Chapter 4: "Fairytales & Midnight Angels":
Finally
the show was over & everyone but the construction crew's job
was done.
Makaela, Matt, Jeff & Tania were walking down the
corridors to the exit, When Makaela struck up the conversation.
"Hey
guys got any plans tonight?" she asked
"No, I don't…"
Matt said
"Us either…" Jeff said, with Tania agreeing
"Well
I promised Koriana I'd go see her tonight at the Bar & Grill
she works at, y'all want to come?"
"Yeah sure I could go for
a burger & beer…" Matt said rubbing his stomach
"Yeah
that sounds great I haven't seen Kori in forever!" Tania said as
they got in the rental car
"Great! I'll drive…" Makaela
said getting in the driver seat
"oh god, be gentle Kaela, we're
sensitive…" Jeff said from the back after putting his seat belt
on unusually tight
"You guys I'm not that bad of a driver…"
She said as she peeled out of the parking lot, laughing at Matt, Jeff
& Tania's faces.
CM Punk's POV:
Punk
& his long time best friend Scott Colton (Colton Cabana/Scotty
Goldman) walked down the halls of the arena toward the exit.
"God
I'm sore as fuck, sometimes I hate being a jobber…" Scott said
rubbing his sore neck
"So you'd rather be like me & be a
wrestler & still get your ass kicked from time to time…" Punk
laughed.
"Exactly like that." Scott said sarcastically to his
friend
"Well are you too sore to get some grub or do I have to
roll alone tonight? I'm starving." Punk said as his stomach
growled.
"Yeah I could go for something, want to hit up that bar
& grill we saw on our way in?" Scott asked as they got into
their rental car.
"Yeah that sounds good, you remember about
where it is?" Punk asked
"Yeah about." Scott said pulling
out of the parking lot
"Good." Punk said letting himself relax
into the seat. Letting Makaela consume his thoughts.
"Hey man,
did you get a chance to meet the new road assistant?" Scott asked
his friend, causing Punk to look at him.
"I think so, her name's
Makaela right?" Punk said playing coy
"Yeah, she's fucking
hot man, I wonder if she's single…" Scott said making Punk a
little jealous
"I hope so…" Punk mumbled under his
breath
"what was that?" Scott asked
"Nothing she's just
the girl I met on the plane…"
"No way! That's the girl?
Damn no wonder you can't forget about her." Scott said
"Yeah,
I tried to make my move tonight dude…"
"And what she
say?"
"She turned me down, I don't know why, but it's like
she's very guarded by this walls & she keeps me at arms
length…"
"Maybe you're just a douche or you smelled
bad…"
"Fuck off, I was insanely sweet to her & I did not
smell bad."
"Dude maybe you should just let it go…"
"I
don't know man maybe…" punk said staring out of the window,
thinking about what he could do to get Makaela's attention. Soon
they pulled up at the sports bar & grill.
"Let's go get
some grub man…" Scott said getting out the car
"Yeah…"
Punk said getting out
Makaela's POV:
Makaela
ran up to her friend Koriana
"Kori!"
"Kaela!"
They
two hugged each other for a few seconds.
"It's great to see
you girl!"
"You too chicka, Kori you know Tania, I'd like
you to meet Matt & Jeff Hardy…" Makaela said pointing at each
of the brothers.
After Koriana hugged Tania, she shook Jeff, and
then Matt's hand as Matt looked her up & down, licking his lips
slightly.
"Pleasure to meet you two, Makaela & Tania have
told me so much about y'all."
"Pleasure is all ours…"
Matt said placing a small kiss on the back of Koriana's hand.
"Um,
ook, well, if y'all want you can have a seat anywhere & I'll
be with you in one second…" Koriana said walking away whipping
her hand on her pants.
'Blek,
he's a bigger douche then I would've took him for'
Koriana thought to herself walking off to take an order to one of the
other tables filled with wrestlers.
