Chapter 37: Snowy Night
Punk was in Vince's office waiting on him to get the time off to get married and honeymoon. He wasn't nervous about asking for the time because he planned on taking it whether Vince approved it or not.
"Sorry Phil" Vince was one of the very few backstage that called Punk Phil. He entered the office and took a seat "What can I do for you?"
"This won't take long" Punk said to him casually resting in his chair "I'm getting married"
"Yes I've read the dirsheets" Vince said seriously
"Ok let me be a tad bit more specific with you" Punk remarked annoyed "I'm getting married the week after Wrestlemania"
"Hell of a time" Vince noted
"April and I need the time off" Punk told him "We're getting married that Friday and we need the next full week off to honeymoon"
"You want me to give my WWE champion an entire week off and my Diva's champion?" Vince asked annoyed
"April isn't the Diva's champion" Punk informed him
"She will be after Wrestlemania" Vince confirmed "At least that's the way it's looking."
"Wow that's great" Punk said honestly "But it doesn't change the fact that we can't work that week"
"I'm assuming everything is already booked and planned?" Vince questioned
"Yup" Punk smiled
"So I guess I don't have much of a choice" Vince sighed "Fine"
"Great knew you would understand" Punk grinned
"So I'm assuming my invitation got lost in the mail?" Vince asked and Punk let out a laugh
"You're not the social gathering type" Punk smirked
"Fair" Vince agreed "Congratulations Phil"
"Thanks" Punk said to him as he walked towards the door
"This is going to make the new story all that much better" Punk knew it was too easy. He turned around and walked back to his seat across from Vince's desk and took a seat "What the hell are you talking about?"
"We want to put you with AJ onscreen" Vince said to him and Punk laughed bitterly
"Why?" Punk asked with a sigh "Let her go out and wrestle that's all she wants to do"
"She will be. You two will be a power couple! WWE champion and WWE Diva's champion together" Vince said to him
"So you're turning us heel?" Punk asked
"Why do you ask that?" Vince asked back
"There aren't many face power couples" Punk remarked "Are you sure that's a smart play? April has more heel turns then Big Show already and I hate to point out I'm selling more than John boy"
"You're a natural heel" Vince said to him "So is AJ. This is going to be big money. My top face and top heel and add in AJ who also has an onscreen history with John it's golden"
"I don't want April being degraded onscreen" Punk warned him "I want you to guarantee me that she'll have a chance to really wrestler also"
"She'll be Diva's champion of course she'll wrestle" Vince said brushing it off "We were originally going to run the story with Dolph and AJ but clearly you two are a better fit"
"No live sex shows" Punk warned
"It's a PG show now" Vince reminded
"I just don't want April turned into a Lita where it was all about sex all of the time" Punk said to him and Vince nodded
"Again it's a PG show Phil" Vince said to him "I don't want to degrade AJ either we have big plans for her here. Her shirt will be out in time for Wrestlemania we also have a whole line of cups, hats and even socks coming out"
"Good" Punk said standing up and leaving the office
As soon as Punk stepped back into his locker room he gave an annoyed look at all of the people inside. The three shield members were sprawled across his couch and April was sitting on the floor looking through a book.
"Hello" Punk said unsurely closing the door
"Oh hey honey" April said to him "I was just showing the guys my new shirt"
"The one I can't see?" Punk asked amused
"I got you one actually" April smiled "And check this out" she said passing him the book "I sketched out all of the ways I want the shirt cut up"
"Wow" Punk said impressed
"She has way too much free time" Roman laughed
"I do not" April shot back at him
"Yea shut up or she's going to kick us out of the bridal party" Seth warned
"Bridal party?" Punk asked "You three actually agreed to be bridesmaids"
"She said we didn't have to wear dresses" Dean shrugged "Right?" he clarified looking at April
"No dresses" April promised
"We're in" Dean said simply
"An all male bridal party" Punk mumbled "Wonderful"
"These are great by the way" Punk said skimming the pages of sketches
"Oh thanks" April smiled
"Is that a new ring?" Roman asked noticing the smaller ring on April's hand
"Oh you didn't share that story with your three buddies?" Punk asked "You guys remember Jason right?"
"That scumbag" Dean muttered
"Dude get over it" Seth said seriously
"I'm over it" Dean argued "I just think he sucks as a person"
"So what happened?" Roman asked
"I got mugged" April told them and all three looked surprised
"By Jason?" Dean asked stunned "You couldn't take him?"
