"Hello," I picked up the extention in the living room. Danni hung up the kitchen phone.
"Hey, Candy, I didn't wake ya did I?" Steph asked.
"Yeah you did, but thats ok. What do you need?" I said.
"Well, Daddy and I just sat down to work on the script for this weekends houseshows, and I was wondering if you want to actually wrestle a match or two?"
"Seriously?"
"Yeah, first at Friday's house show I want you to wrestle Nidia, and then on Saturday at the house show you can tag up with Torrie Wilson to take on Dawn Marie and Nidia. Then on Tuesday at the SMACKDOWN tapings I'll have you start a major feud with Nidia. Is that ok with you?"
"Steph, that sounds AWESOME! I can't wait. Oh yeah, I wanted to ask you a question too. You see, Brock and I had a fight and we broke up, and I think that its going to be too painful to be standing at ringside cheering for him. So I was wondering if you would mind working our breakup into the storylines?"
"Candy, I'm sorry, but I don't think I can work that in. Dad wants to make Brock a good guy. The last thing I can do right now is to have him break up with you. Your fan reation was excellent. You make a great good guy. And we need Brock to stay good for a while, so we can't have him break up with you or vice-versa. I'm sooo sorry. But hey, I'll keep that idea in mind for a latter storyline."
"Alright, thanks anyway."
"So what did you guys fight about?" We talked for about half an hour. By the time I got off the phone I was too awake to sleep anymore so I went to wake Rey up.
"Rey Rey, what time are you supposed to be at that signing?" I asked turning on the light, and then bouncing on the bed. I didn't know why, but I was suddenly filled with a lot of energy.
"ugh, what time is it now?" He mumbled.
"Its 8:15am. C'mon get up."
"No! I don't have to be to K-mart until 3:00 this afternoon. Let me sleep." He pulled the blankets over his head.
"Fine party pooper." I bounced out of the room. 'Now what am I gonna do?' I thought to myself. My question was quickly answered when I ran into Mark in the hallway.
"Hey, what are your plans for today?" Mark asked me.
"I haven't got any. Why? What are you up to today?"
"I don't have any direct plans. I was thinking maybe you and I could spend some time getting to know each other."
"Is Sarah gonna mind?"
"I don't care. You're my daughter, and we need to spend some time together so we can establish a good relationship."
"Ok. Just let me take a quick shower, and get changed. Give me half an hour."
"Ok."
Half an hour later, Mark and I were getting in my car. "So where am I headed?" I asked when I started up the car.
"Where's the best mall around here?"
"Mall? You don't mind going into a mall?"
"Well, is there something else you'd rather do?"
"No the mall is fine. But I don't exactly have too much money on me."
"Don't worry about it. You're going on a $250 shoping spree on me."
"Thanks." We went to the area mall. We spent over three hours there. By the end of the second hour, Mark was begining to complain. I bought $100 worth of clothes, $50 worth of CDs, and $100 worth of miscillanious items like make-up, knick-nacks, and other things. We had eaten breakfast at the mall, but when we got home at noon time we were starving. Everyone was sitting at the table, Danni had made soup and sandwhiches, and we were getting ready to eat. Then there was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it." I ran to the front door. When I opened it, Brock was standing there. "What the heck are you doing here? I can't believe you had the balls to show up on my front step after what you did yesterday."
"I know you're mad. And I don't blame you."
"You think I'm mad? No Brock, I was mad last night. Now I'm furious. And I'm not exactly pleasent when I'm furious. So I suggest that you get your butt off my uncle's property before I do something that you will regret."
"We need to talk about what happened."
"Brock, GET LOST NOW!"
"What's Brock doing here?" Rey asked coming up behind me.
"What are you doing here Rey?" Brock asked.
"Candy invited me to stay here. What are you doing here? I cant believe you had the nerve to show up here. I should beat you down right here, but I know I don't have to," Rey said.
"And why's that? Is it because CJ finally came to her senses and wants me back?" He tried to kiss me. I pushed him back with such a force that it sent him off the front porch and onto the walkway. I turned around and ran back in the house.
