Lost Dog
AJ and Punk had left LA with Paul and were now in Vegas. Although AJ was happy to be with Punk she was seeing him even less. He trained for days in LA while she sat back at the hotel and now that they were in Vegas he was off meeting with important people and she was again back in the hotel.
"Why so gloom?" Paul asked using his key to enter the lavish hotel room.
"I'm not gloom I'm just trying to figure out how to use this phone." She said looking at the I-Phone Punk had gotten for her two weeks ago.
"You've been hiding away in here all day." Paul said to her.
"I can't run around with Punk so I'm just here." She shrugged.
"You seem down but don't worry I've got you taken care of because tonight is a fight and you and Phil will be sitting cage side with me." Paul smiled.
"I can't go." AJ laughed putting her phone down. "You guys should go and have fun."
"I won't look as good on Phil's arm as you do." Paul teased.
"I don't have anything to wear" AJ said to him.
"You do now." Paul smiled walking her over to the closet. "I took it upon myself I hope you don't mind." he said pulling out the dress. "I had it brought up from the boutique downstairs."
"Paul I can't accept this." AJ said to him.
"It's a loner." Paul said to her. "Free! They just want someone sitting so close to cameras wearing the dress."
AJ walked over to the short red dress and touched the silky material and eyed it. It really wasn't her style but she didn't know how to tell Paul no.
"Not only that though, I have someone coming up to do your hair and makeup." Paul told her.
"Do you not like the way I look Paul?" AJ asked curiously.
"Of course I do!" Paul laughed. "But you're playing a part now. You're expected to dress and look a certain way at certain events. This isn't meant to insult you it's meant to pamper you."
"Ok." AJ said agreeing since she didn't want to embarrass Punk.
"Trust me this will be fun." Paul assured her.
Punk only had half an hour to get ready for the fights and was really hoping he'd get to spend that half an hour with AJ. When he walked into the hotel room he saw Paul sitting on the bed next to AJ showing her how to use her phone. But what really caught Punk's attention was the way AJ looked. She was wearing a beautiful red dress, heels, hair done, makeup caked on and giggling closely with Paul.
"Hey." AJ greeted noticing him first standing up. "How do I look?"
"Amazing." He said with a forced smile. "Where did you get the dress?"
"Paul." AJ said nodding towards him.
"I was looking for you Paul." Punk noted. "Everyone was asking for you."
"I heard you did just fine." Paul said standing up as well. "I have your suit set aside and freshly pressed."
"Great can I have a minute?" Punk asked him.
"Sure thing Phil." Paul said then turned to AJ.
"I'll see you down there AJ." he said touching her arm then walking away.
"How was your day?" AJ asked him.
"Busy. Met with a bunch of people trying to make some connections you clearly had a good day." he noted eyeing her.
"I was doing nothing until Paul came up." AJ said to him.
"Was he here all day with you?" Punk asked grabbing his suit.
"Just the last few hours." AJ said to him. "Do you like the dress? He picked it out for me."
"I figured he did." Punk noted. "Did you color your hair?"
"They darkened it, do you like it?" she asked.
"You look great." He said to her.
"You're upset." AJ noted. "When really I should be the one who's upset."
"Why would you be upset?" Punk asked her.
"I know you were going to be busy this week but I expected to spend a little more time together." AJ said to him. "I've seen you for a total of twenty minutes this entire week. I have been in a hotel room for hours upon hours."
"This hotel room is a palace." Punk argued. "You should be considering this a vacation."
"I don't care where I am it's all about who I'm with." AJ argued back. "I could be sleeping outside in the cold or on a roof of a gym eating hot dogs as long as you're there with me."
"You weren't exactly alone." Punk pointed out.
"You think I'd rather spend time with Paul?" AJ laughed but Punk seemed serious. "Are you serious right now?"
"You've been hanging out with him a lot and what a lovely dress he hand picked for you." Punk remarked sarcastically.
"I hope you're not implying what I think you're implying." AJ warned him. "Are you accusing me of what I think you're accusing of me?"
"I'm not accusing you of anything but having a lot of fun with Paul." Punk shrugged getting undressed and reaching for his suit.
"You are crazy." She laughed.
"You like older men." Punk noted.
"Paul has just been keeping me company." AJ defended.
