I'm Sorry
"I don't think we should be talking right now" AJ said to him "You seem really upset and I'm upset"
"Oh are you upset? Did you just walk in on me sticking my hands up another woman's dress?" Punk asked blocking her way to the door
"He was feeling the muscle in my thigh" AJ said with an annoyed sighed "And who knows what you were up to tonight" she shot at him "You lied to me!"
"You had another man in this office alone with you, drinking and touching each other!" He yelled back
"I didn't touch him!" AJ shouted "And stop changing the subject! Where were you tonight? And why in the hell did you lie to me!" She screamed
"I don't have to go over my schedule with you" Punk said to her "I don't answer to anyone and I never have or will"
"Wow" she said with a bitter laugh "Maybe you're not so much different from John"
"Don't you fucking dare" Punk warned pointing at her "I wasn't with another woman tonight you're the one who fucked up!"
"You lied!" she reminded him
"And if I didn't walk in when I did you'd be fucking John on this couch with his wife three feet from the door!" he shouted "Does that sort of thing turn you on?" he asked her
"What?" she asked stunned
"I read your journals you wrote how excited it was to fuck your foster bother Daniel when his parents were downstairs or in the next room" he reminded her getting in her face.
"I was fifteen" she said holding back tears
"And clearly not much has changed" he said looking at her with disgust "In my fucking office?!" he yelled
"I wasn't going to sleep with him!" she yelled
"You were drinking with him!" Punk yelled back
"Two glasses of wine" she defended
"You agreed to marry me" He reminded her coldly "There's no hanging around other men letting them touch you" he informed her "You gave up that right when you let me put a ring on your finger"
"I don't want to be with John!" AJ yelled
"So why were you locked away with him letting him feel you up?" Punk demanded
"He wanted to go over publishing ideas with me" AJ said to him "Did he make a pass at me? Yes he did" she told him and she watched as he jerked his head ready to explode "And he put his finger over my lips and I told him if he touched me like that again I would kick him in the nuts, that's when he grabbed my leg and said he'd rather not get kicked by them and you walked in" she told him "I'm not some fifteen year old girl Phil" she spat "And how dare you not trust me when I have never lied to you!" Punk was slightly taken back but believed what she said.
"I went to Milwaukee" he admitted. If she was going to be honest so was he. "Randy thinks Celeste was seeing someone he implied it was Primo so I drove down there to ask him"
"Why didn't you just tell me that?" AJ asked him
"Because I didn't want to upset you" Punk said to her
"Lying to me upsets me" AJ shot at him "Do you know what I was thinking?"
"That I was cheating on you obviously" Punk said looking at her "I could have killed him when I walked into this room. Don't use someone to make me jealous again" he warned her
"I wasn't using him but I'm glad you got a taste of your own medicine" AJ said honestly "Lying to me no matter the reason is still wrong. You messed up tonight"
"You did too!" Punk yelled "You think what you did was ok tonight? You didn't look ready to kick anyone you looked ready to hike up your tight dress and fuck another guy on my couch!"
"If wanted to fuck John Cena I would have" she said in an almost threatening voice
"No you wouldn't have" he said shaking his head "Over my dead body. There is no other men for you ever again"
"What about you?" AJ asked "Does that rule apply to you?"
"Of course it does" He said annoyed "And I wasn't with another woman tonight! I was with your pervy father and scumbag brother! I was doing something for you!"
"You shouldn't be doing that" Roman said from the chair in the VIP lounge. Dean had his ear against the door and was listening to Punk and AJ.
"Aren't you curious?" Dean asked him "I don't think they have ever argued before this is magical"
"Still shouldn't be listening" Roman said to him
"I just want to know if we're going to have to bury John's body" Dean defended lightly "Sounds like we are"
"They'll get over it" Roman mumbled looking at his phone
"Oh man" Dean laughed listening "She is not giving up, Punk is going to fucking explode"
"He's not going to hurt her" Roman said to Dean
"Of course not I know" Dean said seriously "I think he might throw himself him out his window though" he laughed that's when he heard the door unlock and ran towards the couch and sat next to Roman.
"Stop following me!" AJ yelled after Punk as she walked past the boys and headed towards the bathroom
"I'm not done talking!" Punk yelled following her
AJ stormed into the bathroom and began to close the door but Punk pushed it open and stepped inside and closed it behind himself.
"Don't walk away from me when I'm talking to you" he said locking the door
"What do you want me to say?" AJ asked "I will not apologize" she said firmly folding her arms "I did nothing wrong"
"You did" Punk said to her "And you should apologize"
"You should apologize for lying to me" AJ said back and he rolled his eyes
"Do you think I was having a great time hanging with your family?" Punk mocked "They are some of the worst people I have ever met and believe me I've met some real assholes in my day!" he yelled "I may have had my issues and yea sometimes I fight and hurt people but I have never held a gun in my head and almost pulled a trigger before!"
