Chapter Four

The Next Day

Kaisel was awoken by her iPhone alarm, which began to play "Rocketeer" by Far East Movement. Since her phone was on the iPod dock, the song started to play loudly. She effortlessly reached over and slid her finger on the iPhone, stopping the song from playing. After sitting up, she looked around and saw the dress she was wearing the night before, on the floor. Some of the Divas had convinced her to go out with them, because it was her first night of working with them. She had fun, and even had a little bit to drink, so she practically passed out on her bed when she got back. There was a knock on her door, and she got out of bed to answer it. When she did, Eve was standing in front of her with a concerned look on her face.

"Hey Eve, whats wrong?"

"Were you the last one in my room last night?"

Kaisel thought for a minute, but then said "No. When I left Kelly and Candice were still there."

"Oh okay."

"What happened?"

"Some of my stuff was moved around in my room. And I asked Kelly and Candice if they did it, and they both said no."

"Yeah they were both really drunk last night, so I doubt they did it. Was there anybody in your room besides us?"

"No, I don't think so."

"That's weird...was something stolen?"

"That's the weird thing about it, nothing was stolen. But it looked like someone went through my shit and moved it around."

"Wow..that's really weird."

"Yeah, but I probably did it last night." Eve looked at Kaisel's wild hair and giggled. "Did you just wake up?"

"Can you tell?" Kaisel said laughing.

"Your hair is exactly like me. Same color, and my hair looks exactly the same in the morning."

"So you take 2 hours to straighten yours too?" Kaisel joked.

"Sometimes more than that." Eve joked back.

They continued to talk and joke around for about an hour, then Eve went to back her room and Kaisel prepared to take a shower. She put her iPod dock into the bathroom and turned it on. Her iPhone began playing "Shut It Down" by Drake, and she began to undress herself and hop in the shower. After taking about 20 minute shower, she jumped out and changed into something casual: her favorite pair of acid washed skinny jeans, a white and blue polo and her blue and white retro Jordans. She put her unruly wavy hair into a messy bun, partly because she didn't feel like straightening it. The music from her phone was still playing, when it stopped and began ringing. She looked at the phone's screen and saw that it was her father, Miguel Evans Sr.

"Hello?"

"Hi baby girl."

"Hey daddy, whats up?"

"Junior told me you hung up on him yesterday. Why you do that?" Miguel joked.

"Because he called me with bullshit, and I was working."

"Language, Kaisel." He warned.

"Sorry dad. But he always calls me at the wrong time."

"Yeah I know..and speaking of work, why I didn't see you yesterday?"

"Huh?"

"I watched Raw yesterday, and I didn't see you."

Kaisel giggled and said, "Daddy, I don't wrestle."

"What? So what the hell do you do?"

"I work backstage. I gotta make sure the wrestlers are actually able to wrestle."

"That's dumb." Miguel joked.

"That's money." Kaisel joked back. "If I told you how much I'll be making a year, you'll pass out."

"Oh really? You tryna rub it up in your old mans face?"

"Never, dad...well maybe a little bit."

Kaisel has gotten a lot of her personality and traits from her father, but definitely her sense of humor. The two of them laughed, and Miguel continued, "I just called you to tell you that I am very proud of you. I've always been proud, but I'm even more proud of you now. It's just kind of hard to see my youngest, my only girl, growing up."

"Awww dad, don't start."

"I'm serious, Kaisel. I'm proud of you. And I'm pretty sure your mother is looking down at you with a big smile on her face."

Kaisel felt a lump in her throat when he mentioned her mother. Her mom was killed, in plain sight on the street in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn when Kaisel was only four years old. The crazy thing was, her mom was an innocent bystander when the shooting happened, and she was walking back to their apartment from taking Kaisel to school. Even though it was about 20 years ago, and she barely remembered her mom, she still missed her dearly. In order to keep herself from tearing up, Kaisel took a deep breath.

"Thanks dad. That means a lot to me."

"No problem, and even though Junior and Michael don't wanna admit it, they're proud of you too."

"I know. But I want both of them to admit that their proud of their proud of their baby sister."

