Aksana's POV
After I beat Summer I looked up to see if Aj wa still there but she was gone. Where the hell did she go? Why the hell was she out here? I don't know if I'm mad or confused, but what I do know is that she had no buisness being out there in the first place. So after the ref raised my hand I made a beeline straight to her locker room for answers. When I got there I waisted no time walking in there.
"Alright Aj you have five-" Fuck she isn't here. Where the hell is she? After asking numerous people if they had seen her they all either didn't know or they think she left. I searched everywhere so I guess she did leave, I'll catch her at the hotel later hopefully. Now that I think about it what exactly am I going to say? I don't even know maybe it will just be a spur of the moment thing.
When I got to the front desk of the hotel I just decided to see if they could tell me where Aj's room is here.
"No sorry ma'am there is no April Mendes staying here." Spoke the clerk.
"Ok well try Aj Lee." I suggested she usually uses on of the two names when she checks in.
"Nope there isn't an Aj Lee here either." Damn it she must have checked into a totally different hotel. She must have just thought of everything before she showed up tonight.
"Ok thank you." I fake smiled and then went to head upstairs to my room. When I get there Zack is already in there, sometimes I give him my extra room key just incase I need him in the middle of the night or I want to just hang out.
"Hey you're back… are you ok? You look stressed." He said as he peeked out from inside the bathroom. So I just let out a groan and plopped down on the bed. "Well I take that as a no." He concluded as he walked out the bathroom in just a pair of shorts. His hair was wet and his abs were glistening with water droplets so he must have just got out the shower. Damn he looks sexy right now. "Do you want to talk about it?" He asked as he climbed into the bed with me.
"You see that stuffed ladybug over there on the table?" I asked.
"Yea I ment to ask you about that. Where did you get it from?"
"Well I got that and about fifty bouquets of white, pink, and red roses. Mostly pink roses though, all on Valentine's day. And they all came from one person all eight hundred of them."
"Well you must mean a lot to someone, because I imagine it isn't easy to find pink and white roses around here."
"It might be hard but clearly not impossable if Aj managed to find eight hundred of them." I said nonschlantly
"Wait what do you mean?"
"Aj sent me about eight hundred roses and a stuffed ladybug on Valentine's day."
"Oh well surely that couldn't be what has you upset today… is it?" He asked with concern.
"Nope. She decided that she would just come to the show today, and walk down the ramp during my match. And it just so happens that I was the only one who didn't know she would be there. That was until I ran into her when I was going to tape my wrist before my match." I said looking at him and he had on a very puzzled face.
"Oh well did she say anything to you?"
"Only that she just wanted to see me because she missed me." I could see him start to tense like he has something he wants to say but he is scared. After a minute of silence he spoke up.
"You know she probably wants you back?" He said not looking at me.
"Yea I know, but I'm not ready to forgive her yet. I'm not even sure what I want anymore." I sighed. I then felt him interlace his hand with mine.
"She does't deserve a second chance." He said looking me directly in the eye. "I know what I want. I know you probably aren't there yet, but just let me try. I know you loved Aj but she broke you and I can help you put the pieces back together. I can help you move on, and you can't tell me you never felt anything whenever we kissed because I know I felt something." He said genuinly. He is right I did feel something when we kissed, but it wasn't the same thing I felt with Aj.
"Zack you know I'm not mentally there yet. I'm broken if I wasn't good enough for her than that means eventually you will get tired of me just like she did."
"No just hear me out please. You aren't broken infact I think you are perfect down to the last detail. I don't know what the hell she was thinking when she decided to do that to you, because I know I would never in a million years be able to find a good enough reasons to betray you like she did nor would I want to. If anything you would probably be my mistress. But you don't have to worry about that because I'm not that kind of guy. But I know I can treat you like the queen that you are. Just give me a chance I promise you won't regret it." I was at a loss for words I don't know what to say to that. "You don't have to decide right now I will let you think about it for a while. I just want you to be sure, so you won't regret it in the end. Anyways I'm gunna go I'll see you later." And with that he kissed me and then left the room. Did he just ask me to be his girlfriend? But I don't know if I'm completely over Aj. I know I could never love him or anybody like I loved her. I would be lying if I said I didn't have feelings for Zack, I'm just not sure if I should act upon it.
