CHAPTER 26:
Over the next two weeks, everyone prepared themselves for the upcoming Survivor Series PPV which was still scheduled for a go on November 24th. It was now Saturday the 23rd, and those who were scheduled for matches were slowly arriving to Boston, Massachusetts. Those who were in particularly exited were John Cena. He was preparing to defend his World Heavyweight Championship. He was sharing a hotel suit with Nikki, Brie and Daniel Bryan.
"I so can't wait for tomorrow night" said Nikki. "We are so gonna win". "You girls are he-lair" Bryan joked. "Stop joking you loser!" giggled Brie. John entered the room after a long morning of exercise by clearing his throat. "Oh hey babe I've missed you today" said Nikki. "What have you been gone since like 6?" "Try 4am" said John as he took a seat at the dinning room table. "I'm sorry John but did you just say 4 in the morning?" asked Brie. "Yeah" said John. "Tomorrow's the big one".
"You make it seem like we're getting married or something" Nikki said sarcastically. "Uh-oh I smell trouble" said Bryan. "Come sweetie, let's give them some privacy" said Brie. "But lunch is gonna be here any minute" said Bryan. "I know but I was really hoping that I could show you an extra 'special move'" said Brie. With that the couple walked away, giving Nikki and John space to talk.
"John I'm beginning to get really worried about you" said Nikki. "You've haven't slept in over 3 days and now I come to find out that you've been up exercising for the past 8 hours?" "Look Nicole, I'm 36 years old" said John. "I've been in this business a lot longer than you so I know what I'm doing". "Really ok John!" said Nikki. "You act like you own WWE but you don't!" At this point an argument ensued between the two.
"Oh seriously Nicole?" said John. "We are so not going through this again!" "Well I'm afraid we are" said "Nikki as she grabbed her hotel keycard and walked towards the door. "Nicole, where are you going?" asked Brie. "To the Jacuzzi" said Nikki. "I need to soak for a while". "But Lunch will be here any minute!" said Bryan. "That's ok" said Nikki. "I've lost my appetite". Nikki left her sister with Bryan and John alone. "Hey can I talk to him for a moment?" asked Brie. Bryan nodded as he went back into their bedroom.
"Hey John can we talk?" asked Brie as she took a seat next to him. "Not now Brianna" said John. "Look John I personally know that sometimes Nicole can be a pain in the ass but she's still your girlfriend and she still loves you just like she's still my sister and I still love her" said Brie. "I know that you two can get through this". "Ever since you and Bryan got engaged, she's been…hounding me about marriage and kids and like I've told her since day one that I'm just not into any of that stuff" said John. "You know John" said Brie. "It's like I told a really good friend of mine a little while ago; 'never say never'".
With that, Brie got up from the table as their doorbell ring. It was their lunch. This left John alone by himself at the table to begin having serious thought process generating.
Meanwhile, AJ and Roman were getting dressed in their hotel room. "Ready to hit the gym?" she asked. "Absolutely" said Roman. "I hope you win tomorrow night" said AJ. "I hope so too" said Roman. Then the two received a knock at their door.
"Who is it?" asked Roman. "It's Jonathan!" shouted Dean. Roman walked over to the door to answer it. "You scared us for a moment" he said. "Aww are you guys still keeping your relationship a little itty bitty secret?" teased Dean. "Why yes we are" said Roman. "Man when are you two gonna go public already?" asked Dean. "I think I've started hearing rumors about youse". "Rumors, what do you mean rumors?" AJ asked nervously. "Relax strawberry shortcake" said Dean as he leaned up against the wall while grinding his toothpick. "It ain't nothing juicy anyway". "Dude don't call her a shortcake again" said Roman. "And get that damn piece of wood outta your mouth before your ass chokes to death".
Dean immediately rolled his eyes as he removed the toothpick. "Look Joe, I came up here to tell you that some of the guys are having a little spinning contest" he said. "Winner wins a Benjamin". "Guys what guys?" asked Roman. "Oh you know our third musketeer. Punk, Langston and surprise-surprise Orton" said Dean. "Randy Orton?" asked Roman. "Yeah" said Dean. "I am just as surprised as you are, believe me. Now gather your things and let's go". "Have you ever learned the word 'Please'?" asked Roman.
"Yeah my mother used to try to teach me that but she gave up on me after age 6. Now let's go" said Dean. Roman gave a quick smooch to AJ. "I'll be back ok?" he said. "Nah its ok" said AJ. "Go ahead and have some guy time with the boys". Roman nodded. "Well it's a good thing you caught when you did" he said. "I just finished getting ready to go down there". "Yeah, yeah, yeah I know" said Dean. "Time's a wasting!"
With that, the two men left and AJ started to wonder what exactly did Dean meant by there was rumors beginning about her and Roman. She surely hoped that Brie wasn't the one who spilled anything. So AJ decided to quickly take out her black and pink striped Mac Book Pro to do a little research. What she found sure alarmed her:
