"You have no idea how happy I am to know we're done with these stupid comics…" Punk said, watching AJ place the box of comics over in the corner.
"Hey, don't call comics stupid." AJ said, throwing a cushion at AJ.
"Ok, I'm going to get the pizza, it's literally across the road, you'll be ok with them?" AJ asked.
"Yeah." Punk smiled, watching AJ smile at him and walk away out.
Punk in the next few minutes, was enjoying some peace and quiet, his eyes shut closed, listening to the rain fall down the window outside. Of course his few minutes of quietness ended when he heard Nick scream like a girl from Harli's room. He then saw him sprinting into the living room, Harli with a spider in her hand, chasing him.
Punk jumped off the chair, hiding behind the back of it, he hated spiders. Little hairy legs, big disgusting eyes, it made him shiver.
For a quiet little girl, she sure was friendly with the spiders.
"Get it away!" Nick pointed, hiding behind the curtain, "Dad, make her put it away…" Nick said, in almost a cry.
"Harli… Harli… can you go into the toilet and put the spider down the pan?" Punk asked her sweetly, still standing behind the couch.
"But it will drown…"Harli pouted, looking at the spider.
"It won't. You'll send it to, a fun park, with chutes and stuff for spiders, yeah… they have all sorts of rides…" Punk said.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Nick said, screwing his eyes up in confusion at his father, still hiding behind the curtain.
"Shut up… do you want her to throw it at you…" Punk said.
"Ok… you promise?" Harli smiled.
"I promise sweetheart… off you go…" Punk said, pointing to the toilet.
Harli smiled, walking away and into the toilet, placing the spider in the water in the toilet.
"Have fun, Mr Spider…" Harli smiled, flushing the spider away.
Both Punk and Nick came out of hiding, relieved that the spider was away, clearly Punk had passed his fear on to his son.
"And you told me she was quiet…" Nick said.
"Were you crying?" Punk laughed, looking at the tear in the corner of his eye.
"What?" Nick said, "No…" He said, wiping his eye. "I just had something in my eye." He said.
"You were crying!" Punk roared with laughter.
Nick watched his father start to impersonate him, pretending he was crying, reaching over and wiping his eyes.
Nick just walked over to the box with all the comics, stacked all in order, taking it and lifting it up.
"Don't dare…" Punk warned.
Nick just smirked, tipping the whole box upside down, watching all the comics' splat out on the floor.
"That's it… your ass is dead!" Punk shouted, going for Nick who ran away into Harli's room where she was sitting on her bed.
Punk walked into Harli's room, looking at Nick under her bed.
"Harli… do you have any other spiders?" Punk said, watching Nick get out from under the bed.
"It was just a joke… don't be mad…" Nick smiled.
Punk made him lie down on the floor and he sat on top of him, slapping his face every time he tried to speak, of course not hard, it was all a joke. He would never dare raise his hand on purpose to any child. Especially not his own.
"You're squashing me… I can't breathe…" Nick moaned, laughing a little too, trying to push his father off him.
Punk was surprised to feel a pair of arms wrap round his neck, noticing it was Harli he automatically stood up straight, looking down at her.
"Don't hurt him!" Harli shouted up at Punk.
"Sorry m'am…" Punk laughed.
"You tell him…" Nick coughed.
Punk just laughed, as well as Nick.
Harli looked at both of them, she figured it was all just a joke and this man wasn't really trying to hurt Nick, so she joined in laughing.
Punk looked at the little girl laughing just like her mother, she was a gorgeous little girl.
Later that night…
After AJ came back with the pizza and the four of them tucked in, Punk saw it start to get dark outside, figuring he couldn't possibly stay another night at AJ's, he told Nick it was time to go home.
"No… let him stay…" Harli pleaded.
AJ was shocked to say the least, her daughter hadn't be so talkative since she started playing with Nick.
"Sorry sweetie, we have to go home." Punk frowned.
"He can stay if you like…" AJ smiled, up at Punk.
"No… I can't leave him with you, he's a nightmare." Punk said, getting a glare from Nick.
"You can pick him up in the morning. You've been really sweet to me these past days. It's the least I could do…" AJ said.
"Well… it's up to you little man…" Punk said to Nick.
"Can you not stay too?" Nick said.
"I need to go see if Dean's still alive…" Punk said.
"I'll just come with you…" Nick said, he didn't know if he trusted AJ enough to stay with her without his dad's supervision.
Punk nodded, "Thanks anyway…" Punk smiled to AJ, it wasn't every day someone offered to look after Nick.
"Well… it's been a fun few days…" AJ smiled, walking Punk and Nick out.
"It has…" Punk smiled, helping Nick with his jacket.
"I guess, I'll see you soon." AJ smiled.
"Yeah, I'll see you soon." Punk nodded, going to kiss her cheek when AJ turned, pecking him on the lips.
Nick's mouth dropped, making an O shape.
Punk coughed awkwardly, "Um… yeah, we best get going…" Punk said, pushing Nick forward to move.
"Bye…" AJ smiled when she felt Harli push by her and run to Nick, giving him a tight hug.
AJ aw'd as well as Punk and Nick secretly hugged her back.
Harli ran back in to the house, hiding behind her mother.
AJ smiled, watching Punk put Nick on his shoulders, walking away and down to the bottom floor, out of the apartment.
Nick couldn't believe it still, she kissed him, she kissed his dad on the lips.
"Are you nuts…" Nick said, on Punks shoulders, holding on to his head.
"What?" Punk said.
"She kissed you… she kissed you and you coughed…" Nick said.
"Says the one who didn't hug the three year old little sweetheart back." Punk said.
"I did actually, you just couldn't see my arm…" Nick rolled his eyes.
"You just keep your focus on your action figures and game cards, not on my love life thank you very much…" Punk said.
After another few minutes of walking, they finally reached the apartment where Nick got down from Punks shoulders, walking into the apartment first and making another O shape with his mouth. The whole place was empty.
Punk followed behind and looked around. What the hell had happened in here and where the hell was Dean. He looked in all of the bedrooms, no beds, no clausets, no couch or TV, the whole place was empty, apart from a note attached to the wall.
So yeah, we got evicted, I've been contacting you for two days and you've ignored me. Where the hell are you both? Anyway, I'm at Seth's staying. Show up if you like. They took everything, I packed up some of your belongings as well as Nicks and your clothes, come round and get it. Maybe if your nice Seth will let you stay. Thanks for ignoring my phone calls and texts. I assume you were too busy with your new girlfriend. Anyway, what's done is done. I'll see you soon.
Dean.
Punk took out his phone that had ran out of battery a few days ago, remembering that AJ didn't have a spare charger, he just ditched it, not thinking Dean would need him. He ripped up the note and punched the wall.
"Dad… where's our stuff?" Nick asked, putting a worried face on and looking around the empty apartment.
