Episode One-hundred-Twenty: Future Business

“God, she looks so sexy when she’s stretched out like that,” I heard Edward whisper. I was lying flat on my stomach, my face smashed into the pillow. My leg was drawn up underneath me, and my nightgown was hitched over my ass. It was dark outside still. I hadn’t noticed my alarm. They were sitting up beside me.

“Mm, yes, she does,” Jasper answered as his fingers dragged over my thigh. He leaned over and lightly kissed my shoulder. It was so gentle.

“It makes me want to do dirty things.”

“Do the dirty things,” I mumbled sleepily, making Jasper chuckle.

Edward laughed as he slouched down to kiss my exposed skin. “You don’t know what I want to do.”

“I don’t care,” I answered, not opening my eyes. “I’ll like it.”

Suddenly, he pushed forward and aggressively buried his face between my thighs. I giggled and squealed a little in surprise, shifting onto my knees as I hid my face in the pillow.

“Oh, god!” He didn’t stop, making my toes curl. I reached behind me to play with his hair as he continued to give me attention. “We probably don’t have time for that,” I moaned.

Hovering over me, his fingers played between my legs as he kissed the back of my neck. “We might. How quick can you be?”

“You know the answer to that, but you don’t want to be late on your last day,” I teased. “You’ve done well so far.”

“You told me to do dirty things.”

Laughing, I lifted to give him better access. “I know, I know. I forgot what we were doing for a minute.” I spread open my knees more. “Oh, yes…” I moaned as he massaged my clit. “We need to take a shower.” I was trying to be responsible, but my body was arguing.

“Can we play with you in there?” He asked seductively as he pulled my panties down a little.

When I felt Jasper’s fingers join in, it was challenging to think. Whimpering, I pressed my face back into the fluffy cushion. They pushed inside of me while Edward continued to play between my legs. “Oh, oh, oh, yes, yes, yes…”

I came quickly. Edward chuckled proudly to himself. When he finally pulled his hand away, he smacked my ass. “Come on, pretty girl. I want to fuck you in the shower.”

We were fifteen minutes late, but because of a traffic accident on the interstate. My hair was still wet, and I didn’t have makeup on. I barely had time to put clothes on. Edward was sleepily lounging in the middle, an arm around both of us as he dozed. He had more than his fair share of fun already and had worn himself out happily.

Tasha and George were patiently waiting outside of the trailer. They had already done Sarah’s styling since they knew we were running late. Our new friend was hanging out with them. Excited to see us, she popped up off the table. She bounced over and hugged me. Once again, she was in the pristine yellow hoodie with blue jeans that I saw her in for the very first time.

Jasper was wearing a tight black t-shirt that stretched over his muscular chest and jeans, his pretty honey-blond hair pushed back. It was ever so slightly curly. He looked delicious. She stopped and checked him out hard. “If you’re single, I definitely have some gay friends that would love you.” She didn’t even say hello. It shocked him.

“I’m not,” he spouted out in surprise. “I mean, I have a boyfriend.” He cleared his throat. I saw Edward smirk a little to himself, looking away.

“He’s cute, too,” I cooed as I dragged Sarah along to draw her attention off of him. “Have you had breakfast? It was hard to get out of bed this morning, and we were running behind. We didn’t have time to eat.”

She put her arm around my waist. “You don’t know me well enough yet to know that has never stopped me before,” she stated dryly.

Edward swatted my ass as he went past to unlock the door of the trailer. With a big cheesy grin, he held it open for all the ladies to go in first. I giggled as he winked at me. He let Jasper move ahead of him. He came in last, and I had a feeling he grabbed his butt, too.

There was barely enough space in the camper as Tasha and George fluttered around Edward. Sarah sat on one side of the table. Jasper was going to let me have the other spot and stand in the way, which was stupid. I pushed him down into the chair and perched on his lap.

“Excuse me?” He laughed at my playful roughness. “Are you comfortable?”

“Yup,” I smirked before pressing a mischievous kiss on his cheek. “So, what are we eating? Just want to order a bunch of pastries for everyone?” I mused to the crowd. Jasper wrapped his arm around my waist and rested his chin on my shoulder. He yawned widely, and I rubbed his hair absently.

