A/N=Hello guys! I've posted yet another new story even though I have piles of other stories and requests I need to complete but while I have this spirit to write this story, then why not? This time, I try to use the pairing of Punk/Eve. I remember reading some stories with this pairing and I've decided to do the same. This story will contain fluff so to those whose against these scenes and cheesy lines, you guys might want to click back. Some of the superstars and divas' attitudes might be different than their on or off screen one but just assume it's logic. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own anybody recognizable and this story is purely for entertainment.


"Oh come on, Daniel! I've known you for like, forever? Can't you at least find me someone suitable?"

"This is hard, Phil! If your mom knew what you're about to do, you're dead!"

"As long as we keep our mouths shut, she will never know. You know how much I love my mom but her decision to marry me off to Kelly is a complete no no, not after I knew her habit of changing partners every single day. You expect a cheap woman like her to be my wife? If only my mom knew, Daniel..."

"Listen, as your best friend, I can only support what you want to do, I'm totally a hundred percent behind you, Phil"

"Then find me a...", a crashing sound of cars took over before Phil Brooks could even finished his sentence.

"Phil! You okay, man?", Daniel Bryan asked his best friend of 25 years worriedly, after he heard a loud crash on the other line.

Phil started to tense up, gritting in his teeth and widening his eyes in anger. Just great, he thought. One problem stuck, another problem came. First he was forced to marry his mother's choice and now, his newly bought Ferrari sport car got hit? Whoever did the damage would get the same damage from him. "A douchebag just hit my car, Dan! This reckless driver is going to get it!"

"Phil... Don't do anything st...", Phil hung up.

He loosened up his tie and impatiently walked out of his car, to the person that drove probably the cheapest car he had ever seen. He knocked the glass window angrily, yelling bad words towards the driver.

The door car opened as a woman got out of the car, looking all panicked and shocked at the same time. "I'm sorry, sir! I didn't mean to hit your car! I was kinda zoned out a bit! I promise you I'll pay any damage I've done to your car but please don't sue me!", she babbled nonstop.

Phil shrugged his feeling of anger and replaced it with a confused chuckle instead. This woman in front of him looked miserable with her mascara smeared down her cheeks.

"Alright! You promise me you'll pay back all the damage, right?"

"Yes, sir!"

He put his finger on his chin, thinking, "Okay then, pay up $10 000 now!".

Her jaw literally dropped when she heard him. $10 000? Where in the hell she would get that amount of money? That day was probably the worst day of her life ever. After finding out that her childhood friend, Zack, had a cancer and need huge amount of money for surgery, now a stranger wanted $10 000 for a mere scratch and bump?

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me and you promised. Now pay up!", Phil extended his hand.

"But I don't have that amount of money, sir! How can I pay you? How about I pay you $100 for now and I'll pay with that amount every month?", she pleaded.

"You want to give me $100? Then what? You'll run away from your responsibility just like that? Well listen here, lady! I don't give a damn! Either you pay up the money or I'll drag you to the court!"

She massaged her forehead in distress, "I'm not that kind of person, sir. Please, just let me go now and I promise I'll pay you back. I'll give you my card for contact, okay?", she quickly searched for her name card in her purse before giving it to Phil.

"How am I supposed to believe that this is your real name and number?", he asked as he read the information on the card.

"Call the police to arrest me then!", she answered confidently.

"Okay...", he looked at the card again, "... Ms. Eve Torres, if that's your name, I'll let you go but if you don't pay me soon enough, I'll call you everyday and make your life a living hell, got that?", he raised his tone, startling her a bit.

"Yes, sir!", her tone sounded scared as she watched the man popped out his collar and went back to his car, driving it until she no longer sees it.

Eve sighed, mentally beating up herself up for getting yet another problem. Money for Zack and money for Mr. Spoiled Rich Guy.

Two days passed and when Phil told his best friend, Daniel Bryan that he might found a suitable person to be his wife, both couldn't be happier. At least, Phil's problem would be solved.

"She's perfect, Dan! I'll convince her until she wants to marry me while you, my boy, write a contract for the marriage, okay?"

"Are you sure, Phil? There's so many girls you knew out there and yet you pick a stranger who you don't even know? Her identity? Where she come from? What's her work? You're out of your mind!", Daniel shook his head in disappointment.

