The next morning,Paris rolled over and opened her eyes.Justin wasn’t next to her any longer but she heard voices calling her name.She sat up,wondering where the voices were coming from.
Soon she heard footsteps and it was a girls voice.”Wake up Paris!”she heard the girl say.She looked toward the door and saw Lori and Stacey walk in.
“There she is!Shes awake!”Lori said
“How couldn’t she be?With you screaming like that”Stacey said,”Good morning Paris…or almost good afternoon”she said.The clock said 11:46 am
“Good morning”Paris said,”Im sorry but Justin isn’t here right now”she said sleepily
“Oh he is here still,he is downstairs.He called us over”Lori said excitedly
“Sorry that Lori is acting like a cheerleader on crack cocaine.Since hes working today,he doesn’t want you to be here alone,so he hired us to babysit you”Stacey said,”Take you out for a girls day out in the Hills”
“The Hills?Meaning Beverly Hills?”Paris asked
“Your acting like you’ve never been there before”Lori said,then she stopped,”Oh you haven’t?”
“No”Paris said and laughed
“Oh this is so cool!Its like Pretty Woman or something”
“Except that shes not a prostitute”Stacey said,”So what do you say?”she asked
Before Paris could answer,Justin walked in with a tray of food.”Breakfast”he said with a smile
“Breakfast in bed!?How romantic”Lori said excitedly. Stacey elbowed her and gave her a look,”Ow…sorry”she whispered
“Oh Justin,you didn’t have to”Paris said as she looked at the buttered pancakes and orange juice that was laid out in front of her.
“Hey if your gonna hang with these girls.You need energy and breakfast will definitely help you”he said,”So what do you two have planned for Paris today?”
“Shopping,definitely”Lori said
“Oh then I’ll just watch you two shop”Paris said,”I definitely don’t have Beverly Hills money”
“Here”Justin said as he pulled a Visa out of his wallet
“No Justin,I cant”she said
“Please Paris,you’ll upset me if you don’t take it.Shopping in the Hills is a once in a lifetime opportunity.I can afford it”he said,”Believe it or not,girls clothing is less expensive than guys clothing”
“But-“
“No buts,take it”he said,”You girls take care of her now.Bring her back safely”he said
“Yes sir”Stacey and Lori said
Justin kissed Paris on her forehead and that made her blush because now people were in the room.”I gotta go now or I’ll be late.Have fun”he said and then he left.
“Well we’ll leave you here to eat your breakfast and to get ready”Stacey said
“Yeah your gonna have so much fun,you wont have to think about the bastard”Lori said
“Lori!Jesus,you have the biggest mouth”Stacey said
“He told you?”she asked
“No…not everything.We asked why you were staying here and he said,and I quote,’Because of her bastard ex boyfriend’.But he didn’t want to say anymore,he wanted you to tell us if you were comfortable”Stacey said
“Oh”Paris said as she poured some maple syrup on her pancakes
“We’ll leave you with your pancakes now”Stacey said as she pulled Lori out of the room.
Paris smiled,they really were nice.She finished her breakfast,then she went and showered and got dressed.She put on some tight designer jeans and a black midriff tank top that had ‘Coyote Ugly’ on it.She put on some heels and went downstairs.
“Hey your done?”Stacey said,”Wow it didn’t take you that long.But then again your not Lori”
“Hey I need a lot of time when deciding on an outfit”Lori said
Paris laughed as she put the dishes away,”Ok you girls ready?”she asked as she got her purse
“Oh Justin is giving you his spare key,just in case we come back and hes not here”Stacey said as she gave it to her.They all left the house and Paris locked it behind her,”You get shotgun Paris”
“Hey!You cant call shotgun for a person!”Lori said
“So she wont feel left out in the backseat”Stacey said and laughed.They walked toward her red Jeep Wrangler and they got in.”Ready to get our shop on ladies?”she said.They all cheered and drove towards Beverly Hills.

“Everything is so expensive”Paris said as she looked at all the price tags in a store called Mademoiselle.
“Hey this is the Hills”Stacey said
“And Justin gave you one of his many credit cards,you can afford this stuff”Lori said
“I feel guilty using it”Paris said
“Well if he didn’t want you to use it,he wouldn’t have given it to you”Stacey said as she picked out a red shirt,a bright blue off the shoulder and yellow tank top.