“Doughnuts always sound wonderful,” Sarah agreed. “Let’s get a huge mix for the whole crew. I’ll split it with you.”

“Sounds good.” Edward nodded, his eyes closed as he had white powder dusted on his nose. “Bella, you pick it out.”

“Two dozen of everything?”

“You should probably get more regular chocolate and glazed than that,” George said sleepily as he brushed his fingers through Edward’s red hair. “There are lots of people here.”

It took me thirty minutes to figure out our order. It was insane. The doughnut shop called to confirm everything to make sure it wasn’t a mistake or a prank. Twenty dozen assorted breakfast goods and several gallons of coffee and hot chocolate was a lot, but they could handle it.

“So, are you excited to be in America finally?” Sarah asked curiously just to make some conversation with Jasper. She leaned forward with her chin on both fists as she watched.

Grinning at her, he patted my stomach as he nodded. “Absolutely. I’m so happy that she talked me into doing it. It’s been a dream so far, but I’ve been ignoring reality hard for the past few days. I’ve not even turned on my mobile since yesterday.”

“That sounds nice,” she remarked with a slight smile. “I haven’t turned my phone off in ages. I need a vacation.” She cocked her head to the side. “It doesn’t bother your boyfriend that it’s off, though?”

“He knows to call mine,” I interjected. I didn’t want him to have to think up lies. “We should go this weekend and get a new one.” I glanced over my shoulder at Jasper.

Edward opened his eyes, smiling at us in the mirror. “That’s a good idea. You can just put it on the channel card since you’ll be using it for work. I’m getting you one, and it should arrive in a few days,” he stated to our boyfriend.

“I don’t need it.”

Sighing, he rolled his eyes. “It’s not for you. It’s for the channel. This stuff is tax exempt because it’s for work. It’s easier to keep track of this way. It’s not for everything,” he said quickly, frowning at his attitude. “Don’t forget that this is a real business, too. I intend to make us lots of money.”

Sarah looked between the boys with a smirk. “So, you are his new producer?”

“I’m a glorified cameraman and editor,” he answered with a sigh. “But I’m thrilled about it. I’m looking forward to when Bella puts me to work.”

“You’ll be a personality in some videos, too,” Edward added. “I can’t wait to see what you two do in the kitchen. It will be great.”

Our friend got a little more animated, bouncing in her seat. “I can’t wait to cook with you! It will be so much fun! Jasper, are you going to be our cameraman?”

“One of,” he chuckled.

“Everyone’s coming over.” Our boyfriend smiled.

I glanced over at her. “Seth and Tyler will help with filming, too. You’ll like them. Think Lauren will be there?” I asked Edward curiously. I hoped she would. It would be entertaining to have my new friends meet.

“I don’t know if she’s working. You can invite her if you’d like. You know that woman won’t turn down free food,” he joked with a naughty smirk. “How does a vegan get so round?”

“Being seven months pregnant with a pizza addiction?” I questioned. “She isn’t eating for two right now. She’s eating for four, at least. I ain’t gonna stop her, though.”

“No, no. You get the pregnant ladies whatever they want. It’s just easier that way,” Jasper huffed, blowing out his cheeks with wide eyes. “Poor Irina is-”

“What?” Edward turned to look at us. “Poor Irina is what? Is she pregnant?”

Flushing, he realized what he said. He hadn’t meant to. “That’s supposed to be a secret until she’s finished her first trimester. Oops.”

“Yes!” He shouted, throwing his arms up in the air. It scared Tasha. “I’m going to be an uncle… again!” He explained with a laugh.

I glanced over my shoulder again at Jasper. “I watched Ava while she ran to the doctor. She didn’t want her family to know yet. I promised not to tell anyone.”

“I won’t say anything. And I’ll be delighted when she tells me. Don’t worry,” he pledged as he closed his eyes again to get some eyeliner.

“So, should I just start up a maternity photography business?” I began sarcastically. “I’ll have all the practice. Lauren, Vanessa, Irina. I wouldn’t be surprised if Tanya or Sasha had another. Then it’s only a matter of time before Rose pops one out. And my sisters. So many women. And they’re all birthing babies!”

