Hey guys! I just wanted to say, before this chapter starts, thanks SO MUCH for all of the reviews! This is amazing that all of you guys are feeling this story, considering the fact that I was getting ready to discontinue it a while ago. Now, I'm DETERMINED to complete it! I was thinking that the story would end at Chapter 20, and maybe a sequel (maybe? Let me know if you guys would be interested in a sequel), because I'm gonna be a devil and leave the story off with a cliffhanger. *evil laughter* Haha but seriously, thanks for the reviews guyss! You guys thought the story was good before, you have no idea what's about to happen in these last nine chapters ;) enjoy!


Chapter Eleven

Fast Forward, 4 Months Later

It was February, and Kaisel and Punk had been a couple for a little over four months now. It's felt the same to them as when they were just friends, except of the occasional kisses and make-out sessions. Everyone else pretty much approved of their relationship, saying that it was only a matter of time. Granted, there were a couple of people who didn't approve of it, but they didn't care.

While Punk was still on the road with Raw (they were in Arizona this week), Kaisel had requested the weekend off so that she could go back to New York City, for her older brother's wedding. It felt weird to him at first, because he was so used to seeing her face everyday, and was starting to miss her. But that's where the beauty of FaceTime came in. They both had iPhones, so she was able to video call him when she landed in the city. He felt a little better when they hung up from each other, but part of him still missed his baby.

"Soo my cousins birthday is coming up."Candice had said to him, later on that day. "I know you're doing something for her."

"Yeah, I am. I just don't know what yet." He said.

"Well you better come up with something quick, bro." John said. "Her birthday is next Friday."

"Why don't you take her out to dinner?" Kofi asked.

"Nah, we always go out to eat. It needs to be something more memorable." Punk said, shaking his head.

"Wait...aren't we going to be in New York City next week?" Mickie asked.

"Yeah."

"We don't you take her to her favorite place out there?" Mickie said.

"...Or better yet, I could throw her a surprise party at her favorite place." Punk said.

"That sounds like a good idea. I like that." Kofi said.

"Yeah, it does. Wow Phil, you're not as dumb I as thought you were." John joked.

"Thanks...wait." Punk said, realizing what he said, causing everyone to laugh. "Whatever, man!"

"We gotta find out where her favorite place is though." Mickie said,

"Easy. The Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square." Candice said.

Everyone looked at her with raised eyebrows, and she shrugged. "What? You guys can ask her. That's her favorite place to go to in the whole city, besides Coney Island."

"Are you sure, Candice?" Punk said.

"Positive." Candice said.

"Okay, so I gotta call that place up and ask if they got a free room that night...they should, right?" Punk said.

"Yeah, they should." John said. "If not, you can easily just tell them your CM Punk. They'll definitely free up a room for you."

"Okay. Damn I got a lot of work to do." Punk said, standing up. "I'm gonna go and start making calls. Tell everybody else on the roster that I'm throwing a party for Kai next week."

"Okay." They all said.

"Remember, it's a surprise party. Do NOT mention it to her. At all." Punk said. "You too Candice, don't say shit to her about it."

"Alright alright, I wont." Candice said, holding her hands up in mock surrender.


"Remember Kai, this is Rachel's parents, so please be respectful."

"Miggy, when am I not respectful?"

Miguel Evans Jr., looked at his younger sister, and she laughed.

"Okay, okay. I promise I'll be nice." Kaisel assured him.

"Okay. Let's go."

Kaisel was back in her hometown, New York City for the weekend for her oldest brother's wedding (she had two older brothers, Miguel was the oldest, Frankie was the middle child, and she was the baby). Even though she would be back in the city the following week (aka her birthday week) with the WWE, she had asked to take time off so that she could be there for her brother. Now she was in Manhattan, going with her brother to have dinner with his fiance Rachel, and her was sort of skeptical about going with him at first, because he had warned her about how Rachel's parent's felt about "foreigners", even though they had been living in Brooklyn their whole lives. But she decided to put her feelings to the side and just go with him, because that's what you do for family.

They walked into the Lower East Side, Manhattan restaurant and Miguel told the waiter his name, the waiter showing them where their table was. As they got closer, she had seen a woman sitting with an older couple. Kaisel assumed that it was Rachel and her parents.

"Miggy!" Rachel said, standing up. "Hi babe!"

"Hey sweetie." Miguel said, giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Marin."

"Hello Miguel." Mrs. Marin said, putting on a fake smile.

Mr. Marin said nothing, and Kaisel wanted to roll her eyes so bad, but she didn't. Rachel had opened her arms and gave Kaisel a hug too. "You must be Kaisel. God, you're gorgeous!"

"Uh, thanks." Kaisel said, hugging her back. "You are too."

After they all sat down and ordered their food, an awkward silence fell across them. Rachel's mom decided to break the silence by talking to Miguel.

"Soo, Miguel, how have you been?" She asked.

"Um, I've been good Mrs. Marin. Just waiting for the wedding tomorrow, that's all." Miguel said. "What about yourself?"

