It means a lot that you read and I'd love to hear what you think :D Okay, enjoy :))
Punk fumbled around in the cupboards on the walls in the bathroom, looking for his aftershave. That was the one bad thing about travelling with Kofi and Miz, both men liked to smell good and stored tons of their own aftershave in the bathroom as well. Punk eventually found his as it had been pushed towards the back. He placed it neatly on the side of the sink whilst he brushed his teeth gaining minty breath.
It was lucky that he always kept at least two outfits in the bathroom, since he'd walked into the bathroom without any of his usual stuff. He opened the drawers under the sink, taking out a pair of stone washed jeans to change out of his sweats into. The Thor t-shirt had to stay.
After changing into his jeans, Punk squirted some of his musky aftershave all over himself, filling the room with the particles, causing him to inhale it and get a nasty taste at the back of his throat. He unlocked the door and swung it open, letting the smell escape, then he washed his mouth out with water again to clear it.
AJ waited patiently in the lounge, watching a random cartoon on the TV. She didn't mind waiting around for Punk, she knew that Miz and Kofi had influenced him to spend a lot of time on getting himself ready.
Punk gelled back his hair and put on his favourite baseball cap before leaving the bathroom and heading for the lounge where AJ was waiting.
"You ready to go exploring?" AJ asked eagerly as she stood up, turning off the television.
"Ready when you are" Punk replied.
AJ gave him a toothy smile and went to link her arm in his as they walked down the steps of the bus together. It would be a long walk into town and Punk didn't plan on getting a taxi to take them there. It wouldn't be that bad because luckily it wasn't too cold outside, although he did think AJ might regret not bringing a jacket of any sort.
They walked up the concrete stairs and returned to ground level, where they could see out of the door in front and into the arena car park. Punk hoped there wouldn't be too many people around, and if they kept their heads down he was sure they'd get away unnoticed.
AJ could see Punk was a little nervous about them going out in public together, so she kept her head down also, letting her long wavy hair cover her face.
They walked speedily out of the car park, taking a short cut through the middle, dodging the cars of the crew members and arena staff. Punk saw a sign indicating that the city wasn't too far away, and it wouldn't be longer than a ten minute walk, as the arena wasn't far away from the heart of Buffalo, New York.
They had been walking for a while when Punk's eyes lit up as he saw a Starbucks across the street. He took AJ's hand as they crossed the busy road as fast as they could; he was dying for a coffee.
As they entered they were greeted by the smell of freshly ground coffee and milk, one of the few smells Punk loved. It was pretty much empty inside, with only a few business looking people sitting alone at tables with their laptops, looking hard at work. Punk knew they wouldn't have to try too hard to hide themselves inside. He queued up with AJ behind a tall man in a pinstripe suit, waiting to order.
"Who's next please?"
"Yeah, can I get one regular coffee with milk please, and uh-?"
"One soy latte, please," AJ continued.
Punk looked at her slightly strangely, but continued to dig around in his pocket to grab the accurate change for the woman at the cash register. He handed over the money and they waited for their beverages to be made.
"Soy latte?"
"Yeah, I prefer it to regular milk." AJ responded.
They collected their drinks and went to a table in the far corner, by the radiator.
As they sipped away happily at their drinks, Punk and AJ joked around for a bit, and then Punk began to get flirty, holding AJ's hands across the table.
Being so involved in each other, both of them failed to notice a fellow wrestler with a camera walking past. The mysterious co-worker spotted Punk and AJ holding hands, and whispering into each other's ears and decided to document the occasion with a picture.
"Someone's going to be interested to see this."
The stalker stood outside the office of Vickie Guerrero, holding the photo evidence. They knocked a couple of times before being invited in.
"What do you want?" Vickie asked in her irritable tone.
"I've got something I think you might like to see, Ms Guerrero," the mysterious wrestler said, holding out the camera displaying the photo of AJ and CM Punk together.
Vickie Guerrero leaned in closer to try and make sense of what she was seeing. Was that AJ and CM Punk? They both knew full well no relationships were to be brought into the public without herself and the Board of Directors knowing first, this was to be very interesting.
"Thank you very much Daniel, may I keep this?"
"Do whatever you want with it," He replied in a mischievous tone.
