Chapter 3 3

"You have been running around a lot lately," Kennedy said as the music was playing in the background, taking a sip of the beer in his hand.

"Yeah, I have been making arrangements for Kylie, the female lead. We go way back," Jessica explained.

She had gone ahead to the meeting place, but it seemed that Kylie had either been late or had changed her mind.

"Why are your eyes fixed on the door?"

"I invited Kylie over earlier, but I have not set eyes on her yet," Jessica replied. They were seated at the bar, so she had a good view of the entrance in case Kylie actually came. "I did not see you at the meeting earlier, what were you doing?"

"I was there, but I left right after the meeting, I had some things to take care of," he said, changing the subject. "So this your girl, I have not heard anything about her. What does she look like, do you know anything about her?"

"I am sorry I can not reveal any information about her, but she's beautiful and that's all I can say. Do not worry, you'll meet her soon enough and I think you'd like her," Jessica said mischievously.

Kennedy looked puzzled. "Jessica, I hope you are not planning on doing anything shady. You have already played enough games with my lifeby setting me up with all your single friends."

Jessica just laughed, "I promise you I do not have anything up my sleeve this time."

"Good, and it will stay that way. I am not interested in getting involved with anyone, certainly not someone who would not stay," Kennedy said firmly.

"We will see," Jessica replied confidently.

They would be perfect for each other, but he did not know that yet.

Just as she finished speaking, she saw Kylie coming through the door. She was dressed very nicely in her black dress.

Jessica tried to wave at her as soon as their eyes met to show where she was. She smiled and was about to walk toward them, but someone intercepted her.

"Is that your girl?" asked Kennedy.

"Yep, that's her," replied Jessica.

"Wow."

"Told you. Who's the guy she's talking to?" asked Jessica.

"Him? That's Justin; he's in the movie too," replied Kennedy.

"Oh, that Justin. I heard he's a bastard who always sleeps with the girls on the set. Is that true?"

"Could be. What girl would not want to sleep with someone so famous and handsome?"

"My girl for sure."

Kennedy burst out laughing, "Do you really think she wouldn't? I mean, look at the way they talk. Okay, let us make a bet: I'll give you fifty dollars if she kisses him before she gets here, if she actually does."

"Wow, that's really a lot of money."

Did he really want to play this game? He did not know Kylie, the girl has a short temper.

"I bet you she'll slap him right on the cheek where he's standing. But just one thing: if I win, you'll do everything I ask you to do." said Jessica.

"To sweeten the deal, I'll give you both the money and do what you ask anyway."

He was damn sure no girl would turn that down, and certainly not someone who looked that wild. He would not lie, the girl looked damn good and he really wished in a tiny part of his heart that Jessica would win the bet. He wanted her to be different, but he did not know where that would come from.

"Deal," Jessica said with a smile. He had wanted it that way.

Kylie felt like she had made a wrong decision to come here. She should not have let it get her down and should have continued to rest. She did not feel like partying and socialising, especially not when she had to learn to dance in a week, but she had given her word and could not go back on it, so she was here.

As she entered the club, she saw some people dancing on the floor. Ugghh! She wondered how people got so good at it while she was so bad at it. She continued on her way and looked around for Jessica. Oh, there she was, right at the bar, beckoning her to come over. Thank goodness it did not take long to find her, considering how crowded the place was.

"Hello, Sexy," a voice said, snapping her out of her thoughts.

"Are you talking to me?" she asked, trying to get a good look at the person who had stopped her.

"Yes, Sexy," the guy replied. "What do you say we find a quiet place and talk, if you know what I mean," he said smugly.

Kylie was offended at what he had implied. Who did this guy think he was to talk to her in this way?

"I am sorry, but do I know you?" she asked, still trying to be nice and polite.

"You'll know me well enough once I stick my cock up your ass."

Oh, now he was really doing it, and she was trying to be nice while this guy was a total creep. She raised her hand and gave him a resounding slap that could be heard far beyond the music.

"Next time, you should know who you are talking to before you say such disgusting and demeaning words," Kylie said, giving him another slap to make sure she got her point across.

"Bitch," Justin shouted, holding his cheeks.

Never before had a girl embarrassed him in this way. "You do not know who you just messed with. You just made the biggest mistake of your life."

"Really," Kylie laughed. "Your mama should have taught you manners and how to treat a lady."

"You fucking whore," Justin said angrily. He lunged at her and tried to grab her, but she just dodged him.

Security saw the commotion and came to her rescue, "Ma'am, is this man bothering you?"

"He is, but I think I have the situation under control," Jessica replied with a smile.

"He will not bother you anymore, miss."

"You do not know who you just messed with. I am going to kick your ass!" Justin yelled at her as he struggled with the security guards, but they managed to take him out.

"I'd like to see that," Kylie said, continuing on her way.

She had been right not to come along. Let us see what happens now; she needed a drink to cool off. She headed for the bar where she had last seen Jessica before that asshole had stopped her. What an impertinence of him.
