				<div class="floatleft">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/iconofroses/RoslynHayes.png)</div> <em>"Coming up at the top of the hour, America's Sweetheart, Roslyn Hayes, is seen in some wildly outrageous photographs from a party hosted last night by Hollywood bad boy, Caleb Wagner ... "</em><br><br>"Wait.&nbsp; No curtains."&nbsp; Loudly twenty-five year old Roslyn Hayes groaned as she turned her pale blond head and buried her face further into the mound of soft pillows, sleep having been tugged away with the first sounds of the television coming to life.&nbsp; She didn't need to peek up to know it was her butler coming in precisely when he should be, just a little before eight o'clock, and realized she'd forgotten -- in all her drunken glory -- to leave him a message not to wake her up this early.&nbsp; Today, however... oh, was her head pounding.&nbsp; It couldn't have been more than a few hours since her driver had brought her back to the multimillion dollar Beverly Hills estate.&nbsp; She didn't even remember making it up to her four room Master bedroom suite.&nbsp; Stretching just a little and feeling the shift of last night's ensemble against her skin told her she hadn't managed to undress before collapsing into bed.<br><br>"Please, Alec, just..."&nbsp; Moistening her lips, she blindly felt above her head for the television's off switch in the panel built into the wall the large bed sat against, and tilted her head just enough to squint through the white silk curtains that surrounded the bed.&nbsp; "A few more hours.&nbsp; Canceled today's photo shoot.&nbsp; Need sleep.&nbsp; Head hurts.&nbsp; Will want waffles."&nbsp; A sigh of pure relief swept through her as the curtains closed, the bedroom once more shrouded in darkness.&nbsp; Oh, that was better.&nbsp; Much better.&nbsp; <br><br>"Yes, miss, binge drinking will often lead to such results.&nbsp; I believe your assistant should be here momentarily.&nbsp; What shall I tell her?"&nbsp; The butler's dryly amused tone had her lips tiredly quirking even as sleep was begging to drag her back down.&nbsp; In the seven years he'd been working for her, Alec never failed at imposing his opinion in such subtle (or not so subtle) ways.&nbsp; Patiently he waited near the beside, a quick look given down at the young woman to reassure himself she wasn't about to start retching up the remnants of all the alcohol she'd over indulged in last night.&nbsp; Showing his concern wouldn't do a whit of good, he knew.&nbsp; It wasn't often she was like this and the fact the behavior had been increasing with some regularly over the past few months was alarming but ignored by her.&nbsp; <br><br>"That I had fun," came the mumbled words as Roslyn buried her face back into the pillow while hugging another one into her.&nbsp; "And she should thank me for giving her something to do today."&nbsp; As if being the personal assistant and essential caretaker to the darling of Hollywood and Oscar winner wasn't enough.&nbsp; In the ten years since Roslyn had first made her splash onto the silver screen this was the fifteenth assistant she'd had to hire.&nbsp; Granted, losing the first four in the first two years of her career wasn't her fault; back then her parents had most of the control, up until she'd hit sixteen, was granted legal independence from them, and sent them off to a beach in life long retirement without any peeps of complaints.&nbsp; The other ten assistants, however, could be left at her door.&nbsp; Or maybe theirs for simply being unable to either keep up with her and her life, or having taken the position with all the wrong sort of mentality.&nbsp; <br><br>Though, she had a feeling her current assistant wasn't going to be thrilled.&nbsp; Roslyn had only hired her on less than a year ago and so far truly couldn't murmur a word of complaint.&nbsp; The woman kept her on time, her schedule managed, personal and public affairs in order, had her PR agents wrapped around her finger, and more often than not could give an answer for Roslyn that would have been precisely what Roslyn herself would have said.&nbsp; She never complained when her workdays seemed endless, mirroring Roslyn's own sixteen to twenty hour days when a film was in production or they were jet setting across the globe for promotions, and seemed to take the starlet's sometimes unpredictable mood swings in stride. <br><br>Last night's events, however, were going to be a possible PR disaster and yet... Roslyn couldn't quite seem to care.&nbsp; She'd been stressed, invited to a party (from someone whose reputation was entirely opposite of hers, but that was besides the point) where she may or may not have indulged beyond high amounts of alcohol, and may or may not have been caught on camera giving a lap dance (or two) to Hollywood's bad boy, or stripped down to her bra and panties with him before they splashed into the pool.&nbsp; She also may or may not have kissed a member of the paparazzi who'd been lurking outside the bad boy's estate gates, but that she really couldn't recall with clarity.&nbsp; What did she know was that for one night she'd simply been carefree, hadn't felt herself being overwhelmed with pressure, building responsibilities, and the restrictions of her chosen life.&nbsp; <br><br>It'd been one night of glorious, carefree freedom that would have to last her till... Well.&nbsp; Until she decided she needed it again, though hopefully without any blasted pictures being taken.&nbsp; With a sigh, Roslyn shifted on the bed, hugged the pillow closer to her and began to drift back to sleep.&nbsp;

				<div class="floatright">(http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/241/96375522.jpg)</div> "Please tell me they're talking about another American's Sweetheart," her voice mumbled as she spat out the toothpaste she had in her mouth, raising her head and looking into the mirror, which reflected that large TV in her bedroom. Her eyes widened as she caught the news feed, seeing the footage. Dani did not have to see it all. She caught the gist of it. And it was enough to make her debate sliding back into bed and calling in sick. For the week.<br><br>Rinsing out her mouth, she shut off the water and wiped her hands, ignoring the chuckles and the light banter between the news cast on behalf of her Employer. A few things had been proven to Daniella Santos when she had become employed by the famous Roslyn Hayes. One of them being that she didn't think she was cut out for this business. It wasn't the tiring work or the countless hours. Or the fact that she had a non-existent personal life because if her boss said jump she was supposed to respond with <em>'how high?'</em> and <em>'how far?'</em>. It was the fact that...Roslyn Hayes was a bitch. A bitch with a capital B and evil little devil horns.<br><br>When Dani had first applied for the job she had been certain that she wouldn't have gotten it. She had just ended a great working relationship with a British Actress who was now settling down and had retired from acting. The age difference hadn't bothered the Actress since she said Dani 'Kept her young'. When the call had come back from Roslyn's last assistant, Dani had been surprised and excited. The money was certainly more and now she was running along the same circles as the assistants from the List A Celebrities. This had been a blessing...or so she had thought. Until she had learned just how spoiled and self-centered Roslyn was. The relationship that Dani had built ended when her boyfriend couldn't compete with the demands of her work. And Dani had been okay with it, because she wanted to prove to herself that Roslyn was NOT going to fire her like she had everyone else. If and when Dani decided to leave, it would be under her terms. <br><br>But now...every day it was something new. The photo shoot wasn't done to her satisfaction. The coffee was too hot. The sun was too bright. Dani had dealt with it because the money was great, but now it was becoming slightly ridiculous. She couldn't help but wonder if Roslyn was doing this on purpose. Did she have nothing better to do? Glancing at her watch, she winced, seeing that she was going to be late to Roslyn's if she didn't get a move on. Slipping her black heels on, she reached for her stack of papers and her purse and made her way to the Garage. Glancing back at her new condo that she had recently purchased, she couldn't help but wonder if she really was getting tired of Roslyn's drama or if the money would continue to make it worth it. She was a sell out. But she wasn't ready to give up on HER lifestyle just because Roslyn needed a reality check. No, she would just give the actress a major dose of real life.<br><br>The drive to the large Mansion was relatively quick. She had made sure to purchase the condo a few miles from her boss but still close enough that she could arrive within minutes. As she pressed the key code to the gate, she saw a few paparazzi's beginning to arrive. Muttering a curse under her breath, she quickly zoomed up the driveway and parked, shutting the door and making her way inside before she heard the yells and the screams for 'comments'.<br><br>"Where is she?" Dani asked as soon as she saw Alec. The moment she had stepped through the front doors she had noticed one thing. It was quiet. Way too quiet for it to mean anything good. Glancing at the butler before she glanced up the stairs, she didn't wait for an answer, "Oh no. No, she's not going to lay around in bed while I have to go make nice. She has a schedule to keep." Making her way up the flight of stairs she called back to Alec, "Start a cup of coffee and add a shot of espresso to it. Please bring it upstairs." Not waiting for his reply, Dani walked swiftly to the Master Suite and pushed the door open.<br><br>"Roslyn, get up," Dani said loudly, walking over by the bed and pressing the buttons for the curtains to slide open. She reached for the covers of the bed and dragged them down, flinging them to the floor. Seeing her boss in bed with the same clothes she had on from the previous night albeit definitely more wrinkled than normal, caused Dani to groan. "Get up. You have the photo shoot with Maxim in less than two hours and we're supposed to be there in half an hour. You're NOT canceling. You've canceled once. You're not going to do it again."<br><br>Sometimes with her boss, she had to be treated with kid gloves. Other times, she had to be manhandled. Dani set her purse and keys on the dresser and walked into the large bathroom, turning the shower on. Grabbing a large cup next to the sink, she filled it up with cold water and walked back to the bedroom.<br><br>"Roslyn! Up! Now!" And with that, she poured the cold water over Roslyn's sleeping form.

				Quite loudly she whimpered when the blankets were thrown off her and light flooded the room.&nbsp; Immediately her eyes squinted as they flew to Dani, hands grasping for blankets that weren't there.&nbsp; She should have known Dani wouldn't accept what she'd told Alec, or the mere fact that she was still in bed.&nbsp; Still, couldn't the woman have some sympathy?&nbsp; Even a tiny bit?&nbsp; Softly she whimpered and closed her eyes against the sunlight.&nbsp; Maybe, just maybe, she could talk her assistant into letting it go for just today.&nbsp; Why hadn't she just told Alec to lock the doors and tell Dani to take the day off?&nbsp; Surely that would have been a simpler solution.&nbsp; <br><br>"What the hell, Dani!&nbsp; Oh!&nbsp; <em>Ow</em>."&nbsp; It ended with a whimper and a wince as the loud sound pierced her throbbing head.&nbsp; Turning onto her stomach she buried her head back into the pillows to attempt to block some of the blasted sunlight.&nbsp; Bloody hell, it hurt.&nbsp; That was the last time she drank strictly tequila, not if this was going to be the results.&nbsp; Just as she'd started to slip back into sleep, hanging right onto the fringes when all the sudden the ice cold water splashed over her. With a loud shriek Roslyn sat up in the bed, an instant shudder rippling down her curved form.&nbsp; She nearly toppled over the side of the bed, barely catching herself before shoving a hand through the tumble of blond hair. <br><br>"That was entirely unnecessary, Dani!&nbsp; One hundred percent very unwarranted!"&nbsp; Sharply she winced again, her own pitched tones intensifying the throb in her temples.&nbsp; Squeezing her eyes together, she pressed her finger tips to the bridge of her nose and let out a shuddering sigh.&nbsp; "<em>Please</em>... Nothing today.&nbsp; No questions.&nbsp; No photo shoots.&nbsp; No press.&nbsp; No anything.&nbsp; All I want to do is crawl back into bed, sleep away this hang over, read a couple of scripts and stay home.&nbsp; Can't we just ... reschedule things and you can work out everything?&nbsp; It's your job, isn't it?"&nbsp; One could tell the moment she knew she'd spoken out a little too much; it flashed through her bright blue eyes and had her grimacing.&nbsp; What was with her these past months?&nbsp; <br><br>Roslyn held her silence as Alec made his return, a porcelain glass of coffee and a medium size carafe, both set with care onto the nearby nightstand.&nbsp; A single twitch of her nose told her he'd made her French Vanilla coffee, her favorite.&nbsp; Mutely she picked up the cup and sauce as she rose from the bed and made her way toward the adjoining bathroom. "I'm taking a shower but there's no way I'm going to that photo shoot.&nbsp; I distinctly remember someodd weeks ago initially saying I didn't want to do Maxim anyway.&nbsp; Strange how I somehow <em>still </em>ended up tied up with them."&nbsp; The remarks were punctuated as she closed the door without another look behind her, entirely missing Alec's brief upward look.&nbsp; Immediately she let out a long sigh before taking a long sip of the flavored coffee, only then raising her eyes up to the generous, Spanish tiled bathroom with its corner waterfall shower.&nbsp; <br><br>Minutes later she was slipping nude under the hot spray of water and merely sank down onto the curve seat in the corner, absorbing the steam of the shower and letting her muscles slowly relax.&nbsp; As she had zero intentions of going to the photo shoot, she saw nothing wrong with taking her dear sweet time in the shower.&nbsp; Maxim be damned.&nbsp;

