Chapter 19; Stargazing

*CM Punk POV*

I waited for my cue to go out and interupt Alicia in the ring. She was talking about Summerslam and our kiss.

“You’re on,” one of the producers said to me as he handed me a mic.

My theme song, “Cult Of Personality” hit and I walked down the ramp towards Alicia.

She looked beautiful tonight in this grayish dress and white heels. As I walked down, I tried to apologize to her with my eyes. I doubt she relayed my message though. 

I held the mic up as I said, “Congratulations on YOUR win.”

I dropped it and pulled her in as I brought my lips to hers. I was shocked that she was as into the kiss as I was.

I was hoping it wasn’t just for the storyline. I honestly feel awful about the whole punching situation.

I walked out of the ring as soon as I pulled away from the kiss. I waited for her to come backstage. I really needed to talk to her.

I heard the clicking of heels and soon she came through the curtain. 

“Alicia I really need to talk to you,” I pleaded.

“Fine,” she grumbled as she took my hand and led me to my locker room. She sat down beside me on the couch.

“What do you want?” she asked.

“I feel so awful about accidentally punching you and blowing up at Alex,” I said.

“Do you realize that you hurt me physically and emotionally? I don’t know if I can be with someone with such a short temper,” she answered as tears began falling down her face.

I wiped them away before saying, “I don’t ever want to lose you. Do you realize how much I love you, Alicia Hope Marquez?” I asked.

“I love you too Phillip. But I don’t think this Is going to work out,” she said as she began to sob.

I understood where she was coming from. She had told me how her real dad was abusive to her, Alaina, and her mom. She also had told me how her dad would get mad over the littlest things. Her real dad left when she was 10. Her mom remarried to a really nice guy that she calls 'Dad'.

“From the moment I laid eyes on you four years ago, I knew I wanted you to be mine. I don’t want that to be ruined because I fucked up. I‘m sorry,” I said softly.

“I forgive you baby. I can’t stay mad at you,” she admitted.

“Is it because of my devilish good looks? Or my amazing physique?” I teased

She smiled a little before saying, “Promise me you won’t let Alex phase you? He’s just jealous that I wanted to be with you and not him.”

“I promise baby. I love you so much,” I said.

“I love you too Phil,” she answered as she smiled

I picked her up bridal style and dropped her on the couch. I missed her scent and the way her skin felt.

“I have an idea,” I said.

“What is it?” she asked with a look of confusion.

“I’m going to take you out for a romantic dinner and then we will go for a walk in the park,” he finally said.

“That would be perfect!” she exclaimed.

It was only 8:45 and our segment was done so we could go home.

“Meet me at the hotel room at 10:00,” I said firmly.

She kissed me goodbye and left.

*Alicia POV*

I hated being mad at Phil and I’m glad we made up.

For my outfit; I picked out a beautiful knee length dress. I chose a navy  lace sheath dress. It hugged my curves and I loved it. For my shoes, I decided on a pair of nude sledge pumps.

I decided to leave my makeup alone and I added a few more curls to my hair.

It was almost 10:00 so I left the room I shared with Randy and left him a note:

Randy,

Phil and I made up. I’m moving my stuff back into his room for the night. Went out to dinner. See you tomorrow for our flight to LV.

Love,

Leigh

Just as I was walking up to our room, Phil came out and looked handsome. He had on a pair of black jeans, a white dress shirt and Nikes. 

Phil loves his Nikes so I didn’t bother teasing him about them.

“You look Stunning as always,” he said as he pecked me on the cheek.

I pinned him against the wall and crashed my lips onto his. My tongue explored his mouth for a little bit before he pulled away.

“Save that for later,” he whispered.

We walked hand in hand to a fancy Italian restaurant. He pulled out my chair, like a gentleman.

We had begun looking at menus when we noticed some familiar faces walk in.

We saw Nikki and John. They noticed us too and Phil motioned for them to come over. 

The four of us sat in a huge booth together. We were chit chatting for a little bit.

“So how long have you two been dating?” I asked John.

“It was our one year anniversary a couple of days ago,” he answered with a smile. “I didn’t know you and Phil had a thing going on.”

“We’ve been dating for a month and a half,” Phil said as he squeezed my hand.

“Well good for you. I’m glad you guys found each other,” John said.

“You looked really impressive at Summerslam Leigh,” Nikki said.

“Aww, thanks Nicole. I’ve been working and training really hard these last few years,” I answered.

We chatted for the rest of our dinner. I was a little bummed that we weren’t alone, but It was not a huge deal.

Phil had the lasagna without the meat, and I had some fettuccini alfredo also without chicken. We paid the bill and said out goodbyes to Nikki and John.  

Phil and I walked hand in hand to the park he was talking about. It was a beautiful sight and we got lost in the rows of flowers. 

There was a spot overlooking a fountain and we stopped there.

“Phil?” I asked.

“What is it?” he responded.

“Are we moving too fast?” I wondered.

“I don’t think so. It’s not like we are getting married or anything,” he answered.

“Okay I was just making sure,” I said.

I pulled out my purse and got out two quarters. We were next to the fountain so why not?

“What are these for? He asked.

“Make a wish,” I said as I handed him one.

“I have everything I need,” he admitted.

“You sound so damn corny,” I teased.

We made wishes and threw our coins into the fountain.  I wished for happiness with Phil. 

“What’d you wish for?” he whispered as he took me into his arms.

“I can’t tell you or else it won’t come true,” I teased him.

“I wished for a hotter girlfriend,” he joked.

I smacked his arm and we began laughing so hard. Phil always knew how to make me laugh. We laid down on the grass together. 

“You make me so happy Phillip Jack Brooks,” I said as I was nuzzled in his chest.

“And you make me happy Alicia Hope Marquez,” he responded. 

We looked at stars for a while and looked for constellations but it was hard to see anything. We tried to make out shapes, but we just laughed at each other.

I took out my phone and took a picture of Phil and I lying in the grass together. He had his arms around me and he actually smiled in the picture.

I opened up my twitter app and captioned it :

Stargazing with my favorite guy <3

“I like that picture of us,” Phil said as he kissed my forehead.

“I guess we just officially came out as a couple. It won’t last long though. I like someone else,” I joked. 

“Oh really now?” he teased as he picked me up over his shoulders. I was laughing and giggling as he ‘threatened’ to GTS me. 

He finally put me down and kissed me lovingly.

*REVIEW PLEASE.
