Cuts Heal In Time (CM Punk)

Chapter 3: Punk and Colt

The girls just finished making their way to the VIP section of the party. Eve was such a genuine person from the jump. She immediately pulled Bella in for a hug, much to her surprise, greeting her with a beaming, "Hi sweetie. I'm Eve!"

"Hi, I'm a big fan. I'm Bella," she responded as her cheeks reddened.

Eve found it endearing that the young girl was so nervous to meet her, "Oh I know all about you. This one wouldn't shut up about her amazing best friend," she said as she bumped hips with Jade, causing Bella's cheeks to get even redder.

They began to make small talk that was mostly led by Jade until Eve called some of her friends over to where they were sitting.

Bella instinctively looked down, until she felt someone sit next to her. She looked up to see none other than CM Punk. She felt her cheeks flush. She was a huge fan of his, but she wasn't even sure if he had looked in her direction.

Seeing him from across the room had already made her nervous, but being this close to him was unreal. She felt like she was having trouble breathing.

Phil Brooks was not the friendliest or most sociable person out there by any means. Tonight, he was back in his home town celebrating an incredible win, and he was surrounded by his good friends- Colt who was to the left of him and Zack Ryder and Eve who were sitting across from him. So naturally he was in a good mood, but he still was not in the mood to meet any new people.

"Earth to Punk!" Eve laughed, waving her hand in front of his face. He could tell she was getting a little tipsy, but she wasn't one of those girls who got too annoying when drunk.

"I want to introduce you to my new friends," she beamed. He couldn't help but roll his eyes, causing her to glare at him.

"Anyways," she narrowed her eyes at Phil, "This is Jade," the brunette girl stood up and waved at him, "And this is Arabella."

He looked directly to his right. The girl had her head down, but she turned to look at him, with her bright green eyes, "My friends call me Bella."

This Bella was certainly something. Punk was not a guy who often found himself speechless, but for a second, he didn't know what to say. She was by far the most beautiful girl in the room. Her eyes were enchanting. Her lips were plump and fixed in a pout, and her nose was slim and slightly upturned. She had the most beautiful golden skin that was adorned with tattoos. She tucked a piece of her wavy rose-gold hair behind her ear, and he noticed that she had words tattooed along her slender manicured fingers.

Her pink lips were pursed, as she raised her eyebrows, waiting for a response.

"I like that name," he said simply. She didn't know what to respond, so mumbled a quick thank you, before taking a sip of the water in front of her.

He tried not to stare at her lips as she played with the straw in her cup, but he couldn't help it.

He averted his gaze, not wanting to look creepy and began to examine the other people around him. Eve and Zack couldn't keep their hands off of each other, and Bella's friend, whose name he already forgot, was talking to Drew Mcintyre.

"I'm Colt," his best friend said reaching over him to shake Bella's hand, "and that's Phil, but his friends call him Punk."

He could tell she was trying not to smile, as she sunk her teeth into her bottom lip.

"Hi."

Punk wondered if she was truly as shy as she came off or if she was just trying to act that way in front of him. He has had countless numbers of girls attempt to flirt with him in mysterious ways, and usually, he could see right through them. Usually, he was good at reading people, but he couldn't quite read her.