				"<em>My job</em> is to make sure you're not the laughing stock of Hollywood, Roslyn," Dani said loudly at the close door, her onyx eyes flashing with irritation. "<em>My job</em> is to make sure that the little stunt you pulled last night gets brushed under the carpet like it never happened. <em>My job</em> is to make you money. And Maxim is offering double their price last month and you don't even have to wear a skimpy bathing suit." Dani began to look around for Roslyn's cell phone, knowing that if she could look through it, she would be better able to access the damage. Damn technology these days. It's bad enough the paparazzi's get the juicy details but now with Camera/Video phones the risk of even more exposure was higher. Nothing says wild night like a video on youtube of how 'carefree' the night was. Grinning in triumph as she found the cell phone in the mess of covers on the bed, she also called out sharply, "And considering you're thinking about doing that action flick, what better way than to show off your body on Maxim? Trust me Roslyn, this is good for your career."<br><br>She didn't know why she was explaining things to Roslyn. Truth of the matter was, she would force her to go to that damn photo shoot and that was that. The last couple of weeks, Dani had learned how to handle the young Starlet. She stopped babying her when Roslyn embarrassed her one too many times. She couldn't recall how many times she had promised Directors and Producers that the star was 'on her way' only to find out that Roslyn and her latest boyfriend decided to take a trip to Maui for the weekend. Leaving Dani to deal with the press and the backlash. No no, Dani knew better. If she needed the Hollywood Actress to be somewhere, Dani went with her. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Shaking her head, she began to flip through the cell phone, noticing a few scandalous pictures but nothing that would make front line if someone else were to sell it. Hell, they would be seeing way less after the Maxim shoot. With a grateful sigh, Dani reached under the bed and plugged the phone to charge, knowing that if Roslyn left and it was&nbsp; half charged she would throw a fit.<br><br>Reaching into her purse, she pulled out her own cell phone and quickly dialed the number to Maxim. "Julie? Hey Dani here. No no," she assured quickly as she walked over to the bathroom and banged on the door. "We're not canceling, I promise. We're just going to be a little bit late. Look, don't worry when she gets there she'll be ready." Glancing at Alec she silently mouthed 'Call limo' and sighed in relief when he walked off after a nod. "I understand completely, Julie. She won't cancel. I just wanted to call you and let you know she's going to be running a little bit late but she will be there. And we're excited about the photo shoot! I was thinking though, maybe she can used the blue sparkly bathing suit? I think it'll go better with her eyes and it'll help today. You know how she likes to sparkle." Dani sighed in relief when she heard Julie laugh, ceasing the tension in her voice. "Alright, Jules. I'll see you in about an hour. I'll bring you some Starbucks, I'm sure she's going to want some. Text me what kind you like." Quickly hanging up, Dani made her way out of the bedroom and into Roslyn's closet.<br><br>Flicking the light on, she stopped and waited for all of the lights to come on. Shaking her head in slight amusement, she wondered when the hell Roslyn's closet had gotten bigger. She wasn't looking for anything fancy, since Roslyn was headed to a photo shoot where they would fix her up. Grabbing a pair of black Gap yoga pants and a pink tank top, she held them in one hand as she glanced around her shoes. Not wanting to put socks on her feet, she brought out a pair of black Baby phat 'Effie' sandals. Glancing at her watch, she rolled her eyes. If Roslyn didn't think that she knew what the hell she was doing, then she had another thing coming. Turning off the light of the closet, she pushed opened the double doors next to the closet that lead into the bathroom. Standing with the clothes in her hand, she looked at her Boss.<br><br>"If you think I'm above getting in there and dragging you out, you're mistaken, Ros. Come on, I have coffee waiting for you outside and some aspirins. You need to get dressed and then we're headed to the Maxim shoot. I'll pick you up some Starbucks on the way." Arching an eyebrow she commented in a slightly threatening tone, "Do you need me to count to five?"

				<strong>"</strong>No, you don't need to count to five,<strong>"</strong> Roslyn muttered, her eyes sweeping heavenward as she first heard rather than saw Dani come into the bathroom.&nbsp; The woman certainly didn't give up, she had to give her that.&nbsp; Still, the starlet didn't immediately exit the shower, instead running the soapy loofah over her arms, shoulders and over her breasts, despite that she'd already done so at least three times before, and letting it slowly rinse off before she finally reached over to turn off the hot spray of water.&nbsp; Opening the glass doors to the shower, she stepped out dripping wet onto the mat and raised her eyes to Dani, then flickered them to the clothing she held up before reaching for the nearby towel to begin drying off.&nbsp; <strong>"</strong>And somehow here I was thinking having two Oscars, three Golden Globes, and five SAGs sitting on my shelves with the other commendations meant I wasn't a laughing stock.&nbsp; One wild night won't ruin it all, will it?&nbsp; No.&nbsp; Call Maxim on the way.&nbsp; Let's do a nude shoot.<strong>"</strong><br><br>The clothes she took, except for the pink top, as she headed back into the bedroom, her pace still lingering though not excruciatingly slow; a quick detour was made into the extensive wardrobe where she took down a pale green camisole, her towel discarded into the laundry basket on her way back out into the bedroom and exchanged for her short silk robe that she left untied, clearly unashamed to be nude before her assistant or her butler, who came back in with his hand covering the mouth piece of the estate phone.&nbsp; The single look in his eyes told Roslyn precisely who was on the line and she merely gave a shake of her head as she sat down at her vanity and sipped gratefully at the waiting coffee.&nbsp; That was probably her sister, or her brother, maybe an aunt, uncle or one of her few cousins, maybe even one of her parents, but regardless it was someone who'd already seen last night's photos and were worried -- worried that their share of her fortune might be damaged.<br><br>As if any of them were getting their greedy hands on a single dime, she thought with a snort, wincing when she accidentally drew the comb through her hair a little too hard.&nbsp; <strong>"</strong>I hope you're wearing walking shoes, Dani, or have plans for after the shoot since I intend on devoting at least four to six hours to shopping.&nbsp; Maybe more.&nbsp; Want to come with?&nbsp; My treat.&nbsp; Maybe try out the new restaurant on Rodeo.<strong>"</strong>&nbsp; As she spoke Roslyn carefully finished combing her hair before massaging in her facial lotion before applying some to her arms and shoulders, rubbing it in quickly but thoroughly.&nbsp; <strong>"</strong>Actually!&nbsp; Better idea.&nbsp; Fly up to San Francisco.&nbsp; Shopping, dining, and be home at least relatively sometime after midnight.&nbsp; Though, I really would like to go to Disneyland one of these days.&nbsp; Maybe if I dye my hair for a day and keep on sunglasses... <strong>"</strong>&nbsp; Roslyn finished with an arch of her brows and a subtle quirking of her lips to Dani before she rose from the vanity and began to dress.<br><br>A few minutes later she was slipping her feet into the sandals while transferring her cell phone, wallet, lip balm, pack of Juicy Fruit, and compact into her purse of the day.&nbsp; Grabbing her pair of pink designer sunglasses, a signature of diamonds trailing along the rims and sides, she flicked a glance to Dani before leaving the bedroom and heading down to the waiting limo.&nbsp; She gave Alec a somewhat cheery smile while accepting the travel mug of flavored coffee that would hold her over on caffeine until they reached Starbucks.&nbsp; <strong>"</strong>Come along, Dani, we wouldn't want to be any later than we already are,<strong>"</strong> she called out over her shoulder, her tone thick with sarcasm as she sailed out the front door of the estate and to the limo.&nbsp; Oiy, this was going to be a long day.

				Eyes raised heaven-wards, Dani silently counted to five. And when that didn't work, she bumped it up to ten. Now Roslyn wanted to do a nude shoot. This wasn't playboy! Biting her tongue, she watched her employer get dressed and rattle off about going shopping. Shopping, of course. What often cured what ailed Roslyn? Spending her hard earned money. Not that Dani had a problem with that; especially because when Roslyn was out and about with HER, she didn't get into trouble. Not often. Still, did she really want to go out the day after her little adventure? Dani hadn't even had time to call their publicist and make sure everything was being taken care of. Though...she figured she could do that while they were in the shoot. It would be cutting it close, but perhaps the press would lap it up? She was almost certain of it.<br><br>"If you want to go to Disneyland so bad, you can simply go during one of the charity events," Dani said as she leaned against the doorway, watching as Roslyn transferred her purse items to her new bag. "That's actually not a bad idea, we can set up a charity called 'Roslyn's Kids' and have you go with about five children to Disney for the day. Not only will it benefit the less fortunate but you'll be able to boost up your publicity." Giving Alec an almost pleading look, she followed Roslyn downstairs and out the doorway. Glad that the limo was ready for them, she slipped in beside her and shut the door. As soon as they were inside, she called out to the driver, "Make a stop at Starbucks, please. We need to pick up some more coffee." Glancing at the travel mug that Roslyn had in hand, Dani knew that they -really- shouldn't be drinking that much coffee. But if it made her happy, then damn it she would get her an IV of it.<br><br>"And I do hope you weren't serious about your San Francisco comment, Ros," Dani said as she checked her Blackberry, scrolling through the planner, "You have a morning phone interview with Ryan Seacrest, though..." Hesitating for just a moment, she turned her head sideways and looked at her. She murmured idly, "If you want, we can spend the night at San Francisco and then have the interview done in the hotel. After the interview we can come back home. You have a dinner to go to with..." She frowned a bit before turning curious eyes to Roslyn, "...Actually considering this latest stunt, have you spoken with him? Are you guys even 'seeing' each other anymore?" The 'him' she was referring to was Roslyn's latest boyfriend. Dani had stopped naming them, simply putting it down as 'Date with boyfriend'. Roslyn went through boyfriend like a baby went through diapers so Dani never bothered with names.<br><br>Feeling the limo slow, she murmured, "I'll be right back." Hopping out of the limo, she made her way into the Starbucks and ordered their usual. Checking through her text messages she silently sent a thank you to Julie when she saw not only Julie's Starbucks order but the photographers as well. Adding the other two orders, she tapped her foot as she waited for the orders to be done. Finding it the perfect time to call - since she was away from Roslyn - Dani dialed the PR's number and simply left a voicemail, "I know you've seen the news. Don't hide from me and call me back. I need you to work some last minute magic, please." When her order was called, she slipped her phone back in her pocket, gave the girl an appreciative smile and grabbed the carry-out with the four drinks. Sliding back in the limo, she said automatically, "Don't reach for it. You're not getting this Starbucks until we reach Maxim. And you swear that you won't try to do a nude shoot."

				For a few minutes Roslyn said nothing, her eyes staring at the tinted window as she steadily sipped from her travel mug.&nbsp; She could feel the vibrations of her cell phone through her purse, though ignored it as she finally flicked her gaze back to her assistant and let out a long, soft sigh.&nbsp; "I was informed prior to last night's incident that we are no longer together.&nbsp; Apparently I should emulate the Hollywood actresses that dote upon and spoil their current attachment.&nbsp; Never mind the fact I gave his silly television show a ratings boost for appearing twice as a guest star," the latter muttered mostly into the rim of her travel mug.&nbsp; "So, no, I don't have a dinner tomorrow night.&nbsp; In fact, I'd prefer if I had nothing to do tomorrow night.&nbsp; I do have scripts to read, which I'm not doing in San Francisco, and I only have a few more days before the movie premier in New York."<br><br>It stung more than she wanted to admitted that majority of the guys she'd dated had all been after one thing: what they could get out of her.&nbsp; Perhaps it was because they'd all come into the dating relationship expecting to be lavished upon, expecting her to dish out the royal treatment and for what?&nbsp; Generally lousy sex and a lack of any other stimulation?&nbsp; It really was past time she stopped dating actors, models, or even musicians, or anyone looking for a break into the world of entertainment, yet she simply couldn't foresee anyone not involved in the business understanding what could be erratic and insane schedules.&nbsp; Last year alone she hadn't been home except for a spread out eight weeks, the other time spent filming on locations or traveling for press.&nbsp; Who could feasibly understand such a lifestyle without having lived even a portion of it?<br><br>"I'm quite serious about San Francisco," she said after a moment and eyed the fresh coffee Dani practically dangled in front of her.&nbsp; "Do you know how much press exists there?&nbsp; Like, none.&nbsp; The random person will snap a photo with their phone.&nbsp; Wowee.&nbsp; Give them something to tweet about."&nbsp; Roslyn rolled her eyes as she slid her phone out of her purse, the first tap of her finger ignoring the missed calls and the second bringing up her Twitter page.&nbsp; "Doing the phone interview from the hotel should be fine, and don't worry, Ryan will be more interested in about the upcoming film release and me being cast in the action flick than about last night's stint.&nbsp; Any word from PR on that?"&nbsp; The last dregs of coffee finished in her mug, she set it into the cup holder and shot a glance to the one Dani still held captive just as she felt the limo coming to a slow.<br><br>"Coffee now, please," she said and reached her hand out.&nbsp; "We're here.&nbsp; I won't do a nude shoot.&nbsp; Not today, anyway.&nbsp; Happy now?&nbsp; Maybe for my birthday I'll do Playboy.&nbsp; I'm sure Hef would love it."&nbsp; Roslyn waited until she had the coffee in her hands before she stepped out of the limo, her driver given a fleeting, friendly smile and wink.&nbsp; Then she was sweeping herself into the studio, smiling widely to the photographer as he approached and gave her a genuinely affectionate kiss to each side of her neck as words bubbled out from both of them in rapid Italian.&nbsp; Within minutes Roslyn was passing her purse onto Dani and was being whisked away into wardrobe, the photographer right behind her.&nbsp;

				Flashing Julie a smile, she handed the Maxim rep the two remaining Starbucks cups and kept a short distance from the photographer and Roslyn. It was moment like that in the limo, for Dani, that made Roslyn more human. The Starlet had always had a massive fan, even celebrity wise, and it was heartbreaking to know that most men were willing to sleep with her just for a few months so that their careers could pick up. As much as she disliked how bossy and bitchy Roslyn had become...Dani couldn't fault her. As she watched her, she mentally shook her head knowing that Roslyn needed someone strong in her life. Someone who would...not only control her but would let her be free. A thoughtful frown crossed over Dani's features as she continued to watch the hairstylist and the makeup artist go to work on Roslyn.<br><br>"Shit!" Dani mumbled as she felt her phone go off, almost dropping her Starbucks cup. Reaching into her pocket she pulled out her phone, smiling when she saw who it was, "Tell me you can work some magic on this little bump." Taking a sip of her drink, she took a few steps back, not wanting Roslyn to hear the conversation she was about to have with her PR. Sometimes the man yelled so much the entire room could hear him. And that's not what they needed right now.<br><br>"At least tell me she's in the Maxim shoot?" Kaiden's Australian accent sounded tense over the phone. Out of all of his clients, he loved and hated Roslyn the most. While she brought him the most publicity and he got to work with Dani whom he completely loved...Most of the publicity was NOT good and it had them scrambling to fix it. "If you tell me she's at the Maxim shoot I have good news. If not...then my letter of resignation will be faxed over immediately."<br><br>Dani let out a quiet burst of laughter, rolling her eyes, "Kaiden, you threaten to quit every other month. Now shush, I know for a fact your son just got into Pre-Med and you're going to need Roslyn's money." She watched Roslyn from afar, making sure everything was going well. "But yes, we're at the Maxim as we speak. Had to talk her out of doing a nude shoot.'<br><br>A loud sigh sounded from the phone, "Dani, I swear..." Covering the mouthpiece, she could hear him speaking to someone before he came back on the phone. "Alright, I've sent out a statement that Ms. Roslyn Hayes was simply having some fun and relaxation and that if the Kardashian's can do it, then so can Roslyn Hayes. That she is back to work doing a Maxim shoot and will be more than ready for the New York premier." A soft chuckle escaped him, "I'm sure I'll get in trouble with their rep but who cares, I hear Kim is trying to get Roslyn to be the spokesperson for her new perfume."<br><br>"Maybe," Dani said vaguely, knowing that as much as she loved Kaiden any gossip was juicy gossip to him. "Thanks darling. I'll call you later!" Disconnecting the call, Dani moved closer to Roslyn, keeping an eye out on the photo shoot. As she watched silently, she booked the Oriental Suite in the Mandarin Oriental in San Francisco for one night and also scheduled a private jet to be waiting for them in roughly two and a half hours. After a quick e-mail with the new location and change of phone number to Ryan Seacrest's Manager, Dani finally settled back and sipped her coffee, relaxing as she watched Roslyn at work.

