Face to Face
Tonight was AJ's first match back and it was for a live event. It was the perfect way to get her feet wet after being out of action for so many weeks. Punk was a little anxious especially since she was getting in the ring with Charlotte again but AJ was too excited and he didn't want to bring her down. They headed off to catering before the show started but were of course interrupted by Paul.
"If it isn't my favorite couple" Paul grinned
"What do you want Paul?" Punk asked annoyed looking up at his former friend
"I just want AJ to know that this match tonight could determine her entire career" Paul said to Punk and looked towards AJ "If you manage not to screw this up Vince wants to see you in the title picture"
"I'll be great tonight" she informed him smugly
"You better be" Paul warned her "But no pressure"
"Yea none at all" Punk mocked "How about you worry more about your own job and let AJ worry about hers?" he suggested
"Don't expect Charlotte to go easy on you" Paul warned as well "If you want to be booked like a champion you're going to have to earn it"
"Last time I checked I've been around a hell of a lot longer than Charlotte" she argued "I don't need a pep talk Charlotte does"
"Charlotte has proven herself" Paul reminded her
"And AJ hasn't?" Punk asked him "She's been training to wrestle since she was 18"
"No she went to wrestling school and screwed her coach until she didn't need him anymore" Paul said with a frown and Punk glared at him "Just like she's screwing you until she gets that Diva's title"
"Let's just ignore him" AJ said to her fiancé "He's just trying to rattle us"
"He's not rattling me he's pissing me off" Punk hissed
"Just doing my job" Paul shrugged
"Do your job somewhere else" Punk snapped
"You're extra grumpy, did she already stop putting out?" Paul teased
"Don't talk to me about her and especially about our sex life" Punk warned him
"It's mind blowing by the way" AJ added smugly and Punk couldn't help but smirk towards her and shake his head lightly
"Have a good show" Paul said stiffly then walked away
"You'll do great tonight" Punk assured her
"I know" she said happily
Punk watched from backstage as AJ wrestled Charlotte and he cringed every time she took a hit to the head. It was as if Charlotte had been instructed to hit her only there.
"Nervous?" Kofi asked standing next to Punk
"No why do you think that?" he asked
"Because I've been talking to you for the last six minutes and you haven't even looked over to me once" Kofi laughed
"Sorry what were you saying?" Punk asked keeping his eyes glued on the screen
"Is everything ok?" Kofi asked him "You two having problems?"
"No" Punk said finally looking over to him "We got a Christmas tree and everything"
"You put up and decorated a Christmas tree?" Kofi asked stunned
"It's nice and it smells nice" Punk shrugged
"You got a real tree" Kofi laughed "You are so whipped"
"It makes her happy" Punk defended "I told her no and she was fine with it"
"But she gave you those sad little eyes and you crumbled?" Kofi asked
"Something like that" Punk admitted "I don't know what the hell has happened to me"
"Love" Kofi said to him "Love happened. You seem happier it's a good look on you. I thought with you losing your title you'd be miserable"
"Well I'm not happy about it but I'm getting married in a few weeks and have booked an awesome honeymoon and I'm not going to let Dwayne or Vince ruin it for me" Punk said to him "I can't even describe how excited I am to get AJ out of town"
"I looked more forward to my honeymoon too" Kofi joked
"It's not just that" Punk said to him "AJ has a stalker"
"I'm sure she does" Kofi laughed
"No not some idiot who tweets her everyday. Someone has been getting her number and they sent her a really expensive bouquet of flowers" Punk told him
"Creepy" Kofi agreed "But you remember all the weird shit Kelly used to get sent her"
"Yea but I'm not marrying Kelly I'm marrying AJ" Punk reminded him "I don't care what other people get sent I care about what AJ gets sent"
"How can you still be the most selfish man I've ever met and yet sound so selfless at the same time?" Kofi asked him amused
"I am selfish" Punk agreed "But now I'm selfish for AJ too"
"I can see that and it's not selfish it's actually sweet" Kofi said to him
"Don't call me sweet" Punk grumbled watching the match "She's out of it" he noted seeing her using the ropes to pull herself up to her feet but before she can even stand fully Charlotte rammed AJ out of the ring and Punk could hear AJ's head hit the floor.
