Chapter 10 - It is what it is

Once AJ arrived at Raw in Wisconson she felt as though everyone was looking at her again. She was sort of getting used to it but it stilled sucked.

Last night was the Elimination Chamber and while April was finally able to have a match, it was against Cameron. Cameron has had little to none experience in singles matches but she found her to definitely be a more creditable opponent than Eva Marie.

She had missed several calls an texts from Punk on Sunday morning saying he needed to urgently speak to her but she had missed them during her flight. And she was yet to call him back as she had been so busy.

As she was finally alone in the locker room she decided that now was the best time to see what all the fuss was about and yet now it seemed as if his phone was off. She tried a few more times before tossing her phone away as she thought about headed out to find tonights script. Of course her peace would be interupted.

"What did I tell you little girl?" chirped Nikki as she walked into the practically empty locker room. "He was just going to cheat on you."

"Why do you constantly have to bring up this stuff to me? I have never heard you say one thing about the other girls boyfriends. This isn't high school?!"

"Just wanted to let you know that word is he slept with that female UFC fighter over the weekend. No surprise he got bored of you."

"Ugh. Of course you feed into ridiculous rumors" she spat as she once again left the locker room.

As AJ began roaming the corridors her mind went into overdrive. Is that the reason he was calling? To say that he was sorry and it didn't mean anything? While she trusted Punk completely she was just too exhausted from everything to think.

She wasn't even on TV tonight, especially since she still didn't have a feud going into Wrestlemania. She hoped that Trinity would be back and the two could have a decent match at the big event but creative still haven't said a word. All she could guarantee from Stephanie is that she would be dropping the title, which she would be fine with if she was given a decent match.

As soon as the taping's had finish, April didn't bother to hang around and hoped straight into her rental car and headed back to the hotel star was already checked into.

"Oh my god!" she screamed in fear as she saw someone sitting on the bed of her hotel room. As she switched the light on she saw it was none other than Phil with a large bouquet of flowers sitting beside him.

"Sorry!" he quickly spoke as he saw how freaked out she was.

"What are you doing here?" she questioned him as she dumped her bags by the couch and continue to maintain her distance.

"I needed to see you. I swear to you April that nothing happened."

"I know that."

"Really?!" he asked her in a surprised tone.

"Yeah, I know you were in LA and someone took a picture of you in an elevator" spoke AJ which cause a small smile to form on the face of Punk.

"How can you be so cool? You know my past, I've cheated before."

"I know" she interjected.

"Multiple times" he reminded her.

"I try to forget it honestly" she glared.

"So seriously how are you so cool about this?"

"I completely trust you" April stated simply.

"Yes, you doofus."

"How did I get so lucky to have you?"

"You were always yourself, and that's all I can ever ask of you. But let it be know that I'm stronger than I look and could probably seriously hurt you if you ever did anything stupid."

Punk gulped. "Understood ma'am."

"Good" she smiled and they finally realized they had a chance to spend a rare night together.

AJ certainly didn't want to be at RAW tonight. She was in Chicago for the TV taping and was required to show up backstage but they had already told her that she was not going to be used on TV tonight because of the reaction she would most likely receive.

AJ had found a special place in her heart for Chicago, the city Punk claimed to be his first love, especially after Punk took her out on their first date at a Chicago ball park.

"Guess what?" Punk asked her as he walked into the 'dining area' of his bus to find his new girlfriend of just over a month on the couch playing on the X-box.

"What?" She replied not taking her eyes off the screen.

"I feel like you love my X-box more than me!" he complained as he pouted on the other couch.

"I thought that was obvious" she replied cheekily as she paused her game and walked over to straddle his lap on the other couch. "I'm sorry. What's up?"

"It doesn't matter anymore" he continued to pout.

"You can't do that!" she exclaimed as she playfully hit his bicep.

"Ow" he pretended. "Kiss it better" he continued a he acted like a small child. She of course reacted by lightly kissing the tattooed spot she just hit.

"Better" she asked him.

"Much" he smiled.

"So what was your purpose of interrupting my gaming?"

"I'm going to take you out on a date this week" he gleefully told her.

"Really. Our first date?"

"Yep! I'm taking you to the Chicago Cubs game this Wednesday" excitedly spoke Punk.

"You know I'm not a big sport person, right?" she asked him.

"Yes, but I have an extra ticket cause Colt can't make it so I thought there was no better pick than you" he smiled. He was not expecting her reaction though.

"Oh so I'm your second choice!" She spat as she got up and playfully stormed off.

"No no no. I didn't mean it like that!" he frantically replied not wanting to angry the small spitfire that was his girlfriend. He chased

"I'm kidding. I'd love to go with you" she replied earning wide eyes from Punk at how quickly she could change her emotion.

AJ actually enjoyed the game a lot more than she expected to. And she found it adorable that Punk had managed to catch a foul ball for her. After the game they went out for Pizza before heading back to his place.

April could honestly say that was the best first date she has ever been on.

It wasn't until the following afternoon that the pair became aware that the cameras picked up Punk catching the ball and hence photos of their outing were posted all over the internet. Now it was going to become public knowledge that they were more than friends and neither wanted to mix their private and personal lives together.

The Bella's were absolutely thrilled they were having a match tonight and hence AJ avoided the locker room the entire night in order to not have to deal with their bragging. She just wandered the arena until she found some empty crates to sit on. She decided to call Punk and check on how he was doing.

"I'll come and pick you up right now if you want?" He asked hopefully knowing the reason for her call.

"I have to work. You know that."

"I'm still going to ask every time though. It's only been since this morning and I already miss you. '

"I'm going to your place tonight remember and then I'll catch my flight to Smackdown in the morning."

"Perfect, but I only offer free accommodation if you walk around naked" joked Punk.

"I'll try my best" laughed April.

"What time are you on tonight?"

"I'm not" she replied sadly.

"What?! I'm glad I didn't buy a front row ticket then."

"It is what it is. It's probably for the best. Then I won't be drowned out by 'CM Punk' chants."

"Do you chants bother you?"

"Not that much. I mean it just shows you how many fans miss you. But the execs think that people just don't care about the Divas anymore. And the other girls take their anger out on on me."

"Well I'll continue to sit on my couch and chant 'AJ Lee' as loud as possible and maybe they will hear me from the Allstate Arena."

"You might want to watch the opening segment, Paul's going out and I think they are using your music. Has he spoken to you?"

"He sent a text before and asked for permission to talk about me. And I trust him to do it right. But I don't think I'll watch. You can fill in the details later."

"Will do babe. I'll text you later. I love you."

"I love you too. Bye."