				If there was one thing Roslyn was absolutely brilliant at was losing herself into a role -- after all, it was precisely that talent that'd put her where she was today, and today she was embracing the feel of a beautiful Hollywood actress from the Golden Age doing her first racy pin up in modern swimsuits.&nbsp; The set concept thrilled her personally, for in all honesty she had little qualms about working with this specific photographer -- Antonio DeGrazia, Italian heart throb and one of the best in the business -- and knew she'd only make a stint about Maxim because she could.&nbsp; Now that she was here, though, easily laughing and smiling with Antonio, exchanging playful winks and quips with the make up artist who stood nearby throughout the entire process, dashing in and away with each change of costume or for a touch up, she'd realized she'd forgotten how much simple enjoyment and fun she'd used to feel.&nbsp; Back when the whole experience was a fresh novelty, she remembered telling herself to simply have fun with it.&nbsp; <br><br>Somehow down the line she'd forgotten that.&nbsp; It secretly thrilled her when she felt that vibe coming back and knew she'd given the photo shoot much more than even Dani had likely been expecting.&nbsp; She went through half a dozen costume and make up changes without a peep of protest, only whimpering about half way through when one of the camera techs walked by eating a doughnut and she felt and heard her stomach rumble with hunger, and effortlessly giving pose after pose, holding them when called to or changing her expression in the blink of an eye; nearly two hours later Roslyn and Antonio were exchanging one last, lingering hug as she came back out from the dressing screen once more in the clothes she'd arrived in.&nbsp; Even she knew the set had been naturally relaxed and there was no mistaking the look of pleased relief she noted on Julie's face, nor the one of satisfaction from an excellent session on Antonio's -- or the way his fingers lingered along the swell of her hips.<br><br>"You should call me, <em>cara</em>," he whispered into his ear, the hug drawn on with the tightening of his arms before he slowly released her, his lips brushing along the curve of her cheek and a folded note slipped into her hand.&nbsp; For a moment Roslyn could only blink as she inwardly sighed, and yet she smiled softly to him before smoothly extracting herself and headed for Dani's side.&nbsp; There was no way she'd be calling him, eventually he'd figure that out.&nbsp; Moments later she was walking back outside, unable to suppress the roll of her eyes behind her sunglasses when she noted the smattering of photographers standing just outside the studio's parking lot.&nbsp; There were days she suspected the media knew her own schedule better than she did!&nbsp; The thought was dismissed with a slight laugh as she passed the gift bag of designer swimwear to her driver with a wink.<br><br>"For your girlfriend, and pretty please make one more stop at Starbucks on the way to the airport," she said before sliding into the back of the limo and embracing the blast of air conditioning with a soft sigh.&nbsp; The moment Dani was settled in beside her the limo rolled to life and she swept her eyes over to her assistant.&nbsp; "Please tell me we are not staying at the Fairmont or the Four Seasons.&nbsp; The Fairmont feels too old and the chef at the Four Seasons really needs to be replaced, or at least the one that was working there the last time I stayed there did.&nbsp; I was thinking more about that whole Roslyn's Kids idea.&nbsp; What if we turned it into a non-profit summer camp for low income families?&nbsp; Theater camp, of course, and at the end of the season we all went to Disneyland.&nbsp; Robert Iger would eat that up, I bet he'd let them all go for free, probably even toss in free Mickey hats.&nbsp; Mouse ears would look rather cute on me, don't'cha think?"

				The shoot had gone...splendidly. As she watched Roslyn change poses and costumes without one sound of objection, Dani had to pinch herself a few times to make sure she wasn't dreaming. Her employer - as beautiful as she was - had become a bit 'Diva-ish' as of late. And so Dani had been prepared to jump through hoops just go get a few pictures on. But once again, Roslyn surprised the hell out of her and she stood there and took photos and laughed with the crew and made the entire process seem like five minutes instead of two hours. Dani had no idea what it was that had crawled into Roslyn but she hoped it didn't come back out. Moments like that was what made her absolutely love her job; being able to see someone as beautiful and as talented as Roslyn transform herself into multitude of roles. The smile of pleasure couldn't be removed from her face as she watched the photo shoot go well. She was almost certain that Antonio DeGrazia would be requesting Roslyn for future shoots. Or...to crawl in his bed.<br><br>Once they were inside the limo and they were slowly driving through the mass photographers, Dani relaxed and let her eyes shut for a minute. When Roslyn asked to stop at Starbucks, she almost said no. Too much caffeine in her body wouldn't be good for her. But...she closed her mouth and let her have her Starbucks. She could lay off of her for a <em>little</em> bit. Now that the photo shoot was done, they could make their way to San Fran and enjoy the rest of their day. The corner of her lips quirked as she heard Roslyn, opening her eyes and staring at her slightly amused, "No, Ros, we're not staying at the Fairmont. OR the Four Seasons" Dani had remembered those incidents - <em>vividly</em> - and so she had heard from a reliable source that the Mandarin Oriental in San Francisco had not only luxurious modern rooms but they had just hired a new chef from Italy. "We're staying at The Oriental Suite in the Mandarin Oriental. It's smack dab in the middle of San Francisco."<br><br>As the car pulled to a stop along a Starbucks, Dani could do nothing but stare at Roslyn. She was actually considering the Roslyn's Kids idea? Holy Hell. Shaking her head slightly, she muttered, "I'll be right back." Slipping out of the limo, Dani made her way towards the entrance of Starbucks. There was something going on, something that she was missing. Had her harsh treatment of Roslyn made her stop and look at herself? Of was she hiding something and she was just trying to sugar Dani up so she wouldn't find herself without an assistant? Placing an order for Roslyn's usual and adding two blueberry scones as well, she leaned against the counter and looked out towards the limo. Hm. It wouldn't hurt to do something non-profit. As selfish as it sounded, it would boost Roslyn's publicity. It would also help the less fortunate...and that was something Dani was always about.<br><br>Taking the coffee and the two scones, she walked back to the limo. She always found it amusing that people simply stopped and gawked at a limo, even when they had no idea who it was that was in it. Sliding back inside, she handed Roslyn that drink and also one scone, "Here. You haven't eaten all day and you're downing coffee like crazy. Eat something. When we're up in the air, I'll have the stewardess make you a salad or something to tide you over until we reach San Fran." Letting out a sigh, she looked at Roslyn, asking a bit surprised, "Really? You're considering doing Roslyn's Kids? I think..." She thought about the publicity and the money and slowly nodded, "I think it would be a really good idea, Ros. I mean...we're talking about starting your Angelina Jolie/Madonna status." Both actress were all about giving to the community and to the world, if Roslyn joined their ranks...her career would be permanently set.

				"Of course I'm serious," she drawled, reaching over to accept her fresh Starbucks and took a long, grateful swallow and a bite of the scone before continuing.&nbsp; She really was over doing the caffeine today and knew she'd be a little jittery later, but for right now, it was very much worth it.&nbsp; "Just don't expect me to start adopting kids from Cambodia or China, they'd only be more screwed up with me as their mother.&nbsp; But putting together a non-profit theater camp seems like fun and a good idea.&nbsp; I'd like to focus on inner city kids, though.&nbsp; Start in Los Angeles and who knows, maybe it'll actually be a hit and we can expand into other cities.&nbsp; Of course, they all can't go to Disneyland, but maybe some other close by theme park.&nbsp; I know, I know, theme parks and theater, what do they have in common?&nbsp; Just think of those people stuck in those heavy costumes or singing and dancing to some hokey song on a traveling stage and ta-da!&nbsp; And, both are fun."<br><br>Roslyn fell silent as her cell phone shrilled.&nbsp; She gave it a glance that quickly became a cross between disgusted and annoyed before she tossed the cell onto the seat beside her once hitting the ignore button.&nbsp; "At some point today when one of the family calls back, please tell them to go away and leave me in peace.&nbsp; Or maybe I could just have my lawyer send over copies of my current will," the latter was mostly mused to herself as she rolled her head along the seat and kept it tilted, her eyes blankly staring out past the tinted window and onto the scenery whizzing by them.&nbsp; "Although, perhaps adoption would be a good idea in ten years.&nbsp; Mid-thirties, won't have to worry about hiring a personal trainer to come kick my body back into shape, and with adopting I won't get too much flack for doing any family films.&nbsp; Thought about doing one a couple years ago.&nbsp; Of course, agent said no and what happened?&nbsp; Amy Adams dazzled on screen and got a heap of nominations."<br><br>Deeply she exhaled as she felt the limo taking the exit for the private airstrips that ran off LAX.&nbsp; Being able to skip the rush of airports (except when she absolutely <em>had </em>to take a commercial flight) was one of the perks of her life that she sincerely enjoyed the most.&nbsp; "So, after the premier on Wednesday night I won't be flying back to LA.&nbsp; There's a trainer in Miami I'm going to meet.&nbsp; He worked with Angelina Jolie for Tomb Raider, comes with some good recommendations.&nbsp; You'll like him, apparently he doesn't take crap from anyone, not even celebrities," she said with a slight smirk, finally turning her eyes away from the scenery as the limo began to come to a slow.&nbsp; Purposely she waited until they'd come to a stop, just a hundred feet away from the waiting jet, its stairs already lowered and the flight attendant waiting, and her door opened before she spoke again.<br><br>"Also, I'm attending the opening of Caleb Wagner's new restaurant club thing in Miami.&nbsp; Don't worry, I'll behave.&nbsp; I'm going with Kim K.," was what she said as she stepped out of the limo, casually sipping from her Starbucks as she strolled toward the jet.&nbsp; "Come along, Dani, San Francisco is waiting.&nbsp; There is shopping to be done!&nbsp; I'm thinking some spa time, too.&nbsp; We can call someone on the way for reservations -- put them under the Daisy alias," Roslyn called back and winked at the flight attendant -- deliciously male for a change -- as she swept up the stairs and into the waiting cabin.&nbsp;

				Just as quickly as Roslyn was speaking, Dani was taking notes. While this was still fresh, Dani wanted to take down all the information so that she could send it to Roslyn's Agent and have them work something out. If they got this done in a few months, it would boost up Roslyn's movies and her rating would go through the roof. As Roslyn mentioned Amy Adams, she tried not to outwardly wince. "Yeah well that Agent wasn't...well. You now have another one with more experience and a bit more control of what is best for you. I think if we let her know about this, she'll make it work. This is perfect, Ros. I think this will really help your career." Giving her a pointed look, she added, "And it'll help you too." There was no doubt in Dani's mind that Roslyn needed to get back in touch with the 'human' side of her. She was getting a bit too comfortable with the 'celebrity' status that the human side was starting to fade out. A wake up call. That's what her employer needed!<br><br>As Roslyn slid out of the limo and rattled off all of the events she was going to be going to, Dani could only look at her in slight shock. Wait...what?! When had she decided to make all of these plans? "Wait a minute..." Dani mumbled distractedly as she looked down and began to flip through the screens of her blackberry. Damn it! What was Roslyn doing making all of these plans? As she went up the flight of stairs and into the private jet, she flashed the flight attendant a warning look before she followed Roslyn into the plane. "Roslyn, when the hell were you going to tell me about all of these plans?" After the premier, there were talk shows that she needed to go to, scheduled phone interviews. Roslyn could NOT simply make changes to the schedule without consulting her first.<br><br>Taking a seat in one of the plush and leather seats, Dani gave Roslyn an exasperated look, "And you'll behave? You'll be going with Kim K.," Dani almost choked at the nickname but continued on, her eyes beginning to flash angrily, "And wherever she is, so are her cameras. She has a reality show, Ros! If you so much as pull the same stunt you did last night, considered Roslyn's Kids the end of all E! News jokes." Trying to calm herself down, Dani took a deep breath and counted from 20 back down to one. It was enough time to get the plane up in the air and the request for a cocktail to be given out. Hoping that she reached Roslyn in some kind of way, she stated as calmly as she could, "Ros, there is a reason I e-mail you your schedule every Monday. It maps out your week in detail...<em>and</em> up to three months in advance."<br><br>"Now," As she thanked the flight attendant for her drink, she looked at Roslyn and said firmly, "Tell me where you want to spa today. We're not discussing this idea of you going out to Miami. It's not going to happen." For a moment, Dani's eyes flashed to Roslyn dangerously, as if a silent warning was being given to her. Taking a sip of her drink, she waited for Roslyn to let her know what Spa she wished to relax in.

