I'm back with another chapter for you awesome people. For those of you who are big fans of the Shield, you'll like this chapter as they're in it quite a bit :)
"OH MY GOD! AHH! YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED!" Mia squeaked as she jumped up and down. With Christmas over with it was back on the road and time for house shows again. And with it only a few days away from New Year's Eve, Raw was being pre-recorded the following day so the superstar's could celebrate with family. Walking into the locker room to see the girls again, Mia couldn't hide her excitement after Kaitlyn revealed that Seth had proposed over Christmas, AJ wasn't much better either. All three girls jumping up and down excitedly.
"We have to go out and celebrate. This is so exciting," Mia smiled as she hugged Kaitlyn tightly, already planning a night out.
"Let me see the ring again?"
Mia smiled as Kaitlyn held her hand out once again revealing the emerald engagement ring. Seth had choses a beautiful emerald and diamond platinum engagement ring.
"That ring is so beautiful and it matches your gorgeous green eyes. I can't believe you're getting married, my baby is growing up."
Kaitlyn laughed, "Mia I'm the same age as you."
"You know what I mean. Anyway, I am technically nine months older than you." Mia stuck her tongue out at her friend.
AJ stood laughing at her two friends, she couldn't image not being in the road with the two divas.
"So when did he propose? How did he propose? Tell us everything."
Kaitlyn smiled at the memory of Seth proposing. "He proposed Christmas eve after we decided to open one present each; he knew it was a thing I did with my family. He picked two presents from under the tree and then got down on one knee whilst I was sat on the couch opening the box. I started crying, said yes and then jumped on him. In that order."
Walking out of the locker room and turning the corner Mia saw Punk, Seth, Dean and Roman and instantly made a beeline for Seth, jumping into his arms, much to the amusement of all four guys.
"Congratulations. I'm so happy for you guys!"
As Seth placed her back on the ground, a smile on his face, and she stepped back from them, Dean was first to comment, bemused. "Err sweetheart, wrong guy. You're with that one." He pointed to Punk.
"But he didn't just propose to one of my best friends. I'll get to him later." Mia smiled.
"You've seen Kaitlyn then?" Seth smiled.
"Yeah, she just told me and AJ, you big romantic."
Punk just stood there with Dean and Roman amused; of course he and the two other members of the Shield knew about Seth's plan to propose over Christmas.
"Yeah, who knew this guy could be so romantic." Punk grinned at his two toned friend.
Mia eyed Punk, "Wait, you knew and you didn't tell me?"
Punk pulled Mia to where he stood, an arm around her lower back. "Yes he told me and I didn't tell you because I knew you wouldn't be able to keep it a secret.
"What because I'm a woman so I can't keep a secret?"
"No. Because she's one of your best friends, look at how excited you are now. You wouldn't have been able to not grin around her and then she would have asked loads of questions and it would have ruined the surprise."
Mia stuck her tongue out at him before moving closer to him and wrapping her arms around his waist.
"Aww look at these two, all loved up." Roman grinned at the pair.
"It's sickening," Dean groaned in a joking manor.
Mia lifted her head slightly from Punk's chest to look at Dean. "You know you love us really, especially me." she winked at him.
"That's what you think, sunshine."
"Says the guy who was sniffing me on Smackdown," She gave him a coy smile. It was easy to joke around with the guys, knowing Seth from ROH and of course his relationship with Kaitlyn. Dean and Roman she knew from NXT and Punk knew the guys pretty well too.
"I was actually trying to sniff JBL, you just happened to be in the way."
That set Mia off, laughing into Punk's chest.
Calming down a little she looked at Dean again. "I'll remember that in the future."
At that moment Roman's stomach decided to growl loudly.
"Someone's hungry. I think it's time to head to catering." Mia then smiled sweetly at Punk, "Piggyback?"
Punk smirked at her, "You have legs, you know how to use them." He teased her.
Mia acted shocked, though the amused glint in her eyes betrayed her as she held a hand to her chest. "What has the world come to when your own boyfriend won't give you a piggyback?"
Punk simply grinned at her, "Ask the big guy, I'm sure he'll happily give you one."
Mia turned to where Roman stood knowing Punk meant him by 'big guy' giving him the same sweet smile.
Roman returned her smile. "Seeing as, unlike Punk, I'm a nice guy, sure I'll give you a piggyback. I know how to treat a lady." He smirked at Punk before bending down so Mia could climb up on his back before they all headed off to catering, receiving a few odd looks on the way.
Punk walked in to find Mia and AJ sparing in the ring before the recording of Raw that night. Watching them he wondered why they had never been put into a feud before. They were both talented and watching them now he could tell they would put a good match on.
Bouncing off the ropes Mia went to clothesline AJ but the smaller diva landed a kick in her midsection first. As Mia went down on all fours on the mat AJ got in position to put her friend in the deadly Black Widow.