"No it wasn't Jason" April said shaking her head "It was two other guys"
"Are you ok?" Seth asked
"I'm fine I didn't get hurt" April said to them
"So what does it have to Jason?" Seth asked
"Well Jason stopped by our home and he was still in deep debt with some loan sharks" Punk said to them "He also knew were April was at the exact time she was mugged. The ring and necklace they ripped off of her was just enough to cover it all"
"What a dick" Dean spat "Next time I see him I'm going to beat him"
"He's not even Tampa anymore" April said to him "He told me he was living in Chicago"
"Doesn't change the fact he's long overdue for a beating" Roman said to her
"And we'll just happen to be in Chicago in a few weeks" Seth smiled
"You won't be seeing him around" April said to them "I know Phil has been scooping out local gyms he was probably lying"
"How did you know that?" Punk asked her
"Colt told me" April said to him with a shrug
"He's such a fucking snitch" Punk muttered
"Alright we have to go warm up" Roman said standing up with the other guys "We'll catch you later"
"Bye" April said as they walked out of the room. "So do you want your shirt now?"
"Yes" Punk said taking one of the empty seats on the couch. She reached into a bag and pulled out
"Here you go" she said holding up the men's version of her shirt "Do you like it?" she asked anxiously
"I love it" He chuckled. "But do you really believe Love Bites?"
"Well you always bite me" April noted
"That is true" Punk grinned fondly
"I actually have this mark right on my hip bone-" April said looking at the mark
"You need a matching one on the other side" Punk suggested
"Maybe later" April smirked and Punk's eyes lit up "So what are you doing tonight?"
"I am going to be a guest on the highlight reel" Punk informed her
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" April asked
"Yes because we'll be in the same ring together and if he starts saying something I don't like I can just hit him" Punk said happily "he's also been instructed to not mention your name"
"Good" April said to him "Have you spoken to him at all?"
"No" Punk said coolly "And I don't plan to"
"It's going to be tough to work a story without communication, no?" April questioned
"Nah" Punk said with a shrug
"Well I have a match tonight" April informed him proudly
"No kidding" he said to her "With who?"
"Me and Celeste vs. Layla & Alicia Fox" April said to him
"Cool I'll be watching" Punk promised
"Oh good because I'm debuting a new finisher" April said to him
"Oh yea?" Punk asked "What happened to the shinning wizard?"
"I'll still use it but when you think about it the only Diva here who uses a submission as a finisher is Nattie" April pointed out "I want to stand out and be able to take on Nattie with my own submission"
"Cool so what is it?" Punk asked
"The Black Widow" April grinned
"Never heard of it" Punk said seriously
"I bet you haven't seen it the way I'm going to do it either" April said proudly
"Oh really?" Punk smirked
"Yes and if you play your cards right I might just put you in it tonight" April teased
"I don't know if I should be turned on or scared" Punk said seriously
"Both" April smirked and pecked his lips "I'm going to get my hair done I'll be back"
Punk made his way out to the ring that Jericho was already in waiting to interview Punk. Jericho seemed relax and smug, too smug for Punk's liking. He definitely had something up his sleeve.
"Hey Punk" Jericho greeted Punk entered the ring "Welcome to the highlight reel" Punk just gave him a sarcastic smile "I'm glad we can to do this and put it all out there"
"I'm not here to talk Jericho" Punk informed him
"That's a shame because I have a lot to say" Jericho pouted childishly "And no I'm not going to talk about the alcoholism that runs in your family and no I'm not going to talk about your future wife's questionable past-" Punk was about to interject but Jericho cut him off "Didn't say her name" Jericho defended with a grin
"You're pushing me Chris" Punk warned
"You should respect that" Chris argued "That's what you do! You push every singles person buttons and I'm just returning the favor. How come when you talk nothing is off limits? But before I came out here I was given a list of things I can't discuss with you?"