"Yeah, they'll do it soon. They better. Well, I'm not gonna hold you up anymore baby girl. I'll talk to you later, okay?"

"Okay."

They're was another knock on her room door. "Love you, dad. Amo voce."

"Eu amo voce."

Kaisel hung up, went to answer the door, and saw Candice standing there.

"Oh good, you're up." Candice said.

"Yeah. What are you doing today?"

"I was getting ready to ask you the same thing."

"Nothing that I know of."

"Good, then me and you need to go shopping."

"For what?"

"Vince is throwing some type of event next week when were in Los Angeles, and wants all of the superstars to be there."

"I'm not a superstar though." Kaisel joked.

Candice looked at her and rolled her eyes. "Production has to be there too."

Kaisel sighed and said "Fine, let's go."

"Yay!"

Candice grabbed Kaisel's hand and pulled her out of the room, letting the door close behind her.

"Candice! My damn key is still in the room!" Kaisel said,

"Oops." Candice said. "Oh well, ask the receptionist to get another one when we get back."

"You really get on my nerves sometimes." Kaisel laughed.

"And that's why you love me, cousin."

They walked out of the hotel and made their way towards Candice's car. They drove about 10 minutes to Jersey City and stopped at a local boutique. When they walked inside, Kaisel was amazed by all of the gorgeous dresses that the store had on display.

"This is beautiful." She gasped.

"It is. Ohmygawd, this one is gorgeous." Candice said, feeling on a silk black dress.

"Yeah it is, I don't wanna wear black though."

"I think emerald, or some type of green would look perfect on you. Because of your olive color skin complextion."

"Really?"

"Yup. The guys would definitely look at you twice. Especially your boyfriend."

Kaisel stopped and looked at Candice, "Who's my boyfriend?"

Candice looked right back and Kaisel and smiled, "PLEASE Kaisel, you know exactly who I'm talking about."

"He's not my boyfriend."

"So you really do know who I'm talking about."

"Yes, and he's not my boyfriend."

"Then why don't you make it happen?"

"It's not even like that, we're just friends."

"Right, but you like him."

"No I don't."

"Really? Kaisel, look in my eyes and tell me your not even the slightest bit attracted to Punk."

Kaisel looked at her and took a deep breath. Your not Kaisel, she thought. ….Are you?

"I'm not." Kaisel said, but she sounded more uncertain with her answer.

"Yeah right." Candice said, not believing her for one second. "Look at this one! And it's emerald."

Kaisel looked at the dress that Candice had picked out and nodded, "It's gorgeous."

"Try it on!"

"Alright alright."

She took the dress from Candice's arms and went into the fitting room to try it on. When she had it on, she was very impressed. The emerald color looked beautiful against her skin, like Candice said. It also shaped the curves she had very nicely. This dress was definitely a keeper.

"Are you finished Kaisel? I want you too see my dress too." Candice called from the fitting room next to hers.

"Yeah, I'm done. You ready."

"Yup."

Both girls opened their doors and walked out at the same time, and had the same expression on their face when they seen the other girls' dress.

"Candice, you look gorgeous!"

"Oh my god Kaisel, I told you that dress would like good on you!"

"Yeah, you did."

"You have to get it. With a nice pair of heels and a nice black clutch."

"Okay, I will. Blue really looks good on you, girl."

"Thanks. Okay let's get these off and pay for em."

They went back into the fitting rooms and changed back into their regular clothes. After paying for the dresses and some heels, they left the boutique and made their way to the McDonalds across the street to get lunch. Candice had put on her big sun hat, and her sunglasses to avoid being stopped. After they got their lunch, Candice had gotten a call from Ashley, asking for them to meet her and AJ at another boutique not too far from where they were (they had gone dress shopping too). While they were at the boutique, Candice, Ashley and AJ were excitedly talking about how they were gonna do their hair for the event, what they were going to wear, and so on as Kaisel was sitting in the corner, texting on her phone with a smile on her face. Candice looked at her, smiled and shook her head, knowing exactly who she was texting. She doesn't like him? Candice thought. Yeah, right.
