Worth The Wait

Jason walked into the shop after dropping AJ off at her Saturday night class. He was tempted to wait in the car for her but she'd be a few hours. He didn't like her being in that neighborhood but he made a mental note to leave early to get to her so she wouldn't have to wait around for long.

"You dropped AJ off at that night class?" Punk asked Jason who nodded.

"Yea and I'm going to swing by and get her when she's done." Jason told him.

"Good. I would have done it but I have something for her and need time to set it up." Punk said to him.

"What do you have planned?" Jason asked then his face dropped. "Never mind I don't want to know."

"Relax man." Punk said reaching into his pocket.

"A ring?" Jason asked surprised.

"Uh no." Punk laughed. "I told you when she's done with school and stuff I'll think about it. Until then she'll have to settle for this." he said as Jason opened the box. It was a diamond necklace. It wasn't shaped in a heart because Punk knew her well enough to know that wasn't her thing. It was almost like a small ball with tons of diamonds around it.

"Wow." Jason whistled. "Fancy necklace."

"Think she'll like it?" Punk asked him and Jason nodded.

"I do." Jason said to him. "This doesn't look cheap."

"It wasn't." Punk admitted. "Traded in Maria's ring and then saved some cash to get it. I've been paying it off for six weeks."

"What's the occasion?" Jason asked. "It's not an anniversary is it?"

"No it's just because." Punk shrugged. "A couple of months ago AJ set up dinner for me and cooked and tonight I'm returning the favor. She's been working like crazy, studying now she's doing this extra credit and deserves something nice to make her smile."

"It will make her smile." Jason said to him.

"Glad you think so, you can help me light the candles I set up in her place." Punk said to him.

"Larry is going to knock them all over." Jason warned him.

"That would be hard for him to do while he's at your place." Punk said to him and Jason's face fell. Jason was not a fan of Larry being in his apartment. Kate adored the dog and Jason didn't mind him in the shop but he ate everything and pissed everywhere. "Kate already agreed and she's thrilled."

Mike walked into the shop next and Jason wouldn't even look at him.

"Fine I'll help." Jason said to him.

"What's going on between the two of you?" Punk asked him.

"Nothing man, are we going to go set up or what?" Jason asked walking up the stairs and Punk followed.

Inside the apartment Punk set up the small table while Jason began to light the hundred candles Punk had gotten.

"I can't believe this used to be where we lived." Jason laughed. "AJ really cleaned it up."

"Yea it's nice." Punk agreed as he walked over to the kitchen and began to prepare what he was going to cook. "She had me pull up the carpet in the bedroom and you won't believe it, there was hard wood floors under there."

"No way." Jason said stopping what he was doing and opening her bedroom door.

"No don't!" Punk yelled and Jason turned around and walked out of the room and glared at Punk.

"My baby sister man." Jason said to him. "Fucking handcuffs?"

"Your baby sister is a freak." Punk shrugged and Jason shook his head disgusted. "That's all a surprise for her just stay out of there."

"Don't worry I'll never walk into that room ever again knowing what goes on in there." Jason assured him.

"You were sitting on my couch last night and you seemed fine." Punk pointed and Jason's face dropped. "You ate at this very kitchen table Monday morning with us and you were ok."

"Are you-" Jason started then just shook his head. "You are disgusting."

"She is." Punk scoffed. "She's an animal I'm the innocent one."

"I doubt that." Jason scoffed.

"So are you going to tell me what the hell is going on with you and Mike?" Punk asked him.

"He pisses me off. I don't like the shit he says about AJ." Jason told him honestly and Punk stopped what he was doing and looked over to him.

"What does he say?" Punk asked.

"Nothing worth getting you pissed off about." Jason said to him.

"Too late." Punk said to him. "What the fuck is he saying?"

"It's Maria just getting inside of his head but it's not just AJ it's Kate too. He feels like we abandoned him for our women." Jason said to him.

"No we grew up." Punk corrected. "He's just jealous." he said brushing it off. "You have a pregnant wife to worry about don't even entertain Jason."

"You've been remarkably calm since you've started dating my sister." Jason noted fondly. "I like this new always happy you."

"I have no reason not to be. I have a great girl in my life who isn't completely selfish and spoiled- well she's spoiled but it's cute, the shop is doing better than ever, I'm making some decent cash and Cubs are looking great this upcoming season." Punk shrugged.

"You keep her grounded and she keeps you sane, it's a good fit." Jason told him.

"We are a good fit." Punk agreed proudly. "Which is why Jason doesn't piss me off. He wants my sloppy seconds? Good let him learn the hard way what she put me through. That should give you some satisfaction."

"That is true." Jason said to him.

