The First Step

It was the final match of Survivor Series Cm Punk was facing Seth Rollins because the story he was in was that he was against all the athority and Seth was saying how he was the best in the world and that's where Punk returned and turned face and challenged Seth in a match. In the end of the day Cm Punk would stand tall and the fans were eating it all up chanting "this is awesome" over and over again. After the match Seth would sit in the ring defeated while Punk would take the standing ovation on the stage. After they both walked backstage shaking each other's hands in a successful match, they bothed walked together to grab a towel and a bottle of water in the locker room.

"Hey man that was one hell of a match," Seth said out of breath and with a smile across his face.

"Yea it was," Punk said hitting him on his shoulder as a friend and looking at the crack of the door open to see her, AJ Lee. She was in the hall laughing with her returning friend Celeste because she was there to watch AJ retain her title against Cameron.

"You still haven't talked to Aj huh?" Seth said as he noticed Punk still staring at her like he was trying to gaze into her eyes.

"Huh? Uh yea..." was all Punk could said as he let out a small sigh.

"Come on man, you've been back in the ring for over a month and you still haven't even had the courage to tell the girl how you felt since you and her first met, it's time to talk."

The moment Seth mentioned the day they first met was when Punk stopped responding for a good 5 minutes. He was referring to the night AJ started on NXT as a rookie. Her pro was Primo and she would go everyday into the hallway asking him about the next game that would come out on xbox. Cm Punk wouldn't really come to NXT to watch but he would rather joke around and just talk to the guys, but once he laid eyes on AJ, he knew their was something special about her, he wanted to meet her but never had the courage to. Everytime she was on NXT, he would join commentary just because she was in the ring. He never made it obvious due to him always joking around, but in his heart he knew he wanted more with her. The reason he just came back after a little while was because he felt there was no shot with AJ so he moved on and dated Amy and it would of lasted if he was over AJ, but he wasn't. Due to that he broke it off with her and she respected him enough to stay friends. So he decided to come back to try to talk to her, the problem is that he's been back for a month and hasn't tried.

"Punk you need to go talk to her" Seth said in a whisper tone into his ear. Punk finally replied with an "ok" and took a deep breath and walked over to her and lightly tapped her shoulder. She turned to him with a big smile and started the conversation,

"Hi" she said.

"Hey" he replied.

She could tell he had something to say because he was still standing there just looking at her. "Um.. Is there something wrong?" She asked as she was confused to why he was still standing in her direction.

"What? Oh no nothing's wrong I just wanted to say you looked good."

"I looked good?" She said raising an eyebrow annoyed

"What? No I mean not that you didn't but what I meant to say was that you were very good in the ring tonight,"

"Oh so I'm never good?" She said rolling her eyes

"What? No! I meant to congradulate you on your win tonight," He said with a sigh of relief

She looked at him sensing he was nervous and looked at him with a light smile, "Well thank you, you were pretty impressive out there if I should say so myself," She said with a smile.

"When am I never impressive sweetheart," He said with a wink

"Oh so now who's got the cockiness huh?" She started to laugh, he didn't know what to say, all he really wanted to say was how he he truly felt about her, but he couldn't put it into words. He loved the sound of her laugh, but he didn't want to tell her that because everything that came out of his mouth to her was everything he was trying to avoid.

"Well I should be going I'm sure my friend Celeste is waiting for me," she said playfully teasing him

"Awe so soon? I thought we were just having some fun," He said playing along since he finally started getting the hang of talking to her.

"I would love to stay, but I promised her I would play 2k14 with her after the ppv." And once she said she played 2k14 his heart started to melt, the one thing he loved about her is that she was a gamer, he always found gamers attractive, especially from AJ.

"Oh you play? I never thought you would the type to be a gamer?" He said teasingly

"Oh there's alot you don't know about me, but I'm not any good." She responded

"Well if you want I can teach you what I know, how about you and Celeste join me on my bus tonight?" He said to her and her eyes opened wide.

"Really? We don't wanna be a bother, I'm sure you have alot to do on your schedule as it is," She said to him.

"Don't worry, I can handle it, if you want instead of taking a rental every week, trust me you will enjoy this offer," He said to her and she just smiled.