"Because you don't have boundaries Chris" Punk reminded him
"Are you sure it's not because you're hiding something?" Chris questioned
"What the hell are you talking about Chris?" Punk sighed "I'm not hiding a damn thing. I'm not hiding my girlfriend, I'm not hiding my family's past- I'm upfront about everything"
"I don't know about that" Chris chuckled "I think you are hiding something or I guess the better phrase is holding out on all of us" Punk just squinted his eyes at the man in front of him "You claim your fiancée is a good innocent little girl" he said and Punk just listened "But I have proof that is a lie" he grinned
"You know what Chris-" Punk was cut off
"Hold up!" Chris said holding his hand up "This was tricky to get in here since you blocked a lot of my connections for me so I had to do this the old fashioned way" he said seriously "Ladies and gentlemen the month of April just a lot hotter" he grinned gesturing his arms and a large photo dropped from the ceiling as if there was a huge unveiling.
Punk looked up and dropped his microphone upon seeing a photo of April his April barely dressed. The photo wasn't unfamiliar to him since it was included in the album she gave him for Christmas last year. Punk's eyes nearly jumped out of his head while he heard the whistles from the male portion of the crowd. Once he snapped back to reality he saw Jericho laughing hysterically.
"Self proclaimed nerd?" Jericho asked still laughing "I'd say she's a-" Punk hit Jericho square in the face and lifted him into the GTS effectively knocking him out cold. He then reached up and tugged down the photo and the boo's from the crowd infuriated him even more. Jericho rolled out of the ring and Punk was left fuming in the ring. He turned and climbed out of the ring and grabbed Jericho and started tossing him into barricades, the stairs, the ring post- anywhere that he possibly could until officials came out and broke them up.
Punk made his way backstage and was in no mood. He walked right over to the production area where Vince always sat and controlled the show.
"You approved that?" Punk seethed "Are you fucking crazy!"
"Calm down" Vince said pulling off his headset
"Calm down?" Punk mocked "You had to have approved that! That photo was fucking private!"
"I didn't approve that" Vince assured him
"Your dumbass son-in-law approved that?" Punk questioned
"Relax" Vince said to him "You pulled it right down"
"Oh yea it's not like it was televised and recorded!" Punk screamed "How could you let this happen!"
"Calm down" Vince warned in a low voice
"You promised me not one hour ago you wouldn't let shit like this happen!" Punk shouted
"Phil baby" April said grabbing onto his arm and tugging him away from Vince "It's ok"
"It's not ok!" Punk seethed. His face was as a red as a tomato, the veins in his neck were about to explode.
"Phil" April sighed "Don't lose your cool" she whispered
"Where did you get that picture!" Punk shouted making his way towards Jericho and ignoring April's suggestion
"This album fell out of your bag" Jericho shrugged innocently "By the way you looked great" he winked towards April
"Don't fucking talk to her!" Punk threatened
"Chill out man you should proud you got such a hot piece" Jericho defended seriously "I mean wow"
"I'm going to-" Punk started
"Enough" Hunter said walking over to them "Go chill out Punk" he said to him
"Oh fuck this" Punk roared
"Phil let's go back to the locker room" April insisted "After my match we'll go"
"He stole my private property" Punk informed Hunter
"Don't be such a baby" Jericho mocked "Also why do you travel with that? I mean isn't the real thing enough?" Punk went to lunge at Jericho but Hunter stood in the way
"This is the most unprofessional shit hole I have ever worked in!" Punk shouted then stormed off and April raced after him.
Later that night after trying to calm Punk down to avail April had to go out for her match. All she wanted was for the match to be over so she can get Punk out there before he killed Jericho.
"So how mad is he?" Paul asked walking over to him
"Remember how mad he was when you yelled at me and Jericho first mentioned me?" April asked Paul Heyman who nodded "Multiply it by 15,000"
"That's better then I thought" Paul chuckled "Are you ok?"
"Yea I mean it's embarrassing and all but I was clothed in the photo at least for the most part" April said trying to see the bright side of the situation
"Good way to look at this" Paul smiled happily "Also you looked hot"
"Thanks Paul" April blushed slightly
"It's going to take a while to calm him down" Paul reminded her
"Yea I've gotten good at calming down" April smirked "I can handle it"
"Well damn" Paul laughed "Good for you and good luck tonight"
"Luck is for losers" she said smugly quoting her fiancé
"Amazing" Paul laughed and walked away
Punk watched April's match from the locker room and when she locked in the Black Widow he was in awe of her. She didn't let the previous segment bother her and she executed this move perfectly and honestly it was hot. He was now hoping she wasn't just kidding before when she offered to lock him into the sexy submission.
"Hey" April said out of breath as she entered the locker room "Still mad?"
