Cuts Heal In Time (CM Punk)

Chapter 33: New Tattoos

"Punk, meet me outside your bus!" Bella yelled into her phone.

"Where are you?" he yawned.

"I'm on my way to you right now, so get ready."

"For what?" he groaned.

"It's a surprise! But I'm five minutes away, so hurry!"

"Okay, okay. I'm getting dressed as we speak."

"Good boy."

--------------------

"Are you going to tell me where we're going?" Bella had pulled up to Punk in an Uber and demanded that he got in. She still hadn't told him where they were going.

"Thanks for the greeting," she rolled her eyes.

"You'll get a greeting when you tell me where you're taking me."

"Well if you must know," she poked him on the nose, "you are accompanying me to my tattoo appointment."

Tattoo appointment? Now that was something he could get behind.

She noticed a wide grin grow on his face when she said that. Their Uber was around five minutes away from the tattoo parlor.

"What are you getting?"

"You'll see when we get there nosey," she teased.

And soon enough, they made it.

They entered the shop together and the guy in the front could not look more excited to see Bella. His eyes literally lit up at the sight of her, "Bella."

"Hey, are you Kyle's friend?"

Kyle was her go-to tattoo artist back in Chicago.

"Nah not me. That's Benny. He's in the back getting things ready."

"Okay, thank you," she sent a sweet smile in his direction.

"You guys can head to the back whenever, but could I get a quick picture with you first?"

"Of course," Bella answered. 

He handed his phone to Punk, which caused his eyes to widen (he was never on this end of the camera, but he was happy to do so for Bella).

Bella kissed the fan on the cheek for the picture causing the heavily tattooed man to blush. 

"Can I get a selfie with both of you real quick?"

"Sure," Punk smiled.

The fan held his phone up and took a few quick pictures. Punk had a small grin and Bella flashed her very pearly whites for the picture.

"So are both of you getting work done? Or just Bella."

"Just me," she smiled.

"Yeah, I didn't know we were coming until about five minutes ago, so I didn't have time to plan."

"Sorry bout that."

"Ready for you Bella!" a voice from the back called out to her.

"That's Benny," the guy in the front said.

"Thanks," she smiled, "What's your name?"

His eyes widened when she asked him his name, "Oh, um. Bryan."

"Nice to meet you Bryan," she held out her hand for a handshake, and he gladly accepted, before she walked to the back, with Punk on her tail.

"Arabella," Benny greeted with a big smile on his face. She mirrored his smile, "Benny. Nice to meet you."
