Nikki Bella had always been a force of nature inside the WWE ring. A mature, powerful woman who commanded entire arenas with a single look.Outside the spotlight, however, her heart carried scars from a turbulent marriage that made her cautious about love.You came from a different battlefield the octagon of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. A professional UFC fighter. Younger than her. Used to violence inside the cage, yet incredibly patient when it came to earning her trust.You met online. Casual messages turned into late-night calls. Laughter turned into vulnerability.Nikki took her time. She was a mother first to a four-year-old blond little boy named Matteo. And she would never let just anyone into his world.But you waited.And slowly, gently, you built something real.

The house in Napa Valley glowed under the golden sunset. Vineyards stretched endlessly beyond the windows, and the warm breeze carried the scent of grapes and summer air.Nikki sat on the couch in a light summer dress. You were beside her, your arm resting behind her shoulders.

— You know it’s impossible to take you seriously when you make that tough-fighter face —she teased softly.You leaned closer, brushing your nose against hers.

— You can be tough in the octagon. Here? You are just mine.–The brunette whispered, her lips touching your lips. Nikki laughed quietly, her fingers sliding to the back of your neck.You slipped a hand around her waist, pulling her closer. The moment slowed. Warm. Gentle.Your lips met in a slow, affectionate kiss unhurried, soft.

— Mm… —The brunette whispered against your mouth —you’re a bad influence. We can't do this right now, But after Matteo go to the school...you'll be all mine.–The woman said to you mischievous, and when she was going to kiss you again,a tiny voice echoed down the hallway.

— Mamaaa!–Little Matteo's voice came from the stairs,Nikki quickly pulled away, smoothing her dress and trying to compose herself.Matteo appeared in the living room, messy blond curls and curious eyes scanning the scene.Wearing Snoopy pajamas.

— What were you doing?–The little boy asked and Nikki cleared her throat.

— Just talking, sweetheart.–The woman said and Matteo didn’t seem convinced. Instead, he ran straight to you, arms wide open.

— Big uncle! Pick me up!–Matteo asked you in a cute way and You immediately crouched down and lifted him easily into your arms.

—Mommy said that if I eat my vegetables, go to bed early, and go to school, I'll get as strong as you. –Matteo spoke to you with his short arms wrapped around your neck.Nikki watched the two of you, arms crossed but smiling in pure admiration.

— He wants to compete with you all the time. Apparently you're the Lou Ferrigno kids version. –Nikki said jokingly, mentioning the bodybuilder Lou. You had a well-structured and muscular body. It was a hot topic on the internet and also within the Garcia family, your girlfriend's family.Matteo cupped your face with his tiny hands.

— Are you gonna live here forever?–The little blue-eyed boy asked. And Nikki gave a little giggle.

— Matteo… —Nikki warned gently but smiling and the little boy pouted.

— I like big uncle.–Matteo said cutely and Nikki’s expression softened completely.

— I like him too.–Nikki responded by looking at you lovingly, and Matteo noticed and gave a mischievous little smile.

—You like it more than you let on, Mommy. Aunt Brie said you're in love.–The little one let go, and then Nikki laughed before giving him a disapproving look.

—You don't know what it's like to be in love. It's an adult feeling, sweetie.–Nikki said looking at her son this time. And Matteo smile.

—It's when adults get heart eyes! –Matteo answered innocently, and both you and Nikki laughed.Matteo smiled, resting his head on your shoulder.

—So...,philosopher of love, let's get on with taking off these pajamas and getting ready for school, hm?–Nikki said to Matteo as she got up from the sofa. Matteo obeyed and prompt he obeyed leaving your arms, but still with his little body beside you.
