Chapter 40: Being Your Hero
Colt walked into Punk and April's place that following Tuesday and was surprised they were both still there.
"Shouldn't you two be working?" Colt asked them
"I didn't have to work tonight" April said to him and he nodded
"And they don't want you this close to Wrestlemania on SmackDown?" Colt asked Punk surprised
"I'm sure they do but I also didn't want April mentioned or involved with Jericho" Punk shrugged simply as he watched the TV
"But don't you have to go get your head checked?" Colt asked
"I went to a real doctor instead and I'm fine" Punk said concentrating on the TV
"He's taking a sick day" April clarified to Colt
"I'm not going to a show that Vince isn't supervising after last night's fuck up" Punk said seriously
"You're still mad about that?" Colt asked amused and Punk shot him a death glare and Colt's smile faded
"Next Monday is the final Raw before Wrestlemania and I want to focus all of my energy into that" Punk said to him
"What happened to your hand?" Colt asked noticing the bandage
"He hit a wall" April said to him
"Ah you haven't done that in years" Colt chuckled "I kind of thought you out grew that"
"I didn't yell" Punk said proudly "I took all of my anger out on the wall and not anyone else"
"I guess that's a good step forward" Colt said unsurely
"I'm going out for a run" April said standing up. She was already in her sweats and sneakers were laced "Are you sure you don't want to come?" she asked Punk
"Yea I'm good" Punk said to her "Be careful"
"K" She said simply then walked out the door.
"Seriously are you sure skipping work tonight is a smart move?" Colt asked him
"They're lucky if I even go back" Punk said seriously "That shit last night was out of line. Hunter was all for it to. He's had it out for me for years and he's taking it on April like I knew he would"
"I'm sure he didn't know what exactly Jericho was doing" Colt reasoned
"Oh he knew" Punk said disgusted "I keep watching the video" he admitted to Colt "She was so freaked out and at one point in the video she looks right over to me" Colt just nodded "She was waiting for me to jump up and save her and I didn't and that's what kills me the most"
"Come on man you're lucky you don't have a concussion" Colt said to him
"I promised her the night I proposed I'd take care of her" Punk said to him "She's always been on her own she's never had anyone to protect her before and I fucking failed"
"You didn't fail her you didn't even know she'd be going out there" Colt argued
"I should have known. I knew Jericho was going to try something but I didn't think it would be that" Punk said coldly
"I know you love her" Colt said to him "But she took this she knows this is part of the business"
"She's trying to make me feel better" Punk shot at him "Imagine it was your girlfriend they did that to you" he said to Colt
"Hey like I said last night it made me sick to see that happen and believe me I want to kick Jericho's teeth down his throat but you can't take all of this so personally" Colt said to him
"It is personal" Punk said to him "We agreed he could poke fun at my parents and we were even going to do this crazy thing were he accused my sister of being a drug addict but April was not to be involved"
"Why?" Colt asked him "What is the big deal?"
"The big deal is everything WWE touches turns to shit and I don't want April tainted by them" Punk said to him "My sister was ok with the story because she doesn't have to go back and work there every night April does."
"She doesn't think any less of you" Colt said knowing what was really bothering him "Also I don't think she thinks John is better than you"
"Why would you even say that?" Punk asked annoyed jumping out of his seat
"You should be happy John was there" Colt said to him "Who knows how far he would have gone if John hadn't come out when he did. And keep in mind he asked Hunter if he could go out and they told him no and he went away"
"Look at golden boy breaking the rules to help my April" Punk said bitterly "What a fucking prince"
"I knew the John thing would piss you off more" Colt said to him
"It's bad enough I had to lay there at Jericho's fucking feet last night while he forced my fiancée to degrade herself but John fucking Cena came to the rescue" Punk said bitterly "I always knew he had a thing for her"
"Oh my god" Colt laughed "You've lost it"
"No I'm finally seeing thing clearly" Punk said surely with a wicked grin "He's been into her since that story they had and when I called him out on it I let him snow me but I know"
"You're crazy" Colt said to him
"I'm not fucking crazy!" Punk yelled "He bought her a huge bottle of perfume that cost a few hundred bucks, he insisted on keeping his story going with her-"
"That was to help her" Colt pointed out
"And when I walked out of the trainers office yesterday he was there with her" Punk said with a growl
"He was just checking on you" Colt chuckled "I think you should be more mad at Jericho"
"Jericho doesn't like me and he doesn't pretend to be my friend backstage" Punk pointed out "John is a phony. He lied right to my face" he seethed
"Dude you should be thankful" Colt said to him "No one else back there was willing to disobey Hunter. The Shield guys were kicking and screaming to get out there"
"I know John, I've worked with now for a long time and I know when he's ready to pounce" Punk said to him
"I think you just to relax" Colt said to him "Besides so what if he likes her? So what if he wants to sleep with her- it will never happen because April loves you"
"He saved her last night" Punk said to him
"It was a wrestling story" Colt pointed out
"I used to be the one to do that for her" Punk said to him "I've always helped her and protected her and I think that's part of the reasons he fell for me"
"Oh please" Colt laughed "That wasn't it at all. You two were best friends! It's not like she was being held captive and you kicked in a door and threw her over your shoulder and saved her from all the evils of the world. She has taken care of herself for a long time and for some unknown reason she fell for you because you're a nerd who loves her. You just need to protect her even though she hates it"
"Yea she does hate it so how come she was so grateful to John last night?" Punk asked "What is it about this guy that everyone loves?"
