AJ woke up the next morning, hugging into her pillow lying on her stomach, alone in bed and confused. Surely he didn't get up and leave early, that would have been slightly rude in her view, but just as she sat up in bed, holding the sheets against her body, she heard someone walk in the door, she smiled seeing him walk by the bedroom. Since her house was all on the one level and it was quite small, her bedroom looked on into the living room.

She grabbed a think, silk dressing grown that she barely wore from her wardrobe, wrapping it around her naked body and tying the string around it. She looked in the mirror before she left the room, bumping her hair up and taking the sleep away from her eyes, not wanting Punk to be put off by her morning look, which she was disappointed she didn't get to see his morning hair that he banged on about all the time, she'd see it one day she supposed.

Walking out of the room, she smelt coffee and the muffin she always got when they went for breakfast. Little things like that showed her that he paid attention.

She was still so in love with their moment they shared last night, she was still so in love with last night if she was being honest, everything went so smooth and perfect, like it was meant to be, she was lucky to have such a caring and amazing man like him in her life.

"You're up." Punk smiled, noticing her slowly walk into the kitchen with her arms folded. Even just waking up she looked like an angel, the way her hair was messy but yet looked so good just sprawled out over her face and down her back, and how her face was pale and natural, even though she didn't tend to wear a lot of make up anyway.

"Yeah." AJ smiled, tucking her hair behind her ear and walking over in front of him, taking the coffee from his hand with a smile as she turned and dug into the brown paper bag, Punk behind her smiling to himself.

"How's your leg?" AJ turned to him, leaning against the counter as she devilishly smiled towards him, holding the coffee cup against her mouth to hide the sly smile she was making.

"I think it's a lot better." Punk nodded, looking down at his clearly fine leg, it was still stiff but nothing a week of walking and exercising wouldn't get rid of.

"Good." AJ nodded, "Good." She smiled as she turned back round to face her back to Punk, putting a bit of muffin elegantly in her mouth, feeling two pair of arms wrap themselves around her waist from behind.

"How was last night for you?" He asked curiously, his chin resting on her shoulder as he hugged her from behind. From waking up this morning to her beautiful face, he just had replays of their night before spent together and how perfect it was.

"It was amazing." AJ smiled, leaning her back against his stomach, turning her face to the side and planting a gentle kiss on his cheek.

"You are amazing." Punk smiled as he felt her lips on his cheek.

Later that day…

After AJ had to head out to work, Punk left to go see Dean and Seth since he knew it was their day off. He was still having replays of the night before with AJ, the urge to do it all again was coming on strong, but he was sure they'd wind up doing it again somehow.

"Boys." Punk announced as he walked into the apartment door.

"You alright?" Dean nodded, sitting on the sofa watching TV.

"Yeah, where's Seth?" Punk asked, taking an apple from the fruit basket on his way in, eventually sitting down across from Dean, concentrating on his apple.

"I don't even know man. I got up and he was gone, no note or anything." Dean shrugged.

"Is his stuff gone?" Punk raised his eyebrow.

"No." Dean said like he was stupid, "Don't be stupid… I don't know man, he keeps disappearing secretly, I hear him get up during the night sometimes, he's always getting phone calls and walking away to take them." Dean shook his head, looking back and forth from the TV to Punk.

"Maybe he has a girl… just doesn't want to tell us." Punk suggested, which seemed like the case.

"True." Dean nodded at the idea, "But what's the need to hide it from us?" Dean shook his head at Seth's behaviour, "Anyway… how's things going with AJ?" He asked him.

"Good... great." Punk nodded with a smile, "Have you both still not…" Dean waved his hands about.

"We did. Last night." Punk said, wondering why he was having this conversation with Dean.

"Was she good?" Dean raised his eyebrows with a large smile.

"What do you mean was she good?" Punk looked at him like he was an idiot, "Nah but seriously man, realest sex I've ever had in my life." Punk leaned back on the chair.

"Yeah, cause all the sex you had before was fake." Dean chuckled.

"Maybe not the sex, but the girls were." Punk said, getting a cushion and throwing it at Dean, hitting him square in the face, "You know what I mean dammit." He said as Dean chuckled to himself, "I told her I loved her."

Dean dropped the cushion as well as his smile, "You did what?" He didn't know if he heard right.

"I told my girlfriend that I love her." Punk said.

"Dude…" Dean shook his head pointing to Punk, "They words fuck up with girls minds, you think you told her you love her? She thinks you told her you want to get married and have a house together and have loads of little ugly punk children."

"Oh shut up, Dean." Punk shook his head, "She isn't like that."

"That's what we all say." Dean said, turning his attention back to the TV.

"Anyway…" Punk said, "Isn't it about time you admit to me how you really feel about Renee?" Punk smiled to Dean , "I see you, spraying on that cologne like there's no tomorrow, buying her flowers, dressing nicer than usual, doing something with that mop of hair on your head." Punk said, fluttering his eyelashes at Dean.

"Shut up." Dean said, laughing as he turned away embarrassed, "I like her. I really like her." He said to himself, "Maybe I love her… but I'm not telling her right now." He said before Punk could say anything, "I'll wait."

"Fine, whatever." Punk shook his head with a laugh, "Don't want to keep her waiting."

Later that night…

Punk had enjoyed a quiet night in at his house with AJ, they done their usual DVD night that they hadn't done in a while and AJ ended up staying the night, history repeating itself, but she was certainly not complaining.

About 15 minutes away, Dean had just gone off to bed when he heard Seth creep into the apartment. Ready to attack him like a hawk, he jumped back out of his room and began questioning.

"Where the hell have you been all day?" Dean asked him, there was no easy explanation to be gone from 6am in the morning to 11pm at night.

"I was… I was working." Seth nodded.

"Bullshit… your day off is today." Dean said, he knew this stuff and he knew when Seth was lying, "It's a girl, isn't it?" Dean smiled.

"What?" Seth shook his head.

"You've got a girlfriend, yeah… the leaving all the time, the secret phone calls, you have a girl and you don't want me or Punk to know because you think we'll embarrass you." Dean said, he had sussed everything out, it all made sense.

"I don't have a girlfriend." Seth shook his head, "Wh-Where are you getting this all from?" Seth asked him, both of them standing in the living room.

"Me and Punk worked it out today. It's the only explanation to all of this." Dean said, folding his arms.

"Alright Einstein, just because you two are both hooked on these girls, doesn't mean I have or need to go get one. Ok?" Seth said, trying to make himself clear as Dean just stood, in a foul mood now.

"Alright, so what the fuck is your explanation?" Dean asked.

"I was going to tell you both together, but since you're insisting on knowing… I'm planning to get back on the guys that killed Claire." Seth said, folding his arms and looking at Dean.

"The guys… the guys that were in the gang?" Dean asked as Seth just nodded, "Are you fucking crazy, you're going to kill yourself out there!" Dean screamed.

"You misunderstood me." Seth shook his head, "I'm not going alone… You and Punk are coming with me." Seth said, looking across to Dean who just stared blankly at him.
