Sparks Fly Press Conference
"How's your arm?" "Been better," he chuckled, scratching an eyebrow. She smiled wanly. It was tough finding something to break the ice, "I'm sorry," she said. "For your arm," she added for clarification. Ryan nodded, "It's alright. Sorry for what I said to you. Somehow, I feel that's even worse." Another wan smile appeared across her lips. She wondered what she'd been scared of. Here they were, acting like a couple of teenagers. She nodded, "Apo-" "-Damn it all," Ryan muttered, taking off his shades. "What-" She started to say but Ryan covered the distance between them, and captured her lips in a warm kiss. Sofia froze for a moment before her body took over, and she responded, deepening the contact. He was on one knee, his right arm caressed the side of her face and she angled her head toward it, giving his tongue more room to explore. It was as if their minds had shut down, leaving control to the innate desires of their bodies, and the kiss expressed emotions words could do no
Sparks Fly Chapter 31 - The Trip
"What the heck was that about?" Michaelson growled at Ryan, as he walked up to them. "Hey don't put that on me," Ryan defended. "There was nothing I could do. Her mind was made up." Michaelson sighed, "You messed up with the signing Rico, this is Hollywood. You don't give a newbie that much power, they start getting ideas." Rico sighed, "Truthfully, I didn't see this coming. When she said it, I was thinking of things like employer-employee relations. Like how we'd treat her. I knew these were not a problem. Besides, with the two of them looking like Romeo and Juliet, who'd have expected this?" "Go get rid of the press," Michaelson said dismissively, "I need another Cognac," he added, walking away. "It's gonna be a long day guys," he waved over his shoulder. "This press conference is over. No more questions," Rico said into one of the mics on the table. "Mr. Suarez? Mr. Suarez?" Different reporters called on him, trying to get him to answer their questions. But he remained mut
Sparks Fly Chapter 32 - Tyler
The both of them looked up."Amanda?" Ryan was surprised that even she knew about the kiss. How?"Not now Amanda," Rico whispered forcefully.She made to speak but Ryan urged her to read the room with his eyes,"Not now," he said.There were phones everywhere focusing on the three of them. However, Amanda had already lost it. "Why can't you see that I'm the only one who won't leave you?" She asked, completely unmindful that she was probably on some live streams already."I've always been there Ryan. And I'll always be there. But you're killing me with all of these women who don't deserve you. Who have no idea how to treat you. Look what's happened with the roadside chick now huh, who'd have seen that coming? But I told you. I warned you. And now I'm still here for you. And all you have to do," she came closer, and both men tried to warn her with their eyes but she wasn't listening or rather seeing...She stopped just short of his face, and both of them released the breath they'd been
Sparks Fly Chapter 33 - Tanya
Back in LA, Bel Air, James was sitting down to dinner at home. His mansion looked ultramodern and utilitarian. Still, there was the subtle touch of extravagance.His butler stood next to him, the remote control in hand. He kept switching channels on a smart TV suspended by a retractable arm that extended from the ceiling.It was a normal routine of theirs. He would keep changing the channel until James found something suitable to watch.He got to E-NEWS and was about to change but James held up his arm to stop him.It was the news on Sofia at the orphanage.He dropped his fork and focused on the screen. Then he spotted the kid. He shot to his feet immediately, his face suddenly darkened and his brows knotted together at a steep angle."No fucking way," he muttered, clenching his jaw. There was no way. Of all the orphanages in the world, of all the ones in the U.S. even. She picked him? Out of all the other kids?"Fuck!" He screamed, slamming a clenched fist onto the table like a gave
Sparks Fly 34 - Comeback
