"I'm not quite ready for you.
I don't have love for you right now,
at least not the kind you need."

"This is honestly unnecessary" She sighed as we pulled up to a house.

"I'm only scheduled until tonight and you were about to fly out anyway." I smirked as I had gone down for my usual morning gym sessions since I was avoiding my fellow Authority members, only to see Nicole in the lobby checking out.

While we had all decided to be one big happy fucking family all over again. John was naïve if he thought those two would simply bury it all with one fight. He had hope though and while they were back to being sisters there was clearly still some hostility even from his side last night.

The moment Nicole delivered that RKO I could see his eyes widen and him roll them as well while I was certainly happy. It might have been a simple move, spur of the moment thing, but she could have done anything yet she chose mine.

"I just felt like flying to my mom's house. Brie is on the road with John now, I'm not scheduled till next week. I'm just... There's no need for me being on the road."

I nodded recalling how John's words had left her speechless the previous night while I didn't like it. She didn't have to be my wife to do my moves or my girlfriend, the fact was she did it. With her actual boyfriend probably watching which said something.

That she wants to make him jealous?

Its called RKO Outta Nowhere for a reason.

So?

She did it out of impulse because I'm on her mind.

"Maybe not on the road but in my bed there always is a need for your body Garcia, I was disappointed to find you gone last night when I got back. I was hoping to have someone to lick my wounds with, I mean I didn't get low blowed or anything but..."

She narrowed her eyes at me but then smiled, not being able to be how she had been in the beginning. She would glare at me and I would love it when she would give in to my touch but I loved this more. Having her break out into a smile because she trusted me, she knew that I wasn't in it for games or one night of fucking because although it wasn't gentle it was not simply a fuck.

She knew I was head over heels for her and although she hadn't said the same, she couldn't be without me and that was enough for me to remain by her side.

I opened the door and dropped my bag beside it and watched how her eyes scanned the house. She thought it was silly hiring it out for the afternoon while I saw it as a day for us to just have each other's company.

She had spent sometime at my house but we didn't even have much privacy with my parents being over quite a lot which I ended up regretting with them questioning me about her.

"Where are you going?" I called after her as she was halfway up the staircase.

"Upstairs to change. The hot tub looks nice.." She shrugged glancing through the glass doors from where she stood.

"Nothing I haven't seen before, Bella"

She didn't respond, continuing her way up, and I felt my phone in my pocket and sighed as I saw it was Hunter.

"Yes?"

"Where are you?"

I knew that tone but he had no reason to be mad at me.

"Why?"

"Well I called a meeting and you aren't in the room I put you in"

I sighed and so did he.

"You're with Nicole."

"As a matter of fact, yes." I whispered, glancing up to the rooms upstairs.

"Randy, I don't like how this family is being split due to you believing she is with Colby" I could hear the disapproval in his voice which did hurt a bit.

He was the older brother I never had and while John's views on my affection for Nicole were swayed by Brie. I figured Hunter would be objective and see how I hadn't felt this way in so long and support me by asking his wife to take it easier on her...

"I don't believe. I know she is.." I shook my head trying not to scream out at everyone thinking I was crazy when Nicole knew the same.

"Well either way. You shouldn't let yourself be ruled by what you feel for her.."

I sighed and moved to the outside, not wanting Nicole to hear my words.

"Hunter, I have expressed to you many times how I feel about her. You know after Samantha it has been hard for me to even think of leaving myself open like that and I know she is taken but I am in love with her."

"You are not." He stated firmly.

"What makes you say that?" I frowned, intrigued to know what he had to say considering he sometimes knew me better.

"Nicole is the sister-in-law of John, she is a beautiful woman and constantly around. You say you haven't left yourself available since Samantha because you have been in work mode. Here comes Nicole who is always around without you putting in effort. It was inevitable, just because you want her doesn't mean you love her. Its lust Orton once you have her or if you have her you'll be over it..."

I breath in as it seemed everyone didn't believe I was capable of feeling more. I understood Nicole's uncertainty because she doubted herself but they had to hear the sincerity in my voice, "I thought so too but after the first couple times even after the first night I knew it was more watching her, she was.."

"First couple times of what exactly?"

"Sleeping with her. I know, I know I'm playing with fire but I just can't get enough of her that's how I know. You're married and I know you and Stephanie have this solid relationship so you have to understand. I want that with Nicole, having someone who stands by your side, loves what you love, who is ambitious, wants to grow and become a huge success... someone who wouldn't hold me back but grow with me.
And I see it all with Nicole, Hunter. I see her with Alanna how my daughter loves her and no other woman besides Samantha can make her as happy and that's how she makes me. Whether I'm being the guy Colby is too much of a pussy to be or just having her lie in my arms waiting for her to wake up. Nicole is.. She's just everything I never knew I wanted, needed, craved.."

I spotted her from inside, moving down the steps.

"I am so fucking in love with her and I honestly feel sorry for Colby because I won't stop until she is mine. And I can see me getting closer the more he ignores her. She's going to fall for me and eventually she will love me, maybe not how much I love her because its unexplainable and I...I have to go.."

I smiled as she opened the doors.

"Rand.." I heard him before ending the call and slipping my phone into my pocket.

"So do I have to go upstairs to change as well?"

"No, I had to change my flight to tonight too."

I nodded.

"Well you can relax for a bit. I'll be calling Alanna and then joining you." I kissed her cheek feeling a bit worked up after that and didn't want her to notice...

