Chapter Five - Tough Training
7.04 am, I groaned. I hate early morning sessions. I practically fell out of bed and dragged myself to my gym bag and struggled to get dressed, black gym shorts and a Nike singlet would have to do. I threw my hair in a ponytail and chucked on my aviators and made my way down to the gym. "Morning bright eyes!" Called Daniel from the middle of the ring, he was already stretching and running the ropes, I grunted back, knowing I'm not a morning person he laughed and continued running around. I sat on the apron halfway through putting on my first brand new boot when Punk made his appearance, he seemed to have the same attitude about the morning, he made his way over to me and threw his gym bag down next to mine, grabbed my leg and pushed my knee pad up my leg, before I could protest he shushed me "By the time your ready it will be Christmas." He rested my foot against his thigh while I laced up my other boot, his hands were soft while he positioned my knee pad in the right place as his fingers rested near the bottom of my thigh, he pushed my foot into the boot and deftly laced it up as I pulled on my kick pad, we locked eyes as he placed the kick pad over my boot, one hand was place on my thigh and the other my calf as he wiggled the boots to make sure they were stable without breaking eye contact, "Are you ladies ready or not?" called Daniel from the ring, I snapped back into reality before my mind or my body did something I would regret, I shook my head and jumped up on the apron and made my way into the center of the ring, "Calm down DB, I know your desperate to get your ass handed to you by a teenage girl." I gave a quick look over my shoulder to check on Punk; he was still standing there staring at me.
Luckily breakfast wasn't as awkward as I thought it would have been, I shouted the boys for two reasons; I had lost a bet and a thank you for helping me with technique, we chatted about the upcoming pay-per-view, discussing what we think will happen, how we would book it and joked about how you never know what's gong to happen until your just about to go out. Out the corner of my eye I spotted Wade and some of the boys making their way to the gym, I jumped out my chair to greet them, "I'll meet you at the gym." Called Wade to the group of guys, he smiled and looked down at me "Hey you, how was your training?" I shrugged "We worked hard so I definitely need a snooze." Wade grabbed my hand and laughed "I'm actually really glad I ran into you, I was going to text you while I was at the gym. I'm going to cash in my second date clause." I chuckled and joked "I don't remember signing a contract but in your case, your on!" He wiped his hand over his forehead in a sign of relief and laughed, "Good because there are a few bands playing a bar close to stadium I thought we could try and see the rest of it after we are finished with the show." I stood on my tip toes and gave him a quick kiss goodbye, "See you then." We parted ways and I returned to my seat, Daniel gave me a nudge with his elbow, "Another date with Wade hey?" I smiled at his reaction and looked to Punk to see if he had anything to add but he had crossed his arms put on his sunglasses and was too interested in whatever was on his phone to respond.
"Hey who are you texting?" nudged Scott. We were sitting in the hallway at the America Airlines center in Dallas as Friday night Smackdown was being filmed, I had a match, 3 on 3 tag match with Layla and Kaitlyn against Alicia, Beth and Natalya; I had just found out we had a 3 minute slot and didn't get a finish because a new group would interrupt our match, Great. Scott was doing his best to cheer me up but my phone was occupying my attention. My whole day was spent dividing my time between gym and texting both Wade and Punk; Wade and I were working out the details of our date and Punk had texted me a few hours after his slight temper tantrum to ask about a comic book. "Your mum, she wants to know what time I'll be over." I laughed, "So, when were you going to tell me you went on a date with Barrett?" he asked, I started fiddling with my hoodie in my lap, "It's not really common knowledge that we went out." Scott scoffed "As if you wouldn't tell me," he crossed his arms and pouted, "So did you kiss him?" he smiled childishly at me, "Yeah she did" said another voice approaching us, Punk sat down next to me and continued to tape his wrists and without looking up he added, "They are going out tonight too." Scott nearly had a conniption, he started babbling about dating but I had tuned out again, Punk had handed me a black marker so I placed his left hand in my right and carefully drew an X, I peaked up through my hair to see him looking down at me, I carefully grabbed his right hand and moved it across his body to me as I leaned in closer my shoulder resting against his chest as I drew the last X hoping to savior every moment, we locked eyes both in our own little world as if nothing else existed. I reluctantly let go of his hand and gave back his marker before giving him a small smile and went back to giving Scott my full attention, "… and that's how babies are made and diseases are caught. Do you get me?" Scott asked turning to stare at me intently waiting for my answer, Here is my escape before my head explodes, I jumped up and gave my best salute "Sir, yes, Sir. I gotta go guys, I'm on in ten." I hugged my gear to my chest and made my way towards the ring.
