Chapter 23

AJ'S POV
I was cut off by the sound of my phone ringing.

I smiled apologetically at Paige and went to check who it was.

Once I grabbed my phone and looked at the Caller ID, I saw Daniel's name.

Paige gave me a confused look, so I answered it and put it on speaker.

She smiled gratefully.

It was silent for a few seconds until Daniel broke it.

"Hello?" He said confused.

"Hey." I said, finally answering him.

"AJ! I thought you would've never answered." He said.

"Well I was thinking about it." I jokingly said.

He dramatically gasped. "Is that true AJ? I'm hurt." He said feigning pain.

I rolled my eyes. "Is there a reason you called Bryan?" I asked.

"Well, I was wondering if you could help me with a match?" He asked.

I was silently thinking about it, glancing at Paige to see her reaction, she quirked her eyebrow and mouthed.

'What are you gonna do?'

I mouthed back 'I don't know.'

While I was thinking, I was brung out of my thoughts by Daniel's voice.

"AJ? AJ, are you still there?" He asked worriedly.

"I understand if you don't want to, I mean- you don't have to, I won't force you." He said quickly.

"Relax, I'm still here I was just thinking and yeah I guess I could do that." I said, thinking of my decision on the spot.

"That's great! Thank you AJ, I owe you one." I could tell he was smiling.

"Yeah, yeah, don't get all mushy on me." I jokingly said.

"You know you love it when I get mushy on you, AJ." He said.

I stayed silent to see his reaction.

"Oh come on! Do you always go silent like that?" He asked.

"Nope, only for you." I said, laughing.

"Wow, I guess I really am special." He said.

"Anyways AJ, I gotta go so bye, talk to you later?" He asked.

"Yeah, I guess so, bye Daniel." I said, and then hung up.

Paige finally spoke up.

"April! Why'd you agree to do that?" She asked.

"Well, I was just helping a friend, what's wrong with that?" I asked, shrugging.

"Well, what's wrong is that you don't even know what kind of match it is!" She slightly yelled.

I rolled my eyes, slightly annoyed.
