Monday

After getting some much needed rest, the group all sit down together in the living room. The first to walk in the room was Caleb, with Duncan following soon after. They woke up a few hours before the ladies, so they decided to watch Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones while they waited. While the girls sleep, the guys decide to talk business.

Duncan: We need to make our rivalry against Miz and Mizdow a good one.

Caleb: I agree. We've spent years fighting each other and our rivalry was listed as one of the greatest rivalries in WWE history. We should be able to come up with somethin'.

Duncan: I've got an idea, but I don't want to suggest it to Vince until I've got everyone involved on board with it.

Caleb: What is it?

Duncan: Remember when I started dating Nic? We asked her to be in the storyline.

Caleb: Yeah. I used to show up and act like I was her best friend all to get in your head.

Duncan: Exactly. Made the rivalry so much more entertaining to watch.

Caleb: So your plan is to get Maryse involved in the storyline?

Duncan: Yep. Think about it, it could be good for her career too. And Nicole's.

Caleb: How could it be good for Nicole's?

Duncan: I don't know. Maybe they have a rivalry like Trish and Lita did when Trish was dating Jeff?

Caleb: Sounds good to me, man.

Maryse and Nicole enter the room some time after their conversation. Instead of asking the guys to turn off their movie, they cuddled up next to them and watched it as well. Nicole practically lays down on top of Duncan, while Maryse sits next to Caleb and rests her head against his arm, her back laying against his ribs. Caleb looks down at her and she smiles up to him.

Maryse: I can move if this is too close.

Caleb: You can sit wherever you'd like, darlin'. Just don't go tryin' to get me in trouble with Mike.

Nicole: You guys are watching Star Wars?

Duncan and Caleb: Hell yeah!

Maryse: I didn't think you two would be...uh...what's the word?

Caleb: Nerds?

Maryse: Yes. Nerds.

Caleb: We're not nerds...we're the kings of nerds.

The girls chuckle while the guys fist bump each other.

Nicole: Why are you guys watching this one? It's so sad.

Duncan: Shhh. Anakin's killing the Sand People.

Maryse, whispering to Caleb: Why is he killing them?

Caleb: They killed his mom.

Maryse: Isn't he one of the good guys though?

Caleb: Yeah, I'll explain later.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the couch, Duncan struggles to watch the movie as Nicole wiggles around on him, trying to get comfortable. Or at least that's what he thought she was doing. Really and truly, she's ready for more Juggernaut lovin' and is trying to get her man's attention. Fortunately for Nicole, her grinding her hips and ass against his crotch is working.

Duncan, whispering: Whatcha doin'?

Nicole, whispering and grinding slowly: Do you want me to stop?

Caleb: Hell yeah!

Duncan, looking at his friend: What!? What'd I miss?

Caleb: The Jedi showing up in the Arena.

Duncan: Dammit.

Caleb, smirking: I thought you were watching it?

Duncan: It's a little difficult to when I've got (gestures to Nicole) this going on on top of me!

Caleb, still smirking: Yeah, right.

Nicole: Caleb, you're telling me that if you had a beautiful woman like me...or Maryse...moving her body on you, you'd be able to focus on the movie you're watching?

The Southern Juggernaut looks over at the beautiful French Canadian, who now has her hand on his chest. He looks back up at the movie, his smirk still planted on his face.

Caleb: That's not what I said; however, if there were someone that wasn't in a committed relationship, we could test it.

Maryse: Don't worry, Caleb. You're a good guy. You'll find someone.

Caleb, with a smile: Yeah, right. If you'll excuse me.

He waits for Maryse to sit up off of him before standing up and leaving the room. The French Canadian watches as he leaves, a part of her wondering if she said something wrong, and another wanting to help Caleb find someone that loves him as much as he deserves.

Nicole: Don't take it personally, Maryse.

Duncan: Caleb gave up a long time ago.

Maryse: Gave up?

Duncan: I'm sure he'll tell you about it. I don't wanna tell you something he wants to keep a secret. Not something this serious at least.

Maryse: I don't understand. How can someone give up on love?

Nicole: I guess you'll have to ask him.

The French Canadian stands up and walks to the kitchen. She stands on the opposite side of the counter as Caleb and plants her hands on the countertop. WWE's Man in Black looks at her, takes a sip of his cup of water, puts the cup down, and looks her in the eyes.

Caleb: Hey darlin', what can I help ya with?

Maryse: You gave up on love?

Caleb, taking another sip: Yeah, pretty sad, right?

Maryse: It's very sad. Why'd you give up?

Caleb, putting the cup down: In high school, I dated my best friend for awhile. About seven months, I think. Anyway, thinks didn't work out and she dumped me. I don't want to go through the same shit again.

Maryse: But to give up completely is too far. You need to get back out there.

Caleb: No.

Maryse: Why not?