"Yes" Punk said honestly "But you did great tonight"
"Thank you" April said happily "Did you like my move?"
"Loved it" Punk said still not being able to fully smile "You're going to practice on me right?"
"You think it needs practice?" April teased
"Yea I mean just a little" Punk said innocently
"Think I could make you tap?" April questioned
"I'll tap out willingly" Punk said seriously
"You don't need me to put you in a move to grab a hold of my ass" April smirked
"Is that an invitation?" Punk asked eyeing her
"How about we just get out of here" April suggested
"Out of all the times we don't take the bus" Punk muttered
"We're an hour from Chicago" April smirked "It would be pointless. Once we get to the hotel I'll lock you in"
"Maybe this night can be salvaged" he said seriously
"Fuck!" Punk yelled from behind the wheel. It was snowing like crazy and Punk couldn't see a thing
"We're definitely lost" April said to him
"How could you tell? I can't see a fucking thing!" Punk said furiously
"It's really bad we should pull over" April said to him
"And freeze to death? No thank you" Punk said as he kneeled over the wheel to try to look out the windshield
"We've been driving around for over an hour" April said to him
"I know April" Punk said harshly and sighed right after "Sorry"
"It's been a bad night I get it" April said to him
"And it's getting worse by the second" Punk said bitterly "At this rate we won't even make it into the next city in time for Smackdown tomorrow night"
"We'll make it but I really think you should pull over before we crash" April suggested "If you come across a hotel or something just pull in"
"All I see is white" remarked Punk shaking his head "I mean what kind of storm is this?"
"A snow storm" she answered quickly
"Wiseass" Punk mumbled under his breath.
Another half hour of driving Punk pulled into an empty mall parking lot after almost skidding off of the road.
"Are we really going to freeze to death?" April asked almost fearfully
"I'm not going to let you freeze" Punk promised trying to get a signal on his phone "But I do have to shut the car off for a little or we'll have no gas and we'll really be screwed"
"Does it look like it's letting up?" April asked peering out the window as Punk shut the car off
"No" Punk said honestly he glanced over to April and saw how scared she really looked "We're going to be fine" he smiled
"I've been homeless before" April reminded him "But that was in Tampa where it was always warm"
"I'm not going to let you freeze" Punk promised again "Stop thinking about it"
"I can't" April said biting on her nails
"Relax" Punk chuckled grabbing her hand "I've been traveling like this for years"
"No cell service, no heat and we're in an empty parking lot at almost one in the morning" April rambled "This is how those murder stories start"
"You're with me" Punk said smugly "No one is going to murder us"
"They'll go for you first" April said to him seriously "They'll take out the threat"
"Now it's more than one?" Punk asked playing along with her crazy imagination
"Probably" April said seriously "It could be a gang"
"And can I ask why there is a gang of murderers wandering around empty parking lots during a blizzard?" Punk questioned
"It's the perfect time duh!" April said to him "They're looking for people who couldn't drive around in the snow"
"And why are they going to kill us?" Punk asked
"Because it's what killers do" April reasoned then realized how silly she sounded "I guess I'm being a tad dramatic"
"Just a tad" Punk teased
"How many hours have we been without heat?" April asked him
"About six minutes" Punk said casually and watched as she nodded
"Ok that's not bad feels a lot longer" She said with a nervous laugh
"Are you ok?" Punk asked her
"Yea, yea" she said with a smile and a wave of her hand "Are you?"
"Hanging in there" Punk smirked
"Want to play a game?" April asked him
"Will playing a game make you feel better?" he asked and she nodded anxiously "Then hell yea I want to play a game!"
After an hour of twenty questions Punk was ready to beat his head against the steering wheel. He looked over and saw April shiver slightly and frowned. She was so tiny no wonder she had gotten so cold before he did. He pulled off his heavy jacket and handed it to her.
"You're going to freeze" April said seriously "Put it back on" she demanded
"I'm actually a little hot" Punk lied "You put it on" she refused and he just laid it over her "Your teeth are chattering just keep it on"
"When do you think we can leave?" April asked curling into his jacket
"It's letting up" Punk noted "Another hour or so"
"Another hour?" April asked
"I'll put the car back on and heat it up" Punk said reaching for the ignition
"No I don't want to waste gas" April said to him "It's fine"
"You're freezing" Punk noted
"I'll be ok" she promised "But I'm worried you're going to freeze"
"I'm cool" Punk said shooting her a wink. He then looked over and saw her pull off his jacket and then watched as she took her own jacket off now. "What are you doing?" he asked her alarmed "Seriously put it back on" he said handing her the jacket
"I have a way to keep us both warm" she said pulling off her shirt now "Take your clothes off" she ordered.
