“Whooo!You look so sexy girl.Work it!”Pierre said excitedly when Paris opened the door
Paris laughed.”Thanks Pierre.You don’t look too bad yourself.Let me just get my purse”she said as she walked back into her room and found a black purse to match her black jump suit that had one sleeve,she had on black heels to complete the outfit. She threw a few things in the purse and kissed her cat goodye.
“You still kiss that cat?”Pierre asked as he looked at himself in the mirror.He had on a silver dress shirt with black pants.
“Why not?Shes all I have”Paris said with a smile
“Oh?So I guess I don’t count anymore huh?”Pierre asked.pretending to be offended
“Oh Pierre stop.Anyways if I kissed you,you wouldn’t like it too much”
“True,but remember that time we were both drunk and we played spin the bottle at that party?”
Paris laughed,”Yeah I was surprised you agreed to kiss me”
“Well I was the only gay guy at that party.I was only allowed to kiss girls.But I must say that that was a nice kiss you slapped on me”
“Why thank you”she said as they both walked out and she locked her door.They both headed to Pierre’s black Mustang
“Well damn look at us.We will be the best looking couple in the whole place”Pierre said.They both got in and drove to the waterside part of town.They pulled up to this place called Flanagan’s
“Flanagan’s?We’re going to Flanagan’s?”Paris asked
“Yeah why not?”Pierre asked as he shut off the car and got out
Paris got out slowly,”Well for one,it’s a straight club-“
“So?”
“Pierre your not going to have any fun-“
“Well I haven’t been here,and you haven’t been here in awhile so…it’s a free country”
Paris sighed,sometimes she hated going to clubs.All she wanted to do was come to dance and it seemed like every guy was looking for a girl to lay,and they all came to her.It was annoying.”Ok but if anyone says anything to me-“
“Ok Paris I know.You should be happy.You should move on from Sean you know”he said as they walked
“I have,Im just not looking for a boyfriend right now.Im too picky anyways”she said.She noticed three guys walking down the street towards them.She didn’t think anything of it until one of them decided to be bold
He leaned over and whispered,”Too tough” in her ear
Paris looked at the guy,”Too tough?Ugh,your giving me too much”she said as she kept walking
“Paris are you crazy?He was hot!”Pierre said
“Then I hope he was talking to you”
“What did he say?”
“Too tough”
“That’s it?What does that mean?Well I know he wasn’t talking to me then”
“I don’t know.I mean,is that a compliment?”she asked as they got to the door.
“Ugh you girls are so lucky”Pierre said after they got their bracelets from the bouncers,”I have to pay ten bucks to get in here? This party better be good”
And it was,surprisingly.Paris had a good time and since she was with Pierre the whole time,no guy came near her.
“Hey I have to go to the water closet”Pierre shouted and then he disappeared. Paris just shrugged.She was a little tired anyways.She leaned against the stage and watched other people dance to some reggae song.She laughed as she watched some drunk girl dance with a tambourine.She left the stage and decided to go to the bar and get something to drink.Then she felt hands around her waist.
“Hey babe”she said without looking back,”Come on lets get something to drink”she said to Pierre.Then she felt the hands go lower,touching her ass.She turned around and it wasn’t Pierre
“Hey girl,come on and dance with me with that sexy ass of yours”the guy said
“Uh uh,what your gonna do is take your hands off of me”Paris said as she snatched his hands away from her body
“Come on,I just want one little dance”
“You better start walking right now”Paris warned him.Then Pierre came over to her
“Is there a problem?”Pierre asked as he pushed the guy away slightly,but then didn’t let go,”Hmmm…you have some nice muscles fella”
“What the fuck man!?”the guy said.then some other guys came to his rescue,”I aint no faget man,you better get the fuck off of me!”he said as he snatched Pierre’s hands off his arm
A few minutes later,Paris and Pierre were outside of the club.”Damn I didn’t think they were going to kick me out”
“It’s a straight club Pierre!”Paris said,even though she was happy to leave but it was embarrassing HOW they left.Paris stopped,”Pierre.You have to understand that you cant just go into a straight club and leave with a guy.God blessed you with a penis Pierre.And some guys are not into that!”
