A/N: Thanks for the reviews guys….they are what make me want to keep writing.
Mickie sat watching TV on Phil's bed. She had gone to his room to see if he wanted to hang out. He had shocked her with the news that he was going to be taking Maryse out later that night. He told her to hang in his room until he got ready so she plopped down on his bed and turned on the TV.
She glanced up from the TV when she saw him stepping out of the bathroom. "I can't believe you're taking Maryse out on a date."
"Why not? She really isn't as bad as you claim she is. She was actually nice when I talked to her on Sunday." He dug through his suitcase looking for a shirt.
"She's just being nice because she wants to get into your pants."
"And for some reason I don't have a problem with that." He grinned
She rolled her eyes. "You are such a guy."
"Is that what me having a penis means?"
She laughed and chucked a pillow at his head but he dodged it.
"Seriously Phil just be careful. Maryse isn't the kind of girl that gets into serious relationships."
"Who said anything about a serious relationship? It's just a date. I hadn't even talked to her before Sunday."
"I know but Maryse can make a lot of guys fall under her spell and they don't realize that's she's cold and calculating. I just don't want to see you get hurt."
"Mickie relax I'll be fine." He looked at the clock on the night stand. "I actually have to go pick up Maryse so I'll talk to you later okay?"
"Okay I'll call you tomorrow and see how it went."

Phil frowned when he looked at the board showing the movie times. The movie they were going to see was sold out.
"Umm is there another movie you want to see?" he asked her
"Not really."
Great….so much for a movie and dinner. "Okay I guess we can just go have dinner then."
"Well since we're not seeing a movie, I know this nice little restaurant that I went to last time we were here. We could go back to the hotel and change."
"You mean it's one of those formal restaurants?"
Maryse nodded.
"Oh….well I'm pretty sure I don't have anything to wear for that. I'm not a big fan of dressing up. Anyway I don't see the point in some overpriced place when I know great places that have better food. I know this really great diner."
She grimaced. A diner?
He laughed "I swear the food is great."
It's not like she had a choice so she agreed. She wouldn't even think about eating half the things that were on the menu. You did not keep a figure like she had by eating a bunch of crappy greasy food.
"What are you ordering?" he asked her
"I don't know… I guess a salad."
"Oh come on haven't you ever heard of a cheat day?"
"A what?"
"A day when you say fuck it to eating healthy and you just eat whatever the hell you want."
Well it wouldn't hurt would it? She decided to skip the salad and got a Turkey sandwich and small fries instead. She watched as Phil bit into the biggest burger she had seen in her life.
She stared down at her sandwich. It looked edible even though she wondered if this place would even pass a health inspection. She picked up a fry and took a cautious bite. It actually was really good.
Phil reached for the ketchup but his arm ended up bumping into her drink and it spilled onto her.
She squealed and jumped from her seat.
"Oh shit Maryse I'm so sorry!" He grabbed napkins from the table and handed them to her.
"It's fine." She ground out through gritted teeth even though she was seething. This was one of her favorite dresses and she knew that it was ruined now.
Phil continued to apologize profusely.
"Look I just want to go back to the hotel and get out of this dress. Can we go?"
"Yea let me just pay the bill."
He reached into his pocket and cursed.
"What now?"
"Ummm…" he rubbed his neck in embarrassment. "I forgot my wallet…"
She sighed in annoyance and pulled out some cash from her purse.
"I'll pay you back I swear."
She didn't bother saying anything back. She just wanted to go back to the hotel. Of course things only got worse when they stepped out of the restaurant.
They had walked a few steps when it started pouring. They were both drenched in rain after just a few seconds.
"Do you want to go back into the diner and wait till the rains stops?" he asked
"It doesn't matter we're already soaked."
She didn't say a word to him in the taxi or even when he walked her back to her room. She slammed her hotel room door behind her, not even bothering to hide how angry she was.
Yes her and Punk seemed like they were complete opposites but she'd enjoyed talking to him before and she didn't think their date would have turned out this bad.
They didn't get to see the movie, her dress and makeup were ruined and she'd even had to pay for not only herself but for him.
She was starting to think the money and the bet weren't worth it.
Brie looked up from the magazine she was reading when she saw her walk in.
"What happened to you?" she laughed.
Maryse just glared at her and went into the bathroom.
Outside the room Phil was mentally beating himself up. He knew that he had blown whatever chance he had with Maryse.
