A/N: This is my first wrestling fic that isn't centered around AJ and Punk. And this is set to be around the current year. I wasn't a wrestling fan back when Lita was in wrestling, so if I screw up her personality any I'll just say I'm sorry now.
This pairing is sort of becoming on of my favorites. John can be paired with just about anyone and I am a fan of Edge-Lita, but when I thought of John and Lita it sort of interested me more.
"How you two have kept this relationship from leaking is beyond me." Amy rolled her eyes as she watched the two cuddle together backstage.
"You know what really helps. You keep showing up around me outside this, so tons of people think we're dating." CM Punk answered her. A smug smirk on his lips since she was unwittingly helping them cover up the relationship from public eye.
Amy rolled her eyes. She doubted she and Punk had a chance together to beginning with. When they got together she really tried to make things work. But Punk didn't seem able to give the effort when his career was on such a roll-a-coaster. Everything seemed very forced for him when he did try. At one point she was sick of trying and they broke up.
Seeing him in the new relationship with the new General Manager and Diva to the WWE was kinda eye opening. She wanted to think it was because Punk's career was stable now compared to back then. But she knew that it was because it was AJ.
Amy tried to be mad about it. When Punk told her about it she gave him hell for doing the one thing he declared he wasn't going to do, at least until his career ended. And after weeks of being angry with Punk and Colt calling her saying she was being crazy. She then got a call from AJ.
Being mad at Punk was easy. Almost something people knew to do, just like breathing. But being mad at AJ...That was hard. When AJ called her they didn't even talk about Punk. AJ told her back to a time when she was younger and met her. Amy could remember then and she was amazed by it. Not every time when you meet a young fan that says they wanna be a wrestler that it would actually happen.
Lita felt pride in herself and AJ. So she got over all the false jealousy. It was only now that she was traveling with them that she saw how seamlessly they blended together. Even when they were fighting on-screen. Amy had watched Punk imply a hidden relationship. It wasn't like he was trying to reveal what they had, it was part of the script. And once he and AJ were backstage it was like nothing happened.
It amazed her how they could do all those things without even trying. She could never separate herself like they could. She knew in a part of her they weren't really separating themselves. After all the story like that had them in a triangle or square with Daniel and Kane had led to this close bond between them. Anytime someone asked them how long they'd been dating they gave different dates. They were hopeless.
"OK, I'm gonna go walk around for a while. Have fun sucking face."Amy was sure they didn't even hear her before she left the room. She glared at the shut door of the room she had just come from. "Horny teenagers." She muttered.
She started walked the halls of the building. It was still familiar to her as she walked along the crowded hallways. She didn't know why she was here anymore. Before she had been hanging around Punk to help with the DVD. Now it just seemed like she had nothing left to do. But she didn't have any thing to do if she went back either. So hanging around the place and people she had once treasured seemed like the best thing to do right now.
She still loved the business. She loved it too much really. When she was trashed both on-screen and off-screen, becoming a slut in everyone's eyes. She couldn't stand it anymore. She left and she didn't plan to return to the on-screen stage either. Her fans were calling for it, but she couldn't put herself through that stress again. She refused to.
"Hey Red."
Amy turned around seeing 'Super Cena'. He didn't look any different from the time they had worked together. The only thing that changed was the color of his shirt and spider like tape on his arm.
"Hey." She said. She and John had never been close. She never wanted to be. Didn't mean she hated him though. "Shouldn't you be doing physical therapy?" She looked questionably at his arm. He kept saying he was gonna be ready for the next Pay-per-view to face Punk, but she had doubts.
"Already done. Feeling better each day." John gave that said dimple-cheeked smile that she and so many other had seen thousands of times. And every time she saw it she could not get that strange feeling out of her gut. "So, getting sick of watching Punk and AJ swap spit?" He asked.
"Yes!" Amy answered without hesitation. Both of them erupting in laughter. She didn't know why John was being so nice to her, but she could use someone to talk to that wasn't one of the lovey dovey couple.
Amy's cheeks hurt. John and her had been talking all night it seemed. He only had one segment that night. Amy had actually been anxious when she waited for him to finish.
She never realized how funny John was before. Maybe because before all his jokes were aimed at her. Plus those were scripted. He was suppose to make her into a whore...Well more of one than she had made herself. She had been bitter about it then. Now it seemed like a far off dream as she almost fell off the chair as John told her a story about a time when he and Randy traveled together.
