Hola amigos, I have so many ideas swarming in my head for AJ and CM Punk right now, so I decided to make another story, haha!
Disclaimer: I DO NOT own WWE or any of the characters mentioned in this story.
April wiped her sweaty palms against her two-piece outfit. She was finally here, on the brink of living her dream. She, April Jeanette Mendez, was on WWE's NXT. Her heart pounded rapidly as she thought about it. The joy and nerves she felt could bring her to tears, but she couldn't think about that right now. Right now, she was AJ Lee, an NXT contestant and future diva of WWE. She had no idea where this would lead to, and she was on a long journey to find out...
April let out the breath she hadn't realized she had been holding in. These first nights on NXT were amazing, just as she had dreamed and wished for all those years. She was proud of her winnings that day, especially her speech on caffeine.
She walked backstage, heading to the locker room to pack up and head out for the night when her phone slipped from her hand, crashing to the floor. She quickly bent down to pick it up when- bam! Her head collided into a hard surface, making her fall backward onto her rear.
"Ow fuck!" AJ cursed, holding her forehead in pain.
"OH shit, I'm sorry! I saw you dropped your phone, I guess we had the same idea." She looked up to see none other than CM Punk, a wrestler she was an undoubtedly huge fan of. She cheeks burned with embarrassment, but he held out his hand for her and pulled her up from the floor.
"It's ok, thanks for attempting anyway." She quipped back. He chuckled, handing her the phone.
"Hey, it's...AJ, right?" He squinted slightly. Secretly, he knew it was her. He didn't know if it was because of her spunky hyper attitude, her love of all things nerdy, or just her physical attractiveness, but something about her drew her to him ever since he laid eyes on her. He knew it sounded extremely cliche and cheesy, which is why he'd never speak of word of it, but he certainly couldn't deny that she wasn't like the other NXT divas. He had kept a close eye on her throughout her days here, and even went as far as stating his obvious interest in some "natural dynamite" as she liked to call herself.
"Y-yeah, that's me. And you're CM Punk." She stuttered out, completely starstruck. It was really him in the flesh. She couldn't help herself and took in his appearance. His broad body, tatted arms and chest, the subtle beard leading up to his lip-piercing, and finally, his varying shades of green orbs. She'd be lying if she said just his appearance wasn't enough to turn her on.
"Yeah. So, I've seen a lot of your work so far. You should keep it up, you're doing great." He complimented her.
"Really!" Knowing a WWE wrestler was telling her this was awe-inspiring. She couldn't believe the words coming from his mouth.
"Of course. You stand out, you're unique, funny, and let's not forget, hot." He was a known lady's man, and didn't even try to hide his open flirting. AJ was speechless, was she hearing him right? If she wasn't as fed as a tomato before, she certainly was now.
"Uhm...thanks." She bit her lip, avoiding direct eye contact with him. He smirked a knowing look, noting how nervous she was. He internally chuckled.
"So, I have a bunch of games in my bus, if you wanna you know, hang out tonight." He gave another suggesting smirk, licking his bottom lip quickly. AJ's mouth opened slightly as she quickly caught on to his offer. Even though she was sure it was the greatest opportunity she'd had in a while, besides WWE as a whole of course, it was no secret that Punk got around. She knitted her eyebrows together, figuring all the flirting was just for a quick jump in her pants, and she wasn't that type of girl. Although she was more than flattered, she'd never stoop so low. She did have standards after all.
"I'd love to but, I just can't tonight." He immediately picked up her disappointed tone and mentally kicked himself. Why did he have to be such a horn dog?
"That's alright firecracker. I'll still be around, whenever you need something just let me know." She seemed like a really cool chick, and he didn't want to ruin any potential friendship with her by blowing her off.
"Sure, thanks. And firecracker?" She questioned his nickname for her.
"Yeah, you are natural dynamite after all." She blushed as she remembered that he did happen to be commenting that night.
"Oh, right. Well, thanks again Punk." He nodded as she gave him one last smile before heading toward the locker room.
What April wasn't prepared for was just how much her and Punk would end up needing each other.
Where do you think this is headed? Please review and let me know what you thought!
