Chapter 41: Compatibility
April was sitting in Punk's locker room and watching him warm up for the show tonight. He was completely in the zone and he was ready to hurt Jericho. As soon as they got to Raw he sat down with Vince who apologized and gave Punk the 'ok' to go over on Jericho tonight. It wasn't going to be much but he was going to give Jericho the beating he deserved. He refused to stop and talk to anyone- he didn't want anyone clouding his mind.
"How long has been at it?" Paul asked stepping into the room. Punk was across the room and facing the wall while he stretched so he didn't even see Paul step inside.
"Over an hour" April said in a bored tone "He's really focused"
"Oh boy" Paul muttered "So how did it go when you told him?"
"I'm not sure if he's more mad at Jericho or John" April admitted honestly
"Him and John will always have their issues" Paul said to her "But I'd be very afraid if I was Jericho. Actually I know Jericho is a little nervous about tonight"
"I just hope he's careful" April sighed looking over to him
"It's not him you should worry about me" Paul smirked
"I'd rather him just focus his anger on Jericho and not John" April said to him
"Oh he'll say something to John" Paul chuckled
"What was John supposed to do?" April asked with a sigh
"He was supposed to do exactly what he did" Paul assured her "But you know Punk" he said to her
"I have too much going on right now to be worried about him picking a fight with John now too" April said to him
"Yea your wedding is right around the corner" Paul said to her and she smiled "How excited are you?"
"Pretty freaking excited" She squealed
"Me too I never thought I'd live to see the day Punk got married" Paul admitted
"You don't think he'll get cold feet?" April asked him nervously
"No" Paul said without hesitation "I have never seen him so confidant with someone before"
"Really?" April asked
"Yes" Paul confirmed
"Hey Paul" Punk said pulling off his headphones realizing he was in the room
"Hey how are you feeling tonight?" Paul asked
"Like breaking someone's face" Punk said cheerfully
"Wonderful" Paul beamed nervously "I was just checking in I'm meeting with Brock but I'm looking forward to tonight" he said to Punk who nodded
"Yea I'll catch you later" Punk said as Paul walked out of the room
"You ready?" April asked him and he nodded
"Yea" Punk said to her
"Don't forget I'm working tonight" April reminded him "So we can't just skip out when you're done"
"Cool what are you doing?" Punk asked
"I'm going to be tagging with Celeste tonight" April said to him "They're really pushing us to be onscreen friends"
"Maybe so you can get that title on Sunday" Punk noted
"You think so?" April asked
"Yea I mean you two are friends onscreen and you get the pin on her that starts a great story" Punk said to her
"I don't want to get my hopes up" April said to him "Because if I get married the same week I win the title I don't know which I would be more excited for" She said with a laugh and he just eyed her holding back a smile "Obviously the wedding" she said quickly
"Right" Punk smirked
April was in the back watching Jericho cut a promo and thankfully he stayed on task and discussed mostly the match and the championship.
"Hey kid" John Cena grinned walking over to her
"Hey John" she smiled "How's it going?"
"Good I wanted to catch this" John said looking towards the screen and taking a seat next to her in the chair "How's he handling this?"
"He handled it well" April shrugged "He only hit one wall after watching the video"
"That's progress" John chuckled look towards the screen.
They watched as Punk rushed the ring with a pipe in his hand and took Jericho down. A lot of Punk's attack on Jericho was cringe worthy. Punk didn't even give Jericho a chance to come back at him and he refused to sell any hit Jericho gave him. Punk had tossed Jericho out of the ring and tossed him over the announcers' table. Once he was out Punk was satisfied with the amount of damage he inflicted. He held up his titled over Jericho and screamed out 'best in the world!' before walking away.
"Wow poor Jericho" John said watching the scene unfold
"I need to go" April said standing up "I'll catch you later John" she said then walked away
"Hey wait up" John said jogging up behind her. The last thing April needed was for Punk to see her hanging around John Cena…
"I really want to go meet Punk before my match" April insisted
"It's just- I still feel really bad about what happened last week" John said to her "And I wanted to apologize for not getting out there sooner"
"Oh don't be silly" April said to him quickly "And I do appreciate you helping me but I really have to go" she said but John lightly grabbed her arm and laughed
"What is wrong?" he asked confused
"I just really have to get ready for my match and like I said I want to check on Phil first" April said to him
"Oh well here he comes now" John nodded letting go of her arm.
"Hey you did great" April beamed and he just smiled at her
"Hey Punk" John said and Punk just forced a smile and nodded at him before wrapping his arm around April's waist and pulling her away.