"Oww-ok that hurts a lot more than I thought it would. Remind me to never tease the Bella's about it again."
AJ grinned, "So you gonna tap?"
"Nope."
Punk was right down by the ring now. "Hey girls looks like someone's having fun," he smiled at the two girls.
"Yeah loads of fun, "Mia grimaced as she tried to stand up with AJ still attached to her.
"You gonna tap anytime soon?" AJ asked once again.
"Nah I'm good."
Punk chucked, "And people say I'm stubborn?"
"You are," AJ and Mia both called out to him at the same time.
Punk just laughed.
Mia finally relented, "Fine I tap," she said as she taped the mat.
AJ released her smiling. "Everyone always does. Even if you only did it so you can go make out with Phil."
Mia grinned back at AJ as she climbed out of the ring and headed to where Punk was stood against the barrier. "You know me too well, A."
Mia and Punk headed out to the ring, Punk ready to deliver his promo to the Shield. Mia stood in the corner of the ring whilst Punk walked stood in the middle, smiling as thousands of fans cheered for him. He never got tired of hearing the 'Punk' chants.
"I'm fired up tonight and I'm fired up to be here in Richmond, Virginia. This is the last Raw of 2013. End of a year, right around the corner the beginning of a new one and I'm excited. 2013 saw a lot of good stuff happen to CM Punk," he stopped briefly to smirk at Mia who bit down on her bottom lip as she smiled at him.
"It also saw a lot of bad stuff happen to CM Punk too. Just like a lot of you, there are ups and there are downs. We wake up every morning and we go to work with a smile on our face, don't we? Well sometimes I don't have a smile on my face but that's neither here nor there. I started of the year as the longest reigning champion of the WWE of the past 25 years. I went one on one with the great one. I went toe to toe with the Undertaker at Wrestlemania.
I've made some friends," Punk once again smirked at Mia who was now sat on the top rope in the corner. "I've lost some. I then beat said friend within an inch of his life with a kendo stick, Paul Heyman. But I don't think I can honestly claim 2013 was CM Punk's year. No I mean that was the goal. The goal is always to be bigger and better then the year before. I just don't know if 2013 was the year of Punk. I take a look at the landscape of the WWE and it's universe and there are three guys I can probably lay claim to saying it was their year, and I'm talking about the Shield. Let's face facts ladies and gentlemen; in 2013 the Shield has been unstoppable.
Dean Ambrose, currently your United States Champion. Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, former tag team champions. I want to end this year right and I want to start the new one off on a good foot. Iron sharpens iron. I have a proposition for the Shield so let's, at some point tonight, when our paths cross, and I'm sure they will."
Hotel Sierra India Echo Lima Delta Lima Shield: The Shields music filled the arena as the three member of the Shield descended down the stairs.
As they reached the ring Dean, like normal, kicked things off.
"Finish your thought Punk. Finish your thought. What were you going to say? What's your big challenge? It better be a good one. You better give us a good reason not to end 2013 by ending you right now."
Mia stayed sat on the top rope, knowing it was best for her to stay away from the Shield. She watched intently, intrigued. Though on the inside she was trying her hardest to not grin at how talented Dean was on the mic. Man could he cut a promo; it was hard to look away from him, to not be enticed like all the fans. The way he was out in the ring always surprised her from his laid back persona backstage. Jon Good, though she tended to call him Dean backstage too she found it easier, like a lot of others, to call people by their ring name as it could get confusing sometimes. Though occasionally there would be people who preferred you to call them by their actual name. Jon Good though was a completely different person in the ring, his wrestling style chaotic, his persona eccentric and that always amused and intrigued her.
Punk looked at Dean, "Cool down. Look, the three of you can beat any one man, I think we've established that in the past 365 days. And I'm not taking anything away from you as a unit. But when I said iron sharpens iron, I live to be the best and I want to fight the best one on one. So I want to know who it's going to be because one of you out of one of you. Out of the three of you, excuse me…out of the three of you, one of you is the best."
Dean was close to Punk again, "Oooh you wanna do this again? You wanna do it again then let's do it. Right now and this time I promise I not leaving this ring without taking a piece of you with me. Let's do this right now."
Punk could help but laugh. "Hey, hang on, Dean. I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. I've already beaten you like half a dozen times. And what im saying is it wasn't easy but I did it."
Dean was getting angry, "You think that's funny?"
"No I don't think it's funny-"
Dean cut him off. "You think this is a joke?"
"No-"
Dean once again cut Punk off as he went off on one, pacing the ring. "You think this is funny? You think I'm a joke?" Seth tried calming him down.
"I don't think you're a joke Dean Ambrose. I just think you're the weak link and I want to find out who the strong one of the Shield is. Everybody says Roman Reigns, Roman look at me when I'm talking to you. Is it you? Are you the number one in the Shield? Are you the man?"
