Layla's POV
I have to say this is by far one of the worst plans Aj has cooked up in terms of trying to get Aksana back. I mean yes I understand she desperately want her back but this isn't a good way to do it. Like I want Aj and Aksana back together too because even though they can't for some reason tell for themselves, they are both so depressed it's ridiculous. All Aj ever does these days is sit up in her dark hotel room probably plotting some crazy plan, like the one she is trying to do tonight, to get Aksana to come back to her. She use to never be able to sit inside a hotel room for more then two hours when she wasn't tired. None to mention I can't have a regular conversation with her without Aksana somehow coming up. Also she has for some reason decided to become more brutal in her matches. I understand she just wants hers and Aksana's rivalry to be the best of the best, but she didn't need to put Aksana through the vending machine. Plus I've noticed a change in her herself.. and for some reason she is being a lot more friendlier to all the other Divas. Aj has never really liked the other Divas ever since they changed her character into the boy crazy lover chick, and they gave her the championship.
Then there's Aksana whose is probably the most obvious one of the two. We all know she is heartbroken and confused, but yet for some reason she just won't show it. I know she is "with Zack" now but is she really? I only say that because I know there is no way you can go from being madly in love with a women then two months later move on to a guy. She is lying to herself about something I don't know what but I think she is just trying to cover up the break up like it never happened. I mean think about it Aj and Aksana were practically attached at the hip when it came to them to being together. Then Aj cheats on her with her cousin who was her best friend to some degree. So all in one day she lost her lover, her cousin, and her two best friends and you're going to tell me you're perfectly fine two months later? No something inside her head is either guilty about something, or she's lying to herself about something. But hey what do I know I'm just a bystander looking in from the outside.
It's just a theory I figured watching the way Aj and Aksana are dancing together right now. Then again they both are pretty trashed, but everybody knows drunk minds are the most honest minds. So that makes it painfully obvious that they still love each other, it's just their sober minds won't let it happen. But to be honest I just want to go to bed I'm tired, Summer is up there dancing with the Dj, so I'm just sitting at the bar watching the two love birds dance together on the dancefloor. It is 3:25am and we have been here since 11pm. I'm ready to go so that means they are too. I figured I'd go tell Summer first so I walked over to her.
"Hey I'm ready to go are you coming?" I spoke in her ear.
"Ummm yea give me a minute. I want to say bye to my new friend Cliff!" She smiled as she gave the Dj whose name is Cliff a hug. She then gave him a kiss on the cheek and then turned back to me.
"Are you good now?" She smiled and nodded her head. She is drunk too but not as bad as Aj and Aksana might be. "Kay let's go get the two love birds over there." I spoke grabbing her hand and began to head over to the dancing pair.
"You know they are made for each other we should let them dance." Mumbled Summer in my ear.
"Yea but we're their ride home." She gave me the "oh" face and kept walking. When we got over to them Aksana had Aj by the hips and Aj was twerking on her like a pro. And that's how I know they are both almost blackout drunk or atleast Aj is. I've been to my fair share of clubs with Aj and I've never seen her dance like that I didn't even know she could dance like that, so it's time for bed for the both of them. "Alright you it's time to go." I spoke grabbing Aj and pulling her from Aksana.
"Nooooo! I gotta dance with that lady she's pretty! She looks like.. my Aksana and I want her." She slurred. Yea she has had way to much alcohol she doesn't even recognize Aksana.
"Okay well she can come with us." I might as well play along if it gets us out of here faster. Aj seemed to really like that idea because her eyes went wide with surprise.
"Yaaaaay! I can keep her." She then turned to Aksana grabbed her by the face and made our with her. I'd stop her but I don't feel like dealing with a crying drunk. "You're coming home with me! Best birthday ever!" She smiled grabbing Aksana's hand and then turning back to me. "Let's go accent lady." I hate drunk people. Summer is just standing there smiling at me.