Caleb: I'm too fucked up. I've got trust issues, PTSD, anxiety, and a million other issues. On top of that, I'm constantly on the road. I don't have time to truly get to know someone.

Maryse: You got to know me.

Caleb: Yeah, but you're...different.

Maryse: How am I different?

Caleb: That's a good question. One I've been trying to answer myself since I met you.

The beautiful French Canadian smiles. She knows Caleb's being honest with her. She can see it in his eyes. If you look into the windows of his soul hard enough, you can see how much pain he's hiding behind a smile and sarcasm.

Timeskip

Hours after the movie finishes, the group decides to head out to the spectacular beaches the island has to offer. The guys changed before they left, but the girls insisted that they'd wait to change at the beach.

The Juggernauts give them their privacy and aren't displeased with what they see when the two women finish changing. Nicole is the first to finish changing. She runs over to them and Duncan almost passes out on the spot.

Nicole: Hey guys. Babe, you okay?

Duncan: Huh? What? Yeah, yeah I'm fine. You look...

The Bella kisses her boyfriend. Then, she turns to Caleb and points in the direction the changing rooms are.

Nicole: Hey, Caleb, Duncan and I are going to set everything up. Maryse is still changing, so can you-?

Caleb: Go ahead. I'll wait for her.

The couple walks off and sets their towels down. Caleb knows that they're looking for a chance to make out, so he leaves them to it and walks over to the changing rooms. The wooden floors creek and croak as he walks up the stairs.

Maryse: Hello? Who's out there?

Caleb: Just me, darlin'.

Maryse: Oh, thank God. I thought it was some random weirdo.

Caleb: Nope. Just a familiar weirdo.

He can hear Maryse laughing inside the changing room. A few minutes go by and Maryse still hasn't come out of the changing room.

Caleb: Everything okay in there, darlin'?

Maryse: Uhhh...where's Nicole?

Caleb: She's preoccupied with the taller Juggernaut.

Maryse: Okay...can you come in here?

Caleb: You sure?

Maryse: Yes, just-just get in here.

She unlocks the door and allows him to walk inside. He enters the small room and is taken aback by how stunning Maryse looks.

Caleb: Damn! Who're you tryin' to impress?

Maryse, with a small smile: Thanks.

The Southern Juggernaut isn't too distracted by her body to see why she called him in there: she's been crying. Her eyes are still a little red from doing so and tears are continuing to build up.

Caleb: What's wrong, darlin'?

Maryse: I feel like I'm losing my best friend. Mike and I have been dating for six years. He proposed last year and now that the wedding is getting closer, we've been fighting so much more.

As she talks, she starts getting worked up more. Tears fall down her cheeks while she sobs uncontrollably. Winters places his hands on her shoulders and gets her to look him in the eyes.

Caleb: Maryse, look at me, it's okay. You two have been goin' through some shit lately, but everything'll turn out just fine.

Maryse: You don't know that. What if...what if this is my only shot at love and I'm blowing it?

Caleb: Darlin', there's no one more amazing than you. I'm not sayin' that you and Mike won't make it, but on the off chance you don't, it's not gonna be your last chance at love.

Maryse: Really?

Caleb: One thing everyone knows about me is that I don't lie. Well, I do my best not to, I'm still human. With that said, I'd never lie to you, Maryse. You're the smartest, most talented, and most beautiful woman I've ever met. You'll find love again if Mike isn't the one. Trust me.

Maryse, hugging him: Thank you, Caleb. You're really good at pep talks.

Caleb, hugging back: Thanks, darlin'. I do what I can.

As they hug, they both realize how close they are to each other. Neither want to be the one to end the moment though, as it doesn't feel like any normal hug. It feels right. Without noticing it, Winters rubs his hand up and down Maryse's back slowly.

Caleb: Hey Maryse?

Maryse: Yes?

Caleb: You're really warm.

Maryse, laughing lightly: Thank you?

Caleb: You're welcome. Sorry, I know it's random. Speaking of which, Duncan has a proposition for you.

Maryse: And what would that be?

Caleb: He'd like to get you involved in our feud with Miz and Mizdow. I like the idea, but we want your opinion before we send the idea to Vince.

Maryse: I think it's a good idea. We can start getting me involved now.

Caleb: How's that?

Maryse: I just have to take pictures with you and Duncan in it. People will start wondering why the Miz's fiancée is on vacation with his rivals.

Caleb: I like it.

A few moments go by. The two stay hugging each other in comfortable silence.

Caleb: Do you want me to let go?

Maryse: N-no. Can we just stay like this? Just for now?

Caleb: You got it, darlin'. Just don't get me in trouble with Mike.

Maryse: I won't. I swear. Just hold me...please?

Caleb nods and holds her close to him. They stay like this for awhile before enjoying the rest of the day with the Bella Twin and the other half of the Juggernauts.

A/N: Thanks so much for reading. Sorry for the wait. I hope this chapter was worth it. Anyway, I will talk to y'all next time.