“Ooh pretty”Lori said as she got some pink shirts
“You must love pink huh?”Paris asked
“Oh yeah well that’s because its my color scheme and its my favorite color”
“Color scheme?”Paris asked
“You don’t know your color scheme?”Lori asked her
“I didn’t know I had one”Paris said
“Oh no girl.Everyone should know their color scheme”Lori said
“Go ahead and let her show you,she has a whole theory on these things”Stacey said with a laugh
“Ok”Paris said
“Ok for example.Lets take Stacey here,she has red,yellow and blue.Her color scheme is Pretty Primary.She looks good in the primary colors and white and black”Lori said,”Im a Prissy Pastel,which means that I look good in all the prissy-esque colors.Like pastel pink,pastel blue,pastel yellow,pastel purple.I cant wear anything to bright or too dark.But every girl needs a black dress so I do have one but that’s the darkest that I can go”
“Ok so what am I?”Paris asked
“You…are a Cool Hue”she said
“Oooh”Stacey said
“Whats that?”Paris asked
“You wear the coolest colors.You should stay away from naturally bright colors.Very earthy tones is what you should go for.Like blues,greens and browns.Now you can wear bright blues but if you wear a bright orange…eew it wont work”Lori said
“Ok”Paris said
“Oh and you look great in black,but stay away from too much white”Lori said
“Ok…I can deal with that”she said,”Blues,greens and browns”she said
“Glad I could help”Lori said,”Oh!That dress is perfect for your color scheme”she said as she pointed to a light blue dress,”Its very Cool Hue”
“Aww it is pretty”Paris said with a smile then she saw the price,”Oh…that’s a lot of money”
“Hey money is no object when you have Justin Timberlake’s credit card.Loosen up”Lori said as she took it down for her,”I will kill you if you don’t try it on”
“Ok fine.I’ll be back”Paris said as she went towards the dressing rooms and tried on the dress.She tried it on and she loved it,it hugged every curve in the right way and it was like it was made for her.
“I got some matching stilettos”Lori said as she walked out of the dressing room,”Wow,that looks sooooo good on you”
“It does,you should get it”Stacey said with a smile.
“Im in love with it”Paris said as she looked at herself in the mirror
“This is great.Now I know why people like helping others,it feels so rewarding”Lori said
“You just helped her pick out a dress”Stacey said with a laugh
“But she didn’t know her color scheme.Once you know your color scheme,your set for life”Lori said
“Whatever you say”Stacey said

Later on that day, they were done with the clothes shopping so they stopped by an outdoor café and got a bite to eat.
“So what did your ex do to you anyways?”Lori asked
“Lori!”Stacey said
“No its fine”Paris said.She told them the whole story of how Sean bought the apartment,and on her birthday he asked her to move in with him.How he cheated on her with Gabrielle and how he threatened to take the apartment away if she didn’t take him back and how she ended up at Justins.
“Wow,he is a bastard”Stacey said
“So are you going to live with Justin now?”Lori asked
“Just for a few days and then I’ll get my own apartment.Im sure I can find one”
“You should stay with Justin,I bet he wouldn’t mind”Lori said
“No,Ive learned my lesson.I cant depend on anyone anymore.I mean I depended on Sean and I was almost homeless because of him”
“True”Stacey said
“But Justin wouldn’t do that.Ive known that boy all his life and hes such a humanitarian”Lori said
“Yeah,hes an Aquarius.Aquarians are humanitarians”Paris said with a smile,”I know that he wouldn’t do that but,its time that I had my own place.I mean,Justin and I aren’t even that serious”
“So,you two aren’t dating?”Stacey asked
Paris thought about it,”No..I don’t think so”
“What do you mean?”Lori asked,”It’s a simple question”
“He kissed you didn’t he?”Stacey asked
“Yeah…on more than one occasion…but the whole dating thing hasn’t come up yet”
“Ahh that’s why its confusing”Stacey said,”You two should talk about it.Do you like him?”
“Yeah..hes really nice and hes taken care of me through all of this.I really like him”she said,”Im falling for him actually”
“Awww”Stacey and Lori said
“Well Justin is the perfect guy,if he were my type I would date him”Lori said
“Whats your type?”Paris asked
“Those dirty punk rockers”Stacey said
“Hey,they aren’t dirty,they are grungy,its different”Lori said,”But yeah totally talk about it with him”
“I don’t wanna scare him off”Paris said,”I mean he might not even like me like that”
“I think he does”Lori said,”Justin doesn’t kiss just any girl on her forehead.That’s a very sexual place to kiss a person”
“The forehead?”Stacey asked,”Oh no,the most sexual place to kiss is on the neck or on the shoulders…ooooh…if a guy does that,he has me most definitely”
“Well yeah I agree with you on the whole neck and shoulders thing,but the forehead is actually really sexual,but its also intellectual.Its like the guy is kissing you for two reasons,because he loves how sexy you are and he loves how smart you are”
Paris smiled.”Yeah I like forehead kisses”
“Sorry Im not into being intellectual.The neck and shoulders are my spots”Stacey said
“Me too,and I also like when a guy kisses my knee”Lori said
“Your knee?”Stacey and Paris asked
“I dunno,it gives me that tingly feeling you know?”Lori said,”So whats your spot Paris?”