"Alright let's go then." I then began to head to the door with the three of them in tow. I then carefully made sure we all made it to the car safely. Once there I put Summer in the front seat with Aj and Aksana in the backseat being Aj had a death grip on Aksana's hand. Once I made sure everybody was buckled in I drove off towards the hotel, thank goodness we all are staying in the same hotel. As we were pulling into the parking lot I noticed somehow Aj managed to take off her seatbelt and climb onto Aksana's lap and they are in a very heated make out session. I'm not even sure when or how she did but it happened. Jeeze these are two sex crazed drunks, tomorrow morning is going to be very awkward for them and me being I'll be the only one who remembers what happened, Summer a little bit maybe. Once I parked the car I had to practically pry Aj away from Aksana long enough so we could get to the elevators. Summer was sober enough to walk herself to her room so I got off on the fifth floor with the two love birds, whilst she rode it up to the eighth floor... I hope. "Aj?" I asked as we stood in front of her room door. But I don't even think she heard me because Aksana is too busy nibbling on her neck. I'm too tired and annoyed to try and stop them. It might be an asshole move but they will learn not to drink so damn much anymore, because they are going to wake up next to each other and haven't the slightest clue about what happened here. So I just unhooked Aj's clutch from her wrist and looked for the room key, which it was in there. I then unlocked the door and they just naturally walked inside. When they walked in they seperated long enough for Aj to walk in first then Aksana, so I pushed Aksana into the bathroom and closed the door behind her, it's gunna take her a while to figure out how to get out. Meanwhile Aj completely passed out face first on the bed, so I grabbed her and flipped her to her back. I then took off her Chucks and set them to the side, I then unzipped her dress and slid it off her. That was an expensive dress and I don't want her mess it up in her sleep. I'd put a shirt on her but that wouldn't be fun for her come morning so I just pushed her to the top of the bed and tucked her in.
"Hey! Why'd you lock me in there? I was scared it was dark." I heard in a really think accent. I only turned to see Aksana in awkwardly her bra and panties with a towel on her head. I want to question it but she's not in her right mind right now, so I just walked over to her.
"I'm sorry I thought it was Narnia." I spoke in an apologetic tone.
"I don't want to go there! Zack is going to get sad!" She panicked.
"Why's that?"
"He loves me, but I love him no." Awe poor Zack he really did get the fuzzy end of the lollypop, just he doesn't know it. Then again she never really was his to begin with. I then pulled the towel off her head and pushed her into the bed and tucked her in.
"Oh okay well you lay down and I'll tell him that you're right here not in Narnia." Hey I might as well have fun with them right.
"You're a good friend Annie. I love you!" She smiled pulling me down for a hug. Ugh she smells like straight alcohol.
"Annie loves you too, but you have to let me go so I can go." I spoke softly.
"Bye! I'll just cuddle with my teddy bear here..." She murmured as she grabbed onto Aj. "I love her." Like I said a drunk mind is a honest mind. Anyway I took that as my okay to leave so I left. I wonder who is going to call me first tomorrow morning?
XXXXXXXXXX
Next morning Aj's POV
Ugh my head hurts so much right now, I should probably stop drinking. I do this all the time and I'm still not use to being hungover. I'm so hungry, but first I feel last night coming back up. So I quickly got out the bed and ran to the bathroom. As I was throwing up my insides I noticed I'm not in my dress anymore, but I'm in my hotel room so that's good. I can't remember anything after the Dj sang happy birthday to me and I did body shots off some guy. I can just call the others and ask them I suspose.
Judging by the fact my lipstick is smeared, it feels like somebody either fingered me or they turned me on to level ten because my panties are soaked. I say that because my neck is covered in hickies, and my neck is my weak spot. So I assume I had a pretty good birthday last night. I hope I didn't do anything stupid that would get me in trouble. I dunno but I'm hungry and I can't think straight right now I'll just order room service. So I walked back into the main room and that is when I noticed I wasn't here alone. Apparently I didn't go to bed alone. Shit! Damn it Drunk Aj! Great now I have to get rid of.. I assume this random chick because she had long black hair, and there are a pair of heels sitting on dresser in front of the TV that aren't mine.
Okay seriously no more drinking I tend to do bad things that get me in trouble, or I do something that helps me. There is no in between. So I walk over to the bed grabbed the blanket and slowly peeled it back, she is laying on her stomach. So I poked her, I need her gone I don't want my Aksana to see her leave my room. Although she does have a fantastic body shape just like my Aksana does, just how I like'em. I swear when I'm drunk my ability to find the exact type of girl I like is crazy accurate. Doesn't matter though she isn't my Aksana so I don't want her.
"Hey! Hey get up you gotta go." I spoke shaking her.
"Mmm go away we don't have work today." She mumbled but I could barely understand what the hell she said.
"Yea well you gotta get out of my room. I can't afford to have my Aksana see you leave here. I don't care where you go but you can't-" She then turned and looked me in the eyes, and her eyes grew wide in surprise just like mine did. She then snapped up and hurriedly covered herself up with the blanket. I don't know why because I've seen her naked hundreds of times.
"What did we do?" She murmured staring at me. I just giggled. I love her but she asks the dumbest of questions sometimes.
