A Match Made In Heaven: The Milli Vanilli Story

Sneak Peek Pt.2

January 22, 1990 5:30 pm

Arienna's POV
I let my boyfriend Robert and fabrice change clothes for the American music award in my house. I was preparing myself because I was going as well since I released my first debut album last year. The boys been gone traveling around the world while I had to stay in Hollywood doing movies and becoming a movie producer. The outfit that I picked out was beautiful but more girlish.

I've always worn vintage clothes that people use to wear during the sixties. Last year I won a billboard award, world music award, a Grammy, mtv vma, soul train award, essence award, naacp image award, and more. I was nominated for an Emmy and Tony Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Musical drama film. Last year and the year of 1990 became one of the best years of my life as a celebrity. 1985, and 86 were great years too but this year and last year were the best years. 87 and 88 not so much for so many reasons. Once I jumped on my dress, and shoes I put on my butterfly earrings on and started doing my hair in a vintage way.

I had to make sure I got all the curls in order for my hair to look short. My makeup was perfect just like how I wanted. Once I grabbed my purse Rob came in my room to ask me to help him with his tie.

Rob: Arienna, can you help me with this?

Arienna turns around

Arienna: yeah I can help you with your tie.

Rob closes the door

Rob: I'm sorry I barged in your room like that-

Arienna: no it's okay (walks up to Rob) you're okay. (Fixes Rob's tie perfectly) there you go handsome

Rob: how did you do that?

Arienna: I've been working on how to tie a tie. (Smiles) it's easy but you'll get it.

Rob: you look beautiful. I'm sorry I didn't tell you that first-

Arienna: Rob it's okay.

Rob: no it's not. I didn't even look at you first. (Gently holds Arienna's hand) I want to love you so much. (Puts his hands around Arienna's hip) but we can wait as long as you want to. There's no rush.

Arienna smiles

Rob: You went through too much in your life. We can slow down anytime you want. (Leans then kisses Arienna's neck)

Arienna: (giggles) Rob you're so sweet.

Rob: and you're sweeter. Remember...no one can know about us dating except for fabrice and DuPont. They're the only ones who knows about us dating-

Arienna: I already know that babe. Are you and fab riding in the same vehicle with DuPont?

Rob: yeah. I can ask-

Arienna: no, no, no, no. I have a limo driver who can take me-

Rob: Arienna...

Arienna: I do have one. I'll be fine. The industry can't know. I understand. People will be suspicious if they notice that we're together a lot. That's why we have to ride in different vehicles

Rob: yeah you're right. Are you nervous?

Arienna: no. Are you?

Rob: a little

Arienna: you'll be fine. I promise.

Both hears a knock on the door

Rob: come on in

Fab opens the door

Fab: Robert can you-oh hey Arienna. You look great

Arienna: thank you fabrice

Rob: fabrice what's going on

Fab: can I talk to you for a second rob

Rob: yeah I'm coming. I'll be right back baby (kisses Arienna on the cheek. Rob leaves the room with fab)

Rob: fabrice what is it

Fab: does Arienna know about us lipsynching?

Rob: no why?

Fab: cause I've been so stressed out about the Grammys. I can't even sleep at night. How in the hell are we gonna perform at the Grammys and then the Grammys is live? Live performance...

Rob: I don't know. But we have a vocal coach so we should be fine. I'm stressed about the Grammys too.

Fab: the pressure is getting heavy man. We're over hear living in a dream slash nightmare while frank is almost a damn billionaire.

Rob: I know. And Charles- he's the one who's going to the press telling every one it's him singing on the record when he only did Girl you know it's true and that was it. But let's hope we don't win a Grammy.

Fab: I hope we don't either. Does Arienna know about us taking drugs-

Rob: shh...no. Thank God I'm sober-

Fab: yeah cause you're a different person when you're not sober

Rob: but that's the only way we could cope with this lie. Let's just have a great night and then we can go the after party. Okay

Fab: alright man

Arienna in the background "is everything okay?"

Rob: yeah we're fine babe!

Fab takes a deep breath

Rob: we're about to go downstairs and wait for our driver to arrive

Arienna in the background "alright"

Rob: come on let's go downstairs fabrice

Fab: (takes a deep breath as they walk downstairs)
