Road Tripping

Two weeks later the gang was packing up for their road trip. They rented an SUV for the trip so they could all travel together even though AJ would have preferred Mike and Maria drive themselves but they insisted on all going together.

"He's so fussy." Kate pouted as she set DJ up in his car seat.

"Poor baby." AJ frowned trying to make faces at him to cheer him up.

"I think it's really nice that Pricella is letting us all stay in the house." Maria said as she loaded her three bags into the trunk.

"What the fuck do you need three bags for?" Punk asked trying to fit everything.

"This is a fancy party." Maria informed him. "I need to look my best. Aren't you going to at least shave?"

"He doesn't have to." AJ answered for him. "If they don't like his beard too bad."

"I wanted to shave, she told me no." Punk whispered to Jason who just laughed as he helped Punk load the trunk.

"When are we going to stop to eat?" Maria asked and Jason rolled his eyes.

"We ate already." Jason said to her.

"Well I didn't." Maria informed them. "And you know I get carsick on an empty stomach, remember Phil?"

"Get sick then." AJ shrugged simply.

"AJ packed some snacks you can eat that." Punk said to her and AJ glared at him. "What? I'm not driving in a car with her vomiting."

"I'll just run upstairs and see what you have in your place." Maria shrugged.

"No you can ear one snack." AJ said as Maria rolled her eyes and climbed into the truck. "Why did my mother invite them again?"

"Because even though she's a pain in the ass and a bitch, she helped you out." Punk reminded her in a whisper. "When it comes down to it we're all one big family."

"I guess." AJ mumbled.

"I know you're stressed out but you need to calm down. This is a party not a funeral." He reminded her.

"I know I'm fine." She laughed a little too forcefully. "It's just a lot of people are going to be there that I haven't seen or spoken to in a while."

"Are you ashamed of me or something?" Punk teased.

"You're the only thing about my life that I'm not ashamed of." AJ assured him kissing his lips. "And Larry."

"Larry is fine." Punk assured her. She hadn't wanted to leave Larry but he hated car rides and her parents would flip if she brought him. "He's staying with the guys in the shop and they're going to take him home every night."

"I know." She said folding her arms. "It's going to be a long trip." She warned him. "But the good thing is we're going to get a lot of money."

"What?" Punk asked.

"All of those rich people my parents are inviting are going to give us very thick envelopes." She informed him.

"No kidding." He grinned. "How thick?"

"My mom invited a hundred and twenty people, I think we'll be able to put it with what we have and move sooner then we think." she said to him.

"Or we can put towards a honeymoon." He suggested.

"I don't need anything special." She said to him and he slammed the trunk closed.

"AJ, you're going to get it all. Big wedding, nice honeymoon and a new place to live. Stop saying you don't need it because I want you to have it." he said to her.

"I know but I'd rather have an apartment. The honeymoon is just a week a better place to live is more practical." She said to him.

"You're going to get both." Punk said in almost warning voice.

Before AJ could respond the horn started.

"We need to hit the road!" Jason yelled.

AJ just got into the backseat next to DJ and Punk got into the passenger with Jason since they'd be switching off turns.

"Do I get a turn to drive?" AJ asked.

"No." Jason, Punk and Kate said at the same time.

"It's just, it's a rental." Jason said with a smile.

"I'm a good driver." AJ defended but the car was silent.

"Tell that to Jason's car." Maria mumbled from the row of seats behind her.

"What about my car?" Jason asked looking behind at AJ. "You crashed my car?" he asked frantically.

"No!" AJ yelled. "I dented the door and Punk fixed it. I opened the door too quick." She told him then looked back at
Maria. "You have such a big mouth." She hissed.

"Did Phil tell you that?" Maria smirked and AJ narrowed her eyes at her.

"Ladies." Mike warned. "This is going to be a long drive with you two bickering."

"Fine." AJ said turning around. Punk turned to look at AJ and she was just not happy. He wasn't sure they'd even survive the car ride.

Eight hours in they had already stopped for food earlier and were not staying in a motel. It was rainy, late and AJ was grumpier than before but thankfully all set of couples had their own room and AJ could unwind.

"Tired?" Punk asked locking the motel room door.

"No." She shrugged sitting on the bed. "Anxious to get this over with. But I am excited for everyone to see how happy I am."

"Good." Punk said taking off his jacket.

"The house is probably all decorated for Christmas." She noted. "My mom hires the best decorators."

"She doesn't do it herself?" Punk asked and AJ shook her head. "The best thing about Christmas was how me, Jason and David would string popcorn and set the tree up on Christmas eve."