"Thank you so much! Let me just go get her and can you meet me back here?" She said as he nodded to her, "Great! Again thank you," She said to him as she walked to the girls locker room to go get Celeste. Punk started to smile and started to drink his water. Seth came over with his bag about to leave and walked over to Punk.

"So? How did it go?"

"I invited her to come with me on my bus" He said with a smile

"Already? Dude that's great!" He said with a smirk

"Were not gonna have sex I invited Celeste too" He said with a laugh

"Hey, its better than one" He said as he started to grin, Punk hit him playfully in the arm.

"Ouch man, I should report you to the authority and get you to wrestle the entire roster for hurting me," He said as he teased him.

"Very funny," Punk said as he started to walk away.

"Hey," Seth said as he grabbed Punk's shoulder, "goodluck man, I'm rooting for you." Punk looked at Seth and nodded and went back into the locker room and started to grab all his things.

Back in the diva's locker room AJ was telling Celeste how Punk invited them to join him in his bus. At first Celeste wasn't too sure about the idea because she heard things about him.

"Are you sure about this AJ?" Celeste said to AJ with concern written all over her face.

"Why wouldn't I be? Its Punk and a nicer way to travel for the night!" AJ said with excitement.

"I know I know, I'm just a little concerned, I mean who comes out of no where and offers a ride like that? It just seems a little sketchy if you think about it."

"I mean at first I told him I sucked at video games," She said with a smirk and tilted her head looking around the room with amuse.

"Oh god AJ really? You know your one of the best...Why would you lie?" Celeste said.

"I didn't lie...I do suck!" AJ said and then started to giggle. "Okay okay so I lied, but come on, we were playing around, I'm sure he knows how good I am," She said seriously.

"AJ it seems like he was flirting with you," Celeste said to AJ in a serious tone.

"Pft yea okay why would he want to flirt with me of all people," AJ said as if she was nothing but a joke.

"Think about it AJ" Celeste pleaded.

"Come on we gotta meet him back there" AJ said as she avoided the last thing she said and just walked out of the locker room.

"AJ! UGH!" Celeste said as she just sighed and grabbed her things and followed AJ.

As the two WWE Divas found WWE Superstar Cm Punk, they quickly followed him to his bus and he acted like a gentlemen to his guests and opened the bus door for the two ladies. Celeste quickly got on and as AJ stepped up the first step he and her had a moment. For the first time she looked up at him and they both stared into each other's eyes. She started to smile and once she realized what was happening she shook her head back into reality and quickly walked onto the bus. Punk started to sigh to him and he stepped on and closed the door. As they made themselves comfortable, Punk went to his friend who was the driver of the bus Joe to tell him where the next location was. Once he did that he saw the two divas sitting on the couch talking away.

"You two look comfotrable" He said with a chuckle.

"Well you said we can get cozy while we were here," Celeste added and she laughed.

"Oh your the smart one huh?" He said with a smile.

"This was really sweet of you to invite us on" AJ said with a smile.

"Oh it was no problem, I still need to teach you a thing or two on xbox don't I?" Punk asked AJ as he looked directly at her.

"Oh so you play?" Celeste questioned the straight edge society member.

"Yes I do my xbox is in the back, we can head back there and play if you want," He added as they both nodded and followed him to the bed room.

"Wow, its so big back here," AJ said as her and Celeste's eyes widen at the sight of the back room.

"Hey it pays to be a WWE Superstar for years, you guys will get this eventually," He said as he teased.

"Well hey enough talk, lets see how good you really are." Celeste said as she winked at Punk.

And that's all Punk needed to hear. He pulled out the xbox and luckily it was already set up with 2k14 inside so he didn't need to do any extra work. He offered one controller to AJ and he grabbed the other for himself. He offered to Celeste before he took it for himself, but she politely declined and decided to just watch her bestfriend play Punk.

"Now don't worry, on the first game I will go easy on you," he said as he looked at AJ.

"Oh okay, thank you." She said as she smirked to herself picking to play as Randy Orton since Punk chose to be himself. Once the game started to play, Punk started to tell her how to play on the controller.

"So you think you got it?" He asked AJ.

"Yep, I think I'm all set," she said with a smile.

"Then let's play," he said as he started to press X to start.