"I've been...pretty good too." Mrs. Marin said. "So, this is your sister?"

"Yes, uh Kaisel, this is Rachel's mom and dad. Guys, this is my baby sister Kaisel." Miguel said.

"Nice to meet both of you." Kaisel said politely.

"Likewise, honey." Mrs. Marin said.

Again, Mr. Marin said nothing. Kaisel couldn't tell if he was giving her and Miguel a nasty look, or if he just had a permanent scowl on his face.

"Miguel, can I asked you something?" Mr. Marin suddenly said.

"Sure, sir." Miguel said.

"Rachel's told us that you've been married before. Is this true?"

"Uh, yes I have, but that was when I was 20. I haven't seen my ex-wife in over a decade."

"Right. So are you going to do the same thing to Rachel, as you did to your 'ex wife'?" Mr. Marin said.

"Dad-" Rachel started.

"No, Rachel. I wanna know now." Mr. Marin said.

"Honey, I don't think that is-"

"Eleanor, hush." Mr. Marin said, cutting his wife off. "Let him speak."

Miguel and Kaisel were shocked at Mr. Marin's outburst, but Kaisel really wasn't all of that surprised. She could tell this man had a problem with her brother from the minute they walked in the restaurant.

"Um, no I'm not, sir. In my last marriage, we were young, and dumb. We realized that it wasn't going to work, so it was a mutual break-up. I definitely don't plan on leaving your daughter, at all. I love her with all of my heart, and it'll be like that until my heart stops breathing."

"Aw, baby." Rachel crooned.

Usually Kaisel would make fun of her brother whenever he decided to be all soppy and lovey-dovey, but she couldn't. Even she thought that was sweet, and it definitely reminded her of her and Punk. Ugh, I miss my baby now...she thought in her head. The L word was never spoken between the two of them, because she was scared to say it to him. But hearing Miguel say that about Rachel definitely made her think about saying it to him, pretty soon.

"Okay, sure." Mr. Marin said, unconvinced.

The food had finally came and everyone began eating, and Rachel decided to change up the tense mood by talking to Kaisel.

"So, Kaisel, I heard you work with the WWE?" She asked.

"I do." Kaisel confirmed.

"Really? How is it? Do you get to see the Superstars everyday?" Rachel asked.

"She does...she actually goes out with one of them." Miguel said.

Rachel's eyes widened with amazement. "Wow, really! That's cool! Who is it?"

"C-" Miguel started, but Kaisel hit his leg under the table, and he switched it up. "See um, I'm not sure, she hasn't even told me yet."

"Yeah, I think it should be just our business for now." Kaisel smiled.

"I understand you, girl. But that's still pretty cool!" Rachel said excitedly.

Kaisel giggled at how Rachel sounded like a giddy school girl, but Mr. Marin's demeaning attitude made her stop.

"You work with the WWE? I wonder how you got that job." Mr. Marin said lowly.

"Excuse me?" Kaisel asked. She knew damn well what he had said, she just wanted him to repeat it again.

"Kaisel-" Miguel started.

"No no son, it's okay. I'll say it again." Mr. Marin said. "I said, I wonder how you got that job? Did you have to sleep with the boss, like most of the Divas there?"

"DAD!" Rachel said, enraged.

"James, that is enough!" Mrs. Marin said.

Kaisel was still in shock from what he had said, and wasn't able to talk for about a minute. When she finally came to, she went to say something, but Miguel stopped her.

"Look, Mr. Marin. I really don't appreciate you talking about my sister like that." Miguel said, getting more and more upset. "It's very rude, and disrespectful."

"Disrespectful how? It's the truth isn't it. How does your kind get high paying jobs like that anyway?" Mr. Marin sneered.

"Dad, ENOUGH!" Rachel said. "You're getting out of hand. Why the hell would you say something like that?!"

"My kind? What's 'my kind'?" Kaisel said, finally finding her voice. "I'm a human being just like you, so I don't understand. But let me answer your question, 'sir'. I got that high paying job by going to school for six years. I worked my ass off, and I'm still working my ass off today, doing something that I love. That's how I did it. I didn't 'sleep' with anybody, I worked my ass off. I am a well-deserving, 100 percent Brazilian from Brooklyn. And I'll be damned if I'mma sit here, and let some overly prude, snobby, racist asshole tell me otherwise!"

Kaisel suddenly got up and stormed away to the bathroom. She almost bumped into one of the waiters, but she apologized quickly and continued walking. When she got into the bathroom, she was so angry that her skin felt hot, and she was shaking. She hated feeling like this, because it was usually how she felt before she began fighting. Kaisel focused on her breathing, something she had learned while she was doing MMA training. She learned the breathing slower would calm her anger, and eventually make her feel better and concentrate more. Once she was breathing evenly again, she sighed and leaned back against the sink. The bathroom door opened again and Rachel walked inside.

"Hey." She said.

"Hey..." Kaisel said lowly.

Rachel walked up to her and gave her another hug, this time softer.