"Ouch" Kofi cringed slightly
"They have to stop this match" Punk said walking away
"You can't tell them to do that" Kofi warned chasing after him
"Sure I can" Punk said walking towards the curtain
"How would you feel if she did that to you?" Kofi asked
"If I had just barely recovered from a concussion and looked like I just got another one I'd be ok with it" he mocked
"Dude give her a chance" Kofi said grabbing his arm and that's when they heard Charlotte's music play "See? It's over"
"AJ was supposed to win the match" Punk said to her "Which means AJ couldn't finish the match"
Punk watched as Charlotte happily walked backstage with her title and kissed her husband who was waiting for her and saw Paul walk over to her.
"That was fantastic" Paul said hugging her
"They're not taking this from me without a proper fight" Charlotte said clutching her title close to her chest.
"They'll be re-thinking everything after tonight" Paul smiled
"So your plan was to hurt AJ again?" Punk asked the blonde woman
"Excuse me?" Charlotte asked
"You were trying to hurt her again" Punk spat "You probably did!"
"Don't talk to my wife like that" Bram warned stepping in front of Charlotte
"Oh come on she's a Flair!" Punk mocked "She can take it! Isn't that right?"
"It's not my fault AJ can't keep up" Charlotte said to him
"If she's hurt again and it's because of you again Vince isn't going to care who the hell your father is- you're going to be deemed dangerous in the ring. I'm sure Paul really pushed you into really taking her out but I'm also sure he neglected to tell you what happens to sloppy wrestlers" Punk hissed
"I'm not sloppy" Charlotte defended
"If AJ has another concussion you'll be deemed sloppy and that title will be off of your waist before the next match" Punk said coldly he turned when he saw AJ being helped by the ref and the ringside doctor.
"Just a few more feet AJ" the ref said to her
"You ok?" Punk asked her
"My head really hurts" she admitted as Punk took over for the ref and helped her into the trainers room.
AJ was sitting down as the doctor flashed lights in her eyes and Punk looked worried from the corner of the room.
"She gave you a lot of kicks to your head" the doc noted
"Yea" she said feeling light headed "Do you think it's a concussion?"
"As of right now? Yes" he said to her and she nearly cried "It might have been a little too soon for you to come back"
"My doctor from Chicago cleared me" AJ reminded him
"Yea and doctors make mistakes all of the time" he informed AJ "Two concussions like this back to back isn't healthy"
"Duh" she remarked "I've felt fine before the match"
"Yea I'm sure you did and then you got knocked around and it's back. This could be very serious AJ" he warned her
"You mean like I'll never wrestle again?" she asked him
"That's not what he's saying" Punk said cutting the doctor off "Let's just take it one day at a time"
"I don't remember my match" AJ admitted looking up at him and he could see she was scared "I can't remember it" she cried out
"Just relax" He soothed
"I have to call talent relations and let them know" doc said standing up
"What are you going to tell them?" AJ asked him
"I'm going to tell them that you're being sent home" doc said to her
"I have a big match in a few weeks" AJ informed him "I need time to build the story I can't just go home"
"You might not have a match in a few weeks" he told her bluntly and Punk glared towards the doctor "And the fact that you got another concussion so soon after the last you might not wrestler-"
"Shut up" Punk said to the doctor "You want her to relax? Shut the fuck up and stop upsetting her"
"I'm not going to lie to her she's my patient" doc told him
"You're not even a real fucking doctor and as a matter of fact who are you?" Punk asked "Because I don't know who you are either"
"I got hired with Doctor Jacobs and I were hired at the same time" he informed Punk
"Who the hell is Doctor Jacobs?" Punk asked
"The doctor from the UK tour" AJ said to him
"Oh shit" Punk groaned "Did you two get your medical degrees from the same school? Because if that's the case I'm taking her to a hospital"
"No hospital" AJ pleaded looking at him
"Punk you're up" A knock at the door and a producer stuck his head into the room
"Yea ok" Punk said to him "Wait here for me" he said kissing her head "And can you actually watch her?" he asked the doctor "Or do I need to find someone else to take care of her?"