"What?" AJ asked surprised "You have a gun?"
"That's not the point-" he started
"Phil why do you have a gun?" she asked walking to him "What are you thinking?"
"It's not mine its Alberto's" Punk said to her "And I put in his mouth and almost pulled the trigger, want to know why? Because that's how fucking far I'd go to keep you safe" he said to her and that's when she slapped him across the face- hard.
"Are you stupid?" AJ asked him "You can't have a gun! You're going to get yourself killed!" Punk was still in shock from not just the slap but the amount of force she put behind it. "You don't even know how to use one! What if you shot him? You'd be in jail! You'd be ripped from me just as we started out together! You could have been killed Phil!" she screamed waving her hands around "I juts lost my best friend and you went and almost got yourself killed for what? To find out who killed her? Guess what? It's not worth it to me!"
"AJ-" he started seeing how worked up she was getting
"I mean what if one of them had a gun" She cried "You didn't' go with Roman or Dean so you obviously went by yourself! Are you that insane!"
"It's ok" He said grabbing her arms gently
"It's not" she cried dropping her face in his chest "Don't ever do that again" she sobbed "I can't lose you, you're all I have" Punk wrapped his around her and let her cry. "Don't you realize I love you just as much as you love me?" she asked looking up at him
"Yea" He whispered tucking her hair back "Sorry" he said hoping that would be enough so she would stop crying. He knew how to handle yelling and screaming but when she cried he was defenseless.
"I'm sorry too" she said to him "I would never cheat on you"
"I know" He said holding her tightly "We both were stupid tonight"
"Yea" She agreed "Never again"
"Never again" he repeated. He pulled away and began to kiss her as AJ's hands gripped his face to force his lips against hers harder.
It was almost as if AJ was trying to drag him to the bathroom floor but Punk wasn't that into the moment, he would not have sex on a dirty bathroom floor- the sink was a different story. He kept his lips attached to hers as he guided her over to the sink and lifted her so she was sitting on it.
"I love you" he said kissing all over her face "Please don't"
"Don't what?" she asked as he pushed the strap of her dress down to kiss her collarbone
"Be with anyone else, it would kill me" he admitted and she felt her own heart break.
"I won't" she whispered and grabbed his face and kissed him as hard as she could.
AJ wrapped her arms around his neck and opened her legs so he could nestle between them. His heart was racing and his hands were roaming all over her body until he reached under her dress. He pulled her panties down until they fell from her body and hit the floor.
"Only you" She promised as she tugged at his shorts and tugged them down. His two fingers entered her moist opening.
"I would never cheat on you" he said to her honestly as he moved his fingers in and out of her and she held onto him so she wouldn't fall off of the sink.
"I know" She whispered
"Seeing another man touch you in anyway…makes me crazy" he said to her
"It won't happen again" she swore "He's not you, I don't want anyone but you" she said as he kissed his favorite spot on her neck. "Sorry I hit you" She said and she felt him smile against her skin "Thank you for not hitting me back by the way" she added and he moved his head so he was looking at her directly.
"No matter how mad you make me, no matter what I'm feeling you never in your life have to worry about that" He said cupping her cheek with his one free hand "Look at me" he said noticing her eyes were looking to the floor "You are safe with me- always. I'm not like the people you grew up around" he reminded her
"I know" she said with a faint smile
"Never AJ" he said seriously "Don't ever think that" He said seriously
"I won't" she promised and pulled him back into the kiss. Punk pulled his fingers out of her and readied himself to enter her, which he did very slowly. "Oh" she moaned arching her back as far as she could without falling into him.
"So beautiful" he said against her lips. He began to intensely thrust into her causing her to move her lips away from him and look over his shoulder and hold onto him for dear life, she knew he wouldn't let her fall.
The door opened slightly and Nikki walked inside and gasped by what she saw, instead of freaking out AJ just shot Nikki a cocky smirk knowing she had passion and love with a man that Nikki lacked with her own husband. Nikki quietly stepped out of the room and once she was gone AJ moved her eyes over to Punk's and kissed him again….
The next day Punk and AJ were arriving to their month later wedding reception. AJ was dressed in a royal blue dress while Punk was in a three-piece suit and AJ loved it. AJ met so many more members of Klein family and she was getting along great with everyone. Punk was in awe of her as she mingled like she had known everyone forever.
"So how is married life?" Elliot asked his son as he leaned against the bar and watched his wife closely.