"That's why I don't have to protect her. She can beat guys double her size," Rey said and then turned around and went in the house and shut the door. Brock laid on the ground a minute in total shock at what I had just done to him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Friday afternoon, Rey, Dwayne, Mark, Sarah, and I caught a flight to Pennsylvania for the house show. When I got to the women's lockerroom, there was a bouquet of red roses sitting on one of the tables.
"Awww, that's sweet. Whose wonderful boyfriend sent flowers?" I asked the other women in the room.
"Yours," Torrie Wilson informed me."There's chocolates there for you too. Brock must really love you."
"Brock sent thoes?" I asked putting my bag down.
"Yup. That was so sweet of him. I wish my boyfriend would do that for me," Nidia said.
I stormed over to the table, knocked the flowers over causing them to crash to the floor. The vase they were in broke into many pieces and there was a puddle on the floor. I grabbed the chocolate and left the lockerroom. I ran to Brock's room as fast as I could. After knocking only once I barged in.
"What were you thinking?" I demanded.
"Oh so you got the flowers. Did you like them?" Brock asked.
"The flowers that are not sitting on my locker room floor, and these chocolates? Yeah I got them. But Brock, YOU CAN'T JUST MAKE UP FOR IT BY BUYING ME CHOCOLATE AND ROSES!" With each word I said I whipped a chocolate at him.
"Why not? Your father bought your love."
"He did not!"
"Well you did seem closer to him after your major shopping spree."
"Were you following me around or something?"
"Yes! Candance, I love you with all my heart. I'm sorry that I made you mad, but please forgive me. You make my life complete." I threw the box at him and ran out of the room. I didn't know where I should go. I couldn't go to the women's locker room, and I didn't want to see Dwayne or Mark. Then Rey ran up to me.
"Hey girlie, Wassup? Hey, are you crying? You're mascara's running. C'mon, lets go in my locker room and talk." He led me to his locker room. I hung out with him for a while, talking. He made me feel a lot better.
I walked out of the locker room to go get ready for my match that night with Nidia, and ran right into Brock. "CJ, can we please talk about everything thats happening?"
"No. But you must come with me to go talk to Nidia because you are supposed to be at ringside for me, so c'mon." Before he could answer, Rey came out of the locker room.
"Oh hey Brock. Good luck tonight, Candy," Rey said and then walked away.
"Am I mistaking or were you in that locker room before?" Brock demanded.
"Yes. He was trying to comfort me after you made me feel like crap. Now come on, we need to go find Nidia." I started walking away. He grabbed my arm. "Let me go NOW!" We had a momentary stare down, but he eventually let me go. I led him to Nidia and Jamie Noble.
"Hey guys, whats up?" Nidia asked us as we approached them.
"We've got a match tonight, so lets just work through it, please." We talked for a while, working out the specifics of the match for the night.
An hour and a half later, the match was underway. I was getting beaten by Nidia, but then I turned the tables. Jamie tried to interfere, but Brock stopped him. I got the pin on Nidia and won the match. This was correct. But then, Brock got in the ring. We were supposed to celebrate with a kiss, but he just hugged me. I went to kiss him just because it was in the script, but he pushed me back. "Brock, what are you doing? We're supposed to kiss," I whispered to him.
"I don't want to kiss you, you were making out with Rey Mysterio before the show,"He yelled at me. He pushed me down and walked out. I didn't know exactly what I should do, but I did know what I wanted to do. But I just went into the back on my own. When I got through the curtain Vince McMahon was there with Brock.
"I need to see the both of you in my office, NOW!" Vince said. I shot Brock the nastiest look I could and followed Vince.
"Hey, Candy, I didn't wake ya did I?" Steph asked.
"Yeah you did, but thats ok. What do you need?" I said.
"Well, Daddy and I just sat down to work on the script for this weekends houseshows, and I was wondering if you want to actually wrestle a match or two?"
