Thirty-Five- Poking the Lioness

"Jojo, lay off" PJ groaned at the curly haired girl who was currently perched in his lap. She was hanging off his neck,

"But Jussssssy" she giggled "you're a champion now, you deserve to celebrate" she whispered as she trailed her finger across his chest, was this her attempt at seductive? He tried to keep from laughing, she kissed his cheek her hands trailing the top of his briefs, he pushed off.

"Whoaa relax there kid, our 'thing' was strictly scripted" he rolled his eyes, she pouted before standing. He sighed excited she had left but soon felt her arms wrap around him from behind,

"C'mon Justin" she whispered "let me treat you like the champion you are" she purred. He pulled away, laughing

"You really think I could go from a woman like Ruby to someone like YOU?" He laughed, "a girl like you isn't fit to lick her boots" she reached out to slap him but he caught her hand laughing. "Look at that, you can't even imitate her fire," she tried with her other hand but he caught that one as well. He shook his head as she looked up at him with those big brown eyes, the innocence of her fleeing childhood still remained, but he could tell that too soon it would be gone, he back her against the wall. She looked up at him confused "but that innocence...it's reminiscent of another...one like her" he whispered pressing his forehead to hers.

"What?" She asked confused, he let her go,

"Go" he ordered,

"But Justi-"

"Go!" He yelled, her eyes widened slightly before she ran out of the room. He sat on the bench throwing his head back in exasperation.

"Well Wolfie, I must say you impress me" he heard a voice from the door way say. He turned raising an eyebrow to find Ruby, standing they arms crossed her usual look of jaded disdain scattered on her pretty features.

"How much did you hear?"

"Nothing but the truth Wolfie, no one can compare to me. I'm one of a kind" she smirked before she strode over and planted herself on the floor in front of him. "And you better be glad it was I that found you and NOT my boys." He looked at her unfazed "why'd you do it?" She asked

"Do what?" He asked quietly

"Throw it all away! We could've been the greatest highlight of your career!" She growled

"There's more than one reason Ruby, pick one" he shrugged.

"The least you could give me is a damn explanation, just one" she hissed, he blinked at her

"I'm fucking tired of always being part of a stable, a group. For once in my goddamn life I'd like to be in control of my own life, my own career. I want to stand on my own and if comes to it fall on my own." He told her as he pulled on his clothes, he turned around as he considered the irony, "You taught me that remember?" He smirked slightly "right or wrong I'll stand on my own two feet" he turned to continue changing "so there you have it, the wolf has gone rouge, and I'll defend this title against anyone and everyone, even you if I have to" he heard her scoff

"And here I fully expected you to say it was because of HER", he turned to face her,

"Don't count her out. I did it for her too.", Ruby stood shooting daggers through her eyes,

"You threw it all away for her?!"

"Yes, see Ruthless, you think you've got it all figured out, you think you've got it all coldly calculated, but here's where you miscalculated, I love her more than I fear you" he smirked, throwing his title over his shoulder "see you around" he laughed before walking out of the room, as Ruby's venom filled eyes followed him before the door shut between them.
