Sheamus swayed on his feet as he waited for Kaitlyn to answer the door. He clutched to the flowers, trying to prevent his pale hands from shaking. The door opened after a few moments, and Sheamus smiled at the sight of her. She wore a tight black dress and pumps. Her hair flowed elegantly down her shoulders. He couldn't help but notice how beautiful she was.
"Hey," she said with a playful glint in her hazel eyes. Her smile was infectious. "Ready to head out?"
"You bet," he responded. He led her to his car and helped her into the front seat. Sheamus plopped into the drivers seat and drove off.
"Where are we going?" Kaitlyn asked. Sheamus shook his head, refusing to answer her question. "Seriously? It's a surprise?" Sheamus nodded. "Whatever."
"I'm being romantic," said Sheamus. Kaitlyn giggled at his response and let him drive. She certainly didn't expect for him to be this cute, but she had to admit that he looked good in a grey polo shirt. She fiddled with her fingernails, suddenly worried about how this date would turn out. She was always worrying for no reason, and tonight would be no different.
Sheamus pulled up to a fancy restaurant. Leading her into the place, Kaitlyn couldn't help but think that she never heard of this place. A person led them to their seats and took their order. Sheamus didn't even look at the menu. He just asked for steak, mashed potatoes and string beans. Kaitlyn, being self-conscious, ordered the same.
"I like a woman who eats," said Sheamus after the waiter left to bring back the beets they ordered. Kaitlyn blushed. She hated being all flustered like this, but with Sheamus it was different.
"I have to stay in shape," answered Kaitlyn, "Imagine me being skinny." That got a laugh out of both of them. The waiter brought them their beers. "Let's make a toast," she said, picking up her glass. Sheamus smiled, picking up his. "To life, love, and the downfall of a certain crazy chick and ex best friend known as AJ Lee."Sheamus chuckled as they touched glasses, taking a sip.
"So you and AJ will never be friends again?" Sheamus asked. Kaitlyn shook her head. "Why not?"
"Why not?" Kaitlyn couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Sheamus, she hurting me."
"Only because you hurt her first," answered Sheamus.
"Where is this coming from?" Kaitlyn asked. She didn't want to talk about AJ. She suddenly had the feeling that this date was not going to go well.
"Look," said Sheamus, "I just miss the days when you and AJ were friends. It was adorable watching the two of you. But then Daniel and AJ got together and the two of you became distant."
"AJ left me," Kaitlyn hissed through gritted teeth, "She slapped me. She left me to go with Punk and Cena and Dolph. And now she thinks that I left her?" Kaitlyn took a deep breath. She didn't want to get upset, not during their date. Their food arrived, and the two ate in silence.
"I'm sorry," said Sheamus.
Kaitlyn kicked herself for being to stupid. "I'm sorry too. I really like you. It's just-" Sheamus held her hand, his warmth spreading through her body. She hoped that everything would turn out okay.
But Kaitlyn knew that AJ wouldn't rest until it doesn't.
"Hey AJ!" She groaned as she turned, watching Punk race over to her. "What does the crazy chick have up her sleeve tonight?"
"I'm going to beat Kaitlyn," said AJ with a sly smile, "Again. What does Mr. Best in the World have up his sleeve?"
"I'm going to become a three time Mr. Money in the Bank holder," Punk responded with a smirk. By now, the pair was used to this. They weren't friends-not by a long shot-but they still actually enjoyed each others company. AJ liked Punk better than any of her other exes anyway.
"I'm not too sure," kidded AJ, "Rob Van Dam is in there, and Daniel Bryan has won one before."
"You're rooting for Goatface?" Punk said with a scoff. AJ stool out her tongue and turned, ready for her match. Punk watched AJ grab Big E and skip out to the ring.
xXx
AJ clutched that Divas Title closer, frowning. The chants of "You screwed Ziggler!" rang through her ears. She hated that chant. She didn't screw him. She was only trying to help him. Yet no one saw that.
She watched the final Money in the Bank ladder match. Curtis Axel raced out there, ambushing Daniel Bryan. That part was fine. She watched CM Punk give Axel a GTS and couldn't help but giggle.
Punk gingerly climed the ladder and she found herself cheering him on. She watched as his tattooed fingertips were on the briefcase...until Paul hit him in the legs with another ladder.
AJ just stared at the TV in shock as Paul ambushed him. She recognized the look in Paul's eyes before he slammed the ladder in Punk's head. AJ winced at the impact of it. Punk collapsed to the ground and she watched the blood trickle down his face because of a gash in his cranium.
Punk was hurt. And that hurt AJ as well.
AJ raced to the trainer's office and waited. She sat on a chair next to the bed, waiting for Punk to arrive. He did, limping into the room with doctors. "AJ!" he gasped.
"I saw what happened," she said, standing up and approaching him. "I wanted to make sure you were okay."
Punk shooed off the doctors. They gave him five minutes to talk. "Look. I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me."
AJ ran her fingers through his hair, making sure to rub over the wound. She heard Punk wince in pain. She removed her hand, showing him the blood on her hands-his blood. "My hand says differently."
Skipping over to the sink, she washed off her hand. "I'm serious. I'll be okay. I don't want you getting into this. You'll get hurt, and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I do."
"But I thought you hated me," said AJ.
"I don't hate you, but I don't like you either," responded Punk, "But still. I still...care." The doctors enter the room, telling AJ to leave. She did, but not before making eye contact with Punk. Her brown doe eyes said I'm sorry.
AJ read Punk's expression as I'm sorry too.
Woah! An update! I had a severe case of writers block, but an episode of Spongebob cured it! So, how did you all like it? Leave it in a review! I'll posta slightly better chapter if you do!
