A/N: Hey guys! Sorry for the long update. I know its only been a week or so but that's a long spread to me so I apologize. Anyways, here is the second chapter. Enjoy!

AJ's eyes were locked in place on this man. A man who treats her disrespectfully and unimportantly. She didn't know what to say.

"D-Daniel, what are you doing her-"

"Oh what, thought I left huh? You thought I have forgotten what you did earlier?" Daniel interrupted her

AJ shook "No I just thought Punk made it clear that-"

"Made it clear that I what AJ, leave you alone? To never speak to you again?" Daniel interrupted her once again. "What type of vengeful person would I be if I were to just live and forget huh?"

AJ started to shake. What's taking Punk so long is what she was thinking. "I didn't do anything to you at all. I was just-"

"Oh what, you're going to act all innocent now? You're going to deny that you cost me MY WORLD TITLE AT WRESTLEMANIA?"

AJ didn't say a word. She couldn't find the words to try and tell him that she didn't cost him his title. If she did, he would most certainly harm her.

Daniel started making slow steps toward her "You see AJ, you did cost me my title. And when you do something as regrettable like that, then you are surely going to pay the consequences for it am I right?"

AJ didn't say a word.

"AM I RIGHT?" Daniel screamed at her as he then back-smacked his hand across her face

AJ yelped in pain "Y-Yes"

Daniel smirked as he felt proud once AJ had agreed that she will pay the consequences for costing him his title. Daniel was about to say something but was quickly knocked off his feet by CM Punk who had pushed him forcefully on the ground.

"WHAT THE FUCK MAN? I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM HER DIDN'T I?" Punk angrily asked as he grabbed Daniel's shirt and pulled it awaiting an answer. "DIDN'T I?"

"Yes you did. You told me to stay away from her" Daniel worriedly said back

"Then why did you come after her again huh? Tell me you bastard?" Punk said as he gripped Daniel's shirt once again and lifted him up and pounced him back to the ground. "TELL ME"

"Because she cost me my world title at WrestleMania" Daniel coherently spoke

Punk growled "She did not cost you your damn title. You cost yourself your title. Don't blame her for your mistake jackass"

Daniel flipped out "She did so cost me my world title. And she will pay the consequences for it"

Punk couldn't take it anymore. How dare Daniel threaten AJ. "I'm going to make this perfectly clear to you. If you ever touch AJ again then I will hurt you like you have never been hurt before you understand me? Leave AJ alone!"

Daniel briefly nodded and covered himself as he thought Punk was going to punch him.

"Let's go AJ" Punk said as he released his hands off of Daniel's shirt and he and AJ walked out side by side leaving Daniel's shaking form on the floor.

Daniel watched as Punk and AJ left the room and carried on their way. Daniel was angry at Punk but also at himself for not realizing that Punk would be around defending AJ at all times. He should have chosen his stage wisely. Punk may have made it clear to him to never touch AJ but that doesn't mean she is free. AJ agreed to pay the consequences and so she will. It will only be a matter of time.

Punk and AJ were out of the arena and in the parking lot heading towards Punk's bus. He was carrying AJ's bags and held her close to him. AJ hadn't said a word since Daniel had slapped her and she was nervous about Punk finding out. They finally made it to his bus and he opened the door, allowing her in first.

"Let's get going Jake" Punk alerted his bus driver to start going. Jake nodded and started the engine and headed out.

Punk made his way into the bus and saw AJ sitting quietly on the couch. She looked like a zombie staring out the window. Her eyes looking cold as ice and her skin coloring pale. Punk rested their bags down on the table and walked over to AJ, sitting next to her and rubbing her back.

"April are you alright?" Punk asked softly as he continued to rub her back

AJ nodded creepily "Yeah. Couldn't be better"

Punk looked uneasy as he could hear the fear in her voice. He didn't want her to be scared.

"April look at me. You don't have to be scared. I won't ever let Daniel hurt you. I promised you that."

AJ looked at him "You promise?"

"I promise" Punk smiled back.

