Weight of the World
Chapter Eight
Until the day I die… (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you…
Katya woke up with a soft groan and grabbed her phone off the bedside table, flipping it open and pressing it to her ear…
"Hello?"
"Hey, it's me, Punk… Sorry… did I wake you?"
"No… well, yes, but don't worry about it, I should probably get up anyway" She confessed, yawning softly as she sat up in bed, smiling when she thought of the ringtone. "What's up?"
"Oh not much, just thought I'd see how you're faring after the match with Jericho?"
"I'm great! I mean, yes I'm a bit sore, I haven't wrestled against a competitor as good as Chris in a while, but I feel really good."
"Sure?"
"I promise." She said, slight laugh in her voice. She glanced over at Adam's bed and noticed he was still asleep- and of course reminded herself not to wake him with her voice.
"Well then… in that case… how would you feel about having dinner with me tonight?"
It threw her for a bit of a loop, but a grin came over her face and she held back a squeal. Ever since she'd bumped into Punk that Saturday, eleven days ago now, they'd gone out a few times and things seemed to be going really well. She hadn't quite forgotten about Adam all together, but Punk made her feel better.
"I'd love to go out to dinner with you Punk…" She answered softly, and she was sure he could hear the smile she was wearing.
"Well in that case, I'll pick you up at say… seven?"
"Seven it is. Where are we going?"
"Mmm… No where too formal, I don't think either of us would like it, but still dress nicely."
It didn't give her a lot to work with, but she said okay anyway.
"Well then, I'll see you tonight Katya… Bye…"
"Seeya Punk…" She said softly and then snapped her phone shut with a soft sigh. She put it down on her bedside table and slipped out of the bed, grinning to herself as she went into the bathroom to shower. She walked out in only a towel, humming softly as she pulled out some clothes to wear- then she would search for something to wear on her date. She didn't even notice that Adam was awake, watching her.
She disappeared into the bathroom again for a little while and when she came out she was fully clothed and smiling, she glanced over at Adam and the soft humming died in her throat when she saw the expression on his face.
"Adam?" She asked softly, wondering if he'd had bad news while she was in the bathroom or something.
"So… You're going out on a date huh?"
Instantly she stiffened and an irritated expression came over her face. "What's it matter to you, not like you're interested." She said somewhat harshly.
He glared at her in response. "I don't want you going out with Punk."
"Well too bad, I am." She said simply, picking up her suitcase and placing it on the bed so she could look through it for something to wear.
"What do you mean too bad? Listen to me Katya!"
"No! You listen to me Adam! We might be friends, best friends even, but I am an ADULT, I am not your property and I WILL make my own choices. If you can't deal with that then get out!"
She wasn't quite sure when she had grown such a backbone, she usually didn't lose it at Adam like that- clearly he thought the same thing, staring at her in a rather astounded manner.
His mouth open and closed a couple of times before he managed to get out, "Fine." Standing up and walking out of the bedroom, slamming the door behind him. She rolled her eyes as she heard the TV turn on in the hotel living room and turned back to her clothes…
"What to wear…?" She mumbled to herself.
Eventually she pulled out a knee length black skirt and a nice green shirt that set off her eyes. She'd never really liked wearing the shirt before since it clung to her curves- not that she felt fat in it, but she just found loose clothing more comfortable, however, she was willing to wear it for Punk. She laid the clothes out on the bed and fished around in her bag for a simple pair of black heels before going into the bathroom to decide on her hair and makeup. It felt good to be girly for once, although she knew this wouldn't be a common occurrence.
She avoided Adam for most of the day- since when she'd come out of the bedroom she noticed he'd ordered room service but neglected to get her anything. He said something smart assed to which she flipped him the bird and left to get breakfast downstairs, sitting with Matt, Jeff and John (Morrison). She ended up going sightseeing with them as well, all too eager to avoid seeing Adam until she absolutely had to see him. They got back at about 5:30 and she went to shower again before doing her hair and makeup then getting dressed. Adam scowled at her when there was a knock on the door and she went to open it.
She grinned and blushed faintly when she had it open, revealing Punk standing there in a nice pair of jeans and a button up shirt which was slightly unbuttoned. She could see his tattoos through the sleeves which were partly rolled up. She was glad to see she wasn't too dressed up for the night and brought her eyes to his. She could feel Adam watching them and so could Punk, but he ignored Adam and leant in to kiss her cheek anyway, offering her his arm. She slid her arm through his and turned slightly to an angry looking Adam.
"See you when I get back, but don't wait up." She said sweetly, gaining only a grunt in response. Punk lead her away from the door which clicked shut behind them, looking slightly amused.
"I take it he's not happy about the date?" He asked her carefully.
She sighed and shook her head, "He's not happy about anything…"
"Are you?"
"Me? Of course I'm happy. I wouldn't be going out with you if I didn't want to." She assure him with a smile, and he smiled back at her, directing them into the elevator with ease.
Punk decided, as he drove them to the restaurant, that he would avoid the topic of Adam as much as he could. Their dinner passed smoothly and he was happy to see that Katya had no qualms with eating a whole pasta dish and still ordering dessert with him. She did say they had to share it though as she couldn't fit a whole one in. They'd just finished the ice cream when Punk slid his hand into hers.
He smiled as she promptly blushed and glanced up into his eyes, curiousness in her own.
"Katya… you know… we've gone on a few dates over the last week or so…" He said softly, and she nodded a bit. He hoped this wasn't too fast- although they'd known of each other they'd really only started learning about each other eleven days ago. "Well… I was wondering if you would like to officially be my girlfriend?"
He held his breathe for only a moment, feeling incredibly relieved as a bright smile spread across her face, lighting up her features. "I wouldn't like to be your girlfriend, I'd love to be your girlfriend."
They both chuckled softly and he leant in over the table to press a gentle kiss against her lips. It sent shivers down her spine, his soft lips pressing against hers and the slight coldness of the metal from his lip ring.
Author's Note: Okay, slightly longer chapter here :) So here we are at the end of Chapter Eight. Eleven days have passed since that first day that Katya bumped into Punk at the hotel and they've gone on a couple of dates and now, they're officially together!
Somehow I don't think Adam will be pleased… Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, even if most of it was fighting with Adam rofl. I promise you'll get some proper Katya/Punk action soon. Anyone care to take a guess at what's gonna happen next chapter?
Please review, I love to hear from you guys! Plus, if you haven't yet, take my poll!
