Chapter One
Men Never Learn
"Breaking News this morning. Alexandra 'Lexa' Wilson strikes again. She was seen walking down Rodeo Drive with yet another young, rich suitor," the male news caster said.
"I'm sure shopping bags were in tow Adam," the female news reporter chuckled.
"Right you are Susie, and can I just say that every since she graced California with her Oklahoma charm, she has caused a lot of controversy. Women activist are not taking to her display of power over man," Adam read. She laughed because she knew that they were reading off of a prompter, but the look on Susie's face was one of pure disgust. "This should be interesting," she spoke aloud.
"Well I, for one, am with the female activist. There are more ways to display power over man than just using what's in between your legs. She's nothing but a gold-digging slut," Susie answered firmly. Adam was clearly nervous because that was obviously not on the prompter. Lexa laughed, she'd have to remember to talk to her lawyer about the national slander. The studio erupted into a panic. People were telling Adam to cut it to a commercial. Others were trying to get Susie out of the view of the television but she decided to get her frustrations with Lexa out some more, ruining her career.
"Instead of sleeping with all of California, how about you go to college and get several degrees. Or actually get a career like the rest of us self respecting women. I hope she's watching this, hey Lexa instead of selling your virginity to the highest bidder on E-Bay, save yourself for marriage or hell if you were going to sell it at least give the money to a charity. Be a charitable whore," she ranted. Lexa laughed even harder. Susie Chen had to actually be forcefully taken off the screen. The camera focused back onto Adam Welsh, who was as pale as a dead person. You could hear the production crew telling him to wrap it up so they could cut to a commercial, but he was frozen in his uncomfortable pose. He was probably terrified that due to Susie's outburst they were both going to lose their jobs.
"ADAM," someone shouted.
He jumped, "Oh." He laughed trying to play it off. "My sincere apologies to Lexa if she's watching. Not all of us here feel the same way as my co-worker does. I seriously hope she's not watching though. That's it for this morning's news tune back into today at 5pm," he said signing off.
Turning off the TV, Lexa walked into her kitchen to start breakfast. While cooking she decided to finally listen to the 23 messages on her answering machine. Punching buttons she put in her pass-code and started playing the messages.
FIRST UNHEARD MESSAGE: "Lexa you gold-digging bitch, give me ALL my money back. I'm going to the police tomorrow if I don't hear from you by tomorrow morning. Call me back Lexa," Thomas screamed into the phone. He was two boyfriends ago and he was still a bit tender. Lexa don't understand why... he knew the name people had given her. Hell, she had even made business cards, but he thought he could be the one to tame the beast. Laughing, she shook her head. Men never learned.
SECOND UNHEARD MESSAGE: "Lexa. It's Michael. Baby please answer the phone I know you're sitting there listening to this. I'm so sorry about everything, you were right. It was way to early to talk about love. It's just I feel like we have this connection and I didn't want to lose it. I promise I wont act jealous and territorial anymore. Please just call me back. I lov- just call me back when you get this." Michael was after Thomas, and his one down fall was that he wanted love and Lexa didn't want love she just wanted sex and money.
The next 20 messages were all the same, either an ex-boyfriend was mad at her or wanted her back. Either way they weren't getting any type of reply. She was sick of explaining herself to these men like they didn't already know what they were getting themselves into. Did she need to post a sign to her forehead that said Heartbreaker on it? They all thought that once they gave her some of their dick she'd be all googly eyed and ready to say I do. WRONG! There were three rings in marriage. The engagement ring, the wedding ring, and the suffering and Lexa only wanted the first two without the commitment and monogamy. The last ring was for the birds because the only ones who were gonna suffer would be the guys who had their heart broken. She was only a rip 20years old. Why would she settle down in her prime. She thought about what Susie Chen said about selling her virginity. She did sell it on E-Bay for a million, which was less that what she already had, but what people didn't know was that she actually did give most of the money to charity. The Make-A-Wish Foundation. She liked knowing that out there somewhere kids were getting to go places and do things that she never got to. She smiled at thought, then she hit the button to play the last message.