"I don't really like him that much" Colt offered "And I really don't think April loves him"
"Whatever man" Punk said to him "I know this is my own personal shit I'm working through"
"It's crazy" Colt said seriously
"I can't help the way I feel" Punk said to him
Later that night Punk was in bed watching TV flicking through every channel. He was still irritable and it was driving April nuts. She stepped into the bedroom and rested against the doorframe. She was sporting just one of Punk's t-shirts that barely covered her.
"What are you watching?" April asked
"Nothing" He said looking at the TV as he just clicked away on the controller
"You like my shirt? It's the new John Cena one" April said casually and that certainly caught his attention as his eyes shot over to her.
"Funny" Punk remarked bitterly and looked back at the TV
"Oh come on" she laughed walking over to the bed
"So I'm guessing you spoke with Colt" Punk said looking over to her
"Yup" April said to him
"I don't have feelings for John" April said to him
"I never said you did" Punk said seriously
"I also don't consider John to be my hero" April said to him "You're my guy" she said simply
"I know" Punk said to her "It's not about you and Colt shouldn't have said anything to you"
"I twisted his arm" April shrugged "Literally" she added with a wicked grin
"My girl" Punk smiled proudly
"I don't care that John helped me on Monday all I could think about was you" April said to him
"Like I said it's not on you and I am glad someone was able to do what I couldn't" Punk said to her seriously
"You were out cold" April said to him "He took a cheap shot and I fell right into his hands. If you're mad at anyone don't be mad at John or even Jericho be mad at me"
"I couldn't be mad at you even if I tried" Punk said to her "Like I told Colt earlier this is my own stuff I'm dealing with"
"I love you" April said softly grabbing his hand. Punk sat up on the bed and kissed her hand lightly
"I hated seeing you in that position" Punk said to her "And I'm pissed off about it and I can't make it go away. But I really am trying to not let spoil our few days off together"
"I'd be upset if I was you" April admitted honestly "And if another woman came out and helped you I'd be furious" she said surprising him "It must have sucked to watch that"
"Sucked is one word for it" Punk said nodding in agreement
"See how I did that?" April asked with a smile "So now you can see why the Jewel thing bothered me so much?"
"Oh god April" Punk laughed "I would have been pissed too. I just didn't want you to dwell on it"
"And I don't want you to dwell either" April insisted
"I'm trying" Punk said to her "I think I have handled this unbelievingly well"
"Yes you have" April smiled leaning down and kissing him "You do know that I'm yours and only yours right?" she asked in a low voice and that peeked his interest.
"Yea?" Punk asked
"John Cena or hell even Batman could come out and the only man I'd be looking at is you" April said to him. Punk ran his hands up and down the back of her thighs and hung on every word she said. She knew she was feeding his ego and also turning him on all at the same time. He stood up now and looked down at her.
"Say it again" he said to her
"I'm yours" she said knowing that's exactly what he wanted to hear. "I've never let another man touch me the way you do and I never will" as soon as she finished the sentence his lips were latched onto hers. His hands moved to her ass and gave both cheeks a tight squeeze.
The kiss filled with want and desire and as much as April enjoyed kissing him she needed to feel all of him. She turned to the bed and fell back on it. She propped herself up on her elbows and watched lustfully as Punk tugged off his t-shirt and peeled off his shorts and boxers.
"You look really good in my shirt" Punk noted eyeing her up. The comment caused her to lay all the way back and stretch causing the shirt to rise past the panty line giving him a great view. "It's going to be a shame when I rip it off of you" he said crawling over her slightly. He kissed the bare skin that was poking free from her shirt rising.
