Chapter 2: Feathers of a Flock
I ran out towards the parking lot. Why was I so upset? I thought as I ran my hand through my slicked back hair. I could not believe I was getting feelings like these for my boss. I blew a breath of air out quickly as I tried to stop my rage from spreading through the entire town of Richmond. I saw Randy Orton and Ted Dibiase with a few bags of Burger King items. "Hey Phil, everything okay?" Ted asked. "Of course." I tried to sound calm but the obvious crack in my voice showed that it was not. Randy and Ted both waved it off not wanting to push the situation any further. I smiled as they gave me wave before entering the hotel. I finally decided to go back to my hotel room. When I got inside the room there still was no sign of John anywhere. I grabbed my bag, my car keys, and my phone as I exited the room. When I got downstairs there were about 3 people left in the lobby. I checked myself out and headed to my rental, driving to Fairfax.
It was about 4am when I arrived in Fairfax. I had a bad headache and I was tired as hell. I knew my day would not turn out the way it should. I was cranky and all I wanted to do was punch somebody. But I had 2 house shows and a photo shoot with Aj today. I pulled up to a nearby Starbucks. I strolled inside and grabbed a seat as I pulled out my laptop. I had two mails in my Yahoo inbox. I decided to tweet out my anger, maybe that would work.
CMPUNK: Downright mad and I am really not in the mood for the crap today. WWEAjLee I will be running a little behind schedule today due to my massive headache and dysfunctional emotions!
I sighed and I walked over to the front counter. "What will it be?" A tall man said to me. I looked at the short menu. "Get me a plate of scrambled eggs with fried potatoes and a black coffee." I ordered. He nodded and went to carry out other orders. I sat in a daze for while before realizing I had a new mention on Twitter.
WWEAjLee: CMPUNK Okay, it's fine! Get better soon for me! And buy some pain killers for that , would ya?
I smirked at the tweet and made a mental reminder to grab pain killers from Wal-Mart or a insight pharmacy. I hated this feeling. I smelled the aroma of eggs and coffee right in front of me. I sipped on the hot liquid as I observed my surroundings. Not a lot of people came to Starbucks in the mornings. Thank God! I could not handle the fans one bit.
I bit on my lip and sighed as I began gulping down my substances. I covered my head under a black hood. It was all I could do to keep the sun from glaring at my direction. I sipped on my coffee for a few minutes than I left the money for my meal on the counter. I made my way over to my rental and I drove toward the Patriot Center Arena. I reminded myself to check into the Hilton Garden hotel. That hotel was away from everyone else saying as they all checked into the Holiday Express. My life and priorities were so full of shit right now. I actually began to chuckle at the thought of my boss and I in a relationship. "Yeah right, try never going to happen." I said to myself as I walked through the corridor. I walked out to the ring and I saw Jamie Noble helping Kelly and Beth out in the ring. You would not believe how close those two were. Kelly was dating Big Show at the time which was a little too weird for my baring.
I sat my bags down and I stepped into the ring. I still had my sweat shorts on so I can practice my moves without hesitation. I waved over to Jamie as he gave me his best smile. I did a few stretches and warm-ups. Jamie came over and we had a fair match. Jamie still had that same stamina he had back when he was under a contract. I thought he was too good of a fighter to be a jobber. After we finished I got grabbed a towel. "Early morning for you Punk." Jamie said in his southern tone. I shook my head and just gave him the best lie. "I always seem to be the last one here which is why it's such a surprise to see you Jamie." I said he gave me a smile. "Punk, I need to speak with you." I heard the too all familiar voice that has been taunting me just yesterday. I looked up to see John at the entrance of the ramp.
I trudged slowly up toward the backstage area. I followed in tow slowly as John led the way to his office. He opened the door and we both stepped inside. "Hey Punk, I just wanted you to sign this contract saying you will participate in this Friday's match." He said calmly. It was killing that he was acting as if nothing happened. "Why did you kiss me?" I asked him. He looked at me astoundingly. "What are you talking about? This conversation is strictly business." I gave a low scoff and rolled my eyes into oblivion. I stood up and headed for the door only to be pulled back. John pushed against the wall and he planted a soft kiss onto my lips. I smiled into the kiss as I grasped his neck into my hold. We broke apart for some air, "Punk we can't tell anyone about this." I nodded and I placed a soft kiss on his lips as I headed out the door. What was this anyway? I didn't want to worry about that just yet.
