Aksana's POV
After Aj left my room it left me with tons of questions running through my head. Like why did she get me this giant basket of candy when a simple card would have did just the same? Or why is she all of a suddenly being so nice to all the other divas? And I noticed when she left she practically ran out of here.. It only stood out because knowing Aj she probably would have tried to stay the night, or she would have at least tried to make some sort of move on me, but no nothing. Not even a subtle touch just caring hugs. I'm kind of worried she hasn't really been herself like she was a week ago. Really ever since Zack got suspended she has been like really nice to everybody, she was never that nice to everybody when we were together. So that brings me to my next question... Who the hell is Roni and what is she to Aj?
Could she be the reason for Aj's new found niceness? Was that who she was talking to the other night before our match? I know it couldn't have been one of her family members because she doesn't ever talk to any of them like how she was. That and because me and Aj have talked to her family a few times over the phone and I haven't heard her say anything like that. I dunno but I have my suspicions but then again Aj could have just about anyone she wants, so it could have been anybody. Its not like I care though because at the end of the day I was her first love so none of them could compare to me. None to mention in a way I have her wrapped around my finger. Not to be cocky but I bet if I were to call her and ask her to bring me some food she'd be here in seconds. Besides I could easily steal Aj from this said person at anytime, but if I take too long I might not be able to. So maybe I should do little things to keep her... interested. No wait what am I saying!? I shouldn't lead her on like that it isn't fair to her.. But she does kind of deserve it for doing what she did to me. No damn it what the fuck am I saying this isn't me I just want to move on in my life and let Aj move on too
Speaking of moving on I gotta put my phone on the charger it started to die like two hours ago, and I turned it off so it wouldn't die. So I plugged it up and while I waited for it to turn back on I decided to take off my dress and exchange it for one of Zack's shirts that I kept. I thought it was cute because it has a s'more on it, but the marshmallow was the Stay Puff Marshmallow man from Ghostbusters. Its kinda messed up but I find it funny. Plus Zack has tons of Ghostbusters related t-shirts so he won't miss this one. I also find it cute how he is so obsessed with the movie he is such a nerd. After I finished putting on my shirt I climbed into bed and looked at my phone. Its no surprise I have a few missed calls from both Zack and Alicia along with a couple messages. I responded to Zack's first because he is probably worried sick right now. I don't expect him to answer until tomorrow because he is most likely sleeping, then again he might just be up I don't know. I doubt it he is usually out but one, and its almost 2 am. now and I should probably get to bed.
The next morning
Sleeping alone feels so weird to me after about eight months of always having a cuddle buddy. But I think it was even more weird going from cuddling someone to someone cuddling me. None to mention I had to get use to not smelling Aj but Zack when I go to bed and wake up in the morning. Cuddling with Zack is okay I suppose, I'm just use to having Aj practically melt into me thats how close she snuggled into me all the time, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss it. I dunno it feels weird cuddling with him.. If that even makes sense. Its just that guys are usually all muscle meanwhile girls are somewhat muscle but yet they are soft at the same time. That's another struggle about being able to choose which side of the table you prefer to sit on because each side has its own plus and minuses. But that's okay I'm still kinda young so I still have some time to figure out which side is more comfortable.
Anyway its Wednesday and I have nothing to do. I could go to the gym but my back still hurts so looks like I'm staying in bed all day. Well that was until to my demise someone knocked on my door so I answered it.
"Where were you last night? And how come you never called me?" Asked Alicia as she just pushed past me and walked in. So I just closed the door and followed her climbing into bed next to her.
"Well I had a problem sort of last night and thats why I disappeared at the arena." I shrugged.
"Okay and how'd you end up in Aj's locker room? I swear if she-"
"No she didn't force me in there. I accidentally wondered into there I thought it was just an empty room. I didn't know until she walked in and turned on the light."
