I opened my eyes and looked up at Pam,
�It better not be before one or you�re fired.� She shook her head,
�No, its one thirty. You have a few appointments coming up in order to get ready for the concert tonight.� I moaned and stretched then climbed out of the bed, naked.
�How much time do I have before the first appointment?� So many things were scheduled to make sure there was no doubt in anyone�s mind that I was going to be the beauty of the night. Hair and makeup, nails, masseuse, the works.
�You have an hour before the masseuse comes.� I walked into the bathroom and brushed my teeth. Looking in the mirror at myself I was reminded by the previous night. It was definitely thirteen hundred dollars well spent. Everything and anything I wanted was done to me and for me. After her first orgasm Sasha really loosed up and began to enjoy the night just as much as Tiffany and me. At my request�more like demand, she performed a little pole dance. She was very flexible. Sitting on the edge of the bed watching her upside down on the pole in a perfect split was erotic enough but to have Tiffany on the floor on her knees before me licking like her life depended on it put me over the top. Just thinking about it now has me on fire with a definite throbbing.
There was a knock on the door and Pam closed the bathroom door before answering. I finished with the oral hygiene and began to run hot water in the Jacuzzi tub. Before I walked out of the bathroom I put on a robe. I walked out to see Marti.
�Hi, did you have fun last night?� I told her she was not allowed to go out with me last night. When I�m in extremely tempting cities she feels the need to be right there with me. Maybe she thinks she can stop me from doing something I really want to do regardless of the public relations consequences. One would think she knows me better than that.
�Everything was fabulous. Couldn�t have had a better night.� The look on her face told me she knew it was something she wouldn�t approve of. I�d say. Going to a strip club and getting a lap dance is no big deal but paying for sex with two strippers and not knowing if they would sell the story or try to blackmail me was another. Things like that, in my mind, happen to other people. I�ve never been in trouble publicly before and I guessed I�m spoiled into thinking bad things happen to other people. Hell, bad things do happen to other people now; I had my share of bad things when I was a kid.
�That�s great. You have a quick little People interview. They are going to call my cell phone in five minutes. It�s just about getting the GMA correspondent job. It will take all of ten minutes max.� I was feeling so good I didn�t even give a damn.
�Sure.� The only thing is I was already running my bathwater and I didn�t want to wait. I was ready now. �I�m going to get in the tub soon. Just bring it in when they call.� I walked back into the bathroom and closed the door behind me.
I heard a cell phone ring and soon there was a knock on the door.
�Come in.� It was Pam,
�Brehan it�s your cell phone. Its Sarah.� I reached out for it and waited until she closed the door before speaking,
�Yes sweetie?� It had been a while since I had heard from her. She was so obsessed with that damn gala. I�m so glad it was only once a year because it was the only thing she talked about. There is no way I�m ever doing that again. Next year I�ll be sure to be somewhere out of the country. I love Paige but I can�t take that boredom anymore.
�Hi, how have you been?�
�Fabulous. I�m in the tub right now. I have that concert tonight.�
�Yeah, I know. So, tell me. How great did Nick look last night?� Nick? How did she know I saw Nick last night? And why would she ask me that? And why the fuck would she care?
�Nick looked like Nick. Nothing more nothing less I guess. Why did you ask me that?� She giggled,
�He just called me. I suggested Marrakech.� Last time Sarah and I came to Vegas together she took me there. I didn�t much care for it but she was thrilled by it. I much prefer French and American cuisine, in that order. I�m not fond of weird things that look like they could be killed with bug spray.
�Well I�m sure he�ll love it. Although�he doesn�t seem like the type. He comes off as a burgers and fries kind of guy to me.�
�To me as well but he asked me for a nice restaurant. Maybe he�s broadening his horizons.� I smiled,
�Well he can�t go wrong with asking you.� I had to give it to her. Sarah was the epitome of class. Even in jeans and a T-shirt it was obvious she was elegant and from money. Most girls can�t pull that off.
�Thank you. When are you coming back to LA? My mother is sorry the two of you were unable to get together.� Paige was amazing. I loved her dearly. We were the same person. I knew her and I know she gets me. She gets where I came from and all I had to go through.
�I�m sorry too. I love your mother.� I laid one of my feet on the edge of the tub, �After here I�m going back to New York then I have a small break so maybe I can come back out then.� We chatted until Marti came in with her cell phone. People magazine was on the line and I couldn�t keep them waiting.
The finishing touches were being put on my hair, makeup and nails all at the same time as I sat in my beaded chiffon dress. I looked hot. There was no other way to put it. I even shocked myself. It was a sea green color and it set off the tan I got while I was in LA. Not that I tan much. I�m fair skinned and I work with what I have because I refuse to walk around looking orange. I wasn�t meant to look like Sarah with her nearly bronze skin so oh well. Pam walked over and placed a bracelet on my wrist.
�Who is this from?� I admired it. It was gorgeous.
�Swarovski crystal.� She opened another box, �With matching earrings.� The earrings dangled and were a perfect fit with my up do and low neckline.
�Where did these come from?� Marti appeared from over my shoulder,
�They were sent by the local store. They wanted you to wear them; said you are their new muse.� The smile spread across my lips before I knew what was happening. That is what I love. I want designers and labels to want me. I want to be everyone�s first choice. I don�t want to work for the deal, although I have no problem with working, I want the deal to be handed to me because they know I am first rate.
�They aren�t on loan.� I looked at her with slight confusion. If a celebrity didn�t receive goods on loan and they weren�t her own then�
�They are a gift.� She pulled a small card from a box and read,
�Brehan, the splendor of our crystals can only be matched by your own pure beauty. Please accept this gift as a small token of our appreciation for such a magnificent canvas,� Such classy words; words that I want to hear all the time. All my dreams, they are happening. I can feel it, this is my time and nothing is going to hold me back.