"She'll be fine" the doctor said to him
"Be careful" she warned lightly as he kissed the top of her head. "What were you going to say before?"
"It's just with such consistent injuries to your head like this it's unlikely you'll ever be cleared to come back" the doctor admitted "I don't mean to upset you I'm just being honest. You have a history with concussions"
"How do you know that?" AJ asked him. She never mentioned to anyone that she had suffered three in one year when she was training.
"I've done my homework so I didn't end up like Jacobs" the man smirked
"Keep that quiet" AJ ordered
"You're getting married in a few weeks right?" he asked her
"Yes I am" she said to him lightly brushing her engagement ring
"Do you want to remember your wedding?" he asked her seriously "I know you love wrestling and all but it's not worth your life"
"At one time in my life it's all I had ever wanted" AJ admitted "Can't you just keep this quiet for a few days? Check me again on Monday?"
"I like my job" the doctor laughed "I don't want to get fired and make the same mistakes my old buddy did. I also took an oath to help people and I'd be doing you a disservice if I didn't report this. It could be just a light concussion and nothing to worry about"
"Or it could be reoccurring" she pointed out "And I might never get to wrestle again"
"Possibly" he nodded
"That's not an option for me" AJ said to him
"You're young" the doctor pointed out "You're going to get married, don't you want a family?"
"My soon to be a husband is a wrestler so what do I do? Sit at home and wait for him? Do you know how long that marriage will last?" AJ asked him
"Maybe you can still work here" he suggested "You can do interviews or something"
"I want to wrestle" she said firmly
"If I were you I'd start looking into a different field" he said honestly then stood up and walked out of the room.
On the bus AJ was laying in bed with a cool rag over her head to help with her headache.
"Any better?" he asked her
"Yea a little" she said holding her hand over the rag
"Are you hungry?" he asked
"I'd toss it right back up" she said to him "I can't believe this is happening again I was so careful out there"
"Yea you were, she wasn't" Punk said to her "Sometimes people are spiteful"
"I can't even consider never wrestling again" AJ said to him
"That doctor is an idiot" Punk said to her "He shouldn't have said that to you. He has no idea what he was talking about"
"It happens though" AJ reminded him
"You're young AJ and I'm going to get you to the best doctor in the country if that's what it takes" he promised her "Your career isn't over"
"Maybe I should start thinking about what I can do after wrestling" she admitted
"When you were fired you tried to become a model" he teased
"I was scared and desperate for money" she reminded him
"Well my money is your money so you're set for life" Punk informed her "So if there is a small chance you can't do this anymore you can take as much time deciding. And honestly I'm not going to be wrestling forever I'm probably not even renewing my contract when it's up next year"
"Really?" she asked surprised
"I'm getting old and there's things I want to do" Punk admitted
"Like what?" she asked
"You'll think I'm crazy" he warned
"Tell me" she insisted
"UFC" he confided
"Oh god" she laughed "You're going to go from getting fake beat up to seriously beat up?"
"I don't know if they'd even want me but I'm not getting younger and I've spoke about it in passing with Dana White from time to time" Punk admitted "It requires very little traveling so I can stay home most of the time with you"
"Well I'll be at home" she mumbled "Home because my body keeps breaking on me"
"Don't even stress about this" Punk insisted "It's Saturday you'll rest tomorrow and get checked out again on Monday and we'll worry than"
"Ok" she said snuggling into him "But that still leaves me, what will I do?"
