Over the next two weeks Brie and John continued to get emotionally closer. They spent ever minute they could with each other. Nikki was still messing with Brie but that was the least of her concerns. Brie was fighting a silent war in her mind and heart. She felt so guilty for what she was doing to Daniel. She knew despite there problems that he did love her and she loved him. Then there was John. She really couldn't explain there relationship other then the sex was amazing and she loved being around him. Every day she felt closer and closer to him. John was in his locker room. There was a knock at the door.

"Come in." He said. Brie walked in in her wrestling gear. She'd just lost her match. "Hi."

"Hi." She sat down next to him and started rubbing her temples.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing." "I'm just really stressed."

"What is it?"

"Everything." "Nikki, Daniel, you."

"Me?"

"Yeah."

"Did I do something?"

"No." "That's not what a meant." "I just meant the situation."

"I know." "How about you come to my room after the show?" "I'll have a bath waiting for you." "You can soak for awhile and relax." "Then we can watch a movie."

"Ok." She kissed him.

"I guess that idea makes you happy."

"Yeah."

"Can I have another?"

"Yeah." She kissed him again.

After the show Brie went to John's room. She knocked on the door. He answered.

"Hi." He said.

"Hi." She went in. They kissed.

"Do you want bubbles?"

"Yeah."

"I figured you would." "That's why I went to the store and bought some for you."

An hour later Brie got out of the tub. She and John were in there pajamas watching a movie. She was laying on him. He was holding her.

"Do you feel better now?" He asked.

"Yes." "Especially since I'm here with you."

"Good." "Brie since we have tomorrow off come home with me." "We had fun last time."

"Yeah." "The making love by the fire wasn't to bad either."

"That's all it was?" "Not to bad?" Brie looked at him.

"It was incredible." "Like always." They kissed. "I'll come with you."

"Great."

The next night it was around midnight. Brie and John were at his house. It was a clear night. Brie couldn't sleep. She was sitting on the deck looking at the stars.

"There you are." John is from behind her. He sat behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"I can't sleep."

"Again?"

"Yeah."

"Is it because we didn't have sex before we went to sleep?" He said jokingly. Brie laughed.

"No." "That does seem to put us both out though."

"Yeah." "Looking for anything in the stars?"

"I'm trying to find constellations."

"Find any?"

"Not yet." "They're beautiful aren't they?"

"Yeah they are." "There's nobody else I'd rather be looking at them with."

"Aw." Brie said turning her head towards him. They kissed slowly. When it broke they looked at each other.

"Brie I- He stopped.

"What?"

"I don't remember." He lied.

"While you think about it." She kissed him. "Wanna go upstairs and have sex?"

"I would love to." They went in the house.

Two days later they were in Delaware. John had just come back from an autograph signing. He could smell candles burning and saw a flicker of light through the cracked open bedroom door.

"Hey." He said. "I wasn't expecting you." "This is a nice surprise." He opened the bedroom door. There were candles everywhere. Who he saw in the candlelight wasn't who he was expecting. "Nikki."

"Hi." She was under the blankets but John could tell she was naked.

"I thought you were someone else." "What are you doing?"

"I know I neglected this part of our relationship towards the end." "Right now can be all about us." "Like it used to be." John turned on the lights.

"Get dressed Nikki."

"Please can't we try again?" "I love you."

"I don't want to hurt you Nikki but I don't love you anymore." "I'm not doing this."

"This is about her isn't it?"

"This isn't going to happen." "I won't cheat on my…the woman I'm involved with." "Please leave." Nikki got dressed and left.

Brie was in her room. Her cell phone started to ring.

"Hello?" She said.

"Hi." Daniel said.

"Hi."

"What are you doing?"

"Just waiting to go the arena."

"Brie I've given this a lot of thought." "Move back home."

"What?"

"I miss you Brie." "I know I took you for granted before and I'm sorry." "I love you." "Come home." "Please."
