Chapter 3 – Meet CM Punk

The image of the dirty blonde diva going out with someone he barely knew had stuck in his head ever since that night. Brian couldn't help but to think about it. Could it be that Ashley was dating with the wrestler of extreme? And if so, for how long? There were so many questions dancing around in his head that he just needed to know.

He started to wonder if Ashley was going to appear for breakfast. Either she was still asleep in her room or she had forgotten about meeting them at the restaurant, which she never did before.

She looked so happy with him….

That thought of the beautiful dirty blonde with someone else made him feel a little down….

"Brian?"

"Yes?" Brian asked in a mindless manner.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Are you really really sure?"

"Yes Paul I'm fine. Why are you asking me this?"

"Oh I don't know…because you're pouring juice into your cornflakes?"

Brian blinked and looked down at this bowl and saw that his cornflakes were drenched with freshly squeezed orange juice. His eyes grew wider with confusement about it came out to be like this until Brian looked at the item he was holding in his hand at that point and discovered that it was his juice glass and not the milk jug.

"Oh crap!" said Brian and slapped his hand onto his forehead.

"Just as I thought," said Paul matter-of-factly. "That's why I asked."

Brian groaned and called for the waitress. The waitress came over to their table with a tray in her hand.

"Yes sir?"

"Can I get a next bowl of cornflakes please? I poured juice in it by accident."

The waitress looked at his bowl and chuckled. "Sure, no problem. Would you like a next refill as well?"

"Yes please. Thank you."

The waitress picked up the bowl of the 'orange soup' and the glass and placed it onto the tray and walked away.

"Well, that's an unusual start to the morning," said Paul. "I'm so glad I came with you."

"Shut up," said Brian and laughed. "I wasn't paying attention."

"Yeah, I notice. Something on your mind?"

"Well yeah kinda. It's about-"

"Good morning you two."

Brian stopped in the middle of his sentence when he heard a familiar voice that made his heart want to jump out of his chest. He could feel his cheeks tingling now…

"Morning Ash," Paul beamed.

"Good Morning," said Brian, flashing out a big grin.

Ashley gave them a kiss on the cheek, which made the blonde-haired superstar blushed when the tender lips touched his left cheek gently. Brian thought that he was lucky that he didn't topple off his chair the minute she had done so.

"Sorry I'm late," said Ashley. "I got back to the hotel later than I expected."

"That's okay," said Paul. "You must have had a lot of fun, right?"

"I sure did," Ashley grinned. "So what are you guys having?"

"Well for me, an omelette, a croissant, bacon and banana bread."

"Cool. And what you having Brian?

"Cornflakes. But I'm getting a next bowl….just had an accident a second ago, it's a long story."

Ashley raised a brow at him with perplexity. "Okay?"

"To make this story short he wasn't paying attention," said Paul.

"Uh huh right," said Ashley and chuckled. "Well I'm off to the buffet table."

"Oh wait before you go," said Brian. "What drinks do you want us to get?"

"I'll take an orange juice and a hot chocolate. Thanks."

"Sure."

Brian looked back as he watched her walking towards the buffet table. That smile on her face made his day. He could still see the dirty blonde curls swaying from side to side as she looked at the variety of choices that were offered at the long table.

"Brian?"

"Yeah?"

"Breakfast alert."

"Huh? Oh right." Brian beamed at the waitress when she came back with the orders. "Thank you very much. Can we get a hot chocolate and another glass of orange juice? There is a woman coming here to join us."

"Okay sure," said the waitress and left from the table. Brian turned back to his bowl once more.

"I hope you know what you're about to do now," said Paul and chuckled.

"I know Paul I know," said Brian and laughed as he reached for the milk jug and poured out the milk into the bowl and soon started to eat. Ashley returned to the table with her plate of food and got into her seat.

"So what's the plan for today?" Ashley asked as she started to cut her pancakes.

"Well we haven't really planned anything big," said Paul.

"We were thinking about hanging out by the pool," said Brian.

"Sounds relaxing," said Ashley.

"Yeah," Brian grinned. He couldn't help but notice how cute she looked by the way she was eating.

"So Ash, tell us. Were you on a date last night?"

That was the same question that Brian wanted to know for himself. He looked at her and waited for an answer.