"What is this?" Punk asked moving her mail to the side that was on the counter and picked up her English paper. "A C?" he asked himself.

"Oh don't snoop through her stuff." Jason chuckled jogging over there and grabbing the paper from him.

"She told me she didn't get it back yet." Punk said to him.

"She didn't want to upset you." Jason said putting the paper away.

"She can tell me anything she knows that." Punk said to him "Why wouldn't she tell me?"

"I think she's afraid of disappointing you." Jason suggested.

"She's been working too much." Punk said to him shaking his head.

"She wants to do it all on her own let her try." Jason said to him.

"So this class she's at tonight isn't for extra credit? It's to try to bring this grade up?" Punk asked him.

"Yea." Jason said to him and eyed him. "What's the big deal?"

"The big deal is I promised your dad that I'd make sure she'd graduate from college." Punk told him honestly. "I want her to do better than living in this building and working at a bar where men drop their napkins in front of her so she'll bend over for them. She deserves better and I can't give it to her right now so she has to do it herself."

"You're her boyfriend not her parent." Jason reminded him. "She's under a lot of pressure and David only just died. Give her some time."

"I'm not disappointed but I would have helped her." Punk said to him.

"Her professor is letting her work on it." Jason said to him. "Just don't even mention it mostly because she'll think I told you. Let her fix it herself don't become her mom."

"I won't." Punk said to him. "I don't want her to be afraid to talk to me."

"Like I said, she doesn't want to let you down." Jason told him.

"Nothing she does could let me down." Punk insisted. "She's been trying so hard. I'm proud of her."

"Tell her that." Jason urged.

"That's what tonight is all about." Punk told him.

After a two hour class it was dismissed already. The professor had told her it would run for at least four so she was surprised when everyone left.

"What did you think?" The professor asked her.

"I thought it was short but I knew all of this already." AJ told him honestly.

"So apply to your paper." The professor insisted.

"Does this mean I can re-write it?" She asked him.

"I'll tell you what, come by my office tomorrow at seven and I'll help you get started." The professor offered.

"Are you sure?" AJ asked him. "I don't want to be a bother I'm sure you're very busy."

"I am very busy with my job, which is to educate and that includes you." The professor told her.

"I really appreciate you being so nice to me." AJ said relieved. "It's not easy to meet nice people here." She admitted.

"Yea Chicago could be rough." The professor grinned.

"I should get going. I'll be there at seven tomorrow." She promised.

"How are you getting home?" The professor asked her.

"I'm going to call my brother." AJ told him.

"Don't be silly I'm leaving myself." he said grabbing his briefcase. "I'll give you a ride."

"Professor Daniels I couldn't-" She began.

"We're off the student/professor clock as of two minutes ago you can call me Daren." He said to her.

"Daren Daniels." AJ laughed lightly.

"My parents weren't kind to me in that aspect." Daren grinned and lead her out of the classroom.

AJ arrived at the shop and Jason was surprised to see her so early.

"I thought I was picking you up?" Jason asked.

"My professor gave me a ride." AJ said to him and Jason just nodded.

"That was awfully nice of him." Jason forced out.

"What? It saved you a trip." AJ smiled. "Where's my baby?"

"Larry is in my apartment with Kate." Jason groaned.

"I meant my other baby but good to know." she teased.

"Oh you meant Punk." Jason cringed.

"Yes! I finally have a night to myself which means I want him to entertain me." She said to him.

"He's upstairs." Jason said waving her on.

A minute later the shop doors opened and in walked AJ's professor holding a book.

"Sorry, I'm looking for April." The young professor said to him.

"Why?" Jason asked protectively.

"She left her book in my car." Daren said to him.

"She's with her boyfriend." Jason said taking the book. "I'm her brother though."

"So I'm sure you'll make sure she gets that book." Daren smiled.

"I'll make sure she gets it. As long as you make sure you're spending your time educating my sister and that's all." Jason warned him.

"Excuse me?" Daren chuckled.

"I'm not stupid. Getting her to go to that class tonight was ridiculous, driving her home was inappropriate and I see your car isn't running outside so you came in here thinking she'd ask you to stay." Jason noted.

"It's not like that." Daren said to him.

"Fuck off." Jason said bluntly. "AJ is trusting and sweet but I'm not. I know guys like you see a sweet girl from out of town-"

"I'm an educator." Daren informed him stiffly.

"Yea and you 'educators' are all saints." Jason noted.

"I could say the same for mechanics." Daren shrugged.

"I don't claim to be a saint." Jason said to him. "You fuck around with my sister I'll beat your ass, am I clear?"

"Are you threatening me?" Daren asked with a laugh. "I was only trying to save you a ride tonight."

"Sure." Jason said to him with a laugh.