“Unfortunately”Pierre said,”Im thinking about getting it removed”he said with a smile
“Pierre Im serious”
“I know you are Paris and that’s the problem.Your always too serious,you never have any fun.Besides tonight you haven’t had any fun in a long time.Believe it or not,I didn’t go to that straight club to find a date.I go there because I have fun dancing to that kind of music.They don’t play that kind of music in gay clubs.I just wanted something different”Pierre sighed,”Im sorry I hit on that guy.Sometimes I cant help myself”
“You don’t have to apologize,and thanks for saving me….kinda”Paris said
“Your welcome”Pierre said.It was a little past midnight,”You ready to go back home or what?”
Paris smiled.”No not really”
“Would you mind if we went to Club Flash?”Pierre asked,it was a gay club that was a few blocks away
“Am I allowed in there?”she asked as they got in his car
“Yeah as long as you don’t hit on any guys”he said and winked,”You can meet some of my friends”he said as they drove off
__
“Oh God”Paris said as she clocked in the next morning.She went straight into her office,not saying hello to Chelsea and sat down.
“You ok?”Chelsea asked as she walked in
“Yeah,just had a rough night that’s all”Paris said,”Never hang out with Pierre at one of his clubs.You will be there until 4 in the morning”she said with a laugh and then yawned.She was dead tired.
“Well heres the final edition of Mondays magazine”Chelsea said as she put the magazine on her desk.
“Looks good”she said quietly as she stared at the picture of Jon Benet,still wishing that it was her story on the cover.
“Don’t worry Paris,you’ll have your chance”Chelsea said
“Oh Im not upset anymore”she lied,”I mean this new article that Im writing for Monday’s deadline,it will make the cover Im sure.You just gotta brush yourself off after you fall down”
Chelsea smiled,”That’s the spirit.Um here are some messages.Lemmie Williams called and….um Sean called twice”
Paris sighed,”Why does he keep calling here?”
“You blocked him off your caller Id”Chelsea said,”That’s what he said”
“And is he surprised?After what he did?”Paris asked angrily,then she took a deep breath,she wasn’t going to waste any time talking about that jerk.”Im not going to waste any time talking about that jerk”she said as she took the pink slips from Chelsea,”Thanks”she said as she threw Sean’s message away
“If you throw that away,hes going to keep calling”Chelsea said
“I really don’t care,hes nothing but trash anyways”she said
Chelsea laughed,”Ok I will bring your coffee”
“Thanks Chel”she said as she talked to Lemmie on the phone.When she was done,she felt accomplished.Lemmie was her photographer and has been helping her with her latest deadline.She got her faxes from him and kept working on her story.
Then without warning,Pierre came bursting into her office.”Paris come here right now”
“What?Whats going on?”she asked him
“Lita wants us in her office now”Pierre said with a smile
“Is it a good thing?”Paris asked as she saved her work on her computer and got up
“She didn’t seem too upset”Pierre said as he took her hand and walked into her office
Lita smiled as she sat behind her fabulous desk.”Sit down you two,we have some things to discuss”
Paris and Pierre sat down,she sat there nervously,hoping that it wasn’t any bad news,”Whats up Lita?”Pierre asked
“Well whats up is that there is this big party in LA at the club Suite 16?I think you all have heard of it”Lita said
“Of course,that’s where all the celebs and the rich hob nob”Paris said
“Well,just for some more stories for the magazine and to get you two some exposure to the celebrity world,I am sending you two to the party”Lita said with a smile
Paris and Pierre looked at each other and almost screamed at the top of their lungs,they got up and hugged each other.Some of the other workers could hear and kind of stood by the office to see what the commotion was about
“Don’t you guys want to know what to do?”Lita asked
Paris and Pierre calmed down and sat back down,”Thank you Lita.”Paris said excitedly.