"Coming!" Alicia called out, padding out to the sitting room. She was barefoot, and clad in a nightshirt over her underwear. "Who's there?" She asked."It's -uh Ted." He puffed, out of breath. "Is this-"She quickly opened the door. He stood there, with a strained smile, and Tanya, who was sound asleep on his back.She froze, her mouth dropped, and her eyebrows hung mid air."So... Can I come in?" His voice was strained too."Yeah, of course," she gushed, getting a hold of herself. "Let me give you a hand," she offered as he came in."I got it," he huffed. Alicia nodded, and followed close behind, directing him to Tanya's room.He shuffled into the room, and his feet caught in one of Tanya's thongs lying about. He fell—face first onto the bed and passed out immediately.Tanya muttered inaudibly, rolled off him, and snuggled against her pillow.Alicia sighed tiredly, resting both arms on her waist. She didn't even know where to start. She took the thong off Ted's feet, and took his shoe
Sparks Fly Housewarming
"Hey," Alicia smiled, walking into the kitchen. She was wearing a beige off-shoulder corset top over a tank top and dark pants.Fred looked up at her, "It's a surprise to see you without Josh around, nowadays," he spoke drily, returning his attention to the nachos."It's not like that, Fred. You know it." She neared him as she spoke, but he flinched from her."But I don't, Alicia. I don't. You're always together. I understand that you're in college, but if you're beginning to rethink this, then tell me. So I know what to expect.""I told you, Fred." She took his face in her hands, coming in for a kiss. *I choose you, alwa-"The cafe door slamming shut cut her short."Alicia!"They glanced at each other, and she led the way out.There was a blonde girl in a pink halter crop top over white shorts the size of a postcard. She scowled immediately Alicia came into view.She walked over and sized her up."What's up, Casey?" Alicia crossed her arms.Casey glanced at Fred, "And what? You're her
Sparks Fly Kiss and MakeUp
"You've got Mr. Richards on on line 2, sir." Pam announced from the doorway."Thanks, Pam. Grab me a cup of coffee. Two cubes. Be generous with the cream," he took the telephone from its cradle, and reclined. "Close the door," he said to her retreating figure."Miss DelaCruz is back. Have you seen?" David Richards asked quickly.James knitted his eyebrows, "No, when?""Today," Richards replied. "And she didn't come back alone," he added, chuckling drily.James sat up suddenly, his eyes widened; he was gripping the phone so much, his knuckles looked white. "The boy from the orphanage?" He asked slowly, trying to keep calm. It could not be. Of all the... No, he did not want to imagine that scenario."I see you're well informed," David Richards smiled, on the other end, serving him the disappointment with utter unawareness of his partner's thoughts.James slammed the phone in its receiver, and rushed to his feet, grabbing his jacket on his way out. He opened the door, and Pam was standin
Sparks Fly Chapter 37 - Celebrity Fight Club
*What will you do, when you find her?* James thought within himself, manoeuvring his steering wheel as he turned past the curve. The streetlights illuminated the road in a soft amber sheen.And James was just now realizing that he didn't think this through. He was so lost in thought he almost didn't see the familiar Aventador parked along the curb. *Wasn't that Ryan?* He looked at the house on the other side of the road, and noticed there was a party going on.It had to be Sofia's.He parked along the curb, careful to avoid double parking, and got down, buttoning his jacket.As he approached the house, the driver's door on the Aventador swung open, and Ryan jumped out.Meanwhile, the housewarming party was in full swing as Sofia celebrated her new home with friends and loved ones. Laughter and chatter filled the air, and the excitement was through the roof as they engaged in some in-house games. Unbeknownst to Sofia, tensions were simmering just outside her new home.Their gazes locke

Sparks Fly 87. The Last, But Definitely Not The Least
The ringing of his phone roused him from sleep.“Hello?” His voice was groggy.“I know what you did.” The voice was distorted.The sleep fled from James' eyes.“Who are you?”“So you can kill me like you killed Richards? Fat chance.”“What do you want?” James asked.The line suddenly went dead.“Oh boy,” James muttered.***Amanda was home alone, by the pool, when James arrived.“It was you, wasn't it?”“I'm sorry what?” She asked, taking off her shades.“Oh, now you wanna play dumb?”“James, if you think I have time for your shenanigans, I do not. Never. Especially now that your accomplice, Richards has gone missing. Or are you gonna tell me you have nothing to do with that?”***“How could we have kept ourselves from this?” Rico muttered, in bed, kissing the back of Jessi's neck.“You, kept us from this,” she corrected, turning to face him.“Touche,” he conceded, planting a kiss on her lips; one to which she willfully obliged.“We have a lot to catch up on,” Rico whispered against h