"You can be my personal cheerleader" he suggested
"I already am" she groaned "But is this your way of asking me to wear a cheerleading outfit during sex?" she teased
"I wasn't really into cheerleaders in high school" Punk admitted "But I won't turn you away or anything" he said seriously and she laughed
"Of course you wouldn't" She smirked "Maybe I should just worry about all of this after the wedding"
"Maybe" Punk agreed "I don't want you to be banned from traveling for our honeymoon"
"That would suck" AJ agreed
"Especially with the place I booked" Punk said to her
"Can I see?" she asked "Might help my head"
"Here" He said pulling out his phone and pulling up the resorts website
"Oh wow" she smiled looking at the images on his phone "It's beautiful!"
"Beach, gym, pool, hot tub, restaurants, dancing- it's perfect!" she squealed
"And complete privacy" he added
"I was really excited for Christmas then I was really excited for our wedding and now this awesome honeymoon- I feel like my head is going to explode" she admitted
"What?" he asked concerned
"Not literally" she told him quickly knowing he was afraid she was in pain "You know what I mean" she laughed
"Don't make head jokes" he said to her seriously
"I wont" she promised "Just promise me when I become a boring regular woman you'll still love me"
"I'm actually rethinking this entire marriage thing now" He said seriously "If you can't wrestle I don't think I want to marry you anymore"
"Phil" she frowned and he smiled
"You're insane" he laughed "And honestly without you kicking my ass I would only be upset you can't wrestle anymore just because you would be. You're great at it but I know how traveling can break down your body. No matter how fake wrestling is it's still dangerous. I'd prefer if you did something a little less high risk and closer to home"
"How chauvinistic of you" she remarked
"I'm just being honest" Punk said to her
"Do you really think Charlotte was trying to take me out?" she asked him
"Yup" He said to her "I've seen it before, not really here because everyone fears Vince so I'm actually surprised"
"Think she'll get in trouble?" she asked him
"I'll see to it" he said to her "Paul told her to do it, I know Paul and I know how he thinks"
"I just don't get why he hates me so much" AJ admitted "I mean I know he blames me for you leaving him but I feel like he's always hated me"
"I don't know" Punk admitted "But he truly hates you and I don't get it because you're talented and he usually falls all over the talent. But it's probably because you outsmarted him and made him look stupid"
"If I don't come back from this concussion I blame him for it" she said to him "He would have single handedly ruined my career and I will never forgive him for it or get passed it"
That following Monday AJ was in-fact diagnosed with a concussion, it wasn't as severe as the last one but she was ordered to go right home. Of course Punk was able to go with her this time since they weren't in the middle of the UK tour and just like last time took excellent care of her. The doctors told her she should be fine in a few days and jumping back into the ring as quickly as she did after the last one was probably what hurt her. No one mentioned never wrestling again but they decided to keep AJ out of action for a few more weeks until after her wedding to be on the safe side. There would still be time for her to go for the title in time for the Rumble as long as she would be cleared.
AJ wasn't happy but being home and not traveling around Christmas time was appealing to her. She was home only a few days and she felt as good as new but she wasn't going to stress or force herself back on the road and risk getting hurt again. She wanted to come back stronger than before. But tonight wasn't about any of that, tonight she was meeting with her sister and she was beyond excited. She couldn't remember the last time the two of them were alone together and able to speak freely.
"What time is your dinner?" Punk asked walking into the bedroom
"6:30" she said as she placed the necklace Punk bought her around her neck. She was wearing a cute little black dress and chucks.
"And you're sure you want to do this?" Punk asked her
"We've been talking for a while now" AJ reminded him "I want to see her I have to see her"
"Are you going to talk to her about Ricky?" Punk asked her
"I don't know" AJ admitted "He hasn't been bothering me so maybe it's best to leave it alone"
"You don't think that will always hang over your relationship?" he asked
"I'm sure it will" AJ shrugged "But who knows if we'll even have a relationship? It's just dinner and have no expectations"
"Why don't I believe that?" he teased and she gave him a kiss
"It's just dinner." She told him and then he followed her down the stairs "So what are you going to do tonight?"
