Anniversary Surprises

Punk dropped AJ off at the pet shop on his way into the gym. She knocked at the door because she was there long before opening. Luis opened the door to let her in.

"I wasn't expecting to see you." AJ noted stepping inside.

"My two clerks quit." Luis groaned. "I was just starting up the register for you."

"Alone already?" AJ asked him.

"It's the same place it was a year ago except the cash register is new." he said walking her behind the counter.

The old register was a classic this was a touch screen computer. She still had trouble using her cellphone how would she master this?

"Oh wow." AJ said looking at it.

"What's wrong with it?" he asked annoyed.

"It's just very advanced." AJ shrugged.

"You strike me as a smart girl who will figure it out." Luis said to her. "I'll have somebody come by in a few hours to relive you. And this is yours." He said handing her plastic bag. She opened it in front of him and scrunched up her nose. "Something wrong with this too?"

"It's a uniform." She frowned taking it out of the bag.

"Yes it is." Luis agreed annoyed.

"It's ugly." She pointed out.

"Do you want to work here?" Luis asked her.

"Of course I do it's just you don't need to promote your computer software on this uniforms. Not many people come in here and the ones that do are older and don't even have computers." AJ informed him.

"This is a shop that people have been coming to for years, loyal customers. Those extra big bags of food are going to be heavy for our elderly customers who walk here and carry the stuff home. If they wanted big bags of food they would go to a bigger pet store."

"What else?" Luis asked intrigued.

"You have the birds in the window and with the weather changing they're going to get sick." AJ said to him. "You should move them back. Also all of these upscale treats, we offer natural selections because they're healthier and cheaper. A lot of our customers only came here for those specific treats because we're the only place that would sell them."

"I'm a little out of my element here." Luis reminded her.

"And I'm right at home." She said removing her light jacket and putting it behind the counter.

"Fine." Luis said to her. "Move the birds and call my assistant and tell her what needs to be ordered." He said passing her his personal business card. "You can also call me if you have any questions."

"I might when I don't know how to work this register." She noted.

"It's top of the line." Luis argued. "It's harder for people to steal."

"So what happens if someone comes in and puts a gun to my face demanding money and I can't get it opened?" she asked folding her arms.

"I doubt that will happen." Luis smirked.

"I got held up here last year." AJ told him. "Thankfully the register was easy to open."

"I didn't know that." Luis said to her. "Were you harmed?"

"No." AJ said to him. "Joe always told me to give whatever they want."

"Well, he was right." Luis agreed. "There's a key in the office taped under the desk that will open the register if there is an emergency."

"Do I have to wear the shirt?" AJ asked holding up the uniform.

"I'd prefer it but I imagine you do whatever it is you want." Luis said putting on his jacket.

"I work for you. If you want me to wear this lame shirt I'll wear it." She said to him.

"We'll discuss it at a later date." Luis said to her. "Do you think you'll be alright?"

"Is everything all moved around?" She asked him. "I have to feed the animals and I don't want to waste time searching high and low. Or did you feed them already?"

"No." Luis chuckled. "I don't do that sort of thing."

"You don't feed helpless animals?" she asked seriously.

"I have people who do that." Luis said to her. "But they weren't fed today."

"I'll show you." She said walking to the back.

"I really don't have time." Luis said following her.

"Your grandfather showed me a few tricks to get it done fast." She said to him. "He used to love feeding the animals."

"I know." Luis said quietly.

"Just stay half an hour and get your hands a little dirty for once in your life." She said to him.

"I've gotten my hands dirty before." He defended.

"Oh yea?" She asked amused.

"Yea I fix up old cars in my free time. I'm always elbow deep in grease." He told her.

"So you won't mind being elbow deep in birdseed." She teased.

Punk worked out for hours but couldn't do much without completely wrecking his back. He knew AJ would be getting out of work at around two so he walked next door to hang out with her until she was ready to go. He walked in and saw her giggling at something Luis was saying to her.

"Hey." AJ greeted with a smile seeing him walk in. "Are you all done for the day?"

"I am. You?" he asked her.

"You can go April." Luis said to her.

"Let me just grab my stuff from the office." She said to him and walked to the back.

"You work out of a rundown pet shop now?" Punk asked him.

"I'm just learning a few things." Luis said to him. "I saw your first two fights and they were very impressive." he said sticking his hand out to Punk.

"Thanks." He said back shaking his hand.

"I was wondering if we could talk sponsorship at some point?" Luis questioned.

"You're kidding?" Punk asked with a laugh.

"You're not interested?" Luis asked with a smug grin.

"I'm very interested I'm just surprised. Not many computer geniuses approach fighters for promotion." Punk shrugged.

"Well, they would if they were smart. You're draw the perfect demographic for me." Luis told him. "Do you have an agent or manager?"

"Yea you can contact Paul Heyman." Punk said pulling out his phone and grabbing a pen and paper to write the number down.

"Very good." Luis said taking the paper.

"Ready." AJ said pulling her hair out of her jacket. "Bye." she said to Luis.

