Celebrity hookup.

"What do you need Pekelo?"

"I was just thinking what a really great party this was. I was wondering if you would be interested in setting up another shindig for a friend of mine. It's for a really big party so feel free to say no if you want."

"One of your celebrity friends? How can I say no? 'At Blaze's Party Plan's we will set your roof on fire!'"

I came up with that slogan. Neat huh? I would be happier that Sage worked it into this conversation if they stopped acting like I wasn't here. I'm the birthday boy dammit!

"It's for a wedding actually," Pekelo looked around for anyone eavesdropping then spoke in a hushed tone "keep this a secret, but it's for Princess Eileen Everstrand and my friend Baxter Ryes."

Now that was something that stole even my attention. Both Sage and I stood stunned at this new info.

"I'm sorry...Pekelo...did I hear you correctly? A princess?" Sage was understandably skeptical.

"Yes."

"As in an actual _princess _princess, from an overseas kingdom?"

"Yep."

"Is going to marry your hot celebrity BFF?"

"That's right."

"And you want us to throw them a wedding?"

"If you're up for it."

Sage and I needed a moment to process this. Was this really happening? A famous celebrity was asking us to throw a wedding between an actual freaking princess and his A-list celebrity friend. Yes, I have heard about Baxter Ryes; famous violinist turned actor. He is known for his romance films and has been at the center of many media scandals that only seem to boost his appeal as some degenerate playboy. He and Pekelo have a long standing bromance that has been the toast of the town for years. Was Baxter Ryes really going to settle down? And with _royalty _to boot?!

"This...this is mind-blowing!" I was so astounded to be the recipient of such juicy gossip I actually dropped my towel just so I could cradle my buzzing head. Both Sage and Pekelo dropped their eyes downward for a moment, then they gave each other a quick look and suppressed a laugh. "Hell yeah we wanna set up this party!" I pumped my fist in the air; Pekelo looked amused Sage smiled downward at my cock. "Tell us! What do we have to do!?"

"Keep this news under your hats for now, Baxter hasn't released this info to the public yet. But when he does, He wants to be in control of the story as I throw him a wedding so he doesn't go through another scandal before he ties the knot. I was hoping you guys could do some TV interviews about the wedding and how you are going to throw it before the big day. That way you can divert some of the attention away from them and you guys get to promote your business at the same time."

Sage took this news in stride and acted efficiently as always, "If you can leave us some contact information, we can coordinate dates, time, guest lists, and any other preparations you will require such as themes and..."

"Whoa whoa Sage! I got it. I'll just give you my number already. I was planning on doing that from the very beginning." Pekelo produced a pen from his board shorts and wrote his digits down on Sage's arm. "Call me anytime Sage, even if it's not about work." Pekelo shot her a wink as I grew more and more annoyed. He began to walk off, then turned his head around for one last reminder, "Remember guys, keep this between us. You know rumors can spiral out of control when you're famous. Normally I would make you guys sign some nondisclosure agreement but I am letting you know ahead of time to prepare. That, and I think you are pretty trustworthy Sage."

"You don't have worry about us," Sage walked to my side and placed her hand on my back "we have a lot more to talk about than just you." She smiled mischievously, for once again, I was much to distracted by what was going on around me to realize that I was displaying my nudity once again. I cast a possessive arm around Sage's shoulders and waved off the flirtatious celebrity in dismissal. He only laughed and waved goodbye as he walked away.

"Well, meeting my favorite star didn't go as I expected it to." I huffed. I suppose I was still jealous of how Sage and Pekelo were so flirty with each other that I couldn't help but see him in a dimmer light.

Sage picked up my towel from the sand, I was still watching Pekelo's diminishing form in the distance to notice. "What are you talking about Rorke? He is still you favorite actor, he came to your birthday bash despite his busy schedule, and he got us a job to throw the biggest party of the century. You should be thrilled. Or do you not like my gift?"

I turned to Sage placing my hands on her shoulders. "I love everything that you give me Sage. You know me better than anyone. It's just that...wait... is that my towel!?" I finally took notice of the pink cloth balled up in Sage's hands as well as my resulting nudity.

"Smile birthday boy!" Scarlet's voice came from behind me. She already had her camera in position for when I turned around with a stupid look on my face. Sage quickly stuffed the towel under her arm just so she could pull me down by my arm while placing her free hand on my butt. My face flushed as I nearly fell over with my leg flailing in the air and Sage kissing my cheek right when the camera flash went off.
