Cuts Heal In Time (CM Punk)

Chapter 48: Big Time

Punk watched as Bella spoke on the phone with Stephanie Mcmahon. From the way she was nodding her head and trying not smile, he assumed things were going well.

"Okay, bye Stephanie. Thank you."

She turned around and jumped into Punk's arms, "This is amazing!"

"What?" he asked mirroring the huge smile on her face.

"ESPN wants to do a feature on me!"

"Bells! That's amazing!" He gave her a kiss on the cheek before setting her down, "What'd Stephanie say?"

"Basically she talked about how popular I was getting, especially on social media. Then ESPN called her and asked if they could interview me and stuff, and she called me right after she got off the phone with them!"

"Wow."

"They want to do it in Chicago and have me like take them around where I grew up and where I live. They're gonna interview Jade and probably Colt too. It's crazy!"

"That's awesome," He said with a smile still on his face, "When are they doing it?"

"This weekend."

"Wow, so when are you going back to Chicago?"

"Tonight after smackdown."

"Want me to come?"

"That would be great!"

Onscreen: 

"Bella."

She looked up to see Aj in front of her. She had been dreading this confrontation.

"Hey girl," she smiled as if nothing had happened.

"I've been looking for you."

"Have you?"

"Yes."

"What's going on?" Bella asked.

"I've been meaning to ask you why you kissed me at Money in the Bank?"

"Wow, you cut right to the chase."

"Well, I want to know."

"I guess I just felt like it."

"You 'just felt like it'?" Aj questioned.

"Yeah pretty much."

"I don't understand," Aj said.

"Well why have you kissed Punk, Daniel, and Kane?" Aj shrugged.

"See? Not everything needs an explanation."

"I guess."

"Well I'm going to go get some food. Wanna come?"

"Sure," Aj responded with a smile on her face.

Bella was hanging out in Randy's locker room with him and John.

"Bella I'm serious." John shook his head cracking up.

"I didn't mean to," she fake pouted.

"He's afraid to show his face in the locker room," Randy laughed.

"Yeah, he has literally been hiding behind Nattie."

"No he hasn't." Bella said.

"Then let's listen to what she has to say," Randy said, turning his attention to the screen. Nattie stood in the center of the ring with a microphone.