"Have a good day April, nice meeting you Punk." Luis said and Punk just nodded then followed AJ out.

Punk took AJ out for sushi for lunch and they were talking about the fight and everything that was coming up.

"You never told me how dinner went with your dad." Punk noted taking a bite out of his food.

"He never showed." AJ said to him and he frowned.

"AJ you were gone for hours." He pointed out.

"I was waiting." She shrugged eating her food. "He didn't tell me until later he couldn't make it."

"So he doesn't know you're moving back?" Punk asked her.

"He hasn't returned my calls I don't think he really cares." AJ admitted. "I was thinking of just going by the house tomorrow after work."

"Is that such a good idea?" Punk asked her.

"I want to see him." She said to him. "He's barely spoken to me since I left. I have no idea how he's doing."

"He shouldn't be mad at you for wanting to live your life." Punk said to her. "You have nothing to feel guilty over."

"I don't. I just want him to be part of my life." She sighed.

"How was work?" He asked. "Luis seems nicer then the other day."

"He's really not bad." AJ said to him. "He's grieving for his grandfather and I get that." Punk just nodded along. "I didn't realize he was a UFC fan."

"He is." AJ said to him. "He was talking about being at UFC100 and being good friends with Brock Lesnar." She smirked.

"You guys talked about a lot of stuff." Punk pointed out.

"Not really." She said to him. "Are you jealous?" She teased.

"I'm not jealous of that guy." Punk laughed. "Why would I be jealous of some lonely billionaire posing as a pet shop owner?"

"He's not posing." AJ smirked.

"I just liked it better when your boss was old Joe." Punk shrugged.

"You have nothing to worry about." She said to him. "He barely tolerates me."

"I doubt that." Punk scoffed. "You're young, beautiful and smart. He's lucky to have you working for him."

"Enough about work." She said to him. "Are you ready for weigh-in's in a few days?" AJ asked him.

"Yup. Going to be the first time I see Tommy." Punk said sipping his water and watched as reached across the table and took a piece of his sushi.

"Sharing is caring." she shrugged cutely placing the food into her mouth. "You also have to make weight."

"You're so supportive." He teased.

"Has Tommy been training out here?" AJ asked him.

"Yea across town." Punk said to her. "He wanted to come back to the gym for this week but I'm already there."

"Are the guys ok with you?" AJ asked him.

"Yea they've been good." Punk nodded eating. "A lot of them are new and don't even know me."

"You didn't overwork again did you?" She asked him.

"No but I'll lie and say I did if that guarantees you rubbing me down in the shower again." Punk grinned waggling his eyebrows.

"You don't have to hurt yourself to get that kind of attention." AJ flirted. "But that's running up. Your week before a fight rule expires today."

"I know." Punk said to her. "That's why I took half a day at the gym today. I want to go over to our new place tonight."

"Why?" She asked.

"I have a surprise." He said to her.

"You're full of surprises aren't you?" She teased as he grabbed her hand from across the table and pressed his lips to the back of her hand.

"This is a small world." a voice said hovering over them and Punk looked up and saw Tommy Parker with another man who he assumed was his manager.

"Tommy." Punk greeted dropping AJ's hand.

"Hey Punk." He said then looked at AJ. "AJ."

"Hi Tommy." she greeted quietly.

"One year later and we've come full circle." Tommy laughed. "Can you believe my luck? I get on my first pay-per-view card against someone who I know I'll win against it. It's going to be a hell of a debut."

"Why don't you save that talk for the press conference?" Punk suggested mockingly. "You know you don't have a chance hell but thankfully you've always been an expert at lying."

"We all have different talents." Tommy smiled. "Some of us have kept ours hidden."

"Alright I'll bite." Punk laughed leaning back in his chair. "What are you talking about?"

"Nothing about you. You lack talent." Tommy said to him and Punk smirked. "I was referring to AJ. Miss. Prude and sweatpants stripping down for the world to see. Now your body is pure talent."

Punk stood up from his seat causing the chair to fall but the man who was with Tommy stepped in-between them.

"Relax Punk." Tommy said seriously. "Did you expect me not to even mention it? I mean it was public."

"You don't get to talk to her about anything." Punk warned him.

"Relax." Tommy said to him. "I thought AJ had something going on last year when she was sweet and pure but clearly lying is a common talent." he said glaring down at AJ.

"Do you want to go right now?" Punk asked trying to get at him.

"I'm done now we were leaving anyway." Tommy said to him. "See you at the press conference."

"Fucking prick." Punk snapped picking his chair up and sitting down.

"He knows how to push your buttons and you let him." AJ pointed out. "He always says something about me to piss you off."

"Your the only button I have." Punk admitted. "He just gets to me more."

"Is it because what he said is true?" She asked him.

"One, you're not a liar and second, you are sweet and pure." Punk told her. "You should be proud of those photos."

"You didn't think so when you first saw them." She reminded him.

