The Sweetest Drug (On Hold..... maybe)

Part 9

Déjà vu, as fate would have it the club they are now in, sits atop the Santa Monica bluffs with access to a small private beach. He smiles and sighs N:"Yeah, you got it bad" Julia gives Shannon a wicked little grin and heads to the staircase, she takes off her shoes and waits. Shannon chuckles, mischief in his eyes, Nina looks at Julia over her shoulder and smiles. She gives Nina a nod and giggles, Nina turns her attention back to Shannon N:"What are you waiting for, go get her tiger" he smiles sweetly at her and kisses her cheek S:"Thank you sweet sis" Nina returns his kiss N:"Whatever for darling" S:"The swift kick in the ass, I needed it" and with that he makes his way over to Julia but not before rescuing two wine glasses from a passing tray. Nina leans against Jared's chest and his arms go around her J:"She's a good fit for him" N:"Yes she is" J:"Do you think she can tame him?" N:"I think she already did, just like I already tamed you" She brings her hand up to his neck and reaches for his lips J:"Mmmm.......that you have my love, that you have" and he savors her lips.

Across the room he sips on a scotch on the rocks and watches, Him:"You should really take a picture Chris it'll last longer" C:"Mind your own Liam, if I want your opinion I'll ask for it" L:"Hey I'm not the idiot that let her go" C:"But you are the idiot that's been carding around that little slut like she's Grace Kelly" L:"Ouch that hurts, besides I broke it off months ago remember" C:"About bloody time, what the hell did you see in her anyway?" L:"Don't know maybe I just felt like being a rebel" Chris downs the last of the scotch and ask the bartender for another. The bartender sets another drink in front of him but not before he gives Chris some friendly advice B:"Maybe you should slow down a bit" Chris looks at him coldly C:"And maybe you shouldn't tell me how to drink" L:"You do realize getting plastered is not gonna get her back?" He looks at his little brother as if to say really then turns his attention back to Nina, C:"I know" But he wants her back and he would have had her if it wouldn't have been for Leto. Liam was right, he was an idiot to let her go, his heart and his body still ached for her. It might already be too late but he wasn't giving her up without a fight.

Being Hollywood's it boy came with it's perks but it also came with it nuisances. Photographers followed Jared everywhere and by association Nina. they were now the IT couple, once that photo shoot hit the media mainstream the rumors starting spreading like wild fire. It is then than one Chris Hemsworth finds out his ex is no longer available. Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, The ten o'clock news, even the paparazzi, you name they were talking about it. Jared debuted their pictures at an art Gallery to preview his upcoming project. Before she even got there everyone was wondering who she was and if she was his new lady love. When she arrived "fashionably" late all eyes were on them cameras on the ready, flashes going off and questions galore, "What's you're name sweetheart" "Is she your girlfriend Mr. Leto" "How long have you two been together" "Where did you two meet" etc.

J:"Please please one at a time. But first of all I want to thank you all for coming, the pictures you see before you are a part of a small independent cinema graphical production I am currently working on. This exquisite beauty next to me was kind enough to pose with me for this photo shoot and if I do say so myself she more than surpassed my expectations." He puts his arm around her and pulls her close. She leans into his embrace and blushes as the cameras begin their frenzy again. "Over here sweetheart" "Jared over here" "Mr. Leto you've yet to tell us her name" he smiles and holds her close and kisses her temple as the cameras continue to snap away.

But it wasn't those pictures that let the cat out out the bag sort of speak, but rather a different set of pictures taken by a lucky paparazzi after the art show. Nina and Jared were lost in each other's embrace stealing kisses here and there. Chris was having lunch at a local eatery, the tv turned on to a celebrity entertainment show. He's halfway through his grilled bass and salad when hears a familiar name, announcer:"Well it seems the rumors are indeed true Hollywood It boy Jared Leto and his photo shoot co-star only known as Nina are indeed a couple. The two were caught cuddling and stealing kisses after the art show Friday night. They met for the first time on the set and have been inseparable ever since" his eyes stung his ego bruised, he takes out a twenty, leaves it at the table and walks out the door.
