John and AJ arrived back at the hotel. AJ had requested a suite for herself and John. She couldn't wait to show him what they had done inside.

"My eyes are closed down tight," John said.

"Good, no peeking," said AJ. She used her card to open the door. When they were both inside she threw her stuff at the side and closed the door behind them. "Alright, you can open your eyes."

John opened his eyes to see a huge suite, done up from the curtains to the large king-sized bed that had rose petals on the comforter. The curtains were drawn to the side to show a beautiful night view of the city, the table was set for two with bottles of champagne, dimmed lights some shining red, and flowers.

"Wow…AJ, I…"

AJ shyly looked up at him. "Do you hate it?"

"Hate it? I love it, it's amazing."

"I asked the manager to have the suite ready by the time we came back."

John removed his cap. He turned and took her hands in his. "I love it." He leaned in and gave her a long kiss.

"I'm glad," she said, her arms around him. "So, before we have dinner, why don't we get cleaned up." She was getting that look of lust her in eyes as they stared at each other. "The jacuzzi's all warmed up…with bubbles." John couldn't help himself, he leaned down for another kiss, but AJ turned her head away. She looked at him grinning. "Come on." She took his hand led him into the suite bathroom.

The bathroom was only lit up by a wall lamp and candles that surrounded the tub. The water glimmered through the bubbles and the red petals floated. The two stripped down to their undergarments and sat in the tub. John held AJ in his arms. She only let him steal a few kisses while they sat and enjoyed each other's company just talking, joking, with a glass of wine in hand. She wanted to save the best for last for the Cenation Leader, her superhero.

After soaking in the jacuzzi, and after a romantic dinner, AJ led John into the bedroom. She turned around and looked at him. She wasn't showing any shyness this time.

"John…I want you to make love to me."

John looked at AJ with all seriousness in his eyes. He sighed and held her close in his arms. "Are you sure?" He knew how fragile and shaken up she was the last time they were close to having sex.

"Yes, I've never been so sure in my life," she said. "You've been," she sighed, "just amazing…no one in my life has ever made me feel so loved as much as you have. And I know things haven't been easy for you in the last year at work and with your divorce, but—

John put a finger to her lips, silencing her. "Sweetheart…when my marriage crumbled, I thought relationships weren't for me. But AJ, you've given me so much. And…" he chuckled scratching the back of his head, "I honestly gotta say I never expected to fall in love with anyone, but…I did with you, and I know that I never want to lose you. You've filled up this empty space that I've had inside me."

AJ smiled, putting a hand to his face. "That's sweet. I know I don't want to lose you either." She undid the sash of her robes and let it fall soundlessly to the floor, leaving her in black and red bra and panties. "I'm all yours, John…I want you to touch me." She took his hands in his and put them around her waist.

The Doctor of Thuganomics could feel his body heating up. His heart started beating faster, he couldn't take his eyes off hers. He connected his lips with hers. Their kisses turned long and passionate. John held her tight against him leaving no space between them. AJ moaned into his mouth, her hands moving from his face to the back of his head. John lifted her up in his arms. Her legs were now wrapped around his waist. The kiss wasn't broken. He gently sat her down on the bed.

"Turn around and lay down," he whispered to her. AJ turned and laid down on her stomach. John stood up and removed his own robes. He bent back down and whispered, "close your eyes, baby, relax."

AJ closed her eyes and smiled as she felt him plant kisses on her shoulder, the back of her neck, and on her lower back. She turned around, grabbed his face in her hands again and hungrily kissed him. When John detached his lips from hers, he went for her neck. She gasped, loving the feeling.

"John…" she moaned. John looked into her eyes. "You take the pain away…"

John knew for someone like AJ that may have meant a lot of things. He didn't respond, he smiled and continued to kiss her and caress her and her body. He moaned as she ran her hands down his torso. She whimpered at the feeling of the tightness of his abs. She loved how his body pressed her down on the bed.

"I love you, AJ," John said against her lips, "more than anything."

"I love you too, John." AJ took the helm of his boxer shorts and slowly started pulling them down.

John latched his finger on the line of her panties and slid them down her legs. Their kisses started growing more and more soundly and passionate. With AJ's legs wrapped around his waist, John positioned himself between her legs and entered her. They hadn't broken the kiss. He started moving at a steadier pace.