“You love it,” my blond chair teased.

I pouted a little. “Just because it’s them, and I adore them. It’s not exactly what I wanted to do. I need to do more magazines and fashion work.”

“Do you want to do some pictures of me for my site?” Sarah asked abruptly, leaning over the table to reach for me. “I’ll pay you.”

“I’d love to!” I quickly stated.

She clapped her hands together. “Awesome! I’ll have my manager contact yours, and we’ll figure out a time. We’ll have to grab lunch and talk about it. I have some ideas about how I want it to look, and I want to see what you think. I might need some visual aids.” She looked off, biting her lip. “I need a Pinterest mood board.” Sarah pulled out her phone, making me giggle. “I’m thinking crazy bubble gum pink candy fantasy land.”

“With rainbow sprinkle lips, a pink cotton candy fro, matching hot pants, and a lollipop?” I teased with a smile.

“Yes! Oh, my god. Yes! Exactly. This will be awesome. I just love all the pictures you took of Eddie for the magazine. Actually, I ordered a bunch of stuff off your site the other day. I’m going to decorate my place in New York with it,” she began to explain casually. “Each area will have a different theme like Queens is my bedroom. Manhattan is my living room, Brooklyn is the kitchen, and the Bronx is the dining room. Coney Island is the bathrooms, and the guest bedrooms are Central Park and Times Square.”

“Wow, really?”

“If we’re ever in New York at the same time, you’ll have to come to see. I got a ton of your postcards, and they’re going to be framed. A lot of posters, too. I’ll frame those as well. My favorite thing is this giant canvas of Gentry State Park at night. It’s the pier with the red lights and the Queens’ bridge. It’s going over my bed.”

I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. I was so touched. “Really?”

“You’re so talented,” she gushed, reaching over to take my hand once more. “I showed your site to a handful of my friends, and they loved it, too.”

Jasper squeezed my waist. “Just wait until you try her cooking. She is an artist in every way.”

“Don’t forget about her music or dancing. Bella is the most artistic person I know,” our boyfriend added in his praise. I clicked my tongue at his sweet words, blushing as I looked away. “And she’s a great writer, too.”

“Stop!” I shook my head. “Don’t tell her that. It’s okay if you like it, or if Jasper does. But don’t go telling people about it. It’s embarrassing.”

“Is it steamy?” George asked with a laugh. He wiggled his eyebrows at me. Tasha swatted him and gave him a dirty look.

Edward sat up a little. “Some of it, yes. But it’s so emotional. You feel everything her characters do. And they have depth. You understand why they’re doing something. Even if it’s wrong. There aren’t straight-up villains for the sake of the plot.”

“Wait. Are you published?” Sarah inquired. I swiftly shook my head.

“It’s online,” Edward stated, pulling out his phone to send her the links.

“Oh, you bastard. Don’t do that,” I whined, making him laugh. Once more, I clicked my tongue and frowned as I glanced away. “You are not my promoter, Tony. Stop it.”

He turned around to look at me with a raised eyebrow. “Pre-fiance, publicist. Same thing, close enough. Why do you call me Tony when you’re annoyed?”

“You’re about to be demoted to regular boyfriend,” Tasha jested in a whisper.

“She’s just mad because she doesn’t like the attention. But it’s good. You should check it out,” he replied with his chin in the air as he turned back around to finish getting his makeup done.

There was a knock at the door, and a security guard yelled that there was a delivery for us. I got up in a hurry to go get it. I was just ready to be finished with the spotlight. Jasper followed me out of the trailer.

“He does it because he loves you,” he murmured.

“I know.” I rolled my eyes. “Still wish that he wouldn’t tell the child star.”

Jasper kissed my cheek, leaning in so that he could talk in my ear. “It is good, though.”

Sarah came up from behind to help. “I can’t wait to read it. There is a lot! What should I start with?”

My boyfriend wrapped his arm around my shoulder as he looked over at the young woman. “There is one about a teenager in her first relationship with a trans girl, and it’s just beautiful,” he informed her. I turned to look at him. He shrugged his shoulders. “Gay best friend, promoter, same thing.” Jasper winked at me.