"John, why would you puke on the bed?" She questioned. She was trying her hardest to get rid of the laughter in her throat, but she wasn't having any luck on the matter.
"I didn't exactly know where I was...Randy was pissed off too." John's eyes glinted as he remember those years back in his career when he and Randy actively traveled together. "Course that was probably because that was his bed...And he was in it when I puked."
Amy erupted into more laughter as doubled over in her chair chuckling her aching middle as the laughter took away her breath. She didn't even notice how John's smile widened as he watched her amusement at his story. This was a blissful moment that Amy never imagined having around John. But apparently she was wrong.
"Amy!"
Her laughter stopped and she looked at AJ who was coming up to them, dragging along an annoyed Punk. She smiled to them. But she couldn't get out the feeling like she was doing something she wasn't suppose to. Like she was five and got her hand caught in a cookie jar before dinner...Still it didn't stop her from wanting to do more of it.
"Hi John." AJ greeted when they got closer. But her attention quickly focused on Amy. "The show is done and we were gonna head back to the hotel now. Since someone is grumpy that he's going be fed to a Ryback." AJ made a teasing look to Punk.
Punk looked unamused by his girlfriend's humor at the moment. "I wouldn't even have to face Ryback if everyone wasn't so paranoid about John not being ready for the match. Couldn't have picked a better time to get a surgery Cena." Punk said coldly.
"I knew you'd miss me." John stood and wrapped his good arm around Punk's shoulders. He made a move like he was gonna kiss Punk's cheek, but Punk quickly dodged away and got out of his grasp. Taking a defensive position behind AJ.
"If you think that's gonna make it better then don't." Punk said coldly.
AJ giggled lightly. Turning her head around she placed her own lips on Punk's cheek. "Play nice." She ordered before looking back to Amy. "You ready to go?" She asked. Ignoring Punk's movements as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Ummm..."Amy wasn't sure. She looked at AJ and Punk, then to John. She didn't really want to go yet, but it wasn't like she had any other ride. So she stood from her seat silently agreeing to leave.
Before she could get anywhere John's hand found her wrist. "I was gonna invite Amy to hang out. I was meeting with Randy, Zack and some of the other guys soon." John said. His eyes weren't even on Amy, but Punk and AJ.
"Who's driving?" Punk asked. He knew the routine with these guys and he sometimes made trips out with them where he would drive since he knew he was gonna be the only one not drinking.
"Randy, he's coming from Sacramento to hang out. Plus he's trying to stay clean after his last suspension." John explained.
"OK." Punk said already starting to walk away.
"Do you wanna go with John, Amy?" AJ asked waiting to see Amy's answer before she left also.
"Umm..." Amy looked between AJ and John. She didn't even know how she did it, but she gave a small nod telling AJ she would go with John.
"OK, have fun." AJ smiled at her before trotting off after Punk, who had actually stopped an waited not far away for her.
Amy watched their backs intently as they left. Punk keeping a close distance between himself and AJ. AJ keeping just as close to Punk.
Amy remembered back to when she and Punk tried to hold hands and watch. It only felt awkward to both of them so it ended faster than it started...Just like their relationship.
"Do you still have feelings for him?" John's voice asked breaking her from her thoughts.
Amy's first indication was to say, 'No'. Which was honest, she was over Punk. They had been together for a long time, but in most of that time they weren't even around each other. And when they were they never seemed to get along like they used to. She wanted more from Punk than he was willing to give.
Really the only major difference from the time they had been just friends was that they had sex...And no matter how good or bad the sex was, it wasn't enough to make either of them want to keep the relationship going. They were suppose to be friends and that was it.
The thing that stopped her was John's expression. She expected something like a smug and knowing look. But he looked tense and worried. Like he was afraid of her answer. She didn't know why he had that expression, but she wanted to find out.
"If I am?" She questioned back at him. Her voice mischievous and flirtatious. She made it sort of obvious, not with her tone or body language; Really just trying to tease John with the words alone.
The dimpled smile returned to his face. Her breath caught in her throat as he leaned towards to what she thought was going to be a kiss for a moment before he tilt to the side his breath warming her ear. "I guess I'll have to make you forget."
A/N:...I'm hopeless for this pairing now. Sadly there aren't many fics for it. It's like back months ago when AJPunk were still such a small fandom, just I don't think this one is gonna be booming with new fics anytime soon...sadly.