"I think it's wonderful you're so concerned for your sister but you don't have to be." Daren said to him. "I'm making April a better student and that's it."

"If that's the case- good. Keep it that way." Jason said to him. "I'll give this to AJ tomorrow, tonight she's on a date with her boyfriend who is about double my size and not nearly as nice as I am."

"I'll remember that." Daren chuckled. "Nice meeting you."

"Asshole." Jason muttered as Daren walked out the door.

AJ walked into Punk's apartment first since she normally did whenever she got home but there was a note on the refrigerator (first place she always went after class) that he was across the hall. AJ wandered into her own apartment and found candles lit and a table decorated for two.

"Wow." AJ gasped. Punk appeared dressed sharply. He had on dark jeans and a plaid button down shirt. He looked so good with his beard growing in again.

"How was class?" Punk asked her.

"Boring. I would have skipped it if I had known what was waiting for me when I got home." She said dropping her bag and running and jumping into his arms. "I missed you today." She smiled before leaning in and kissing him as she wrapped her legs around his waist.

"This will come later." He said pulling away. "No falling asleep on me tonight. But I have dinner first." he said walking her over to the table while she was still wrapped around him and kissing his neck while he did so.

"Dessert first." She insisted.

"Believe me I want to but I went through a lot of trouble please stop making me hard." He begged trying to pry her off of his body. "You are freakishly strong." he said as she finally dropped from him body.

"Can I change first?" She asked as he pulled out her chair and he shook his head. "I want to look pretty for you."

"You always look pretty." he said pushing her chair in and then grabbing two dishes from the kitchen.

"Cheeseburgers and fries!" She cheered. Scenery was so romantic and the meal didn't match but it was absolutely AJ's favorite meal.

"Made those fries from scratch." He told her proudly as he sat across from her.

"They're so good." She moaned taking a bite out of one of them.

"I got you a present too." Punk said to her and her eyes lit up like a Christmas tree and she dropped her fry and held her hands out. "You are still a spoiled little thing aren't you?"

"A little." She smirked and he placed the box in her hand that she quickly opened. "Phil." She whispered looking at it.

"You like it?" He asked nervously.

"It's the most beautiful thing anyone has ever given me." She told him in awe of the thoughtful present. "I love it." She said and a tear slid down her cheek. He had only ever seen her cry twice before and both were related to David.

"You're crying." He frowned.

"Because I'm happy." She said taking the necklace out of the box. "Can you put it on for me?" She asked and he stood up and clasped it around her neck. "Why did you do this for me?"

"Because I love you." He said simply.

"You didn't have to get me anything let alone something to extravagant." She said to him touching the diamond ball.

"You deserve it and so much more." he said honestly.

"How could you afford this?" She asked him.

"I saved." He said simply. "I'm a patient man April." He reminded her.

"I wish I was as a patient as you." she said standing up.

"Eat first." He ordered pointing to her chair and she stood in front of him and began to strip her clothing leaving only the necklace on. "Alright I guess I'll eat." He said standing up and she reached up to kiss him but he turned his face. "I have a surprise in the bedroom." he said scooping her up and carrying her into the room.

"More candles." She grinned as he placed her in the middle of the bed. Then watched as he grabbed the handcuffs on the side table. "Those are mine."

"You never got to use them." Punk shrugged. "Do you trust me?" he asked her.

AJ responded by lifting her arms over her head and placing them by the headboard so he could use the handcuffs and licking her lips.

"Oh fuck." He groaned hand cuffing her.

AJ watched as he literally ripped his shirt open and kicked his shoes off.

"I'm waiting." AJ teased.

"I know baby." he moaned. "I had this planned out better in my head."

"I've dreamed of you doing this to me." She confided.

"You know what I want to do." He said kicking his jeans off finally then his boxers so they were on equally footing.

"Oh." She said to him. "I don't know-"

"It's so good though." He said spreading her legs apart and looking at her already wet sex.

"Your beard tickles me." She pointed out.

Every time Punk had tried to do go down on AJ she had stopped him. She was either giggling or told him she didn't like it but he knew she just wasn't confident in herself like that but he had to have her and this would be the only way.

"It's short now." He pointed out laying on his stomach and kissing over her pelvis. "Please?" He asked as he trailed his kisses. "Pretty please?"

"I trust you." She said to him.

"I promise you'll love this." He assured her.

Punk began by just licking her over and over again to just tease her. He heard a few giggles and she wiggled a bit but finally she was letting him go further. It didn't take long for AJ to realize how amazing this was. She spread her legs even further and he placed his entire mouth over her. AJ was looking down at him until he began to suck on her clit.

"Oh!" She gasped and tried to move but realized she was cuffed.