Makaela, Tania, Matt &
Jeff sat down at a table, that's when Makaela started smacking
Matt.
"Ow, hey, hey, hey down girl…" Matt said trying to
block her smacks to his arm, back, chest & head
"Quit
hitting on my friend & I will…" Makaela said
"I can't
promise anything…" Matt said watching Koriana move around, her
hair clipped up, in a Tarheels jersey tied up exposing a small amount
of her tummy, in tight light blue faded jeans. His thoughts were
interrupting by Makaela trying to wrap her tiny hands around his
neck.
"Hey, hey ok, ok, down hot head…I won't do anything
else tonight I promise…" Matt said holding his hands up in
surrender
"Good…" Makaela said smiling, pleased with herself
for defending her friends honor
"I'm
going to the bar to get a beer…" Matt said getting up
"I'm
watching you…" Makaela said shooting him a look
"Ha, ha
you're great Kaela; you might have a future as a diva…" Jeff
said
"Meh I doubt it…" she said fiddling with her cardboard
coaster
Koriana's POV:
Koriana
walked around behind the bar filling up a few beer glasses when she
heard someone clear their throat in front of her. She looked up &
rolled her eyes slightly.
"Hey gorgeous…" Matt said smiling
slightly
"What do you want, Mr. Predictable?"
"Predictable
am I?"
"Yep, you're just like every other scum bag who walks
through that door on Monday nights, wanting beer, sports & a easy
lay, well hate to disappoint but I'm not the girl you're looking
for…" she said handing the beer glasses to the regulars who
ordered them.
"Ok, fair well if I'm so predictable what am I
thinking right now…" Matt said looking at her with a gleam in his
eyes. Koriana smiled, leaned into his ear really close so only he'd
hear.
"Damn baby, that's a hot outfit, bet it'd look hotter
on the floor of my hotel room…" Koriana backed away & almost
laughed at his expression.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I have
some friends I need to attend to…" Koriana said walking off, to
the table occupied by Jeff, Tania & Makaela. Matt had every
intention of following her but his cell phone vibrated alerting him
of a call, he silently cursed under his breath & walked outside
to take the call.
"Way
to go Kori…" Makaela said to her friend who sat down beside
her
"What?" Koriana asked looking innocent
"We totally
saw you shoot down my brother, good too. Kudos for you. Not many
women can resist the Hardy charm, for example Tania here." Jeff
said proudly, before Tania elbowed him in the gut, then kissing him
leaving him wanting more.
"Ew get a room." Koriana &
Makaela said throwing napkins at them
"It was no big deal I turn
down guys nightly." Koriana said
"Hey give me a few minutes I
get off in a few but right now is my break, I'm going to kick it
outside for a few, listen to the I-pod." Koriana said getting up to
go outside
"Ok girl, see you in a few…" Makaela said, then
looking back at Jeff & Tania making out
"Ugh, I'm going to
the bar give you two some privacy…" Makaela said as Tania waved
'ok' at her.
Koriana's POV:
Koriana walked out the back door with her coat on & her purse, she was about to put her ear buds in to listen to the new Eve to Adam CD she uploaded to it when she heard a commotion in a dark alley beside the restaurant. She looked around & then a group of guys came running out from it, knocking her down on the icy sidewalk.
"Watch
it bitch!" one of the guys said
"Me! Me!" Koriana said
trying to get up but wasn't fast enough, she was brushing the ice
off her butt & legs when she heard someone cough. She tried to
look down the alley, but it was too dark, deciding against her better
judgment she walked down the alley, to see a figure laying on the
ground barely moving.
"Oh my god, are you ok?" she said
turning them over
"I…he…" the voice muttered softly
"ok
it's going to be ok, I'm going to get you some help…" she
said putting the persons arm over her shoulders helping them up. They
staggered to their feet as Koriana walked them to her car, she put
them in when she released who it was.