				“You're right, we don't need to discuss it as I've already decided I'm going,” Roslyn said dryly, pausing as the flight attendant checked they were settled then longer until he returned with Roslyn's own cocktail.&nbsp; Caffeine over load follow by alcohol?&nbsp; Inwardly Roslyn shrugged.&nbsp; Why not?&nbsp; The rest of the day was nothing but easy street, meant to be enjoyed.&nbsp; Once the attendant set down her drink and then retreated to his space behind the curtain, she glanced back at Dani.&nbsp; “After the premier I will go sleep at the hotel, where in the morning I'll do the conference interview call before being bright eyed and smiling for Regis and Kelly Live, and hopefully Regis won't be staring at my breasts this time.&nbsp; Then I go to the taping of Ellen – don't let me forget the present I have for her – and then... then, my dear assistant, I am getting on the jet and flying down to Miami.”<br><br>Pausing once more, Roslyn took a large swallow of her drink, gave a quick glance to the passing clouds before continuing.&nbsp; “Miami is where I'll stay the night after meeting the trainer, do another conference call, then some shopping, of course, and then the club's grand opening where Kim won't have her cameras as Caleb forbid them.&nbsp; And I will behave because I'm only going for a few hours just so I can hop back onto the jet and come back to LA so I can commence getting my ass kicked into shape, continue movie promotions and land a couple new roles all before we leave for London in two weeks.&nbsp; I'm well aware you email my schedule... I just don't always read it – okay, maybe not often at all – considering I've never actually forgotten anything.&nbsp; Yes, the time I said I forgot about the meeting with the producer was a lie.&nbsp; I just didn't like the pervert.”&nbsp; With a sigh she finished her drink and shifted in the seat, rising a second later to flop onto the leather couch that sat opposite the chairs, her arm draped across her eyes.<br><br>“There's a spa called Lily's that I like.&nbsp; If they don't have availability there, then go with Serenity, but the lady at Lily's will recognize the Daisy alias,” she said, moving on from the subject of Miami without another thought.&nbsp; As far as she was concerned the matter was no longer open for discussion.&nbsp; “It'd be better to do shopping first and then the spa.&nbsp; Any place in particular you'd like to try for dinner?&nbsp; Nothing Italian.&nbsp; I've had way too much pasta lately and I won't be able to resist any temptation.”&nbsp; A small wave of her hand had the attendant suddenly appearing from behind the curtain, a fresh drink in hand which was pressed carefully into Roslyn's waiting one.&nbsp; He smiled when she murmured her thanks, then took her empty glass, checked on Dani and disappeared once again.<br><br>Roslyn only took a few sips, however, before she was sliding the drink onto the table and barely stifled a yawn.&nbsp; “Mmkay.&nbsp; Nap time.&nbsp; Wake me when we get there?&nbsp; Do so enjoy being awake and aware for shopping.&nbsp; Can't believe you let me party last night,” the latter was <em>almost</em> mumbled as Roslyn turned onto her side and quite promptly closed her eyes.&nbsp;

				<em>"Can't believe you let me party last night..."</em><br><br>Did that little bitch just say what Dani thought she said? As Roslyn turned on her side and closed her eyes, Dani's hand itched and she had the sudden uncontrollable urge to smack the hell out of her employer. But that was a one way ticket to 'Unemployment-Land' followed closely by a visit to 'Lawsuit State' and then finding herself residing permanently in 'Broke-ville'. Oh but it was tempting. Oh so tempting. That the little shit would blame her partying last night on HER?! Dani hadn't even been aware that her employer had gone to party. And why the hell was she justifying herself? Dani knew damn well that it wasn't her fault! The more she spent time with Roslyn, the more she was coming to realize that the actress needed a hard lesson in discipline.<br><br>Taking a sip of her cocktail, Dani closed her eyes to block our Roslyn and mentally counted to twenty. Spa. She needed a day at the spa almost as much as Roslyn did. While Roslyn doze, Dani made the necessary calls and appointments to have Roslyn in the Lily Spa and Resort. When Roslyn had made the comment about putting the reservations under the Daisy alias, she had almost snapped her head off. Dani had been working with her for how long? She knew all of her damn aliases and knew to give them out when making plans. Booking a room in San Francisco under <em>Roslyn Hayes</em> was like smacking a GPS on the actress' ass and handing the locator to all of the major tabloids and news crews. They couldn't even use Dani's name anymore. Mentally shaking her head, she put the negative thoughts aside. San Francisco. A Day of relaxation. Got it.<br><br>Throughout the short flight, Dani kept thinking back to Roslyn and the way she had been behaving lately. The girl needed to be ruled with an iron fist. There was just something about rules and schedules that the actress was opposed to. For a moment, Dani fantasized about how it would be if Roslyn actually did as she said and stopped arguing and misbehaving. What a delight! What a crock of shit! She quickly thought to herself, unable to keep the smile from her face. As she felt the private plane begin to descend, Dani looked at her watch and realized they had arrived. Without any kind of consideration, Dani did something she would have never thought to do. She gave a hard, resounding <em>smack</em> to Roslyn's ass and said sharply, "Get up. We're here."<br><br>For one split second, Dani looked down at her hand as it stung with the force of the hit. Holy shit. But she had to admit...that had felt <em>good!</em> Not giving herself time to think of what she did - or what Roslyn would say to it, Dani was already on the phone with the limo company making sure that they were waiting on the runway. A small smile blossomed as she continued to chit chat with the gentleman on the other end - unable to keep the small sense of satisfaction from showing.

				With a cry of surprise, a little of pain, the sting on her ass taking far too long to being fading, Roslyn shot up on the couch, wide eyed and her mouth hanging open.&nbsp; Then her hand was lightly rubbing where Dani's smack had landed and her eyes narrowed on her assistant.&nbsp; Who did she think she was?&nbsp; Granted the line about the party was a little out of line, but that certainly didn't warrant smacking her ass!&nbsp; That Dani was currently handling limp arrangements, though was taking her dear sweet time about it, was the only thing that kept Roslyn tight lipped – figuratively and literally.&nbsp; That, and being unable to deny the small – very, very small, Roslyn told herself – shiver of pleasure that had also come with the smack.&nbsp; <br><br>Still, she was glaring daggers at Dani as the jet landed and kept her silence even as it came to its slow stop.&nbsp; Once the flight attendant had opened the door and set down the stairs to the runway, Roslyn was moving, slipping her sunglasses on and proceeding down the stairs, a generous tip pressed into the attendant's hands, without so much of another glance at her assistant.&nbsp; It was slightly surprising that she hadn't then and there fired the wench and let her find her own way back to San Francisco, and know with but a few well placed words she could end her career in Hollywood, or at least make it so that the only stars she was assisting were those struggling to even get direct to DVD movie parts or small guest roles on the CW network.&nbsp; And that, she knew, was where new, fledgling assistants started or went to die.&nbsp; <br><br>Only once she reached the waiting black stretch limo, a uniformed driver tipping his hat respectfully to her (and struggling to keep a silly smile off his face when he realized just who he was driving!) did Roslyn pause and half turned, her eyes flickering up to Dani from beneath her sunglasses.&nbsp; “Do that again and you'll find yourself without a job or a chance in this industry before you can blink,” she whispered, not a touch of venom in her tone, only cool, icy calmness.&nbsp; Then a heart beat later she was smiling bright and beautifully at the driver, charming him with a mere bat of her lashes and sliding into the air conditioned back seat.&nbsp; There was no surprise when she saw the sprig of tulips, the bowl of fresh strawberries or the bottle of Dom Perignon sitting ready with two glasses.&nbsp; Dani did her job, and she did it well, and that, Roslyn told herself, was why she'd only issued a warning instead of firing her.&nbsp; <br><br>Leaning back in the seat, she popped open the bottle of champagne herself and poured herself a glass, sipping as she took up a strawberry in hand.&nbsp; She just needed today to get away.&nbsp; One day of nothing more pressing on her mind than how many spa services to indulge in, if they had something in her size, and what to indulge in for dinner.&nbsp; And to forget just what had happened on the jet.&nbsp;

				The entire limo ride was spent in tense silence; both from Dani and from Roslyn. When Roslyn had issued the threat - and it <em>had</em> been&nbsp; a threat - Dani's heart had slammed in her chest and she had struggled not to show the panic that had threatened to overwhelm her. But just as soon as it appeared...another emotion came forth. Confidence. Determination. There was no way in hell she was going to allow Roslyn to throw her out after she had been an excellent personal assistant to her. Oh no. The days were Roslyn called the shots were soon going to end. But Dani had to bide her time. She had to wait and sit...and let the beautiful actress fall on her lap after another of her fuck ups.<br><br>When they were almost to the hotel, Dani spoke calmly, a hint of coolness to her voice, "Unless you would like to change and spend a few minutes in the suite, once we check in, we will be expected at the Lily Spa and Resort. Madame Lily has the private rooms ready and waiting for us." She looked back down at her phone and scrolled down before she picked up the phone for the driver and quickly rattled off a new address. As they were pulling up to the Hotel, Dani disconnected the call and reached for her purse, waiting for the driver to open the door. Her eyes went to Roslyn, eying her up and down slowly as thoughts of what she would do to her employer began to bombard her.<br><br>Never had she felt like this towards another person. Dani was always kind and sweet; polite to everyone whom she met. But there was something about Roslyn that was just too much. She couldn't deal with her employers mistakes and then the easy way she just...put them off on someone else. It was ridiculous. That stinging smack to Roslyn's cheek had opened up a can of worm; ones that even Dani hadn't realized were open. Because the minute her palm came in contact with Roslyn's pert behind, she had felt the power...and she had loved it! Wicked thoughts were coming into play but Dani was too preoccupied with the current situation to realize that the next time she exploded...it wouldn't be just a little smack.<br><br>As the door opened, Dani got out and waited for Roslyn to exit the limo.Thankfully no one was waiting for them; the entire situation had been kept quiet. But Dani knew that peace wouldn't last long. Giving the limo driver a smile, Dani made her way to the hotel doors, flashing the Manager a smile and reaching out a hand to shake his. "Good Afternoon! Thank you so much for your quick service. We are greatly appreciative."

				Roslyn merely gave a&nbsp; nod of her head toward Dani as the limo glided to a stop in front of the hotel.&nbsp; To her utter relief nothing but the cool breeze greeted her as she stepped out and made her way inside beside Dani.&nbsp; Not another word about the incident on the jet had been spoken about and that was just fine with her.&nbsp; As long as it didn’t happen again, Roslyn was more than happy to “forget” about it.&nbsp; The moment her eyes swept to the approaching manager she was all smiles, taking his hand once Dani released it and unleashed some of her natural, beguiling charm onto the unsuspecting man.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>“Yes, thank you so much.&nbsp; I am so looking forward to being here and staying in your wonderful hotel.&nbsp; The lobby is absolutely beautiful.&nbsp; Don’t you think, Dani?” She barely slid Dani a glance as she walked with the manager while speaking, maneuvering the man without him even realizing it until they’d come to the front desk.&nbsp; One silver tongued compliment about his silk tie had him skipping all necessary paperwork, taking the offered black American Express without a bat of his lashes or a glance to the name (as if the credit card and the reservation would be under the same name), and merely handed her and Dani the room keys.&nbsp; She even laughed and smiled when he gushed how his wife would never believe this – and made a mental note to send him something for being so nice (Dani could figure out the way precisely).<br><br>“Unfortunately we are expected elsewhere for now, but I am sure the suite is just fine.&nbsp; I would very much appreciate and enjoy having a fruit and cheese tray later, probably with some wine, as well.&nbsp; However, I am sure Dani here has some details concerning tomorrow morning that she would love to talk about with you.”&nbsp; Once more her smile flashed, the manager returning it with ease as his eyes slid to Dani, anticipating and expectant.&nbsp; Roslyn had already tuned the man out, instead turning her gaze to the nearby front desk clerk who hadn’t been able to keep her eyes averted.&nbsp; A few minutes alter Roslyn left her beaming with a signed autograph and an impromptu picture taken on her cell phone.&nbsp; She could only assume the promise of keeping her whereabouts here a secret wouldn’t last very long, but Roslyn could certainly hope.<br><br>With a glance to make sure Dani was done, Roslyn headed back for the limo, clearly not wanting to waste any more time before they hit the spa.&nbsp; Her head hit the back of the seat and her eyes closed as Dani slid in, both staying just that way and not a word passing from her lips until she felt the limo pulling over yet again someodd minutes later.&nbsp; The “closed” sign on the front glass door was noted with a small quirk of her mouth.&nbsp; The door opened with a soft ring of a ball, the woman behind the counter immediately smiling when she saw who it was.&nbsp; <br><br>“Oh, ladies!&nbsp; So good to see you again.&nbsp; Come in and let’s get started, we have everything ready for you.”<br><br>Oh yes, she certainly did love Lily’s.&nbsp; <br>

				As soon as Roslyn had mentioned her, Dani was all business. Turning to the Manager she said firmly, "Tomorrow morning, Ms. Hayes will be receiving a very important phone call. I need you to make sure that call goes directly to our suite and that the line is secure. I do not want it leaking or going to anyone else. Here is the number that will be calling," Dani handed him a sheet of paper, nodding to it. "As well as what time they will call and who you are to make sure is on the other end. No reporters, no paparazzi's. Nothing leaking to the press, please" She flashed him a sweet smile. "Oh! And for the fruit tray, please make sure the fruits have all been washed and are sliced. She is particular about her trays." The implication was clear; any mishaps and the hotel would suffer bad publicity.<br><br>Once she had been assured everything would be going to plan, Dani left with Roslyn. She made a mental note to speak with the Manager the following day after the phone interview and inform him of their shopping expedition. Knowing how Roslyn liked to show, Dani needed to let the hotel know they would be receiving multiple packages from multiple stores. As she quickly typed it in her phone, she was glad that the drive to the Spa was short. She really did not enjoy the silence between Roslyn and her.<br><br>Walking into the Resort with Roslyn, Dani shook Lily's hand and nodded, "Thank you <em>so</em> much for fitting us in at the last minute. Roslyn just loved your place last time," Dani flashed her a wide smile as they were directed to a changing room. "Oh! Did you make sure and have the -"<br><br>"Sparkling water and the chocolate-dipped strawberries?" Lily, the owner finished, she smiled brightly. "Yes. Everything is ready and waiting in the adjacent room. Once you two ladies have undressed, please put on your robes and go into the room. The room is dimly lit and there will be a full staff ready to begin your treatment."<br><br>Giving Roslyn a pleased smile, she added, "Ms. Hayes, I have two members of the staff who are male and will provide you the massage and hot stones. I also have a lady for your manicure and one for your pedicure. And as soon as you are done with your massage, we will do the wrap and while your body is relaxing, we'll start your facial."<br><br>As she left, Dani couldn't help but shake her head and murmur with a smile, "Sometimes...it's good to be you, Ros."