"Well why were you wondering around into random rooms anyways?" I honestly don't feel like answering questions right now its 10 am. and I'm tired as fuck
"You know how I get when I start thinking too deep about the past. I'm okay now though Aj took care of me." She gave me a look like I had three heads. "Not like that I couldn't do that to Zack. No she just held me, then you came, then we went to a diner, and she drove me straight here. Hell she even walked me to your room but I told her I didn't want to wake you, so we walked here. Don't worry all she did was place my bags down and then left."
"Did she try anything?"
"Surprisingly no actually."
"Well I'm not surprised she sounded really concerned and serious when I talked to her."
"Why what'd she say?" I asked now very curious as to what Aj said to Alicia. She just smirked and shook her head no.
"Nothing. Anyways hows Zack?" She's not telling me something. She changed the subject way to fast. That and because she wouldn't have brought it up if it was nothing important.
"You're not telling me something and I want to know right now." I said firmly.
"All she said was that she'd take you back to the hotel." I'm not buying that either so I just stared at her with piercing eyes. I used it on Aj all the time when I knew she was lying. "Stop that! Thats really all she said basically."
"Basically?"
"Well she begged me to let her take you to the hotel. And I dunno she just... Seems to care about you like a lot more than I thought she could ever care about anybody besides herself and that Divas Title." She spoke slowly not looking at me. Now I'm really confused.
"What is that supposed to mean?" She just shrugged her shoulders pulling her left knee to her chest. She then rested her head on her knee and looked at me.
"Whatever you think it means I guess." Then it went silent for a minute only for my phone to ring signaling a phone call, but I didn't move. Why is Alicia suddenly starting to tolerate Aj? Because a month ago she was telling me that I don't need Aj and that I should just focus on Zack, but now she is telling me a totally different story. As a matter of fact everybody has been acting different towards Aj backstage. They all once upon a time disliked Aj and now they are backing her up. There is something someone isn't telling me and I want to know what it is. "Aren't you going to get that?"
"Its probably just Zack. He'll call back he always does." I spoke emotionlessly not taking my eyes off her.
"You should answer it he is probably really worried about you." She's right I probably should. So I reach over to the bed side table and grabbed my phone, and it was Zack calling.
"Sorry babe my phone died last night and I was sleeping." I spoke knowing he would ask.
"I was really worried I thought something happened to you." He spoke with concern.
"I know I'm sorry, but I'm okay just really tired." I then ironically yawned proving my situation right now. "Anyways how was your day yesterday?" I asked. To be honest I kind of don't care my mind is set on something else right now.
"It was nice to see all my buddies and my parents. But I mostly caught up on sleep." He spoke
"Well that's great hon. What are you going to do today?"
"I dunno usually I would just take you out somewhere but I can't do that. I'll probably just go to the beach. Gotta keep up my tan so I can stay Zacked!" He said confidently. I couldn't help but to giggle at that a little bit. I don't have to see him to know he probably has a smug look on his face and flexing his muscles.
"Well its good to know you're still your cocky old self!" I joked.
"Well the LI does that to you. Trust me when you come to visit you'll see what I'm talking about. Anyways what are you up to?"
"Well after I hang up I'm probably going to go back to sleep." I spoke firmly looking at Alicia hoping she'd get the hit. But knowing her she probably still won't leave. "And my back still hurts so I'll probably eat ice cream and watch movies or something."
"Ooh now I'm definitely not leaving!" Smiled Alicia.
"Was that Alicia?" Asked Zack.
"Yep she woke me up about ten minutes ago. I guess nobody sleeps past ten am. anymore." I sighed. The both of them just laughed.
"Okay well I guess I'll let you go so you can enjoy your beauty sleep. And tell Alicia I said hi."
"Okay. I will be sure to call you when I wake up."
"Sweet dreams babe!"
"I will bye!" And with that I hung up and put my phone back on the table.
"Are you really going to go back to sleep?"
"Yea I had late night so I'm going back to sleep. Anyway the door is that way." I spoke simply pointing towards the door. She just laughed and got under the covers with me.
