Nikki stood in front of the full size mirror, trying on her new purchases. She had spent an absolute fortune but still had tried nothing on. She was now wearing a silver vest with tiny black shorts, the ones John had picked out for their date tomorrow night She was just about to try on her new shoes when John popped his head round the door. He handed her a bag, kissed her on the cheek and walked out.
"I'm just slipping out to get something, I'll be back soon. I love you!" John shouted from behind the door.
"Okay Babe, hurry back!" Nikki replied, mystified by the bag she was just handed.
She smirked when she thought of what was inside the bag and started digging through it. She kept going through the bag until she found a little box. It looked like the kind of box that held a necklace, this made her little heart skip a beat at the thought of John doing something romantic. She had to sit down on the edge of the bath before opening it.
Inside was a thin layer of velvet covering whatever was underneath it. She picked it up and gasped when she saw the diamond necklace. It had a purple stone in the middle and the diamonds got smaller and smaller the further they went up the necklace. It was silver and looked like it had cost a bomb. She took it from the box with her eyes brimming with tears. She walked over to the mirror and swept her hair above her head, sliding the necklace into place and then clasping it shut. She brushed her hair back into place then admired the necklace in the mirror. She had to go and thank John. She stepped out of the door grinning like a Cheshire cat, glowing with happiness.
But John wasn't there and then remembered he had to go out for something. In his place, there were balloons and arrows pointing towards the back of the room, somewhere Nikki hadn't been since moving into the tour bus with John four months ago. She walked towards it and knocked on it quite hesitantly. There was no answer so she walked in. The room was a deep red on one wall and black on the other three,. The arrows pointed to another box. This time, when she opened it, there were a few more boxes inside.
She pulled out the largest box and placed it on the table, sitting at the small stool she shook the top of the box off. She opened it to see everything wrapped in white tissue paper. She slowly unwrapped it, careful not to rip it. Her mouth widened to an 'O' shape as she saw the lacy material she held in her hands. She held it up as it fell out of the box. A gorgeous white dress with a silver sash was what had hidden in the box, along with a note, carefully written on white and silver lined paper.
'Open the envelope last'
John x
She did as she was told and laid the dress to the side. What was all this about. A necklace and now a dress, what else? She opened the next one as se felt a pair of arms slip round her waist. She could recognize those arms anywhere.
"Baby, what are all these presents for?" Nikki asked as she placed her head on his chest.
"Well if you do as your told and open the envelope last, it will all make sense." he answered as she looked up at him, eyes gleaming.
She continued to the next box. definitely a shoe box she thought to herself as she opened the box. She held up the gorgeous platforms as she gawked at John who just looked smug but was secretly hoping he had gotten the right size.
She led the sparkly shoes against the white dress which she now got a better look at. It was strapless and had a trail of material coming from the back. It was utterly stunning. The next box was pretty flat and everything in it was covered in yet more white tissue paper. She unwrrapped the first small package to find a racy, lacy, deep colored red bra. She unwrapped the next package, which was even smaller to find an itty bitty pair of panties, matching the bra. She turned round to John who just raised an eyebrow then winked at her. She blushed and turned round the last package. An envelope.
She used her long manicured nails to slowly rip the paper. She heard John move behind her but she took no notice, instead took the black card out of the envelope. It had silver edges and looked extremely formal. On the front it said 'INVITATION' and in smaller letters it said 'When you open this, your orders are, you have to read it aloud.'
She stood up and read it as she turned around.
"okay, here goes. You are invited to the wedding of..." She flipped the page and saw the two names printed on the other side.
"John Cena and ... Nikki...John WHAT THE HELL IS..."
She looked around to John who took the miniature box out of his pocket and slowly got down on one knee. Her hand shot straight up to her mouth as she struggled to breathe. The tears started to fall as her lips broke into a large smile.
"Nikki Bella. You are the only girl I ever think about and I love you with all my heart. If you say no to what I'm going to say, I'll tickle you until you say yes." He stared at her as he lifted the box up to her so she could see. She traced a finger over the box but quickly retracted it.
"Nikki, will you do me the absolute honor and marry me?"