"Start wrapping your gifts" He shrugged
"I've searched this place from top to bottom and I haven't found one present yet" she said as he helped her put on her jacket
"Maybe they're not here" He said to her "I know your tricks."
"Whatever" she said annoyed and he gave her a kiss
"Take my car not yours" he said to her
"I like my car" she complained
"I know but my car is better and if you do have a crazy stalker they'll be looking for your car and not mine" he said to her
"Fine" she said grabbing his keys and opening the front door
"Oh hey" Colt greeted giving AJ a quick kiss on the cheek
"Hi Colt, see you later" she said to Punk and walked out the door
"You're early" Punk said to him
"Relax she has no idea" Colt said to him
"Where is it?" Punk asked
"In the car. I saw both cars were still here and knew she was still here" Colt said to him
"You left my dog in your car?" Punk asked annoyed
"Would you rather me have bought him inside and ruined your big Christmas surprise?" Colt asked "And by the way if you wanted this dog to jump out of a box on Christmas morning why did you get the dog a week ago and drop him off at my place?"
"Because I wanted that dog and it's a shelter I didn't want to risk him getting adopted" Punk said to him "Also I want him to get used to your place"
"Why?" Colt asked horrified "Don't get me wrong he's a good dog but I'm not a dog person"
"I need you to watch him while I'm on my honeymoon" Punk said to him and Colt rolled his eyes "I can't just leave him here or put him in boarding"
"You owe me" Colt said to him
"Yea I owe you- a kick in the face if you don't get my dog out of that car. I want him to run around here a bit and get a feel for the place before he officially moved in" Punk said to him
"I still can't believe you got her a dog" Colt laughed walking out the door to fetch the small new addition to the Brooks family.
"There he is" Punk grinned as the small dog ran towards him "How much are you feeding him?" Punk asked looking up at Colt while scratching his dogs belly
"The appropriate amount" Colt said to him
"He's all fat now" Punk scowled "He better not get sick"
"Relax I know how to take care of a dog" Colt said removing his jacket "I've been calling him Pete"
"We're not naming him that" Punk said to him
"What kind of dog is he anyway?" Colt asked
"I don't know he's a mutt" Punk shrugged "All I know is that he has hair and not fur so he doesn't shed"
"He also shits and pisses constantly" Colt said plopping on the couch "That's a real nice tree." He said admiring the huge tree Punk and AJ put up last weekend
"Yea I think it's pretty bad ass" Punk said to him
"Yea nothing says bad ass like candy canes and bright gold ornaments" Colt teased
"You clearly didn't see my Batman ornament" Punk remarked as he continued to play around with the dog
"There's no Batman ornament on that tree" Colt said to him
"It's right there" Punk said pointing to where he had hung the ornament last week and saw his and AJ's ornaments were both gone. "That's weird' he said expecting the rest of the tree
"Maybe they broke" Colt said to him
"They were plastic not glass" Punk said to him "I had Batman and she had Robin"
"You're marrying the right one" Colt laughed turning on the TV
"Where could they have gone?" Punk asked himself looking underneath the tree and under the table, the chair, anywhere where they could have rolled under.
"You said they were made of plastic so they were probably cheap what do you even care?" Colt asked amused
"Because these were our ornaments" Punk said to him "AJ loved them. They were cheap and stupid but they were ours"
"Fine" Colt grunted standing up "I'll help you look. You probably just don't remember where you hung them"
"I remember where I fucking hung them Colt" Punk snapped
"How you convinced AJ to marry your grumpy ass is beyond me" Colt remarked as he looked around the tree
"I'm not grumpy I'm just pissed" Punk said to him "Do you see them? Maybe she moved them?"