“Ok,the party is tonight,the doors open at 7.I suggest you to be there so you can get in before the crowds.There will be a desk,you give them your names and say that you are there for INQUIRING MINDS and they will give you blue tags and you are on your way in.But don’t interview,just watch mostly,maybe listen to people’s conversations.Gossip and good stories are all around you,you just have to listen”
“Wow this is so awesome”Pierre said
“Now it’s a black tie affair,so don’t be going in there with jeans and tube tops”Lita said with a laugh
“Oh I have the perfect outfit!”Pierre said as he clapped his hands
“Well that’s it.If you both need to leave early to get ready.I’ll let you off at 3.But if you don’t have your deadlines done,I suggest you get them done since you wont be back til Monday”Lita said as she stood up.”Any questions?”she asked as they shook her hand and walked them out of her office
“Are we going to be paid extra for this?”Pierre asked
“Pierre!”Paris said
“Yeah,there will be a bonus for you guys”Lita said with a smile,”A nice big one.Now excuse me I have some calls to make,represent well for the magazine ok?”she said to them
“We will”Pierre and Paris said excitedly
“Whats all the commotion about?”Gabrielle asked
“Its none of your concern”Paris said
“We are going to the Suite 16 party tonight.We were picked personally by Lita herself”Pierre bragged
Gabrielle crossed her arms,”Oh”she said simply
“Yeah and we are going to be paid extra”Pierre said,”You know what?Its great when you actually earn a great opportunity like this,you should try that sometime”
“Try what?”Gabrielle asked sarcastically
“Doing some actual work around here”he said and then he put his arm around Paris,”Ohmygod,I know exactly what Im going to wear girl”he said as they walked into Paris’ office
“I cant believe you just said that to her”Paris said
“It’s the truth,it hurts and shall set you free”Pierre said
“Whats going on?”Chelsea asked as she walked in.Then Paris told her about the party,”Wow congratulations.Have fun for me ok?”she said,”Oh and Sean called while you were gone”
“Hes still calling?”Pierre asked
“Ugh….”Paris said,”Isnt this called stalking?”Paris asked as she sat down
“He just calls too much,stalking implies that he actually follows you around” Chelsea said
Paris looked at her clock,it was almost 12.She could get a quick lunch and finish her deadline and then go home and get ready.”You guys want some lunch?”Paris asked,”Im gonna need it if I need to finish this deadline in the next three hours”

“Pierre,I really don’t think that this is a good idea”Paris said as she stared in her mirror at her baby blue dress and her baby blue eyes
“Huney,those contacts bring out the color of your dress and your dress brings out the color of your eyes.It’s a perfect match”Pierre said,”Wow Paris,I can honestly say that you look cuter than me”
“Thanks…its just..Im not used to sticking things in my eyes”she said as she blinked a few times,”And anyways I have perfect vision,I don’t need these”
“Oh don’t worry,you’ll barely know their there”Pierre said,”Now we can go,its 6:30 and we’re gonna be late if we don’t leave now”he said as he pulled her out the door.They got into his Mustang and drove towards Suite 16,”Ooh Im so excited.We get to hang out with the rich and famous!”
“I know,its all too surreal huh?And we get paid for it”she said with a laugh
“My father owns Pepsi”
“What?”Paris asked him
“That’s my story,if anyone asks how Im rich and famous,Im going to say that my father owns Pepsi”
“Really?Well then my mother owns Coke”she said sarcastically
“No…lets see what we can do with you….ahhh!Your grandfather inherited the Hilton hotels!”Pierre said
“Pierre hello!Im not Paris or Nikki Hilton”
“Oh yeah I forgot about them.Um…..oh!Your uncle owns the MGM Grand hotel in Vegas”
“I can go with that”Paris said with a smile.Soon they drove up at 7 on the dot.They didn’t have to wait too long.They went up to the table and she said,”Paris Madison”
“Pierre Monroe”Pierre said excitedly.The lady checked and gave them purple tags,”I thought they were blue?”Pierre asked
“We changed our minds.Next!”she said
“This doesn’t go with my outfit at all!”he said as he pointed to his blue sparkly shirt and ivory pants
“It doesn’t go with mine either”Paris said as they walked in
“Here keep mine in your purse too”he said as he stuffed both of theirs into her purse
“Wow,this place is nice”Paris said.There were red carpets everywhere,fountains and rich and famous people.
“Be right back”Pierre said and then he disappeared.
She walked and got a drink.She saw Usher standing by with two women,he was in deep conversation with both of them and had his arms around both of their waists.She took out her phone and took a picture.That looked like a great story.She did as she was told and was a wallflower,she pretended to be on her phone while she listened to other peoples conversations,she stayed in the girls bathroom for a good fifteen minutes to hear some gossip.She walked out the bathroom with a smile on her face,she had more than enough stories.She just hoped that Pierre was doing the same,he totally ditched her.Then she felt her eye twitching,then she took out a small mirror from out of her purse.Her contact was gone!”Oh no”she said as she got on her knees and tried to look for it.
