Finally settling into her hotel bed, Calah was just starting to relax after a long day of walking around. She had spent the afternoon with Seth, the man with the two toned hair giving her insight on the industry and introducing her to the talent and then the people she'd mostly be working with. Being there for the short six hours, she realized how humble everyone who worked there were, how much of a family they were. They made her feel welcomed and she hadn't even started her job yet. With each growing minute that she was there, she was glad she took the job.
She was grateful that she hadn't actually started yet, because it gave her the time to figure out how the damn camera even works. She'd never touched anything but a disposable camera before and she was more than positive she couldn't use one of those in this line of work. With a sigh, she reached over the bed and pulled up the bag that her camera was packed in, unzipping the black case to pull out the Nikon camera. Holding the heavy thing in her hands, she stared at it, her arms stretched out in front of her.
"Well..looks like we'll be best friends for a few months..or weeks. I haven't decided yet." She mumbled to the inanimate object. Her head turned though as she heard several knocks on her door.
Placing the dark camera on the bed, she got up, slipping on her flip flops to cross the carpeted floor and check the door. Closing one eye, she looked through the peep hole to see the two toned man outside her door. An eyebrow raised before she opened he door, smiling softly. "Hey, Seth." She greeted, resting against the door gently.
"Hey. I know you've seen me all day, but a few of the guys and girls are going out to explore the town; do a little sightseeing." He told her. "You should come with us." He more or less stated. It wasn't really a question.
"Uh, yeah, sure. Just give me a minute to get changed." She said, looking down to her attire. She was already dressed for bed. She hadn't expected to be invited out with her co-workers, that shit never happened.
Seth stared at her awkwardly as if waiting for an invite it. The two sat in an awkward silence for a good twenty seconds before Calah cleared her throat, "You, uh..you wanna come in then?" She asked in which Seth nodded for his response. She opened the door further to let him in, Seth stepping in. She closed the door after him and turned, blinking a few times before going over to one of her bags, pulling out a simple t-shirt and jeans for the night. She then looked back to Seth who was sitting on the bed, going through his phone. "Right..I'll go change in the bathroom." She mumbled.
To say she was a little creeped out would be completely accurate. She shuffled to the bathroom and changed out of the sleepwear she was comfortable in and into the t-shirt and jeans. She tossed her hair into a bun, staring at her reflection in the mirror for a few seconds before she walked out, Seth still on her bed. She slid on a pair of moccassin's before she looked to the wrestler. "Ready." She announced, Seth tearing his gaze away from his phone and looking up to her. A soft smile grazed his lips and Calah couldn't deny that her heart melted at the sincerity of the smile.
"Let's go then." He said, standing to his feet and smoothing out his jeans, walking towards her door and opening it for her, his free hand guiding her towards it.
She laughed to herself, "Thanks." She nodded, walking out of her hotel room and down the hallway with Seth. The two took the elevator down to the lobby where their co-workers waited. Taking a first look into the lobby, she saw two familiar men that she was introduced to; Roman and Dean. Then, there were two girls, a blonde haired man and a tall..really big man.
Leading her towards them, Seth introduced her. "Guys, this is Calah. She'll be working with the camera crew. Calah.." He started, pointing to a short brunette, "This is AJ." He started, then moving onto the taller girl with two toned hair, blonde on top, black on the bottom, "My twin Kaitlyn." He grinned, pointing to the other blonde, "Dolph and his bodyguard thing, Big E." He teased.
"Hi, it's nice to meet you all." Calah lifted her hand in greeting, smiling to the new faces. They all returned the friendly gesture before leaving the hotel lobby to venture off into the growing sunset, eager to explore the beautiful city of Philadelphia. It was definitely a beautiful night to be out, not too humid or hot, not many people walking the streets and the sunset was gorgeous.
"So where are we going?" She asked Seth, squinting up to him.
"Dean and Langston wanted to check out the historic area. I hope you don't mind." He told her, looking down towards her.
"No, I actually love history." She assured him. If she could, she would've found something to do with history, but being a teacher was out of question and so was digging up old dinosaur bones.
"Good. They have the first American flag there, the Articles of Confederation; it'll be pretty cool."
"Well, thanks for inviting me." She smiled, looking straight ahead.
"Anytime!" He threw an arm around her shoulder, a grin taking over his lips, "Gotta welcome the newbie." He teased her.
Calah laughed, shaking her head as the eight of them walked down the sidewalk in pairs, Seth and her behind everyone.
"So, what made you join WWE?" He asked her, curious as to why she'd want to photograph a bunch of sweaty men and women.
