I moved the camera a little bit, so Phil and I were in the frame a little better. I put on the fakest, cheesiest smile I can imagine.
"Cole! It's so lovely to see you again! So sad that you're so far away," I said, with a pout. Michael Cole laughed. I grinned down at him.
"Haha, well you could be here, if you weren't too busy shacking it up with Punk. Speaking of, how did you manage to stay out of the public eye this long?" Cole asked. I felt my face turning red. I didn't want to answer that. I felt Punk's grip on my shoulder tighten a little.
"Cole, that is NONE of your business. How did you find out?" he said, sounding a bit more than pissed off.
Michael just laughed. "Roll the clip." I quickly turned on the TV and saw Phil coming into our hotel room from a few weeks ago, when I pulled him in, kissing him. My jaw dropped. I didn't even know there was a camera guy down the hallway.
"So, this is more scandalous then when Aj was sneaking into Cena's room," I heard Jerry Lawler say. I turned around, my face full of anger.
"Look. I have no idea how you got that or who shot that, but our love life is NONE of your business. Not yours, Cole, or the WWE Universe! You can all butt out! I'm done. I'm out of this!" I shut my laptop, taking the webcam and throwing it. Phil started pacing around the room, head down, breathing heavily. I stood there looking at him, wondering what we're going to do.
"On the bright side, Flair didn't mean for it to leak like it did,"I said with a half smile. He stopped pacing, and glared at me.
"Jeezus Elizabeth! He's the whole reason why we have to have two seperate weddings! Because of him, the whole fucking WWE Universe knows!"
I flinched at his sudden outburst, and stormed out of the office. I won't let him talk to me like that. I made my way to our bedroom, slamming the door behind me. He's so frustrating! I started to pace, and grab one of the pillows on the bed, throwing it agasint the wall. He's so infuriating! And I'm getting married to him! I can't believe him! I sit on the bed, and lean back. I should just call it all off right now. 'Think about it Elizabeth', I think to myself. 'He wants you out of the public eye, away from the paps, all for himself.' I shook my head, clearing my thoughts.
"No! I can't, I'm his manager. I'll be in the public eye anyways!" I said out loud, throwing another pillow. Finally, I slumped down against the bed and pulled my legs into my chest, burying my head into my knees. I can't do this. I'm becoming as emotional as Aj when someone calls her crazy. It's whatever. Sighing, I got back up and slowly walked to the door. Phil was on the otherside. He looks sheepishly at me, leaning agasint the doorway.
"I'm...sorry. I shouldn't have flipped out on you like that," He said, sighing. He looked down, then back up at me. "I love you."
I smiled a little bit, then hugged him. No matter how much we have faught or will fight, that simple "I love you" can make me forget why I'm mad at him in the first place. It's only three little words, but they mean so much coming from him. I can't imagine my life without him. He's my everything, and I'm his. It shouldn't matter that I'm a manager. Who knows ? Maybe I'll end up being the next general manager for RAW, with him at my side. We could totally take on the WWE. I grin at him, "I love you too. Can we...just go to bed? I'm tired, it's been a long day." He nodded, taking my hand and leading me to the bed. After a few moments,we both drifted off to sleep.
"Why did you move?" I hear his sleepy voice say. I dropped my pillow as I let out a gasp. I hate it when he does that. It's been weird sleeping by myself for the past few weeks, and I missed being next to him, but after a while, I got used to being in this big bed by myself.
"I could stay like this forever. No work, just you and me, and this damn comfy bed!" He said, laughing.
I giggled. "That'd be perfect, but we have guests coming. My mom and dad are coming. And Andi, and my brother. Oh! And my aunt and uncle, and my two cousins, and a few other people..." I started to trail off, suddenly freaking out that there were people coming to my house, for the first time since I moved out. Even when I was dating Danny, we never had my family over. I heard Phil chuckle. "Then you missy, need to get out of bed! You, Mrs. Jones and Julia have a lot to do before they get here!" I got up and threw my pillow, sticking my tongue out at him.
"BITE ME!" I yelled, getting up. I felt his hand around my arm, pulling me back down so I'm laying down next to him. He gently nuzzled my neck. "Or we could call off this whole Christmas thing, and stay here. Then I could really show you some love bites." He grinned. I grinned back, tracing his tattoos with my fingers. I felt him shiver under my touch, and watched goose bumps start to form on his arms. Soon we heard the footsteps of our housekeepr, Mrs. Jones. She knocked quietly, and asked if we are awake, letting us know that breakfast is ready.