"I'm good, I'm a bit tired too. Night!" She smiled, kissed me on the cheek, and then laid down. I couldn't help but smile at that. Her room is legit two doors down but she choose to stay in my room anyways. I'm not complaining to be honest I'm to tired to give a fuck. So I just grabbed the blanket and fell asleep myself.
When we woke up it was a little past one so we went and got lunch together. It was then decided that we did a little shopping, it was very therapeutic as far as making me feel better and clearing my mind of all past events. Alicia and I practically spent the whole day together just like old times before Zack and before Aj. Just good old Foxsana bonding time.
Aj's POV (Same morning)
Waking up this morning was rather hard to do being last night all felt like a dream come true. Hell I think its safe to say yesterday was one of the very few good days since the incident. I really actually got to spend quality time with my future wife, she just doesn't know it yet. Well I like to think Aksana knows that we will be married one day its just she refuses to accept it. And last night is a perfect example of rebuilding the trust boat between us. I can't put into words how hard it was keeping my hands completely to myself with her wearing that dress. And keeping all my flirting tendencies inside my head not letting a single one slip off my tongue I think I deserve a fucking award for it. I swear I've been holding them in so long I could write a book with them. I dunno its just I want to hit her with every pick-up line in history and every compliment there are possible.
Or maybe its the fact that I'm coming to terms that Aksana currently is someone I can't have for my own right now. But I like to think of our situation as Aksana being a very rare expensive gem locked up in a heavily guarded museum, Zack is security, the other Divas are viewers who are blocking my view, which makes it harder for me to get to the prize. And that leaves me as the robber who desperately wants the rare gem, with the WWE universe as my team helping me fix this crime to restore balance in the world. And the plan has already been set in motion.. Broad daylight too, and I even alerted the world with my intentions.
First I had to outsmart security and rid them completely. Which unfortunately involved me having to get Zack suspended. I really honestly want to feel bad for doing that but I don't and I don't think I ever will. When you think about it he started it. He stole my girl and so I stole the thing he loves most. I think it was a very even trade, so he doesn't know that but I think he'd agree with me. If he doesn't.. I still wouldn't give a fuck. So now that security is gone that brings us to my amazingly good stealth skills, or in this case avoiding the laser security beams. Nobody can or will know that I was behind Zack being suspended. The only person who could possibly rat me out is Gordon, and that fat fuck, by now, probably isn't allowed anywhere near any WWE event as long as the Bellas are still a thing in the business. So he won't be an issue for me, besides I've never seen that man a day in my life he must have me confused.
Next is the very annoying viewers keeping me from getting what I want or the other Divas. They are probably the biggest obstacle in my way, to some degree they influence how she thinks of me. She is around them a lot more now since Zack is gone, and us girls tend to stick together when it comes to our friends. None to mention girls gossip and talk about anybody and everything. So I have to prove to each and every single Diva (except the Bellas. I know Aksana is friends with the Total Divas but she still doesn't associate with them so they are worthless to me just like always.) that I really truly am sorry I hurt her and that I deserve another chance to be her everything. And if I can manage to get them all on my side they could persuade her to give me a second chance. I don't need them all on my side just Alicia, Natalya, Naomi, and Cameron, with Alicia being the main one being she is my Aksana's bestfriend. I already have Layla on my side, Tamina however has always been a person who never chose sides just what is most logical. But I know secretly she is on my side. Once I do that it opens the pathway right up to the safe where the gem is, or in this case Aksana.
When I get there it is going to require time, carefulness, and patience because if I mess up it will all be over within seconds and all my hard work goes down the drain. I just have to have the right codes to gain access. Which is trust, loyalty, belief, and most importantly love. So I'm right on track with this part because I can prove each and every aspect of those to her. But I still gotta get the trust part up to where it was before. Then once all the codes are up to par, I can finally take my precious gem for my own. This time I will love and treat her right, thus completing one of the worlds greatest heist/redemptions in history. Earning me my girl back in this twisted story I'm going through right now.