"No man, they're not there" Colt said to him "Just go get new ones"
"I guess I'm going to have to" Punk said to him "What the fuck happened to them?"
"Why are you so on edge over these ornaments?" Colt asked him
"Well now I think someone stole them" Punk admitted and Colt laughed
"You have game systems, comics and a bunch of other crap worth real money why would someone break into here and steal two plastic ornaments?" Colt asked him
"I don't know" Punk defended "But they didn't fall and I didn't move them and neither did AJ"
"How do you know she didn't?" Colt asked him "Before you call 911 to report the theft of your ornaments worth a total of $10 you should ask her"
"Good idea" Punk said grabbing his phone and shooting her a text.
"Where was she going anyway?" Colt asked
"Dinner with her sister" Punk said to him as he typed away
"I thought they didn't talk because you punched out her sisters husband?" Colt asked
"I didn't punch him in the face for no reason. Him and AJ have a history I didn't like his comments about AJ so I hit him" Punk said simply
"Sounds like your wedding is going to be awkward" Colt joked
"He's not invited to the wedding" Punk said to him bluntly "I doubt her sister will even show. No one from AJ's family will be there actually she didn't even bother to invite them"
"Oh" Colt said slowly "How's she feeling anyway?"
"Doctors need to wait a week to look at her again before they decide if she can wrestle ever again" Punk said to him
"That sucks." Colt said seriously
"She's going to go mad if they force her into retirement" Punk admitted "But she can still travel with me"
"Yea I'm sure she'd love showing up to a place where she used to work and just sit quietly in the background and cheer you on" Colt remarked
"So you don't think she'd still travel with me?" Punk asked concerned
"Do you really think that's fair to her?" Colt asked "It's like throwing salt on the wound"
"I didn't think of it like that" Punk admitted "I don't want to travel without her though"
"Well maybe you should re-think your career" Colt suggested "Obviously she won't have a choice"
"Yea" Punk agreed "I mean I didn't think I'd stick around after my contract anyway but I don't want to travel for another year without her"
"After you won the title you were thrilled. Then you turned heel and started working with Paul and things have just been going downhill since than" Colt pointed out "I think the only reason you haven't snapped yet is because of AJ being there with you"
"If AJ can't work anymore I'm definitely asking for time off" Punk said to him "After Wrestlemania of course"
"What are the plans for Mania?" Colt asked him
"I'm hoping they decide to throw me into the main-event but it's looking like Taker" Punk admitted "I just need some time away to think things over, spend time with my wife and be normal for a few weeks"
"You? Normal?" Colt laughed
"You know what I mean" Punk said to him "Honestly the more time I spend here at home with her the less I want to go back to work and if she won't be working there it's going to be damn hard to motivate me to go"
"You're getting old" Colt reminded him coolly "I don't blame you. You have enough money to provide for you and the wife- neither you will have to work but I'm sure you'll both want to"
"Wife" Punk snorted "I can't believe I'm getting married"
"Cold feet?" Colt asked anxiously with a smile
"No it's just weird" Punk admitted "A good weird"
AJ was sitting at the restaurant waiting for Erica to arrive, she had texted her she was running a few minutes later and to order her a glass of wine. She then saw Punk sent her a text about their ornaments but before she could respond she felt someone take a seat across from her.
"I was beginning to think you blew me off" AJ smiled and looked up
"Never" Ricky grinned picking up the glass of wine and sipping it
"What are you doing here?" AJ asked slowly
"You didn't really think Erica was coming did you?" Ricky asked her
"We've been talking for weeks-" AJ started
"No we've been talking for weeks" Ricky corrected "You look beautiful April"
"Why?" AJ asked him
"Erica is never going to forgive you" Ricky said to her "The family isn't ever going to accept you back. I could be your in. Don't you want your daddy to walk you down the aisle on your big day?"
