CHAPTER

17

Even though I knew my life was about to be turned upside down, I was a little startled on the first day of shooting when I awoke to find three men in my bedroom. Cale and two cameramen were there with a bright light greeting me as I woke up.

I got out of bed in a black-and-burgundy short teddy and my hair all over the place as I went into my bathroom to brush my teeth. I made them leave as I took my shower. As much as I wanted to shock the television audience, I was only going so far.

I put on my pink Juicy Couture warmup suit with a white Gap T-shirt and pulled my hair back in a ponytail. This was going to be a busy day. When I walked into the living room, the first person I saw was Lyrical, who was talking with Cale. When he saw me, he whispered something to her, and in a very loud voice she replied, “You want me to do it now?” Cale nodded his head and Lyrical walked toward me with a paper cup in her hand.

“Here is your coffee, Ms. Yancey,” she said with a smirk. “Do you need anything else?”

“Thank you and no,” I said, looking at Cale and the cameraman out of the corner of my eye. I took a sip of the coffee and almost spit it out because it was cold and tasted horrible.

“Is something wrong?” Lyrical asked, knowing full well the answer.

“This coffee is cold.”

“I’m not surprised,” she said, “I got it about an hour ago, but your ass was still in the bed.”

“I thought we talked about your language,” I scolded her, “and I want hot coffee.”

She waved her hand dismissively. “Then you better get it yourself. I’m out of money, honey.”

I looked at Cale, who had a puzzled look on his face, and then back at Lyrical. I knew with her I was going to have to pick my battles wisely. And I really didn’t need any coffee, I told myself.

Trying to regain lost ground, I asked, “So what’s on my schedule today?”

“You have an audition and a doctor’s appointment at three.”

“A doctor’s appointment?”

“Yes, with a Dr. Kym Z. I guess it’s your annual pussy check.”

“Cale!” I screamed as I closed my eyes so that I couldn’t see this girl.

“Yes, Yancey. What’s the problem?” he asked as if he hadn’t been in the room.

“What’s the problem? Did you hear what she just said?”

He giggled. “I thought it was funny, but we will most likely have to cut it out.”

“Both of us have told her that her language has to be clean, and already she’s said two cuss words.”

“Don’t act like I’m not here,” she called to both of us. “Those words just slipped out. I will get better.”

I looked across the room and saw the camera coming closer to me. I placed my hand over the lens and yelled, “Stop it. I need to pull myself together.”

Cale stepped in and put a reassuring hand on my shoulder.