"Matt…" she mutter
softly in shock
She ran around to the driver side of her car peeling out of the parking lot, not caring if she got fired for leaving on break she needed to help Matt even if he was a douche to her tonight. She kept talking to him & smacking him lightly to keep him conscious until she could get him to the hospital.
Back at the sports bar & grill:
Makaela was dancing to the song playing with one of the waitresses she knew from a long time ago. She was actually truly having some fun for the first time in a long time; she looked over her shoulder to see Jeff & Tania still making out heavily. She just laughed slightly & shook her head. She had no cares in the world at that moment, nor did she know she was being watched.
Punk watched Makaela move her hips
& body to the music, she shirt would ride up every once in awhile
showing slight skin. Her hair swaying across her back, she looked
relaxed for the first time in the short time he'd known her.
'God
I want to be the one to make her feel like she does right now…wait,
what am I saying I barely know this girl. She could be on the run for
murder or something.'
He thought.
Scott looked up at his friend, following his line of
site & all but died of shock.
"Dude isn't that the girl
you got the hot's for?" Scott asked
"Yeah it is…" Punk
said never taking his eyes off Makaela
"She looks different,
more relaxed even…" Scott said going back to eating his
burger
"yeah she does…"
All of a sudden Punk's face
hardened at the sight the soon unfolded in front of him.
Makaela
was interrupted by a strong smell of whiskey, making her gag. She
looked over to see a guy next to her.
"What do you want?" she
said crossing her arms
"Did it hurt…" the drunk slurred
"did
what hurt?" she said pretty much knowing what the reply was going
to be
"when you fell from heaven…"
"you are sadly
mistaken if you think, me, of all people is a angel…" she said
walking off but the guy grabbed her wrist, bringing back memories of
her ex
"then show me your naughty side baby…" he said
pulling her back up against him
"no let me go, please…" she
said trying to get his hand off her wrist. Soon she heard a voice, a
familiar voice behind her.
"The
lady said let her go…" Makaela turned her head to see Punk
standing there; she was relieved, mad, and embarrassed all at the
same time.
"Who the fuck are you?" the drunk asked letting go
of Makaela. Punk wrapped his arms protectively around her, her head
laid instinctively on his chest.
"I'm her boyfriend & if
you don't mind I'd much prefer you not ruining my girlfriend's
good time, comprende?" Punk said glaring at the drunk as he walked
off
'god
he feels & smells so good….wait! What are you doing Makaela you
idiot!'
Makaela thought
'god
this feels so nice, so right & she smells amazing even for being
in a bar…'
Punk thought
All of a sudden she pushed him away abruptly, leaving
him confused.
"Thank you, but I'm not going to be just a notch on your bed post because you decided to play prince charming for one night…" Makaela said before pushing through the people to get outside in hopes of finding Koriana. As soon as she opened the door she regretted it, it was freezing & raining.
Punk
just watched her go in shock; he went back to his table grabbing his
jacket.
"Someone got denied." Scott said before getting
flipped off by his friend
Punk walked out & saw Makaela
standing on the sidewalk shivering looking at the ground. His mind
wanted to hate her for leaving him in the bar but his heart knew she
had her reasons. He pulls his hoodie close to him, walking up behind
her with his bigger jacket in hand.
Makaela felt someone
behind & knew exactly who it was; she didn't bother to turn
around.
'Why
won't he give up? Can't he see that I'm nothing?'
she thought.
Punk finally broke the silence between them.
"Well
knight in shining armor or not you don't need to catch your death…"
he said offering her his jacket. She turned her face to look at the
jacket & then just went back to looking at the ground hoping he'd
just quit making things complicated.
Punk frustrated with this
girl in front of him ran a hand through his soaked black
hair.
"Fine…but if you don't want a knight then you need to
stop acting like a stuck up princess...no one said I wanted to sleep
with you so don't flatter yourself." He said causing her to
look at him in shock, it hurt more then she expected it to, did she
really want him to leave her alone? She wondered.