◇◇◇

"He keeps watching you its annoying, Nicole" I heard Brie shout into my ear as I slipped a garter onto my leg, might as well do it for the party since I doubted there would be a ring put on my finger.

"Well I can't tell him to stop when you don't want me to head over to him?" I rolled my eyes knowing he was and it was strange. I guess the boob job had helped keep one guy interested while it wasn't enough to keep Nick entertained.

"And stick your tongue down his throat when you are still in love with Nick? I don't think so"

"He kissed me and its only one week, I'm stuck with him because of you might I add." I reminded her due to him being her husband's best man.

"Yeah well I'm regretting it right now. The last thing I need is the maid of honour and best man missing on my wedding day, banging in the coat closet!" She shook her head giggling and I knew she was reaching her limits soon.

"You have watched too many movies, Brianna."

"I have to though. I'm a bit scared, I'm going to be a wife this weekend. Its a big step but I'm happy I'll have you by my side if you hadn't gotten that boob job maybe you could stand at the altar on my behalf. I'm probably going to faint"

I sighed as she rambled making me smile as she set her head in my lap and I slowly ran my fingers through her curls.

She was right, she would be a wife in less than a week. Mrs Cena or Mrs Colace- Cena, whichever she decided, it wouldn't be The Bella Twins as a unit but the Cena household would be her unit.

I suppressed the thoughts of losing my sister a couple months after losing my on and off again boyfriend.

"I'm still more curvier than you, Brie. You'll do fine, John is your knight in jorts and a t-shirt with a catchy slogan. Once your eyes meet his as you walk down that aisle no one else will exist, only you two. We will all fade into the background, even the beautiful musical sound and the world will stop..."

I smiled brightly, staring into the distance only I wasn't.

I was staring across the room at Randy Orton who hadn't moved from where I left him earlier in the night.

He raised the glass he held with a small smirk or what I thought was one and I glanced down at my sister instead, "you'll be happy with John. You are perfect for each other and if anyone deserves a happily ever after after all the heartache they have endured, its you Brie.."

"What made you use my move?" I heard him after I had been resting my head back, soaking in the rays.

I sighed as the strobe lights disappeared but as I opened my eyes the blue ones were there, staring at me as they had been two years before.

"I don't know. I was just annoyed with her doing John's and she kicked out of The Rack Attack. I guess it was cute that she used his as a tribute to him while mine was more like revenge.." I shrugged.

"Well it certainly did the trick and ensured that she will be at service for you." He smiled pouring some wine into two glasses.

"Yeah we'll see how it goes next week, we know how stubborn she can be. You're looking at me again" I smiled as he handed me a glass.

"You're beautiful, why shouldn't I?" He said obviously as his fingers reached for mine.

"You know what I mean" I shook my head and he sighed and moved closer to me.

"I just realized I won't be seeing you for a week" He whispered into my neck.

"And?" I questioned despite not liking the idea even though I had planned on leaving without saying goodbye. That had been simply because I didn't feel like dealing with the Cena's and more of their judgemental looks if I maybe stayed and waited for Randy backstage or headed to his room.

"That's too long without you, maybe you should help me with surviving this week?" I felt him kiss into my neck and set my glass down.

He slowly kissed along my jawline and I closed my eyes, moving closer to him, until he stopped and nudged his nose over mine allowing his lips to graze over mine as well.

"I don't know what I'll do when I can no longer have you, Nicole.." He whispered into my lips and my hands held his face, briefly kissing him before he spoke again.

"My mind is my worst enemy but you... When it comes to you I don't mind fighting with myself all day because you're what I need Nicole. I don't have my daughter here with me, you make me happy Bella. It might be wrong of me but I hope that Colby never wants to claim you in public because that would mean I would lose this..."

"Randy..." Before I could say anything at his words he quickly gripped my face and despite the rough touch gently kissed me, pushing his tongue past my lips.

I wrapped my arms around him despite guilt filling me not because of my sister's words or me somehow being unfaithful to Hunter. But me lying to Randy about it all, I didn't want to hurt Hunter but I didn't want to hurt the one man who had shown me true affection even if my heart wasn't made for him.

"I can't keep doing this with you." I whispered feeling his hands between us before he lift me up and eased me onto him in a swift movement causing me to moan against his cheek.

"Then don't. Being trapped by you is enough for me." He smirked and I giggled.

"I knew you were somewhat insane Orton, but it seems to get worse each time I'm with you" I smiled and didn't move and he didn't move me either, despite his Viper being nestled inside me.

"Because you're what drives me insane, Nicole Garcia" he mused. "And even though I'm not in the best position, apart from this one. I wouldn't mind being committed to an Asylum for thinking there was a future for us."

I sighed and buried my face in his neck feeling him place a kiss on my cheek before tracing his fingers back and forth on my back.

"Nicole.." I heard him after what seemed like forever.

"Mmmm.."

"I have to go"

I sighed and leaned back, half falling asleep on his lap feeling The Viper leave me causing him to mutter under his breath despite for once even when so close, not doing anything.

I stood up, gazing around the beautiful scenery seeming like we were in the middle of nowhere.

"I wish you didn't have to.."

He frowned before standing up as well and his arms tightened around me and I wasn't sure where my words came from.

"If I weren't opening the show, Bella. I would go for an actual round instead of simply being trapped by you but you have a flight to catch as well"

I held onto his back as he stared into my eyes searching and for once I knew for what but even though I wished I could give him what he wanted.

My heart belonged to someone else...