With that being said its a week away from my birthday and I wonder if I could somehow steal a kiss from her. I mean its my day so I should get what I want, and Aksana is what I want. But I can't.. Not yet at least. I want our next time together to be so great that she won't even know what her name is. Like I am literally going to fuck her senseless, followed by very passionate love making. We have been away from each other far too long that I think she might have forgot who she belongs to, so I have to reclaim her both physically and verbally. My body aches for her touch so much that once I get started there is no way I'll be able to stop. Every time I see her its a struggle trying to contain myself. What keeps me from doing it is absence makes the heart grow stronger. To be honest I don't care anymore I want to feel her on me just like before...
Maybe just maybe I can somehow convince some of the Divas Aksana included to go clubbing with me. That way everybody will be somewhat buzzed and doing their own thing leaving it to be me and her. Then maybe I can recreate the one night stand that started this all! Fuck thats brilliant. Except we'll cut out the part where I kicked her out because this time I plan to cuddle with her until she realizes we are meant to be. If I do that , however, in the end nobody would know about it and she'll probably ignore me forever. But then it would level our playing field because theoretically she would have cheated on Zack making her no more of a better person then me. See I don't want that to happen because that'd put us in a love triangle and there is always a loser in the end, or it can make her realize that I am her soulmate. No I can't do that its not who I am anymore. No more scheming against someone.
Damn she better fucking appreciate all this work I'm putting in to getting her back. Because let's be honest that is one hell of a plan. I can juice that plan right down into pulp with the ending I want. I don't care if she cheats on Zack with me because that means I won and I can stake my claim to her once again. I'm confident because if I'm half drunk still aware of whats going on I'm going to rock her world better than I ever have, leaving her world wanting more.
And if I do that it will make being with Zack basically stale and boring to her. All I need is one night to change everything, one chance to make everything go good again. If and when I do its going to be the best night of her life I'll make sure of it, I gotta go all out.. Wait I can't plan something that might not even happen. Jeez look at me it was only half a night I spent with her and she has me planning for our future. See this is what she does to me I haven't the slightest clue what any of these ideas mean, and to be honest they kinda scare me. Maybe I should go to the gym and clear my head. Yea lets do that. So I climbed out of bed and put on my workout clothes. After grabbing my earbuds and my phone I left for the gym key card in hand.
Hotel gyms usually are small so I don't plan on doing much in there. A nice run well do me some good I suppose. But the one in the gym was out of order so I figured I'd just go for a jog out in the city. So I did but I went back to my room and grabbed a few dollars incase I see something my Aksana might like. It was kinda chilly out being its mid March so I zipped up my jacket put in my earbuds and began to run. I'm not entirely sure where I'm going but I'm just going to go until I don't feel like it anymore. I know I probably shouldn't just run not knowing where I'm going but life is the same exact concept. Except mine is all sorts of fucked up. I gotta admit Richmond is a pretty city. Its totally different than New York City and not a crazy fast place, its fast but not New York fast. I eventually came across a little park where other people were jogging so I jogged the trail too. I'm not sure how long I've been running but I'm tired and I wanna go back to the hotel. After five minutes of sitting on a bench and changing my playlist I figured I'd walk back.
While I was walking I came across a Smoothie King. I've never been to one so fuck it why not. I could go for a smoothie right about now. It wasn't too crowded just a few other people, so that meant there was no line.
"Welcome to Smoothie King what can I get for you?" Asked the lady behind the counter.
"Umm well what do you recommend? This is my first time in a Smoothie King, just looking to cool down a bit." I smiled.
"Well judging by your current attire you must have just finished a jog or a workout. And normally when I finish a workout I like to relax so I get something off the Take a Break Blends, or the Fitness Blends menu." She spoke simply pointing to the different menu boards. So I carefully scanned them for a minute.