Once the game was rolling Punk was suprised to see how good AJ was, either he taught her well, or she was actually really good. After a few minutes of playing, AJ used the RKO on Punk to pin him and get the win. Once the game ended they had a rematch and the match was longer than the first time. After a few hours of playing Punk finally came to realization that AJ was actually really good.

"Why didn't you tell me you were good?" Punk asked as he was curious to know.

"You didn't think I was, so I played along," she said with a smirk.

"Well fuck, you're a worthy opponent," Punk said putting the controller down and taking a break from playing.

"So are you," AJ replied.

"Well you guys can play, if you want you guys can have the bed since the couch isn't big enough for you both," he said to the two WWE Divas as he slowly got up to walk to the front of the bus to open the fridge. He sat on the couch and turned on the TV and grabbed a bottle of watch and just took a deep breath to himself wondering why he didn't tell AJ earlier how he felt earlier. He's never felt this way about another woman before, the only time he ever truly felt love was for Amy but only as a friend. He has dated many women including former WWE Diva Maria, but he never saw it to last long with her and it didn't. With AJ it was different and he barely knows anything about her because he never tried to speak with her. He was too nervous to try when they first met.

As he was thinking how much of a dumbass he feels to himself, Celeste walked to the front of the bus to see Punk rubbing the temple of his forehead and shook her head in confusion.

"Hey, do you mind if I grab a bottle of water?" She asked Punk.

"Huh? Oh no I don't water is in the fridge," he said to Celeste pointing to the fridge that was behind her. She turned to open the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water.

"And thank you again for letting us come on the road tonight with you, it was really cool of you," Celeste added as she took a seat next to Punk.

"It was no trouble, how's AJ in the back?" Punk asked.

"She's fine, she fell asleep while playing me in 2k14, she's really good," Celeste told Punk honestly.

"Yea..she really is," Punk said with a light chuckle.

"Can I ask why though? Why did you invite us? I thought you hated everyone in your personal space," Celeste asked Punk as she heard from the men in the locker room that Cm Punk never let anyone on his bus or even travel with him.

"It's compliacted, you wouldn't understand," Cm Punk noted.

"I can try if you tell me," Celeste said as she lightly touched Punk's shoulder to let him know that she was listening.

Punk sighed and nodded. So for an hour he explained to Celeste how much he had feelings for AJ. Celeste eyes widen so much they almost fell out of her head. She was so suprised and happy to hear how he felt for her. She knew that his feelings were straight up true because he wasn't showing one bit of shade. He was showing vulnerability and weakness and she was really suprised. She never thought Cm Punk would be this serious.

"Wow, that's so amazing!" Celeste said with happiness in her eyes.

"Today was the only day I've ever said anything to her," Punk added.

"Well that's the first step, talking is first, connecting is later," Celeste noted.

"I've never felt this way about anyone before," He added.

"That's really sweet, but I need to let you know something," Celeste said as she's about to warn her new friend Cm Punk.

"AJ just recently got out of her relationship with Dolph and she's not the easiest with keeping a relationship. She sometimes get's so sad that she's alone and will go have a one night stand with some guy on the roster." Celeste told Punk as his eyes widen.

"Do you know who that one night stand guy is?" Punk question Celeste and she just shook her head.

"She never told me and she never will," Celeste said honestly.

"Do you think she will feel anything for him?" Punk asked in hoping she would say no.

"I honestly don't know but I know for a fact she did like you at one point when she was on NXT, but I don't know if she still does since that was a long time ago." Celeste added and she knew that would give Punk some hope.

"Well maybe there's a chance," Punk said to Celeste.

"We will just have to get her to see it," Celeste noted as she started to drink her water.

"The first thing I gotta find out is who she's sleeping with," Punk said in a low tone.

"Well if you need to know more you can always come and find me, I get new news on AJ every week so I can always fill you in." Celeste said as she put her water down.

"Thank you, I'll remember that." Punk said honestly because he will remember that for when he ever needs to know more.

"It's not a problem, now get some sleep, we got a long ride to the next city." Cleste said as Punk nodded. She got up and put her water back in the fridge and went into the bed room to fall asleep next to her bestfriend. Punk turned off the TV and put his water on the counter and adjusted himself to lay down. He looked up at the ceiling and started to smile and thought to himself, "it's only the first step," and slowly closed his eyes into a deep slumber.
