Weirdo
AJ and Punk were in their office at SXS the next night but they working on stuff for the new club. Tonight was the kind of peaceful night they needed and everything seemed back to normal for the first time in a long time.
"I hate that, no" AJ said to him
"We need a name and I like April" Punk shrugged
"You're not naming your new club after me" she warned him
"It's technically your club too" Punk reminded her
"How narcissistic would that be?" AJ questioned "Not happening"
"Plenty of people name their clubs or restaurants after themselves" Punk argued
"So name it Punk's" AJ said to him "It is going to be a punk club" she pointed out
"Nah I don't like that" He said simply crumpling up a piece of paper
"I think 'Dean's' has a nice ring to it" Dean smiled walking into their office
"That name sucks" Punk informed him
"You're an asshole" Dean scoffed
"Hey be nice to him" AJ warned "He's still recovery"
"I can tell he's still not a hundred percent because you're both visible and dressed" Dean said seriously
"What do you want?" Punk asked as AJ blushed slightly
"There's a weird guy downstairs" Dean told them
"That's shocking" Punk said stunned "A weirdo hanging around at a club at this time of night" Dean just rolled his eyes "Come bursting in here when the Blackhawks walk in"
"If you would have let me finish the weirdo is bragging about how he knows your wife" Dean said to him
"Me?" AJ asked surprised
"Yea disgusting beard, long messy hair and he kind of has an animal face" Dean described
"Like a goat?" Punk asked
"Yes!" Dean said happily "Exactly!"
"Daniel" Punk and AJ said at the same time
"Want me to throw him out?" Dean asked them
"Yes" "No" Punk and AJ said at the same time again
"You can't just throw him out" AJ said to him
"Sure I can, I own this club" Punk said to her "I have the right to refuse service to anybody I damn well see fit"
"He's just sitting there minding his own business" AJ said to him
"He is" Dean agreed "Like some weirdo lurking in the shadows at the bar"
"I'll take care of it" Punk said standing up
"No you will not" AJ warned "Just leave him be."
"Why? Why is he even here?" Punk asked
"I have no idea but who cares" AJ argued "Do not go down there all pissed off looking for a fight. You are still hurt and he's not doing anything"
"He's pissing me off!" Punk yelled
"How is he pissing you off?" AJ asked him
"He's here!" Punk shouted and Dean snorted a laugh
"Just leave him there" AJ said to Dean
"No kick his creepy ass out" Punk said to him
"Dean" AJ warned
"Oh shit" Dean mumbled
"You work for me" Punk reminded him
"And me, technically" AJ pointed out
"Dean" Punk warned in a low voice
"I'm not going to even go down there and see him" AJ said to him "If you ignore him he'll go away"
"Watch him" Punk said to Dean "Can you do that?"
"Yea I can do that" Dean said
"Do not let him come up here and if he asks AJ is not here" Punk warned him
"Got it" Dean said to him then left the office.
Once Dean was gone Punk walked over to his window where he had a full view of the club below him and bent the blinds to see down and sure enough there was Daniel standing out like a sore thumb.
"Why did he come to Chicago?" Punk asked still looking at the window
"I don't know" AJ said looking over some of the possible names for the new club
"You're not alarmed by this?" Punk asked briefly glancing over to her
"No Phil I'm not" AJ sighed
"Did he mention coming to Chicago?" Punk asked her
"Nope" she said to him
"Has he called you?" Punk questioned
"Not in ten years" AJ mumbled "What about Ultra Violet?"
"Out of anywhere in the world he comes here to your club" Punk said still looking at him
"How does he even know this is my club?" AJ asked him
"He knows an awful lot about you and me for that matter" Punk said to her then walked towards the door.
"No" AJ said jumping out of her seat and blocking his way out of the office "Phil please we've had enough close calls."
"I'm not going to start a fight and even if I did I'm pretty sure I'd kick his ass" Punk said smugly
"He's a trained fighter" AJ told him
"That little guy?" Punk asked stunned
"He used to wrestle" AJ said to him "You'd be surprised how tough he really is and strong"
"Aren't you curious?" Punk asked her
"Yes I am but I'm not going to poke a sleeping lion" AJ said to him "All this shit with Seth, Randy- it's just too much" she argued "I'm tired of fighting with them can't we just leave it?"
