(Lights come up on Astrick stepping into clear view, watching the fans all around him. He shakes his head, and looks to the hotel doors.)
Astrick: (impatient) Where did they go? (Suddenly feels a shiver rise up his back) No… (We see the images in Astrick’s mind of Nick and Gabrielle, entering his suite and Kevin with Chastity, closing the door behind them. We return to Astrick) Damn it, Leanna!
(The elevator opens behind him and he turns to face Brian, who is being seduced by Devyn. He looks to be under her thrall, his eyes wide and blank.)
(Cut to Brian)
Brian: What’s going on, Devyn?
Devyn: (glares at the crowd of fans) I’m keeping you safe…
Brian: (closes his eyes) We’ve waited so long.
Devyn: I’d make you wait longer, but I don’t need the agrivation. (sends a glance to Astrick and nods) Lets go. (grips around Brian’s wrist)
Brian: (moans) Devyn…
Devyn: You can call me Divine, lover. Call me that tonight.
Brian: Anything you want.
(Reese bursts through the front hotel doors causing the fans to part for her. She is screaming)
Reese: BRIAN! No!
Brian: (starts to snap out of the thrall) Reese…?
Reese: BRIAN!
(Reese stops in front of the elevator. The look between Brian and Reese proves he loves her and she goes to grab him, when Devyn thrusts Brian into a kiss, punching the button that would bring them to the executive floor)
Reese: (pleading) Brian… don’t do this to me.
(Close up on Devyn’s face. Her eyes are shown glowing a frightening red and with a nod of her head Reese crashes back and falls unconscience.)
Devyn: (growls with a laugh) He’s mine.
(The elevator doors close and we follow this scene to Nick’s suite with him and Gabrielle kissing intensely)
Gabrielle: (hesitating) What’s happening? Why can’t I stop? (she tries to yank herself from Nick)
Nick: Please don’t say no, now.
Gabrielle: (responds unwillingly to him) No… (closes her eyes)
(Cut to AJ’s suite)
(Destiny is standing by the door, watching AJ walk up to her seductively)
Destiny: (to AJ) I don’t know what I’m doing.
(Cut to Howie’s suite)
(Rain is slowly closing the suite door behind her) Rain: (to Howie) Shouldn’t love be involved?
(Cut to Nick’s suite)
Nick: Love? (luring Gabrielle to his bed)
Gabrielle: (grips Nick’s collar tightly) Love! I can’t do this without…
(Cut to Howie’s suite)
Rain: Love…
Howie: (approaches Rain to pull her against him) But if I don’t… (kisses her)
(Cut to AJ’s suite)
AJ: (shakes his head) Love you… this will still happen. You can’t deny that, Destiny.
(carries Destiny up into his arms)
Destiny: (demanding passionately) Then, say you love me.
(Cut to Nick’s suite)
Nick: (breathlessly) I love you…
Gabrielle: Do you? (eyes wide and stern on Nick now)
(Cut to AJ’s suite)
AJ: I don’t know… (drops Destiny onto the bed gently, and gazes into her eyes) I don’t know.
(Cut to Nick’s suite)
Nick: I just do… (takes Gabrielle’s hand to kiss each of her fingers)
(Cut to Howie’s suite)
(Howie now has Rain down on his bed. He is bent over her, brushing the stray curls off her face)
Howie: It has to be fate.
(Cut to Kevin’s suite)
(Kevin swings Chastity down on his bed. A look like no other causes his eyes to shimmer. Chastity looks to be entranced by him)
Chastity: (gasping) It IS fate.
(Cut to Nick’s suite)
(Gabrielle lowers onto Nick’s bed. A piece of her is trying to hold back, but the thrall is too strong)
Gabrielle: I’ve never…
(cut to AJ’s suite)
Destiny: Done this… I mean… what if I do this all wrong?
AJ: I’ll teach you…
Destiny: (sighs) I never thought this would happen to me.. these feelings…
(AJ laughs and brings his lips down to Destiny’s)
(Cut to Howie’s suite)
Rain: This is real…
(Cut to Nick’s suite)
Gabrielle: This is right… (accepts Nick’s kisses with fervor)
(Cut to Kevin’s suite)
Chastity: This is amazing…
(Cut to Brian’s suite)
(Devyn, sprawls out on Brian’s bed with an evil grin on her face. Brian crawls over her hypnotically)
Devyn: This has got to be done.
(Cut to Nick’s suite)
(Nick is lifting to peel his shirt over his head) Gabrielle: (glances up at Nick) I want to love you… Nick. (lifts up to pull him into a kiss before bringing her lips to his neck)
Nick: (lifts Gabrielle’s eyes to his) You don’t?
(Cut to AJ’s suite)
Destiny: (revealing openly) I do, and even now when I should feel cautious, I don’t because, I’m too in love with you to regret tonight.
AJ: (pulling Destiny’s shirt over her head) Don’t be cautious. I won’t hurt you, Destiny.
Destiny: (trustingly) I know.
(Cut to Nick’s suite)
(Nick is holding Gabrielle close as he relieves her of her shirt, and slips her glasses off her face to place on the night table beside them)
Nick: Can you tell me truthfully, that you don’t love me?
Gabrielle: (holding back) I can try… what’s in it for you, Nick?
Nick: (crushes his lips to Gabrielle’s naked shoulder) You…
(Cut to AJ’s suite)
AJ: (clutches Destiny against him) You…
(Cut to Howie’s suite)
Howie: (leaning over Rain with a smile) You…
(Cut to Kevin’s suite)
Kevin: (tears his shirt off and crushes Chastity’s lips to his) You…
(Cut to Nick’s suite)
Nick: (gazing into Gabrielle’s eyes) Would you ever doubt me?
Gabrielle: Would I need to?
Nick: (drops them gently onto the pillows) No just… (he stops to sigh) trust me.
Gabrielle: (nods in trance) I trust you.
Nick: (closes his eyes to touch his lips to Gabrielle’s) Love me…
Gabrielle: (closes her eyes) I love you.
(Cut to Astrick in the lobby where he is cupping his ears with his eyes squinted shut. Images that envelop his mind reveal each of the couples; their passion growing. First, we see Nick and Gabrielle kissing and caressing. Nick combs his hands through Gabrielle’s hair and she strokes her fingers down his back. Next we see AJ and Destiny holding each other, staring into each other’s eyes, held captive by each other with every touch every kiss. Cut to Howie, and Rain finding each other in the night. Rain snuggles into Howie’s arms for comfort and security. Cut to Kevin and Chastity. Chastity is leaning over Kevin, tracing a hand down his cheek with a look of longing in her eyes. He pulls her down for a kiss hiding her against his body. Cut to Brian and Devyn, Brian is responding to all of Devyn’s moves as she devours him roughly, and with strong need. She nibbles on his ear, almost to the point of biting until he lets out a gasp of pain. Cut to each couple, allowing the images to flash faster and faster in Astrick’s mind, the further the couples go. Cut to Devyn who lets out a cry of victory.)
Astrick: NO!
(Astrick lets go of his ears and runs to the elevator and the scene goes black)
