London

Roger's POV

"This looks good..."  I told Jimmy as we sat and watched the final edit of his new music video.  I had produced a single for Jimmy Nail during our hiatus from the tour and we had shot a music video a few weeks back.  I was proud of my work on 'Love Don't Live Here Anymore.'  He stopped by to show me the final version.  I had done a cameo as his drummer in the band.  My buddy Rick Parfitt had joined in as the guitarist.  Jimmy smiled at me.

"Just so you know I'm glad you're stuck in the back of the shot..."  Jimmy told me with a wry smile.  "You're too good looking and a distraction from the real star..."  he teased.  I shoved his arm and he laughed.  

"I think Freddie feels the same way Jimmy..."  Rick remarked.  

"Fuck you!"  I told Rick as I shoved him as well.   We all chuckled as we sat in my office in London.  The buzzer on my intercom sounded so I leaned over and pressed the button.  "Yes?"  I asked.  

"You have a visitor..."  Maggie announced.  My secretary was always so professional.  Too formal.  I smirked as I answered.

"Who is here to visit?'  I questioned back in a professional tone.  

"Miss Beyrand is here..."  she advised.  

"Please send her back..."  I instructed and released the intercom button.  Rick snickered.

"Miss Beyrand..."  he commented with amusement at the formality.  "I don't know why haven't married that one..."  he remarked to me.  Jimmy appeared curious.

"Is this his girlfriend?"  Jimmy questioned.  Rick nodded and wolf whistled.  I shoved him again.

"She's a looker...eh?"  Jimmy asked.

"A stunner!"  Rick answered as there was a door knock and it opened.  Dom stepped in smiling and then was surprised to find me not alone.

"Oh!"  she said in surprise as she eyed the other men.  "I didn't know I was interrupting something..."  she stated.  

"We're just back here having a circle jerk!"  Rick joked.  I thought it was a bit much but Dom just grinned at him.

"Oh! And are you the jerk in your little circle?"  she questioned with a touch of sarcasm.  I swatted Rick and Jimmy made a sound of pain.

"She got you Parfitt!"  Ouch!"  Jimmy remarked as we laughed at our friend getting taken to task by Dominique.  Rick stood up.

"I'm going to leave before she completely takes me down!"  he commented.  Jimmy got up as well.

"Let's be off then..."  Jimmy said as he walked towards Dominique and held out his hand to her.  "Jimmy Nail...and I guess you are the Queen of retorts?"  he questioned with amusement.  Dom smiled and shook his hand.

"The only Queen is this room is over there..."  she replied and eye gestured at me.  We all laughed as the men waved goodbye and left my office.  

"You sure are quick off the mark Miss Beyrand!"  I commented as she came over and sat on the desk and looked down at me in the swivel chair. 

"I have to be in this business..."  she replied.  I leaned forward and rested my hands on her knees.  Peering up into her pretty brown eyes.