"Which is odd since hes' supposed to be at all of these events with me." Punk pointed out.
"I thought I was supposed to be with you at these events." AJ said folding her arms. "Are you jealous that Paul has been hanging out with me and neglecting you?"
"I'm not jealous of Paul." Punk scoffed. "I am alarmed by how much time he insists on spending with you and how much you enjoy it."
"It's been nice to not look at the walls all day everyday this week and to have someone to talk to." AJ argued. "And speaking of Paul maybe I should be the jealous one."
"I'm not jealous." Punk added in again quickly.
"How come he gets to call you Phil?" AJ asked him.
"What?" Punk asked with a laugh as he put on his suit.
"Why are you Phil to him but Punk to me?" she asked him. "Are we not serious enough where I can't call you by your real name?"
"You've never asked to." Punk pointed out. "You can call me whatever you want but everyone calls me Punk."
"But I'm not just 'everyone'." AJ pointed out.
"You're not." He agreed. "I didn't know it bothered you."
"After this week I just feel like one of your buddies and not your girlfriend." AJ insisted. "I thought you wanted me along for this ride not just a warm body to sleep next to at night."
"I didn't know this was how it was going to be." Punk said with a sigh. "I'm sorry you felt left out or lonely."
"I like watching you succeed and I love watching how close you're getting to accomplishing all of your dreams and I'll sit in any empty hotel room you want me to but don't accuse me of cheating on you or wanting to spend time with a man who isn't you." She argued.
"I'm glad you're here." Punk said to her. "And I suck for not being around you this week but coming back every night and knowing you were here waiting for me and wanting to listen to how I did has helped me the most this week and I know how busy I've been and I promise you that we're going to have some quality time. No running out for meetings, no training, no Paul- just us."
"Let's just finish this week up first." AJ said to him. "Do you really think I look ok? I only let this happen because I didn't want to embarrass you."
"You could never embarrass me." Punk said seriously. "You could have dressed in sweats and tied your hair back and I would have been proud to have you on my arm."
"There's nothing going between me and Paul." AJ said to him.
"Maybe I am a little jealous of him." Punk admitted.
"You have to know that I would never-" she started.
"-I don't think anything physical is going on." Punk said to her. "I'm jealous he gets spoil you in a way that I can't."
"This is all on loan." AJ laughed.
"It doesn't matter." Punk said to her. "He shows up with first class tickets, lavish hotel rooms and now he's treated you like a princess."
"I'm not a princess." AJ smirked. "And this means nothing I'm just excited to sit next to you all night."
"Well before we go I want you to know that I got another fight but this one is going to be in front of a lot of UFC executives. They're looking for new talent." he told her.
"That's amazing!" she cheered. "When is the fight?"
"Next month." He said slipping on his dress shoes. "I'm nervous."
"You're never nervous." AJ frowned.
"This is different. This could be my only opportunity." Punk said to her. "It's going to make or break me."
"You're unbreakable." AJ said simply. "You've got this."
"What if I choke?" he asked her. "What if all of this work has been for nothing?"
"Do you love what you're doing?" she asked him.
"You know I do." he said to her.
"So no matter what happens it wasn't for nothing." She said to him. "You're very inspiring."
"How so?" he asked her.
"Look at how many years you've worked towards this and it's finally happening for you. You used to come into the shop bloodied and bruised and tired but with every knock out you motivated yourself." AJ said proudly. "You wanted something and you worked your ass off."
"I'm not there yet." He reminded her.
"You have a manager, your getting paid more and more for fights and look at where we are right now." she smiled gesturing around the room. "Important people know who you are and are watching you."
"I'm getting good money for this next fight." He had to admit. "And when I get paid I promise to take you somewhere amazing."
"I don't want anything amazing I just want you to kick ass." AJ said to him.
"I'm going to try." he said to her.
"No you're going to do it." She corrected. "Because I know you can and will."
A few days later Punk was back in Chicago training.
"Look who it is." Dean laughed greeting him. "Saw you on TV."
"Well the next time you see me on TV for the UFC I hope I'm in the cage." Punk said to her.
"Word on the street is that it's happening and soon." Dean noted. "I'm happy for you. Well, a tad bit bitter and jealous but mostly happy. I do appreciate you name dropping the gym I've been getting a lot of calls, probably not as many as you have."
