The next morning Riley woke up in pure bliss. She could hardly believe that last night actually happened. She felt as if it was a dream and somehow she was going to wake up and be back into her nightmare. She looked over at Punk who was still sleeping peacefully she smiled and slipped out of bed heading into the bathroom. She decided to take a shower so she could be prepared for their flight.

About 15 minutes later Punk started to stir he rolled over to wrap his arm around Riley, but was surprised to find her side to be empty. He looked around the room and his eyes settled on the closed bathroom door he could see light seeping through the bottom of the door. He smiled knowing that she was behind it and hadn't skipped out on him.

He decided to get up and it would be his turn to surprise her with breakfast. He walked downstairs with just a pair of black gym shorts on. When he made it to the kitchen he started his preparations for his famous pancakes.

The front door opened and in walked Colt. "I swear you have a camera planted in here that tells you when I am preparing food."

Colt laughed and stated, "It's all pure instinct man." Punk shook his head while chuckling as he continued making his pancakes. "Pancakes huh? Must have been a good Colt free day yesterday."

Punk smirked, "Yeah it was."

Colt arched an eyebrow and stated, "Really man that's all you're gonna give me?"

Punk let out an inward groan and answered, "Yes that is all I am going to give you." He hated when Colt used slang and Colt knew it. "What else would you like anyways?"

Colt replied, "Come on throw a dog a bone…"

"Well that shouldn't be too hard to do, considering…" Riley smirked as Colt and Punk both looked her way coming down the stairs.

Colt remarked, "That's hilarious. You should really consider being a standup comic."

Riley walked over to Punk and smirked at Colt, "Only if you promise to be in my audience every night to provide me with the material needed." Punk couldn't help but crack up laughing. He enjoyed seeing this side of Riley he was sure he was getting a glimpse of what she used to be like before all that crap happened to her. "Need any help?"

Punk looked next to him and spoke, "Nope you just sit at the breakfast bar and let me serve you today." She smiled at him and started to move. "Wait." She stopped and looked up at him and he planted a quick kiss on her lips which caused a blush to spread through her body. He watched as she moved to the empty seat next to Colt. He also caught Colt's expression and it was questioning what just happened.

Colt stated, "Well now you don't have to throw me a bone I see things went rather well for the two of you."

Riley arched an eyebrow and questioned, "What are you referring to?"

Colt turned and gave her a puzzled look and answered, "To what just happened."

Riley glanced at Punk with a smile on her face. Punk smirked and then asked, "What just happened?"

Colt stated, "Ya know…that?"

Riley questioned, "What?"

Colt frustrated groaned, "The kiss."

Punk said, "Oh that. Why didn't you just say that," Colt groaned while Riley and he laughed.

After pancakes were made and served, Riley offered to help clean up, but Punk wouldn't let her do it on her own so they partnered in washing and drying. Colt just sat there observing the two of them. Punk stated, "You could offer to help."

Colt asked, "With what? There is only two tasks in which both of you are carrying them out great without my help." Colt looked up at the clock. "You two better get your butts into gear if I'm going to get you to the airport on time."

Punk checked the clock and knew that Colt was right. Riley and he went upstairs to pack and Riley walked into the guest bedroom packing up her things. Once Punk was all packed up he walked downstairs and noticed it was just Colt down there. He looked back up the stairs and went back up. He stopped outside of the guest bedroom and pushed the door open to see Riley just sitting on the bed. He knocked on the door frame. She looked up at him and he asked, "Everything alright in here?"

Riley had gotten lost in her own little world. She was pulled from it when she heard a knock on the door. She glanced up at Punk and nodded with a small smile on her expression. "Yeah just collecting my thoughts."

Punk walked closer to her and pulled her up from the bed so that he could hold her in his arms. "Are you sure?"

Riley smiled up at him and replied, "Yeah I am sure." She reached up on her tippy toes and pressed her lips softly against his.

