Hope you all enjoyed the first chapter. This chapter will mostly be in AJ's point of view. Enjoy!

Recap: Heather, unwillingly, signed a contract to get her back into TNA as AJ Styles' arm candy. AJ wants to try to make amends but since he was the one that told Heather to try the move that got her injured, she isn't having any of it. AJ calls Heather's brother, Jeff, to set up a party so he could try again.

Phenomenal Mistake

No matter what I did, I thought about Heather. Part of me had always been fond of her when she debuted in TNA, it was the reason I had agreed to give her some tips. The night that Heather injured herself after I told her to try that new move we were working on, haunted me every time I fell asleep. I had countless nightmares where all I would see was her falling, over and over again. I sat in my car, trying my hardest to get the image of Heather falling out of my head. I started the car and drove towards the mall. It wasn't the manliest admission but I firmly believe in shopping therapy. I went through the mall, slipping into some stores and passing by others. I bought a few things for my kids and went back to the hotel. It's been a lonely life for me since my wife divorced me. I was suspected to be cheating on her but to be honest, I just plain lost interest. I decided it would be a good day for a swim so I changed into my swim trunks and headed out to the pool. Luckily, there weren't a lot of people down by the pool today. My guess was that they were out on the beach since it was so close to the hotel. I plopped my bag and towel onto a chair and headed towards the shallow end of the pool. The warm water felt amazing after feeling so tense from meeting Heather again. I swam to the deep end and back again, hoping to swim away all the fears I had of trying to win Heather over. On my second lap, I thought I heard someone say my name but the water distorted my hearing. It was only when I was hit in the head with a pool toy that I looked to see where the voice was coming from. I hopped out of the pool and went for my towel but it wasn't there. I could barely see with all the water in my face so I really needed my towel. Out of nowhere, a pair of hands turned me around and I felt them start to wipe the water off my face. The touch was way too soft to be from a guy and when the water was wiped away, there was Heather Hardy standing in front of me. "Heather?"

"Yeah, I don't know why I'm down here either." The Southern drawl in her voice was doing wonders on my ears...and my trunks. I went to say something but she put her hand up to stop me. "Don't make me leave; I really don't want to."

"I wasn't going to, Heather." I draped my towel over my shoulders and sat down on the plastic chair.

"You...weren't, AJ?" I shook my head. "After the way I acted at the meeting, you-"

"I told you I wanted to start fresh and I mean it, Heather." I patted a spot on the chair next to me, letting Heather know that she could sit next to me. She smiled softly and sat down next to me. "I thought you hated me for what I did."

"You're dense, aren't you?"

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"I looked up to you, AJ, I still do. You're the inspiration for me even being in the business. It wasn't either of my brothers, no matter how hard they pushed me to join them. I took one look at you and said 'that's what I want to be able to do.' Phenomenal isn't just a stage name, AJ." She put her hand on my knee, causing me to swallow hard.

"Thanks. That means a lot coming from you." Way to go genius! "I mean, that came out wrong." As I struggled to find the right words to say, I neglected to realize that Heather's face was coming closer to mine. I finally realized what she was doing when she was practically sharing my swim trunks with me. I went to say her name but she kissed me softly on the lips.

"You have no idea how long I wanted to do that." She stood up, kicked off her sandals and slipped off the t-shirt she was wearing. I swallowed hard when she turned her head and caught me staring. She winked and jumped into the pool, coming back up and swimming over to the edge of the pool. "Come on in, AJ. I won't bite...hard." My legs started working on their own and leading me to the pool. Once I was close enough, Heather grabbed my arm and yanked me into the pool. I came back to the surface spitting the water out of my mouth while Heather was laughing.

"That wasn't funny!"

"The hell it wasn't! It was the funniest thing I've seen all day." I swam over to her and pinned her against the pool wall.

"I'm glad I can brighten your day, Heather." I watched the water drip down Heather's face, transfixed as I felt myself move in closer. Heather scared me when she grabbed my neck but all my fear washed away when she brought her lips to mine. Maybe I didn't need Jeff's help with Heather; I seemed to be doing just fine by myself.