"Body heat" Punk grinned quickly pulling his own shirt off "Why didn't I think of that?"
"Because you were so concerned with keeping me warm and sane you forgot the most obvious thing" April said to him as she tugged down her sweat pants and watched as he worked on getting off his own jeans. "Meet me in the backseat" she smirked crawling into the back and he was now moving quicker to get his clothes off.
Punk crawled to the back and instantly became hard upon seeing April butt naked in the backseat waiting for him. Punk carefully crawled over her body that was lying across the backseat.
"I'm getting cold" April teased
"I'll take care of that" he promised and leaned down to kiss her passionately. She was shivering so she quickly wrapped her legs around his back and her arms around his neck so he was completely smothering her. Punk moved his hands up and down her arms in an attempt to heat her up. After kissing for over ten minutes their bodies started to heat up.
"I'm getting hot" April said pulling away from the kiss but Punk never broke contact from her face and began kissing her jaw line
"And wet" he added with a smirk feeling how moist her core was against him.
"Yea" April moaned as he began kissing that oh so very sweet spot on her neck. She arched into him and whined when he pulled out of her reach "Please?" she sighed grabbing his face and kissing his lips again.
"Are you ready?" Punk asked her resting his forehead against hers. She nodded and he positioned himself at her entrance and entered her slowly. They both slowly rocked against each other while keeping their eyes locked on each other.
"This is amazing" April moaned. The slow pace, the looks, the coldness now turning into heat- it was all perfect. And even though it was still snowing and they couldn't leave it provided a beautiful backdrop. It was like they were the only two people in the world.
"You're amazing" he corrected as his pace remained slow but his thrusts became harder.
"Oh Phil!" she cried throwing her head against the cushioned backseat. The only sounds to be heard was her moaning, his grunting and the sound of their skin slapping against each other.
As the time past and neither were sure how much time had elapsed but it was long enough to cause them to begin to sweat and the windows even began to steam up.
"Come on baby" Punk whispered into her ear
"I don't want to" April moaned "Too good" she managed to choke out. He had to speed this up a bit as his pace picked up and he reached in-between her thighs and began to massage her sensitive nub. "Oh! That's good too" he smiled against her cheek as he kept moving and moving until she finally let go. He followed a few short thrusts later and collapsed on top of her.
"Hot?" Punk asked her
"So hot" April smiled satisfied. "Let's stay like this forever"
"Aren't you still scared?" he teased
"No, not at all" she said happily "If we're going to be here a while we might have to go another round or two" she suggested running her hand down his naked chest. He opened his mouth to respond but a knock at the window halted him. "It's the killers" she whispered horrified. Punk reached over April's head and wiped the window to get a view of the intruder who had a flashlight
"Are you folks alright?" a security guard questioned
"Oh god" April muttered mortified
"You have a phone I can use?" Punk asked the man and he nodded
"Yea just-" the man stopped as he noticed April who was only covered by Punk's body.
"I'm up here" Punk said knocking out the window to get the man's attention
"Are you alright miss?" the guard asked still looking down at her
"Yes!" she shouted too mortified to turn and look at the man
"Over here" Punk said annoyed waving his hand "Yea give me a few minutes" he said to the guy who nodded. Before Punk climbed off of April he waited for the guard to turn around so he wouldn't see April naked. "You mind turning around?" he yelled through the window
"Oh! Right sorry" the guard said turning his back. Punk pulled off of AJ and reached for his jacket and wrapped it around her before getting his own clothes. They were both sitting up while Punk was concentrating on getting his jeans on.
"Phil" she whispered.
"Huh? What?" he asked trying to button his jeans
"He's looking" she hissed in a low voice and tightening Punk's jacket around herself "Are you sure he's not a killer?"
"No he's a security guard who can't keep his eyes off of a hot naked girl inside the car" Punk said glaring out the window towards the man. "I'm going to call the company and have them send us another car or something" he said to her "We'll be out of here in no time"
"Ok good" April smiled "Even though this was kind of fun" she admitted "Thank you for keeping me warm"
"Thank you for letting me" he said seriously eyeing her up