"Hmm.. Umm I'll have a Pineapple Surf." I shrugged. It has pineapples in it and I want to taste sweet for my Aksana. I gotta remember to add more pineapple juice to my diet that way once she gets a taste of me she is going to want more. None to mention everybody knows that pineapples make your cum taste sweeter its basic common knowledge. Anyways if I make it obvious to Aksana that I'm drinking it, it'll make her possibly want me because she knows I'll taste even better than she remembers.
"Ooh good choice thats my personal favorite. Anyways what size?" She smiled. She is awful happy to be at work.
"Medium please." I smiled back. She then turned and began making my drink. It was then that the door opened and in walks an African American male. But to my demise it was a face that I know and I've spent a long time trying to forget. Hell he was my first true heartbreak and I haven't seen him in years and that is why I hope my eyes are deceiving me. But that hope was shattered when he looked up and we locked eyes.
"Aj?" He spoke in a questioning manner.
"Jay?" I questioned back. And he smiled as he walked closer to me. Fuck he is probably the worst person to cross my path this year. Especially with me being in the situation I am in now.
"No way its been so long how are you?" He asked giving me a hug. I literally am frozen the last time we talked he was breaking up with me, and it broke my heart. If I were to tell you I feel absolutely nothing towards him that'd be half the truth. You never get over your first love, but I don't want him back. There's only one person I want and it isn't him.
"Yea a lot has changed but I'm doing well. And how about yourself?"
"Doing good not much has happened. Anyways what are you doing here? Not here here but this city here."
"Umm we had a taping here last night. What about you?" This lady needs to hurry up with my drink I just want to go as far away from him as possible
"I'm part of Ring of Honor now and we have a show here this weekend." He spoke staring at me. Damn he use to give me that look whenever he had something to tell me. I don't even want to know what he's thinking.
"One medium Pineapple Surf!" Spoke the lady as she placed my drink on the counter. I then quickly turned my attention to her. "That'll be $3.67!" I then reached into my sports bra to get my money.
"Hey no let me get that for you. Its the least I could do being how we left off three years ago." Interjected Jay as he handed the lady a twenty before I could pay her.
"No its fine I can pay for it myself." I smiled politely.
"Too late!" He sang. Ugh I hated when he did that. I'm an independent women I can pay for my own stuff. I just sighed and grabbed my drink, but hey I can't be too mad its a free drink.
"Well thanks I guess.." I trailed off looking at him. "I guess I ought to get going now." I spoke looking anywhere but him. This is really awkward for me.
"Well do you have a minute? You know just to catch up." He said hopefully. I don't want to stay in here a minute longer than I have to. Part of me says go the other says stay. I looked down at my watch and it is only a little past one, and I have nothing else to do today so why not. I'll only stay for a bit and hopefully someone will call or text me and I can use it as an excuse to go.
"Uh sure." I spoke unsurely. We both then sat down at one of the tables nearby. I took that opportunity to begin to drink my smoothie.
"How is it?"
"Pretty good actually." I responded.
"Well that's good." He chuckled a little bit. He then looked away from me and spoke again. "You know three years is a long time, and it gave me a lot of time to think too.." He spoke trailing off. He then looked back up to me. "I've been thinking and I guess I want to apologize for being such an ass to you. You didn't deserve that. Especially since you were being moved up to the main roster and all."
"Yea and three years is enough for wounds to heal and I find no point of holding a grudge, so I accept your apology. Besides I have a bigger fish to fry anyways." I shrugged. Its true I don't really care much about what happened three years ago, the people I hate most are myself, and the man who made me realize it to the whole world. Damn this smoothie is good.
"Thank you. It was really hanging on in the back of my mind for the longest." He lightly smiled. Then we fell into an awkward silence. "You know my mom still asks about you."
"Hmm what does she say?" His mom was the nicest lady really sweet.
"Well its mostly just her scolding me for letting you slip away." He chuckled as he played with a sugar packet. "Jamar you need to settle down and find a good girl. You need to go apologize to April and see if she'll take your dumb ass back she was a sweet girl!" He mimicked in an old lady voice. I couldn't stop the smile from forming at my lips. What do you know after three long years he realizes what he's missing.