				Yes, sometimes it was good to be her.&nbsp; There were definitely times, such as this one, when being Roslyn Hayes was a very good thing.&nbsp; She smiled over to Dani as they went into the next room to change, the knots of tension already beginning to ease from her back from simply knowing that at least for the next few hours her biggest concern was going to be whether to have one more strawberry or not.&nbsp; There was no shyness in how she stripped down in front of Dani, her clothes somewhat neatly tossed onto the nearby bench before she slid on the robe and went walking into the next room once her assistant was ready.&nbsp; That she happened to steal a couple of covert peeks at Dani's form when she had changed... well, those were thoughts best left unsaid and even not thought about anymore. <br><br>The massage room looked exquisite; trails of incense smoke wafted through the candle lit space.&nbsp; The lights had been kept dim, leaving just enough light for the two women to safely see their way to the tables and the two men that patiently awaited them, introduced as Franz and Marc, both wearing smiles that simply could not be restrained.&nbsp; The one on the left, Franz, with light brown hair and sea green eyes looked familiar to Roslyn, she was pretty sure he was the same male who had done her message previously.&nbsp; And if she was recalling correctly he had the hands of a God -- a major God, not some minor one struggling to achieve full status.&nbsp; The memory had a purr caught in her throat as she paused by the bed.&nbsp; For a moment her fingers lingered on the robe's sash before she gave it a gentle yank and let it roll off her shoulders, the men greeted by the nude curve of her backside and Dani the front with how she was positioned by the table.&nbsp; A second later she was easing face down onto the table, the corners of her mouth quirking when her massage God didn't pull the modesty sheet up at all.<br><br>"Full body or just your back today, Ms. Hayes?" he asked as she heard him come up beside her.&nbsp; With her face properly positioned in the open face hole, she let her eyes open just a little and focused on the pretty floor tiles.&nbsp; "Full body, please, Franz," came her purred response.&nbsp; She was tempted to lift her head and see just how Dani was faring, but she could hear her well enough; the temptation was also there as she wasn't at all enjoying even this minor ... rift, if one could call it that, between her and her assistant.&nbsp; Yes, Dani was her assistant in every professional sense of the word, but she was also the only person Roslyn had in the world who she could simply be herself around, the only one who didn't look at her as if she were crazy for tackling her aspirations -- except when that tackling caused trouble.&nbsp; On some very basic level, Dani was the only genuine friend (and Roslyn didn't even know if she could call Dani that) she had in the world composed of fakeness. <br><br>It came as no surprise to her when only a couple minutes passed before her lips were parting again; first to let out a soft moan as Franz's hands sunk deep into her skin and muscle and felt his magical touch begin, the warm stones had been set perfectly along the curve of her back.&nbsp; "Marc, please make sure to take extra special care of Dani there.&nbsp; I don't know how she puts up with me, going through the wringer as often as she does.&nbsp; Maybe you could hand feed her a couple strawberries during the massage?" she said just as another moan passed her lips when Franz hit a particularly tense spot and focused there.&nbsp; Then her eyes were closing as she simply let herself become lost in the massage and all the comfort and pleasure it had to offer.&nbsp; Yeah... Dani was definitely going to need her own pampering today.&nbsp; Roslyn had some spite to make up for.&nbsp;

				She had looked. Damn it, Dani hadn't meant to but she had. During the time they had been changing from their clothes to the robes, she had kept her eyes politely averted not wanting to have the image of Roslyn completely nude in her mind. And she had succeeded; having kept her eyes on her robe, her smile on her face and her eyes on Roslyn's face. Until they had arrived inside the room. When Ros had tugged on the sash and let the robe roll off her shoulders, Dani hadn't been able to avert her eyes and she caught a full frontal view of Roslyn. And...damn it, her body was exquisite. Occasionally, there would be moments in her position where Dani <em>had</em> to see Ros naked. But this one...after the issue in the plane...well it did not help.<br><br>Her eyes flashed over to Marc and a slow smile curved her lips. The man had to be from another country, there was no one a blonde haired, blue eyed hottie like him was bred in the United States. Once Dani had undressed and laid down; positioning her face on the oval space provided to her, she forced herself to relax and to simply enjoy the pampering that Roslyn said she deserved. And she did deserve it. Ros had done her fare share of tantrum throwing today. Before she could respond to what Roslyn was saying, Marc responded in a beautiful Australian accent, "I will do my best to make sure Dani is well satisfied." Oh damn. Dani's eyes widen slightly as she heard the last comment, knowing it was innocent but not able to stop herself from imagining the double entendre. Like Ros, Marc did not bother raising up the modesty sheet, simply leaning down to murmur against Dani's ear, "Full body, no?"<br><br>"Yes," Dani responded, silently cursing when she sounded a bit breathless. That's all Ros needed; to hear her personal assistant practically quivering for her masseuse. Forcing herself to relax, she felt Marc slowly place the hot stones along her spine, a little sigh of delight escaping her. As soon as he laid them along her skin, it was as if they began soaking up the tension in her body. She could actually <em>feel</em> herself relaxing and molding herself to the table she was laying on. Hearing Ros next to her, she knew that Franz was working his magic on the worn out actress. In a way, Dani was so glad Roslyn had not budged about the San Francisco trip. This was something both of them needed - their lives were becoming too stressful and if they did not take care of themselves, they were about to run themselves to the ground.<br><br>A low moan escaped Dani as March pressed into her shoulder, causing it to pop. A sigh of pleasure slipped through her lips, wondering how much Marc would charge if she bought him for her house. The things the man was doing with his hands were absolutely sinful! Letting her eyes drift shut, Dani submitted to the bliss being provided, little sounds escaping her as he pressed into a tension-filled spot or worked out a kink in the most magnificent of ways. This little peace of heaven was well worth forgetting all of Roslyn's mishaps from earlier before. Hell, in Dani's eyes, Roslyn was a saint! As Marc moved lower along her body, Dani let her eyes drift shut, her body being manipulated and expertly handled by a gorgeous man. Not even the fact that she kept seeing Roslyn's naked form in her head could ruin Dani's spirits.

				Pure heaven was the only way Roslyn could adequately describe the next hour and a half.&nbsp; Franz's hands worked magic over her body, not once inch having one unattended.&nbsp; There was nothing but a smile on her lips when Franz whispered in her ear, then disappeared for a few moments.&nbsp; When he returned he lingered near Roslyn's waist, hands gently parting her thighs.&nbsp; Then there was a soft click quickly followed by Roslyn softly moaning.&nbsp; The hums of pleasure continued even as Franz's hands worked back up along her body, the tranquil background music just barely covering the small vibrating coming from between Roslyn's legs.&nbsp; Suffice to say it shouldn't have come as any surprise when Roslyn was fifteen minutes behind Dani, much of it having passed in a small blur, the glow from the massage a little brighter.&nbsp; <br><br>Roslyn was smiling like a pleased feline as she stepped into the warm bathwater, lilies and rose petals floating idyllically over the surface.&nbsp; She was still smiling when she was finally gently laid beside Dani, her body wrapped in detoxifying clay and a cucumber slice over each eye.&nbsp; When silence reigned a few minutes later Roslyn didn't need her vision to know she and her assistant had been left alone to enjoy the peace, and the remaining after glow from the... massage.&nbsp; Not only had this been such a good idea, and given her a way to apologize to Dani, but this was something that had to happen more often.&nbsp; Already this had been a better way to relax and rejuvenate rather than what she had done last night.&nbsp; Not that she was about to admit, of course.<br><br>When Roslyn did finally speak it wasn't about work, per se, but merely a delightful and witty recount of all the latest stories she'd heard, ones just about to be exposed or were attempting to be covered up.&nbsp; Once their wraps were done, peeled off and their bodies rinsed clean, they were once more swaddled into robes and brought into the salon.&nbsp; Then it was wondering where to spend the holidays later this year – last year had been a tropical island, so Paris or New York were the options, and where was Dani anticipating spending hers?&nbsp; Which, perhaps surprisingly, had Roslyn wanting to know about Dani's family and where she had grown up.<br><br>As their hair was washed and conditioned, their feet soaked in rosewood water, later scrubbed and pumiced, their nails were trimmed, buffed and polished as the stylists brushed and dried.&nbsp; By the end of the four hours both women were glowing.&nbsp; Roslyn hadn't stopped giving soft sighs of happiness, one of which was echoed by the manager-owner when Roslyn left more than hefty tips for each of the staff – one she almost doubled when first glance outside revealed only their waiting limo.&nbsp; Her smile widened as she looked to Dani, slid her sunglasses back into place; behind the dark lenses it was easier to let her eyes linger as they had been on and off throughout the day.&nbsp; <br><br>“Ready for shopping?&nbsp; I say in another in another four or so hours we'll be more than ready for some scrumptious dinner and more champagne.&nbsp; What about watching a movie at the hotel after dinner?&nbsp; I think that qualifies as calm but enjoyable and thus acceptable,” Roslyn said as she slid into the back of the limo, her cell phone dug out from her purse.&nbsp; A few seconds later she was giggling, sighing and rolling her eyes.&nbsp; “The National Inquirer says I'm getting married... and pregnant!&nbsp; Roslyn Hayes and her fiancee are having twins, reports an inside source.”

				There were times when Dani would take a personal day off -- often when Roslyn was on the set -- and she would spend a few hours in a Spa, relaxing. But nothing that she had ever done compared to the treatment she received with Roslyn. And she thought she had grown used to it, but normally when Roslyn was off pampering herself in the spa, Dani was in the hotel trying to figure her schedule out. This was really the first time she had gotten the 'celebrity treatment' with her boss. She had to admit, it was phenomenal. Never had she been so well pampered and touched and well...spoiled. She felt completely and utterly spoiled and Dani had none other than Roslyn to thank. Well this completely changed their earlier mood.<br><br>"You? Married and pregnant with Twins?" Dani rolled her eyes as she settled herself in the limo after waving goodbye to Marc. And what a sad goodbye that had been. Never in her life had she considered letting a masseuse touch her so intimately but after she heard what Franz did for Roslyn. Well...she had been tempted. Giving herself a mental shake, she looked at her cell phone and quickly checked her e-mails. "Well, it's up to you whether we nip that in the bud. Then again...it's the National Inquirer. Who the hell believes anything they say?" She arched an eyebrow, unable to keep the lazy chuckle that escaped her. "Let them ramble. As long as they don't start saying you're a drug addict or some kind of sex-freak, we should be fine."<br><br>Reaching out a hand, Dani touched Roslyn's arm lightly and looked at her. "Hey Ros?" For the first time in their entire business relationship, Dani gave Roslyn a genuine smile and said quietly, "Thank you for letting me tag along with you to the Spa today. I know it's not a normal occurrence but...it was great." She dropped her hand and turned once more to look out the window, her black sunglasses slipped down from her hair. "Just what the two of us needed after the last couple of months." Her smile was relaxed as she let out a quiet sigh.<br><br>The limo drove them to the heart of San Francisco were some of the major shopping stores were. It had shocked the hell out of her not to see the paparazzis outside of the Spa but she knew that the peace and quiet would end soon. Here in San Francisco if it wasn't the media, it was the tourist. Thankfully a lot of the stores often closed down when a celebrity made an appearance. Even though there would be attention, Roslyn would still be able to shop in private. And considering how nice of a time the two of them had been having...maybe Dani could call a few shops ahead and let them know they would be coming by?<br><br>"So what shops are you interested in visiting today? Let me know so I might give them a call and give them a heads up. Then maybe we won't be so mobbed down when they catch wind you're in town," Dani gave Roslyn a slight smile and began to search for a few shops in San Francisco. She added, in an almost teasing tone, "Are we going to visit <em>Dash</em>? The Kardashian's clothing store?" She ran her fingers through her hair, adding with a smile. "I heard they have some pretty unique stuff."

