CHAPTER 43:
Another 3 hours had passed and it was now late afternoon when all three members of the shield had entered the locker room alongside Bryan. "You know what's gonna happen tomorrow night right?" he asked as he opened up his locker to retrieve his belongings.
"Nope but why don't ya go ahead and tell us all huh big D?" Dean asked sarcastically as he patted Bryan on the shoulder. "Uh you should watch your puns there" said Seth as he removed his shirt. "I see what you're thinking" said Roman. "Quit teasing!" said Dean as he tossed his toothpick on into the trashcan. "My God you guys are such dicks!"
"Hey can we please stop talking about fucking penises?" asked Bryan. "It's making me queasy". "Oh would you rather I start talking about pussies then?" asked Seth. "You should know after all since that's something you're totally interested in" said Roman. "Whoa, whoa, whoa time out there boys" said Dean as he placed his hands on his teammates shoulders. "What is the problem here?"
"I dunno but I'm out. Catch you later you guys" said Bryan. "Bye Bryan!" said Seth. "Now that we're alone" said Dean. "Would somebody mind please tell me what the fuck is going on around here?" "Nothing" said Roman. "Look Jon, it ain't me" said Seth. "This is all Joe". Dean turned around to face Roman. "So what AJ ain't giving it up to you no more? Is that what this is about!?" he asked.
"No damn it!" said Roman. "Look I just need to talk to Seth alone about something please Jon?" "Bro man, but the three of us are brothers" said Dean. "Both on and off stage, more so off stage than on". "I know, but I don't think this is something that everyone should hear" said Roman. Dean sighed. "Look alright but you'll got 5 minutes ok? And don't let it happen again!"
Roman nodded as Dean left, closing the door behind him. Roman gave it a few moments before resuming. "Look man, I know about you and Nicole and it needs to stop". "I dunno what you're talking about" said Seth. "Look Colby, I know about the affair alright. Now I think you should stop before John finds out and trust me, you don't wanna be getting your attitude adjusted by John Cena of all people if you know what I mean" said Roman.
Seth sighed as his hands crossed over his face in shock. "Look Joe what I do in my personal life is my business so why don't you do me the favor and just stay the fuck outta my life?" "I'm sorry but I can't" said Roman. "We are all very much so in the public eye. We are on the A list, so we can't afford to screw up in anything we do, that goes for on or off the stage. You are my brother, my best friend and I care about you so much that I'd hate to see you ruin your career over Nicole".
Seth just looked back at Roman in disbelief. "Look man, you're damn near 30 so I can't tell you what to do but what I can do is just tell you that whatever you do, don't have Nicole over at your hotel room tonight". With that he left Seth behind to have a serious thought session. He reached into his pocket to takeout his iPhone to begin to text Nikki:
"Hey Nicole, r u still down 4 2nite?"
As Seth was turning off his phone, his phone buzzed:
"Well of course babe ;-) just gimme the address and I'll be then whenever". Seth texted back Nikki: "529 Eastward Lane Plaza. I'm in suit 32B, it's a penthouse". Nikki responded: "Ok I'll see you at…10?" "Midnight" said Seth as he turned off his phone. Seth gathered his belongings and headed into the shower as he began to prepare for his night with Nikki.
Meanwhile, an hour later Roman arrived back to his and AJ's hotel room. "Hey baby" she said as she walked over to kiss him. "Ooh honey, you're sweaty". "Yeah I know" Roman chuckled as he tossed his bag onto the floor. "Bad day in the locker room or something?" asked AJ as she stood finishing her yogurt. "Babe, I love how you get me" said Roman. "I love that about us too" said AJ as she threw away her yogurt cup".
"So what happened?" "Colby is what happened?" asked Roman. AJ walked back over to Roman as she led him back into their bedroom. "Some things are best left unsaid by the front door, especially if you're in the now" she said as she closed the door behind him. "So what about Colby?" "He's sleeping with Nikki" said Roman. "Wait as in John Cena's Nikki!?" shouted AJ. "As in Nikki Bella, the girl that hates me. Wow I guess little miss perfect isn't so perfect after all".
"Yeah well she's not" said Roman. "But what about his girlfriend Leighla?" asked AJ. "And her boyfriend John?" "I dunno about that, but what I do know is that I overheard them talking about it and apparently it began during the New Year's Eve party" said Roman. "Something doesn't seem right" said AJ. "Nikki loves John and John loves Nikki".
"Well obviously there's some sort of a disconnect" said Roman as he removed his shirt. "Come here baby" he said. "Nah uh!" said AJ. "Not until you shower". "Don't you want me?" teased Roman. "Of course I do" said AJ. "Now hurry up so we can have fun tonight". "Yes ma'am" said Roman as he laughed all the way into the shower.
AJ was right, something is defiantly up with Nikki.
