Big Time Scandal: Chapter Five

I wasn't sure how long the three of us had walked before arriving at our destination. Logan took us through some secret 'Performers Only' exit near the far edge of the backstage area. From there we weaved our way through a dizzying maze made of plain white walls.

Frankly, it wasn't all that bad though. I found my eyes lowering repeatedly to rest on Logans's wonderful behind as he walked. Whenever I caught myself doing it I mentally slapped myself. Staring at his assets would only get me in trouble. And getting used to staring at them would only suck when this meet-and-greet was over.

After the monotonous white walled maze we emerged into the shopping section of Planet Hollywood. I gazed longingly into store after store as we walked. Being broke most of my life meant I rarely found myself in shops like those. Even when I did, it was never to buy anything. No, it was usually to accompany the occasional friend who had saved up some cash and wanted to splurge.

Before I knew it the shops had faded away and gave way to a beautiful lobby. A security guard nodded at Logan then glared at us as we made our way to the elevators.

"Well....the staff certainly seems to enjoy accommodating fans," I muttered quietly. Logan glanced back and frowned. He looked over at the security guard for a moment, seeming to try and decide whether or not he should say something.

After a moment though, he just looked at me and flashed me an apologetic look. I instantly melted beneath his chocolate gaze.

"Uh....James?" I snapped out of the daze I was in and looked over toward Stella. She was already standing in the elevator alongside Logan, and I stood there like an idiot with a dumb look on my face.

I blushed scarlet and muttered an apology. Logan smiled and shook his head as I took my spot in between the two. The doors slid silently closed and began rising. I glanced at the spot where the buttons usually were but found the panel blank.

My confusion must have been evident because Logan laughed. "V.I.P.'s only," he said smiling. I didn't think I would ever get tired of seeing that dimple. Who would?

After a moment the doors slid open to reveal a gorgeous entry way. It consisted of marble, statues, marble, flowers and marble. Did I forget to mention marble? The smoky gray kind.

That was really all I noticed though before Logan walked out of the elevator, faced us and held his arms out. "Welcome to the Planet Hollywood Penthouse Suite!"