"You're not religious though." AJ noted.

"So? It's Christmas. I want the gifts." He grinned.

"I'm getting you the best gift." She said to him eagerly.

"Don't tell me." He warned her. She always had the hardest time keeping secrets, especially presents.

"It's so good though!" She said jumping up onto her knees on the bed.

"Yea? Is it you naked with a bow on your belly laying in oil?" He asked seriously and she rolled his eyes.

"I already told you I don't like the oil." She reminded him and he smirked.

"Wait until Christmas." He urged walking over to her.

"Did you get me a present?" She asked tugging on his shirt and looking up at him.

"I got you the ring didn't I?" He asked and she pouted. "You're still spoiled." He laughed. "Of course I got you a present."

"Is it you? Naked? With a bow?" she asked.

"You get that every night." He reminded her.

"Tonight?" she asked waggling her eyebrows.

"I thought you'd be tired." He shrugged.

"I'm not." She smiled reaching up and pulling his face down to meet hers for a kiss.

Punk quickly AJ eased onto the bed and began to pull at her jeans while kissing her.

"Tell me you love me." AJ whispered against his lips.

"You need me to tell you something that I show you everyday?" He asked as he undressed the two of them, without having to remove AJ at all.

"I like when you say it. I like when you look into my eyes and tell me you love me." She whispered nipping at his lips. "No one has ever loved me like you do."

"And no one ever will." He remarked smugly.

"Say it." She smirked.

"I love you." he said with a straight face. "I'll always love you."

"You won't let my family scare you off?" She asked hopefully.

"No." He smirked. "And if they did scare me I'd take you with me."

"I love you, just in case you wanted to hear it." She teased as his fingers teased her folds to warm her up for him.

"It's nice to hear but your eyes speak louder than your voice." He said to her. "I see it in your face every time you look at me."

"I've never loved anyone before." She admitted. "You're my first love."

"And your last." He added as he now grabbed himself and slid into her warm and welcoming body.

"Yes." She moaned arching slightly as he fit into her body perfectly.

Punk moved in and out of her body while leaving kisses on her neck. Her favorite spot was right over her pulse point and he knew just the way to tease her. Nibble with his teeth and smooth over with his tongue, repeat.

"Harder." AJ requested. But Punk was enthralled with her body as not only his mouth nibbled at her but his hands roamed her body freely. He loved brushing his fingers under her knee when they were bent, and loved intertwining their hands. It was like he had a hold on part of her.

"Phil please." She moaned trying to move her hips faster but he was in full control, he always was.

AJ dug her nails into his shoulders as hard as he could which caused him to bite down hard on her neck in reflex.

"Fuck." Punk hissed sticking his head up.

"It's ok." she said quickly. "I'm so close-"

"AJ I fucking bit you." He said looking at her neck halting his movements.

"Please." She begged. "I'll cry if you don't finish me. Please, please, plea-" She stopped mid plea as he pushed back into her as hard as he could.

Her eyes were so smug and seductive as he looked down at her. It's like she had just won a battle. She always got what she wanted and he knew he'd have to get used to that. Everything was at the pace she wanted, the time she wanted and when she wanted and to be honest he didn't mind but it was an adjustment. Maria just let him take charge but AJ was an equal in this relationship, she had a say in everything including the way they had sex.

"Yes." She groaned happily arching her back and taking all of him. "Just like that." She encouraged gripping his hips.

"You are such a pain in the ass." He grunted and she just laughed and he pushed into her even harder and she gasped then grinned. "Don't laugh when we're having sex." he warned her.

"Keep doing that I'll laugh all of the time." She warned him and he just shook his head in disbelief.

"You are so fucking sexy even when I want to strangle you." He said to her and her eyes lit up. "No you psycho." he warned her.

This didn't go on for too long. They were moving to fast and were too anxious. The second AJ climaxed Punk followed and spilled into her body.

"That was so good." AJ grinned looking up at the ceiling. "Now I'm tired."

"Glad I could be of service." he remarked as she sat up and unzipped his bag looking for clothes to sleep in. "That's my bag."

"Yea I need something to sleep in." She said pulling out his t-shirt and boxers and slipping both items on. "What? We're going to be married. What's yours is mine."

"I'd prefer if you slept in nothing." He noted.

"Not in some creepy motel." she cringed. "When we're in Jersey I'll sleep in one of those silk nighties you are so fond of."

"Yea?" Punk grinned. "Eh, I don't know your parents will be home."

"In another wing of the house." AJ snorted. "They won't hear us."