AJ smiled back at him and reached over into his arms and placed her head on his chest. She could hear his clam and soothing heart beat as it put her in a relaxed state. Punk smiled as he knew that his promise made her feel safer and in a better place. He would never break that promise. He would never disappoint her.

Punk took his hand and started going through her hair, feeling her smooth and silky locks. He lowered his head and rested his nose on her hair, smelling the vanilla shampoo that he loves so much. AJ smiled beneath him as she knew he was drooling over the smell of her hair. His nose was still attached to it.

"Are you enjoying yourself up there?" AJ amusingly asked "You know in my hair?"

Punk awoken from his trance "Oh um Yeah I'm good"

AJ giggled "I'm sure you are"

Punk giggled back as he knew he's been caught red handed "Your smell brings back memories"

AJ lifted her head from his chest and looked at him "And yours well...*sniff sniff* pff you need to take a shower" AJ laughed

Punk gawked at her in surprise "I'm not that bad" he told her

AJ died in laughter "Uh it's bad"

Punk playfully growled at her as he jumped on top of her and rubbed himself on her "Now look who's smelly"

AJ squealed "Oh my God get off of me you dirty pig"

Punk laughed "dirty pig? I thought you loved it dirty?"

AJ was dying in laughter. Punk brought out a side of her that no other guy ever did. He brought out the playful happy side which he loved. AJ tried to maneuver her way out from under him but he was too smart for her. He had her trapped like a pig and she wasn't getting away that easily.

"Come on Punk get off go take a shower" AJ suggested him

Punk smiled "Well if I'm taking a shower than you're taking one with me"

AJ decided to play a game with Punk. She knew how much he loves games

"And what if I don't?" AJ said with all the confidence in the world

Punk raised an eyebrow and knew her love for games "then I guess I will have no choice but to tickle you to death"

And with that, Punk began to tickle at AJ's sides and her stomach. He wouldn't stop until AJ had agreed to take a shower with him. AJ tried to push his hands away but she was still trapped beneath him and his hands were like wild flies, spreading across her entire body. AJ giggled to the point of exhaustion and finally decided to give into him as she knew she wasn't going to win this game.

"Okay fine I'll take a shower with you" AJ told him still giggling

Punk stopped tickling her and allowed her to recuperate. "So you're going to shower with me?" he asked as he started poking at her sides again just in case she said the wrong answer

"Yes Yes I'll shower with you" AJ quickly spoke back still trying to recover from Punk's grueling tickling.

"Great. Let's go"

Punk got up off of AJ and he helped her up and walked with her to the shower. They got undressed, turned on the water to boiling hot and stepped in and had themselves a very hot shower. Forty five minutes later, Punk and AJ had gotten out of the shower and into their PJ's. They were now clean and ready for the night. Punk was sitting on the couch playing mortal combat and AJ was watching.

"You want to play against me?" Punk asked her

AJ looked at him and declined his offer "No thanks. I don't want to fight you"

Punk chuckled under his breath and looked at her "AJ it's a game. We're not really fighting"

AJ looked at him and started laughing herself "No what I meant was, that it's best that I don't fight you because well…I'm going to kick your ass so it's best that I don't play"

Punk laughed himself. Of course she thinks she could beat him at video games. It's only she can't beat him in real life.

"Well then may the best player win" Punk told her as he handed her another controller

AJ looked at him surprised "CM Punk are you sure you know what you're getting yourself into?"

Punk laughed "Oh I'm about to find out"

AJ smiled as she took the controller and started playing against Punk. Five rounds later AJ had beaten Punk six times in a row.

"Ha victory is mine." AJ jumped up and cheered "See. I told you not to fight me"

Punk felt embarrassed. He got humiliated by AJ at his favorite game Moral Combat. Punk was unbeatable in that game. At least that was only against Kofi. Punk licked his lips and gave it to her.

"Congratulations AJ, I guess you are the winner" Punk applauded her "but that is in the game. How about in real life?" Punk challenged her

AJ stopped celebrating her video game win and looked over at Punk who was smirking at the window. He knew what he was doing. He wanted to see if she could beat him in a match in real life and he knows that she could never beat him. He was challenging her.