"I was going to ask you the same question. I don't even know what time it is right now let alone what happened here." I said pointing to the bed. She just sighed and ran a hand through her hair. It was then that I noticed all the hickies on her neck and chest. "Whatever happened must have been intense because you are covered in hickies." I secretly hope those are all mine. She furred her eyebrows at me before she got up and walked into the bathroom blanket still covering her. Ha what I'd give to rip that blanket away and have my way with her.
"Fuck! Oh damn I am in trouble now." She mumbled to herself.
"If you want I can give you bigger ones to hide the little ones." I suggested. She just gave me a look. "What judging by our lack of clothing, the party that is in my undies, my smudged lipstick that by the looks of it somehow smudged onto your face there." I said pointing to the area around her mouth that looked like smudged lipstick. Meaning at some point last night we were in a very heated make out session. "I think it's safe to assume that is probably the masterpiece of Drunk Aj. And you made quite the art work of my neck too. So I guess we both are in trouble. But hey what do I know right? Then again I don't really think we'll get in trouble... I think of it more as a sign." I shrugged.
"You're ridiculous. I think it's you just trying to be a smart ass. It's a sign telling me to stay away from you." She spoke bluntly as she wiped off all the evidence of last night off her face. Damn if I would have known I was gunna wake up with her next to me I would have taken a picture for memories.
"Yea but you still love me, you just don't know it. Besides I'm not being an ass I'm just stating facts." I spoke cooly. Now she is I guess trying to get rid of my love bites with a wet towel. "There's no use it won't go away. By the looks of it I got you good so it's going to be atleast a week or so for some to disappear others a day or two. I don't know why you want to get rid of them anyway, those are hard to do very breathtaking I guess I could say. I mean you should be proud show them off, let the whole world know who those bites belong to! It's not everyday you can wake up and say that The Aj Lee gave you a hickey... Unless you want to do it everyday forever."
"Yea but how am I going to explain this to Zack!?" She then froze knowing she made a mistake. But frankly I don't care how she is going to explain to him, he's just a pawn in our love life. She doesn't know I know about him, so I cocked my head to the side and gave her a questioning look.
"Why would he care?" I asked in a mellow tone.
"Look I gotta go." She then began to put her dress on.
"Why would Zack care?" I asked again except louder.
"Don't you have to talk to your little girlfriend or something?" She said in an annoyed voice.
"Roni isn't my girlfriend. You're my girlfriend and I want to know why would he care?" I demanded as I walked over to her. But she is still gathering her items.
"Nothing don't worry about it. See you Monday. And between me and you this never happened." And with that she left. Damn it. I had her exactly where I wanted her now she's gone. But did anything happen last night besides the neck biting? I wish she would have stayed for a bit, but I guess her being with me for my birthday was good enough. But I really want to know what happened between us last night that lead to all these hickies.. I guess I can entertain myself with that thought for a bit before I call Lay.
I figured I would check my phone to see if I had any missed calls from the others checking to see if we're still alive. It was mostly just unread birthday wishes and voicemails nothing special. It was then that oddly enough Roni called me. That's some scary good timing. I hesitated on answering because I'm still a bit drunk and I might slip up on my words.
"Hey." I murmured
"Well I'm glad to know you're up." She spoke softly. Thank goodness I have a massive head ache.
"Yea but I have a huge head ache and I'm hungry." I said honestly.
"Well I'm not surprised there it was your birthday I wouldn't expect any less. Besides I can tell you had a great time because it's all over Twitter." Whoa shit I forgot about all that at the restaurant, and then they probably have pictures or even videos of what happened at the club last night. If they have pictures of me and Aksana somewhere on there I'm fucked, Roni is probably going to be upset with me. I just hope and pray that I didn't do anything unprofessional, because my head will be on a stick if Steph finds out. I'm susposed to be a role model. So I let out a sigh.
"What ahh.. What'd you see?" I spoke slowly not wanting to know what ended up online.
"Well I saw you all had a nice little dinner at some fancy restaurant."
"Yea I ate for free since it was my birthday. But you know it would've been better if you were with me." Hey I don't like how she said that it sounds like there was something that upset her and I'm in trouble for it. So I guess you can say I'm sucking up to her.
"Well by the way you were dancing in the club it looked like you were having a blast without me. But I didn't even know you could shake your butt like that, none the less in a dress." She spoke in almost a jealous upset tone. I guess she really does like me if she is calling me about last night. I can't get mad at her for being upset with me because to some degree I'd be upset with her if the roles were switched. I just let out a sigh as she kept going. "But you know I find it funny that you told me you don't like your ex anymore but yet you danced on her and you made out with her!" Shit! "Seriously Aj I need to know what I am to you because the last time something like this happened I was left heartbroken. Because right now all those photos of you two are trending under the hashtag back together." Fuck! I am way too damn tired to do this right now, but I can't lose her I need her still. If only that hashtag were true.
