You're My Savior: Chapter 12
AJ sighed as she got up the next morning. Daniel was already gone by then and rolled her eyes before getting up and fixing their bed before going to wake Joshua. AJ entered Joshua's room quietly and looked at the little boy sleeping. She sighed deeply as she saw Punk's face in the little boy face.
"How karma really bites me in the ass." AJ said quietly to herself before entering into Joshua's room fully and shaking him a little.
"Joshua, wake up, sweetie. We need to get ready before people come over tonight." AJ said as Joshua was slowly waking up.
Daniel wanted to have a dinner party so AJ needed to clean the house and make food before everyone got here. Daniel was going to hand out invitations at work and he knew everyone would be here.
"Sweetie, go take a bath while I clean downstairs okay?" AJ said to Joshua and Joshua nodded.
"Okay, momma." Joshua replied and AJ grinned and then went downstairs to clean quickly so she can get ready later on.
Punk sighed as he got ready for his match. He couldn't keep AJ and Joshua out of his mind. He wanted to know why Joshua looked so much like him instead of Daniel. He thought it was Daniel's kid. Someone knocked on his door and it cracked open and Daniel entered through the door and Punk looked at him through the mirror.
"What do you want, Bryan?" Punk said and Daniel chuckled as he entered.
"Calm down man, I'm inviting you to a party AJ and I are throwing tonight since we are off tomorrow." Daniel said and Punk knew he could talk to AJ there, but of course, alone.
"Okay, what time?" Punk asked as he turned to face Daniel.
"7 p.m. try not to be late." Daniel said before walking out. Punk quickly went over to his duffle bag, sending a text before going out of his locker room for his match.
AJ bent down as she fixed Joshua's tie. AJ put Joshua in a white shirt and a gray vest with a red bowtie with matching gray dress pants with black dress shoes.
"You are so adorable." AJ said as she stood straight and Joshua groaned.
"Momma, I'm not a little boy." He said and AJ chuckled.
"Okay, Joshua, I'm sorry." AJ said with a small chuckle as Joshua walked out of the room and went downstairs to see his dad fixing his tie.
AJ went out and looked at herself in the full length mirror and straighten out her little black strapless dress in which she wore black flats with it. She told Daniel that she wasn't going to wear high heels since she hated those types of shoes. She told him it would be either converse or flats, of course, he got angry and fought with her a bit, but he knew she wasn't going to wear heels.
She sighed as she look at her bicep, making sure the bruise Daniel made wasn't noticeable before going downstairs. She sighed deeply and closed her eyes before opening them again and going downstairs. She made her way downstairs and saw everyone talking with everyone else and saw Daniel getting a bit too comfortable with Brie Bella. She decided to just brush it off before going into the kitchen to check on the cooking food.
Punk rang the doorbell and saw Daniel with a beer in his hand and rolled his eyes.
"Punk man! Enter! Enter!" Daniel said as he opened the door wider. Daniel smiled at Amy who was right behind him, holding Punk's hand. Amy and Punk have been getting more serious as time when on, but once Punk saw AJ and Joshua that seemed to changed quickly. Punk knew he had come to this "dinner" party for a mission and he was going to accomplish that mission.
AJ was getting out the food that was in the oven then Joshua came into the kitchen with a small cut on his finger.
"Momma, my finger." Joshua said as he held his finger up to his mother.
"Aww, baby, what happened?" AJ said as she got out a band aid and put it on Joshua's finger.
"I was showing my book to Alanna, and some of the other kids and I got a paper cut." Joshua said and AJ sighed.
"Oh okay, but sweetie, please be careful. I don't want you to get another one." AJ said and Joshua nodded with a smile before heading back to the other kids that had come to the party.
Daniel had been drinking his third beer already and he was laughing with his douchebag friends.
"Daddy, look at this!" Joshua said and Daniel tried to get him away.
"Yeah okay, great." Daniel said he ignored his son.