"Are you ok?" April asked looking over to him
"Yea I feel much better" Punk said happily "Oh and they're changing the Wrestlemania match to a street fight" he said to her
"Sounds like there's a big chance you're going to marry me with a black eye" April frowned
"He won't get that kind of an upper hand" Punk assured her
"He's pretty spiteful" April noted
"Well he has no idea we're getting married a few days after so we're good" Punk smirked
"You were a little cold to John, no?" April asked
"I was my normal self" Punk defended with a shrug
"I thought we were over this" April said as they entered his locker him "I thought you got this out of your system…unless you want to get out of your system again?" she asked shyly and starting to blush
"You really loved that huh?" Punk asked amused
"Amazing" April said happily
"If we do it too much you'll get bored of it" Punk pointed out
"Never!" April said seriously causing him to laugh "Your tongue is so talented"
"That it is" Punk agreed seriously tugging on the loop of her jeans and tugging her body towards his.
"No, no can't start this now" April said sadly pushing him away "I have to be out there soon"
"Too bad" Punk sighed
"Alright we'll I'm going to go meet with Celeste I really just wanted to see you before I went out" April said to him and gave him a quick kiss
"Have fun" Punk said before she walked out the door.
Punk was wandering down the hall and caught sight of John hanging around and was tempted to stop but decided against it. But as Punk passed he noticed John was watching the screen closely and it was April's match he was watching. Punk now found himself walking toward John and tapped his shoulder.
"Hey man" John said turning to him "What's up?"
"Nothing" Punk shrugged "Watching April's match?" he asked nodding towards the screen
"Yea she's real good too" John smirked "You must be helping her out a lot"
"Look about last week…" Punk trailed off
"No need to thank me" John said cutting him off
"Right" Punk forced out "Look what you did- I appreciate it"
"But?" John asked sensing it coming
"But nothing" Punk said with an obnoxious laugh "You ran out there and you did what I couldn't"
"Are you upset about that?" John asked with a chuckle "Did you want me to leave her out there so Jericho could further humiliate her?"
"Not at all" Punk said to him "Like I said I appreciate you running out and helping her"
"No problem it was my pleasure" John said to him
"I bet" Punk smirked
"What's that supposed to mean?" John asked in a friendly
"It means you love to play hero especially to April for some reason" Punk shrugged
"Woah" John said holding up his hand "I don't like playing hero and I would have done that for any Diva out there"
"Sure" Punk said sarcastically
"You should really be thanking me" John said to him "If it wasn't for me who knows how far Jericho would have gone"
"Thank you so much John" Punk said dramatically "Thank you for going out of your way to make me look bad"
"Make you look bad?" John roared with laughter "You were out cold! I went out there to help you too"
"I don't need your help" Punk shot at him "And you wouldn't have gone out there if it was anyone but April"
"I like her I wanted to help her" John pointed out
"Yea I know you like her" Punk said with smile "You like her a lot don't you?"
"We're back at this huh?" John asked amused "If I wanted to be with April I would be with April" he informed him and Punk's eyes widened dramatically
"Oh really?" Punk asked "Because you're better than me?"
"No because I'm a little more level headed than you" John said to him "I'm all not so insecure"
"I'm not insecure I'm smart" Punk shot at him "And more importantly I know you John. April is right up your alley"
"So now you know my type" John smirked
"She's beautiful, smart, independent and what really counts to you is the fact that she loves this business more than you do" Punk said smugly
"Does that bother you?" John questioned "Because obviously I respect her appreciation for the business but I'm sure you don't"
"I appreciate everything about her" Punk informed him
"Really?" John asked amused "So it doesn't bother you that she probably wants to be here for a long time and you're probably going to leave in a few years?"
"Nope" Punk said to him
"Just because April and I are a little more well suited for each other doesn't mean I'm going to steal her from you" John said to him
"What makes you think you even could?" Punk asked annoyed "Also what the hell do you mean you're well suited for her? You think you two are more compatible then me and her?"
"She has a passion for this business just like me" John pointed out
"Oh so let me just step aside and pass her right off to you" Punk said to him mockingly
"We also like the same music" John said to him "We both like all of the same food, we enjoy running, we like all of the same wrestlers, we have the same beliefs-"
"Oh fuck off" Punk laughed "Wow you two like the same music and wow two athletes like to run what an odd thing"
"Also her personality is better matched with mine" John said to him "But I've never flaunted that or rubbed it in your face"
"Her personality?" Punk asked growing angry
"She's sweet" John shrugged "Innocent, kind, generous, charitable, thoughtful-"
"And I'm none of those things?" Punk frowned "Why John I'm offended"
"All I'm saying is if I wanted to try with April I would have" John said to him "But I haven't"
"And why is that?" Punk asked her
"Because she's with you" John said simply
"And if she wasn't?" Punk asked
"We'll never know" John informed him
"Hey did you catch my match?" April asked out of breath as she ran towards Punk
"No I was talking to John" Punk admitted "But I'll watch it back"
"Are you guys ok?" April asked
"Wonderful" Punk said to her
"I'll see you guys at the next show" John smiled and walked away
"Are you ok?" April asked him
"I fucking hate him" Punk seethed watching him walk away
On the bus April and Punk enjoyed a long lovemaking session. Her warm sweaty body was wrapped around his as she curled into him and basked in the afterglow.