:"What are you getting at CM Punk?" AJ asked suspiciously

Punk left that distinct smirk on his face "I'm opening you a challenge Ms. AJ Lee"

AJ put down the controller and she was all ears "What kind of challenge?"

"I want you to face me in a match one on one in the ring" Punk challenged

"A match? Against you? Are you crazy?" AJ jolted out

"Yes, Yes and Yes" Punk smugly said "I want to see exactly how well you go up against me inside a ring"

AJ was confused "But Phil, that's totally unfair and besides, I am the general manger of Raw. I can't wrestle you when I have a job to do"

Punk bowed his head and laughed "Who said it had to be in front of the world? When you are being the general manager of Raw?"

"Then where and how are we going to do this?" AJ asked

"I am not scheduled for tomorrow's house show in Bridgeport so we can do it then" Punk told her

"But I am. I am the general manager of Raw and I have to attend every show" AJ informed him

Punk turned and looked at her "That's not a problem. Every general manager gets to have a few call out days. And you happen to have zero used"

AJ was more confused now "You want me to leave my job of being the general manager of Raw for a day just so I can have a match against you?"

Punk turned back and stared out the window "Yep" is all he said

"But that doesn't, I don't get, ugh fine" AJ gave up and said

Punk faced her "Just think of it as more us time. A day together expect tomorrow, your ass is mine"

AJ shook her head "Well I guess we'll have to wait and see wont we?"

"I guess so"

AJ then got up from the couch and started to walk back to his bedroom "Are you coming Punkers or you just going to sit there like a statue?"

Punk smirked "Of course not" Punk then got up and followed her to his bedroom.

Both Punk and AJ slipped into bed and cuddled up next to each other. Punk put his arm around AJ's waist and pulled her closely to his body, protecting her. AJ smiled as she rested her head on his chest and pulled the covers over them.

"Good night Punk" AJ sleepily said

"Good night AJ" Punk said back as he then placed a kiss on her forehead and both of them drifted off to sleep.

Superstars Hotel 1:45a.m

Daniel made his way into the superstar's hotel. He left the arena late after the AJPunk encounter. He was very heated and just wanted to destroy both AJ and Punk. Daniel walked up to the hotel desk, got his room key and made his way up to the 6th floor and marched his way to his room.

Daniel reached the 6th floor and exited the elevator. He made his way down the hall and was talking to himself.

"I hate Punk. I hate AJ. God I hate those two so much" Daniel said to himself

Daniel had reached his room and slid his key in and walked in. He threw his bags across the room and marched into the bathroom. He looked at himself in the mirror and gripped the sink.

"AJ is going to pay. Punk is going to pay. AJ will pay more. But Punk will pay as well."

Daniel marched back out of the bathroom and took out his phone. He started reading through his tweets and came across stupid fan messages that meant nothing to him.

"Stupid mindless fans" Daniel said as he continued flipping through his twitter feed

Daniel then saw a recent tweet from AJ Lee writing; "Having an amazing night. Wouldn't want it any other way"

This made Daniel hiss and fuel up all his anger. He started to prance back and forth in his room and rested his hands on the back of his head. He needed to think of a plan to destroy AJ. He had to think of one fast. But before he could get to AJ, he had to eliminate the problem that was in the way, and that problem was CM Punk.

Daniel spent all morning thinking of a plan. He came up with various ideas like taking out Punk's knee or getting Punk suspended but none of those were good enough. He wanted to do something that would do the damage on AJ as well plus some. Then it hit him. He knew the plan that would take Punk away from the picture. He would reveal it next Monday on Raw. And this will be sure to drive CM Punk away from AJ forever.

"Ha Ha Ha that little bitch is going to be mine" Daniel evilly laughed "She won't even see it coming"

Daniel traveled over to his bed, went under his covers and slept away the few hours he had left. He couldn't wait to see the look on both Punk and AJ's face when he reveals his plan on Raw.