"Now I'm
trying to be nice but if you don't want someone being nice to you
then this is the way to get them to stop…" Punk said; Makaela had
finally heard enough.
" look just stop alright, I don't need you
being nice to me…" she said frustrated with herself as the rain
started coming down harder on them both. Punk just nods slightly,
walking back inside the restaurant, looking back at her as he opens
the door.
"Fine...but you're pride is going to get the best of
you one day…" he said as he laid his coat on the railing leading
in to the bar before he walked in. A big gust of wind blew causing
Makaela to run for Punk's jacket throwing it on, he saw this &
smiled lightly, walking back to his table.
Makaela stood outside
awhile longer before she realized.
'Where's
matt? And where's Koriana?'
she thought to herself. She looked around, Koriana's car wasn't
there, and soon something caught her eye in a puddle, a wallet. She
bent down to pick it up; she looked at the I.D. & gasped. Matt.
She ran back into the restaurant for Jeff & Tania.
Punk
looked up & saw the panic on Makaela's face as she entered the
restaurant, she ran over to Jeff & Tania.
"Jeff, Tania…"
she said out of breath
" Kaela we were wondering what happened
to you, are you ok?" Tania asked
"Matt & Koriana are gone,
I found his wallet in a puddle outside, all his cards & money is
gone…"
"Calm down, calm down, let me see it…" Jeff said
as Makaela handed him Matt's wallet
"Yeah it's his, we've
got to find them…" Jeff said
"Ok who has the keys…"
Tania said as they both looked at Makaela
"What? I gave them to
Matt it was his rental, besides it's gone too…" Makaela said
running a hand through her wet hair.
"Maybe we can help…"
Punk said with Scott by his side
"We heard the commotion; we
will take you guys where you need to go." Scott said
"Ok well
let's go…" Jeff said as they got up to go to Scott's
rental.
"I'll drive; I know where Koriana's apartment is..."
Makaela said getting in the drive side, speeding off to Koriana's
apartment.
Koriana's POV:
Koriana
walked in her apartment with Matt braced against her
"I should
sue that fucking hospital, I've never heard of a mugging victim get
released in under 2 hours. "Stupid mother fuckers." Koriana
cussed.
She had taken Matt to the hospital to get checked out only
to be sent home with pain pills & bandages.
"Kori…" Matt
tried to mutter out
"shhh we're going to get you taken care
of…" she said laying him on her bed, she under dressed him out of
his dirty clothes to his boxers, pulling the covers over him. She
sighed heavily, going to get a hot shower; she put her jammies on &
got blankets & pillows to lay on the couch. She had just gotten
comfortable when someone started pounding on the door.
'Ugh
something better be on fire…'
Koriana thought as she got up to open the door.
Makaela pulled
the car up to a screeching halt, jumping out of the car.
"Thanks
gotta run…" she said running up the steps to Koriana's
apartment, with Jeff behind her.
"Well that was abrupt." Scott
said getting out going to the drive side.
"Phil, c'mere."
Tania said, making Punk walk to her
"I know you like Makaela,
she likes you I know it, she's just been through a lot of shit,
give her time…don't tell her you got this from me…" she said
grabbing his hand writing Makaela's room number on it.
"Check
on her later. I got to go..." Tania said running after Jeff &
Makaela.
Punk looked down at his hand & smiled lightly,
getting in the car.
"What was that about?" Scott
asked
"Nothing…" Punk said smiling again
Makaela,
Jeff & Tania busted in Koriana's apartment
"Oh thank god
you're ok…" Makaela said hugging her friend
"ok Kaela
you're soaking wet, what's going on?"
"We can't find
matt & couldn't find you until now…"
"oh he's fine
he's in bed…" she said making Jeff, Makaela & Tania's
jaws drop.
A/N: Thank you to my lovely assistant Brittany Nicole for helping me A LOT with this story. Gotta love how our brains mesh well when it comes to wrestling
