boy, you're such a dream if you can believe, babe boy, you're such a dream to me
Nicole woke up from a sudden jolt of the car. Her head stirred, as she shifted and looked over at the man who was driving. She could barely see his face in the darkness. "Shit, I'm sorry. I should've stayed up with you." She commented, looking at the time that read 3:00 am. "No worries. I like these night drives. Gives me a time to clear my mind and shit." He commented, throwing a sly grin her way. Nicole felt her cheeks warm up. Thank goodness it's dark, he probably can't see my face, She thought to herself as she sat back in her seat. The car ride after that was silent. Nicole didn't know what to say to the man sitting beside her. So, she just put her headphones in and fell back to sleep.
The next time Nicole had woken up, it was sunrise. She let out a grunt, shielding her eyes from the harsh sun. "Morning, sleepy head. We're here." "I swear I won't fall asleep on you next time." Nicole chuckled as she exited the car and went to the back to grab her things. "Next time?" He questioned with a small laugh. Nicole's eyes widened, her face red from embarrassment. "Oh my gosh, I am so sorry. I just figured since you just came over and everyone already has travel partners and-" Nicole was cut off by the chuckling man. "Don't sweat it. If you don't have a partner-" he gestured to her, "and I don't have a partner-" he pointed to himself, "then I don't see why we can't be partners." He smiled, and his kindness made Nicole blush. "Yeah, I'd really, really like that." "Cool, cool. Can you do me a favor and tell Paul about this?" Nicole nodded, as they both headed inside of the hotel.

"What do you mean my name's not in the system? It's Nicole Garcia!" Nicole shouted at the woman at the front desk. "I'm sorry, ma'am. You're name isn't here." Nicole groaned in frustration. "Okay, how about John Cena." She typed on her keyboard, and looked back over at Nicole. "Yeah, I have a room for Cena, but I'm gonna need to see some ID." "Come on, I'm his fiancée for crying out loud! Just give me the key!" She persisted, but the woman simply shook her head, and called, "Next!" Nicole grunted, swiftly grabbing her bags and walking towards the elevator. "Hey, everything alright?" Her mysterious travel partner questioned as he pressed the button for the 4th floor. "No, I don't have a place to stay tonight. The room was in John's name." "Come on, you can stay in my room. Double beds!" He grinned, giving her a thumbs up. Nicole giggled at the man's sense of humor. "Thanks for being so nice to me."

"Guess there's no double beds." The man retorted, shrugging his shoulders as he laughed. "No problem. I'll take the couch!" She moved her things to the couch, but was immediately stopped by the man. "No, it's fine. I'll take the couch." Nicole smiled, but asserted her place. "You've been really, really nice to me. The least I could do is take the couch." The man nodded, and retreated back to the bed. Nicole got ready to go to sleep, and laid on the uncomfortable sofa. She sat back, and thought about all the nice things her roommate had done for her. She feel asleep thinking about him.

"I'm sorry, what?" Nicole questioned her boss, Paul. She had been discussing her new travel accommodations with him. "Since you'll be traveling together, you'll also be rooming together." Nicole was grateful she let him stay with her, but she liked having a room by herself. She just felt more comfortable that way, especially since John's away. "Can I just pay for my own room?" She pleaded, desperately looking for a way out of the situation. "No Nicole. Everyone must travel and room with someone. We can't make exceptions for you. You know how many people have asked to do the same thing? If we treat you differently, we have to treat everyone like that. Plus, we've already paid for hotel rooms and rental cars for the next 6 months. Either you travel with him, or find someone else." Nicole grunted, realizing she won't get her way. "Is there anyone else I can room with?" Paul scanned the list of superstars. "It's only him." He replied, earning a sigh from her. "Fine. I'll travel with him, but only until John gets back!" Paul nodded, and added her name next to his. "Sounds good. Now, go get ready for the live show." She nodded, and left his office. "Great." She mumbled to herself. Sure, she liked the man and his kindness, but she just wanted some alone time to think about her relationship with John. Guess that time for herself is out the window.
