Various celebrity couples

The Blue Diamond chauffeur drew the limousine to a graceful halt outside of the exclusive party venue and a uniformed doorman moved swiftly forward to open the rear passenger door. Paparazzi pushed closer, but drew back disappointed when John Doe and Melinda Hayes stepped out. Melinda was unfazed. Discretion was the business that she was in. If she became recognisable to the press as anything other than a celebrity hanger-on, she was finished.

John escorted his boss to the building that the photographers would dearly love to enter, whilst their limo pulled discretely away behind them.

Melinda had secured them an invitation to an exclusive couples only party and had felt this was the perfect opportunity show her new talent the ropes.

“Melinda! How are you?”

“Cameron!” John’s boss exclaimed. “I was hoping that I would see you here.”

The statuesque blonde gave Melinda a hug and a polite kiss on the cheek.

“Just the cheek?” admonished Melinda quietly, but with a smile. “I thought we might see a bit more of each other later.”

The actress looked momentarily flustered and waved her ring finger in the air.

“You know I’m…?”

“Of course and very pretty it is too,” soothed Melinda. “I’m with somebody tonight as well, you know,” she added, indicating John.

“Oh. Is he…?”

“John works for me, yes,” Melnda confirmed.

“Ohhh. And do you… work together?”

“We can. Or not – as you please.”

“Oh… But Justin…”

“…Is welcome too. Or not – as you please. Where is he, by the way?”

“Oh, he’s over there – talking with someone his own age,” Cameron smiled.

John and Melinda followed her gaze, to where her beau was talking to Macaulay Culkin and Mila Kunis. John smiled at the dark-haired Ukrainian beauty and she smiled back, then looked down at her feet slightly flustered. John smiled again, this time to himself. The training was working well. He wondered what other parts of his training Mila would appreciate. Or perhaps Macaulay would appreciate a butt full of John’s meat. It was the least he could do after Home Alone...

“John,” Melinda said, tapping his shoulder and breaking his reverie. “There’s somebody else I’d like you to meet. Angelina. Brad. Hi, this is John.”

The couple broke off their conversation with Olivier Martinez and Kylie Minogue and hurried over. Melinda really did command respect around here. John marvelled at the possibilities.