"Probably not." Punk gloated heading into the locker room with Dean following.
"You know when I saw you on TV-" Dean stopped when he looked at Punk's locker that had a paper attached to it.
"Who did it?" Punk asked calmly ripping the picture down. It was a photo of AJ probably from a year ago with 'Lost Dog' written under it.
"No idea." Dean defended. "I saw her on TV and trust me man no one thinks she looks like a dog."
"Where is he?" Punk asked him.
"He was in the weight room." Dean said and Punk turned and walked out of the locker room.
Punk hurried into the weight room and saw Tommy sipping a bottle of water and slapped it out of his hand.
"What the fuck?" Tommy hissed.
"What did I tell you?" Punk demanded holding the flyer in his face.
"That's funny." Tommy laughed looking at it. "I didn't do it though."
"Why do you insist on pushing my buttons where AJ is concerned?" Punk demanded.
"You can't even take a joke anymore." Tommy said almost disgusted. "You've really let this extra attention get to your head. You used to be one of the guys and now you're too good."
"I am too good." Punk remarked harshly.
"I didn't make that poster but it's kind of funny since AJ is far from a dog anymore. Isn't it interesting the minute you start getting a little attention she starts showing off more?" Tommy asked him.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Punk asked him.
"Maybe the fame hasn't just gone to your head." Tommy defended.
"She's the most genuine person in my life." Punk informed him.
"We always joke around about who we're seeing." Tommy reminded him.
"I'm not 'just seeing her' and it's more than that." Punk told him. "I get you're jealous of my sudden success and the fact that I landed AJ."
"Jealous over her?" Tommy laughed.
"You saw her on TV I'm sure." Punk remarked smugly. "You fucked up because you had the opportunity with her first and like everything else in your life you blew it. Same as you've blown every fight and every-" he was cut off when Tommy punched him in the face and Punk moved to strike back but Dean pulled him away.
"Don't risk getting hurt and definitely don't risk breaking those hands." Dean insisted.
"Get off me!" Punk yelled at Dean.
"Look at the bigger picture here." Dean argued. "You break that hand there goes your big fight just go cool off."
"Pussy." Tommy muttered under his breath.
Punk wen to lunge but Dean again blocked him.
"Stop and think." Dean warned him as he pushed him out of the room.
"I'm so sick of his shit!" Punk yelled.
"Hit him, get hurt and then he wins when you end up losing everything you've been working towards." Dean said to him. "Why are you letting him get to you? You know he's just jealous."
"He can leave AJ out of it." Punk said to him. "I shouldn't have even come in today." he said to him. "I was just picking up my charger out of my locker."
"You're missing a day of training today?" Dean asked surprised.
"I'm going to hang out with AJ today." Punk said to him. "I didn't really get to hang around her too much in Vegas or LA."
"How are things with going with her?" Dean asked.
"She's great." Punk admitted. "I'm just trying to not blow it. I'm real excited about everything going on but I can't let it distract me from her either."
"I've never seen you so invested in a woman before." Dean smirked.
"I want it all." Punk said bluntly. "I want the career and the woman."
"There's going to be women throwing themselves at you soon." Dean pointed out. "You'll be in high demand everywhere."
"The only woman I want throwing themselves at me is her." Punk said to him. "We just connect in a way I can't describe."
"I hope you get it all." Dean said genuinely. "Don't blow it over some guy trying to get a rise out of you."
"Yea." Punk mumbled. "I'll see you tomorrow." he said to him then left.
"If you're bored you can go." AJ said looking over to Punk was playing on his phone while she worked.
"Not bored. I could watch you bend over and stock shelves all day." He smirked. "But don't you get bored here?"
"I play with the animals and I read." She shrugged.
"You really like being around animals, huh?" he asked her.
"I do." She said to him. "I'd love to have my own animal sanctuary one day." She confided. "A safe place for people to bring their animals when they can't take care of them anymore. Every animal welcomed and none killed."
"That sounds awesome." He smirked enjoying how passionate she was about this. "All animals?"
"That's right." She confirmed feeding the fish.
"What if someone brings a lion?" He asked seriously and she laughed.
"Why would someone have a lion?" AJ asked looking over to him.
