LeighAnne tapped her foot as she waited in the chair, listening to Kris rant.  She watched the younger woman pace and had to smile.“Kris, Kris, hold up there.”  Kris turned and looked at LeighAnne, her arms crossed and her eyebrows raised up in a silent question.  “Alex wouldn’t do drugs again.  He would lose too much; everyone knows that, even Resa.”  LeighAnne held up her hand as Kris opened her mouth to retort.  “But someone within our group is.  And Resa has to figure out who that is.  Does it help you that I found her in Bri’s dressing room?”  Kris frowned at that.“Bri is the last likely person I could see doing drugs.”“True.  It is her job through to rule everyone out.  How about you talk to her?”“Not unless you wanted to kill me first.”“Than how about you play the comforting girlfriend role and

I turned away from them, once more grabbing the laptop and holding it in my hands, just staring at the picture.“Nick, management won’t tolerate this, you know that.  Now your fans love you, and I know you all haven’t really cared if they approve or don’t approve.  But, I honestly think you need to listen to them this time.  They don’t like her and this was a huge factor.”  His eyebrows shot up and before he could stop it, the words were shooting out of his mouth.“Theresa, I think it’s you who wants Terri out, you have from the start, walking on that stage with that little skirt, yes, it’s been your plan.”  My eyebrows shot up, trying so hard not to laugh.“God, you are such a fool! It is so sad.”  I shook my head, turning back and handing his laptop back to him, letting it slip through my fingers and smirking as it crashed to the floor.  “Oh, Nick,

Nick blinked a couple times, just staring at his son, wondering how in the world his two kids came up with that.  He shook his head to clear it, before smiling at Thomas.“That’s so huh?  You plan on doing something than?”“Yes we do.  Sister hasn’t said what though.  We just want you two back together.”  Nick stroked his son’s hair, looking him over and just realizing how much Thomas looked like a younger Nick.  If it wasn’t for their cubby cheeks or their freckles, and maybe bits and pieces of a certain personality, they wouldn’t have passed as Resa’s kids. “You know, buddy, when mommy and I split, I don’t think we realized how much it would tear you guys up.  I’m sorry.  Mommy and I should have worked on it a little more.”  Nick pulled his son’s head closer and kissed it, enjoying the feel of his strong little arms aroun

I turned my back, covering my mouth, the same as Kris, hoping the laugh wouldn’t come out.  But the moment Terri started cussing and screaming, we couldn’t help, we busted out laughing.“Damn it Theresa, I have a fat lip and a scar on my face thanks to you and now I have food all over me!”“That wasn’t my fault.”  I stood up, laying some money on the table and turning to Terri, looking her over.  “That was yours.  Let me give you a touch of advice, if you want to stay with Nick and all.  Don’t be mean to the fans.  Trust me, at any given moment in time, he will chose the fans over you!”  I gave her a saucy wave, than linked my arm through Kris’s as we walked back to the hotel.“Woah, that woman was heated!”“I know, and it was lovely wasn’t it?”  I smiled all the more as Kris laughed.“Wish I had a camera on

I dived into the pool, yanking up the girl before she could swallow to much water and hefted her up on the edge, quickly getting out and patting her back, letting her cough up the little she did get out.  Terri came up, sputtering and wiping the hair out of her face, as well as the other girls.“You stupid bitch! Terri, she could have died!”“They shoved me!”“And you had no damn right say what you did.”“It’s your word against mine Resa!”“Bull shit, I have proof.  Did you forget D was here?”  At that, her eyes opened wide, turning and seeing Howie sitting on the steps at the shallow end, James patting the water.  “Not to mention the other girls and all the kids!  God, you only think of yourself!  What the hell he sees in a self centered, shallow, uptight, snooty bitch is forever beyond me!  Kids, get your towels, let’s go.”
