Chapter 1
"Yes Mr. Palmerotti I will have you the file faxed to you by
tomorrow
I promise!" I said putting my papers in my briefcase.
"Hey V you
have a visitor outside," my secretary
Kasey said as I nodded.
"I
have to go Mr. Palmerotti, yes I will, I will, uh huh, bye," I said
hanging
up. I closed my briefcase and opened the door to see
a man in the chair. He got
up and walked over to me,
holding out his hand.
"I'm Lou Pearlman,
I'm the Backstreet Boys'
manager," he said as I shrugged.
"Yes
sir, what can I do for you?"
"I'd like you to be Howie Dorough's
lawyer for a case
that suddenly came to us."
"And that is?"
"He
was accused of rape Ms. Keelson," he said as I sighed.
"Come on
in Mr. Pearlman," I said walking back into my office.
"Please have
a seat. Would you like something to drink,
eat, play with?" I said with
a grin.
"No thank you, I can only be here for a short while but I had
to ask
for your support on this case," he said sitting down. I sat down
in my
leather chair and crossed my legs, taking a pen and playing with
it
between my fingers.
"Does Mr. Dorough know about this?" I asked
looking at my watch.
"Yes mam he does, he is well aware of your previous
affairs
and would love to have you working on his case."
"Is
it public yet?"
"No but it probably will be in the next day or so,
this is
the Backstreet Boys afterall," he said as I smiled.
"That's
right it is isn't it? Well, please tell Mr. Dorough to come
by and I will make
my decision by then, a rape case it not one you
usually when in the favor of
the guilty," I said as he nodded.
"What time would you like him
to stop by?"
"Um…hey Kasey? Do I have any clients around
lunch!"
I yelled to Kasey up front.
"No V!" She yelled as I grinned.
"Lunch
time, and don't be late, I'm prompt and I
like it that way," I said with
a smile.
"So is he Ms. Keelson, so is he."

"Hey
Whiskers," I said sitting down on my sofa. "Rough day?
Yep, me too,"
I said picking up my Calico cat as he purred.
I pet his head as my cordless phone
rang, I sighed and picked it up.
"Hello? Oh my gosh I forgot to fax
the file!" I leaped up and ran
to my briefcase. "Thank you Kasey!"
I said hanging up the phone
and taking the file out of my briefcase.
I
put it in the fax machine and sighed as I watched it go through.
I took off my
necklace and set it on the table as I walked over to my bedroom.
"Oh
boy, dinner will just have to wait, I need rest," I said aloud.
I fell
on the bed and brushed my hands across my face. I looked
up at the ceiling, thinking
of the love I always wanted.
I always wanted a man, though I hadn't had one
in years, so long it
seems like ages. Lately so bad I can almost see him, the
man
I want. Whiskers jumped on the bed as I sighed.
"Oh boy Whiskers,"
I said petting him lightly. I took my hair band
out of my hair and brushed my
blonde hair with my fingers softly.
I closed my eyes and pictured myself dancing
with a man, a sweet
kind man with beautiful skin and a gorgeous smile that could
take any girls breath away. As soon as I knew it, I fell asleep
dreaming
of the love I wanted…and soon would get…