"Daddy, you aren't looking." Joshua frowned then Daniel got frustrated and took his arm and threw him lightly to the other kids, causing Joshua to trip and fall which hurt Joshua and he looked at his father with tears in his eyes and ran to his mother.
"Momma!" Joshua cried out and AJ turned to see Joshua crying as AJ worriedly took Joshua in her arms.
"What happened, baby?" AJ said as she stroked her son's hair.
"Daddy hurt me." Joshua said and AJ got infuriated. She would let him hurt her, but never not ever let him hit her son.
"Okay, baby, I'll go talk to your father. Go back to talk to the other kids." AJ said as she put down Joshua and took out the last thing that was in the oven before walking out of the kitchen and heading over to where Daniel was and placed her hands on her waist looking at him, furious over how he hurt her son.
"What?" Daniel asked since AJ had been standing there a while and he wanted her to leave him and his friends alone.
"You don't do that to Joshua."AJ said angrily.
"He was bothering me." Daniel said as he looked over at his friends with a smirk. AJ rolled her eyes and made him look at her.
"You don't hurt my son." AJ said before letting go of his chin then Daniel got up and grabbed AJ's wrist tightly then AJ looked back at Daniel and yanked her wrist away from his grip.
"You don't talk to me like that." Daniel said as he walked closer to her, talking lowly not wanting to cause chaos at the party.
"Then you don't hurt Joshua." AJ said as she pointed at Joshua.
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry." Daniel said before kissing her and AJ got out from his grip and wiped her mouth before heading back into the kitchen.
"Jack ass." Punk muttered under his breath as he was sitting on the couch next to Amy then got up. He needed to do it now or else he was never going to do it.
"Where are you going?" Amy asked as she grabbed his hand.
"I'm going to the kitchen to see if AJ is alright, I'll be back okay." Punk said and Amy grinned and pecked his lips before letting him go. As Punk walked to the kitchen he wiped his lips from the kiss before entering and seeing AJ preparing one of the dishes she made.
"Hey." Punk said and AJ looked up to see Punk.
"Hi." AJ said before going back to fixing the dish so she can serve the meal before the party ended.
"Need help?" Punk asked and AJ glanced at him.
"No, I'm good, thanks though." AJ replied and Punk sat on one of the chairs that were at the counter and he sat in one that directly faced AJ and he watched her for a couple minutes.
"How's Joshua?" Punk asked and AJ sighed.
"He's fine, well now angry at his father, but he'll get over it." AJ replied. Punk fiddled with his lip ring with his tongue as pain suddenly hit him when AJ said that Daniel was Joshua's father.
"Why are you here Punk?" AJ asked as she stopped preparing the dish.
"What? I can't be in here?" Punk asked and AJ rolled her eyes.
"Okay, okay, I came to talk." Punk said.
"About?" AJ asked and Punk looked at her and took a deep breath.
"About Daniel…and Joshua." Punk said and AJ swallowed roughly.
"Look, Daniel's hurting you and that's not good. But of course, you wouldn't listen to me so I guess I just came here to talk about your kid." Punk said and AJ's heart started to beat fast from nervousness.
"Look, is Joshua really Daniel's kid?" Punk asked and AJ looked at Punk straight in the eye then worked on the dish she was preparing.
"Why do you care?" AJ asked and then Punk sighed.
"Because that kid doesn't look like Daniel, barely looks like you and looks a lot like me. Same facial features. Same eye color." Punk said.
"Eye color doesn't mean anything and maybe mine and Daniel's genes mixed and it ended up looking like you." AJ said as she continued to prepare another meal.
"Yes, because Daniel is my long lost brother right? AJ don't play bullshit with me." Punk said as his voice started to raise a little.
"Is he mine?" Punk asked once more and AJ sighed deeply and blinked a couple times.
"Yeah, he's yours." AJ revealed and Punk felt such happiness, but then it was soon gone when he realized that AJ didn't tell him sooner rather than wait a year later.
"Why didn't you tell me then?" Punk asked as his voice got louder.
