So I've been writing all evening and I can't resist posting more...I know it'll be appreciated and things are starting to hear up :) I liked writing this part because I am not a Beth Pheonix fan, so if I can be mean about her, I take the chance haha I give her props, she's one of the better female wrestlers, but her gimmick (ding, glam slam, ding) annoys the hell out of me, so I thought I'd bury her a bit...don't hate me too much for it ;) Thanks again for all the reviews, love reading them and it pushed me to write a lot today, so be on the lookout :)
This is brief, but it pushes the story along...Enjoy!
The rest of the week seemed to move right along uneventfully, so when Wednesday came around, Punk was more then ready to head home; especially seeing he knew Gabby would be there waiting for him. His happy thoughts were short lived though as a thunderstorm got in the way of his plans forcing him to spend the evening at the airport. Sitting in the Miami airport, he put his head phones in and hoped to squeeze onto the red eye. Even though he tried not to show how pissed off and disappointed he was, it was pretty obvious to everyone around him; one person in particular.
Beth walked up to the ticket counter and talked to the customer service rep to make sure her flight to Buffalo was still a go; she was anxious to get home, not only because she had a schedule to keep, but there was a certain someone waiting for her. On her way back to her bags, she noticed Punk sitting alone with his arms folded looking disappointed. She knew that look, she'd put it on his face many times during their short lived romance, but she'd also noticed it had been replaced with a smile over the past week and even though he was trying to keep his relationship under wraps, she knew what was going on. Hesitating for a minute, she decided to talk to him, or at least attempt to; their relationship hadn't faired well since their break-up especially once he went on the radio and referred to her as a douche bag. Granted did she act like a mega bitch to him once the Diva's Championship was in her grasp, yes, but it still gave him no right to blast her on the radio.
Punk was messing with his iPod and checking his texts when he noticed Beth take a seat next to him. At first he thought about just leaving his headphones on and not giving her the time of day, but something told him he'd be amused by the conversation and at this point he'd take amusement anyway he could get it; spending eight hours in the airport can do that to a person. Removing his headphones, he turned to her raising an eyebrow.
"Can I help you with something? Are you lost?"
"No I'm not, but you look lost. I've seen that look before; why so down?"
"I don't know I've just spent eight hours in an airport trying to get home…you do the math! Last time I checked spending eight hours in an airport could put anyone in a bad mood. Besides that you know me, I'm always pissed off."
"Well I've noticed you haven't been pissed off at all this week and I think I know the reason why."
"What I can't just have a week of feeling happy?"
"I'm not saying that, but you've been abnormally happy. Does Gabby have anything to do with that happiness?" Punk stopped for a minute suddenly feeling his mouth go dry.
"Why…what…you're ridiculous you know that! Gabby and I are just friends, granted will I be happy to see her and hang out if I ever make it home, yeah, but you're making it sound like something that it isn't. I'm not hooking up with Gabby like you're hooking up with Adam!" Beth's eyes went wide and her mouth dropped open; no one knew about their relationship, they'd been together for months and had managed to keep it under wraps so how the hell did Phil Brooks know?
"What…how…" Beth stuttered unable to form a sentence getting a smirk from Punk.
"I have my ways Beth, but don't worry despite the fact that you can't stand me your secret is safe with me…oh and Kofi but only because he guessed when I said Gabby and I saw you two having dinner."
"Ah ha! So you are with Gabby! You don't take roommates out to dinner and Adam told me about international night. I was suspicious then, but you've just confirmed it."
"Really Beth? Two adults, a male and a female, can't go out to dinner together as just friends? You're pretty ridiculous coming up with these delusions in your head! As far as international night it's just something nerdy we do, hell we also have movie nights, guess that makes us a couple too right? Anyway I'm done talking, so if you'll just go back to where your nosey ass came from I've got other business to tend to." With that Punk put his headphones back on turning up the volume. Beth scowled at him clearly irritated by his behavior. She knew there was something going on with Gabby and she was going to find out.
When Punk was sure she had walked away and wasn't returning, he let out a sigh hoping that he had convinced her she was wrong. It probably wasn't the best idea to blurt out that he knew about her and Adam, but it caught her off guard and made it easier to twist her words and thoughts. Grabbing his phone he sent a text to Gabby: I'm not sure how much longer we can keep our little secret to ourselves…
