Punk showed up at Jade's apartment using the key she gave him to let himself in. The moment he opened the door he was greeted by the familiar scent of her beef stroganoff. He headed for the kitchen seeing her adding the sour cream in leaning on the door frame.
"Hey babe."
"Hey you." She stayed focus on her cooking a few more minutes before walking past him a quick peck on the cheek before heading to the living room a puzzled look on his face. He turned looking at her before following her taking a seat on the arm of the chair she was in.
"What's wrong?"
"Who said there was?"
"Well normally you are almost jumping in my arms. This time I barely get a kiss, & you are in the chair instead of the couch were I can hold you better."
"We need to talk Phil. I would rather wait till after dinner though."
He rolled his eyes luckily he was above her line of sight so she did not see him. "OK you pulled the birth name, come on lay it on me babe. You know neither one of us will be able to enjoy that wonderful meal if you don't."
"Fine." she almost spit out the word before turning her focus up at him. "You seeing someone else?"
"What? Where that come from?"
"Things I have been told…so is it true?"
"Of course not." He went to place a hand under her jaw but she turned away standing to walk away. "Jade baby, you going to believe some rumor over your own boyfriend?" He tried to sound hurt. "Who told you this?"
"It doesn't matter…the thing is I was…I was sent proof."
"Proof what kind of proof."
Jade shook her head moving to her laptop opening it up. As it was booting up she went to the kitchen to stir the food & place it on a simmer. Coming back out she went into her email calling him over. He looked at the first couple almost shrugging. "Ok yes one of the nights out before Christmas I danced with Maria, that was all though just a few dances. You danced with a few of the guys when we have gone out." Jade leaned past him scrolling down more. "You call being nose to nose at a table like an Eskimo kiss 'dancing'?"
"It was mindless flirting Jade. She is in my past. You're my present & future." He turned to face her placing a hand on each of her hips. She was debating pulling away but stayed there with a sigh.
"The thing is when does it cross the line from just mindless flirting or goofing to something more?"
"I'm sorry baby I really am. Nothing happened ok. I promise you my girl."
She lightly nodded & at that point her took one hand from her hip taking her jaw before leaning in for a kiss. When their lips met she relaxed into it trying to push the imaged from her mind again. She believed him, she had to believe him. Who else would she have if not him?
After the kiss broke they went to snuggle on the couch till dinner was ready. That night they just spent it in each others arms sleeping. Punk was never quite sure why Jade seemed to help him sleep. Alone of the road he got very little sleep boarding on insomniac, even girls before her it was the same way. He would hate to loose that.

Jade was home watching Smackdown shaking her head at Punks antics while they had him add another saved soul. The odd part was this time it was a female. She knew it had to be a plant, what woman would willingly shave all her hair, just to pledge a straightedge life? She just sighed getting up to make some tea when her phone rang. She reached hitting her speaker.
"Hey babe."
"Hey Punkie…please tell me she was a plant from my father?"
He heard her laugh. "Yeah she was a plant. You really think I would pick an actual fan from the crowd?"
"With how my father is who knows. Just the fact is was a woman shocked me a bit."
"That was the point. So you making it on the road for Rumble right?"
"Yep I'll be there."
"Great your father has me on such a heavy house rotation with this new dose of heat & then things back in Chicago."
"I understand dear. It's only 9 days till Rumble I'll see you then."
"OK see you then Love ya babe."
"Love ya too."
She hung up the call making her tea before calling it a night.

Jade showed up at the hotel tracking Punk down. He was in the gym warming up with his kicks on the weighted bag being flanked on each side by one of his society members. She watched when he stopped Serena was over rubbing his back while Luke handing him his towel. She was trying not to read too much into Serena's body language when she decided to walk closer giving a cough. All three members stopped looking at her. She got a glare from Serena & Luke. Punk quickly changed his expression to a smile walking past them to her giving her a big hug. "Hey babe you made it."
"I told you I would." He gave her a big kiss before walking over to the other two. "Pleasure again Luke." She spoke with a smile even though he still looked displeased. She then looked to Serena. "I don't think we been introduced yet. Jade Lindsay" She extends a hand out to her. "Serena right?"
Serena tried to smile shaking the hand. "Right. A pleasure I'm sure."
"For you." Jade lightly laughs.
"Hun knock that off."
"Sorry Punk just a little fun." She turned her head kissing his cheek then rubbing her face from the feel of the facial hair. "You really need to grow it out so much?"
"Yeah they want some sort of mad prophet thing…you should really see how the chest is going." He laughed "At least I can save on razors." Jade lifted on her toes playfully taking the collar of his t-shirt pulling it a little.
"Damn becoming a Chewbacca there aren't you." He chuckled shaking his head as she let go of his shirt. She placed an arm around his waist leaning against him.
"I guess that just means I'll have to help clean you extra well after the rumble."
"Jade come on hun cut it out."
"OK OK….well you think I can steal you away for a couple hours before you need to go to the arena?"
"Yeah I think you can do that." He looked at Luke & Serena "See you guys around 5." With that he turned walking away with Jade heading for her room.
Serena glared with a scowl as they walked away that it was surprising Jade's hair didn't catch fire. Luke walked over touching her shoulder. "Relax, you don't want it too obvious do you?" She looked up at him shaking her head before they headed back to their room.
After the rumble match Jade was backstage waiting for Punk. She was shaking her head.
"What now?"
"They had you eliminate Beth, how much more heel can you get? Plus every time you were alone in the ring you spouting propaganda. Anyways lets make sure you didn't bust any teeth & check your back, Paul was a little brutal."
"A little?" He joked as they walked down the hall Serena & Luke following behind them. Once he was cleared they headed back for the hotel. Jade treated Punk to a pampering shower massaging all his over worked muscles.
They were relaxing in bed just trading kisses once in a while. "Just so you know Punk. I may need to take a business trip soon. I am looking at a few artist over seas."
"And as normal you want to meet them first hand."
"You know that is how I work."
"What about language issues?"
"If they don't speak English then I guess I will need an interpreter."
"When & for how long?"
"Neither has been determined yet. I'll make sure you know so you don't come home to an empty apartment."
"OK Babe. Good luck I know you were looking for some new blood for your business." He leaned over giving her a kiss before pulling her over to him where she leaned on his arm playing lightly with his chest hair. "So you like it yet?"
"I don't know. It can be a little scratchy."
"Aww I'll try to use conditioner on it & the beard." She laughed at him playfully hitting his arm.
"Night Punk."
"Night Jade." She closed her eyes a soft smile to her face.