"Well I guess the photos don't lie, but for the most part of the club I was wasted. I honestly can't remember a single thing after the Dj sang happy birthday to me. The only thing I remember doing is more shots the rest is just a blur. So really all of that ment nothing to me, I wasn't even in my right mind when those photos or videos were taken. But if it upset you I'm sorry I never ment for you to question my loyalty to you. I just wanted to have a good time." I said sincerely. It's good to know I still got it, but it is all true though.
"That wasn't cool Aj. I really like you and I don't want to waste my time if you're just going to jump back and forth between me and her."
"I know I'm sorry. It's just hard seeing her almost everyday I guess. Maybe all that was just Drunk Aj trying to fill the void where you should be." I smiled trying to change the subject. "I miss your face."
"Yea I guess it has been a while huh?"
"Yea but that's my life. I'm on the road about three hundred days of the year. It'll take some getting use to but you'll adjust and it makes it that much sweeter when I get to go home."
"Yea I don't know how you do it, I would get so home sick."
"Well it's the love of the sport, and the fans that keep you going. Besides sometimes when we have huge pay-per-views I will fly my parents or somebody out to come vist me on the road for a bit. So it's not all that bad."
"Yea I guess it's not all that bad.. When's the next big pay-per-view?"
"In like a week. Why did you want to come see me live in action?" I said cockily.
"I dunno maybe a little bit."
"Ha yea I'd like that too, but Wrestlemania is the biggest event on our calendar and I will be so busy. And I don't want to fly you out only to see you at night, then I'll probably be extremely tired then too. So it wouldn't be fair to you." I said honestly
"Yea you're right maybe another time." She spoke with a hit of disappointment.
"One of these days I promise. I would love for you to be front row and watch me kick ass." I said confidently only getting her to giggle. "Does that mean I'm not in trouble anymore?"
"Alright I guess, but you're on probation now."
"Okay I'll take that." I actually don't know if I should let her come to one of the shows. I mean it would be a bit risky, yet it could possiably make Aksana want me. Let's be honest girls always want something they use to have but can't have anymore. I dunno maybe we'll see.
Aksana's POV
Fuck I am going to have a lot of explaining to do. This was just not a good start to today at all, I can't remember how the hell I ended up half naked in bed with Aj. I just hope nothing happened because it's bad enough I have these hickies I have to explain and cover up. I don't think I could have left her room any faster then I did. But it was a close one Lord only knows if she would have found out about Zack. She would've never let me leave that room I don't even want to know what she'd do. But right now I need to get to my room, I just hope Alicia isn't there.
Unfortunately to my demise Alicia was in there, but she is still sleeping. So I put my heels on the floor and quietly began creeping over to my bed. All I gotta do is be in my bed when she wakes up.
"Freeze don't move." I heard her grumble before she sat up. Fuck she is a light sleeper.. Was she even sleeping? "Where have you been?"
"Well after you left we continued to take shots, and then-"
"Forget that question I think the real question is who did you spend the night with?" She questioned as she got out of bed and approached me. "Hot damn you are covered in hickies! What the hell happened last night after I left?"
"I honestly don't know I blacked out. Then the next thing I know I wake up in bed with Aj shaking me telling me to get up. I guess she didn't know it was me because she was just as lost as I was." She's just starring at me like I'm crazy.
"Well now I know what happened after you left the club. It's all over the internet you and Aj making out at the club. I didn't think it was true but now I know... Damn you better take a shower and wait for Zack to call because you are going to be in some serious trouble. You better start thinking up an apology." She said effortlessly as she went and picked up her phone, she then handed it to me. And there it was pictures of me and Aj making out and dancing on each other.
"I'm fucked! He is going to be soo upset." As I scrolled through the photos I came across a video of Aj dancing on me and it was very out of character for the both of us. If Steph sees this we are going to be on death row. "Ugh! I'm going to go take a shower." And with that I gave her her phone and walked into the bathroom. I then turned on the shower and began to undress. It was then that I realized how bad I fucked up last night, I promised him I wouldn't do anything like that and I failed him. I feel so bad, but I don't want to lose him he means a lot to me. I made sure to scrub any evidence of last night off my body with damn near scolding hot water.
