Chapter 21: Late Night Visits
Amy stormed into her hotel room and threw her bag across the room.
"Bad night?" T asked her with a chuckle
"You're still here?" Amy asked annoyed
"Yea I'm still here. I need a plane ticket to get back home and I can't get a plane ticket without money so…" he trailed off
"Your little stunt with AJ has done nothing but make her look more like a victim" Amy spat at him "She slapped me tonight and do you want to know what Vince McMahon said to me? He told me that maybe I shouldn't be hanging around while AJ is readjusting!"
"Wow" T chuckled "She's always had that poor me thing working for her. It cost me my job"
"It backfired" Amy said to him
"I thought it wasn't about her" T reminded her "I thought this was about hurting Punk"
"Well he doesn't look all that hurt" Amy spat
"How about I just jump him?" T asked her
"You couldn't even beat up AJ you really think you could tell Punk?" Amy mocked
"I went easy on her" T defended "I didn't want to kill the girl"
"Maybe you should have" Amy said to him
"You're really losing it" T laughed "How about you just move on? Punk seems to always want what he can't have"
"You're right" Amy agreed
"I'm always right" T laughed
"I can't believe she hit me" Amy said rubbing her cheek
"She's feisty" T chuckled
"Stop saying that!" Amy yelled "She's an insecure little girl who I should have ripped limb from limb tonight"
"You seem more mad at her then him" T pointed out
"You should have heard the way he spoke to me tonight" Amy said to him "He was horrible."
"You've been acting weird" T said to her "You can't really blame the guy"
"Whose side are you on?" Amy asked him
"I don't hate Punk" T said to her "I also don't hate AJ. That's all you sweetheart"
"How could not her?" Amy asked him
"She isn't the one who kicked me out of wrestling school that was all Jay Lethal" T said to her "Besides I hold a special place for her I did take her virginity" he smirked
"Yea and as I recall it wasn't all that memorable" Amy pointed out
"She must be doing something right" T laughed "She's got Punk on a tight leash"
"Wonderful" Amy muttered "You're my friend!"
"I know and I'm sorry you're so upset but maybe you should let it go" T suggested
"I can't let it go it hurts too much" she cried lightly "I want him to feel as badly as I feel"
"Well unless AJ starts sleeping around and dumps him that's not going to happen" T said to her "And honestly I don't think she's going to do that so you're going to need a plan b"
"Maybe trying to force yourself on her was a mistake" Amy said to him
"It was" T said to her "I know I was just supposed to scare her but I got all worked up- you know how I get"
"Maybe its all the steroids you've been shoving down your throat" Amy mocked
"I'm trying to buff back up" T defended innocently
"Try working out" Amy shot back "Anyway maybe you can reintroduce yourself to AJ"
"Look I get where you're going with this but it's not happening" T said to her "Punk is rich and famous I can't compete with that"
"What about your cousin?" Amy asked him
"James?" T scoffed "Please he's called me every night crying about how terrible he feels for helping me get into AJ's place and besides she moved. James doesn't know where she went"
"What am I supposed to do?" Amy asked with a sigh taking a seat on the bed
"Nothing" T admitted walking over to her "The only thing you can do is try to make yourself feel better and I think I can help in that department" he said with a sly smile
"Fine" She mumbled pulling off her top
"At least pretend to be into it this time" T said removing his own shirt. A knock at the door halted their actions "Crap I forgot I ordered food"
"To my room?" Amy asked annoyed
"You have the money" T shrugged simply walking over the door and opening it but didn't find the room service he was expecting. "Oh its you" T said slowly
"Great" Punk mumbled annoyed "Amy in there?"
"Maybe" T said to him who still wasn't wearing a shirt "We're kind of in the middle of something so if you could come back later-" Punk just pushed past T and entered the room
"Phil" Amy said surprised reaching for her shirt and putting it back on
"We need to talk" Punk said to her
"I agree" Amy said to him as she stood up
"I'll just leave you two alone" T said awkwardly
"No you stay" Punk demanded
"Does AJ know you're here?" Amy asked him quietly
"Of course she does" Punk said to her "I don't know what's gotten into you or who for that matter" he said glaring towards T "But your little games have to stop now" he warned
"I'm not playing games" Amy defended "I'm a grown adult"
"So start acting like one!" Punk yelled startling her
"You should really be having this conversation with AJ" Amy said firmly "She attacked me tonight!"
"You told her she was asking for her attack to happen" Punk said disgusted "How dare you!" even T was surprised by the comment and looked towards Amy
"She needs to be knocked down a peg or two. You're blowing her head up and now she thinks she untouchable" Amy said to him
"She is untouchable" Punk said in a low tone "Don't forget that Amy. And you" he said now looking towards T "what's your part in this?"
"I don't have a part" T defended "I'm just keeping my good friend company"
"I know about your past with AJ" Punk said to him "You can fuck off too" he warned
"Don't talk to him like that" Amy said to him "You can't just come in here-"
"Oh I think I can" Punk laughed
"She's going to break your heart" Amy warned "I'd feel bad for you if I wasn't looking forward to it so much"
"You've really lost it" Punk said eyeing his ex-girlfriend
"You made me this way" Amy pointed out "You broke me. Do you think I like feeling this way?"