"Not when your safety is a concern" Punk said looking down at her
"I'm not at risk" AJ laughed "It's just Daniel"
"I'm sure Celeste thought the same exact thing" Punk argued
"You really think he killed her?" AJ asked "First Randy, Jeff and now Daniel?"
"I wasn't as sure with the other ones as I am with this guy" Punk told her "There's something wrong with that man. He has a violent past"
"Why would he want to hurt me or Celeste?" AJ asked him "It makes no sense. I honestly can't think of any reason as to why he would."
"Maybe he's still in love with you" Punk suggested
"Daniel has never loved me" AJ laughed "And again it's been years so why out of the blue would he decide to come all the way to Chicago and kill my friend?"
"Why out of the blue is he sitting in our club right now?" Punk challenged
"I don't know" AJ sighed "And I really don't care to know."
"Jeff said he saw our picture in the paper" Punk told her "That's why he started asking questions your photo triggered something"
"I wasn't the only one in the photo" AJ reminded him "Maybe it's you"
"Me?" Punk laughed "No I don't think so"
"I don't know Phil you have your fair share of enemies" AJ accused "Maybe you've pissed him off somehow. His family had a big business in Jersey maybe you stepped on his toes somehow"
"I would remember him" Punk said to her "He's got one of the ugliest faces I have ever seen in my life- trust me I wouldn't have forgotten it"
"He didn't always look like that" AJ reminded him "No facial hair, a buz cut"
"You think he's attractive?" Punk asked
"I don't mind facial hair or long hair on a man" she said to him with a smile
"You'd be ok if I grew my beard out like that? And my hair?" he asked
"I don't know how I'd feel about the beard but longer hair I'd like because you know how I like to pull at it during sex" She teased
"Not doing that" Punk said to her "Used to have long messy hair like that and it was horrible"
"Fine" She shrugged "Now go back to your chair and help me pick a name for the club"
"I can't concentrate with him here" Punk said almost childishly
"Why? He's not bothering anyone and I'm right here in front of you" she reminded him "But if you'd like I'll go down and talk to him and find out why he's here"
"Oh yea that's a great idea" Punk said surprising her "Even better it's kind of loud down there, how about you two go outside by yourselves maybe in his rental car and lock the doors? Just make sure you leave a trail of breadcrumbs so I can track you to whatever basement he locks you in"
"You're very dramatic" AJ smirked "Not everyone is bad Phil"
"A majority of people are" Punk said to her "When have I been wrong?"
"Ok really?" AJ laughed "Jeff, Randy-"
"First of all Jeff isn't a saint, Randy is still a shady piece of shit, Seth is a lunatic and please don't get me started on your newfound father and brother" he said holding his hand up. He walked back over to the window and looked down. "Good he's gone"
"Great! Let's get back to work" AJ said to him
"I'm too worked up to work" Punk said taking a seat on the couch and winced slightly
"What's wrong? Is it your ribs?" She asked standing over him.
"I don't know I think it's a cramp" he said holding his side
"Let me see" She insisted getting on her knees and lifting his shirt slightly "Here?" she asked touching a spot
"No a little lower" He said watching her hand move lower.
"Here?" she asked touching below his belly button
"Lower" He said and she looked up at him and shot him an un-amused look
"You're such a perv" She scolded
"What?" He asked with a laugh "It hurts"
"No sex at work" AJ reminded him "And don't fake pain unless it's real"
"It's not full sex" Punk defended "And the pain is real. You're wearing a little red dress"
"You are so bad" AJ said sitting next to him on the couch "We have so much work to do"
"We just need a name" Punk shrugged "Come on" he said grabbing her hands and kissing her cheek "Just a short break" he then began to kiss down her neck and she was losing her resolve.
"Short" AJ warned "Fast" she corrected
"I can do fast" He assured her moving his hand between her legs and up her dress.
"We're never going to get anything done ever are we?" She asked as she closed her eyes enjoying his lips on her neck and his fingers playing with her
"This is the best part about working together" Punk reasoned as he tugged her panties down. He then undid his own pants and looked over to her. "My ribs are still a little sore" he said implying she had to ride him.
"Lazy too" AJ laughed kicking off her heels and moved to straddle him "You get me all hot and bothered and now want me to do all of the work"
"I'm giving you full control" Punk said to her "That's pretty awesome of me."
"Actually you talked me into this so technically you're in control" AJ pointed out "And I think you just lying there and taking it"
"I'd take anything from you" he said deadly serious
"How are your lips?" She teased running her thumb over the bottom one "Can you still kiss me?"
