Eve woke up the next morning alone in her hotel room. Kelly was with Miz in his room and even though Zack wanted Eve to stay with him last night, Eve was not comfortable with that. She sighed. Zack now thought that Eve liked him but she was sad to think that she was using him to prove a point to Punk.
"Hey Eve!" Kelly sang as she walked into the room. Kelly was always a morning person. Eve chuckled.
"How are you so chipper? You drank like twice your body-weight last night!" Eve teased. Kelly was a big partier so she loved to drink at clubs. Eve would have normally but for some reason she didn't want to get drunk last night. If she was being truthful with herself, she would admit it was because she didn't want Punk to think she was a drunk.
"Oh Eve! You should know by now that I don't get hungover!" Kelly laughed. Eve shrugged.
"Whatever you say Kells…" Eve grinned, "I'm going to go get in the shower"
"Alright but then we have to talk about last night!" Kelly said as she looked through her closet for something to wear. Eve took a quick shower before sitting down next to Kelly.
"So dish girlie! You and Zack finally?" Kelly asked. Eve sighed.
"Kelly, I don't even know! I still think of Zack like a kid brother no matter how hard I try to think of him like a boyfriend!" Eve moaned.
"But I saw you kiss him last night! I thought you finally liked him too!" Kelly questioned confused.
"Kelly… I'll tell you why I kissed him last night BUT you this has to stay between us" Eve replied. Kelly nodded.
"Give me the gossip girl!" Kelly giggled. Eve sighed and told Kelly the whole story and what happened with Punk.
"Oh my gosh!" Kelly stated shocked. Eve sighed.
"I know! I know! That was horrible of me to use Zack like that but I don't know! The way Punk was looking at me knowingly drove me crazy and I HAD to prove him wrong… Am I a horrible person for leading Zack on? Wait… don't answer that! Of course I am!" Eve cried out.
"Okay so let's start with Zack and then we can talk about Punk. So I think you should tell Zack that you still think of him as a friend, even after you kissed him. Maybe Zack will get it then!" Kelly advised. Eve nodded.
"Okay yeah but should I tell him the truth? I don't want to hurt him!" Eve moaned.
"I say no… not because you should lie but because you don't want to hurt him!" Kelly told her.
"Okay…" Eve murmured.
"Okay so now let's forget about Zack and talk about that hunk of a man Punk!" Kelly giggled. Eve blushed.
"I don't like him Kells! I just wanted to slap that smirk off of his face!" Eve said. Kelly grinned.
"You mean you wanted to kiss it off!" Kelly teased.
"Kelly!"
"But seriously Eve! It's okay if you like Punk. Every girl should have a crush on a bad boy once in their lives! It's like a rite of passage! I mean look at me! I liked Punk at one time and I also fell for Randy once!" Kelly told Eve.
"But I don't like him!" Eve exclaimed. Kelly smiled.
"Are you trying to convince me or yourself?" Kelly asked.
"I don't like him" Eve muttered to herself. Later that day, they were at the Smackdown taping because Eve was supposed to appear tonight when they saw Ryder.
"Hide!" Eve whispered as she pulled Kelly into another room without looking where they were.
"Whoa! I thought you were going to talk to him!" Kelly whispered back as they peeped around the door and watched Ryder.
"I did but he's still following me around like a puppy! He says if I can't love him, he'll convince me!" Eve moaned.
"Well looks like you got yourself in quite a pickle Evie" a voice from behind them said.
"What are you doing here Punk?" Eve asked hotly. Punk smirked.
"This is my locker room that you're hiding in" Punk answered. Eve blushed.
"Um well I uh…" Eve stammered in embarrassment. Kelly looked between the two.
"Well I see you're okay Eve. Don't mind me! Later Punk!" she sang before walking out. Punk gave her a cursory nod while not looking away from Eve who grabbed Kelly's arm.
"Don't leave me!" she whispered. Kelly patted her hand.
"Come on Eve. You've got this!" Kelly whispered back before she walked away. Eve turned back to Punk who was sitting on the bench looking too comfortable.
"Ummm sorry about coming in here…" Eve apologized.
"Now Evie, why would a mind when a beautiful woman like you walks into my locker room?" he asked smugly. Eve narrowed her eyes at him.
"Ugh I forgot! You probably have billions of girls come in here all the time. Well I should leave before your next one walks in here!" Eve grouched as she turned around to stomp away.
"Whoa! Slow your horses there Evie. Are you in a rush to find Ryder? Oh no wait, you're hiding from him. What happened to I may be attracted to him?" Punk laughed. Eve flushed but continued to glare at him.
"That is none of your business! And besides, why do you even care? A couple of days ago, you didn't even know who I was!" Eve answered angrily. Punk smirked as he stood up and walked over to her. Eve started to back up as Punk came closer but he trapped her against the wall. He put his arms on either side of her and leaned in.
"What makes you think I never noticed you before?" he breathed. Eve stared at him with her eyes wide open and shocked at his proximity.
"I happened to notice you back when you first came to Smackdown. You were wearing a black dress and looking so nervous but excited. You interviewed Batista and then sat in catering looking scared all by yourself" Punk continued. He began to lean closer and Eve could not for the life of her even remember what her name was. And then he kissed her and Eve's knees almost buckled. Every cell in her body started to buzz as Eve helplessly clenched her hands on his broad shoulders when Punk pulled her close to him. The air felt hot and Eve could practically feel the sparks in the air. A couple of seconds later did Eve realize what she was doing. Eve quickly pulled away.
"Get away from me!" she exclaimed pushing Punk off.
"Just admit it already! You want me" Punk said. Eve glared at him as she tried to re-gather her thoughts.
"No I don't! You just caught me off guard!" Eve argued. Punk smirked.
"You kissed me back and you loved it. I can see it in your eyes" Punk stated.
"All you can see is my hatred of you. Like I told you before, I know your type! You just want me around long enough that you can use me and then toss me aside! Other girls might fall for it but I can see right through you!" Eve shouted before she turned and stomped away. Punk watched her go.
"She so wants me." Punk said to himself.
