=========================

It's been about an hour or so since RAW ended and Logan's planning to go back to the hotel then check out in the morning as he's been invited to spend the last few days he's in the UK with his family, his grandparents have a small place up here, well, in Manchester but they moved down to London not so long ago to be with the rest of the family, only Logan's parents wanted to be special and took off to America for reasons Logan's still not too sure of.

Nikki: Hey.

Logan was walking towards the parking lot, his bag packed and ready to head to the hotel, he stopped though when Nikki intercepted him, she has her stuff ready to go but just seeing her made him smile, ever since they had that talk the other day, Logan feels like he actually means something to her now, not just a rebound.

Logan: Hi. You want a lift out?

Nikki nodded to him because Brie and AJ already left, Logan's normally the last to leave, he likes to tidy up the locker room a little bit before they leave, it's not fair that some of the Superstars make a mess and leave it for the cleaners to take care of, it's not like he spring cleaned it but he picked up the wrappers and bottles as much as he could.

Nikki: Thank you.

Logan smiled as he took her bag for her, it's much heavier then his one, Logan's learnt that the guys here travel a lot lighter then the women do, he's not sure what they pack but whatever it is, it can't be that important right, all Logan has is his ring gear and deodorant, he'll shower back at the hotel or wherever he's staying, not because of embarrassment or shame but because it's just easier.

Logan: Did you want to do something tonight? Just us?

Logan's not going to Manchester till the morning so he was thinking they could rent a movie or something, order something to eat and just spend some time together, Nikki looked to him as he put their bags into the back of the rental he was given, Brie clearly took AJ in the one they were giving since AJ came here with Logan, Nikki thought about it only for a second, she didn't need to anymore then that because she liked the idea.

Nikki: Yeah, I'd love to.

Nikki smiled when he did, it feels nice, like a high school cruse, she just wants to spend as much time with him as she can now, when he didn't talk to her it really made her realise that she could lose him if she didn't get over John so she tried her best, it did mean she needed to talk to the Multi time World Champion but he seemed okay with it, she's not sure why but after that, John left her mind and was replaced with Logan, not a bad trade in her opinion.

Logan: So what do you want to do?

Logan asked after climbing into the front seat, he doesn't actually tend to drive all too much, most of the time it's either Duncan or AJ that are driving, Logan prefers to just zone out from whatever none PG stuff their talking about and then get to the Arena, so driving right now feels odd but he can do it, driving's easy once you've done it as long as they have.

Nikki: Something small. Nothing too much...

Nikki might not have had a long match tonight but it was still exhausting and she didn't want to do anything like go to a night club or anything, not that she would, their not really her thing right now, their too busy for that sort of thing, she does like dancing and she enjoys her wine but she could do without that right now, she just wants to chill and have a nice time with her new "start over boyfriend"

Nikki: ... Maybe just a movie or something.

Logan nodded to her, he'll do anything to make her happy, as long as he's not feeling like a rebound of course, he knows enough about relationships to know when he's being taken for a ride or their taking advantage of his good nature, he's not a dumb kid that's trying to have a high school romance, he's a grown man looking to spend the rest of his life with someone and maybe that someone can now be Nikki since she seems to be more committed to this then she was before.

Growing up the only male in the family other then his father of course, Logan learnt to respect women but also understand the signs when their not giving something 100%, Logan had a hunch before that she was just riding his coattails but that moment a few weeks ago when she looked like a ghost because he was going to be working with John, that dropped the penny for him and he needed to put some space between them, it seemed to work out for the best because Nikki was a completely different women to what he was used to, she smiled, joked, laughed the entire car ride to the hotel, not that she didn't do any of those things before but something about her doing it now, just makes his heart warm again.

Nikki: You know I can do that, right?

Nikki asked as they both stood at the back of the car, boot open thanks to Logan, she was pointing out the fact he didn't need to keep carrying her bags for her, she loved it, of course she did, she just doesn't want him to think that she's taking advantage of him again, she didn't need to worry about that though, Logan will know if she's taking advantage of him or not, he's spent his life with nothing but Sister's, Cousin's and Niece's, there are few men in his family, who knows that might change one day.

Logan: As long as I'm around, you'll never have to carry a bag again.

Logan smiled as he still picked her bag up even with her saying that she could do it, Logan knows people would call him things because of it but he's an old-school guy with modern day morals, he just wants to make everyone happy, especially those close to him, why do you think there's a 6'5 lodger still living in his house, eating his food, using his water and upping his cost for the laundry because of how often they need to change the bedsheets.

Nikki: My very own Prince Charming.

