her. Why he despised John so damn much. It wasn't because he didn't like him for being with her though that was one reason. But because John either way, whatever he said was going to hurt someone. Either it was Amber's heart or his sister's life, the chance for her to live her life. Amber's emotions were like a tornado going through each one of them. All she could ask was,
"Why? Why tell me this now?" Nikki looked at her tears in her eyes, "Because, Your baby deserves to have a father, something that the baby I had been expecting was never going to have."
"Had?" She asked quietly. Nikki smiled darkly, laughing humorlessly. "The doctors are right when they say that the first months are important." She says her eyes looking at something that wasn't there her mind thinking to the despair and pain she had felt when John had told her that she was nothing to him.
"Nikki… I-I'm… I cant do this." Amber said suddenly as she stood and ran out of the restaurant. Leaving Nikki to watch after her.
Dean was watching TV when suddenly a knock sounded through the room. He raised an eyebrow but choose to ignore it not really in the mood to see anyone.
"Dean! Dean you open this fucking door!" Yelled a females voice. He raised his brow again and got up walking casually to the door and swung it open. Natalya was red faced and looked ready to kill as was Tyson. Kaitlyn was in the back biting her lip nervously as she looked at her phone. "Yes?" He drawled out.
"Where is she?"
"Where is who?"
"Amber where is she?"
"Amber? She's not here."
"Stop fucking lying." Natalya growls pushing him out the way and walking into the room.
"Amber? Amber!" She calls as she walks into the bathroom, checking it, before coming out.
"She's not here. Oh My God Tyson, She is not here."
"Why should she be here?" Dean says acting like he didn't care but secretly wondering why they were looking for her.
"Because she's missing."
"Missing. Really Know? You sure she's not with John. I heard they've been getting friendly lately." He grumbles crossing his arms over his chest.
"No she would not be with John, that fucking idiot. She went to go talk to Nikki and Nikki told her everything." This made Dean look at her,
"Wow… So did her world fall apart." He said dramatically. Tyson's patience snapped. He grabbed Dean by his T-shirt and threw him at the wall, getting into his face. Anger clear in his eyes.
"Listen to me okay Dean. Amber loves you, she does and I know you do to. Nikki told us everything and yeah John's a fucking idiot and we all want to kill him but our main concern is to get her to safety, because if you havent noticed it's Eleven thirty in the night. She's a woman. And there are guys out there that are fucking rapist and killers." Dean glared at him pushing him off him.
"Tell me then, why the fuck should I care." He says and Tyson looks at Natalya the older woman nodding.
"Because, she's pregnant with your kid."
