Chapter 5

A few weeks later, Daniella was sitting in a hotel room…The weather had been to bad to try and drive home from the PPV the night before…It was probably a good thing Dani and AJ had brought extra close. AJ had insisted Dani stay at the hotel cause she didn't need to be out in the rain storms…The winds were close to 80 mph. They'd been sharing a room since the night before the PPV.

AJ went ahead and went to the TNA tapings and Daniella knew what was going to happen…AJ had won the title from Jeff Jarret and that night Jeff was going to attack AJ with a chair so he could challenge him a re-match for a chance to get his title back. AJ warned Daniella it wouldn't be pretty and that he would more then likely be about as messed up as anyone could be after getting beat on with a metal fold up chair.

Daniella is pacing the floor of the hotel…She didn't know what to expect with AJ…They had started seeing each other exclusively…And were pretty much attached at the hip…but she'd never seen him after a really bad match…He usually went out, wrestled came back and was good to go…She'd seen him after he bladed a few times and could handle the blood no biggie…but she wasn't so sure she'd be able to handle what was going to happen that night.

AJ got out of his SUV and limped his way into the hotel…His whole body hurt all over as he stepped on the elevator to go to his and Dani's room. Speaking of Dani…As he looked at his reflection in the metal panel of the elevator, the first thing he noticed was that he should've changed…He didn't realize his shirt had so much blood all over it. Not to mention the fact that it had seeped through to his skin under the shirt.

Jeff and his fight had been brutal they both ended the match practically bleeding to death…Not to mention they'd both pretty much beat the living hell out of each other with metal fold up chairs. The elevator doors opened and AJ stepped off…He was hoping Dani wouldn't freak out too much…He really liked her and since he'd asked her to date him he's loved spending all his extra time with her.

AJ knocked on the door because he didn't feel like getting his key card out. Daniella opened the door and her hand immediately went over her mouth. AJ threw up his hands and said, "Wait…Wait…I know it looked bad…but it's really not…I promise." AJ could see the concern swimming in Daniella's eyes as she lead him into the room and laid him down on the bed in a sitting position with his back against the headboard.

AJ said, "I need to go shower." Daniella made him stay put and said, "You shouldn't get your stitches wet for the first 24 hours…it can cause them to come undone…Just stay there…There are other alternatives." AJ watches as she grabbed the plastic bucket that is supposed to be used for ice and she disappears into the bathroom…He can hear the water running and then she reappears with a big bath towel and a hand towel and the ice bucket full of warm water.

Daniella sits on the edge of the bed facing AJ as she slowly started unbuttoning his once white shirt turned blood red literally. She carefully slips it from his arms and body careful not to hurt him and drops it in a laundry bag…She knows a great dry cleaner…the shirt can be saved.

AJ watches intently as she soaks the wash cloth in the warm water rings it out and slowly started running it down his chest, over each pectoral, making sure to get all the blood off…Then rinses it…then runs it down his 6 pak abs and stomach and the sides of his love handles. After ringing the water again she does his right arm and then his left. AJ can feel his body responding to her touches…She's so careful; he almost wants to laugh because she's treating him with kid gloves…as if he were made of glass.

When she's finished…She laid a pair of track pants across the foot of the bed. Daniella kisses the top of his head and says, "I'm going to go shower…Get changed and I'll join you in a few minutes." AJ smiled softly at her loving way of handling the whole situation. AJ changes into his track pants and she comes out of the bathroom in her usual sleep attire shorts and a tank top. She turns the lights off and AJ pulled her close to him as they lay in bed.

Daniella's head is resting on his chest and he kisses the top of her head and said, "Thank you." Daniella smiled up at him and kisses his lips softly and says, "Anytime…Get some rest." AJ nods and said, "G'night." Dani smiled softly to herself and gets comfortable next to AJ and says, "Night."

Who could ask for anything more?
