Another day another bus ride to another city.
Phil was staring out the bus watching the world go by. On the table in front of him was his ipad he was going threw some old pics when he came across a picture that brought a smile to his face.
It was a picture of Lisa and she was holding the wwe title belt that he won on July 17th 2011 he remembered when the pic was taken and he smiled.
Flashback July 17th 2011
"Dude you have got to calm down your gonna drop before your match even starts."
Colt was in phil's dressing room it was 5 hours before show time and phil was just chomping at the bit.
"Dude can you call them again they should have been here by now."
Colt pulled out his phone just as there was a knock on phil's dressing room door. He quickly opened it when she saw his sister's Chaleen, Cassie and Chez along with his mom but the only person he didn't see.
"Guys where's lisa."
"Phil she's couldn't make it."
"Where is she."
"Honey she's at the diner, she wanted to be here. Everyone that could close came down with the flu."
"Damn I really wanted her to be here."
"She is here honey. She's right in here." phil's mom said pointing to his heart.
After everyone left phil alone he decided to call lisa.
"Mary's"
"Hi gorgeous."
"Hey handsome. Shouldn't you be getting ready for your big match."
"Yeah I should be I wanted to call you and tell you that I really wish you were here."
"Phil believe me I wanted to be there I was looking forward to this all week."
"I know mom told me. I know you won't be able to watch but I just want to you know if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be here. You kicked me ass when I wanted to give up do you remember what you told me when I wanted to just throw it all away."
"Yeah I do. I said if you so much as quit before you get called up I will never ever speak to you and I will move out of Chicago and leave you friendless cause I will take everyone with me." Lisa said smiling.
"You saying that to me made me fight harder. And look at me now my contract is up at midnight and I might be walking out as champion. Your best friend lisa and I've been wanting to tell you this for a long time. Lisa."
"Yes phil."
"I, I lov…"
"Phillip just say it."
"I think. Lisa I think I."
"Punk 5 minutes man."
"Yeah I'll be right there. I'm sorry I gotta go. Wish me luck."
"Good Luck. Phil. Knock'em dead."
"Thanks. I'll call ya later."
"Bye." Lisa hung up."
"God you're an idiot why could you just tell her."
He dropped his phone in his pocket of his hoodie and headed out to the ring.
A few hours later lisa was in her apartment she was in the kitchen making a cup of tea she was just about to put the pot on the stove when she heard someone knock on her door.
The knocking kept getting louder.
"I'm coming hold your pants on." Lisa said unlocking the door.
When she opened the door there she saw phil still in his wrestling trunks breathing heavily.
"Phil what happened."
Phil walked into lisa's apartment.
"Phil come on what happened."
Phil turned around reveling what he worked so hard for.
"Oh my god is that what I think it is. Phil did you beat cena."
"I did it lisa. I won the belt."
Lisa was so proud of phil she walked over to him and hugged him tight and he hugged her just as tight back.
"Oh my god I can't believe it. You did it you won the title so now what does this mean."
"It means I'm the champion with no contract. So I'm on vacation till they call me and tell me they want me back."
Lisa picked up the title belt and placed it on her shoulder.
"Wow it's heavy. Hey take my picture."
"Why." He said grabbing lisa's phone.
"So I can say. CM Punk is my best friend and he let wear his wwe title belt."
Phil just smiled and took her picture.
"You'll have to send that to me."
"I will."
Phil walked over to lisa and grabbed her hand.
"Lisa there was something I wanted to tell you before my match tonight but I didn't get the chance."
"Yes phil, what was it you wanted to say."
"I've been trying to find the right way to say so here goes. Lisa I think I'm."
"You think your what phil."
"I think I better get going I'm sure everyone is wondering where I am."
"Oh ok. Well congratulations." Lisa said kissing his cheek.
"I'll call you tomorrow."
"You bet. Hey why don't I take you out to dinner to celebrate your big win."
"Yeah sounds good. I'm looking forward to it."
Phil and lisa said there goodbyes.
Phil walked to his place and sat down on the front steps.
"So did you tell her."
"I couldn't do it Cabana."
"Dude if you don't do it now you never will."
"Then maybe I never will."
"Phil. You've been in love with her since she was 18 maybe it's time to just let it go. Maybe you guys are only ever meant to be friends and nothing more."
Phil said looking at his title belt.
The heavy piece of gold he held in his hand was nothing compared to the his heavy heart. He loved lisa but he knew they would never be anything more then friends.
End Flashback.
Phil couldn't stop staring at the picture of Lisa with his old title belt. He smiled to himself.
Just a couple years ago he knew he loved her. What changed and why was he feeling this way again. He had a great thing going with Jessica he loved her but when ever he was around lisa he did nothing but smile. She could always make him feel better no matter how bad his day was.
He said to himself.
"I wonder if she's ever felt the same way about me that I do about her."
He said looking at a picture of them from new york a few weeks ago. He sighed and rubbed his hand on the back of neck turning off his ipad, he leaned his head back and closed his eyes but all he could see was lisa's blue eyes and her pink lips. All he could do was smile.
