CHAPTER 29:

The next morning came as John and Nikki finally returned back to their hotel room. Both had a fulfilling night's worth of rest given that tonight was their "Survivor Series" PPV. Nikki had noticed that the coffee table was miraculously repaired. "The table!" she said. "Huh?" asked John. "Nothing" said Nikki as she raced into her sister and Bryan's room. "Brie!" she shouted. "Brie, are you in there!?" "Huh…what?" asked Brie as she mumbled. "Where have you been?" "Out with John all night and I have a surprise but first how'd the coffee table get fixed and all cleaned up?" said Nikki.

Brie's eyes widened with that statement. "Uh…Nicole are you feeling alright?" she asked. "Yeah of course I'm fine but not the coffee table!" said Nikki. "What the hell are you talking about?" asked Brie. "The glass coffee table was broken yesterday" said Nikki. "Nicole, I think you've had one too many drinks again" said Brie. "And that's not a very smart decision, given that we've got one of the years' biggest PPV'S for the Divas division tonight. After 6 years in the company I'd thought you'd know better". "But Brie I'm serious" said Nikki. "I accidentally…broke the coffee table last night! I remember!"

"Nicole, as you could see the coffee table is fine" said Brie. "Bryan and I were eating off it last night. I'm sure that if it was broken, we would know about it". Nikki stepped back in utter disbelief. What did her sister mean by the table not being shattered? She broke it herself last night in a alcoholic infused raged. How could the table not be broken?

"Um hello, Earth to Nicole?" asked Brie. "Where have you been last night? You had us worried last night". "It's like I told you Brie" said Nikki. "I was with John". "Oh I see, you guys wanted to get it on. Well that's understandable but I wished you would have told me so I wouldn't be worrying half the night" said Brie. Nikki confusedly nodded as she backed out of her sister's room.

"Hey a good morning would have been nice or at least a knock!" Brie called out as Nikki entered the kitchen. She hastily opened up the fridge to see that the bottle was only half empty. "What?" she said. "I could have sworn that I've drunken the whole bottle". This was true as the couples were only provided with one bottle of wine that had already been prepackaged into the refrigerator. This left Nikki extremely dumbfounded. "Nicole, are you gonna join me?" asked John as he stepped out in a robe. Nikki closed the fridge. "Yes" she said. John walked up to her and reminded her to keep their engagement a secret from Bryan and Brie for a while, at least until after the PPV and Nikki agreed as she walked off with her new fiancé.

She wondered exactly how out of it she was yesterday for her to imagine that she had smashed a glass table. She tried to put it all out of her mind as she carefully removed her new engagement ring to step into the shower with that man who gave it to her.

Meanwhile, AJ and Roman were still lying asleep in their bed. That was until AJ woke up first. She yawned as she stepped out of the bed. It was 9:07am. After returning from the restroom, she climbed up back into bed to gently wake her boyfriend. "Hey there sleepyhead, wakeup for me" she sweetly said as she shook Roman up. He did and he turned around to AJ. "Mm good morning baby" he said groggily. AJ giggled. "You most definitely have morning breath". "I do?" asked Roman. AJ nodded. "What time is it?" "Its 9:09 in the morning" said AJ. "Oh" said Roman as he sat up. "Doesn't that mean we're running a little behind schedule?" "No silly, we don't have to be at the gym until 11 so we still have time" said AJ.

"When do we go to the stadium?" asked Roman. "You're so silly" said AJ. "5". "I was just pulling your leg baby" said Roman as he kissed AJ. Roman stepped out of the bed to yawn and stretch. "I guess we better get going huh?" AJ stepped into the kitchen to pour a bowl of Raisin Bran with milk. "What will you have?" she asked. "Oh you know, just my usual" said Roman as he entered into the kitchen to wrap his arms around AJ's waist.

"Remember we can't have too much fun, at least for another 3 days" she said. "I know" said Roman as he rested his head on her left shoulder. "But it's always worth the wait". "Yes it is" said AJ as she closed the cereal box. "I really craving an white omelet" said Roman. "Do they have it in the fridge?" asked AJ. "No, we'll have to call down to order it but since we're in a press for time, I'll have what you're having" said Roman. "I can always have an omelet". "Baby we've been here for 2 days already. I want you to eat something you really want" said AJ.

Roman gave AJ a look. "3 days Leati" teased AJ. "Trust me, I know" said Roman with a smile. "You're so silly!" she said. "Are you sure you want cereal?" Roman nodded as AJ reached for another bowl to pour for Roman. After she finished she sat down with some fruit with him. "Babe, what's the newspaper called around here?" he asked. "I dunno maybe the Boston Times or the Boston Globe?" said AJ. "Hmmm interesting" said Roman.

"So are you ready for tonight?" asked AJ. "Yes" said Roman. "Are you?" "Absolutely" said AJ. "I can't wait to take down team total divas". "I'll be so happy to be boarding a plane right back to Pensacola" said Roman. AJ nodded. "I can't wait to get back to Florida too". The two began to dig into their breakfast as they realized that it was already after 9:30.
