Thought I'd try my hand at an AJ fic. Don't own any characters and so on. Based on the song I know you're gonna be there by Luke Bryan. Enjoy!

I'm gonna put on my new shirt,
shine up these old boots.
Take a deep breath,
try to keep my cool.
I know you're gonna be there.

The thing about Allen is that he didn't care to look at the new talent. They were just there to wrestle with, have a laugh and a joke maybe. But then he'd head home and that's where his whole world lived. His kids. He should consider the mother of his children. he was in love with her before everything happened. He couldn't keep his eyes wandering over the brunette over the otherside of catering. She was stood laughing and talking with Nattie. He had only met her a handful of times, she seemed nice, genuine. Unlike the rest of the Diva roster. Her name was Jessica, and she was from the indies.

"So are you and Paige from the same place?" Nattie asked and Jessica laughed pretty hard.

"England is a pretty big island Nattie" She responded patting her on the arm before walking off with her sandwich.

"Y'know correct me if I'm wrong, but you've been starin' pretty hard at Nattie" Drew nudged him wiggling his eyebrows. Allen about choked on his food and shook his head.

"Hell naw, I was just starin' into space" Allen responded with a frown and shoved Drew hard "Doofus".

Jessica laced up her boots and pulled on her kickpad covers. She hadn't been here long and boy was it different from the other places she had worked. She had made her way up through the chain of British wrestling. Yet when she arrived everyone thought she was ripping off Paige. She didn't see how, they were two opposite ends of the scales. She had worked pretty damn hard to get where she had to be, she didn't think that she would be accepted at all. However she was coaxed by the other divas to appear on a few episodes of Total Diva's and get to know everyone. The experience did help a little, however she found it was limiting her friendship circle.

They had made it pretty obvious you were not allowed to talk to any of the guys unless you had someone with you, that the guys didnt like to be harassed or spoken to. Only friends of Daniel and Jon would be acceptable. Jessica snorted, she was in crazy town.

She walked down the hallway and sighed when she noticed cameras following her. She stated she would only give raw footage, there would be no storylines, if her life had drama worth filming then so be it, but she would not be participating in the next relationship fuck up John and Nikki had for the show.

"I'm not sure what's so interesting about me walking to the gorilla.." She mumbled to the cameras.

She turned a corner and collided with a hard chest, she put her hands up to cover herself and ended up slapping them off the chest pretty damn hard.

"God damn woman" Allen winced meekly, it didn't hurt but it stung a little out of surprise. He seen it ws Jessica and his expression became almost stupid. He shuffled on his feet from side to side as he grabbed her to make sure she wasn't hurt.

"I am so sorry, I pretty much just chopped you" She responded, she put her hand on the small red patch on his chest. SHe felt him grab her wrists and she blushed. "And you also can't just go be touching mens chests" She said to herself and looked at him with a sigh "Sorry"

"Oh no no, that wasn't me being offended or..." Allen mumbled and sighed scratching his head. He frowned when he seen the camera men surrounding her at each and every angle. "Are they botherin' you?"

"These guys? Naww, they are just on hand for next time I get clumsy and hit someone" She said with a smile. Allen grinned back and took her hand, leading her away from the peering cameras. He knew they would be filming afar but he would rather not fuck up on tape.

"I've got some microphone on Allen" She giggled in a hushed tone. She pulled it off her clothes and put it to her mouth. "Watch this" She mouthed. She then yelled into the microphone really loud and laughed as she watched the camera and the sound guy cringe away, yelling her name.

"Sorry! Can't control her" Allen grinned holding his hands up in surrender to the camera guys before they turned and walked off.

"I'm sorry again for walking into you and slapping you. So so dumb" She muttered.

"Do all British people apologise this much?"

"Well, if I'm anything to judge by, probably quite a bit" She laughed "Whatcha wanna talk about anyway?"

Jessica was very aware she was alone in the corridor with Allen. She had been watching his promos and his interviews throughout growing up herself and was slightly overwhelmed he had pulled her to the side. She also remembered how bad her reputation would be if any of the divas found out.

"I know it's hard to get involved with people in this business. But if you want, I could mentor you or. " He sighed and ruffled his hair again "I don't mean that you need it or anythin'. I'm just saying if you need someone to talk to..." Jessica's smile became wider as she watched as he got frustrated with himself. She took his hand and gave it a squeeze.

"Allen, I would love for you to be my first proper friend. And to train with you would be an honor" He frowned and started kicking himself mentally, she said she had to rush to the ring and left him sat there.

"God damn friends bullshit" He growled kicking the box he was stood by. "You damn old man."

It had been a few weeks and Allen had stuck to his promise of keeping her company and helping her train. They went to the developmental site most of the time to train. Which benefitted her matches, however some of the female talent were finding it hard to understand what her game was.

"So you've got them in a sleeper right?" Allen grabbed Jessica's left arm and rolled her over him, keeping her arm securely wrapped around his own. She lay on her back watching him swing round her before he rolled her onto her front. She was mesmerized watching him, and that damn chest.

"Now I'm gonna wrap your arm around me and move round you again" He shifted her arm over his waist and moved over her, rolling her onto her shoulders as he went for a pin. She kicked out of the tight hold and laughed as he pretended to be shocked.

"That's a good little spot you got going on there" Jessica heard another female voice perk up. She looked over to see Eva stood outside the ring, leaning on the ropes grinning. Jessica knew that she was not concentrating on her. She looked back to Allen who was wiping himself with a towel and sighed. She couldn't blame her, he was gorgeous.

"You ready to go for round two Jones?" She asked and he grinned motioning her to lock up with him.

Allen had to admit, this girl was making him want to run to the hills. His feelings for her were getting a bit too rooted. But he didn't want to lie to himself, he knew as soon as he seen her that this was gonna happen. Wendy didn't want him no more, she expressed that everytime he went home, yet she wasn't going to divorce him anytime soon and he didn't want to hurt his kids, they were his world.

"Whatcha thinkin bout cowboy" Jessica asked as she had him in a chokehold.

"How you need to apply more pressure baby" He drawled getting out of her hold and pulling her down into an armbar. Jessica tapped and watched as Allen helped her up, she looked up into his eyes and blushed. She turned to get her waterbottle and sighed. She was in deep trouble.

"Aw shit."
