chapter 2//off limits

nikki's p.o.v

The Raw after Royal Rumble is always so energetic. There's no other feeling like it. It would be better if Brie and I actually had a match tonight, but none the less. I liked being back here.

I didn't realize how much I actually missed. The women's division is better than ever. Ronda made her debut last night and like her or not, she's an incredible asset to the company. Can't wait to get her in the ring.

And everyone is moving on. Back when the Bella Twins were in full effect, there weren't many girls on the roster. But now, we are way more diverse and extremely talented. I honestly wish I could take back all the time that I missed.

I dropped my bag off in my locker room and made my way to catering. Not exactly where I want to be, but we'll make the best of it, right? I passed hair and makeup, seeing Alexa and Mickie.

"Hey Love!" Alexa stood up and hugged me. "Hey! You were great last night." I smiled and hugged her. "Thank you.. I was so nervous." Mickie leaned in. "Oh stop it.. You were amazing. How's it feel to be back?" "It feels so good.. But it'll feel even better when I win that title, Lexi."

She chuckled and nodded. "We'll see about that." "Yes we will. Alright see you guys later." I walked off, turning the corner to catering. I looked around for Daniel it Brie. I found them sitting off to the side.

I walked over, pulling the chair. "Hey." Daniel and Brie both looked up. "Hey." Brie leaned in. "I was just about to call you. We thought you got lost or something." I shrugged "Lost? No, I was just catching up with Lexi and Mickie. I'm gonna go grab some food."

Brie tapped Daniel and got up with me. "So?" "So what?" She looked at me. "Have you seen him?" I shook my head. "Don't." She shrugged "What? I'm just asking." My mind flashed back to Roman last night. He's married.. Married.

I grabbed a plate, filling it with some greens and then fries. Brie filling her plate with just greens before we both grabbed a bottle of water. We walked back to the table, Daniel not the only one at the table.

Brie and I placed our plates on the table. Seth and Roman looking up at us. My eyes immediately catching his. I can't believe he's married. I looked away when Seth got up, wrapping his arms around me, hugging me.

"I'm so glad you're back." I chuckled as I hugged him, catching a quick glimpse of Roman facing the other way. "I'm so happy to see you." We pulled away from each other, sitting back down.

He's married. I looked at Seth, trying my best to not even look in his direction. "So Rollins, how have you been?" "Man, you know I broke up with the last girl I was with." I nodded, hearing only half of his story while feeling eyes burn into me.

"You can't even guess who I'm with now." I shrugged as I looked over at Brie and Daniel. "Any guesses?" All of us shaking our heads. "Rebecca, Becky." I smiled, so happy for him. I slapped his shoulder. "Are you serious?! I'm so happy for you."

He nodded. "Yeah, I was just telling Daniel and Roman, we moved in together and everything. She wants to have this whole house warming thing. So I'm inviting you guys, this weekend.." I nodded "Well, you know I'm there, just text me the details. I can't believe that you are finally settling down and with Becky."

Roman snickered "Let's see how long he stays that way." I turned in his direction. "Oh, have a little faith, Big Dog. Becky is the girl for you, Rollins." I smiled as Rollins gleamed. He hopped up waving bye and swaggering off.

Brie laughed "I'm happy for both of them." I nodded "They deserve it." Daniel got up from his seat. "Hey, I'm heading down to talk to Steph." Brie gave me a look, then eyed Roman. No, no, no!

"I'll come with you." No! She grabbed her plate and followed Daniel. "Be right back!" I shook my head and focused on my food. Roman staring at me.

The silence, killing me. I looked up, our eyes meeting. My eyes traveled his face, his lips, until they finally ended up on his finger. His band burning a hole in me. He's fucking married.

I took my bottle of water and cracked it open. I took a sip and placed it down. "So how long do you think Rollins will last?" He chuckled and got up, ready to leave.

"Hey! There's nothing wrong with us being friends." He stopped and sat back down, crossing his arms against his chest. His tattoo on full display. "Friends?" I smiled "Friends."

I looked at him, basically undressing him. I know what he looks like without anything on. I know what he feels like, what he sounds like.. I've haven't had anything be as great or as fucking mind blowing, since what happened between us.

"Friends don't look at other friends like that." He was teasing me.. I moved in closer. "Like what?" "Like they're practically already seeing the other naked." I chuckled "I don't have to practically see anything. Don't forget I already saw you naked."

He uncrossed his arms, leaning into the table. His eyes traveled down to my lips and back. "I'm leaving." I smirked seeing him still sitting. I got up from my chair, his eyes following me. I walked up to him. He looked up at me, and then stood up.

I looked up at him, biting my lip. He chuckled. "See friends don't do that." I shrugged "Well, I'm a different type of friend. The 'I can see you naked' kind." He cleared his throat and lifted his hand, his wedding band on his finger.

He leaned in closer to me, my body almost instantly swaying towards him. I nearly moaned as I felt his face caress mine. I smiled as I heard him take a deep breath beside my ear. "You don't have control over me, babygirl. I remember the way you taste, the way you moan.. But that's in the past, I am off limits. Catch you later, friend."

He pulled away from me, a smirk on his lips. I chuckled loving the moment. Off limits? We'll see how long THAT lasts.