I'm not sure how long I was in there, but it was long enough to make me not want to get out. When I got out the shower Alicia was gone but she made sure my phone was dead center of my bed. I had about seven missed calls all from Zack. I don't even want to call him back, I fear the worst. I can't lose him because if I lose him then I don't know what I'd do. But I gotta own up to my actions, so I got dressed then climbed on the bed and picked up the phone and I just stared at it. A minute or two later it began to buzz and a photo of me and Zack popped up on my screen. Here goes nothing..
"I know I can explain. It's not what you think." I said getting to the point.
"I just want to hear it from you. What the hell happened last night?" He said and I can sense the sadness in his voice a little bit. I then explained to him everything I remember about last night. Minus the fact I woke up in Aj's bed and appearently she gave me atleast ten different hickies, and a set of teeth marks on my shoulder. "Nothing happened afterwards I promise you. I couldn't do something like that to you." And then there was an awkward silence, it's only making me feel even worse because I don't know what he is going to say. "I'm sorry."
"I'm not mad at you, I'm just a little upset about it. I know you wouldn't have done the things you did if you were sober. I'm okay with you going out but try and go easy on the drinks from now on." Well he is a lot calmer then I thought he would be. I kind of wonder what he has been up too.
"Okay I can do that. But it didn't change anything I still like you Zackie.. You still like me right?"I cooed in a pouty voice.
"...Yea how can I not you're so pretty. I can't be mad at you, I tried but I can't stay mad for long."
"We'll I can't help it I'm just naturally adorable. Besides you're mine wether you like it or not." I giggled. In reality I know I have him in the palm of my hand, it's always been that way for me when it comes to relationships. I'm not complaining I'm just really good at getting what I want.
"Well yea you practically carved your name into my back. So I don't really have an option. Doesn't matter I love being your man." He said in a very confident tone.
"So then you are one lucky man huh?" I smirked.
"The luckiest on the planet!" I couldn't help but giggle he is so goofy sometimes. And that's another thing I like about him he makes me laugh. He's always himself even though he is such a nerd, but I think that is the most attractive quality of him. But the most important thing of all is I know he won't do to me what Aj did to me. That doesn't mean I trust him a hundred percent about being loyal to be because I don't, and Aj is to blame. I want to trust him completely but I can't bring myself to do so. I guess it's just an insecurity that recently appeared because obviously I was doing something wrong that made Aj cheat on me with Victoria. She promised me we'd be together forever but I guess her forever was only for a few months rather than a lifetime. And it honestly sucks because now I can't tell if what she says to me is the truth or a lie. I love Aj I do, but it's just not the same anymore. Those three words are like lemon juice to my milk and I shutter whenever I hear them come from her lips. So for all I know this morning could have been a lie and I would never really know for sure. So I guess you can say I have trust issues, but Zack probably already knows I do and that's probably why he calls me so often to tell me what he's doing.
"Yeah and don't forget it!" We didn't talk much longer after that because for some reason my mind keeps going back to this morning. I dunno this morning brought back so many memories from when me and Aj had the drunken one night stand. Then what are the odds that her room just so happened to be room number 525? I feel like she did that on purpose, and it is so subtle to all the other girls but between her and I it's a huge thing. She doesn't have to say it I know what Aj wants from me, and I'm not looking to share any with her. Now she knows how it feels to lose something that meant so much to her.
In all seriousness I think Aj might have been up to something last night because I just remembered what she was wearing this morning. When I was in the bathroom washing off all the lipstick from my face I noticed in her reflection she had on the key to her heart necklace. I could recognize if I were blind just by feeling it. While we were a thing, I must have read the engraving on it a million times so I know it when I see it. But why that necklace of all the necklaces she has she chose to wear that one on her birthday... Why? Then she just so happened to be staying in room 525 why specifically that one? Everybody else on the roster is either on the eight or ninth floor... Things like that do t just accidentally happen.. Or maybe that's just the alcohol still talking and it's giving me weird thoughts. I dunno maybe I aught to just go back to sleep and wait for the phone call from HQ that tells me I'm in trouble for my actions.
Well did anybody else get a weird sense of deja vu from reading how Aj and Aksana woke up? Because I know I did somewhat. So you can only imagine how awkward it's going to be for the two come Monday when they have to go back to hating each other. Sorry if the last few paragraphs are a little confusing because to be honest with you my muse was all over the place with this chapter. I knew what I wanted to write I just didn't know how. I'm not completely satisfied with how this came out, but I feel if I redid it it would be worse. Anywhore Im gunna go watch A Streetcar Named Desire. It's a new favorite movie of mine. It's in black and white, but its worth the watch.