"Have you heard how loud you are?" Punk asked seriously. "The neighbors banging our bedroom wall doesn't tip you off."
"You're loud." AJ replied defensively.

"I am." He agreed. "But you can't even hear me over you. Not only are you loud during sex but when you sleep your snoring is so loud that Larry leaves the room."

"It's not that bad." she frowned.

"I sleep with earplugs for a reason." He pointed out honestly.

"Are you trying to make me feel bad?" She asked crawling back onto the bed and leaning over him.

"Not at all. All I'm saying is that your volume is always at max." He smirked then pushed her long hair behind her back and looked at her neck. "I gave you a fucking hickey." he said worried.

"Cool. I've never gotten one before." She said touching the spot.

"That's not cool when you have a big party tomorrow." He said to her shaking his head. "I'm sorry."

"I'll keep my hair down." She shrugged. "I'm proud of my hickey."

"Never got a hickey?" He asked and she shook her head.

"I want more." She said to him as she laid next to him and kissed his cheek.

"You're a little old for people to be spotting hickeys on your neck." he teased.

"So, put them in spots where people can't see." She suggested cutely and he growled. "I can think of a spot right now." She said leaning into him and his hand cupped her still tender lips over the boxers she was wearing.

"Me too." he said gently massaging her.

"I was thinking my breasts but that feels good too." She admitted.

"Yea?" he asked teasing her over the clothing and she nodded.

Loud banging at the door caused Punk to jerk his hand away.

"You were probably too loud." Punk said to AJ as he slipped on a pair of sweats before opening the door and in walked Maria and Mike with their bags.

"Our room has no heat and it's too cold." Maria said to Punk.

"They don't have another room to spare." Mike told Punk as well and AJ's face fell.

"The SUV is pretty comfortable." AJ suggested and Punk laughed to himself.

"Nice AJ. We're here for you." Maria reminded her.

"We only have one bed." AJ shrugged. "Not really a lot of space."

"I don't like this anymore then you do." Maria said dropping her bag and looking at the bed. "Did you two just have sex?" She asked disgusted.

"If I say yes does that mean you won't sleep in the bed?" AJ asked.

"I'll just sleep under the covers." Maria said jerking the sheets almost causing AJ to fall off the bed.

"Phil." AJ said looking at him as if he would kick them out in the cold. He just shrugged.

"How do you want to do this?" Mike asked walking over to the bed. "You want me in the middle? Even though AJ is the smallest and she should probably be in the middle." he noted and Punk slapped him upside his head.

"Get on the fucking floor." Punk said to him and Mike rolled his eyes.

"I knew you'd stick me on the floor." Mike muttered.

"Where are you going to sleep? Don't leave me with them." AJ said desperately to Punk.

"I'll take the chair." Punk said to her.

"No you're too big." AJ said to him. "I'll take the chair." She offered.

"You want him sleeping next to me? Not that it would be unfamiliar." Maria teased.

"I trust my fiance completely." AJ informed her. "Besides he'd sleep above covers with a pillow wall between you two."

"I'll take the chair it's fine." Punk said to her and Mike looked at Maria.

"What?" Maria asked.

"It's just awfully sweet of AJ to offer her spot on the bed to Punk." Mike noted grabbing a pillow and blanket.

"Yea well it was awfully sweet of Punk to put a ring on her finger too." Maria remarked sarcastically. "Stay on your side." she told AJ.

"It's my bed. Both sides are my side." AJ shot back.

"Please don't tell me you're going to argue all night." Mike groaned.

"And try not to snore. We can hear you across the hall." Maria said rolling over so her back was to AJ and her face dropped in shock, AJ looked at Punk to defend her but he quickly looked away unable to.

By morning Punk hadn't slept a wink since Maria kicked AJ so many times in her sleep she had to leave the bed. She sat and slept on Punk while he couldn't sleep due to not even being able to get comfortable. Now he had to drive for eight more hours and was not in a good mood.

"You guys all look like shit." Jason laughed as they met up at the SUV in the morning. "I have a baby and I look like better rested."

"DJ slept through out the whole night." Kate said proudly buckling him into his car seat.

"I slept great." Maria shrugged getting into the car.

"I did too." AJ agreed getting in next to Kate and the baby.

"I'll drive first." Jason offered taking the keys from Punk with a laugh. "So you slept with Maria and AJ last night?" he teased.

"Yea it wasn't as sexy as I thought it would be." Punk remarked sarcastically getting into the passenger seat.

A/N: Thanks for your reviews! This chapter was a fun one because I think we could all use a laugh once in a while. Don't worry though, drama straight ahead. Party is next :)
