Nikki and Heath pulled up to their hotel. They had agreed that she would get her own room but she would stay with him for company. She felt a little uncomfortable round him for a while. He insisted she stay with him until twelve and then she could go back to her own just nodded, unable to get John off her mind.
She checked in and after placing her bags in her own room, she made her way to his. She closed and locked her door, turned around and walked straight into a familiar figure. John. She looked up at him and he smiled at her. He still had his hand on his door, so he was obviously just next to him. She counted it out and figured that He was between her and Heaths room.
"Nikki can we talk?" He sounded hurt and Nikki almost felt sorry for him. She was about to reply when she heard her name being shouted. She looked in that direction to see Heath standing, waving out of his door, beckoning for her to come in. Nikki looked into John's eyes as if she was trying to send him a message. She whispered 'Later' and walked away.
John now knew that he might get the chance to talk to her now and that someone how brought his spirits up. He might get a second chance but he needed proof.
Nikki closed the door behind her and walked over and sat on the chair.
"Want to watch a film or something?" Heath asked in a cheery tone which defiantly creeped Nikki out.
"Yeah! What do you have?" she asked, pretending to looked eager. She wasn't planning on staying till twelve and she hoped she could think of some excuse by then.
"What about Harry Potter?" He asked eagerly. She nodded. She had seen all the films a million times but if it shut him up, she would happily watch it again.
They were halfway through the film when Nikki drifted off to sleep. All the crying had made her tired and she bent her head to the side so Heath wouldn't notice.

Maryse and Sheamus were on warpath. she had seen the tape and she was determined to get Nikki and John back together. She had made seven copies of the CCTV and they were safely stored of her phone, iPod, laptop and any device she and Sheamus could find. She had called Vince and already had a match scheduled for Smackdown! on Friday against Layla but now she was looking for a little practice.
She saw the brown-haired woman walking out of her room and knocking on John's door.
John opened it and the only thing he saw was Layla one second, a blur of movement and then the doorway was filled with Sheamus. John rubbed his eyes and stepped out into the hallway. Maryse was too busy punching to acknowledge the two men looking at her, smiling. She finally stood up, yelled at her to 'Get her sorry ass outta' here' and then turned to the men with a grin on her face.
"Well, that was fun!" She said before barging into John's room. Sheamus followed and John looked at them both.
"Just come in why don't you?!" He put his hands up in desperation as the pair ignored him. Maryse jumped over the bed and grabbed John's laptop. She fired it up only to let out a huge 'Awwww' when she saw the picture of John and Nikki as his background. She placed the DVD in its proper place and then stood up.
"Thats my work here done. I'll collect my thank-you flowers in the morning." She jumped back over the bed, grabbed Sheamus's arm and hauled him out of the room, leaving John to see for himself, the DVD she had left for him.
He pressed play and sat for nearly fifteen minutes watching himself and Daniel watch Raw!. He knew what he was about to see as he saw Daniel leave and Layla walk in. From this camera's angle, you could clearly make out Evan standing with the camera, ready to press capture. John grinned as he watched Layla throw herself at him only to be rejected a second later. John ejected the DVD and went to find Nikki.
He was going to get his girl back.

Nikki awoke halfway through the film. She slowly turned her head and saw Heath asleep on the bed.
"Bingo!" She thought as she pulled her boots back on. She had kept her wrestling gear on apart from the bottom half. She had just put on her 'juicy' pants.
She tiptoed to the door and turned the handle only to stop dead in her tracks when she heard his voice.
"And where do you think your going?" She had just taken another step out the door when she answered him back.
"Em, I'm going, thanks for the ride back." She saw John walking down the hallway. He stopped and stared at her. She mouthed 'Help' before she was violently yanked back in the room. He could see the glint of desperation in her eyes and he automatically knew something was wrong
"I didn't say you could leave, did I?" He put his forearm against her neck and pushed fiercely. She clawed at his arm for a second, scared if she passed out but then as he got angry and more conscious of who had heard, he loosened up a little. He expected her to start crying and beg but instead she kneed upwards and caught him right between the legs, catching him completely off-guard. He went hurtling back as she screamed at him.
"The only people I answer to is my friends and family and my Fiancé and certainly NOT you!" John heard exactly what she screamed and his heart started to backflip. At least she still thought of him as her fiancé. He expected her to walk out after that but when she didn't he started to panic
She reached for the door handle and pulled, only to have something big and heavy thrown at her head. She fell backwards and onto the ground just as the door burst open and John knocked Slater out. She just managed to reach for him before everything went black.
