| Soap Sins Monday, October 10, 2011 CHAPTER 4 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. LINK ONLY! The Fired Writer - Las Vegas was wildly exciting. Soap star Dakota and her prime time star date had just finished a bottle of expensive French champagne at the hottest new night spot on the strip. He asked if she was having a good time. - "More than the last time I was in Vegas, for the Daytime Emmy Awards." - "But you were snubbed for an Emmy, so that can't be too difficult." - She laughed. "Very true!" The sudden blinding light of a camera flash caused her to blink. - The paparazzi bolted from the establishment. Nick grinned. "There goes your reputation." - Dakota smiled right back and told him it was an occupational hazard. - Nick suddenly got a mischievous look in his eye. "There is one way we could break the story of our being together, out scoop the paparazzi jerk, and sock it to my ex-wife, all at the same time." - Dakota raised an eyebrow. He went on. "It would also get you a ton of publicity." - She peered at him with cat-like eyes and tapped a long red nail on the crystal champagne glass. "Well, now, I'm listening." - Nick smoothed back his $2000 hair extensions the way he did when he thought he was going to say something important. "We could get hitched." - "Hitched?" - "Married. We're already in Vegas. Imagine the publicity we would both get if we showed up back at LAX, with you wearing a brand new ring, your prime time husband at your side." - Dakota imagined even more than that. She imagined the high paying endorsements she would be able to snag and possibility of prime time roles that would be within her reach. The more she imagined, the more she liked it. "Okay, you're on!" The effects of the champagne still made her too lightheaded to ponder where and how they would live together, given that they had never even kissed. Or maybe it was the thought of money and power that made her feel more intoxicated by the minute. - Nick kissed her hand and stood up. "Fantastical! I will go make the arrangements and meet you at the hotel chapel in a half hour. It's up on the seventh floor. It's called the Seventh Heaven Vegas Chapel. Meet you up there with the ring." - Dakota agreed. "I will be needing twenty." - "Minutes?" - "Carats, for the diamond. What's good for a Kardashian is good for a soap star." - Nick winked, blew her a kiss, and was gone. Dakota decided to go to the chapel and wait there, as she didn't want to risk another camera in her face. She got off the gold colored elevator on the seventh floor and entered the chapel waiting area. It overlooked the illuminated pool so she admired the view from the bay window. - "Long time no see." - She turned around and gasped when she came face to face with the writer who had been fired the previous month. "Luella?" - "That's right." The unkempt, unemployed writer inched toward her. "You made them get rid of me!" - Dakota shook her head. "No, I didn't." - "Yes, you did. You said my plots were too crazy so they terminated me, but now I am here to terminate you!" She lunged and Dakota let out a scream. For a moment, she saw her million dollar soap life flash before her heavily made up eyes. Then she did what her character would have done. She fought back. If someone was going to die at the Seventh Heaven Vegas Wedding Chapel, it would not be her ...! |