"Good" Punk said to him
"Still in the honeymoon faze?" Elliot asked with a smirk
"Yea I think so" he said unsurely "We had our first real big fight last night"
"Did you admit you were wrong and grovel at her feet?" Elliot asked
"No" he laughed then thought about it, he did cave first
"I'll take that no as a yes" Elliot chuckled
"Do me a favor?" Punk asked Elliot "Tell John Cena if I ever see him again I am going to hurt him very badly"
"Oh boy" Elliot mumbled "What happened now?"
"Showed up at the club last night and hit on my wife that's what happened" Punk said annoyed "After we were done fighting about it AJ told me all about it, I think he was really trying to convince her to have an open marriage" he said and Elliot laughed out loud
"He's a strange guy" Elliot said to him "But look at your wife" He said nodding towards her "You can't beat up every man that makes a pass at her"
"I think I can" Punk said to him seriously
"Speaking of that I'll be stopping by your place tomorrow and I'll be picking up that gun" Elliot said surprising him
"AJ tattled on me?" Punk asked stunned because there was no other way he could know.
"Actually no she didn't" Elliot said to him "Mia told me, how she knew I don't know. I would assume she heard it from Dean. What were you thinking Phillip?" he asked him
"I was thinking I was protecting my wife" Punk whispered to him not wanting everyone to hear him
"Putting a gun in someone's mouth is crazy" Elliot said to him "We don't do that sort thing"
"If it was Jennifer's family you would have done the same" Punk said to him
"No doubt" Elliot admitted "I would just have to hope I'd have someone like me keeping me from doing something stupid. I know what I would do if I was you which is why I'm taking the gun" he said to him seriously
"Fine" Punk said to him
"And no more trips to Milwaukee, I spoke to Steve about that too" Elliot said to him
"I don't need you to do this" Punk said to him "I can take care of myself"
"We're family" Elliot reminded him "You're my son and I'm going to protect you whether you like it or not. You may be married but you're still a little boy to me."
"They don't know who killed Celeste anymore" Punk reminded him "I need to protect her"
"Sure you do" He agreed "But she's my daughter now as well and I'll protect her the same way I have with my other three children. I have a meeting with police commissioner Monday and I'll see where this investigation is going and make it clear that I have concerns for AJ's safety"
"Thank you" Punk said to him
"Hey do you want to dance?" AJ asked walking over to the two with a silly smile
"I'll pass" Punk smirked
"I wasn't talking to you" AJ shot at him then smiled at Elliot.
"I would be honored" Elliot grinned putting his drink down and took AJ by the hand and led her to the dance floor.
Punk watched with a smile as AJ danced with the man he considered to be his father in every sense of the word. He remembered when they were kids how Elliot and Jennifer would put music on randomly and just dance around together and deep down Punk had always wanted that with a woman. He moved from where he was standing and walked over to them and tapped his father on his shoulder.
"Can I cut in?" Punk asked
"We were just getting started" Elliot frowned then smiled "It was lovely dancing with you" he said kissing AJ's cheek then placed her hand in Punk's.
"Having fun?" he asked as they swayed on the dance floor.
"The best time" AJ smiled "I've never been surrounded by so many happy people before" she admitted
"The Klein's are happy people" Punk teased "Good people"
"They really are" AJ said to him "Your grandmother asked me when we're having a baby"
"I'm sure she did" Punk smirked "What?" he asked noticing how quiet she was
"We've never talked about that" She said looking up at him "Do you want children?"
"I want what you want" He replied smoothly as he spun her and pulled her back against his chest.
"I never wanted children" She admitted "I didn't think I'd be capable of loving a child and I didn't want my child to feel the way I felt when I was younger. Unlovable."
"You're not unlovable" Punk told her "And you wouldn't be capable of not loving your own child" he assured her
"Maybe down the road?" she asked
"I agree" Punk said to her "I want you to myself for a little bit longer. It sounds selfish and I don't even care" she laughed at the remark and kissed him
"You're not selfish" she said to him "But you have to tell your Aunt Claire who gave me a book of baby names"
"Oh jeez" He laughed "I'll take care of it"
"You're a really good dancer" AJ noted
"When I first went to live with my parents they signed me up for dance classes" he admitted
"What?" She asked with a wide smile
"I was really young but they thought it would be a creative outlet for me" he said to her "Do not tell another living soul" He warned and she just laughed
"I think it's awesome" she said to him
"I think you're awesome" the line was cheesy but she always melted. "And I promise you'll get that honeymoon"
"It's not a big deal" AJ said to him
"It is to me" Punk said to her "Once things get settled with the case and the new club we'll go" he promised
"I just want to be with you" She said to him "I don't need anything else, just you" he leaned down and kissed her and neither realized they were the only two on the dance floor.
