HELL IN A CELL

I felt his hand slip between my legs as his lips moved with mine and I felt the ache. His hands moved closer and I immediately stopped them knowing he wouldn't hesitate in ripping my stockings which led to him sighing and leaning back in his seat.

I sat back watching him as he gazed ahead, I hadn't been on Raw last week and while I was thankful due to my sister having been back there. I wasn't sure how to feel about the way it ended.

Randy had claimed victory over Dean but he wasn't able to celebrate it.

But that wasn't the part that left me confused but the curb stomp that was delivered to him by Seth. Randy hadn't bothered to bring it up since then and I hoped there was no backstage altercation between the two.

Or more so, Hunter deciding to punish Randy for my absence, but then again I was no factor in his life any longer.

I liked to believe that I could read Randy and he happened to be the same he had been when I showed up on his door step last week. I knew I was a coward for running away but I didn't like the idea of being ambushed or being told things I already knew. I knew I loved Hunter and I knew Randy wanted me and I let him have me while he believed I loved Colby.

In the end it didn't matter who he thought I was with, he knew I loved someone else. It didn't make me feel better about running to him each time but it was the only defense I had because I wasn't forcing him into anything he could turn me away at any time.

"You need to stop doing that" I sighed with his eyes on me, observing me getting lost in thought I guess.

"What?"

"That thing with the smirk and the look in your eyes like you know something I don't. And kissing me, I don't want to kiss you Orton." I shoved his shoulder.

"Then maybe you shouldn't have fucked me earlier"

I laughed and shook my head more surprised that he actually let me considering how he liked being in control.

"Oh whose Viper was poking me" I narrowed my eyes at him feeling my thoughts drift.

"Didn't mean you had to wrap your hand around it" He mused but prevented me from responding as he kissed me.

I had spent sometime with Alanna in my down time because even though my mom didn't treat me differently I didn't want to risk being ambushed again. And being with Alanna led to less time moping around about me being punished by the man I was in love with wife while he could care less...

I broke the kiss as it seemed my thoughts didn't want to drift away from the main man in my life.

"You know I have someone. I don't understand why you would want me when I do and I'm basically cheating with you" I mumbled into his lips, Hunter wasn't mine but it did feel like I was being unfaithful.

"Because I don't care how I have you. I just want you and I happen to know ever since we slept together you've only been with me" He rested his forehead against mine before kissing it as we moved back into our seats.

"How do you know that?"

"Colby is probably pissed since he saw us together which would explain the attack on me and you're very eager"

I sighed as I saw a limo pull in past us with Hunter, Stephanie and Seth getting out.

"Why aren't you there?" I whispered.

"I would rather not stand beside someone who seems to have hurt you"

I frowned feeling my body tense.

"Randy.." I began wanting to correct him on Colby because he seemed to be pushing everyone away from him for me and I didn't want that and I didn't want him to think he had to but he cut me off.

"Its okay. I figured it out awhile back" He turned and I frowned confused as maybe he did know it was Hunter.

"And you're fine with it?"

"You get mad at yourself because your body weakens at my touch. Well have you ever wondered why I am like the plague when we both care about each other but I'm the one chasing after you constantly" I focused on his eyes instead of The Authority entering the building.

"You are my weakness. I'm not sure why or when you have become that but I need you, crave you, I am truly obsessed and it scares me and perhaps it would be best if you did ignore me."

My sister's words swirled around in my head but I pushed them back, Randy knew I had someone. He knew I loved him and he was here I couldn't stop him nor did I want to because he was all I had.

"Well I wish I could ignore you but my body wants you" I shrugged feeling his hand on my lap. "And you kept your distance before and it made me feel weird however annoying you kissing me and touching me has been before."

He chuckled and then glanced out of the window. "This hurts you too though, being with me because you want to be with him"

"I know" I sighed as I saw Brie and John.

"Are you ready?" I heard him and focused on him again.

"Are you?"

"I might lose but I don't see a title reign happening for me now where as yours means more."

"I don't really care anymore. I know once I get in the ring and hear the crowd I will and I'll be Nikki Bella but I just want this night to be over."

I heard tapping on the window and frowned and saw my sister. I had hoped the tinted windows would prevent her from seeing us but she most likely recognized the car.

I rolled down the window, "yes?"

"John wants you two to meet us in his locker room as soon as you are done here" she glanced beside me before moving on.

"Looks like we're in trouble" He sighed and opened the door.

I hopped out and went to the booth to get my things before heading inside with him.

"So do you know what happens when you win Brie tonight?"

