Chapter 10

Meanwhile, Kelly kept on riding Punk, grabbing onto his shoulders while her eyes rolled back, but felt that something wasn't right. She whipped around, but nobody was at the door.

"Kel? What's wrong?" he asked.

"I..nothing. I just thought I heard something." she shook it off, turning back to Punk. "Now, where were we?" she asked, before Punk laid her down before positioning himself over her.

Soon after their lovemaking was finished, Kelly lied in Punk's arms while he held her tightly.

"You gotta admit that was pretty amazing for our last time, huh?" he asked.

She chuckled. "It was. But Punk, did it seem like somebody was watching us the whole time?" she asked, looking up at him.

"No. All I saw was you." he replied.

"Hmm. Guess I'm just imagining things. So, um, are you sure you don't want my number after you leave?" she asked. "It'd still be nice to keep in contact with you."

"I told you, Kel, in order for this affair to be over and done with, we have to cut off all contact with one another." he replied.

"Even just as friends?" she pleaded.

"Even just as friends." he replied. "I hate it, too. But it's for the best."

"Well, either way, there's always a place in my heart for you, CM." she said, lacing her fingers with his.

"And there's always a place for you in mine, Kels." he replied, kissing her hand. "Well, I better let you get back to Jeff."

While they put their clothes back on, she asked, "CM, if you refuse to keep in contact with me, then please, just remember me, ok? Because I'll never forget you."

"Of course I'll remember you." he replied.

"I mean it. But don't let me stop you from finding someone else out there. Y'know, someone who'll love you, someone who you can settle down with, ok?" she continued.

"Kels, you don't have to worry about me, really. Just hear me out here. Promise me that you and Jeff'll get married with no problem, you'll live a nice happy life together, and just take care of each other. I know it sounds corny, but do it for me." he replied, meeting her gaze with his.

A tear ran down her face. "I will. I love you, CM." she said sincerely, before sharing one last kiss with him.

"I love you too, Kelly." he replied, combing back a strand of her hair.

They stood in each other's embrace for a few more seconds, until she sighed and headed off, leaving him heartbroken, too.

Meanwhile, a distraught Jeff mindlessly arrived back to his and Kelly's hotel room, wandering around the place. He chuckled to himself for a second before throwing himself on the bed. "Heh. So this is how it's gonna be, Kel? All right. I'll fix you. I'll fix you and that son of a bitch you were banging." he said scornfully, turning on the TV, hatching up a plan to call out Kelly and Punk at the same time. Soon after that, Kelly arrived back to the room to join him. "Hey, sweetie!" she exclaimed. He put on a fake smile and replied, "Hey, Kel. How was things with Mickie?"

"Mickie? Oh! Right, we just had some girl-on-girl talk. So, did you head anywhere?" she asked.

"Just took a little walk outside, and uh, I got you a surprise." he replied.

"Really? Sweetie, we're getting married in a couple of weeks, you've given me everything that you could possibly give me, what else could there be?" she asked.

"Just this." he replied, handing her a small black box.

She smiled at him before opening it to find a beautiful aquamarine colored heart necklace. "Oh..Jeffro! It's beautiful!" she gasped happily. "Sweetie, thank you so much!"

"It's no problem." he replied, giving her a kiss. "Here, let me put it on ya." After he did, the two looked at her in the mirror. "There's my beautiful fiancee."

Tears formed in her eyes. "You are truly amazing, Jeffro." she replied. "God, I can't wait till we get married."

"Me neither, Kel, me neither." he mustered a smile. "Hey, tomorrow at around 12, I want you to go wait for me at the next arena we'll be in. Say, my locker room, maybe."

"Uh, why? What's going on?" she asked, confused.

"It's another part of my surprise for you." he replied.

"But-"

"Baby, don't question it, just be there, ok? Believe me, it'll be a day that you'll never forget." he replied, kissing her. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a few errands to run and I'll be back to join you, ok?"

"For the surprise? Sure! Come back soon, babe." she replied, still a little confused.

A while later, Punk was at the airport waiting for his flight, where Jeff managed to find him...

"Hey, Punk?" he called.

Surprised to see him, he whipped around and replied, "Jeff? What are you doing here?"

"I uh, heard that you're leaving."

"Yeah."

"How come? I mean, you have a great career, great friends, why would you want to leave all that behind?" he asked.

"It's complicated, and I thought you were pissed at me." he said, raising an eyebrow.

"Why would I be pissed?" he smirked.

"Well, uh, I said that I loved Kelly and you clocked me in the face and threatened for me to stay away from her, that ring a bell?" he asked.

"Oh, right, you tried to steal my fiancee away from me." he nodded.

"Look, dude, my flight's gonna be here any minute, what's going on?" Punk demanded.

"I came here to ask you to stay." replied Jeff.

"...What?" he asked, shocked.

"Yeah, I talked to officials into getting you back your contract, so you still have a job with the rest of us." he continued.

"I-I don't get it. Is this some kind of prank you're pulling on me?" he asked.

"No, I'm serious, man, you really should stay here. In fact, I want you to stay so that we could make a compromise and hopefully become friends again." he replied. "Is that cool with you?"

Still confused, he slowly nodded. "Sure."

"Awesome. Now, c'mon, let's get a refund for that plane ticket and we can head back to the hotel." Jeff finished, leading him away.