Logan chuckled as Nikki wrapped her arms around his left, her bag in his right, she knew her luggage was heavier then his and didn't want to add to the weight, even though Logan's benched nearly 10x what her bag ways, it's this sort of consideration that she was missing in their first relationship attempt.

The two walked into the hotel, they had both already checked in the night before so they were just able to head straight for the lift and join a few others in there, it was a small family, a mother, father and a small boy, about 6 years old hiding behind his father, wearing a "Zero Count" shirt, Logan smiled down to him as Nikki stood there, his parents saw them smiling to him and looked to the shy boy as he hugged more behind his father.

Justin: He's a little shy, I'm Justin, this is my girlfriend Max and this is Austin.

Nikki smiled to them as Logan shook their hands, the British accents think on the mans voice, he looked to be about the same age as Logan, but like Logan, he's not a local, Nikki's heard the scouse accent for the past few days now and that's not it, they liked the name though, so Logan knelt down to be more on Austin's level making the boy come out of hiding a little.

Logan: If your birthday is March 16th I might just lose my mind.

They all shared a chuckle because that would be cool, he wasn't though because that would have been too sweet, Nikki watched as Logan interacted with the shy boy, not pressuring him to talk to him but making him feel more comfortable around him, imagine if Nikki did actually lose Logan for good, that would be something she'd regret for years, now she needs to work extra hard to stop that from happening.

Austin: My birthday's the 8th June.

Logan smiled with a small chuckle, this boy wasn't much older then his niece, sure, Kiera is way more excited and bubbly then Austin is but that's okay, there's nothing wrong with being a shy kid growing up, or even as an adult, Logan's met people that are shy who are older then he is, it's character building and makes people different, making Logan more happy to know them.

Logan: Well, that's funny because my birthday's the 8th of June too.

That moment looked like it made the kids life, he smiled to Logan as Logan nodded a little then he looked up to him mother and father with a huge smile on his face, he was so much less shy now and stepped out from behind Justin's legs to show Logan his "Zero Count" shirt, Logan loved the boy's change of energy, so did Nikki as she continued to watch while the lift took them too their floor.

Austin: I got this for my birthday... Your my favorite... Your going to beat the mean guy right? I don't like mean guys.

Nikki smiled when Max told her that the tickets to the show were part of that birthday bundle for him, Logan heard that as well but kept his attention onto the young lad here in front of him, it took a lot of confidence for him to walk over to him like that so Logan's not going to lie to the boy, especially about beating Ryback next week.

Logan: Of course I am. Do you know why...?

Austin nodded to him quickly because it's the team's little catch phrase, Nikki can't argue and say it's not catchy because it is, she's heard it all over, at meet ups, at shows, even trending sometimes on Social Media, Duncan and Logan really are a top team in the WWE, seeing one of them going Solo cold be a lot of fun.

Logan: ... Because the ref never counts to Zero, there is no Zero Count which means...?

Logan asked wanting him to finish the phrase off, Max, Justin and Nikki still continued to watch though as Austin looked between them all, almost like he's unsure is he should speak or not, once his mother gave him a nod, Austin looked back to Logan while toying with the bottom on his "Zero Count" shirt.

Austin: You never give up.

Logan smiled and offered the boy a hug, Max seemed really happy with this interaction and asked if they can have a photo together, Logan of course agreed so when the elevator stopped at his and Nikki's floor, Justin held the doors while Logan took a couple of photo's with Austin, one where he's down on one knee and another where he's holding the boy up, both showing the camera their muscles.

To make the encounter even more memorable for the young boy, Logan asked if anyone had a pen, they didn't but Logan did in his bag, he was just hoping he didn't have to go through his bag to get it, once he had it, he knelt back down and signed the bottom or Austin's shirt, he wrote... "No matter where you are, no matter what your doing, the ref will never go to a Zero Count"... He then put his signature beside it and got another hug from the boy, then with one more "Bye", Logan made a boys birthday even more special.

Nikki: That was really sweet of you.

Logan smiled as she took his hand into hers, Logan tries to make as much time for all the fans, whether it's high fives going down or up the ramp, or spending a few minutes talking to them in the elevator, sure he has the issue's with a few creeps but it doesn't matter, he still makes them feel special with every second he gives them.

Logan: I'm happy to do it. When I was a kid the WWE barely came to the UK so I never had moments like that... Who knows, he might join NXT in 10 years now.

Nikki chuckled to him as they went to his room, they didn't do anything other then watch movies together, this isn't really what she did with John, sure they spent time together but he never really seemed to be in the room with her, Logan is and pays nothing but attention to her, even if their not the only ones in the room, she's happy their starting over...
