A surprise awaits you at the bottom. Enjoy!
AJ Lee awoke the next morning with a huge and quite blissful smile on her face. The previous night had been an amazing one for the petite Diva, and it had started to stir back up old feelings that she hadn't felt in quite a long time. She had gone to a business dinner with John Cena, and while that might have been what you wanted to call it, they talked anything but business. It wasn't like anything had happened by any means, but boy did she wish it did. Waffle House was a great location, John was great company, and Mo was a great host. Yawning as she stretched her limbs, her nose picked up a familiar scent over her body. A very masculine scent with some cologne that had been sprayed slightly. AJ smiled.
John. She remembered his generosity and kindness of allowing her to use his shower and when hers got screwed up, the way his arms felt around her body when she nestled in close to him, his large arms giving her that feeling of protection she felt she so desperately needed deep down in her heart of hearts. As she got dressed in her corporate business attire, she decided to check her phone and saw that she had two messages. Her heart pounded immediately with excitement and giddiness as the first one was from John. It read: "Hey April, I mean boss. Aha, anyway had t head out early for an autograph signing and then a visit to the doc so I won't see ya till Raw. Feel free to use anything in my hotel room you see fit. And I also ordered room service for you. Hope you like pancakes! See you soon Ms. Lee.
Love, John"
If her heart didn't stop pounding soon, she knew it was going to literally explode right out of her chest. And another feeling overcame her as well; emotion. Tears began to roll down her cheeks unknowingly. Was it possible that anybody could ever be this nice? It just didn't seem possible. But this was John Cena she was thinking about. The man who was always down for a righteous cause, had granted over 300 wishes for the Make-A-Wish foundation, and was a role model for many around the world. Leader, hero, savior. Good ol' John Cena. And AJ was starting to fall harder for him than she had ever fell for anybody in her life.
After saving the first message, AJ moved on to the next message, which happened to be from; surprise surprise Vince McMahon? It read: "AJ we need you at Titan Tower. Emergency meeting about your status as GM." And just when she was about to hit that high note, everything took an utter steep drop. She grabbed her bags and headed out but not before updating her Twitter.
WWEAJLee: Just called to an emergency meeting at Titan Tower. #BusinessChecks
John shook the doctor's hand and left the trainer's room with a smile on his face for the first time all day. The doctor had told him he wouldn't be able to compete at Hell In A Cell but he would be able to start competing in house show matches when the WWE went overseas the next week for some shows in Europe. As he walked down the corridor, he noticed a small group of Superstars gathering around a TV at catering, watching the screen intently. His curiosity getting the better of him, John mosied on over to where they were and when he directed his eyes to the screen, his eyes went into to collective shock. There stood AJ, in the ring with Vince McMahon, which John knew couldn't be good news. He tapped Justin Gabriel on the shoulder. "Yo Justin, do you know what's going on?" Justin quickly nodded his head. "Apparently Vince is making AJ resign as GM. They said she had an affair with a Superstar," he said solemnly. John shook his head in slight confusion as to register just what his ears had heard. "What? An affair?! With who?" His voice came out a bit more worried than he had intended it to. "They don't know man, but apparently the evidence is stacked pretty high against her," Gabriel finished. John felt like a heavy blow had been delivered to his stomach as he listened to AJ recall her stories of when she was young and out on the streets, trying to survive, and it tore at him deeply on the inside. Somehow, someway, he felt that in a way that this was his fault, and wanted to set out to correct it. Before he could go, the TV caught his eye one last time as Vince introduced AJ's replacement: Vickie Guerrero. That was the final straw. He flipped the entire catering table over, others watching on as he walked away. This day sucked.
Everybody was doing their best backstage to try and cheer up the former GM AJ Lee. From Kofi Kingston to Zack Ryder to even Team Hell No, each had tried a different method to cheer her up, and all had utterly failed. Now up right now was Santino, doing his best to get AJ to smile again, but at this point AJ was just too tired. She had been crying for about 45 minutes now, and there was only one person at this point who she knew would help cheer her up, easily. John Cena.
As if a fairy godmother above had heard AJ's silent wish, a deep voice cleared his throat, announcing his presence. Santino knew exactly that that was his cue to leave, so he took off in the funny walking motion that only Santino could do.
After he was gone, John looked at AJ, and AJ looked at him. There was a silence in the air, but this silence was not awkward. This silence was one of understanding. "Hey AJ."
"Hey John." John sighed before speaking again. "I just want to let you know, if you need anything, anything at all, just let me know," John offered. AJ inwardly smiled, because he was doing it again, with that gentleman-like attitude and cute charm. "Thanks John, I really appreciate it," she said back.
John nodded. "So how you hloding up?"
"I think I'll be fine. To be honest, I knew something like this would happen sooner or later," she said, as if in defeat. A surprised look came over John's face when he heard those words. Why would she give up without a fight? She never gave up...like him in a sense. "Yeah...and you just let it go, like why? All we have to do is find another witness in the locker room, and get their side of the story, then it becomes he said she said, and then it becomes all just allegations and you got your job back just like that and you just gave up out there," John finally said. E had said his piece, but the shocker had yet to come. "John...there was a superstar involved," AJ said. "Who?" AJ took a deep breath before preparing to deliver the news. "It was you."
She allowed him time to process the statement she had just gave him before John delivered an astounding "WHAT? Are they talking about the business dinner we had? That was just that, a business dinner. How can somebody make something of that?" AJ shook her head. "I just don't know John, I just don't." Her voice started to crack and shades of mascara were falling down her face as a bundle of tears she tried to hold back just came bursting forth. Just like last night, John once again opened up his arms and AJ pushed herself into them immediately, wanting to be in her sanctuary of John's embrace and nothing more. "I'm going to fix this AJ. I promise, I'm gonna take care of it," John solemnly swore.

After some unsuccessful attempts at visiting both Vince and Vickie, John sighed in defeat as he headed over to his car and sat down in the driver's seat. "Any luck?" AJ asked, a glimmer of hope in her eyes. John shook his head, and sank down into his seat. He didn't even want to look at her, and show how dissappointed he was. Instead, she tilted his seat back all the way to where John was streched completely horizontal, and then proceeded to climb on top of him and rest her head on his chest. "John, you're my best friend you know that right?" John nodded. "Thank you for trying to help me tonight. I appreciate you so much," she said with a small smile. John smiled back at her before exhaustion overcame him and he fell asleep. Wrapping his arms around her like a blanket, she tinted the windows dark and fell asleep on him as well. Tomorrow would be another day, but all AJ could think about was two things. Getting a job back with the WWE, and how much she wanted to take things to the next level with John Cena.
Okay so I love reader interactivity and what I have planned for the next chap: John Cena faces the WWE and universe. You get to ask the questions this time though! So if you have a question, leave it in your review or PM it to me :) thanks and see you soon! Review!