"No I didn't but I've grown." Punk said to her. "I didn't like the fact that you looked so good not that you looked bad. But you know what? I'm glad I saw him and he said stupid shit because that only motivates me."

"Ok I'm done." she said throwing her napkin down on the table. "I'm ready for my surprise now."

"What about my food?" he smirked.

"Hurry up." She said furring her brows at him.

"Maybe I'll take my time." He said slowly picking up a piece of sushi and placing it into his mouth and slowly chewing on it. "I want to savor the taste." He said with a full mouth. "Maybe I'll cut this last piece into fours and-" before he could finish AJ reached over and picked up the sushi and placed it into her own mouth.

"You're all finished." She said with a full mouth of her own.

"You're lucky you're so cute." He smirked reaching for his wallet.

Punk lead AJ into their new empty house that was filled with candles.

"Wow." She gasped. Not only were there candles but they went up the staircase with rose pedals.

"You like it?" he asked removing her jacket.

"Flowers and candles my two favorites." She smiled.

"Follow the pedals." He encouraged and she walked up the stairs and followed the pedals into the master bedroom. There was a blowup mattress covered with blankets, more candles and full bouquets of red roses. There had to be at least a dozen of bouquets.

"It's so beautiful." She smiled noting the lights from the city shinning into the room as well.

"That's not all." He said wrapping his arms around her waist as he came up behind her and in his hand was a small velvet box and AJ felt her heart dropped. She had made peace with the fact that Punk didn't want marriage or a family but she had always hoped deep down he would change his mind and realize he couldn't live without that commitment.

"Phil." She gasped taking the box from him and turning to face him. She had imagined since she was a little girl being proposed to but this was far beyond her expectations.

"Open it." He nodded and she quickly and happily opened the box.

Inside the box were black diamond stud earrings, not a big flashy diamond ring like she was secretly hoping for. They had to have cost him a fortune so even though she was disappointed she put in the biggest smile. "Do you like them?"

"They're beautiful." She smiled as her eyes watered up from the disappointed but hoped he thought it was from the excitement of the gift.

"It's been a year since we've been together. I don't remember the exact date but consider this an anniversary gift and a thank you." He said to her as she took them out of the box.

"Help me put them on." She said removing the earrings that were in her ears and he helped her put the new ones on. "Do I look ok?"

"Yea I just wish you weren't crying." He smirked running his thumb under her eye to dry her face.

"It's happy tears." She lied wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him into a kiss.

Punk guided her over to the mattress covered in thick blankets and she laid back on it. Punk got down on his knees and began to remove her belt then pushed her shirt up slightly and kissed her flat stomach then used his teeth to unhook the button to her jeans and pull the zipper down. He went back to open mouth kissing her belly as he used his hands to slowly pull down her jeans. Once they were discarded she pulled away and sat back on the bed and pulled her shirt off over head while he removed his own and then crawled on top of her.

AJ reached behind her back and pulled off her bra before Punk could settling on top of her body wearing only his jeans. He rolled over so she was on half on top of him and his mouth explored lower and began to suck on her left breast as if he was a starving man. AJ's hand moved between his legs and began to rub the bulge in his jeans. Punk's free hand moved underneath the rear of her panties and began to play with the flesh there and tease her. She was moaning as he switched breasts and rubbed him harder.

Punk pulled away from her breast when his growing erection became boarder line painful. He quickly pulled off his jeans and boxers and laid directly across her body and captured her mouth tenderly. His hand slipped into her panties and palmed her flesh. She began to arch up into him encouraging him for more contact and finally two fingers entered her warm body. His motions were slow and his thumb rubbed her clit. It only took a few minutes for her to cum and he took his fingers out of her underwear and placed his fingers into his mouth and sucked on them.

"You taste so fucking good." He groaned as she watched him with lustful eyes.

AJ kept her eyes on him as he enjoyed her taste on his fingers and she pulled her underwear down. She then licked her own hand and stroked him and practically tugged him back over her body. Punk lifted her right leg straight over her head and pressed his body down as he entered her. AJ's eyes widened and mouth gasped at the sharp intake. He moved his hips quickly as he penetrated her over and over again. He cupped her face and kissed her using just his lower half to roughly thrust into her welcoming body.

"Oh god." She groaned wrapping her arms around his neck.

His mouth moved to her neck but he wasn't kissing her, she could feel his hot breath as he pushed harder and harder into her. AJ was looking up at the tall ceiling as she he made love to her just the way she liked. Her face tightened as she felt her stomach began to twist in a way that she knew she had a satisfying orgasm about to roar through her body.

Punk was grunting as he felt his own release rapidly approaching. Her body tightened around his sending him into his own orgasm. He drizzled out of her body and released her leg and collapsed on her naked sweaty body. He was still inside of her as he tried to catch his breath while she ran her finger through his sweaty hair.

"Happy anniversary baby." He said finding the energy to lift his head.

"Happy anniversary, I love you." she told him honestly with a genuine yet exhausted face.

A/N: AJ got swerved! :)