There was a not so casual cough from the doorway "If you two keep this up you'll never make your flight on time."

Punk pulled back from Riley and looked over at Colt. He stated, "I'm a pro at making my flights we'll be fine."

Colt rolled his eyes and headed back downstairs as he mumbled, "Alright, Mr. I gotta be there two hours early."

Punk grabbed Riley's bags and they headed downstairs. Once they were loaded up in Colt's car they headed for the airport. After arriving Punk turned to Colt and asked, "Did you get what I asked you for?"

Colt smirked, "Of course I did." He handed over a package.

Punk smiled and said, "Thanks. We'll see you in a month."

Colt whispered, "She is coming back with you?"

Punk said, "I am hoping she will be." He patted Colt on the back and grabbed their bags so they could make their flight.

The flight was quiet and went by with no problems. They arrived in Toronto, Ontario and went to check into their hotel. Riley had been quite quiet, but Punk thought it was just jet lag she wasn't used to all the travelling. He knew it would take some time to get used to it. Once they were in his room he questioned, "Excited for tonight?"

Riley gave him a soft smile and spoke, "Yeah I am." She opened her mouth further like she was going to say something else, but closed it.

He arched an eyebrow and puzzled, "What?" Riley smiled and blushed at the same time that had to be Punk's favorite expression on her. It definitely made him crave more of her. He wondered how far the blush went down. He forced himself to stop thinking about that as he looked at her to urge her to answer him.

Riley asked, "What are the chances I could meet Edge tonight?"

Punk let out a laugh and questioned, "An Edge fan? Seriously? I never would have pegged you for that."

Riley shrugged and then stated, "Well not of wrestling, but I'm a huge Haven fan. Besides you're my favorite wrestler." Her smile broadened as her eyes connected with his.

Punk walked over to her until he was right in front of her. He kept his eyes firmly on hers. He smirked, "Well in that case I suppose I could seek him out so you could meet him." Her eyes lit up like Christmas bulbs on a tree. "I love seeing you so excited."

Riley spoke, "Thank you."

Punk gave her a small yet passionate kiss and said, "Anything for you." He paused for a moment and then added, "Oh I got something for you." He handed her the package that Colt had given him back in Chicago.

Riley took the package and eyed Punk before taking the box out of the bag. She was confused about what it was and questioned, "What's this?"

Punk remarked, "It's something that people use nowadays to talk, text, check emails, or play games on. I already downloaded my favorite game on there for you. Including adding my number to your contacts and giving me the number one speed dial."

Riley looked at him and replied, "Alright smart ass I know what this is. But why did you hand it to me."

Punk shrugged and spoke, "Because you needed one." He paused for a moment he didn't want her to fight with him on getting her this. "So just say thank you and leave at that please."

Riley softened her expression she felt like she was to lucky having him be not only her knight in shining armor but being so nice to her. It was all so surreal. She smiled and said, "Thank you." She turned on the phone and checked out the background he gave her which was a picture of him. She softly chuckled and then spotted the game he added. She puzzled, "Words with Friends?"

Punk responded while looking smug, "I'm just curious if you can dare to give me a challenge."

Riley chuckled, "You're so on." Punk smiled happy that she was happy.

They spent the afternoon in just relaxing in the hotel until Punk needed to go down and get a workout in. Punk asked, "Hey I got to go hit the gym want to come?" Riley smiled and was pleased he wanted her to join him. She nodded and held open the door for her to come with him.

Once they stepped foot into the gym he left her to go lift some weights while Riley just decided to hit the treadmill. The hot tub looked inviting, but that would require her to show some skin and she was still freshly marked. She didn't want anyone to see them especially Punk.

She had gotten caught up in her own world when she noticed someone had joined her. She turned and looked over at the person. She quirked an eyebrow and asked, "Isn't the treadmill a bit tame for you?"

The person laughed, "It's a good cool down. Are you here with Punk?"

Riley eyed him and remarked, "I didn't peg you for being a part of the gossip circle."

