Chapter One

"I don't understand, you said you'd be here by time I'd get settle in my hotel room. I'm settled in and your not here" I breathed out annoyed. I stood from my bed and paced back and forth in my hotel suite on the 74th floor.

"Im not mad I'm just disappointed. This all could have been avoided if you had just let me pay for your plane ticket. I would had you in first class on your way here, on time, settled, in my bed, making love. But no, you insist you just take third class on a horrible airline--by the way, and still not here " I wasn't trying to make her feel bad but we could have avoided this.

"Im sorry Lesley, but I just really want to see you and tonight I had everything planned for us." I hung my head low and sat back down on the edge of the bed. I listen to Lesley calm me down and apologize for her mistakes. She promised once she get here that she'd make it up to me so I couldn't really be upset anymore.

"Alright, I'll see you later then, love?" She said yea and hung up. I held my phone in my hand and stared into space for a bit. I thought about my relationship I had with Lesly. She's a great girl and very beautiful. Her smile is one of the best smiles I've ever seen on a woman. But the most I love about her is her hair. It's this scarlet red color-- naturally. When I met her I thought she had just colored it that way but she told me it was her real hair color. I believed her because her roots were always that color so it had to be true. I like that we had the same color eyes, which are bright green.

We met at a art gallery. She was the first thing I saw when I walked in. She was staring at a piece that I didn't know the name of but it somehow made her stand out more. She had on a gorgeous burgundy dress that hugged her small curves perfectly. Her body was perfect. I Remeber the first time we had sex. It was amazing. She looked so beautiful riding me throughout the night. Things did get a little rocky as we had to tend to our work lives. I was a business owner and she was a secretary for a law firm. She, of course, had more free time than me so it was hard to spend time with each other than most couples with regular work lives. We managed to get through it and now we're back to where we used to be.

Im currently in London on a business trip with my two best friends. Joe and Garrett. We've been best friends since freshman year of college. Joe, at 23 took over his father company as C.E.O. Hes now 27.Garrett started his business from scratch and has his own hair product line for women and men. It was around a month or so after graduation that me and Joe found out Garrett was gay. He was scared that we would beat him up or not be his friend and shame him but the only thing we did was laugh. We laughed because he really thought him being gay would be a problem for me and joe. That was when he was 25, he's now 29.

Like Joe, I also took over a family businesses. Instead it was my mother's business. She created the Ferrari. A car which you all know most celebrities have. We all are pretty wealthy if you ask me.

Now that Lesley wasn't going to be here until towrrow at midnight I had time to myself. This trip isn't all about business. It's also a trip to get way from fame. You know, the paparazzi, new reporters, journalist etc. I planned to make Lesley and I connect more and mabe realize that we love each other. It was currently 12:41am so I just decide to shower and go to bed.

***********************************

"Shh! he's ganna hear us"

"Just move to the side and do it there"

"Do it he's waking up!"I shuffled in bed because the sounds of whispering was waking me. "Go!"

What the--what the fuck?! I shot up in bed and landed face first in a pale hairy ass. "What the fück?!" I jerked to the other side of my bed. "God, what the hell Joe!" I held my hand to my nose and squeezed.

"Hahahaha! We got got your ass good!" He laughed. I looked to the front of the bed and seen Garrett joining in on the laughter. I noticed his bright colored pink blazer and funky looking slacks. I rolled my eyes and got up from bed. "What the hell are you wearing?" I looked at the attire that Garrett wa sporting. "This is fashion, hun. I'm a trend setter. Women follow me and I'm not even one of them." he said cockly. "whatever" I rolled my eyes. Garrett is a trend setter for women and some men. "And you, why are dressed like a duche bag,golden boy?" I waved my hand up and down at Joe's outfit of the day. "Because I am a golden man and I could be a duche bag at times, So I need to be dressed for it." He said. "Your a duche" I said and walked into my bathroom. "Whats up your ass?" Garrett asked following me into the bathroom. He leaned against the sink counter while I took a piss. I didn't mind him standing there. This is not the first time I took a piss infront of him. Although that question he asked gave me a nasty shiver. "Nothings up my ass" I said. "Then why are you so.... not happy" I shook my wanker off and placed it back into my boxer. "Lesley," he gave a knowing nod and I continued. "She was suspose to be here last night but didn't take the first class ticket that I bought her so now she's on a shity airline and won't be here around midnight today... or.. tomorrow-- whatever I don't know. The piont is she always wants to take the hard way." I said walking to the showers and turning the water on. I slipped off my boxers and got in. I didn't bother closing the shower curtains. We're all brothers here. "The easy way is not always the right way either" he said. "I know but what's so hard about just using a first class ticket that was already bought for you. All she had to do was get on the plane and she would have been here." "Mabe she doesn't want it to seem like shes using you for your money and privileges. Not all women need a man to supply them with money for their everyday needs or even a plane ticket. This is probably just her way of showing how independent she can be. I mean who doesn't find a independent woman attractive? I know I do and I'm gay" I chucked and washed the shampoo out of my hair.

"Ok independent woman are sexy" I admitted. "But that's doesn't mean I can't spoil her whenever I like. I mean I think... I think I---" "Oh em ghee!!!! Eric is in love with a female human!?" Garrett exclaimed clapping his hands like a teenage girl who just got her first car. Just then Joe came bursting in. "Who's in love!" He laughed looked between me and Garrett. "Nobody" I said not letting him in on our conversation. "Green eyes here" Garrett pionted to me. Joe made a disgusted face that said it all. I knew what he was about to lecture me about. I stopped him before he moved his lips into forming any words. "Stop, I don't want to hear it. I'm not going to keep fücking random girls for the rest of my life. I want to be happy and to have that one person that I love And trust. Then to get married and have a family of my own. I don't know why you think life is all about money, women and parties."I stepped out of the shower and Garrett handed me my towel. I wrapped my towel around my waist. "Thats is what life is about" he said in a duh tone. "No, that a how you survive, it isn't what life's about. You'll figure that out by time your 56 with 7 different babymothers, that you barely know, and 10 children." I walked out to my bed at sat at the edge. Joe and Garrett followed, Joe's at in the couch chair while Garrett stood up. "No, I'll meet someone just not now."He said defensively. "Your hopeless" Garrett said shaking his head. "And you are? Mr. Picky. What happen to Rocky? Wasn't he, like, in love with you?" Joe's said. Garrett rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. "He was a cowboy, I don't do cowboys" Garrett said. "You don't do anything" Joe shot. "You should try that sometime." Garrett said being funny.

I threw on a grey business suite and wet my hands to brush my hair back. I clicked my gold watch to my wrist. I listened as Garrett and joe went back and forth dissing each other. I shook my head, they are always going at it. I walked back out of my closet and into the room. "Guys, please, I don't want to here you guys argue about... your issues. I'm going out to the office." I picked up my briefcase and walked out leaving them in my hotel room.