				There were moments that Roslyn missed having a friend, someone she could just talk to or share in a spa and shopping day like this one.&nbsp; Sitting there next to Dani was one of those moments, and for a few brief moments Roslyn wanted to tell her so much.&nbsp; For a moment she’d forgotten just who she was, who Dani was, and where they were.&nbsp; <br><br>“Oh, I don’t know about not being labeled a sex freak.&nbsp; A couple years ago I was an outright prude,” Roslyn said with a&nbsp; laugh, leaning comfortably back and smiling over to Dani.&nbsp; “Kind of think I’d prefer sex freak to prude, then at least I’m not defending giving up my virginity before marriage.”&nbsp; Roslyn’s laugh caught, and thought she didn’t lose her smile, a somber note flared in her eyes.<br><br>Dani was thanking her for the spa?&nbsp; Maybe she really had been a bitch longer than she thought.&nbsp; “I had a great time.&nbsp; Plus, it was a lot better than going alone.&nbsp; It’s… been a long time since I’ve had a girls day.&nbsp; Maybe we should make this a monthly treat – at least spa and lunch or dinner.”&nbsp; What Roslyn wasn’t saying was that she was sorry.&nbsp; For now this would have to do.&nbsp; “And actually … I think we’ll be okay on our own.&nbsp; Maybe easier doing a little walking once we get to Union Square,” she said, giving a glance to the passing sidewalk filled with pedestrian.&nbsp; “This is San Fran, not LA.&nbsp; The most we to worry about are some tourists recognizing me and whipping up their cell phones and gadgets.”&nbsp; Roslyn’s tone said that was her final thoughts on the matter.<br><br>“Our very first stop is going to be Dash, actually.&nbsp; At least make an appearance and look around, then we can do some serious shopping.”&nbsp; Meaning, she wouldn’t have to buy anything from Dash and still ‘support’ Kim’s business venture.&nbsp; Though, she thought she had seen a couple jewelry pieces she’d rather liked, but considering all the stores she browsed, they could have been from anywhere.&nbsp; As the limo pulled over into a safe spot to unload them a few minutes later, Roslyn quickly readjusted her sun glasses&nbsp; before stepping out of the limo before the driver could come round.&nbsp; <br><br>“Henry,” said a moment later as the drive came beside her, the door held for Dani.&nbsp; “We’re going to be quite some time and I’m simply going to have everything sent back to the hotel, so please feel free to take the rest of the afternoon to yourself, on the clock.&nbsp; I’ll send a text once we’re ready.”&nbsp; Henry nodded, smiling easily at the starlet and her assistant, and Roslyn turned her attention back to the beautiful brunette. <br><br>Beautiful?!<br><br>Her lashes fluttered as her cheeks suddenly stained bright pink and Roslyn quickly looked away, focused on the store in front of them.&nbsp; Where had that thought come from?&nbsp; “All right.&nbsp; Let’s shop.&nbsp; I’ve got millions and millions, let’s see how much we can spend in an afternoon.”<br>

				She had done her best to hide the surprise from her face when Roslyn had commented on making their 'girls day out' a monthly thing. What the hell had gotten into the actress? For a split second, Dani wondered if Roslyn was effectively 'punk'ing her, but...she did not see Ashton Kutcher anywhere.<br><br>Normally, Dani would have insisted that Roslyn let her call the shops ahead but...no one really knew that they were in town. By the time the paparazzis and the media caught wind of Roslyn being in San Francisco, they would be almost done with their shopping. And honestly if they weren't, Dani wasn't too worried about it. There was a change in Roslyn's mood and selfish as it might be, Dani didn't want to mess it up. If she began ordering the celebrity around, she had a feeling that Roslyn would retaliate. It was best to just...let her be.<br><br>And the surprises seem to continue to roll; Dani felt a wide smile cross her lips as she heard Roslyn give Henry the day off. Hefting the strap of her purse up, she watched Henry drive off as she looked at Roslyn, noticing the red tint to her cheeks. She smiled, "Are you okay?" She felt a wide smile cross her lips as she added, her voice teasing and showing that she was clearly joking, "Or is this niceness getting to you?" With a soft chuckle, Dani added, "Franz must have <em>really</em> work on your tension points." Remember the buzzing noise she had heard and Roslyn's moaning, Dani felt her breath still, swallowing hard.<br><br>There had been a wild moment in Dani's mind that she had...longed...to see what Franz had been doing to Roslyn. Even if he hadn't touched her, Dani would have liked to watch Roslyn -- Stop! Her cheeks brightened even more as she felt her nipples tighten. Whatever she was thinking about she had to stop! This wasn't the time or place...or even the person to be thinking about in such a way! Dani cleared her throat as she murmured, "Alright. Lets...shop."<br><br>Dani entered <em>Dash</em> with Roslyn and looked around with curious eye. While she didn't approve of the Kardashians she was impressed by their business ventures. If ever Roslyn thought about opening up her own store, Dani was going to suggest speaking to Kim and having her go in as partner. It would be a great business investment.<br><br>With a sigh of relief, Dani walked next to Roslyn, feeling her body returning back to 'normal'. This was a vacation for both of them...it was best to not think too much into what she was feeling towards her boss.

				<em>Franz must have really worked on your tension points.</em>&nbsp; The only saving grace she had from Dani seeing her cheeks go even darker was the fact that she was about to be walking into a store.&nbsp; The fact that they were in public was enough to have her quickly swallowing and composing her features, summoning the very talent that had made her into who she was.&nbsp; It didn't stop the thought from floating through her head again, nor the sudden image of it being Dani who had been using the toy between her thighs, bringing her to a far deeper orgasm than the small, tension releasing one Franz had.&nbsp; Or even better, using something other than the toy, maybe even her -- Stop!&nbsp; Roslyn's eyes squeezed closed for a moment as she paused beside a rack of tops, ones she had been staring at for the past few minutes without even seeing them.&nbsp; This was insanity.&nbsp; Pure, reckless insanity that had to stop.&nbsp; Immediately.&nbsp; Dani was the best assistant she had ever had -- not that she would admit it aloud to her or anyone -- and the one sure way to screw it up would to be becoming tangled, involved.&nbsp; That would open a whole slew of doors that were simply best left closed.<br><br>Of course, her subconscious had other thoughts and ideas.&nbsp; As Roslyn continued to browse, she kept fantasizing about how Dani would look in certain pieces.&nbsp; There was one particular pant suit that caught Roslyn's attention; it was bold and sensual, a midnight black highlighted with gold and a blood red, the jacket and bodice cutting a deep V that appeared more revealing than it truly was.&nbsp; Made of the best craftsmanship, the material was silky and yet just stiff enough.&nbsp; On Dani she could see her filling it out exquisitely, and knew she had to have it.&nbsp; The pant suit was the only item that Roslyn purchased from <em>Dash</em>, making sure she handled it at the counter when Dani wasn't looking, and instructed for it to be boxed and sent to the hotel, addressed to her assistant, and that anything Dani brought up to the counter was also to be put onto her card.&nbsp; The latter was an instruction that was given with a smile to each of the following stores that Roslyn lead her and Dani into; buying that one pant suit had given her an idea, one that was going to be far too easy to carry out.&nbsp; Dani might be thinking she was turning over a new leaf, but this... this was based on pure selfishness.&nbsp; <br><br>At least, that's what she told herself as they breezed into their next store, <em>Gucci</em>, the sixth so far.&nbsp; In the past stores Roslyn's shopping had increased greatly, the starlet having dropped nearly thirty grand so far on clothing, shoes and jewelry.&nbsp; There was plenty she didn't try on, and even more she fluttered her lashes at Dani at and prodded her to try on, insisting she needed the clothing to be modeled.&nbsp; Roslyn hoped she played it up enough that Dani hadn't become suspicious, and if there was a question asked, simply saying, "You're about the same size of my favorite cousin," was an answer the starlet had ready.&nbsp; It was only Dani Roslyn shopped for, half of the purchases going to be filling out her own wardrobe, but her assistant was on the forefront of her mind as the day progressed.&nbsp; Even to the point where she took Dani's opinion, unsolicited or not, and made a few purchases -- more than a few -- that were steered by Dani's guidance.&nbsp; She could not say where the overwhelming need came from, to please Dani, but for now Roslyn could find no faults in letting herself give in to that need.&nbsp; It made everything easier to handle, even the smattering of tourists that caught sight of her when she and Dani emerged a half hour later, another few thousand dollars well spent and even more boxes being sent back to the hotel. <br><em><br>"Oh my God!&nbsp; Is that... ?"<br><br>"Roslyn Hayes?"<br><br>"Roslyn!&nbsp; OH MY GOD!&nbsp; Roslyn Hayes!"<br><br>"Holy shit!&nbsp; She's here!"<br><br>"Roslyn!&nbsp; Can I have your autograph?!"<br><br>"Over here!&nbsp; Roslyn, over here!"<br><br>"I love you, Roslyn!"<br><br>"A picture!&nbsp; Get a picture!&nbsp; Henry!"&nbsp; </em><br><br>Roslyn's lashes fluttered behind her sunglasses as she glanced up and saw the tourists.&nbsp; What had started as one loud whisper between two friends had spread like wildfire along the shopping avenue of Union Square.&nbsp; Cell phones were being whipped out as people snapped quick pictures or started sending texts to their friends.&nbsp; Roslyn didn't have to hear the word spreading: she could see the ripple effect.&nbsp; Saw even more evidence of it as people were starting to come closer, digging for pens, paper, anything to say they had seen one of their favorite celebrities, or one of the Hollywood A List, and to give proof of their witness, and clamoring to get close to her.&nbsp; For a moment Roslyn reached for Dani's hand, held onto it as her chest fluttered and her breath caught, her smile somehow remaining even as the crowds closed in.&nbsp; She could have walked away.&nbsp; Maybe she should have.&nbsp; Before the chaos descended there had been at least a few moments where she and Dani could have just turned around, walked back into Gucci and stayed there in sanctuary, knowing the manager was hovering even now, ready to open the door and lock it behind her.&nbsp; Yet, she stayed.&nbsp; Her smile seemed to widen as she slid up her sunglasses, baby blue eyes flashing as she glanced over those who had been lucky enough to be at the forefront or had squirmed their way there. <br><br>With a quick look to Dani, and a signal for her to call the driver, Roslyn stepped forward and knelt down to the little girl, no more than six or seven, who had come up with her very excited mother.&nbsp; In less than ten seconds Roslyn had made a friend for life in the little girl and knew she had made the mother's day as she posed with the three of them and then slid her designer frames onto the little girl's face and gave her a kiss on the cheek. For the next twenty minutes Roslyn stood there signing autographs, was mentally aware of the cameras that flashed around her, and even kept smiling each time she stood there next to one of the fans as their images were forever captured together.&nbsp; Inwardly she was waiting for the driver and cursing herself.&nbsp; It wasn't that she was opposed to this -- her fans were one of the reasons why she had so much success, after all! -- but that she hadn't wanted the interruption with the time that had become her and Dani's.&nbsp; And that... that worried her.&nbsp; A lot.&nbsp;

				There was no doubt about it; Today was one for the books. What had started as a <em>very</em> rocky start for both Celebrity and personal assistant had become a day that had bonded them together. At least, it felt that way for Dani who had never seen Roslyn acting so friendly before. In all of her years working with America's Sweetheart, she had known Roslyn to be generous to her friends...her fellow high-status friends. Dani had stood by as Roslyn had booked restaurants for the entire night simply because a friend had just experienced a scandal and they wanted to eat in peace. She'd heard of Roslyn flying a friend half across the world so they would secretly go to rehab. She had heard it all, seen it occasionally and yet...this was the first time Dani had ever seen her treating her personal assistant as a...human. And Dani could do nothing more than to take it all in strides. After all, she also knew about Roslyn's quick mood swings so she knew that at any moment, her boss could flip scripts on her. What worried her the most was that...she truly did not think Roslyn was going to do that. At least, not today.<br><br>As Roslyn kept asking her to try on outfits and model for her, Dani did everything and more. Normally, she never questioned or commented on what Roslyn wore but...a part of her was testing out just how far this new 'budding' friendship would take her. She began to quietly mention the colors that complimented Roslyn the most and then by the end of their 3rd store, Dani was outright telling Roslyn what clothes made her look slimmer, prettier, classy, etc. Slowly Dani was relaxing as well and not thinking of Roslyn as her boss but a friend. Every where they were going, Dani was chatting with Roslyn and simply enjoying the day out. It wasn't often that Dani stopped and simply enjoyed the different places working with Roslyn took her. In her years working with Roslyn, the locations never mattered for Dani because no matter what...she never got to enjoy them. It wasn't because of Roslyn; quite the contrary, the celebrity often left Dani alone. It was Dani's own personal preference. She wasn't going to enjoy the outing when she knew she had to be on top of Roslyn's schedule.<br><br>Her smile was wide and relaxed when they stepped out of the Gucci store, wearing the new sunglasses Roslyn had purchased for her (honestly, Dani was going to pay for them but Roslyn had plucked them out of her hand!). It did not really surprise her when the tourists suddenly realized that Roslyn was walking among them; it <em>did</em> surprise her when it went from 2-3 to a mass of people crowding her. It was then and there that Dani caught a firsthand look at the way Roslyn operated, and just why all of America loved the blonde celebrity. As she inconspicuously notified Dani to contact Henry, she smiled brightly and did what any celebrity did on a day out and about: she began to indulge her public. Dani sent a quick text message to Henry as she stood close enough that if Roslyn needed her, she would come to her aide. But...Dani quickly realized that Roslyn had everything under control. Glancing over her shoulder, Dani gave a slight shake of her head to the Manager of Gucci -- who had opened the door and was about to notify Roslyn to head back inside -- and simply shifted closer to Roslyn so that she could effectively block the manager from grabbing the celebrity. As much as Dani had enjoyed the time alone with Roslyn, she had been mentally counting the minutes until this exact moment happened.<br><br>It wasn't that Dani <em>wanted</em> this to happen; she just knew that it would have. Roslyn lived a privileged life and everyone wanted a moment in the spotlight with her.<br><br>...Including...Dani.<br><br>The thought made her frown slightly but just as she went to take a step away from Roslyn, she saw the limo coming down the street. A small smile crossed over her lips and she wondered if Henry had been tailing them; he sure had arrived pretty quickly. She slid her hand down and grasped Roslyn's hand, squeezing it lightly as she tilted her head to the limo that was pulling up in front of the store -- where the huge mass of fans were crowding a bit closer and closer with each shuffle. Henry, bless him, quickly got out of the car and moved around to open the door, his tone firm as he called out, "Excuse me...Excuse me." The minute Dani saw a small spot form, she squeezed Roslyn's hand and began to pull her towards the limousine. The fans continued to snap pictures and call out to Roslyn and even though Dani felt a bit bad that Roslyn wasn't going to be able to take a picture with every single fan...she knew that would be a loosing battle. No matter what, Roslyn had a large fan-base and word would spread quickly and more people would continue to show up. Better for Dani to take her out now than to try and move through the masses later on.<br><br>"Come on," Dani called out as she moved aside and let Roslyn go in first. She flashed Henry a smile of gratitude and as soon as there was space, Dani slid inside and let out a sigh of relief when Henry slammed the door shut. Pushing her glasses up to her hair, she turned sparkling eyes to Roslyn and couldn't help but chuckle, "Well...that was quite a rush." Her eyes scanned over Roslyn's features as she added apologetically, "Sorry if I pushed you, I didn't want the crowd to get any bigger and for it to become even more of a pain to leave." Taking a deep breath, she chuckled lightly as looked out the window, seeing that Henry was already driving them away from Union Square. Reaching out, she squeezed Roslyn's hand once more, lingering a bit longer than she should have as she asked softly, "Is there somewhere else you'd like to go...? Maybe we can have dinner at the hotel?" Her smile was easygoing, showing Roslyn that whatever she decided...Dani would go with it.