"I love the way you kiss me" April said to him
"I love the way you taste" he said moving up her body so their faces were an inch apart. He pushed her panties to the side and slid two fingers into her and she instantly rolled her eyes to the back of her head "I'm addicted to you. The way you taste, the way you smell and the way you laugh"
"Oh Phil" she cried out and tried to reach up to kiss him but he pulled his face away and grinned devilishly "Let me kiss you" she demanded
"No" He said shaking his head and continued to move his digits in and out of her "I want to hear you"
"You're the best" April said losing control of her breathing causing him to smile "You're mean but it's worth it"
"Mean?" Punk pouted and pulled his fingers out of her abruptly
"Now that was really mean" April whined "Please baby" she pleaded
"Move up the bed" he ordered "Grab the headboard" he instructed
"What are you going to do?" April asked as he pulled off her t-shirt before she moved to the top of the bed.
"You'll love it" Punk promised. She crawled up the bed so she was on her knees and grabbing onto the headboard. "Open your legs" he ordered and now April was getting more and more moist. He was looking to prove himself even though he didn't have to but she wasn't going to stop him. She opened her legs and felt Punk tug down her panties. A moment later she looked down and saw Punk was underneath her. He grabbed a hold of her hips and tugged her down so she was smothering his face and the first thing she felt was his tongue plunged deep into her core.
"Holy shit" April screamed out and she could almost feel his smile. She gripped the headboard so tight she was afraid she was going to break it. His hands were so tight on her hips because she kept squirming she was sure there would be mild bruising but she didn't care. All she cared about right now was the fact that Punk was giving her more pleasure then ever before.
April's moans only encouraged Punk as she felt his nose brush into her sensitive area as well. He was using parts on her that she never would have considered. His hands wandered from her hips to her butt and pushed her further into him and it was like he was everywhere. She screamed out his name louder then ever as she climaxed and he welcomed everything her body offered him. He crawled out from under her as she let go of the headboard and collapsed onto the bed.
"Holy shit" April blurted out
"That's the second time you said that" Punk smirked
"That's all I can think of" April said in shock of how amazing that was.
"I told you it would only get better" Punk said to her
"What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?" April asked him "You've been holding out on me" she smiled rolling over so she was facing him
"I've got many but we can't do them all at once we've got to spread it out" Punk said to her
"I want to do that again" April said quickly and almost desperately causing him to let out a loud laugh
"Right now?" Punk asked still laughing
"Yes" she said with wide eyes then frowned "No. It can't be all about me"
"I promise that won't be the last time" he said to her then leaned into kiss her lips but she looked away "What?" he asked her
"You were in there pretty deep" April noted not really wanting to kiss him after his tongue was elsewhere.
"You've kissed me before after" Punk reminded him
"Yea it was just different this time" April shrugged
"You want me go brush my teeth?" Punk asked with a chuckle
"Oh could you?" She asked hopefully
"No I'm not killing the mood" he said to her "Do you have any idea how good you taste?" he asked her seriously but she scrunched her face off "Come on" he said grabbing her chin lightly
"Ok" April said unsurely and felt his lips latch onto hers. She wasn't going to let his tongue in but he overpowered her and she did taste herself on his tongue and she wasn't a fan of it but it didn't bother her as much as she thought it would and actually it kind of turned her on. As they were open mouth kissing Punk nestled himself in-between her legs and pushed against her so she could feel exactly how much he wanted her. He grabbed her arms and held them over her head and pushed into her harder causing her to cry out in want.
"I'm ready for you" April assured him knowing that's what he was going to ask. She tried to move her arms but he wasn't budging.
"Say it April" he said in a husky voice as he looked down at her
"I'm yours" She said firmly "I'm only going to be yours. No one else's" she said exactly what he wanted to hear so she was rewarded by his long member entering her core. She instantly smiled at the contact. "Harder" she said enjoying his pace but she did like it a little rough.
"I love you" Punk said as he moved rougher "I love you so fucking much" she couldn't respond but she did nod to his comments "You're it for me no one else"
"Oh Phil!" April cried as she still tried to pry her arms lose but he still wouldn't let go.
April opened her eyes and saw how Punk was watching with such intensity and love. He was making her feel good but he was also making himself feel better he was claiming her even though he didn't have to. There was no one who would better then he was and he was making sure she knew it. She reached her peek and clenched around him and she caught the satisfied smirk on his face and let go for her arms but she didn't have the energy to move them she let him finish off deep inside her a few moments later and then finally moved her arms so they wrapped around his back. He was lying right on top of her with his ear resting against her beating heart, which was racing. It was her turn to make him feel better and she did so by just comforting him with loving strokes down his back.
"You're amazing" April said to him and kissed the top of his head
"I'm sorry" Punk said still lying against her and not looking at her "I won't let you down again"
"You could never let me down" April said to him "You're so good to me and I'm not a fool I know exactly how lucky I am to have you. Girls would kill to be me"
"You'd really pick me over Batman?" Punk asked seriously and he felt her chest move do to laughter
"Without a doubt" April said proudly "You're my batman"