"And you're just going to go to the family and explain to them that you're a liar who did slip into my bed when I was little girl and touched me?" AJ challenged coldly
"You weren't a little girl" Ricky corrected "You were a beautiful woman"
"I was 14" AJ snapped "You were older and you knew better and you lied"
"What was I supposed to say April?" Ricky asked seriously "Tell Erica I wanted to be with her little sister? She would have been crushed"
"I want this to stop" AJ snapped "No more phone calls, no more text messages and no more flowers"
"Aren't you impressed I remembered not only that you love white roses but our anniversary?" Ricky asked her
"What anniversary?" AJ asked him
"The night we almost consummated our relationship" Ricky smiled "You've grown into a beautiful young woman April and I want you, I have to have you at least once and the more you ignore me the more it challenges me and I'm a businessman so you know I won't quit"
"Why?" AJ asked "Don't you love Erica?"
"Of course I do. She's beautiful, smart, sophisticated, loving, generous" Ricky trailed off "She's lacking in certain areas though, areas I feel you're not"
"Where?" AJ asked unsurely
"In the bedroom for starters" Ricky smiled "She also is very bland there aren't layers to her. I feel like I could peel you for months and still learn something new about you everyday"
"Even if I wasn't getting married it would never happen" AJ informed him "Leave me alone or I will file harassment charges" she threatened as Ricky just simply sipped the glass of wine AJ had ordered for him earlier.
"For what? We're family" Ricky reminded her "The phone I used was your sisters old phone but in her name nonetheless and keep in mind my flowers were paid in cash and had no card"
"Phil will stop you" AJ informed him
"Your soon to be a husband is a fake fighter" Ricky smirked "He's a big man over the phone but if he were here right now I guarantee you he'd do nothing. I won't let him cheap shot me again"
"Let's find out shall we?" AJ asked bravely picking up her phone
"I just have to get in-between your legs just once" Ricky whispered "I swear to you that you won't hate it you'll crave more. I will make you bend in ways you didn't think possible and I'll make you scream so loud you won't be able to talk for a week"
"It's ringing" AJ said placing the phone to her ear.
"Go ahead call Batman" Ricky said standing up "But just so you know when you're told you can't wrestle anymore because your head can't take another hit just remember how lonely you'll be without your husband by your side because I know a woman like you craves sex. I'll always be around and I'll be waiting" he smiled then walked away
"AJ!" Phil shouted into the phone because she didn't respond when he first answered
"Phil" She sighed sadly "I need you"
Twenty minutes later Punk now occupied the seat Ricky was in.
"What happened?" Punk asked her "You two have a fight?" he asked her
"She was never here" AJ admitted "I was never talking to her it's all been him"
"Ricky?" Punk asked and she nodded "He was here?"
"Yea that's why I called you" she said to him "He left before you got here"
"Of course he did" Punk choked out "You ok?"
"He did send me those flowers" AJ said to him
"I figured" Punk said to her "What else did he say?"
"He won't leave me alone" AJ said to him "Why can't he just let me move on and forget? Why does he have to bring this horrible time up to me constantly? He told me he could talk my dad into walking me down the aisle"
"We don't have an aisle so in his face" Punk teased trying to cheer her up
"He said he wanted to get in-between my legs and taste me…." She trailed off "It was so disgusting"
"I'll figure something out" Punk promised her
"It's not your problem Phil" she said to him "It never has been it's always been my problem"
"And yet I'm still going to figure something out" Punk said to her
"He knows I might not ever wrestle again" AJ told him "How does he know this? How does he keep getting my number?"