"I think they're ok" Punk said innocently. AJ leaned forward and captured his lips as his arms wrapped around her petite frame and tugged her close to his chest. While tonguing each other like teenagers she felt his shaft grow incredibly hard.
"I can't believe how easy it is to get you turned on" she teased
"Honey I've said it before and I'll say it again- all you have to do is look at me" He said seriously. AJ smiled and then lifted herself over him and teased him briefly before dropping down his shaft with ease. Before continuing to move AJ kissed him one more time then pulled away and placed her hands on his shoulders and used the leverage to lift herself up and down.
"Fuck yes" Punk groaned as his hands moved to her ass and squeezed, pinched and massaged it.
"You're an ass man" She noted
"I love your ass" He agreed "One of the first things I noticed about you, I saw you in the office and you got up to make a copy or something"
"You just wanted my ass" she teased
"I did" Punk admitted "Then I wanted this" he said kissing her left breast over her heart which was easy given how low cut her dress was.
"You have it" She said to him
"I know and I'm going to take such good care of it" He promised. AJ continued to move but Punk needed to speed this up and moved his hand over her clit and massaged it.
"Jesus Phil" she cried "You gotta slow down" she warned but he ignored her until she came.
AJ didn't even get a chance to come down from her high when she felt Punk lift her off of him and drop her onto the couch so she was lying straight across it. Punk grabbed her right leg and hitched it over his shoulder and slid right back into her.
"Your ribs" AJ moaned. She knew he shouldn't be doing this but she was enjoying it too much.
"They're better then new" he said as he pushed into her with full force causing her to scream out in pleasure.
"You tricked me" she managed to choke out
"So fucking worth it" he grunted as he slapped into her body repeatedly.
"Yes" she agreed in a moan happily
Facing the back of the office Punk and AJ wouldn't know if someone walked in and as usual did not lock the door because they just never put much thought into it when they would jump each others bones. The door opened on a crack and the all that could be heard was moans and skin slapping together. Daniel peeked in and smiled as he saw his former girlfriends leg hitched over her husband's shoulder and both were so into what they were doing they had no idea they had an audience. Daniel didn't hang around long though; he slowly crept out of the office and closed the door quietly behind him.
"What are you doing weirdo?" Dean asked Daniel
"What did you just call me?" Daniel asked with a laugh
"This is a VIP lounge you are not a VIP" Dean informed him
"I think I know the owners" Daniel said to him "I was just checking the office"
"I'm sure you don't" Dean smirked grabbing Daniel by the arm and leading him down the stairs
"I'm pretty sure AJ Mendez works here" Daniel said to him
"I don't know an AJ Mendez" Dean shrugged "I know an AJ Brooks"
"That's right" Daniel said to him "Is she in?"
"She's occupied" Dean said walking him to the exit "Also you're being thrown out so it doesn't really matter" he then tossed Daniel out "Have a great night you creepy looking freak" he said with a wave then slammed the door.
Daniel couldn't help but laugh at the mildly funny bouncer and began to walk to his car. Getting tossed out didn't bother him in the slightest. Daniel got into his car and turned on the light and grabbed the file he had there. The file was large but it had nothing to do with AJ, it was all about Punk. He had everything from newspaper clippings, school transcripts and even his adoption papers.
Daniel couldn't believe his luck when he came across the photo of AJ and Punk at the Klein's fundraiser- all of this time trying to find a way in and a girl he used to screw was going to get him his foot in the door. Hopefully AJ would be more corporative then Celeste was.
"Soon big brother" Daniel said looking at Punk's photo then closed the file.
When Daniel heard laughing he looked up but turned off the light in his car and sure enough there was Punk and his wife. Clearly after fooling around at work they were done for the day and decided to head home for the night. He watched as Punk kept an almost protective hand at her lower back as he led her towards his car. Daniel eyed them carefully as Punk opened AJ's door for her and helped her in before walking over to the driver's side and then drove right past him unnoticed. Daniel pulled out of his spot but kept his lights off as he followed the two home. He already knew where Punk was living, he had known for quit some time actually but he was more interested in how Punk lived his life. He parked a house down and watched as Punk repeated the gesture and helped AJ out of the car and walked her into the home. Punk was obsessed with guarding AJ but he had no idea she wasn't the intended victim, he was but he would learn it very soon.
