CHAPTER 67:
The next morning, Nikki awoke with a huge and painful hangover as she walked into the living room where Brie and Bryan sat waiting for them. "You two get up pretty damn early she said. God my head is hurting me so fucking bad". "Nicole will you please come over here" said Brie. "We need to talk". "Look Brie I don't wanna talk about last night" said Nikki. "Besides it's pretty much all over the fucking internet".
"No actually it's not" said Bryan. "Stephanie's pretty good at controlling such issues and you better be thankful that she is". "Ugh I'm probably fired!" Nikki whined. "Oh my God Nicole is that what you're worried about right now?" asked Brie as she stood up. "Last night you embarrassed the company and more importantly yourself!" "Yeah well John hurt me" said Nikki. "I know he did" said Brie. "Wait…don't tell me that you're actually feeling sympathy for him and AJ" said Nikki.
"I don't hate them Nicole, but yes I do admit that the two are not exactly my favorite people right now" said Brie. "But we need to talk about what you did to yourself last night". "Ok shoot" said Nikki. "First of all you are so damn lucky that Stephanie was able to keep all of this under wraps and that not a lot of people attended last night" said Brie. "Go on" Nikki said. "Next you drove over here drunk and I swear to God Nicole if you do that shit ever again I'll never speak to you again" said Brie. "Ok Brie" Nikki said seriously. "I won't ever drink and drive again I promise". "Lastly, did you use protection with Roman?" asked Brie.
Nikki got quiet. "I dunno, I guess" she said. "Are you sure?" asked Bryan. "Because the guy has already assumed that AJ is pregnant so he wouldn't have the need for condoms". "I'm pretty sure" said Nikki. Brie sighed. "Look I love John and I love AJ just like I love you and yes I do admit that they were wrong but I'm just hoping to God that one day everything will get back, or almost back to the way they were".
"What the hell are you saying?" asked Nikki. "John maybe having a baby with that whoring bitch and all you're trying to do is get me to look at the bright side to this?" "Nicole you know that I believe that everything happens for a reason" said Brie. "Like I said I am upset with those two but I'm hoping that things will be made right again so I won't have to. I'm 30 years old-we're 30 years-old and life is too short to be caught up in all of the drama". Nikki sighed.
"Look Nicole, like I said maybe there could be a bright side to this, you don't know" said Brie. "A bright side? Like what?" asked Nikki skeptically. "Like maybe this baby could actually be the one thing that finally brings you and AJ together in some way" said Brie. "Yeah to a brawl" Nikki said sarcastically as she stood up. "I need…I need some rest" she said. "Ok but we're not done with our conversation" said Brie. "You are one amazing person" said Bryan. "How so?" asked Brie. "What if AJ slept with me-not that would ever happen of course-but would you be saying the same way?" asked Bryan.
"So in other words practicing what I preach?" asked Brie. "Yeah" said Bryan. "To be honest I don't know" said Brie. "But what I do know is that I'm going to be paying a little visit to AJ soon. "Are you sure that's a good idea?" asked Bryan. "To be honest again, I don't know" said Brie. "I simply don't".
Meanwhile AJ remained laying in Tamina's bed as she had now stopped crying. "I think you should go get the baby checked out" said Tamina. "To make sure that it's ok". "Its fine" said AJ. "Oh honey I'm so sorry" said Tamina. With that her doorbell rang. "Ugh who could that be?" asked AJ. "I don't know but I'll be back" said Tamina. She went to answer the door and was shocked to see that it was Roman.
"Joe, what are you doing here?" she asked. "I need to speak to her" said Roman. "Joe that's not a good idea right now" said Tamina. "She's my wife, or at least I thought she was" said Roman as he walked past Tamina and headed into the room. "AJ are you in here, we need to talk now" he said. AJ sat up in bed.
"Can you give us a little privacy?" asked Roman. "Its ok" said AJ. Tamina closed the door behind them. "How could you do this to me?" asked Roman. "How could you cheat on me?" "I'm sorry" AJ said tearfully. "I really am". "How can I be sure?" asked Roman. "How!?" He was now shouting. "Damn it April I loved you! I loved you with all of my heart and this is how you fucking repay me by doing Cena!?" "I'm sorry" said AJ. "It was a stupid mistake". "And to think that I had that bastard look after you for me when I was gone!" shouted Roman.
"Look Leati I said that I was sorry and that there's nothing I can do about it" said AJ. "We won't know whose baby it is until it is born". Roman sighed as he took a seat at the end of the bed. "This just kills me AJ" he said. "It really does and something like this has never happened to me before, I never been cheated on AJ but I can promise you that I have cheated on someone once before". "You…have?" asked AJ. "Yeah I have" said Roman. AJ began to frantically move her eyes. "You mean me don't you?" she asked. "You…slept with Nicole last night didn't you?! Didn't you!?"
"Yes April I'm afraid so" said Roman. AJ began to breakdown when Roman put his hand on AJ's hand. "No don't touch me!" she said. "How could you do that to me?" "Because I wanted you to feel exactly what I was feeling but I realize that it was the dumbest thing I've ever done" said Roman. "So why are you telling me this?" asked AJ. "Because just like you want me to be forgive you, I need you to forgive me" said Roman. "Ok and if I did?" asked Roman.
"I'm still willing to make things work with you April because I love you" said Roman. "Regardless if that baby is mine or not I still love you and unfortunately things happen". "We're gonna need some serious counseling" said AJ. "I know" said Roman. "I know but for now I think it's best that we have some time apart until we figure out things". "Leati?" AJ said tearfully. "Yes AJ?" asked Roman.
"I just wanted to let you know that I wish that I could take it all back and I wish that this turns out to be your baby and that I love you too".