You can only imagine how much sleep I got that night. I didn't get much, but I did switch my flight to tomorrow afternoon that way I can sleep in my own bed for the night and see my Devo. I miss him he always know how to cheer me up, or if I just need a friend to talk to. So the next afternoon I got my things together and got on my flight back to Tampa, then I drove to the dog hotel and picked up my baby boy. And we drove home.
I know Devo can tell something is wrong because he wouldn't leave my side at all. Everything was exactly how I left it before I left. Even the empty space in my closet is still there, I haven't found the courage to move my stuff back over. So I just decide to wash some clothes and take Devo for a walk. After that we just hung out until it was dinner time. I just ordered out I didn't find the need to cook. After that we just went to bed it was weird because usually he always cuddled with me, except for when Aj was here he cuddled with her. And he must miss her too because he slept on her side of the bed.
I slept ok I suspose, I just can't seem to get what Zack said to me out my head. I want to but at the same time I'm scared to try again. I don't want to get hurt again, I don't think I could handle another heartbreak. I dunno but I figured I would just start to get ready for the show later. I don't know who has a match tonight because its a supershow again tonight so it could be anybody. After I finished packing I figured I would take Devo with me to the show. So we left for the show.
It didn't take long for me to get there. When I did I figured I would put my bags in the Divas locker room for the night. I know I can only ignore him for a little bit but I still need to think about it. I did my usual routine and talked to a few people. I found out that it is to be Aj and Tamina vs. The Bellas tonight. I might as well watch it I heard Aj has a new attire and I can't wait to see what it looks like. That match was to take place in a couple minutes so me and Devo went to one of the backstage monitors to watch the match. As I walked I saw Alicia sitting in front of one so I sat next to her.
"Hey." I spoke before Devo decided to jump out of my arms and onto Alicia.
"Devo! Hey buddy its been so long." She cooed as he licked her face. "Anyways I assume you came to see Aj's match too huh?"
"Yea after that stunt she pulled on Saturday you damn right I want to watch. Plus I heard she has new gear so I want to know what it looks like." I shrugged looking down at my phone.
"Ha well when you said she has new they weren't kidding, and it definitly stands out from the others. Look." When I looked up at the screen I couldn't help but stare in disbelief.
Aj had on her normal boots, but they were laced with yellow, green, and red shoe laces. She wore her regular denim jorts except the pockets they were colors of the Lithuanian flag, and on the butt it had I'm Sorry spray painted across it in white. Her shirt was a cut plain white Tee that was airbrushed yellow, green, and red with I Love You in black. She even had Lithuanian flag colored wristbands.
"Wow." Was all I could say as she skipped around the ring.
"I think she might be trying to tell you something." Alica spoke still stareing at the screen. I wasn't sure if my mind was playing tricks on me, but I don't care I need to see it in person.
"Umm Alicia watch Devo for me I will be right back." I spoke not letting her answer as I quickly got up and sped off to the gorilla, and walked through the curtian. When I started down the ramp the fans started to cheer loud. Aj was in the ring at the time. I stopped halfway down the ramp when she saw me.
She looked up and smiled at me as we locked eyes. She then looked at Tamina and noded towards Nikki who was on the apron. Tamina ran over there and pulled her into the ring by her hair and kneed her in the gut, causing her to fall to her knees. Aj then looked at me and blew me a kiss before she turned and hit Nikki with a vicious shining wizard. After doing that she gave me a twisted smile and walked towards the ropes where I was standing then pointed at me. Causing the crowd to go nuts.