Now It was Seth's turn to assert his authority. "Hey, you want to know who the best is. You're looking at him. I'll fight you tonight. I'll fight you tonight. Let's do this."
"Oh it's you? Cos all I ever hear anybody talk about is Roman Reigns."
At this point, Roman pulled Seth over. The two stood talking in the middle of the ring; Seth assuring him he could do it. Then a still bitter Brad Maddox came out.
"Someone get me a ref out here, because this match is going to start now."
Punk walked over to where Mia was still sat handing her his jacket as she gave him a quick kiss before moving.
Cole: Well it looks like tonight we're about to see CM Punk take on Seth Rollins. But after last week, you have to wonder where Dean's attention will be.
Lawler: Well it's going to be an interesting match. It seems like Punk is trying to come between the Shield as he asks them who the best of the group is and calls Dean Ambrose the weak link. I guess we're about to find out now if Dean's attention will be on the match or Mia.
Seth and Punk locked up, Punk getting Rollins' in a head lock before running into the ropes and clotheslining Seth. Punk went to go for the GTS but Rollins broke out of Punk's hold. Punk got Seth again with a running knee before climbing the top rope to do the People's elbow but Seth moved out of the way, Punk jumped down onto the mat.
Cole: While it seems that Roman is concentrating on watching this match, watching as his friend takes on Punk, Ambrose seems more interested in watching Mia.
Lawler: Yes, Seth was eager to prove himself telling Roman: I got this, trust me. Ambrose is an odd man. We saw how unhappy he was when Punk said he didn't want to wrestle him. Ambrose seemed to be under the illusion that Punk was mocking him.
JBL: Seth climbing the rope now…and Punk kicks him down.
Lawler: And a cross body from the top rope, Seth showing once more his high-flying style.
In the ring Punk had Seth in the Anaconda vice but Dean climbed into the ring breaking Punk's hold on Seth.
Cole: Dean interfering in the match now, breaking Punk's hold on Seth. And smirking at Mia as he does it.
Lawler: Does Dean Ambrose have an interest in Mia though or is he just trying to get into Punk's mind, playing games?
Cole: Seth pinning Punk now but the ref is too busy dealing with the other members of the Shield to notice.
Lawler: Punk kicking out at two and Seth looking at his teammates, not happy.
After the ref got distracted with the other two members, Seth went over to the rope to talk to them giving Punk time to recover before eventually doing the GTS on Seth and getting the win.
Heading to the bar to get some more drinks, Mia tapped her fingers randomly on the bar as she waited for the barman to makeup her order. Feeling someone behind her, she knew straightaway it was Punk before he even spoke, as he placed his hands on the bar either side of her before placing a soft kiss on her neck.
"Have I told you how good you look tonight?" he whispered into her ear.
Mia turned around so she was facing him. "Only about ten times. Apparently I should wear leather pants more often." She smirked at him. Choosing a purple and white Aztec print top and black leather pants to wear that night as they all went out to celebrate Kaitlyn and Seth's engagement, Punk had repeatedly told her how much he liked her in it throughout the night. Punk was a fan of how it emphasised her legs and ass.
Punk's answer was to kiss Mia. As his lips found hers, sliding his tongue into her mouth, all Mia's thoughts of getting a round of drinks in was lost as she wrapped an arm around Punk's neck. Punk pulled some money out of his pocket and handed it to the barman as he stood there kissing Mia.
Sitting back at the table which consisted of Mia, Punk, Kaitlyn, Seth, AJ, Dean, Roman, Zack, Dolph, Mike and Kofi, Mia raised her glass.
"To my favourite couple with two toned hair, congratulations you cuties." Mia smiled, a little tipsy from all the rum and coke she had been drinking that night. Everyone raised their glasses.
A tipsy Zack raised his beer bottle once more, "Now we need karaoke. A night out is never complete without some singing, and this place does karaoke."
A huge grin plastered Mia's face. "You are so right Zack. And do you know who is really good at karaoke?" she turned to face Punk. Oh how he knew this was coming as soon as Zack brought up karaoke.
"No way, Tinks."
Mia pouted at him, "Pleeease? It'll be fun."
"Not happening. You don't need me anyway; Zack will do it with you."
"You know it," Zack declared.
"I will too!" An excited, and also tipsy AJ, grinned.
As the three of them stood up singing Beyoncé's Single Ladies, everyone back at the table couldn't help but laugh as they recorded their friends. Kaitlyn, Dolph and Mike cheered them on loudly. It had been Zack who chose the song; Mia was happy to do it declaring she loved every Beyoncé song and knew the dance to Single Ladies. AJ was pretty excited to do the song to, telling the guys that the Bella's had once taught her the dance backstage when their match had been scrapped after another match had gone on too long.