"I would imagine he has a friend" Punk said to her "The more I think about it it's probably someone in WWE. They're the only ones who keep getting your new number besides me and I know he's not getting it from me"
"Who would give him information?" AJ asked him
"I'll figure it out" Punk promised her "Come one let's get out of here" he said to her
"I'm actually really hungry" she smiled "I wanted to have a nice dinner tonight and if I leave here now without having some fun it will ruin my entire evening"
"Ok" He said picking up the menu "Excuse me" he said gesturing to a waitress "Could you please get rid of this" he said passing her the half drank glass of wine "And I'll have a glass water"
"Sure" she said taking the glass away
"Thank you for coming for me" She smiled picking up her own menu
"I always will" he said to her smoothly not even looking up for his menu
When they got home AJ stepped into the shower and washed off her body. Ricky always managed to make her feel dirty but she was happy Punk showed up and gave her a pretty good night. With the possibility of never wrestling again and Ricky she wasn't how she was still standing because everything that could go wrong has but then she realized it was Punk, he was her lifeline.
She kept a straight face as she heard the shower door open and then felt his chest pressed into her back. She lifted her arm so she her arm would stretch and bend far enough so she could cup the back of his head while he nuzzled and kissed her neck. One of his hands cupped her breasts and his other trailed down her body and teased her lips. She knew the teasing wasn't going to last long since she could feel how hard he was.
Punk could spend hours touching her body but his own body always prevented him from that, the more he touched the more depth he wanted. His one hand moved away from her lips and back up her body so both his hands were cupping and massaging he breasts while he kissed her shoulder. She arched her backside into him as he chest arched into his very capable hands. It was almost like she was a slippery worm.
AJ turned into Punk's arms and began kissing his mouth. She was on her tiptoes trying to deepen the kiss and placed her hands on his shoulder and he knew she wants to be lifted into his arms. He lifted her by her ass and rested his back against the shower wall so he could enjoy the kissing some more. He could feel AJ's kisses growing more intense and filled with want and slowly slid down the moist wall as the water poured down on them never releasing him from his grip or parting his lips from him.
Once Punk hit the floor he released her ass and she raised her hips and dropped down on him with ease. They continued kissing as Punk began to push up into her slowly and AJ matched his slow pace. Eventually she had to pull away from the kiss for air and rested her head against his shoulder as they continued their rhythm. Some times it scared how in-sync the two were with everything- sex included.
AJ was making the sweetest moans and sounds that he had ever heard. She moved her mouth over his ear and began to tug on it lightly with her teeth then smooth over it with her tongue while he just let her. He wanted his mouth on hers but it would be impossible to do with her doing what she was doing and he wasn't about to have her stop, he loved when she did that. One hand move to her clit and he began to push her into her release a little quicker and she nipped hard at his ear and let it go but her mouth remained close. He smiled at the purr she made which only egged him on.
"Just like a kitten" he rasped out as he tried to hold his own release off that was rapidly approaching until she climaxed first.
"Hmm?" she questioned in a moan but she didn't get her answer because she clenched and released at the same exact moment he did. She leaned down and kissed him as he continued to rest on the floor against the wall. "Did you call me kitten?" she asked with a cute little smile
"No you purr like one though" he admitted "Every time roll into you" he informed her "you purr"
"Normally I'd argue you that but I'm sure there's a lot things I say that I can't recall during sex with you and my weak head isn't the reason for it" she teased
"No head jokes" he reminded her
"No head jokes" she agreed "anymore- or I'll try sorry. When I'm nervous or uncomfortable it's kind of what I do"
"Yea I know" He snorted
"I have to finish showering" she said sliding out of him
"So do I" he said standing up as well and she passed him her shampoo "I don't use this" he said to her
"I know" she said turning so her long hair was facing him
"Spoiled" He said seriously but squeezing the shampoo into his hand anyway
Punk was out of the shower first and already in bed while AJ blow-dried her hair. He knew it took her a long time to blow out her hair but she was taking longer than usual. He finally stood up and went to open the door but it was locked.
"AJ?" he asked knocking but he was sure she wouldn't hear him over the noise of the dryer "AJ!" He shouted slamming on the door and when he didn't hear her again he used his hip to force the door open and found AJ laying on the floor with her eyes closed while the blow dryer remained on but on the counter "AJ!" he yelled out racing to her and knelt down at her side