"Yeah I was."

Instantly as she said it, the words became a hard blow to his heart. She was on a date after all. She had confirmed it. Brian could see himself sinking even lower than before.

"How do you know?" Ashley asked with her brow raised with wonderment at Paul.

"Maybe I'm psychic?"

Ashley scoffed in a playful manner. "Yeah right Paul. Come on how do you know?"

"We saw you at the parking lot after the show."

"Oh, did you?"

"Yes we did," Brian answered. He tried to shake off whatever feeling he had right now for another question he wanted to ask her. "Are you and CM Punk dating?"

Ashley flushed a bit and then a smile formed on her lips and nodded. "Yes."

Another hard blow…

"Excuse me Miss. I have drinks for you."

Ashley turned to the waitress and beamed. "Oh thank you."

"You're welcome," said the waitress and placed the drinks down on the table before leaving their table once more.

"So you guys are dating?" Paul asked. "That's an interesting bit of news."

Brian continued to eat his cereal in silence while Ashley giggled at Paul's answer.

"Well we're starting to anyway. Last night was our first."

"How was it?"

"It was a blast! We went to watch a movie…"

Brian listened as she went on about her first date. The thought of Ashley dating someone else had gotten into his head as he started to peel the aluminum foil off the little plastic bowl, containing the grape jelly.

What makes him so great? What does she see in him?

Wait a minute. Was he, Brian Kendrick jealous? Was he jealous of the superstar of extreme?

Maybe he was. He hadn't known CM Punk that well since they both work in different brands. But that doesn't mean that he wouldn't get to know him sooner or later.

"Hey B, you okay?"

Brian snapped himself out of his thoughts and turned to Ashley and smiled.

"Yeah of course, never been better."

Ashley and Paul exchanged looks with each other and then they turned back to Brian who was confused about what went on.

"What?"

"Do you like those eggs sweet or what?"

Brian looked at Paul and wondered if he was trying to be funny until he looked at his plate and his eyes opened up wide in astonishment. His toast was bare while his scrambled eggs had been topped off with grape jelly.

Paul laughed. "If that's how you wanted them, all you have to do is to ask either one of us to pass the sugar."

Brian slapped his hand to his forehead and groaned. "Oh geez…"

Ashley chuckled while he blushed with embarrassment after making such a fool out of himself. It seemed like his morning had not start off so well.

What to go. You've just made yourself look like an idiot in front of her….

---------------

Brian went up to the room to get his cell phone that he had forgotten on the bedside table. He slipped the small device into his pocket and headed for the door but then stopped to take a look at his reflection. He checked to make sure that he looked at his best before heading to town.

And of course, he wanted to look at his best for her.

"Alrighty then," said Brian and made a nod to himself in the mirror. "I'm ready to roll."

Brian left the room and locked the door behind him with a smile on his face. Ashley was going to hang out with him for the day. What could be better?

He walked through the corridor as he made his way to the elevator. As he got there, Brian stopped abruptly when heard someone calling him from behind and turned to see who it was. It was that same man who he saw with Ashley the other night at the parking lot. He wore black swimming trunks on and had a towel draped over his shoulder.

"You must be Brian," he said and held out his hand. "We meet at last."

Brian looked down at his hand and made a faked a smile for him and shook it firmly.

"So we have."

"I watched the tag match last night. You were awesome by the way."

"Thanks."

"Ashley has told all about you and Paul."

"Has she really?" Brian asked, a bit surprised to learn that she had done so.

"Yep," said the man and pushed a button. "She also told me that you three have been together for almost two years, am I right?"

"Oh yeah that's right," Brian said truthfully and grinned. As he thought about it for himself, he thought it was amazing about how much time that he had known Ashley. It seemed like it was only yesterday when she had entered into his life.

"Awesome. Well I'm heading out to the pool now so I'll catch ya later. Nice meeting you though."

"Yeah nice meeting you too."

"Tell Ashley I said hi." As he said this, a ping was sounded and the elevator opened.

"Sure thing," said Brian.

"Thanks dude, see ya."

The dark haired man stepped into the elevator and disappeared behind the closed doors. Brian's plastered smile dropped immediately and was replaced with a frown. He had just met CM Punk in person.

"Thanks dude," he mocked. "Whatever."