"Oh, John," AJ gasped.

John's hands started wandering all over her body. He groaned as he continued to slide in and out of her. "AJ…" He didn't allow her to shift, he wanted full dominance over her in that moment. He kept their bodies closely pressed against one another's as he started moving faster.

"John…oh God, John."

"I'm already so close, baby girl."

AJ's breathing laboured, she held onto his body not wanting to let go. She then gave in, John climaxed not long after her, letting out a loud groan after his release. AJ grinned, her long locks were sprawled out on the pillow. She kissed his shoulder. John laid down pulling her into his arms. She pulled the covers over the both of them.

"That was perfect," she moaned into his chest.

"It was," John said. "Amazing."

The two laid in silence, just taking in what had just happened and just the closeness they felt with each other. Everything with what they were being accused of in the past, sneaking around and sleeping together, trying to avoid that scandal and now here they were, the Face of the WWE and the Geek Goddess, laying contently in bed together.

"How do you feel?" John asked.

"Like I'm in paradise. I've never felt so relaxed."

John smiled and kissed her forehead. "Me too."

There was another moment of silence before AJ started again, "John?"

"Yeah?"

She looked up at him from his chest. "Do you think I'm crazy?"

John looked down at her. He wasn't expecting that question. But with AJ Lee, he knew he had to expect the unexpected, which is one of the reasons he loved her.

"No, I don't think you're crazy, AJ."

AJ didn't look too convinced that that was the truth. "Come on, you can be honest, I won't be mad."

"That is the truth though," John replied, stroking her face, "I mean after everything you've been through with Vickie and all that went down Daniel Bryan, Punk, and Dolph…your reactions were understandable. But I don't think you're crazy, I never did."

AJ stared at him, she didn't reply. She sat up with the sheets around her and walked over to the window. "The way I acted was crazy because I've been used…I see what you're saying."

John got off the bed and went behind her. He turned her around so she would look at him. "All of them treated you badly, that's why you acted the way you did. But the way you are as a woman, as a Diva, you're your own person in that ring, you don't try to be anyone else. You speak your mind when or when not spoken to. You have your own world, that's what everyone…that's what I love about you." AJ smiled, shyly looking down. "And the way you do things. The way you are…it's not crazy…it's…different." He smiled.

Out of all the guys AJ has been with or dealt with, John Cena was the only one who never called her crazy or has never taunted her for being crazy.

John scooped her up in his arms causing her to giggle. "Come back to bed, I'm cold," he said. He embraced her once more when they got back into the bed. "Alright, so my turn to ask a question."

"Go ahead."

John took her right hand and ran a finger on the three black bracelets she had on her wrist. He looked at them. "I notice that you never take these bracelets off. Do you just like them? Or do they mean something to you?"

"Yes, John, they do mean a lot to me," AJ sighed deeply. "One represents the life I had and the mistakes I made, the second for the death I'd escaped when I was in my teens, and the third for my second chance at life, like a rebirth." This was something she never really told anyone. It was just something that never came up, not even with Kaitlyn. She never opened up to anyone like this before.

John was curious to know more about what she had gone through, but he decided to let it rest for now.

"Well," he said, reaching over to the drawer of the bedside table. He pulled out a rectangular box. "I hope this doesn't cramp your style. I wanted to give this to you at the arena after your match, but I think now is a better time. Happy Valentines, baby." He kissed her.

"I told you not to get me anything."

"What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't?"

"One that I adore and love."

"Open it."

AJ opened the box, revealing a sterling silver bracelet with black sapphire stones.

"It's beautiful, I love it."

"I'm glad," John helped her put it on. "I love you."

"And I love you too." They kissed. The power couple fell into a blissful sleep.

A/N- I thought it important to include a moment between John and AJ where they discuss her state of mind. It comes up every now and then, because with AJ (Lee) Mendez it's unavoidable, but I wanted to write a heart to heart as well. Even as a storyline I never thought AJ was crazy as many perceived or deciphered her to be. FYI: the three black bracelets that she wears, really do represent what I said they do- copyright to her bio READ/ENJOY/REVIEW! - cheers, Danielle