"Really she said that?"
"Yea all the time, and I think I agree with her." He spoke slowly.
"Oh... I don't.. Now isn't really a good time for that.. Or ever really." I murmured. He cocked his head to the side.
"No April just hear me out. I know you are probably still really upset with me but just give me another chance to prove myself worthy." He spoke with pleading eyes. Too bad someone else has my heart now.
"Tell me when's the last time you watch a WWE broadcast?" I asked.
"Ummm a week ago, but what does that have to do what anything?"
"What show?"
"Raw. And I gotta say you wear that belt well I'm proud of you." I smiled at the last part, he did help train me.
"Great so then you saw my tag match against my ex. That was a horrible day that day, I found out she moved on to some noob I don't like. Damn I was so pissed, it put a giant whole in my plan. But everything is looking fine and dandy now that I got rid of him." I smiled thinking about my Aksana, he looks very confused. "Yea I'd do anything for that woman, love does crazy things to you. You can only imagine the thoughts that run through my mind on the daily, and how few of them don't involve holding her in my arms again. Its even crazier how many times you cross my mind, which hasn't happened in three months.. Then again it was only for ten seconds because I was comparing your heartbreak to an even bigger one that I'm going through right now." I spoke simply. I've thrown out more than enough hints. I don't think he is getting it.
"Okay I'm lost."
"Umm I'm trying to put this the best way I can. We could never be a thing again because well I already gave my heart to anther. Of coarse there's always a chance she might give it back, but it is and always will belong to her. Basically I'm in a very.. very complicated relationship right now." I explained in the best way I could. There was this look in his eye of almost disappointment.
"With who?" Oh no if I tell the truth he will probably flip out. I use to complain about her all the time to him. But I don't care I'm in love with Aksana and proud.
"Umm... You remember Aksana right?" After a moment he spoke up.
"Wait the foreign blonde that you always complained about?" I nodded my head yes.
"Yep, but she's a brunette now." I spoke simply. I guess he isn't getting it because he looks like he's expecting more. "Well one drunken one night stand was all it took for me to realize I loved her."
"How? Why?"
"Well I'd always had feelings for her, but I never knew that I had them until I succumbed to her charm. And I fell hard for her, and she fell for me and the rest is history. But I fucked up and hurt her so we are taking a break right now." I explained.
"Okay well in the mean time let me take you to dinner tonight. No strings attached just two friends."
"I don't think you're getting it. I am in love with another women." I spoke slowly. "Me and you will never happen again. You had your chance and you blew it." To my luck my phone began ringing and it was Roni so I picked up. "Hey babe I was beginning to think you forgot about me!" I smiled. I then put my hand over the speaker. "I gotta take this. It was nice seeing you again. Thank you for the drink." And with that I got up kissed him on the cheek and left. From there I talked to Roni until I got to the hotel where I told her I'd call her back once I finished showering.
I have to admit seeing Jay today made me realize something.. That it might seem like a good idea at the moment to let me go, but in the end they will come crawling back. And now I just have to wait for my Aksana to realize it too. She might need some help realizing it but I already have a plan for that. I only need time.
What did Alicia mean by she could tell Aj cared about Aksana? Who's side is Alicia on? Like dafuq!? Aj up to her usual weird random thoughts. But who would have thought an unplaned run in the city would lead to Aj running into Jay? By that I mean Jay Lethal. Surprise Aj once upon a time dated a black guy. I think its pretty funny because I bet when he found out she married Punk he was like.. 'Haha I still hit it first!' Or atleast I would've. I dunno maybe thats just my childish mind at work. Anyways next chapter we are most likly going to jump to the Raw before Aj's B-day and to her actual B-day. Then again I don't always follow my own plans. I guess you gotta wait and see.
Until next time peanut butter is not butter. It has absolutly no buisness in the fridge. So excited 9 days till my b-day! Its Oct. 29 in case you're wondering. ~Joz