"Because she's a stranger it would be easier, Daniel! Seriously, all the girls I knew are the daughters of my mother's friends but this girl is a different story. I can make up any story as long as I don't end up with Kelly!"

"Okay, boss!", he muttered sarcastically. "I'll get the contract ready but when she said no, don't tell me I didn't remind you", he finished as he walked out of Phil's office.

Meanwhile, a sly grin formed on Phil's face as he remembered the woman of the name Eve Torres. If she couldn't pay his money, then he would make her do everything as he pleased. He took his wallet from his pocket and pulled out a card from it. He studied the number carefully before pressing the keypads on his telephone.

"Hello?", a woman's voice appeared from the other line.

"Remember me?"

"Who's this?"

"So when you'll pay my car's damage, Ms. Torres?"

"Oh, it's you...", her voice didn't sound too ecstatic.

"Listen, I want you to meet me for lunch today. Starbucks, 12.30! Be there or else!"

When Eve heard him, she couldn't afford to say no. Comparing their status, of course the man on the line would win and got what he wanted. After all, she was just a poor orphan while he was a wealthy man. Taking a deep breath, she muttered an "Okay!" before hanging up the phone and walked back to the ward.

She looked at her unconscious childhood best friend, Zack Ryder, lying on his bed. He looked really weak and if a bone transplant couldn't take place sooner, she would lose him forever. Eve sat next to him and held his hand in her, a tear sliding down her cheeks so suddenly. However, a grip on her shoulder made her surprised.

"You okay, Eve?", her best friend and colleague, Alicia Fox asked her. When both of them graduated from university years ago, they've decided to become teachers at the orphanage where Eve once lived in.

She sniffed and wiped the lower part of her eyes, "Yeah, Ali. I'm fine! Can you do me a favour?"

"Anything for my girl", she smiled.

"I need to go for a lunch with the man whom the car I hit two days ago. So if Zack wakes up and ask where I am, please cover me up, please?"

"I'll tell him that you need to do some extra work at the orphanage, okay? Besides, our Zack would get jealous for no reason if he knew his girl went on a date with a super rich handsome man!"

Eve in return slapped Alicia's arm, "It's not a date and how many times I told you I don't have the feelings that Zack have for me! He 's just a close friend, that's all!"


"Are you out of your mind? You think I'm that cheap and low?", Eve widened her eyes in anger.

Phil was intimidated by the woman in front of him. Just the last two days she looked so naive and now, she looked like she could make a kid cry.

"Please Ms. Eve, you're the only person that can help me right now. I don't want to marry Kelly. I know how wild she is back when we were studying in UK. She always changed men a lot more often than she could change her clothes. My mom really take friendships as priority and as long as I don't bring a girl to my mom, she'll stick with her decision of choosing Kelly as her daughter-in-law. You've got to help me, Eve", Phil pleaded.

"But...", Eve hesitated. During their lunch, Phil had told her that he won't ask for the money anymore but with a condition that she would want to marry him with a contract. She was relieved that she no longer needed to pay Phil but the contract marriage? Just for a deed, she had to sacrifice her happiness and freedom just to marry a man she barely knew. Although she just knew that his name was Phil Brooks but that didn't change anything.

"I can't do it, Mr. Phil! I appreciate that you don't want my money but to help you, I'm sorry but it's better if you find someone else who's willing to accept your offer", she spoke as she was pulling out some money from her wallet to pay for her lunch before leaving, but stopped when Phil grabbed her hand. Eve's heart suddenly raced, causing her to immediately pull her hand back.

"Please, Ms. Eve. I will pay you money, you just say the amount, I'll write it on my cheque. Please, consider this offer, Eve", Phil pushed aside his ego that he could begged to a woman for help and not to mention, offering her money too.

When Eve heard about what Phil had just said, the faces of her best friends; the calm and easy going Alicia and her childhood best friend Zack played in front of her. She started to think of accepting the offer. In that way, she could get the money for Zack's transplant and at least, eased up her guilt towards him, whom his love couldn't be reciprocated by her. But nevertheless, she couldn't help but to think about the consequences if she took Phil's offer. Anything could happen but she just had less than a minute to decide. She closed her eyes, taking a very deep breath. She opened her eyes, only to see a worried expression of Phil Brooks, waiting for her answer.