"This one is for you Love!" She yelled before she pounced on Brie and started to wail on her screaming until the ref pulled her off. She then began to skip circles around Brie until she was on her knees, then she positioned her so she was facing me. She then put her in the Black Widow hold, the whole time not breaking eye contact. It wasn't long before Brie tapped out, but she didn't let her go. She held it until the ref pulled her off. Lets light it up then began to blast through the speakers but we didn't lose eye contact, and the fans were loving it.
I was first to break eye contact when one of the Bella twins stumbled into me as they were going up the ramp. They look like they were just in a mosh pit at a heavy metal band concert, I kind of felt bad for them... Then I remembered I don't like them so I just smiled to myself and went back up the ramp and back through the curtian.
When I got backstage I wasn't really sure how I felt about what just happened, but I kind of just want to go home now. I then heard Devo barking, so I walked in his direction to see him bitting Zack on the nose.
"Ouch! ouch! ouch! let go doggy!" He screeched
"Devo what did mommy say about bitting people?" I scolded as I pulled him off Zack. "I'm sorry he only does that when he is hungry or tired."
"No its ok me and the little guy were just playing around." Zack smiled.
"Ok if you say so. Anyways where did Alica go?" I asked as I snuggled Devo.
"Oh she had to go do something so I told her I would watch him. Plus I need to talk to you."
"Oh what about?"
"What just happened, I just want to make sure you are ok."
"Oh ok." And with that I grabbed his hand and drug him to his locker room. When we got there I closed the door behind us and sat on the couch. "To be honest Zack I'm not sure how I feel about it. But it did remind me that I'm not entirely over her."
"But you can't go back to her she slept with your cousin."
"I know but its not an easy task to get over your first true love. But I don't want to go back to her, I want to move on."
"See there you go and then you have me. I can help you move on all you have to do is give me a chance. We can take it day by day and if you aren't happy you can end it, just let me take care of you." Zack pleaded as he grabed my hand and pulled me close. If I plan on moving on I guess he could be just what I need. And I know he wouldn't ever hurt me like Aj did. I have nothing to lose and possiably so much to gain.
"Yea alright I guess we can try. But can you just promise me that you won't hurt me? I don't think my heart can handle it." He just smiled and then kissed me.
"I promise not to hurt you, cross my heart, scouts honor!" He promised as he used his finger to draw an 'X' over his heart. Getting me to smile also. Devo then started to cry signaling that he was either hungry or he has to go to the bathroom.
"Well I guess I ought to take him outside so he can do his buisness." I spoke as I got up with Devo in my arm.
"Ok well let me go with you. Who knows what kind of people are outside lurking." He said as he took Devo from me and opened the door for me.
"Thank you!" I smiled as I gave him a kiss on the cheek. He even held my hand as we walked outside. I have to admit he looks so cute with Devo in his arms. After Devo did what he had to do we walked to the Divas locker room so I could get my stuff, then we went back to his room.
"Do you want to stay with me tonight or no?" He asked as he was getting ready for his match.
"No not tonight I gotta take baby boy here home, plus I didn't bring my luggage with me." I spoke honestly
"Oh ok next time then. Anyways did you want to walk with me to the gorilla?"
"Umm sure but I can't watch unfortuneitly because its way past his bed time." I said pointing at Devo who was sleeping on top of Zack's bag. To which he just chuckled as we left the room making sure to close the door.
"That's understandable. Anyways what are you doing tomorrow?"
"Probably head to the gym or something." I answered as we made it to the gorilla.
"Oh ok well maybe after we could get lunch or somthing?"
"Ok sure just text me later."
"Ok I'll call when I get back to the hotel later."
"Well then I will be waiting! And goodluck out there." I grinned as I kissed him good bye.
"Thank you!" He then pulled away and walked through the curtian. After that I went back to the locker room and got my stuff and left for home.
So Zack and Aksana are a thing now... This is going to be interesting I wonder how Aj is going to react to the news. But Aj's new attire is something else isn't it? Tune in next time for how to rob a bank using only an empty milk carton and an egg! -Joz
