May 31: WWE Live! ; Springfield, IL - Prairie Capital Convention Center
PAIGE POV-
Emma and I arrive at the arena 3 hours before show time. It's a live event so the restrictions on what we do out there are almost entirely gone.
I have a match against Natalya and I couldn't be anymore pumped. She's one of my favorite opponents because she was willing to teach and round out my wrestling in the good old NXT days.
We walk to the locker rooms and note where each station is located if we need it.
"Hey, I'll catch you later, I gotta take care of something," Emma says.
I honestly thought I'd be the saying those words. I smile and agree as she leaves down another hall. It's too early to change into my gear so I'm left to hang out. I'm expecting Punk to come up behind me and yell 'RamPaige!' any second now.
Nothing.
I feel so clueless.
All of a sudden, I see Punk on his phone in my peripheral.
"Punk!" He looks up at me and smiles.
I head towards him with bag still in hand. He's coming this way and I can't help but feel glad, because I missed him.
"Hey Paige, how are ya?" He says wrapping both arms around my shoulders. One of the most comforting feelings ever.
"I'm fantastic! I never got the chance to congratulate you on your match against Dolph on Tuesday. It was, well, awesome." I'm like a little kid fan telling him this.
"I left the arena early. But hey, thanks! I watched yours too, loved the facial expressions. You learn quick, don't you?" He winks.
My heart flutters.
"I just learn from the best." I wink back at him. I'm pretty sure that looked awkward as hell from his standpoint.
Punk laughs, "Thanks."
"So what're you scheduled for later?"
"I have a match against Cesaro. How about you?"
"Against Natalya."
"Nice! That'll be a fun one."
"Yep. Hey Punk, when do you think I can get that promo lesson? I'm supposed to be on the mic at Payback."
"Hmm, maybe later. If not then, then definitely in Chicago."
"Alright, that's perfect."
We smile at each other. I'm not sure if he's noticed my infatuation, it's way too obvious even for myself.
It's killing me to know how he feels. Are we okay? Are we going to pretend that our feelings for each other don't exist? Because if we are, he's doing a damn good job.
Anything for alone time with him to talk this out.
PUNK POV- (An hour later)
I walked through the hallway to try and look for Kofi, Dolph, or anyone! But I was passing Seth Rollins's locker room.
"Why don't you just apologize to them?" I knew that voice.
It was Paige.
"Look it's not that easy" I heard Seth.
"Yes. It is. They'll forgive you if you apologize! Truly."
"No Paige!"
"I can't stand seeing Dean and Roman as messed up as they are right now!"
