Nikki's POV:
"Finally, I was afraid you wouldn't show," John said as I arrived. I hope I didn't have "I just slept with my husband that you don't know about" written across my forehead. I smiled, "Of course I'd show, boo. I could never stand you up." Even though I was tempted to and just hang out with Kevin. John smiled, "I went ahead and ordered wine because I know how much you love it." "That I do. You know me so well." "I wanted to talk to you about something very important." "Uh-oh, am I in trouble?" "No, no of course not.." He reached and brushed my cheek with his thumb then continued, "It's just.."
I got really nervous really fast. Oh my god. He knows. I can feel it. Oh my god, I'm so screwed. I took a sip of the wine in front of me then swallowed, "It's just what?" "That guy who saved you Monday?" Shit. "Mhm.." "Who is he?" "Um.." I wanted to tell John the truth. I really did. But now isn't the time to break him and say that Kevin is my husband. I don't know when it will be but it's definitely not now at dinner. "Kevin is an old friend of mine. He just got hired on at NXT and before, he was with Ring of Honor. He's a pretty big deal on the indy scene." "Okay so why am I just now hearing about him?" "Because I haven't spoken to him in years. As far as Monday, he was just doing a friend of favor."
"Nicole, the look in his eyes-" "What look?" John looked at me sideways, "Nicole." "No seriously, what look?" That's it, play dumb. Play real dumb. "He gave you a look that clearly displays some type of affection for you and if there's anything like that between you guys-" I kissed him right in the middle of talking then whispered, "Did I mention how handsome you look tonight?" "Nicole, I'm trying to have an adult conversation with you and-"
I unbuttoned his shirt a little and he just stared at me when I said, "Let's skip dinner. I'm hungry for something else." "Nicole, we have to talk about this guy." I sighed. I should've known seducing him wasn't going to work. John Cena has to be in the mood on his own time for anything sexual to happen. If this were Kevin, he'd have his tongue down my throat. And other places. Oh god, I have to stop comparing John to Kevin. "Why? He's just a friend. He may have a slight crush on me but it's strictly one sided."
"Swear?" "Absolutely. I'm yours babe. Nothing will change that," I kissed him again. It sucks I have to keep lying to John like this.
Because I'm obviously still in love with Kevin.