"It really does keep getting better and better" April said to him happily
"That's right" Punk said tangling his fingers in her long hair
"You know you have nothing to prove to me right?" April asked moving her head so she was looking up at him
"I want to prove you picked the right guy" Punk answered her
"I'm pretty sure I picked the right guy" April giggled "I mean sex isn't our entire relationship"
"Yea but we're pretty compatible in the bedroom" Punk pointed out "Wouldn't you agree?"
"Sure" April said unsurely
"You don't think we're compatible?" he asked alarmed
"Of course I do" April said to him "Why would you say that?"
"John doesn't think you and I are very compatible" Punk admitted coolly "But he thinks you two could be soul mates"
"He did not say that" she laughed
"He did!" Punk defended
"First of all we are compatible in a lot of ways" April told him seriously "And we're also different in a lot of ways and I love that about us. If we were too alike it would be boring"
"You think so?" Punk asked
"Of course" April said to him "I mean first of all we are alike because we love comics but the fact that we don't agree on who the best character is really fun. I like arguing with you mostly because you always let me win. I like that you challenge me as well and I'd like to think that the fact that we're both stubborn make us stronger"
"That's what I said to him" Punk lied with a shrug
"He's just teasing you" April said to him
"No he wasn't" Punk said annoyed "He thinks if he made a play for you you'd run right into his arms"
"If John Cena or any other man made a play for me I'd make it very clear that I am happily off the market" April said to him. "You have nothing to worry about"
"I know I don't I just hate how fucking smug John is" Punk said bitterly
"He is pretty cocky" April agreed "But you're cockier" she smirked
"That is true as well" Punk agreed
"So can we put this crazy John stuff to bed now?" April asked hopefully
"The only person I'm putting to bed is you" Punk said to her seriously
"I think you already have" she noted with a smile
"I could put you to bed all night" Punk said to her as he rolled on top of her
"When we're married are we going to still have this much sex?" April asked as he kissed down her neck
"Yes" he said without hesitation
"I can't believe what I had been missing all of these years" April said with a satisfied smile
"Are you sure you're ready to lock down with me?" he asked as he moved lowered and began to kiss her breasts "You won't have any doubts or second thoughts being with me and only me?"
"Never" April promised as he began to suck on her breast. She tugged on his hair and pulled him back up his body and pulled him into a deep kiss.
The kiss was hot enough to get both turned on completely. Punk's hands roamed her body and hers did the same. Punk was so into the kiss he didn't even fight the fact that April had rolled him onto his back and lay across his chest. She never even broke the kiss with the sudden movement. As they continued to kiss she ran her wet core over his member he groaned out in anticipation. April smiled as she slowly pulled away from the kiss and moved down and lifted herself up slightly. She kept her eyes locked on his as she slowly lowered herself onto him. He sighed almost with relief as soon as he was inside of her.
"You are so amazing" Punk marveled as he watched her ride him.
As she moved up and down over him she could feel him getting closer and moved her fingers over her clit and began to massage herself but Punk sat up straight and grabbed her hand.
"Baby I have to" April sighed as he continued to rock into her from his seated position
"No" He said to her and took the fingers that were touching herself and placed them into his mouth. April thought she was going to explode at that moment. He ran his tongue over her both her fingers and nipped at them with her teeth. Something so simple drove her into madness and that's why she had no doubts about him ever.
"I love you so much" April practically cried as he released her fingers. She was getting very close and so was he. She wrapped her arms around his neck while his moved to her backside and he continued thrusting into her while she rocked with him. A few moments later they both released and fell back onto the bed with April sprawled over him.
"Nope no regrets at all" April said happily while Punk ran his fingers up and down her back "You?"
"Never" Punk said to her "I love you too by the way"
"I know" April said to him "You show me everyday. You have nothing to worry about with John"
"Oh honey I know that" Punk said sweetly "But if you ever mention that name while I'm still technically inside of you again I'm going to have to call off this engagement" he said in the same sweet sarcastic voice
"Woops" she giggled carefully getting off of him "You know two Monday's from now we'll be doing this as a married couple"
"Just not on a bus" Punk said to her "Well be already a few days into our honeymoon"
"Which I still know nothing about" April said to him
"Yea I know and I think it's so great how patient you've been about it" Punk said to her "I mean I know you know how important this to me to surprise you with this which is why I know you didn't corner Colt and trying pinching it out of him and I also know you wouldn't have called the travel agency behind my back" April looked like she got caught with her hands in the cookie jar.
"Exactly" she forced out with a straight face he just gave her a knowing look and she rolled her eyes "How could you plan this elaborate trip without anyone else knowing!" and he just laughed
"Get some sleep" he said rolling over
"Hey wait" she said tugging on his arm so he rolled back over to face her "Goodnight" she said sweetly kissing his lips
"Night" he smirked and wrapped his arm around her