"She's always looking out for us, isn't she? We should do something special for her. I already got her a present..." I started to think.
"Send her on vacation for a couple of weeks. To like, Cuba or something," Phil said. I nodded my head in agreement.
"Good. We'll tell her when we have our get together, while we're opening gifts."
I crawled out of bed reluctantly, and Phil followed behind.
Mrs. Jones had breakfast for the three of us. Nothing much. Just oatmeal with fruit. There's a lot to be done in such a short amount of time. It's going to be a long couple of weeks, but Phil is home, so I won't have to worry too much, even if he is only home for a couple of days. I heard the tea pot whistle and put in some tea to steep. I heard Phil jump down the steps, at least two at a time. I grinned when I saw him, still in his gray sweats that hang so sexily off his hips. He greeted me with a hug and kissed the top of my head. I leaned into him, putting my arms around his waist and leaned my head on his chest. We stayed like this until Mrs. Jones cleared her throat. I blushed and saw him grin as we sat down.
"So, Philip, how long will you be home this time? I hope long enough to take your future wife to do some invitaion shopping," Mrs. Jones said. I smiled at her, mouthing thank you, then got back to my breakfast. I lookedover at Phil and saw him choke a little on his food. He looked at me.
"You haven't done that yet?" He asks.
I took a sip of my tea and shrugged. "No. I can't do it by myself. If I do, then I'll turn into the bride from hell!"
I looked over at him, watching his reaction. "What about the cleaning, the wrapping the gifts, the baking and the cooking?"
Mrs. Jones and I laughed. "We don't have to do that until you and I come back from wherever it is you're going."
Phil's face turned red as he pondered over his oatmeal. Finally, I saw him give in.
"Fine! We'll go after we've showered. Now let me eat, woman!" He grinned. I laughed with him as we finished our breakfast.
I lean into Phil, as the hot water cascaded over us. He can't keep his hands off me, as he put them on my hips, my sides, my shouders, whever he could get his hands on me. I'd giggle and moan, as his hands wandered my body. I leaned against his chest and grabbed his arms, putting them around me, his hands finally laying flat on my stomach. I smiled, then rubbed my ass against him, feeling him get hard. He let out a groan as his hands moved to my breasts, cupping them. I bit my lower lip and looked up at him.
"You keep doing that, we'll be staying here all day," he groaned. He moved his hands to my nipples, pinching ,and twisting them, making me moan softly. I wiggled a little more against him, then he pushed me so I'm facing the wall, and I felt him slap my ass, making me giggle. After a few more slaps, he pushed his way inside me. I gasped and moaned, pushing myself back into him. Phil moved his hands down to my hips and grabbed them firmly. He began to move in and out, faster and faster, his hips hitting mine. I let out a loud moan and begged him not to stop. He let out a groan and pushed in deep. Soon we both found our release, and collasped in the tub, his arms around me.
After we got dressed and ready, Phil and I left the house. We tried to find the closest and smallest wedding store in Chicago. Once we found one, and got there, we realized we should have called to have them shut down for the day. I was getting death glares from fangirls, and fanboys alike.
"Can we please just come back tomorrow?" I asked him whining.
He shook his head, laughing lightly. "Oh no baby! You were the one dead set on getting this done today, so we're doing it."
I groaned and rolled my eyes at him. He smiled his playful smile before taking my hand in his and intertwining our fingers. I leaned up and kissed him, trying to ignore the looks.
"Fine, let's...just get this over with. The fans are making me nervous."
A few hours later, we were finally done, having picked out light pink invites with red trim, that said:
"Philip Jack Brooks
and
Elizabeth Marie Snyder
Cordially invite you to participate
In the wedding of the year!"
They turned out wonderfully, and we'll be getting them in a couple of weeks, just in time for fake wedding. The real invites were sent out weeks ago, the last time he was home. I'm excited that he's staying home longer this time. I love it when Vince is feeling generous. And, well, he has to stay home. My family is coming over, for our very late Christmas. And I don't want him to miss out. This will be the first time we'll have anything like this together.
We finally made it back home. I couldn't believe how long we were gone! Punk came up behind me, putting his arms around my waist, and nuzzled my neck. I giggled and pushed him off, as the bags I was holding fell off my arms.
"Phil! You're going to make me break something!" I teased, as I turned around in his arms. His grip on me tightend as he kissed my cheek. I pushed him off, then walk off toward the bedroom.
