The Diaz Brothers

Thats just not me. Chapter 13

"Yes sir?" "I got a call and you're gonna debut early. As in you have two weeks to be ready to weigh in. Then a day to be ready to fight." I wanted to scream with excitement. "Okay! Who am I fighting?" He hesitated. "Carmouch. Surely you know who I'm talking about." I laughed involuntarily. "I'm sorry, sir that's disrespectful. I shouldn't have done that... But I thought you said I had a fight." Ace who had been listening the whole time laughed and whispered that I didn't even need to train the next two weeks. "That's alright, dear. I understand that you don't fight girls usually but we have to pit you down so that you build your fan base. You have to have someone on your side." "I'll always have the right people on my side. They always yell the loudest. I happen to be engaged to one of them now." He congratulated me and I thanked him. "Anyways. Be ready. Good luck, McKinley." "Thank you, sir." I hung up and laughed while I called Mike. "Really? Her? My debut is going to be so simple." He smiled. "Yes I know. But we still have to train some. You've never fought a girl before." "I fought my dad." He laughed but his voice was grim. "He doesn't count. She will. There are rules." I nodded. "I know them. I just haven't had to follow them. Anyways, I'm not worried about this fight. So I think we're gonna get married in October." He laughed again.

"Sounds good. Staying here or going home?" "Definitely home. Tommy and Lily have the most beautiful barn in the wide world in the back of the property. I used to hide there. My wedding has been planned since I was seven I just have to have someone do all of the work for me. Lily's sister is a wedding planner so she might do it. Ace just has to call his aunt May. It's literally all done. Dress, hair, color theme, decoration, cake, everything. I just need someone to make it happen." I raised an eyebrow at Ace. He nodded and started to call his aunt. The binder it's all in was in the barn in the hay loft. I developed my love for lofts up there where I slept with a dog who lived in the barn when I hid there. He usually lived next door to me but he didn't mind keeping me company in the barn. "Impressive. And I'm guessing it's camouflage, white and Tennessee orange?" "Yep! Centerpieces are empty Jack bottles I've collected since I was ten. Invites are little one shot bottles of Jack. Honey and regular. Yes. I'm sending whiskey in the mail. I'll add a flower or something to yours for Jaylynn to have a special gift too. Or a dreamcatcher. I'm so excited about this. He's so perfect." The last sentence wasn't meant to be out loud but it was loud enough for Ace to walk into the room and kiss my cheek. "That's cool! You know, she wants to hang out with you. Pretty badly. She's been begging but you guys have been out of town." I looked at Ace who was telling his aunt where my binder is. "We're on our way." I walked to him and grabbed his arm, leading him to the car.

I grabbed my keys on the way and got in the truck when he opened the door for me. I had forgotten to let go of his arm at the passenger door. Mike had agreed and hung up the phone while Ace told his aunt we would order the invites ourselves. I just wanted her to help with the dress, coordinating, food and the stressful part so I can focus on fighting. "I can talk to her if I need to." Ace nodded and told her that. "Here she is." I got the phone. "Hello?" "Hey, the dress in this binder, you designed it right?" "Yes. The white goes around the waist and the orange goes in the flowers on the veil. I hadn't finished coloring it in." "Okay. Do you have your measurements?" I thought for a second. "Not at the moment. I can text message them to you later though. I still need to decide on the length for my boots." "Are they tall or short shafted?" "Tall. It's upper calf and they're my Tennessee Vols boots that I wore for senior prom. Remember, you took pictures for that?" She thought for a second. "Okay. Go mid thigh on your dress. Stay strapless, you're dark enough. Hair with the waterfall. If you end up not liking it the girl I use for dresses will redo it for free."

I agreed and we sat in Mike's driveway for twenty minutes while I was on the phone. I finally hung up and walked up to the door. Jay answered and Mike came to hug me. "While you're here we can review the rule differences." I agreed and Jaylynn jumped up on my back. "I know them I just never used them. I can demonstrate them." Mike nodded and Nick volunteered to be a girl for me. I laughed and then Mike listed out the rules as I showed what not to do. "It might be different without the chest shot." "We'll train you on these rules for two weeks. Are you excited?" I nodded and we went through what to do instead for a minute. Jaylynn was still on my back so I had to set her down for how I can get out of sub-holds. I let Nick put me in one of Rousey's arm bars. I got out of it easily and went for the knockout shot careful not to hit him for real. I didn't want Nick laying on the ground. He chose another one of her holds and I slid out of his arms easily. Ace laughed and stepped over to where I was about to swing a left. He grabbed my arm, straightened out my finger and slid off my ring. Nobody else had noticed it.
