DON'T LET ME GO

chapter 5

I didn't even get to talk to her, how can a successful  grown ass 26 years old singer and movie star be intimidated by a stoned drunk 21 years old spoiled Hollywood brat?

Since i miserably failed at going through with my plan, i figured if i lock myself in this toilet until the stoned out of my mind situation is over i'll have a chance at taking Carmen down, SOBER.
Suddenly three knocks on the door, it opens and closes, someone lean down towards me and try to sweep my hair off my face, i didnt even look up. I knew who just touched me, i have been touched by this hand before, this soft hand wasn't a stranger to me and so in my still stoned drunk voice i said:

- Don't you try to seduce me Carmen Del Rosso.

- From what i've been told you are very hard to seduce Jennifer Lake.

The loud laughter of the girls and the fireworks woke me up, somehow i was teleported or i sleepwalked from my hiding place inside the house to this outdoor cinema setting were aparently i used my enemy as a pillow for about half the evening.

When i started lifting my head off her shoulder Carmen Del Rosso without even blinking in my direction held my hand and pulled me into her arms. Dizzy from everything that i put my body through in this shhort amount of time i sat there watching the fireworks while the rest of the girls were humping and jumping all over the place in a drunken apocalyptic way.

The fireworks show was over and half of the girls already jumped into the pool while the other half raced back to the bar side. I pulled myself away from Carmen and stood up and for the first time, for as long as i can remember, miss Del Rosso came down from her high ivory tower and looked at me like i wanted her to do, finally.

- What?

She didnt answer she just kept looking at me deeper and closer.

- whaaa

I couldn't finish the word i was intending to say, her beautiful face got so close to mine that i couldnt see anything but her clear grey eyes, my lips were locked with hers and i felt tangling in my stomach.

As she held my head to kiss me i thought i'd fall if she'd let me go. Suddenly she stopped, grabbed my arm and started runing towards the house draging me behind her like a loose kite.

When we finaly reached the safety of the house i got myself out of her grib and shouted

-what is wrong with you?

And in a very calm collected way she dropped the P word, my nightmare has officially began

- i think i saw some paparazzi behind the bushes.

I could fucking kill her,

- you think you saw them or you DID see those idiots.

- i am not sure and you have to calm down.

-the fuck i'll calm down, why the hell did you do that? You want to ruin me? If they took a picture of that kiss you are dead Carmen.

As i said that our host came in worried because of the way we were racing back inside

- girls what's going on? why is she dead Jenny? what kiss?

Carmen and i just looked at her both in a mix of confusion and anger. Then again i started talking in a lower voice this time,

- why did you do it Carmen why did you?

-wait what? Carmen kissed you? You've been kissed by your sworn enemy? Carmen you little bitch you couldn't behave two seconds around her huh?

- what you mean? i asked.

then both Carmen and Katty looked at each other in silence without acknowledging my question but i didnt care much what she meant. i decided to cut my weekend short and go home if there is actually a picture of that kiss i need to be as far away from Del Rosso as humanly possible or i'll kill her like i could literally commit the crime. I called both Edward and Elizabeth my assistant on the way home, i needed them to know what happened so we prepare and brace for the impact if the scandal was crushing on my head... after all the speculations those gossip hungry magazines would pay thousands for such a picture... "Jennifer Lake and Carmen Del Rosso the confirmation kiss"

I didn't have to wait until Edward call me back i started getting calls and messages from my tabloids obsessed friends.

"OMG you're really spending 4th of july with the devil?"

"Show her who's the bitch girl"

"Am like looking at the pic but like cant believe it so you guys are like friends and all now?"

Kill me already, if those are my friends what to expect from fans and media. The only good news that's keeping me sane now is that so far there is no kissing pictures what they got is pretty close but you can always deny as long as you're not cought red handed.

I wasnt sure if i couldn't sleep that night because of the anxiety and fear or because i kept replying the evening events in my head or the parts i remember at least and i couldn't help but smile everytime.

It is way after midday, and i am still in bed recovering from the booze and whatever comes with it, my phone is silent but i can feel it illuminating every second and i am thinking whatever it is, it can wait. I only remembered last night's drama when Eddy stormed into my room followed by a very displeased Eli and that in itself announces the disaster. Without even hearing the prophanity coming out of my manager's mouth i grabbed my phone, hundreds of calls and messages as i go through the list quickly i see half of those are from Edward, the other half is the rest of the word and the rest of the word has a certain Carmen Del Rosso that today i hate her on a whole new level.

-get me that bitch number right now Elizabeth RIGHT NOW.