				Roslyn didn't want this day to end with Dani.&nbsp; She realized that she laughed softly at the brunette and settled into the limo beside her, the crowd of waving and excited fans already becoming a blur in her mind -- except for that little girl and her mother.&nbsp; In that one moment she had seen a reflection of herself in that little girl's eyes, and it was a reflection she was struggling with.&nbsp; Today was turning into one where she couldn't stop briefly examining herself and she knew what the reason was.&nbsp; She was sitting right next to her.&nbsp; Part of her bristled at the fact, at even the hint that Dani could have enough influence to make her start questioning what she did, who she was some of the time.&nbsp; And part of her... part of her yearned to see that smile again from Dani.&nbsp; The one where she was perfectly relaxed, not angry at her boss or something she had done or said, and was just being herself with Roslyn.&nbsp; It was the smile she saw when she glanced up at her assistant and felt her breath nearly stolen away. <br><br>Or maybe the latter was from how her hand was tingling beneath Dani's.&nbsp; Dani's skin felt so warm and soft, Roslyn couldn't help letting her thumb lightly brush along Dani's palm when her hand finally drew away.&nbsp; "I think I'm all shopped out for today, though I did remember that I'd like to make a few stops in New York City when we're there.&nbsp; Dinner at the hotel sounds fantastic.&nbsp; I insist on a couple bottles of their best champagne, as well.&nbsp; We can have a wonderful girls' night.&nbsp; Nothing too healthy tonight?&nbsp; It is a splurge day, after all, and I'll have to be watching what I eat like a hawk soon."&nbsp; Not that she normally didn't already.&nbsp; "Oh, I think my suite has a jacuzzi, too.&nbsp; We should definitely give that a try."&nbsp; Roslyn hadn't even thought to pack a swimsuit or had purchased one, and she knew Dani hadn't either, but Roslyn couldn't think of that being an objection to the pair of them enjoying a hot soak.&nbsp; The thought alone of Dani lowering herself into the tub, steam rising up and curling around her trim figure, over the curve of her breasts... <br><br>Furiously Roslyn blinked and suddenly glanced away, shifted on the seat.&nbsp; She had meant to move away but the shift of her body only had her thigh brushing along Dani's and Roslyn found she couldn't move away, not even if her life had depended on it.&nbsp; It wasn't the first time she and Dani had sat with their thighs touching, but it was a very rare occasion and it wasn't until this time Roslyn found herself stirred, wanting to increase the pressure.&nbsp; Although she didn't, she was very aware of her assistant, and the limo ride back to the hotel felt like the longest one of her life.&nbsp; The muscles Franz had tirelessly worked on earlier were already starting to tighten again.&nbsp; She had to start thinking about something else -- anything else!&nbsp; Otherwise the limo ride was going to start to become unbearable and Roslyn wasn't going to be able to explain <em>why</em> she was suddenly feeling tense for no apparent reason.&nbsp; Gently clearing her throat, she latched onto the first ideas that came to mind and parted her lips.&nbsp; <br><br>"So, I was thinking.&nbsp; If Roslyn's Kids is half as successful as I'm hoping it will be, I'd like to look into setting up a non-profit support fund for single parents.&nbsp; I don't really have a lot of ideas about it so far, but that's where my next ... philanthropic interests will be.&nbsp; Maybe something for those in really rural areas.&nbsp; I remember how barren my home state was -- is, really; nothing around for miles and very, very few opportunities.&nbsp; I keep telling my cousin, the only one I really like out of the bunch, to come out to LA.&nbsp; She's absolutely gorgeous, tall, long wavy hair, could easily get her a modeling agent and likely a contract -- without my help.&nbsp; Instead she's still waitressing for her dad's diner, worried about leaving him with no help or really just going somewhere new.&nbsp; I think I may have convinced her to at least come for a brief visit in between shoots."&nbsp; Roslyn sighed, part relief and part out of minor frustration with her cousin.&nbsp; The relief was that they had arrived back at the hotel and the distraction had worked for her.&nbsp; At the very least she wasn't thinking of Dani naked anymore or wondering how her thigh would feel under the touch of her hand.&nbsp; At least... she hadn't been until the limo came to a stop and she shifted without thinking, their thighs once more brushing.&nbsp; <em>Damnit.</em><br><br>When she finally stepped out of the window, she deeply inhaled and made sure she was at least a foot from Dani when they went back into the hotel.&nbsp; At first she was turning for the elevator when she gave pause and flickered her eyes to the stairs.&nbsp; What floor was she on?&nbsp; Withholding a sigh, she continued for the large, glass elevator and hit the button for their floor once both of them were inside.&nbsp; She didn't say a word until the ding came for their floor and she stepped out, giving a glance to the only other door on the hallway.&nbsp; This floor consisted of two suites, one on the left and one on the right.&nbsp; Roslyn turned to the right and as she entered into the suite, she let out a soft gasp of delight.&nbsp; "Oh, wow, Dani.&nbsp; You really picked a winner this time."<br><br>The suite was large and certainly luxurious, the main door opening into the small foyer and into the sitting room, the wall a line of diamond dusted windows; a bar sat nestled in the corner with a curved, marble top island and four empty bar stools, two long, black couches perfectly arranged with a couple of small glass top coffee tables, a hidden, large screen plasma television, and bouquets of fresh white roses and lilies, Roslyn's favorite flowers, were scattered in slender crystal all over the rooms.&nbsp; To the left she saw the large bedroom with its connected balcony and the white canopied bed that dominated the center of it, at least the size of a California king and raised onto a pedestal; beside it she saw the neat pile of all their shopping bags and boxes.&nbsp; Further on it led to the master bath and the jacuzzi tub she had mentioned.&nbsp; To the right her eyes glanced over the private dining room, a chandelier glittering and sparkling above the glossy table, and further down that hall was the door leading into the second bedroom, likely to be equally as impressive as the master, and its own private connected bath.&nbsp; Roslyn's lips curved as her eyes swept back to the two gift baskets that were sitting on the coffee table, stuffed with champagne, expensive chocolates, fruits, and a small stuffed panda bear (apparently someone had read one of her first interviews when she mentioned pandas being her favorite animals); she only smiled wider when she saw that one was addressed to her and the other to Dani.&nbsp;

				Even if Roslyn had meant nothing by the jacuzzi comment, Dani's mind went into overdrive as she thought about taking a hot soak with her boss. There was no problem with her enjoying the jacuzzi with Roslyn...but there <em>was</em> a problem with both of them sharing it naked. Because last she checked, Dani and Roslyn hadn't packed or purchased any bathing suits. And Dani was trying her best not to think of Roslyn naked and laying close to her as they both relaxed under the vibrations and relaxation of the jacuzzi tub. Sweat glistening off of Roslyn's neck...trickling down her chest to travel between her breasts...Dani blinked a few times, trying her best to get the thought out of her head. Thankfully Roslyn mentioned Roslyn's Kids and it worked in shifting Dani's thoughts away from...the dangerous ones.<br><br>They didn't really get a chance to speak about Roslyn's Kids since right afterward the limo stopped in front of the hotel. Dani stepped out with Roslyn but unlike her boss, she wasn't focusing on the hotel and the beautiful layout before her. She was mentally going over figures and planning how to make the organization work. Dani just knew that if Roslyn devoted some of her time to the charity work, she would be a great public figure. All Dani had to do was make sure Roslyn put her partying and drinking days behind her. That could work, right? Roslyn was doing so well already...Dani could just add a few more suggestions and the celebrity would be on her way to permanent stardom. She just had to make sure and thread lightly on how she worded things; Roslyn was not one to take orders, she was one to plan and think things through herself. And Dani had to make her think she <em>had</em> thought it by herself. It wasn't manipulation! It was merely some suggestions.<br><br>"Oh..." Dani blinked as she realized that not only had they gone up the elevator without her realization, they had also entered the suite and it was marvelous. She didn't like patting herself on the back but she truly had done a good job and she was glad! Dani couldn't really deal with her boss' objections to her room. It was sometimes so annoyingly embarrassing how Roslyn wanted everything perfect, everything catered to her. Forcing those thoughts away from her, Dani smiled brightly when she saw one of the gift baskets addressed to her. Now that was nice! Walking towards the baskets, Dani glanced at Roslyn and grinned widely, "Are you sure we need to order more champagne? Between the two of us there..." Dani counted quickly and let out a slight laugh, "six bottles." She shook her head, wondering who in the world would offer to send someone a gift basket full of 3 champagne's, chocolates and little variety of things here and there. It was expensive...and thoughtful.<br><br>Taking the sunglasses out of her hair, Dani walked around the hotel suite with Roslyn and couldn't help but grin widely, "I think...if everything goes well...then a thank-you letter should be sent here so that everyone will know the great service of this hotel." She shook her head and went to her bedroom, curiosity getting the best of her and wanting to see the luxury she was going to be enjoying for the night. Pushing the door open, Dani let out a small sigh of pleasure, seeing that her bags were already in the large and beautiful room. It wasn't as extravagant as Roslyn's room but still...it was off the charts. She knew if she had been traveling by herself, she would have never stayed in a room like this. But with Roslyn?...Everything had to be the best.<br><br>Dropping her sunglasses on the bed, Dani kicked off her shoes and walked back into the living room, calling out, "Alright, Ros, why don't you look at the Menu and we can go ahead and order." She opened her gift basket and winked, "I'll pop open one of the bubblies and we can relax while the food is being brought to us." A small part of her wondered if it was wise to drink after the slight tension there had been between them. The tension hadn't been negative at all; it had been full of sexual awareness. Dani had a feeling that adding alcohol to the mix wasn't going to be a good idea. But...what the hell? It was just the two of them, the worse that could happen is the two women make idiots out of themselves and then waking up with hangovers. With that thought in mind, Dani uncorked the champagne bottle and began to fill the glasses (which had been included in the gift basket!) almost all the way up. Setting the bottle on the table, she walked over to Roslyn and handed her the glass, her smile wide and her eyes sparkling with pleasure and excitement. "To our first girls night out...and to many many more!"<br><br>Taking a sip of her drink, Dani made her way to the doors that led to the balcony and pushed them open. She took another sip as she walked out and felt the breeze caress her face. For one wild moment, Dani closed her eyes and wondered how it would feel to be touched and caressed out in the balcony, to feel someone's hands touching her body out in such a public spot. True, no one could see her...but still, it was very arousing to think about. She could also feel Roslyn's hands -- what? No! Her eyes snapped open as her breathing stilled, wondering where in the hell that thought had come from. Swallowing hard, Dani tried to think of something else to distract her. "So, do you think that your cousin visiting might mean that she would be more inclined to stay in Hollywood with you?" She swallowed hard, licking her lips as she took another drink of the champagne, "Maybe she can help you run Roslyn Kids?" Belatedly, Dani wondered if it was a good idea to have any of Roslyn's family members involved in such a public organization. God forbid, Roslyn and her cousin get into a heated debate and turn Roslyn's Kids into a family war zone. Letting her eyes drift shut, Dani tried to count backwards from ten. She had to control her thoughts and emotions; she was suggesting stupid things just to get out of thinking of Roslyn...and the attraction she was quickly starting to feel for her boss.