"Punk and I are friends."

Riley said, "If that's the case than you already know the answer to that."

He laughed, "Damn you are spunky."

Riley smirked, "I'll take that as a compliment."

He spoke, "Please do." He then extended his right hand to her and introduced himself, "Seth."

Riley remarked, "I know who you are." She then shook his hand and added, "Riley, nice to meet you."

Punk walked over and questioned, "You're not trying to hit on my girlfriend are you Rollins?"

Seth laughed, "No, of course not. Though if you ever get tired of him…" He let his voice trail off.

Riley stated, "The only thing I'd come to you for over Punk is highlighting tips." Riley hopped off the treadmill as did Seth.

Both boys laughed Punk remarked, "Riley 1 and Seth 0."

Seth narrowed his eyes at her and then a smile took over his expression. "This is only the beginning."

Riley questioned, "Of me out witting you? Better believe it."

Seth shook his head and laughed, "See you two tonight."

Punk looked at Riley and said, "You amaze me."

Riley looked at him with a puzzled expression, "Why?"

Punk shrugged and said, "You just do." He gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Come on I need to shower before we head to the arena."

Later that day they arrived at the arena. Riley hung out with Punk in his locker room. He had a meeting he needed to go to, but he didn't want to leave Riley alone. She finally convinced him she would be fine she would just hang out there until he came back.

On his way to his meeting he came across Cena he walked passed him and then Cena said, "Okay hold up."

Punk groaned and asked, "What?"

Cena stated, "I just have to wonder how you could walk pass me with a slight smile on your face and no remark whatsoever."

Punk eyed him and knew he was not going to let this go so he answered, "You want the answer go visit my locker room." Then Punk turned to continue on his way.

Cena smirked and proceeded to do what Punk suggested he do. He knocked on the locker room door and then stepped into the room. He smiled seeing her camped out on the couch reading a comic book. He questioned, "One of your own or one of Punk's stash?"

Riley looked up from her book and smiled seeing who entered the room. She was so engrossed in her comic she didn't even hear him knock. She placed the comic down and spoke, "One of my own."

Cena remarked, "Just another thing you two have in common." She smiled. "How are things with you and Punk?" A blush crept up on her face he smiled, "So that well."

She said, "He has shown me that not all men are the same."

Cena let out a whistle and replied, "I'm not sure how I feel about Punk being the one to prove to you we're all not the same." Riley smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "Okay what's up?"

Riley looked at him and was a bit confused when she puzzled, "What?"

Cena sat down across from her and said, "I have spent many moments with both Bellas. I know when a woman is smiling on the outside, but not smiling on the inside."

Riley stared at him for a few moments and then sighed, "Things are great, but in my life they don't stay great. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. For Punk to realize I come with too much baggage or that I'm too damaged."

Cena spoke, "You're not damaged Riley, you've been through hell and back and you have some emotional and physical scars to go with that experience. But you kept fighting and you didn't give up. Do you have baggage? Yes, but who doesn't." He paused for a moment before adding. "Let me leave you with one thought. Punk has never walked by me in the halls with a smile on his face and not have some remark to say to me."

Riley arched an eyebrow and asked, "So did he do that tonight?"

Cena nodded and responded, "Can you guess who put him in a good mood?"

Riley blushed again as Punk walked into the locker room. He eyed the two of them and stated, "You know I don't think I like the fact you're blushing with Cena in the room."

Cena laughed, "She's only blushing because of a comment I made about you. The effect you have on her. See you out there. Good seeing you Riley. Tomorrow morning brunch I'm not taking no for an answer."

Punk said, "Yeah we'll see you then." Once Cena was gone he looked at Riley and questioned, "So what comment made you blush?"

Riley remarked, "The fact that you walked through the halls with a smile on your face and no smart ass remark towards John."

Punk puzzled, "What about it?"

Riley replied, "John seems to think I had something to do with that."

Punk asked, "What do you think?"