"Yea I do" Punk said to her
"You're as demented as your girlfriend" Amy said to him "Get out of my room" she demanded pointing to the door
"Stay out of AJ's face and don't come around me again" he warned her "Go back to Atlanta and focus on your music or something there's no place for you here anymore"
"You can't dictate what she does" T said to him coolly "she made a name for herself in WWE and if it weren't for her AJ wouldn't even have a job right now"
"Did I ask for your input?" Punk asked the man
"I'm just trying to keep the peace" T defended raising his arms in defeat "but uh- AJ remembered me?" he asked Punk with a grin but he wasn't amused
"I wouldn't be proud of that" Punk informed him
"Hey it was good for me" T laughed but neither Punk or Amy joined him. Punk took a step towards T but Amy jumped in the middle
"Leave now" Amy said in a very low voice
"It's not so much fun when I'm popping up all over the place is it?" Punk mocked then walked towards the door and slammed it hard behind him as he left
"That went well" T noted with a proud nod as Amy shot him a look
Punk slid his keycard into the door and walked into his and AJ's room. She was laying in bed watching TV and looked up him when he walked in.
"How'd that go?" she asked
"I think I got my point across" Punk said kicking off his shoes
"You weren't gone long" AJ noted looking at the time
"I didn't have much to say" Punk shrugged "She wasn't alone either"
"Good for her maybe she'll move on" AJ said hopefully
"She was with that Frank guy" Punk noted
"They're probably good for each other" AJ said to him
"I don't like it" Punk said to her "Something is very wrong with all of this"
"Just leave it alone" AJ said to him "You said what you had to say, I said what I had to say and Amy said all she wanted to so let's just let this die now"
"That guy is dick" Punk mumbled and AJ just giggled
"I told you" she said crawling over to him "Did he say anything about me?"
"He might have" Punk mumbled "What did you ever see in a guy like that?"
"I was young Phil" she reminded him I was barely twenty and he noticed me" she shrugged "He made me feel special"
"He's a user" Punk warned
"I know that" she sighed resting her chin on his shoulder as he sat up on the edge of the bed "I kissed a few toads in my life but I finally landed my prince" she smirked kissing his neck
"Was she always this vindictive?" Punk asked more himself
"I couldn't tell you" she shrugged wrapping her arms around him "Just let it go"
"I was with her for years and it's like I don't even know her" Punk said to her
"A broken heart can change someone" AJ told him simply "She'll be fine in a few weeks"
"When Paul came to see me last week he implied that he thought Amy could have been behind your attack" Punk admitted
"Well that would make sense at least" AJ said to him "But I really don't think Amy is that criminally connected to hire a guy to attack me" she smirked
"I think it has to do with me" Punk said firmly
"Because of that comment I dreamt about?" she asked "You need to forget that already"
"I can't" Punk said to her "It's bad enough what happened to you but if I find out it has anything to do with me-"
"It doesn't" she assured him cutting him off "You heard what Amy said I-"
"Don't even go there" Punk warned her seriously "You don't dress trampy and even if you did it still doesn't make it ok. No matter how you look or act it doesn't give someone permission to put their hands on you without consent."
"They don't make men like you anymore" AJ noted fondly
"I grew up with women" Punk reminded her "I may not have the best track record with relationships but I would never physically touch one in anyway that wasn't invited"
"I know" she whispered with a sigh "You're a good man now come to bed" she demanded crawling up the bed and pulling down the covers
"I think I'm too wired to sleep" Punk said to her "I'm so pissed at her and Frank or T or whatever he goes by pissed me off too"
"Everyone pisses you off" she teased
"True" he agreed "But there's something about him that gets under my skin"
"Maybe it's the fact that I slept with him?" AJ suggested as Punk took off his shirt and kicked off his shorts
"Well that certainly doesn't help" Punk agreed as he crawled into the bed next to her "He's just a douche bag" Punk shrugged "I never liked him"
"So after SmackDown tomorrow night are you coming back to Tampa with me?" AJ asked hopefully. She knew she had to go back home but she really didn't want to be alone yet.