				"I think we should definitely make this our place to stay the next time we come here," Roslyn called out as she slipped off her sandals near her closet, gave a rueful eye to the mountain of shopping bags and boxes spread over the armchairs, and the bench and near the foot of the bed on the floor.&nbsp; She knew it must be at least twice of big in Dani's room considering how much she'd bought for her.&nbsp; That Roslyn smiling, thinking of that the next time she glanced at Dani, she could be wearing something they'd bought today.&nbsp; A reminder of everything -- almost everything -- that had happened, of what was... changing.&nbsp; Were things changed?&nbsp; Hadn't they already to some degree?&nbsp; She wasn't sure.&nbsp; Today had felt so wonderful... what about when they woke up tomorrow and it was business as usual?&nbsp; That had her slightly frowning, still idly listening to Dani, as she turned and barely managed to stop when Dani came up with the glass of champagne.&nbsp; She accepted it with a smile, lightly chinking the glasses together, and took a healthy swallow as Dani wandered back out.&nbsp; <br><br>They were going to need suitcases, she mused with another glance to the pile.&nbsp; Her lips parted automatically to call for Dani to call down to the desk and inquire about getting some when she gave a small shrug of her slender shoulders and walked for the phone on the bed stand.&nbsp; It couldn't be so terrible, could it?&nbsp; Taking another drink, she punched in the 0 for the Guest Services line and gave a soft hum when the jazzy music played while the extension dialed; it lasted for no more than a mere bar before someone was picking up sounding professional and yet friendly, eager to serve.&nbsp; Briefly Roslyn wondered if they had extension IDs, figured they did.&nbsp; It took less than thirty seconds for her to be assured the hotel's store would be sending over two sets of Louis Vuitton luggage to her suite that evening, and she heard the smile in his voice when she told him to apply a twenty percent tip for the service.&nbsp; And when she made sure Dani wasn't about to come walking in, she gave a hushed whisper of thanks for them having the extra basket ready with hers.&nbsp; That done, she finally wandered out into the living room to pursue the menu.&nbsp; She stopped dead when she caught sight of Dani standing out on the balcony, the hush of sunset basking over her beautiful form.&nbsp; <br><br>Roslyn's heart stopped.&nbsp; She couldn't breathe.&nbsp; Dani looked so... Roslyn didn't have a word.&nbsp; Beautiful seemed far too inadequate, as did ravishing, breathtaking, gorgeous.&nbsp; She swallowed hard as she slowly blinked and forced herself to look away, finished the rest of the champagne in her glass in one large gulp.&nbsp; <em>Menu, menu, menu.&nbsp; Dinner.&nbsp; Think.&nbsp; </em> Picking up the leather bound guest service book from the coffee table, she flipped to the dinner menu and began to browse while filling her champagne glass; her ears perked when she heard Dani.&nbsp; Roslyn's kids.&nbsp; Her cousin. <br><br>"I'm not sure she'd be a good fit for that," Roslyn said, breathing easier now that her mind was focusing on things that didn't include Dani.&nbsp; Again.&nbsp; "Mostly I'm hoping that when she visits she'll see there's more opportunities for her than she realizes.&nbsp; Yes, I do want to ... dazzle her a bit, but not the entire time or too much.&nbsp; I was thinking of arranging for a photo shoot, something casual, perhaps set it up where the second actress or model doesn't show -- not that there ever was one -- and I get her to substitute.&nbsp; I know she'll do it, especially if the photographer helps."&nbsp; Where were these thoughts coming from?&nbsp; Yes, once in a while she thought of dragging her cousin out here, but now she was scheming?&nbsp; Nothing she had said about her cousin wasn't true, and Roslyn did think she'd make a natural model, but now she was just going off on whims.&nbsp; Whims she was going to have to remember.&nbsp; "If nothing else, maybe she'll catch someone's eye who she can't resist and who can't live without her.&nbsp; I certainly don't know what I'd do without you," the latter came so casually off her tongue, Roslyn's eyes flickering toward Dani before back down to the menu.&nbsp; <br><br>Decisions made, she turned for the phone in the living room and pressed 3 for Room Service.&nbsp; A couple minutes later she hung up having ordered one of everything, sort of.&nbsp; Looking at the menu had been useless and she'd simply told the chef that everything looked too good, what could he recommend?&nbsp; When he'd offered to create a unique menu sampler, a little bit of everything off the menu just for her, Roslyn almost laughed, thanked him with a grin, and was assured it would be up within the half hour. <br><br>"We're all good for dinner, about a half hour," she called out, picking up the champagne glass and carrying it out to the balcony.&nbsp; Her heart quickened with every step that drew her closer to her assistant and she wondered if it was at all a good idea being out here with her.&nbsp; But, Roslyn couldn't resist.&nbsp; She <em>wanted</em> to be standing here with Dani, enjoying the sunset, feeling the salty breeze and sipping champagne.&nbsp; It was a scene meant for lovers, to ensnare their senses and keep them lured and intertwined with the passion they found in each other.&nbsp; Thankfully it didn't seem she would have much of a choice, whether or not she could withstand the imagery, as the bell to their suite sounded just as she set down the champagne bottle on the small, glassy top table.&nbsp; "Oh!&nbsp; That must be the luggage.&nbsp; I got two sets.&nbsp; Figured we needed some way to get all of this to NYC in an organized fashion," she said, winking at the end, knowing the organization was more for Dani's sake than her own, and turned to go for the door and their luggage.&nbsp; <br><br>

				"Oh that would be a good idea," Dani murmured as she turned back to look at Roslyn, pleased that while she had been accepting of her cousin coming to visit, she hadn't taken Dani up on the offer about Roslyn's Kids. She didn't know where that had come from -- she truly had to stop and think before she spoke -- but she was glad that the idea had been kicked back out. She was pleased that even as Roslyn nixed the idea, she also brought up an idea of her own. Normally, Dani was the one to have to think of the plans...it felt <em>good</em> to bounce ideas around with Roslyn and get each others input. Like they were a team...not just boss and employee. She rather liked that quite a bit. That made Dani pause slightly; one trip to San Fran and all of a sudden everything was changing. Was the change there...lurking...? Or was this brought forth by something else? She wasn't too sure and because of that, Dani didn't know whether to be pleased by this...or concerned that something was in the works that she had yet to put her finger on.<br><br>Forcing the thoughts to go back to Roslyn's cousin, Dani looked up just as Roslyn was headed towards her with the champagne bottle but the sound of the door surprised her. She frowned, was food here already? Ros had just made the call. But almost as if she had heard her inquiry, Roslyn supplied the answer. Dani nodded before she reached for the bottle and filled her glass once more. And slowly, little by little...what Roslyn said began to sink in. Two sets.&nbsp; When Dani had walked into her room, she hadn't even paid attention to the shopping bags in her room; she had figured that room service had put them in her room so that she could pack it away for Roslyn. But now Roslyn was speaking about two sets and Dani knew that even though she had <em>a lot</em> of shopping bags...a set of two seemed a bit too much. "Roslyn, wait--" As she walked towards her boss to inquire as to why two sets, Dani turned her head and caught sight of Roslyn's room. And the bags on <em>her</em> bed.<br><br>Bags in her room. Bags in Roslyn's room. Holy shit! She had not bought that much! "Wait, there's gotta be some sort of mistake--" But a slight flutter had appeared in Dani's stomach as she turned and made her way into her bedroom. She began to open up a few bags, realizing that in her excitement of the room, she had missed that some of the shopping bags in her room said the name of the stores that she hadn't bought anything in. And there...as she opened up some of the bags, she saw the clothes she had modeled for Roslyn. <em>No!</em> For...Roslyn's...cousin?<br><br>It slowly dawned on her what Roslyn had done. All of the clothes that Dani had tried on, that she had modeled for the sake of Roslyn's 'cousin' had been purchased...for her. Her eyes widened as she sat down on the bed, unable to believe that her boss had done something like that. Never...Roslyn had never done that before. She had never shown such...attention to Dani. As she gently traced over the beautiful yellow pattern on the shirt she had fallen in love with, Dani didn't understand what the hell was going on. It wasn't the possibility of something changing...something <em>had</em> changed. Whether Dani was ready to admit it or not, both boss and employee had crossed a line and now they were...well, they couldn't go back to simply being work-mates. And as she continued to sit there for a few seconds, Dani finally admitted to herself that...hell, she didn't want them to go back to being simply 'Boss and employee'. She wanted a friendship with Roslyn...she wanted more, but she wasn't ready to explore those feelings yet.<br><br>Swallowing hard, Dani stood up and went to her door frame, looking at Roslyn. Her smile was soft and a bit...shy. "You bought all this for me...you didn't tell me." She took a sip of the champagne -- more like swallowed half of it -- before she set it down and went to Roslyn, giving her a slow smile. Speaking quietly and sincerely she murmured, "I'm going to hug you, Roslyn. Because today has been...amazing. Completely amazing. I could have never afforded those clothes all in one swoop! That would have taken me at least two years of saving my money. So...thank you." Dani slowly wrapped her arms around her boss, giving her a soft hug.<br><br>It was a mistake to hug Roslyn, Dani knew it the instant their bodies connected. A very soft tremor ran down her spine as she felt the softness of Roslyn and caught the scent of her. She hadn't been this close to the celebrity in quite some time and even though she took care of her every whim and desire, it was always from a distance. Today, not only had she smacked Roslyn's ass and had gotten to see her naked (and sexually pleasured), she was now getting to hug her as a friend. Turning her head, Dani whispered softly, "Thank you...so much..!" She pressed a soft kiss to Roslyn's cheek and lingered there a few seconds longer than she should have. Deep down inside, Dani knew she was playing with fire. If she did something that Roslyn did not find acceptable, she could easily be fired and would never find work again. But...she wanted to see what Roslyn would do. Would she simply step away and say it was nothing...or would she do something.

				There were a million of flippant excuses Roslyn could have given for why she had really bought the clothes: as her assistant, Dani needed to look as well dressed as she did since she was a reflection of the starlet, that she was making up -- still -- for last night and this morning, or that she had simply felt like it.&nbsp; More and more ran through her mind, each one as ridiculous as the last, but deep inside the blond starlet knew the truth.&nbsp; The truth that showed in her eyes as she watched Dani, saw the way her face lit up when she realized the clothing was for her, and was fighting not to smile so widely as the brunette drew closer to her.&nbsp; That one moment, seeing the way her eyes had brightened, the way her cheeks had colored, and the brief bafflement had been worth every penny and more.&nbsp; Roslyn didn't want to examine the why of that, she wasn't close to being ready to, but she'd be damned if she didn't allow herself the pleasure of seeing the way Dani reacted. <br><br>Or the surprise of how her body flushed warm when Dani's arms were coming around her.&nbsp; The warning hadn't been enough.&nbsp; Nothing could have prepared her for the way Dani's body felt against hers or the way her arms wrapped around her body.&nbsp; She was useless to do anything but let her own arms wrap around, gently molding herself to her assistant as she returned the hug.&nbsp; One deep breath was all it took to have her senses flooded with Dani's scent, the way her hair softly trickled along her nose, and in that moment she knew she would have done it all over again.&nbsp; Not even this morning would have been changed since this afternoon, this moment right here, wouldn’t have happened with it.&nbsp; <br><br>The kiss, though, held her with some surprise.&nbsp; It was just on the cheek, but Dani’s lips were so silky and soft, her breath wonderfully warm, and within her assistant’s arms, Roslyn shivered.&nbsp; Her breath caught as she smiled and did not lift her head until she felt Dani’s lips moving away, and it was then her blond head turned and her own lips grazed along Dani’s cheek in return.&nbsp; The sensation of feeling of her skin was nearly intoxicating, but Roslyn didn’t linger.&nbsp; She knew if she had she would have likely done something rash and impulsive, and that would have lead them straight to trouble.&nbsp; Big trouble.&nbsp; Instead she forced her arms to loosen and to take a small step back, her eyes still bright and warm when they swept back to Dani’s. <br><br>“You’re very welcome,” she murmured, her fingers moving in a caress as they went down Dani’s arms to claim her hands for a gentle squeeze.&nbsp; No, she didn’t have to touch her like that but it was innocent… enough.&nbsp; “I have to admit I partly did it because I’m still feeling bad about last night and this morning, and because I don’t spoil you enough, and well…”&nbsp; No, the well couldn’t be said.&nbsp; She realized that with a suddenness that had her pressing her lips together and grinning instead, forcing a casual shrug of her shoulders.&nbsp; This time she stepped back more, turning to reclaim their discarded champagne glasses and the bottle.&nbsp; “And, well, I wanted to.&nbsp; I take you for granted a lot of the time.&nbsp; Thought it would be nice to actually let you know how much I do … appreciate and value you.”&nbsp; Those weren’t the words she wanted, but for now… for now they would have to do. <br><br>Refilling their glasses, she turned back and smiled softly.&nbsp; “Now, I have an idea.&nbsp; How about we get into those fluffy robes in the bathroom and finish this bottle of champagne while we’re waiting for dinner?&nbsp; I don’t know about you, but I’m all for nothing but comfort and pleasure tonight.”&nbsp; The moment she said those words her eyes widened and it was clear she had wished she had chosen any other adjective than pleasure, a small blush quickly flashing over her cheeks before she willed it away.&nbsp; This was going to be a long night, she thought, and swallowed half of her glass. <br>

				Oh it had been such a stupid thing to do! So so stupid, Dani internally reprimanded herself as she felt Roslyn kiss her cheek and then pull away. But the contact wasn't fully removed, she felt Roslyn slide her fingers down to grab her hand and Dani automatically squeezed her fingertips. She swallowed hard, feeling a bit breathless and trying her best not to seem affected. This was ridiculous! What in the world was making her see Roslyn in this way? This wasn't...appropriate whatsoever! But try as she might, now that the Pandora's box had been partially opened...it wouldn't close. And now, it not only would not close...the ideas were slowly flowing from it and they were becoming stronger by the second. And try as she might, Dani couldn't make them stop! She couldn't make them go away!<br><br>"Ah..." She blinked, realizing she had been in her own world and Roslyn had been speaking. And everything Roslyn was saying were things Dani wanted -- and needed -- to hear! There were often times were she felt that Roslyn appreciated her...but never had the celebrity really said it. And like any personal assistant, Dani needed to make sure that Roslyn was pleased with her. Because if she wasn't...well, Dani knew what happened to personal assistants. She couldn't help the pleased smile that crossed her lips as she murmured, "Roslyn...you've made me feel...completely spoiled today." And it was true; never had she felt more valued as an employee...and friend.<br><br>As she heard Roslyn's idea, Dani reached for the champagne glass and almost dropped it. <em>Nothing but comfort and pleasure tonight.</em> Pleasure. An image of Roslyn in the spa popped up, the buzzing sound loud in Dani's ear even though she knew it wasn't there anymore. Oh God, she was becoming obsessed with Roslyn and what had happened and it wasn't...it wasn't even meant towards her. Roslyn had just needed some release and if Dani had been there or not, she would have received it! So Dani needed to stop thinking of her boss in that way. But the idea lingered...and it began to fester in her head so much that she took a swig of the champagne, almost finishing it in one swallow.<br><br>"I think..." She swallowed hard, clearing her throat and forcing herself to smile in a relaxed way. "...that's a great idea! We can eat outside and enjoy the San Francisco night...and just relax! I like your way of thinking, Ros!" Dani reached for the champagne bottle and was about to top herself off when she frowned, realizing they were almost out of the first bottle. Well that wasn't good at all...she poured herself the remaining amount before she wiggled it and grinned at Roslyn, "We're done with the first one!" Her smile was wide and friendly as she passed by Roslyn and called over her shoulder, "I'm going to pop another one open and have it ready. I think the food should be--" Before she finished the comment there came a knock at the door and she chuckled, "...here soon."<br><br>She set the bottle and her glass down on the dining table and walked towards the door. The alcohol was slowly making its way through her system, and while Dani wasn't drunk, she was feeling pretty damn good. As she opened the door, she ushered the staff inside with the two carts of food. She looked at Roslyn and laughed lightly, "Did you order the entire place, Ros?" Her voice was clearly amused, pleased by what she was seeing. The entire day was simply getting better and better!