"I'm sorry, Kaisel. My father had no reason to come at you like that, or your brother. I want you to know that I am nothing like him. I love your brother with all of my heart, race means nothing to me. I love Miguel, and I love you too."

"Thanks, Rachel." Kaisel sighed, and nodded. "I didn't mean to go off like that, really I didn't. I just don't appreciate someone calling me something I'm not."

"I understand. Well, my parents are gone. My mom gave my dad a tongue lashing, and they left, but not before he apologized to Miguel. He's gonna apologize to you tomorrow, too...if you're still coming to the wedding." Rachel said.

"Ha, I'll still be there. We're family now, Rachel, which means I got your back." Kaisel said.

"Okay, thank you!"

They hugged again and made their way out of the bathroom. Miguel was waiting by the front door, and Rachel ran up to him grabbing his hands.

"You ready for tomorrow babe? No cold feet or anything?" She joked.

"Ha, no." Miguel chuckled. "No cold feet, I'm ready. You just go back home and get some beauty rest...not that you need any."

They began laughing and kissing each other, and Kaisel playfully rolled her eyes. Damn, I wish they would stop that! It's bad enough I can't do that again until Monday, and now Miggy wants to throw it in my face? She thought. Rachel had given Miguel one more kiss before, and Kaisel and Miguel left not too shortly afterward.

While Miguel was driving Kaisel back to her apartment, she decided to bring up what she thought about earlier.

"Miggy...how'd you tell Rachel that you loved her, for the first time?" She suddenly said.

Miguel looked at her confused, but still answered her. "Uh, I can't really remember...I think it was on one of our anniversaries. I just came out and said it. Why?"

"I dunno...I'm ready to just straight up tell Phil that I love him...cause I do.." She trailed off.

"Kai, you haven't told him yet? Has he told you?" Miguel asked.

"No, I think he's waiting for me to say it." Kaisel said.

"So what's keeping you from saying it?"

"I'm scared."

"Scared of what?"

"I dunno, being hurt again? The last person I fell in love with..." She didn't even want to complete that sentence. "I just don't wanna be hurt again. I feel like if I say the L word, it'll mess up our relationship somehow."

"Don't say that, sis. If anything, letting your other half know that you love them makes the relationship ten times better. You should tell him, Kaisel. Pretty soon, too."

Kaisel was quiet, and had spent the rest of the ride in deep thought. She was definitely gonna tell him soon...she just didn't know when.

When she got back to her apartment, she took a shower and changed into her pj's, which just consisted of one of Frankie's old t-shirt that she had for years. Frankie's been the same weight for about 5 years, which is around 250 pounds, so the shirt was huge on her. She slipped on her socks and sat down on her couch, just as her phone began ringing. It was Phil, and he was FaceTime-ing her. She answered the call and saw his face pop up on the screen, instantly making her night better.

"I was justt thinking about you." She said.

"Oh really? When are you not?" He joked.

"That's funny. You're hilarious." She said sarcastically.

"You said it, not me." He laughed. "But seriously, how was the dinner babe?"

"Very interesting." She said. "I um, kinda turned into crazy Kaisel there."

"What? Kaisel you told me you wouldn't."

"I didn't want tooooo" She prolonged the last word. "But Rachel's parents are very outspoken. Well I should just say her father."

"What'd he say?"

"Something about 'my kind', the fact that me and Miggy are Brazilian Portuguese."

"That's dumb. Who says shit like that?" Punk laughed.

"I'm glad you think this is funny, Phil." Kaisel said shaking her head.

Punk stopped laughing and rolled his eyes. "Alright Kaisel, I'm sorry. But I know that wasn't the only thing that made you upset. It takes a lot for you to get mad."

"You're right, it does. He asked if I slept with Vince in order to get my job. I dunno why, but that ticked me off."

"What?" Punk said, in disbelief. "You serious?"

"As a heart attack, baby."

"That's fucked up...and kinda disgusting. Who the hell would wanna sleep with Vince?"

Kaisel laughed and shook her head, "That's not nice, stop it."

"I'm sorry, I really don't like my boss."

"I can definitely tell."

The continued talking and joking around for another hour, until Kaisel reluctantly told him that she had to get some sleep. She had to get up early the next morning to get ready for the wedding, since she was in the bridal party.

"It's okay babe, I'll text you in the morning. Make sure you take a lot of pics, I wanna see how this damn wedding looks." Punk said.

"Okay, I definitely will. Talk to you tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay."

I'm just gonna tell him, right now. Phil, I love you! Yeah, that sounds good, she thought.

"Phil-" She started.

"Yes?"

"Uh-" Kaisel choked. "Um, don't miss me too much."

"Ha, I'll try not to baby. It might be hard though. Good night."

"Good night..."

Kaisel hung up the phone and threw it down on her couch. She picked up one of the couches pillows and hit herself with it.

"Kaisel, what the hell was that?" She asked herself, putting her face in the pillow. "Ughhh!" She screamed.
