to that big tall building over there?" She pointed to the illuminated top floors of the Empire State peeking out among the other skyscrapers of Manhattan. "We sure are Kisima, all the way to the very tippy top! But we have to hurry, because we have another plane to catch tonight." "Another plane Mr. Jason? Yesssss!" She squealed with delight.
Chapter Seven Melissa was exhausted and apprehensive the following morning. She had hardly slept all night. After she watched Jason on the news with her sister they had talked some more but none of it really helped and she had spent the night tossing and turning before getting up at her usual time of 5am to go through her morning ritual like an automaton. All she could really think about was him. Although she hadn't articulated it clearly in her mind, every part of her that counted knew what her decision was. She would spend the day with him and worry about being found out later. Her heart wouldn’t stop beating and the jitters just wouldn't go away. Find out who he is. She told herself. The thought flashed through her mind. She was amazed she hadn't done it before. She had never snooped for personal information on anyone before, let alone a client but she had never been involved with anyone quite like Jason Demovic before. Screw it. She thought. This is about more than me. What if I can't look after Suzy anymore. The thought made her choke up with emotion. If she couldn't pay Suzy's medical bills she had no idea what would happen to them. She looked at her watch. It was only seven thirty. She still had time. She ran to her laptop, lifted the lid and then held her fingers in mid-air over the keyboard. Still she hesitated. Hadn't she learned enough about him last night watching him address the United Nations? What else did she need to know? The man was a saint and a sex God all rolled into one. But David had said that he had a problem with female therapists and was effectively destroying the careers of not one but two of her peers. Her sister had said something about his interest in women's rights stemming from his father's treatment of his mother. She had watched him climb into a limo with three bimbos, one with no panties on, but then last night she had seen him stand next to her idol, Fernanda Salazar, surrounded by women who he was helping to empower with the financial clout of his personal empire. How did all these pieces of the puzzle fit together? She reached up to close her laptop just as a Facebook PM came through. It was from Suzy. 'Make sure you dress sexy tomorrow. You've got competition! Check out this link.' Melissa took a deep breath. Did she really want to see whatever highly edited piece of internet gossip her sister had sent to her? "Damn it!" She hissed, and then clicked through. It was a video clip on the Fame TV website. There he was again being hounded by the abominable Chauncey Tales. This time he was coming out of an exclusive Manhattan lingerie boutique with a thin and extremely attractive blonde woman on his arm that Melissa recognized as the girl who had been involved in the upskirt-no-panties debacle. The woman didn't look happy. 'Did you buy panties for Beth Lindsay Jason?' Chauncey Tales asked. God that woman is annoying . Melissa prayed she would never meet her in person. She represented everything Melissa did not understand about modern celebrity culture. She marveled at the patience with her that Jason displayed. 'We bought a lot of things Chauncey. In fact we just spent over ten thousand dollars, but that's nothing when it comes to my beautiful baby here.' He turned and kissed the skinny woman next to him. Melissa felt her temperature rise. "Screw you!" She heard herself say, but she couldn't take her eyes off the screen. Damn you Suzy. Her sister could be so insensitive. This was the last thing she needed to see. She paused the video and scrutinized Beth Lindsay. So he likes skinny blondes with blue eyes. Quelle
