“You have got to be kiddin’ me, right?” Melissa, my best friend/ slashed my manager  shouted in my face while I was reading the US Weekly Magazine.

“Good morning to you, Mel.” I joked.

“That certainly is not a good morning for neither of us Riri.” She hissed.

“What’s up?” I asked, she got my attention .

“Did you see that?” She pointed out the Enquirer on top of the desk.

“What’s that?” I questioned.

“YOU AND NICK CARTER?” 

“What?” Ok, now she really got my attention. And who the hell is Nick Carter, again ? 

“Riri, just as if one Chris Brown isn’t enough. Oh no, you can’t see him ever again.” Yea, she was practically yelling while pointing out the page of the magazine.

“I was just buying tampons at CVS.” I looked at the page. So the blondie from Backstreet Boys is the Nick Carter. “Nobody believes in the Enquirer.” I added.

“Is that your best answer?” She asked, rolling her eyes.

“Ihmm... I don’t know what do you expect me to say?” I said.

“Why did you take off with him?”

“I didn’t take off with him. I noticed the paparazzi’s so we happened to leave there together but in our seperate cars.”

“So you’re not seeing him again.” She questioned while staring at me. 

So the worst part of having your best friend in your management team, is she really understands it when you are lying.

“Well, I’m not planning on seeing him.” I said, while trying to escape my eyes from her face.

“Fuck, you are lying!”She hissed again

“Well, I can’t help it if we ever bump into each other ever again while doing groceries, Mel.”

“Do you know that he is an abuser?” She asked.

“What?” Ok. So, that have got to be an interesting one.

“Paris Hilton accused him of abusing her while they were dating.” She said with a blink satisfaction.

“Shit, even I would abused her. He did the right thing.” I cracked a joke.

“Please don’t tell me that I’m on Perez Hilton again.” Nick Carter said AJ while taking his phone out from his pocket.

They were having a quick break after shooting pics for their new promos.

“No, but you are on Enquirer.” Jen laughed from the outside of the corner that they were talking.

“Seriously? Why? Did I busted out on crack without even realizing?” Nick asked, rolling his eyes.

“Appearently, you have a new love interest.” Jen said while bringing the magazine to show AJ.

“Oh no.. Hell no! Dude, since when did you start banging her? Or no I’m not asking that,  I’m asking, is she really good in bed? You know what they say about good dancers...” AJ said while smirking at Jen.

“Give me that” Nick took the magazine from AJ’s hand. “Holy shit!” He added with a panic acrossed his face.

“Oh so, you are not banging her.” AJ  said with a disapointed look in his face. “For the first time, I was about to admire your choice in women. You shoulda have banged her.” He added.

“No I’m not banging her, dude. I just bumped into her at CVS and happened to talk to her about her new single, and congratulated her. That’s all.” Nick said.

“What’s up with you and banging Rihanna, aren’t you getting ready to be groom?” Jen joked.

“A man can dream, right?” AJ laughed. “Dude, I really wished you would bang her.” He added while Nick cursingg under his breathe at the magazine.

“ Enough with the banging guys.” Jen gotten serious. “So now is the damage controlling.” She said. “What do you want me to do?” 

“Damage control.” Nick said, while AJ was smiling devilishly.

“So is that something going on between you and her that I should aware of?” She asked. 

“Nothing. Seriously, I was just talking to her about her single, and that’s basically about it. We noticed the paparazzi”s taking photos so I escorted her outside of the CVS.”

“Why didn’t you tell me before?”

“Cause I absolutely forgot about that, and I didn’t think, it’s that much of a big deal.” 

“Nick...”

“Ok, I know, I’m sorry.” 

“It’s allright, it’s nothing that I can’t handle. People will eventually think Enquirer bullshitted again.”

“Thanks Jen, you are an angel.” Nick said while kissing her cheek.

“Yeah, yeah... I’m the man.” Jen said, rolling her eyes.