"You can't leave a man like that all high and dry!" he said as he gently grabbed my arm. I turned around, and leaned up to kiss him.
"Save that for later. I've got a big family event to plan for! Unless you want to help, or something, get out of my way," I said. He smiled and lets go, putting his hands up defeated. I smiled, then walk up the stairs.
Julia and I got the house ready, running around making sure everything is perfect. I heard Phil laugh at me when I went into the living room and began setting up the lights around the TV. He laughed when I drop them, laughing when I tripped over myslef. I just sent an evil glare his way. He laughed even harder. Ugh! This man! I shook my head as I went to the side of his chair, and knocked it back. His laughter stopped when it turned into a groan of annoyance. I giggled, kicked the chair, and kept walking. I made my way to the kitchen, starting the oven for a vigerous amount of baking, roasting, broiling, and all amounts of stuff to make my oversized kitchen hot and sticky.
I finally finished the last batch of cookies and pies, when there's a knock at the door.
"I've got it!" Phil said. "NO! NO! Back! they don't know you're home!" I yelled from the kitchen, then ran out. He chuckled and retreated to the back of the house. The first to show up was my mom and dad with Andi and my brother Jake. I smiled as I pulled them in, hugging them all. Soon after them, there was another knock at the door. I opened it to find the rest of my family as well as Phil's. I smiled and hugged them all, ushering them inside. They all piled into the living room, admiring the decorations. I smiled as I listened to them talk, and introduce themselves to one another. Jake hurried over into the kitchen.
"Sis, this is seriously the best ever!" He says scooping some icing from a cake. I throw my towel at him, laughing. Soon, I heard another chuckle behind me.
"You two make me laugh." Phil said. I rolled my eyes. He's leaning against the doorway, with his arms crossed. Jake's face lit up.
"You can't be serious! Why is he standing in the kitchen?" Jake asks.
I look at my brother like he's lost it. "Umm...he's my fiance?"
Jake looked like he was about to go all fanboy on me. "Wait, Andi didnt' say anything about him. She just said that you had a boyfriend in the WWE! She didn't say him!"
Andi walked in. "I heard my name!" She smiled as she walked in and hugged Phil. He embraced her and ruffled her hair.
"Good to see ya kid. Tell everyone the foods ready, we'll visit later," He said.
Phil wemt to the dining room, and Jake, still star struck, helped me with dinner and bringing it out. I heard my family gasp and cheer, as I walked out. I shook my head, smiling. This was going to be fun!
A few hours later, we're in the living room, a big pile of gifts looming over us. I giggled as I watched my family, their eyes all trained on one spot. Mrs. Jones quickly starts to divy them out. By the time she's done, there were at least 30 gifts per person.
"Honey, you really outdid yourself this year! You're not very...money savvy are you?" My mom asked.
I laughed. " Mom, I only wanted you guys to have the best ever. Just like you and Dad did for us."
She laughed with me. Soon, the room is filled with the sounds of ripping paper, thank yous, and a sea of wrapping paper on the floor. But it's all hushed when Mrs. Jones nearly screams out in surprise.
"You're...sending me to see my family?" She said, half sobbing.
Phil and I look at her with warm eyes.
"Only the best for the woman who takes care of us. You deserve it, Maria. I don't have any words to say other than thank you," Phil says.
"Mrs. Jones, you're my mother when I can't call mine. You're the most amazing woman. You're more than a housekeeper or maid. You're family," I said after him.
The look on her face is priceless. She looked happy, and grateful, with a hint of loving. We smiled at her.
"Thank...thank you. Thank you both very much. Bless you. I'll return as soon as I can. Don't let the house get too crazy!" She said jokingly. She gathered up her gifts, and headed to her room.
After a few hours, we had the living room cleaned up, dinner eaten, and the gifts put in the spare rooms. My brother, sisters and I go to clean the kitchen, while the "adults" talk and laugh. Phil later joins us, putting his arms around my waist as I'm doing dishes. We talk for a while. After the kitchen is cleaned, the "adults" go to bed and the rest of us stay up. Andi and Phil's sister, Chaleen bonded rather quickly. They're already planning on seeing each other as often as possible. Julia and Jake are almost asleep in their chairs. Phil and I are curled up on the couch, watching a cheesy super hero movie. Soon, we all fall asleep in the living room with our bellies full of food, and good company.