"Because I thought you would get angry and not even be involved Punk and that's when you dumped me. I was depressed. I wanted to tell you, but I knew I couldn't do that to you, plus you aren't even in love with me anymore. You're with Amy." AJ said and Punk shook his head and stopped AJ from walking out and put the dish tray she was carrying on the counter and looked at her.
"I never said I stopped loving you though." Punk said and AJ shook her head.
"What difference does it make? Sooner or later, you'll be in love with Amy, Punk." AJ said
"It does make a difference because let's face it, both of us are jealous of each other's partners. You're jealous of Amy and I'm jealous of Daniel." Punk said.
"I'm not jealous of Amy, Punk. I have Daniel." AJ said.
"Yeah, a real man because a real man actually hurts his fiancé right?" Punk asked and AJ glared at him.
"Shut up." AJ said and Punk chuckled.
"AJ, stop fooling yourself alright. I'm going to be honest with you, ever since I saw Joshua, things have been different between Amy and I and I'm sure we aren't going to last that long soon. I never stopped being in love with you and I don't think I will never. Okay, I'm still in love with you, but you're making it really hard for me to read if you feel the same way." Punk said and AJ looked straight in those green orbs of his then backed away and grabbed the dish and walked out to put the tray on the table with Punk followed after her, bothering her.
"Stop, Punk. Seriously, just stop." AJ said lowly so anyone else wouldn't hear.
"Hey, Punk." Amy said as she walked up the duo before AJ went into the kitchen again and grabbed the other dish.
"Hi." Punk said in a monotone voice then Amy sighed.
"Seriously? What's wrong with you every time I try to talk to you? Did you forget that I'm your girlfriend?" Amy asked and Punk rolled his eyes then walked away from Amy and went outside to the patio with her following after Punk.
"Punk, I'm sorry for being clingy, but you're my boyfriend and you aren't acting like one." Amy said as she wrapped an arm on his shoulders then he moved his shoulders to get her arm off of him.
"Amy, listen to me, I'm not in love with you and I don't want to continue to hurt you." Punk said as he looked at Amy then she pursed her lips and nodded.
"Okay." Amy said as her voice started to crack.
"Look, I'm sorry." Punk said and Amy shook her head and left through the back gate. Punk sighed and sat back with his eyes closed. What else did he need to do to get AJ once again? He needed the woman he loved, but she was so convinced that she was in love with Daniel. She hadn't changed at all since they've been together and she had his son.
Punk sighed as he got up and left through the back gate. He knew he wasn't going to get any sleep tonight and he wasn't going to bother with trying either. His thoughts clouded his mind and he didn't know what else to do. He just hoped that AJ would at least think about his words. Everything he said, he meant it. He was still in love with her and he was honestly happy that Joshua was his and not the goat face's kid. He got into his car then banged on his wheel in frustration.
"What else am I supposed to fucking do?" Punk said as he yelled into the wheel with his head on his forearms.
After a few minutes, he turned on the engine of his car and drove off back to his house, still thinking about what to do to finally win AJ's heart, he didn't know how else he was going to do it, but he was going to. He couldn't give up.
AJ was asleep next to Daniel in bed with his back facing her. She was wide awake. Punk's words played through her head over and over, though she was in love with Daniel at the moment. Yeah of course, they had their problems, but they also worked it out. He helped her clean up and gave her affection after everyone left and tucked Joshua into bed and apologized for his actions earlier. She loved him and how much he has supported her through everything till now with Joshua. Punk's words just kept replaying and replaying. She sighed as she sat up and ran a hand through her hair.
"Why does he keep running after me?" AJ asked herself. She would have to admit that she was at least in love with Punk very much, but deep down she was.
The only reason she wouldn't be with Punk was because she was scared of him leaving her and Joshua all alone. She hated thinking about it and that's why she pleased Daniel the way he liked it and that's why he stayed, but she knew he was cheating behind her back, but at least he was still here supporting her right? He wouldn't leave her, especially since they are getting married in a about a year or two. AJ laid back down and soon went to sleep with Daniel's arm around her and Punk's words replaying in her head.
