CHAPTER 6:
A few more weeks had passed and it was now early February. The 26th annual Royal Rumble had since passed by a week earlier and AJ was cleared to return back into the ring. She began her training in the ring with her ex, Jay Lethal whom speculation is still going on and about amongst her coworkers.
"April, I'm go glad that you're back and feeling ok" said Trinity as she handed AJ a bouquet of 4 pink roses. "Thank you very much" she said as she wiped the sweat from off her face. Trinity nodded as she walked away. AJ sat down the bouquet as she resumed her training with Jay. "Well I'm sure glad that you're doing a lot better" said Jay. "Thanks" said AJ. "So which move do you wanna work on now?" asked Jay. Before AJ could answer, she noticed that the members of the shield had entered into the gym.
"Um, actually I was thinking that we could um…relax and take a break for a while" said AJ. "Sure" said Jay. "I'll see you back here in half hour". AJ nodded as she stepped out of the ring and picked up her bouquet of flowers. She had business to take care of. She walked on over to the three members as they were doing warm up stretches.
"Hey, that's pretty sweet of him to give you those" said Roman. "Yeah" said Seth. "It's pretty cute how Jay would do that for you". "Actually, Trinity gave them to me" said AJ. "Oh I didn't know that she had a thing for you" said Dean. "I thought she was into Jon". AJ gave an aggravated sigh. "Don't mind him, he's an asshole who likes to joke a lot" said Roman as he stood up on the treadmill. AJ walked on closer to him. "Look" she said while shifting the bouquet on her side. "We need to talk". "Well don't you have my number?" asked Roman as he began insert his earphones in. "No actually I don't" said AJ with an attitude. Roman paused before inserting the wire into his ipod. "It's um 234-".
AJ cut him off. "You know what I don't need your number. What I need to know is why'd you left me practically stranded at the hospital a few weeks ago?" "Didn't you read my letter?" asked Roman. "Yeah but…" said AJ. "Yeah?" asked Roman. "Yeah but, I kind of wish that you had actually waited before leaving me to tell me that you actually were" said AJ. "Look I'm sorry" said Roman. "But if you really did read my letter, you'd find out that I'd promise to make it up to you". "Ok but when?" asked AJ. "Not right now" said Roman as he connected his wires in and began to play his music.
AJ sighed in annoyance as she began to walk away, but not before turning back to catch a glimpse of her coworker heavily jogging on the treadmill. Her heart began pounding. "Oh no" she thought. "I think I'm…falling for him". She turned away and continued making her way down the hallway towards the bathroom, still carrying this thought.
Meanwhile outside, Nikki and Brie Bella were walking into the studio. "Ugh must you complain about everything?" asked Brie. "What I'm complaining about is the fact that AJ was aloud to return so soon" said Nikki. Brie abruptly stopped Nikki from walking by tugging on her arm. "Must you be so cruel?" she asked. "Jeez Brianna, I didn't know that you liked AJ so much" said Nikki. "Are…are you being sarcastic with me?" asked Brie. "Oh God no Brie" said Nikki. "I'm just pissed off about that little bitch thinking that I was the one to have written that damn love letter. You know how I hate to be fucking accused of shit".
Brie took a step back. "Nicole…you didn't?" she asked. "Didn't what Brie?" Nikki asked annoyed. "You didn't write that letter, did you?" asked Brie. "Hell no Brianna!" said Nikki. "I wouldn't waste the time of day on that whoring bitch". Nikki continued making her way down the hall, causing her twin sister Brie to wonder exactly who did write that letter to AJ.
