CHAPTER 51:

The next morning, AJ arrived at Stephanie's office for their meeting. "Good morning April, how are you?" she asked. "Well I'm great" said AJ as she took a seat. "So um…?" "Right" said Stephanie. "Well the reason why I called you in here this morning is so that we could have a discussion about the next set of storylines".

"Sure" said AJ. "Hunter and I realized that now that you've gone public with your relationship with Joe, we've decided that we're going to put you back in a small, storyline with John again" said Stephanie. "Wait, I'm gonna be dating John again?" asked AJ. "No, no of course not" said Stephanie. "It's going to be a kiss that John gives you in the heat of the moment".

"I'm not so sure about this" said AJ. "It'll be a kick thing" said Stephanie. "And it will happen on February 24th on "Raw". "But that's only in 11 days" said AJ. "Yes it is" said Stephanie. "I've already talked to John last night after his match and he's totally ok with everything". "Yeah well what about Nikki if you don't mind my asking?" AJ said.

"I mean don't get me wrong or anything but the last time she beat the shit out of me during that four way back in October". "I assure you April that things will run very smoothly. It's a comical thing". "And it'll only happen once?" asked AJ. "I promise" said Stephanie.

"So that's all?" asked AJ. "Yes pretty much" said Stephanie. "I'll be sending emails out to you both tonight to confirm everything and to have your signatures on Monday". AJ nodded as she exited the room.

Meanwhile Nikki exited the shower in a robe as she entered into the hotel bedroom where John was tying his shoes. "I just can't stand this" she said as she sat down on the bed. "You know it's just a small kiss" said John as he finished lacing up. "I knew you were gonna freak, that's why I didn't wanna tell you anything".

"Yeah well…" Nikki trailed off. "Nothing!" said John. "You have nothing to worry about. Nothing's gonna happen between me and AJ I promise you that". Just then a huge clap of thunder and lightning began to happen. "Damn it it's gonna rain?" asked Nikki. "Yeah all weekend" said John as he walked over to kiss Nikki.

"I'll be back for our evening together, just as I promised". Nikki sighed. "Ok" she said as John went to open the door, but he was surprised to see Brie standing outside of it. "Hey good morning John" she said. "Good morning Brie" said John. "Hey John, by any chance you're gonna be busy for the next hour or so?" asked Brie. "Sorry Brie, but I'm already late to the gym as it is. I'll be downstairs and give my best to Bryan" said John. "Will do" said Brie as she entered inside of the suit.

"Damn Brie I'm not even dressed yet and you're here?" asked Nikki. "Nicole it doesn't matter" said Brie. "What matters is that you kept something like this from your own sister for three months. When in the hell were you gonna tell me?" "Brie I thought we've already been through this" said Nikki. I wanted to respect John's privacy.

"Nicole, fuck that shit ok!?" said Brie. "Now I am your damn sister and I just wanted to let you know that in case you've forgotten that". Nikki stood up "Brie I could never forget that you're my sister" she said. "I just had to respect his privacy and I was going to tell you eventually, I mean serious Brie I thought we already discussed this". "Well I guess you can say that I've been holding it in" said Brie. "Brianna like I've told you so many times before, I was going to tell you everything when the time came" said Nikki.

"You were gonna what? Tell me eventually that he got you a $16 million dollar engagement ring!? The fuck Nicole what else are you hiding from me?" asked Brie. Nikki sighed. "It's like I said I wanted to respect his privacy". "So you could tell me that you're getting married to him but not how valuable that ring really is?" asked Brie. "Brie I didn't know that he was even going to get me a ring this expensive" said Nikki.

"And if you did, were you gonna allow him to give it you?" asked Brie. "Of course!" said Nikki. "Look I love John so much that it doesn't matter to me how much this ring is".

Brie sighed as she continued listening to her sister. "Well I am really happy for you Nicole, I truly am. I'm glad that you allowed me to know his secret months ago, but" she paused. "I just hope that you know that you can come to me first before anyone and trust me with whatever is going on in your life but I just can't simply believe that you kept from me the fact that the ring you have is worth that much money". "I will" said Nikki. With that the two sisters hugged.

"Just promise me no more secrets ok?" said Brie. "I promise" said Nikki. Brie sighed. "I'm sorry…for sounding so upset all of a sudden" she said. "I just needed to get it all off of my chest". "Trust me I understand" said Nikki. "I really do". However there was something seriously wrong in her mind. "This...feels familiar" she thought. "As...as if I already told her this before". Nikki looked back at her sister. "Deja vu" she thought. "Deja...vu". She was completely right as she did in reality did inform her sister of it, but unfortunately it seems as her memory problems are continuing to worsen.