“I don’t know”Paris said,”I haven’t gone that far in the sex department….Im a virgin”
“You’re a virgin!”Lori said
“Lori shut up!Damn girl,you have the biggest mouth”Stacey said,”Its not like it’s a bad thing Paris.I wish I had my virginity back sometimes.You know,to have that first time feeling”
“I don’t”Lori said
“Im just saving myself for the right person”Paris said.She smiled at Stacey’s comment.Justin was right about some girls wanting their virginity back.”But I do love neck and forhead kisses”she said,”If I find out more spots I’ll let you girls know”
“Yeah so I can try them”Lori said with a laugh
Paris smiled,she was really having fun with these girls.”Aww…shit you guys..I never really had straight friends before”she said with a smile
They both looked at her,”Really?”Stacey asked
“Well yeah,my best friend is gay…a gay guy.I mean spots to us and spots to them are totally different,I cant really talk about that stuff with him”
“I see what you mean”Lori said,”Every girl should have at least one girlfriend. I mean gay guys make great friends,but you cant really relate to them on a girly level”
“They are good shoppers though”Stacey said
“Oh yeah definitely”Paris said
“But hey,if you ever need to talk….you know like girl talk?Give us a call”Stacey said,”Its good for the soul”

Paris walked into Justins house and noticed that the door was unlocked.She walked in and found him in the kitchen,”Oh your home”she said
Justin turned around and smiled,”Hey you.So did you have fun?”
“Yeah,it was a blast”Paris said with a smile
“So did you spend all of my life savings?”he asked and winked
“No”she said as she gave him back his credit cards.”They thought I wasn’t spending enough actually”she said.”Here are some receipts.That helps you keep track of everything I spent”she said as she gave him a few receipts.
He looked at them,”That’s all you spent?”he asked
“It was enough for me”she said
He smiled and shrugged,”Ok”he said,”At least you spent something.I would have been upset if you didn’t.So that’s all you did?Went shopping?”
“No we also ate and talked girl talk and then we saw ‘Dodgeball’ cuz Lori is in love with Ben Stiller,and now Im here”she said with a smile
“Well Im glad you had fun”he said as he kissed her on her forehead and put something away.
She remembered their conversation about forehead kisses and wondered if she should talk to Justin about where they stood.Should she tell him how much she liked him?”Um…Justin?”she asked
“Yeah?”he asked as he turned around
“Can I ask you something?”she asked
“Yeah sure”he asked,”Is something wrong?”he asked her
“Oh no…its just-“then she was interrupted by a cell phone
“Damn”he said,”Im sorry I have to take this”he said apologetically
“Its ok”she said
“Hello?”he said,”Hey Johnny….yeah….yeah..”
Paris picked up her shopping bags and put them in her room.Maybe it wasn’t such a good time.Before his phone rang she had some courage to ask him but now she didn’t.She hung up the dress in the closet and put the shoe box next to her box of shoes and put the several shirts that she bought with her other shirts,her new pair of jeans with the pants and so on.
She went back downstairs and saw that he was still on the phone.She went into the living room and sat down in front of the tv.Coincidentally,the Fabulous Life of Justin Timberlake was on.She smiled as they showed his house that she was actually sitting in and the cars that were currently in his garage.But they showed pictures of him and Cameron and the car that he bought her.Was he really over her?
“Hey”he said as he sat next to her,bringing her out of her thoughts.He gave her a wine cooler,”What cha watching?”he asked
“Your fabulous life”she said
“Huh?”he asked,he looked at the tv.”Oh…never saw this”he said,”My life is fabulous?”he asked
“Yes,people will kill to have this place”Paris said
“I can barely enjoy it though.Im barely here.This past week has been the most I have ever spent in this house”he said,”Oh what did you want to ask me?”he asked her
“Huh?Oh nothing,it was nothing”
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah..I actually forgot what I was going to ask you”she said,”So its not that important”she said