"When? You have faith in me, Orton"

"Always Bella"

"Well yeah whoever wins the other becomes CinderBella. I mean it sounds fun having Brie as my slave but it will just be awkward with how things are between us right now."

I shrugged before he opened John's locker room door.

"So what's going on?" I questioned seeing them both seated on the couch.

John of course slowly began, "Well the way I see it right now. Every person in this room is not completely happy and I know its due to actions but I don't think we should really be blaming anyone individually because we have all to some extent made this blow up into some big family feud behind closed doors as well."

I sighed and stood back against the wall while Randy simply folded his arms and stared.

"Nicole, you were requested by our boss to betray Brie and I understand that you didn't know she would be fired. Brianna, I told you to simply not push things but you did somehow anger Stephanie and that is not Nicole's fault. You two went silent from one another for months before exchanging words on Raw and well last week. I don't see this coming to an end because as Brie's husband I like to believe to stand by my wife and somehow that has resulted in it being Randy and Nikki vs John and Brie. "

He shook his head, "Even out there that's basically what is happening, now I know I cannot tell anyone how to feel but bottom line is this. We stand together, there are enough people back here talking shit about us, individually trying to tear us down and we are making ourselves vulnerable to it all. We go out there tonight or well you two go out there now and may the best Bella win and may the best brother win and that's where it ends.."

"What do you mean?" I frowned.

"I mean we are wrestlers so we go out there and put on a helluva show for that crowd and get all our frustrations out so that once we get back here. Everything that has happened remains in the past."

Of course...

"I'm fine with that because I am honestly sick of fighting. I would just like a sincere apology from my sister.."

"I think I deserve one too, Brie"

She sighed while I wasn't ready to forgive her, yes I had betrayed her in front of the world but her words hurt so much more.

"Fine I'm sorry Nicole, you have a job and I let my anger allow me to make assumptions on your actions when I am sure you were forced into a corner just like many others back here."

I rolled my eyes knowing she didn't mean it because all she saw was Hunter. But John was right, due to my mistakes we were all apart and I didn't have anyone else back here when I was made the villain.

"Sorry Brie.." I sighed.

"I'm sorry too, I may have said some things trying to defend Nicole. I mean I certainly meant every last word but I do apologize" Randy mused and we all rolled our eyes.

"Okay that's settled I guess you two need to be making your way to the gorilla." John stood up dismissing us, he was honestly like an old man at times and that's how he was perfect for my sister. Both believed they could treat you like a kid...

"And what about your apology?" I questioned John.

"For?"

"For treating us like kids!"

He rolled his eyes, "fine I'm sorry that all of you are too stubborn that I have to go into daddy mode"

"Ew don't say it like that, I'm sure Brie gets that every night but we don't want it" I shook my head and giggled as we all hugged it out.

"I have to go." I smiled before moving out with Randy following beside me.

"You're still mad?" He whispered into my neck.

"Yeah" I felt him kiss the side of my head and I smiled but froze as I saw Hunter up ahead. I hadn't seen him face to face in a couple of weeks so I guess that's what made it easy to just sink into Randy.

"I need to go to the gorilla, I'm sure you have some things to discuss" I quickly walked off but felt Hunter reach for my arm as I passed him.

"Yes?"

"Goodluck out there Miss Bella." He gave me a small smile and I gave a nod before walking on, wishing he hadn't said anything to me because I couldn't trust whether it was sincere or some sort of warning.

***

"Ladies and Gentlemen there is an agreed upon stipulation for this match. The loser must be the other's personal assistant for a period of 30 days or quit the WWE..."

I gave a smug look because Nikki Bella was not going to be anyone's assistant or be quitting the only good thing in her life. I briefly stared above us at the Cell knowing Randy would be facing John in it. He didn't really seem to care and I knew the only reason he would have made it personal was due to me. And while I wasn't sure how I felt about my sister's relationship, he was John's brother and I didn't want our differences tarnishing that.

We had locked up, her delivering several dropkicks to my face. Me countering each move she tried to do on me.

Apart of facing my sister made me happy because years ago we could barely wrestle. We were called up early because we were a unique pair but that didn't stop us and now we were going head to head. Yes it was due to The Authority trying to pin us together but we were on top where we always wanted to be. I was on top with my sister, kicking her ass but nevertheless I had her by my side.

I tried pinning her but she kicked out and I felt frustration sink in, if I lost I would be the lower Bella. Stephanie would see me as weak as well as Hunter, my sister would be able to throw it in my face when this was all I had. I took off my fearless bands and tossed it aside as I stood up and gripped her hands in mine standing on her hair as she screamed out.