"It's possible." Punk shrugged.
"I'd take the lion." She said to him. "No animal gets turned away."
"You have a pretty special heart." He said to her.
"It's alright." She teased.
"No I mean it." He said to her. "You dropped out of school to help with your dad, you helped when your mom got sick, you work like crazy and you never get anything in return."
"I don't do things to get things in return." AJ shrugged. "I like helping people I care about."
"People you care about? In Vegas you gave a hooker your sunscreen because she looked to be burning up." He laughed.
"I didn't know she was a hooker." AJ laughed. "Also, just because she was hooker doesn't mean she deserved for her skin to burn."
"You're right." He agreed. "Is it time to close yet?" he asked looking at the time.
"It is." She said locking the door. "Still have more to do."
"Like what?" he scoffed.
"I have to organize the receipts and put them in the office ." She said to him.
"You had like four customers how hard could that be?" he scoffed and followed her into the small office.
"Phil." She laughed feeling his strong arms wrap around her waist and his lips latched onto her neck.
"You said no kissing you on the clock, the doors are locked so I assume you're off the clock." he replied innocently.
"This is not appropriate." She giggled.
"Yet you're not pulling away." He noted turning her around and cupping her face to kiss her.
"Let's just go home." She said quickly dropping the receipts onto the desk.
"Which home?" He asked kissing her neck. "My place or yours?" his hands were now at her ass and playing with the plump flesh.
"Any home." She said desperately and gasped as he bit over her pulse point. "Now Phil." She demanded pushing him off of her.
AJ was laying in Punk's bed with only her bra on and her arms were bent as she gasped and moaned. Punk's face was buried between her thighs and he was feasting off of her juices like a man starved. Her back arched up as hit teeth nipped her clit then gently sucked on the sensitive spot. Punk was taking his time with her and even though she was loving it she still needed it to end because the urge to cum was strong.
"There you go." he smirked after seeing her body convulse before him.
He ran his tongue over her now swollen lips and nub one more time before kissing straight up her torso.
"That was so good." She groaned happily stretching as he finally reached her face and kissed her lips.
"Yea it was." he agreed hovering over her body.
"Oh yea?" she smirked. "You enjoy that?"
"You have no idea." He said with a sly smile. "You taste so good." he groaned dropping his hips in-between her legs and pressing his erection that was covered by the only thing he had on- his boxers- into her hot spot.
AJ reached down and tugged his boxers down just enough to free his hard member while he kissed her deeply. She stroked him a few times then teased herself with his head. She was moaning into the kiss and he pulled away to look down at her.
"Having fun?" he teased and she just nodded and bit on her bottom lip. "I'm clean." he said to her and now she looked confused. "I'm assuming you are too."
"I am." She said confused. "Are you trying to kill the mood?"
"I didn't bring anything with me." he said to her and now she understood.
"I'm on the pill." she told him and he nodded nipping at her lips. "Ok?" she asked and the minute she finished he was already pushing into her. "Oh god." she groaned as he pressed her harder into the mattress.
Punk's thrusts were short but hard and he kept his arm behind her head so she wouldn't hit the headboard and his other hand was gripping the bed sheets. AJ bent her knees so her feet with her flat on the bed and spread them as far as they could to accommodate his large figure. Punk's face was buried in her shoulder as his pace began to pick up.
"That's so good." she encouraged. "Harder Phil." She pleaded.
Punk moved harder and faster and she now wrapped her legs around his waist and held onto his body for dear life afraid that his hard motions would send her flying into the wall. She came quickly but he was still going. Her sweet gasps and moans only pushed him to go harder.
"I'm going to take such good care of you." He whispered into her ear.
AJ wanted to respond but when her mouth opened the only thing that came out was gasps.
"You make me very happy." He added, telling her the same thing she told him a few weeks back.
"I love you." She whispered quietly and at that very second she could feel him releasing into her body.
Before he left her body he pulled her into a bruising kiss and didn't stop. He would kiss her for hours if it were up to him. Both bodies were covered in sweat as he rolled over onto his back taking her with him so she was laying across his body, still connected inside of her, still kissing her. His hands moved to her bra which was the only article of clothing she still had on and began to unclasp it. AJ knew this was going to be a long night...