Riley shrugged and spoke, "I think maybe I do."

Punk walked over to her and pulled her up into his arms and spoke, "I think it's more than maybe."

Riley asked, "Yeah?"

Punk smiled and said, "Yeah." He leaned down and pressed his lips to hers as she wrapped her arms around his neck to pull herself closer to him. They kissed until there was a knock at the door. Punk yelled, "Go away!"

The person still came in and stated, "Geez Cena told me with her in here you would be less irritable."

Riley pulled away from Punk so fast and her face beamed. Punk groaned as he turned and looked at the man he would have rather have steered away from tonight. He stated, "When I said come meet her later. I meant later. Not now and not especially when I yelled go away."

He ignored Punk and extended his hand out to Riley and spoke, "You must be Riley. I'm Adam."

Riley smiled and said, "Nice to meet you I'm a big fan of Haven. I really have never seen you wrestle your time was before I started watching."

Adam replied, "That is quite alright. I love meeting fans period."

Punk eyed the two of them but mostly Adam and injected himself into the conversation, "I'm her favorite wrestler."

Adam looked over at Punk and remarked, "You don't have to mark your territory Punk. I am happily taken."

Punk smiled and wrapped an arm around Riley's waist as he questioned, "How is Amy?"

Adam answered, "She's good and she is going to be shocked to hear that you have a girlfriend and are less irritable."

Punk laughed, "I'm sure she will. So shall I take your picture with him?"

Riley nodded her head yes and spoke, "Yes as long as you don't mind?"

Adam spoke, "Not at all."

After the show was over Punk and Riley were heading out of the arena when they were approached by The Shield. Seth asked, "Want to go out with us tonight and celebrate?"

Punk answered, "I think I would rather celebrate alone in my hotel room with Riley."

Dean questioned, "What if Riley wants to celebrate with us?"

Riley spoke, "I don't"

Seth asked, "What's with the cold shoulder."

Punk chuckled, "She is a fan of Adam's."

Dean said, "Seriously? I thought you had better taste than that. But of course you are with Punk."

Riley narrowed her eyes at him and Punk replied, "I agree with you on the Adam thing, but on myself."

Dean laughed and spoke, "Maybe we'll try to overlook your poor choices."

Riley stated, "Don't make it hard on yourself on my account. If you can't get passed my poor choices than let's just not even associate with another. I would hate to be the undoing of you."

Dean chuckled, "Oh sweetheart I think you got that the other way around."

Riley rolled her eyes and looked at Punk, "Can we go celebrate." She looked at the three members of The Shield, "Alone in our hotel room."

Seth shook his head and said, "Party pooper."

Punk and Riley went back to the hotel and Punk went to take a shower first. He came out seeing Riley out on the balcony. He walked out to join her and asked, "What's on your mind?"

Riley pondered her thoughts and then decided to tell him what she told Cena. "I told John earlier that I was worried the other shoe was going to drop with you. That I come with too much baggage and that I'm also damaged."

Punk didn't say anything for several moments. He placed his hand on the side of her face and made her look at him. He spoke softly, "First off I have a lot of baggage too that you're going to encounter if I don't scare you off soon and secondly you are far from damaged. Your beauty radiates on the inside and the outside. The other shoe isn't going to drop. I'm not letting you go and I'm not running. The only way this would stop working with you and I is if you decide for it to end."

Riley felt tears fall down her cheek, "I'm not going to run from you."

Punk replied, "I'm not going to run either." Punk leaned forward and kissed her lips for a few moments and then said, "The next time something is bothering you just tell me instead of talking with it to Cena first please." She smiled and the smile turned into a smirk. "What?"

Riley stated, "I also told him that you were the one showing me that all men aren't the same. He didn't seem too keen on the fact that it was you proving to me that all men aren't the same."

Punk laughed and then replied, "I am glad that you told him that. I am going to have so much fun at brunch tomorrow with him. Speaking of that let's get some sleep."
