Cuts Heal In Time (CM Punk)

Chapter 11: Night Out on the Town

After Punk made Bella aware of his intentions, he took her out to a bar with the intention of "finding her someone to bone."

"You're unbelievable. You know that?" She laughed at him.

"Hey hey hey. You should be thanking me."

"For what exactly?"

"Taking you out."

"Oh?" she raised her eyebrows.

"Yup."

"I didn't even want to come out tonight."

"That's my brand."

"No, you gave that up when you became 'Party Punk'."

"Party Punk?" he chuckled.

"Yeah, you keep bringing me out. You're trying to get me laid. Who even are you?" she grinned at him.

He had his arm wrapped around her, as they sat at a table together. Neither of them realized that when they were out together, they often looked like a couple, so that usually prevented people from approaching them.

"Arabella!" they heard a male voice say.

The two friends turned around to see none other than John Cena. Punk furrowed his eyebrows, confused as to why John Cena was approaching his friend.

"Hey John," she greeted him with a smile.

Punk wondered how they knew each other at all. He and Bella were never really apart, so when would she have had time to hang out with Big match John? And why would she ever want to hang out with him?

"Oh, hey Phil," he said, much less excited. Punk nodded in his direction, shooting him a very fake smile.

"I haven't seen you in a while, and I wanted to congratulate you on your debut!"

"You're so sweet. Thank you," she smiled.

Punk rolled his eyes at Super Cena. Why him of all people? Why did he have to be the superstar to come up to Bella?

"I'm just telling it like I saw it."

"I was so nervous John. This one had to give me a pep talk," she nudged Punk on his side.

"Yeah, but she did so well, I had to take her out to celebrate," he pat her cheek, causing her to slap his hand away. John noticed how comfortable the two of them were around each other. He and the guys had been speculating as to whether or not they were into each other.

"Well if you really want to celebrate, you should come hang out with us over there," John told Bella, motioning to his table with Randy and Batista.

She looked at Punk for reassurance, but his eyes wouldn't meet her own.

"You can come too Phil," John added. He wasn't crazy about the guy, but he knew that Bella wouldn't leave him, "If you want."

"Yay," he said sarcastically, standing up from his seat.

"Be nice," Bella whispered, pinching his side, as they approached John's table.

Bella didn't notice when Randy took in a sharp breath at the sight of her. Punk, however, wanted to punch Randy in the face for looking at her that way.

"Pig." he mumbled to himself. Now Punk was a self proclaimed "Chick Magnet," but Randy Orton was just on another level of horndog, and he knew that Randy had his sights set on Bella.

"Well, look who it is," Randy smirked, "I saved you a seat." Of course you did, Punk thought to himself.

Bella smiled at him and took a seat next to him. Punk sat on the other side of her.
