John never mentioned anything about last nights events with Layla. He thought she wouldn't believe him and that was the last things she needed. He was looking forward to spending the weekend with Nikki in LA but all she wanted to do was train for Monday. He began to worry that she was obsessing over this match. She was worried Randy would hurt her and John was worried he would do something he regretted.
It was sunday night before the pair got anytime alone and in actual fact it was really early on Monday morning. Nikki was tired and had hurt her ankle. John was sitting on the edge of the bed massaging her foot when she howled in pain. She started to use breathing techniques to calm herself down but it all got too much and she burst out into tears. John feared that it had something to do with Layla but when she didn't reject him when he pulled her close, he changed his mind.
"John, What is wrong with me?" Nikki asked while John wiped away her tears.
"Nikki, That is the most stupid thing you have ever said, There is nothing wrong with you." John pulled her onto his lap. She cuddled against his chest.
"So why does everything go to Layla and Evan then Orton and now my ankle." she said in a low tone. She was upset and she just wanted her man to comfort her.
"It's going to get better trust me. Sweetheart, We are getting married in a few weeks." Nikki smiled when she heard that. She had turned into such an obsessed teenager and had been scribbling Nikki Cena on everything. He put a finger under her chin and pulled her face level with his. She used her finger to trace the his muscular jaw and his defined cheekbones. she shut her eyes and moaned while John ran his hands down her body. He stopped when he got to her waist.
"Nikki?" He spoke softly.
"Mmm?" She replied to interested in what his hands were doing.
"Your losing weight." He stated matter of factly. Her eyes shot open and she looked at her waist.
"It must just be the stress, don't worry baby, I'm fine." She smiled as he leant in to kiss her. He broke away and they both lay there breathless. Nikki looked into John's eyes. she could see passion and lust. she launched her lips in his direction, ripping his shirt off. He did the same to her. They were in the middle of ripping more clothes off when both of their phones buzzed at the same time. They were pulled out of their steamy session by the extremely weird coincidence.
Both of them opened the message.
'Watch your back.
L x'
Read out. he laughed at the stupid text before turning to face Nikki. He immediately stopped laughing when he saw her. He face was white and she was shaking ferociously. Tears were running down her cheeks as she read out the text.
'Watch your back
O x'
Nikki whimpered as she finished the text. John pulled her into him protectively. He reached for his phone and told everyone to be at his tour bus tomorrow morning at ten.
Nobody threatened Nikki like this.
Nobody made Nikki feel like this.
This meant war!

Nikki hadn't slept much that night. she was to busy worrying about Layla and Orton's next move. She had gotten dressed in her 'juicy' tracksuit, something a glamorous Nikki never wore, and half heartedly walked to the tour bus, death clutching John's hand at the same time.
All of her friends were thee waiting of her. The girls with the soft and comforting look in their eyes and the men with the hatred stares, dreaming about kicking Orton's ass. Miz was the worst. He was in the middle of a feud with him just now and now that he knew what he did to Nikki, he was getting the biggest ass kicking ever! It took John only a few minutes to explain what exactly had happened. He still left his encounter with Layla out of it.
"We have a mixed tag tonight and I don't want Nikki getting hurt." John said, a harsh tone to his usual soft voice. Nikki flinched as Natalya put he am around her shoulder.
Nikki fell asleep on John after an hour and when she woke, there was no-one there apart from John.
"Hey babe, good sleep?" John asked, standing up and going to make himself coffee. Nikki nodded, faking a smile. She wanted to snuggle up with John and not come out but no, she had a match tonight and it was something she couldnt avoid. She looked at the clock to see it was five oclock.
"Shit! John, Why didnt you wake me?" Nikki whined. They had to be at the arena in an hour.
"You were doing that cute scunchy thing with you nose, Its so cute!" John mocked and Nikki kicked him in the shin on her way past.
* * * *
Christian was going to be accompining them to the ring tonight. They were the tag team champs so no-one would think nothing of it. Nikki had just finished zipping up her boots when the man with the clipboad came to get her.
She stood hand in hand with John. The WWE universe knew they wee an item by now so all they had to do was act natural around each other, It was that easy. The othe team were aleady in the ring. Nikki gripped John's hand tighter as he helped her into the ring. She applied her usual bubbly personality.
John and Orton went at it, with John getting the upper hand. He stopped for a second and pointed to Nikki, the crowd going wild. Nikki flipped over the top rope and pointed to AJ. She went towards her and pulled her by the hair into the ring. She started stomping on AJ's stomach before she felt heslef being lifted in the air and thown halfway across the ring, catching he head on the ropes and making it bounce back. Her vision went blury for a split second when she saw Christian get up on the apron and argued with the ref. John came to check on her and once she stood up, he gave he a quick kiss and left the ring. Nikki steadied heself and when AJ tuned around, she gave her a kick round the back of the head. She lay thee but instead of pinning, she wanted to fly. Nikki moonsaulted off the top and went for the pin.
1...2...3!
"Here are your winners and the new number one contenders for the mixed tag titles; Nikki Bella and John Cena." The referee held there hands in the air, victorious. John motioned for Christian to come into the ring and once he did, they hoisted Nikki up onto thei shoulders. She giggled as they paraded around the ring.
Suddenly the music stopped and that wicked bitch appered on the screen.
"Hey Nikki. John." She winked as she said John. Nikki went to run out of the ring to get her but she was held back by Alex and Christian.
"I only wanted to show the WWE universe something. I think they and you, deserve to know that John has been having an affair." Nikki looked around her to see that the man with the clipboard was shouting to get the titatron turned off. It was then Nikki realised, This was not part of the storyline.
A peice of paper was held up to the screen. Nikki froze in her place.
Why?
Nikki ran from the ring, ignoring the shouts from John, but never taking her eyes away from the picture of John and Layla.
She knew this was too good to be true. She didnt need anymore proof than that.
It was clear John had kissed Layla.
It was over.