AJ was squirming but he was keeping her place. He was sucking on her clit and she was ready to literally cry in pleasure. She was now arching her hips up into his mouth as she her breathing became heavier.

"Oh my god." She moaned quietly.

"You like this?" Punk asked.

"Yes Phil." She whispered not daring to look down at him.

"Look at me." he ordered but she wouldn't. "Look at me." He repeated and she opened her eyes. "Watch me make you come like this."

"Phil." She moaned as his teeth gently applied pressure to her clit next then he smoothed it over with his tongue.

AJ came and she came hard against his mouth. When he picked his head up she could see his beard was wet but he had on a satisfied grin. He clearly enjoyed it as much as she did. Punk ran his fingers over her to wet them then began to stroke himself and AJ was licking her lips.

"I'm not uncuffing you." he warned her.

"I don't want you to." She said simply. "Let me."

Punk snatched the pillows propping he head up on the pillow and threw them onto the floor so she was laying flat on the bed with her arms extending to the bedpost. Punk crawled up her body and remained on his knees. AJ opened her mouth and he slid into her anxious mouth.

"You taste that? That's you." He told her gripping the top of the head board and dropping into her mouth. "Oh fuck AJ." he groaned.

He couldn't believe she was letting him do this but deep down wasn't too surprised, his sweet little AJ was a wild woman in the bedroom and normally down for anything except for the one thing she just let him do earlier (which was oddly common yet freaked her out).

"Can you take it all? Huh?" he asked using his hips to direct himself in and out of her mouth.

"Yes." She assured him lustfully. "I want you all."
Punk kept moving until he felt himself ready to come and when he did he stayed in her mouth and dropped as far as he could go without choking her letting her swallow him, which was also a first for her. He quickly pulled out of her mouth and she began to choke.

"You ok?" he asked.

"Yes." She said to him then licked her lips. "You're amazing."

"I was thinking the same thing about you." He said dropping next to her and trying to regain his breath.

"You can let me go now." She said to him and she heard him chuckle.

"You think I'm done with you yet?" He asked her seriously. "I'm only getting started."

"You need me to help you get hard again." She insisted.

"Looking at you is making me hard again, just thinking about what you let me to do just now is making me hard again." He said to her. "I told you that you'd like my tongue sucking on you like that."

"Can you do it again?" she asked him and he laughed. "You don't want to?"

"Baby I'd eat you up for every meal if I could." He said rolling onto her body now and kissing her neck as he moved up to her mouth. "I'll do it again and again right now if you'd like."

"I want you." She said using her strength to wrap her legs around his waist and managed to rub against him with her arms still extended.

"How are you not hurting?" He asked in disbelief.

"I'm flexible." She pointed out.

"So I've noticed." He said completely captivated by her. "I can roll you over and do that other thing you love. The only place you used to let my tongue go...oddly."

"No." She said shaking her head. "I want you inside of me Phil." She ordered.

"I'm the one in charge." He reminded her.

"You love me too much to not give me what I want." she informed him and she was right.

"I love you so much I hope you realize that." He almost pleaded.

"I know you do." She said to him.

"I'd do anything for you. You keep me sane." He said kissing her cheek now.

"I feel the same." She said genuinely.

"Do you? Do you realize how important you are to me?" He asked now looking into her eyes.

"Yes." She whispered.

Punk responded by shoving his tongue into her mouth and untangling her legs so he could enter her. Punk was in as far as he could go but didn't move, he just kissed her until the sensation to move became too much. Punk used short but hard thrusts with her as she again wrapped her legs around his waist. He knew he was hitting her g-spot perfectly with each push into her.

"That's it." AJ whispered not wanting to wake the neighbors since the walls were so thin. "God!" She screamed out as her orgasm hit her hard.

Punk pulled out of her and reached over to grab the key to the cuffs and released her. The minute she was free she was rolled onto her stomach laying flat and he entered her again and didn't stop until he joined her in complete bliss.

"That was the best." AJ said as her sweaty body laid across his.

"Yea? Better than the first time?" he asked and she nodded.

"I need a hot bath." she said unable to move. "My muscles hurt."

"I need one too. Not because my muscles hurt but because I want to share space and water with your naked body.

"We won't fit in my tub." She laughed.

"True." He said carefully moving her off of him.

"Where are you going?" She asked laying on her stomach but lifting her head as he pulled on his boxers.

"I'm going to run you a hot bath then I'm going to clean up the kitchen and blow out the candles before we set the building on fire. Then I'm going to rub your back until you fall asleep." he told her.

"I feel like its my birthday." She grinned. "I wish I came home sooner. We could have had nights like this years ago."

"You were worth the wait." He said kissing her lips one last time before heading off to start his tasks.
