(Kevin�s point of view)

There�s something about video shoots that I totally disliked. I hated the early call times, and I truly hated spending the night on set. But somehow I was excited to work with Wayne Isham. Wayne always had the best video treatments, and he always knew how to pick out gorgeous women for his videos.

Around 10:30am, I was discussing my role in the video with AJ. We were joking around about how I was going to be kissing a complete strange in front of a whole crew and the rest of the group. I mean I only saw a snapshot of the woman I was working with, and this girl was beautiful. But I knew she had to have a diva like personality. All the beautiful girls in Los Angeles do. I was about to tell AJ how the girl looked, when I saw her emerge from the make-up room. She was dressed in a short black dress that brought out her gorgeous figure. Her brown hair was flowing, which made her sweet blue eyes sparkle. I kindly smiled so she would notice me, and indeed she did. I noticed how she smiled back at me. Her smile seemed to be really sincere. AJ turned and noticed who it was. He then cursed underneath his breath. �Bone, what�s wrong?� I asked.

�Shit! It�s Pen Monroe! The bitch that broke my heart into a million pieces.� AJ said.

�That woman is the reason why you were really depressed last tour. AJ she doesn�t even like the cheating type.� I said, because I always had good judgment about people. AJ then started to rant about Pen sleeping with another man, and after a few minutes it got irritating. So I decided to walk off and go to the other set. I waited for Pen to show up, and when she finally did she seemed incredibly upset. I noticed her face was red and the expression on her face was startling. I walked over and smiled at her to see if that would calm her down. �What�s the problem precious?� I asked. Pen didn�t answer me, and turned the other way. I was going to ask her again, but Wayne walked over and prepared us for the shoot.

All day long, Pen and I kissed and I must admit the experience wasn�t that bad. She had the softest lips that you could imagine. And I think she had on that girly lip-gloss that was strawberry. It almost made me want to eat her lips. I was truly having a good time, but I don�t think Pen did. I mean every time we kissed, she would tense up. I think it was because AJ was in the same room as us, giving us some messed up looks. I wish I knew the history between those two. AJ said that Pen slept with another man, but somehow I knew there was a different side to the story. Maybe I�ll figure out the truth somehow.

The shoot ended a little after midnight, and it was sort of depressing. I guess it was because I got a little attached to Pen. It was strange because I was somehow attracted to her. I was hoping that Pen was feeling the same way because when the shoot was over she immediately ran to the parking lot. I wanted to chase after her, but I was interrupted by AJ.

�Kev, can you do me this huge ass favor?�

�Sure what is it?� I asked.

�I need to stay here in California for a few days because I�m booked to do a few interviews to talk about my stay in rehab. So, I was wondering if you could house sit at my new beach house for a little bit, you know until I get back.� AJ said very quickly. I agreed because it was a great way to relax and it gave me an excuse to spend some time in Miami. So AJ booked me a flight for two to Miami because he assumed I was still with my girlfriend, Chloe. Thank God I broke up with that girl! She was always clinging to me like she was a puppy. Plus the girl was extremely paranoid whenever I was on tour. She even accused me of cheating while I was at the American Music Awards, and with Britney Spears! Eww! Britney is not my type, and the girl is practically 10 years younger than I am. I like my women to respect my personal space and I love a woman that�s trusting. I like a woman that�s independent and doesn�t rely on me to take care of her. She should be able to take care of herself.

So I said my good-byes to the fellas and to Wayne and an hour later I was off to the airport to Miami.

(Pen�s point of view)

�Cut, that�s a wrap on Miss Pen Monroe and Mr. Richardson!� An assistant director said. Wayne walked over and hugged me and said that I worked really hard today and did an awesome job. Kevin shook my hand and said in his Southern accent, �it was an honor kissing you.�

�Yeah, I enjoyed your kisses too. Kissing you was a lot of fun.� I managed to say right before I saw AJ mouth the word �Skank!� I groaned and said �I need to get out of here.� I then ran out of the sound stage bursting in tears. I was able to reach the parking lot and was able to gain composure. I didn�t know that being in the same room, as AJ would hurt so badly. He doesn�t even want to act civil towards me, because he thinks that I cheated on him. I mean I wasn�t in love with AJ that much, but I would never break his heart. I cared about him too much to do that. But it�s obvious he doesn�t want to feel the same way. He keeps hurting my feelings somehow and is too stubborn to see the truth.

My limo was waiting for me, and just before I entered I took a deep breath. I was off to the airport so I could fly to the Italian Riviera for a few days. I needed a couple of days of rest and relaxation. I had to rest up so I could start filming a new movie with Brad Pitt and Kate Hudson. So an hour later I arrived at the airport, but right before boarding I discovered that my flight was canceled. I groaned and walked over by a window to think to myself. Why do these things always happen to me? I thought good things were supposed to happen to good people yet over the years I�ve been struck with a lot of misfortune. I glanced out the window for about fifteen minutes, and sighed. Suddenly I felt someone rubbing my shoulder �where you headed little lady?� I heard a familiar voice say. I turned around and noticed Kevin looking at me smiling. �You look like you�re lost.� He said.

�I�m not lost. I�m just upset that my flight got canceled. I mean it would be no big deal, but I like have nowhere to go for my vacation.�

�How about joining me in Miami for a few days?� Kevin suggested then reveals two plane tickets.

�Hmm... That�s a pretty tempting offer but I barely know you.� I said.

�I know we�re strangers, but I sort of know a lot about you. I mean AJ�s told me a lot. Although some of things kind of sucked, but maybe you should join me and prove him wrong. And if you end up not liking me I�ll buy you a plane ticket back home� Kevin said, making me agree to join him in Miami. Kevin kissed my cheek and carried my bag onto the plane. When we boarded, I saw the one person that made my skin crawl. I saw the one person that made my life incredibly horrible. Justin from 98 degrees was sitting across from Kevin and I. Justin of course happened to spot us immediately and blew me a kiss. I gagged and Kevin noticed and asked �you know Justin?�

�Unfortunately!� I said. I quickly took my seat by the window and looked away. Justin walked over and said hi to us. Kevin and Justin shook hands and talked for a minute. Justin then looked down at me.

�Hello Penelope.� He said with lust in his voice. Just the sound of his voice made my stomach bubble. I didn�t respond, which made Justin walk away. THANK GOD!

�That was rude of you.� Kevin said. Then he sat down and gave me a confusing look. �What do you have against Justin? He�s a cool guy.� Kevin said. I didn�t say anything back, and continued to look away. I was also trying to hold back my painful tears. Kevin noticed me tensing up and touched my shoulder �Look if you�re having a hard time, just let me know. I�m a great listener.� He said. I still didn�t respond, but instead closed my eyes and allowed a single tear to fall. Kevin wiped it away and wrapped an arm around me. I was happy that I was feeling secure with Kevin. There seemed to be something about him that was sincere and genuine. I sighed and tried to pull myself together. Kevin kissed my cheek and tried to move closer, but it was time for us to put our seatbelts on.