“Um…Miss?Can I help you?”she heard a voice ask
“I lost my contact lense”she said without looking up.She saw someone kneel down in front of her,she looked up and gasped.It was Justin Timberlake!
“Were you standing right here when it fell out?”he asked her
“Um yeah”she said
“What color is it?”he asked
“Blue”she said,not believing that THE Justin Timberlake was on the floor looking for her measly contact lense.They kept looking,she almost got stepped on a few times
“Is that it?”he pointed,she looked and saw it,”I don’t want to pick it up if its going back into your eyeball”he said with a laugh
“Thanks but no its not”she said as she picked it up.He then grabbed her hand and helped her up,”As you can tell these aren’t my real color”she said as she pointed to her eyes
“Why are you wearing them?”he asked
“My friend said that they matched my dress”she said,now feeling stupid
“Well you look nice”Justin said.Then someone came over and whispered in his ear and started to pull him away,”I gotta go”
“Thanks”she said to him,he did a small wave and disappeared into the crowd. Wow she just had small talk with Justin Timberlake!?Then she sighed,she forgot to take a picture of him.She went back into the bathroom and took out her other lense. She was perfectly fine with her dark brown eyes anyway.She walked out and wondered where Pierre was.She got another drink and stood by the staircase.She looked down at the first floor and saw Pierre,he was talking to JC of *NSYNC!Then she looked closely and saw that JC didn’t look too happy.She sighed and headed downstairs
__
“Whats wrong JC?”Justin asked as he came up to JC and some guy with a sparkly shirt.
“This dude is trying to hit on me!”JC said
“I was not.I was having a pleasant conversation with him”the guy said. Justin could tell that this guy was gay,”Hello Justin how are you today?”
“Im fine thanks,but JC lets go and not start anything”Justin whispered into JC’s ear
“Secrets,secrets are no fun unless their shared with everyone!”Pierre said happily
“What?”Justin and JC asked
“Hey do you guys want me to get you guys some drinks?Some caviar?”
“No thanks dude really”JC said
“How about a dance?”Pierre asked
“What!”JC said a little loudly,”Why don’t you go back to your gay club man. I am not like that so leave us alone!”
“JC calm down”
“This guy has been following me around this whole party”JC hissed
Justin sighed,”Hey lets just-“
“Pierre Monroe right?”he heard a familiar voice,he looked and saw the girl who lost her contact lense.She was talking to the gay guy
“Yes”he said
“Your father owns Pepsi right?”she asked him
“Yes he does”he said as he looked at JC up and down.Justin had to hold him back.
“Well my uncle owns…..um…..he directs commercials,and we need to talk about doing some big Pepsi commercial how does that sound?”she asked as she pulled the guy away
“Um sure”he said as he walked away
“Ok JC calm down hes gone”Justin said
“He was following me around,he was staring at me and he kept wanting to buy me a drink man”JC said
“Well lets go get you one so you can calm down a little,you almost caused a scene”Justin said
__
“You almost caused a scene!”Paris said as she pulled Pierre out of the party,they walked into the parking lot
“Paris calm down,I was only trying to get to know the boy”
Paris grabbed Pierre’s face and brought it closer to hers,”Pierre listen to me. God blessed you with balls and I am positive that JC doesn’t want yours”
“Ugh you don’t know that”Pierre said,”Oh and you almost screwed up our story”
“What?”she asked as she let go of him
“Your uncle owns MGM Grand remember?He doesn’t make commercials”
“I don’t care,at least I got you out of there.I cant believe that you hit on JC Chasez!”
“Hes hot!My mother always told me to aim for bigger things”he said,”I wonder how big his thing…is”he said with a laugh
“Ugh I cant believe Im hearing this!”Paris said as she walked to his car,”I have all the stories I need and I hope you do too cuz we’re leaving”
“Good,Im starving and caviar tastes like shit.Lets go get a pizza”Pierre said as they got into the car,”I have some stories too.Maybe I can write a story about JC and I”
“No Pierre,because next thing you know.JC’s people are going to call our offices suing us.Lita told us to behave while we’re here.And I had to drag you out of the place”
“Ok Im sorry geez”Pierre said,”You want some pizza?”
“Yeah,the caviar did taste like shit”she said as they drove off.
