Diane was loving some things about her new life. For the first time if her life, money wasn't an object. Even more, she could boss her former boss around. After all the crap she had put with Rich over the last few years, now the shoe was on the other foot. And she was loving that. He told her that her husband was a movie star, thus he, and now her, were American royalty. She might as well act like it. She walked with nose up in the air, while Rich followed behind like a servant. He was hating it and that made her even more pleased.<br/><br/>Too bad her personal life wouldn't be what she had always dreamed of. Martin would be able to make sure she never wanted for anything material for the rest of her life. Although women had needs that he was incapable of meeting. He was basically a good guy, but they didn't marry for love. They could be friends, but they would never be in love. And she would never be a mother. She had dreamed of that but...No, it wouldn't be right to have bring a child into her marriage. If she was still with Shane...Diane sighed as she entered the hotel. She and Shane were over, but that didn't mean she didn't miss him. They hadn't been rich, but they had had good times together. Some of the best of her life. They would have been very happy together.<br/><br/>She found Martin saying good bye to some fans had been chatting with. When they were in public, they had to be the loving couple. It wasn't hard for Martin to pretend, he did it for a living. In his movies he pretended to be madly in love with what ever woman was his starring lady. It wasn't that much different in real life, he just pretended the cameras were always on. It would take time for Diane to remember it and get used to it. He wrapped his arm around her waist and gave her a kiss.<br/><br/>"Did you have a good time shopping?"<br/><br/>"Lots."<br/><br/>Diane replied with a grin. She especially loved making Rich her personal bitch. Rich was glad to be back at the hotel, he passed off Diane's bags to a bellboy.<br/><br/>"I'm getting a drink."<br/><br/>Rich grumbled and Martin shook his head as Rich stormed off.<br/><br/>"I take it he didn't enjoy it was much as you."<br/><br/>"I guess not."<br/><br/>Diane replied, not caring at all what Rich thought.<br/><br/>----------------------<br/><br/>Paul smiled heating Colette's cheerful voice. She was a nice change from certain people in Martin's inner circle. Fancy places had never interested Paul much, even if he had been to them many times in his now former job. Fancy places equaled lots of snobs, people that Paul didn't generally like to associate with.<br/><br/>~"It all sounds good to me. I'd rather see Paris the way the people who live here see it, not the way the travel books say to see it."~<br/><br/>It didn't matter how much you spent, as long as you had fun.