"Honestly, I saw an add on craigslist and I figured I should take the opportunity. I knew nothing about the business until I went to my interview." She confessed, laughing quietly.
"Really? And you didn't run off when you had the chance?" He joked.
"Nope. I found it interesting." She nodded.
"See..the thing about our business is either people love it, or they hate it."
"Well, I guess I'll find out which one of those people I am." She teased him, sending a wink his way.
He just smirked in response, glancing up to the sunset, keeping his arm over her shoulder, as if they had known each other for years. Calah didn't say a thing about it though, she didn't mind. Though, she broke away from him as a gasp broke past her lips, stopping right in front of a pet store. Seth raised an eyebrow, following her to the window.
"I want one!" She shouted, pointing to the kitten.
"You do know there aren't pets allowed on tour, right?" He chuckled, "Most of the hotels frown upon it."
"But it's a kitten..it can't make much noise!" She crouched down, her fingers tapping on the glass seperating her from the cute pet.
"Calah.." Seth sighed, looking towards his right to see the rest of the group moving on without them. "Are you really going to get this?" He asked her.
Her eyes turned up to his, the widest smile on her lips. "I can hide him, right? And he'll be quiet and small so I can put him in my bag when we go into hotels!" She reasoned.
"Yeah, and what about planes?" He pointed out, crouching down beside her, watching as the kitten curled up the corner of the glass, near her fingers.
"You can travel with pets! I just need to get all the things to carry him with." She explained, glancing back to the black kitten. "Come on, Seth. Help me sneak the cat in." She pleaded.
"Alright, fine." He mumbled, standing back up.
"Yes! Thank you!" She stood back up herself, hugging him around his torso tightly for a few seconds before she walked inside to the pet shop, pointing to the black kitten in the window. "I want him." She declared to the clerk. "How much is he?"
"He's 300. He's had all shots and is already nutured." The clerk smiled, walking towards the window. "He's a real cuddler." She laughed.
Calah smiled, "Perfect." She glanced over towards Seth, seeing the hesitant look on his face an she couldn't help but laugh. "Come on, Seth! It'll be fine. I'll even share him with you if you want; for helping me sneak him in."
"You better." He smiled half-heartedly, walking towards her to glance down at the small kitten. It was adorable, and if they could pull this off, which it shouldn't be too hard, he'd be excited to have a kitten. He just wasn't sure if his dog would appreciate it.
"You're sure you want him?" The clerk asked, Calah nodding quickly in response.
Getting everything they'd need together, the total came out to $450. $300 went towards the cat, the rest went towards toys, food, a crate, collar, etc. Pulling out her wallet, she pulled out a few hundreds, but Seth had already slipped $225 to the cashier. Calah looked towards him with a raised eyebrow, sliding the cash back to him.
"Hey, he's half mine, you said so yourself, so I'm paying for half." He grinned, Calah smiling that he had finally calmed down.
"Fine, but you really don't have to." She slid the remaining amount toward the cashier and smile down to the kitten, picking him up in her hands.
Seth grabbed the remaining backs, "I wanted to." He told her, "Now, we have to go back to the hotel now, before everyone else comes back." He added.
"Okay." She murmured, holding the kitten in her hands as the two walked out of the pet shop, glancing around as if they had just stolen guns or something.
They quickly made their way back to the hotel, standing a few doors away from it, looking between each other.
"Put him under your shirt." Seth told her, pointing to her t-shirt.
"Won't that look a little obvious?" She raised an eyebrow, blinking at him.
"Well, I don't know! Where else are we gonna put him?! You didn't bring a bag today!" He shouted through whispers.
Calah laughed and shook her head, "Relax, we'll get Spirit in."
"Spirit?! We're not naming him Spirit." Seth grumbled.
"Why not?! It's another word for sneaking, and it's perfect." She interjected.
"No, we'll name him Jack. Like hijack..cause we're hijacking him places." Seth proudly stated.
"That's such a boring na-" She stopped herself as she looked down to the kitten in her hands, curled up against her. "Okay, fine. We'll name him Jack..but his middle name is Spirit." She told him. She then looked him up and down before she walked behind him. "Why didn't I think of this before?" She muttered to herself, pushing his locks to the side and stuffing the kitten inside his hoodie, fixing his hair to neatly cover him.
"Okay, go!" She told him, walking beside him into the hotel, glancing around the front lobby until they got to the elevator.
"I can't believe I let you talk me into this." He mumbled, shaking his head, though he had a smile on his lips.
"You're gonna love him." She reassured him, stepping into the elevator with both Seth and Jack.
Now I own Jack too..muahaha. Kitties 3