"Yea" Punk said looking up at the ceiling
"Great" AJ said to him "I can write you another check"
"A check for what?" Punk asked tilting his head to look over to her
"For the beach house" She said to him
"You already wrote me check" Punk reminded her "Two as a matter of fact"
"You haven't cashed them" She pointed out "You said you lost them"
"Yea and I'll find them. They're in my place somewhere" Punk shrugged
"I found them ripped up in your garbage" she shot back
"That's really weird" Punk said innocently "Someone else must have did that"
"Yes someone broke into your two million dollar home and not only did they not steal a thing but they ripped up checks" AJ mocked
"Stranger things have happened" Punk said to her
"If you don't-" she started but was cut off by Punk kissing her
"Help me unwind" he requested
"Are you going to take my money?" AJ asked pulling away
"Now this sounds like some sort of a business deal" Punk said to her seriously "It's almost like you're trying to pay me for sex and that is illegal and I will have no part of that"
"You are impossible" AJ mumbled as she crawled on top of him
"Impossibly good looking" Punk countered causing her to roll her eyes and laugh
"Oh my gosh that was the worst thing you've ever said" she said laughing hysterically covering her mouth with her hand but Punk wasn't amused
"You don't think I'm good looking?" Punk asked faking disappointment
"I think you're the hottest guy I've ever met" AJ confirmed "Your pickup lines could use a little work though"
"I landed you didn't I?" Punk smirked running his hands over her thighs
"True" AJ smirked as she grinded her lower half against him and caused him to groan
"Now are you going to unwind me or am I going to have to take care of myself?" he asked her seriously
"Yea I think I can help you out" she smirked crossing her arms and pulling off her t-shirt
"You are so beautiful" Punk remarked in awe of her as he ran his hands over her bare torso.
"Lean back" she said as he tried to sit up "Let me take care of you tonight" she requested and as could already feel his want for her. She leaned down and their lips were inches apart when a loud banging from the door startled both of them. AJ looked down at Punk and he could see she was afraid. "Who the hell is that?" she whispered
"I'll go check" he said moving her off of him. He grabbed his shorts and tugged them on and passed AJ her shirt "Put that back on" he said to her and she just nodded and placed the shirt back on over her head. He opened the door and almost growled at the man standing on the other side of it.
"Sorry I guess I'm interrupting you as well" T smirked noting Punk's appearance
"How did you know what room I was in?" Punk asked annoyed
"I followed you" T said to him simply "I wanted to apologize on behalf of Amy" he said to him
"Great you can go" Punk said closing the door but T stopped him from fully closing it. Punk looked up at the man almost ready to pounce on him "What else could I possibly do for you?" he asked bitterly
"I was hoping to see AJ" T admitted
"No you can't" Punk said to him
"I'm sure she's in there" T sighed "Come on"
"She is in there and she's not up for guests so you can go" Punk said to him but still couldn't close the door because T's foot was in the way "You want me to break that foot?" he asked him coolly
"Phil" AJ said walking over to him and pushing the door open "It's fine" she looked up towards Frank "Hey Frank"
"Hey AJ" he said shamefully "I heard about-"
"Ok you saw her" Punk said standing in front of AJ "You can go and report back to Amy now"
"I've known Amy for years she's my friend and she really needs a friend right now" T argued lightly "I just wanted to see how AJ was doing"
"I'm good" she said from behind Punk's back
"Well goodnight then" Punk said then slammed the door in his face
"Wow" AJ said to him in disbelief "That was super rude"
"And what he did to you wasn't?" Punk questioned
"It was years ago" she said to him
"I don't trust him and not just because I know he's a dick but because he's hanging around Amy" Punk said to her "Stay away from him" he warned "Who knows what Amy has up her sleeve"
"I don't want to talk to him or be near him" AJ assured him
"Good now where were we?" he asked seriously
"How did that go?" Amy asked as T re-entered the hotel room
"It went great" T said to her enthusiastically "Punk wasn't in the room and I seduced AJ right then and there"
"You're lying" she frowned
"He wouldn't even let her talk to me" T said to her "And that's because of your crazy ass"
"Well call your cousin" Amy said to him
"And do what?" T asked with a sigh "Trust me she's not interested in him like that"
"Well maybe they could hang out and maybe you could be there" Amy suggested
"So am I seducing her or assaulting her again?" T asked her seriously
"Whatever will work T" Amy said annoyed
"He's going to be there with her" T said to her
"They can't be together 24/7" Amy said to him
"I'm out" T said to her grabbing his bad
"What?" Amy asked
"You've lost it" T said to her with a snort "You're on your own here. It was fun the first time but I'm not going to keep attacking a girl because you're jealous of her"
"I'm not jealous of her! It's not about her it's about him!" Amy reminded him
"Right" T said to her "Enlist someone else to help you hurt him then and hopefully it's someone with half a brain"
"There are plenty of people that are willing to help me" Amy defended
"Good" T said with a shrug
"How are you getting home?" Amy asked
"I'll figure it out" T said to her "And seriously good luck to you because you're going to need it"
"I don't need you" Amy said to him bitterly and watched as he walked out of the hotel room door. She decided to go to her plan b and reached for her cell phone…
Later in the night AJ was wrapped around Punk after a blissful night. She fell asleep listening to his heartbeat as she rested her head against his bare chest. She was again having that same dream she had been having since her attack only this time she saw her attackers face clearly…very clearly in fact and she knew exactly who it was. Her eyes shot open as she realized her attacker was none other than Amy's friend and her former flame. She looked up to make sure Punk was still asleep and his words were playing in her hand.
"It's bad enough what happened to you but if I find out it has anything to do with me…"
"He'd never forgive himself" AJ muttered to herself
"Hmm what was that?" Punk asked slowly opening his eyes "You have a bad dream?"
"No I'm good" she said curling into him "I'm dream free"
"Good" He said kissing the top of her head then falling back to sleep