We might have said our apologies back there but she had hurt me and I had hurt her and if we didn't get it out here I felt sorry for the people backstage.

Once I was satisfied I moved back and slammed her onto the mat hearing a groan from her.

"You ready to be my assistant huh? You ready to be my assistant?" I rolled my eyes as I gripped her hair in my fist and lift her onto my back using it.

The more she tried fighting the harder I pulled and flipped her over only she wasn't slammed into the mat but landed on her feet.

She delivered a Bella Buster which caused me to groan before feeling her cover me. Seriously? It wasn't going to be that easy.

My sister gained moment sadly as she delivered several dropkicks to me which sent me down.

She went for another but I quickly rolled out before she could. As I tried getting up I saw her do a suicide dive and groaned as I landed on my knee.

Fuck.

I felt her toss me into the ring and climb the top rope and deliver a drop kick from it, sending me down. I soon fought back though countering all her moves and soon had her within The Rack Attack.

I delivered it and waited for the inevitable but my sister kicked out and I gasped.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Brie Bella doesn't know how to give up just like her husband John Cena."

I reached for her but as I did she pulled my arm and quickly locked in the STFU on me.

"Aaaaaaah"

"Brie Bella paying tribute to her husband who will be competing in the main event tonight!"

I rolled around trying to find a way to get out because there was no way I would ever tap and soon found the ropes.

She was forced to break the lock while I crawled to the other side of the ring and as soon as she reached for me I delivered an elbow to her sending her down.

I watched as she reached for the ropes and slowly got to her feet, stumbling.

And as she turned around I immediately moved forward and delivered an RKO and quickly climbing over her for the count.

1...2...3...

"Nikki Bella securing a victory over her sister with the signature of the man Brie's husband will be facing off with tonight. Talk about an insult to injury.."

"That's the Ruthless Nikki Bella she has displayed within this match, aligning herself with a man who is viscous."

"And your winner of the match, Nikki Bella!"

I smiled brightly before waving my hand in front of my face.

"You can't see me!"

I got to the top rope raising my hands similar to Randy's before vacating the ring and watching as she was laid out in the ring.

"I love you." I blew her a kiss before moving up. "And I am the BETTER BELLA!"

I walked backstage with a smile seeing Randy slowly clapping his hands while John rolled his eyes with a smile.

"What? She did your moves I had to do the same."

"She's my wife." He stated and I was about to say something, what I didn't know, but felt Randy's arms around me.

"A bit off but since you didn't ask me it was pretty good. Pretty hot. Pretty Fearless" he whispered into my ear as I held onto him.

I saw Brie enter and she simply rolled her eyes as John did the same and I pulled away despite not wanting to, feeling my mood dampen a bit knowing they were judging me.

"Good luck out there Orton."

"Well you made the ring ready for me, so I could win" I heard his voice behind me and raised a thumbs up continuing my way down.

***

"What did I miss?" I questioned as I had taken a quick shower.

"Just them kicking each other's asses. Can I ask you something and don't go all defensive on me?" I sighed doubting that would be happening.

"What?"

"Why does Randy think that you are involved with Colby?" I frowned but didn't bother questioning how she knew that.

"Its better than the alternative don't you think? He is already not so keen on Colby while Hunter he loves greatly. He is family, I don't want to hurt him.."

"Hurt Hunter.."

"Who? Sorry I mean yes if he finds out I'm with Randy it will only hurt him." I shrugged.

"So you're with Randy now. And what if Randy confronts Colby?"

I shrugged, " I haven't spoken to Colby in ages so as far as Randy goes he sees it as his way in"

"And Hunter?"

"What about him?" I asked a bit frustrated with all the questions I didn't feel like answering and wasn't sure how to.

"When last have you spoken to him?"

"Besides being tortured into meetings with him and Stephanie. Last month."

I decided to keep him wishing me luck to myself...

"And do you miss him?"

I kept my eyes on the screen.

"Why are you asking if you don't care?"

"Well I am trying to care Nicole. Stop being so difficult."

"Of course I miss him I'm just trying not to think about him because all I see now is him standing behind her while she tears me down." I breath.

"What if she knows?"

"Seriously Brianna?" I narrowed my eyes because that was the last thing I needed to hear.

"I'm just asking"

"She doesn't. She's a fucking McMahon she would cut off his fucking balls." I snapped.

"Not if it affected the McMahon's honourable name."

"No, there is no way she knows, don't put stuff into my head. If she found out I would be packing my bags long time ago and Colby would have told me. Hunter would have..."