Sparks Fly 86. The Beginning of The End
On a normal day, Sofia would playfully chastise Ryan for such an idea, especially in front of the boy, but maybe it was Tanya’s influence, or the look in Steph’s eyes at Ryan’s words, whatever it is, it had Sofia smiling, and leading Ryan into the elevator.“Tyler, go wait for me in the car, okay?” She kissed the top of his head.“I forgot something in my room,” she added, a bit more forceful, with her eyes on the elevator.“Okay,” Tye replied innocently, and left for the waiting Mercedes Benz SUV.Steph obviously had other plans…*** “Slow down, Ryan,” Sofia chuckled, as he broke off their playful kisses to move down her neck, while his hands went lower..“We're outside,” Sofia added, kissing him back.“Someone might see us.”“Well, let's make it worth their while,” Ryan replied, leaning against the balcony of the terrace.“You must be joking,” Sofia frowned, moving away from him.Immediately, a potted plant dropped where she had been standing!Sofia gasped, her hand flying to her c

Tanya yawned, as she stepped into the sitting room in her black skimpy nightwear.“Hey, isn't that the Richards guy from the other studio,” Tanya said, nodding at the TV.“Yeah, it's him,” Alicia replied.“It says he's missing,” she added, and looked at Tanya.“What?” She asked.“You won't find him on me,” she said, stretching.“Oh, Tanya,” Alicia shook her head, returning her attention to her system.“What?” Tanya asked.“Oh, you didn't tell me that you, and Mendes made up,” Tanya said, leaning in on Alicia's left from behind the sofa.“Who told you that?” Alicia asked, leaning to her right, and losing a battle to hide her smile.“I heard he came in late, the night I spent at T.D.'s place, and didn't leave that night.”“Oh, I see you're gossiping with your girls again, huh,” Alicia said, nodding.“Tea is meant to be drunkk!” Tanya exclaimed, laughing.Alicia just shook her head.“Oh, hey. You said you spent that night at T.D.'s place?”“Oh I didn't tell you?” Tanya laughed.“Great st

“I'm telling you, we need to-”“Mom, can I go to the Taco Place to see Kim?” Tyler asked, stepping into the sitting room.He glanced between Steph, and Myles—her shrink, sensing that he'd come at the wrong time.“Am I interrupting something?” He asked innocently.“Oh, no, my love,” Steph cooed, coming to stoop next to him.“Uncle Myles was just telling me something about our business back in Mexico, but it can wait, can’t it, Myles?” She smiled at the guy; he just sighed, and left.“He didn’t seem too happy to me,” Tye remarked.“I know, I know,” Steph smiled, ruffling his hair.“So tell me, who’s this Kim?” Steph asked, taking Tye to sit with her.“A girl?”“Yeah,” Tye replied, his eyes lighting up.“She’s my girlfriend,” he announced cheerily.“Oh, big steps already?” Steph asked, poking his ribs, while he squirmed, laughing.“Stop, mom!”“Ok, ok,” she smiled.“But I’ll come with. Go, put on something nice while I do too, and then we can go see Kim.”“Alright,” Tye said, running off,
Sparks Fly 83. The Long One
“You haven't said anything, Sof,” Jessi noted.Sofia took a deep breath.“I'm just trying to process everything, she said, leaning into the sofa.“On the one hand, you have you, my friend, whom Rico definitely, and horribly wronged by the way he handled the situation. But then, there's Rico who has been suffering from PTSD all these years. And I'm not saying that that validates what he did to you but I try to imagine how deep his fear has been for so long, that he couldn't confess his love for you. Believe me I know how the heart reacts to holding in such feelings. It's all just a lot. And I don't want to say you should do this or that, because honestly if I were you, I have no idea what I'd do in this case,” Sofia exhaled deeply.“But if I know one thing, it's that Rico has a good heart; damaged, but good nonetheless.”“I guess that saying is true,” Tanya replied, nodding slightly.“Which?” Sofia asked.“Damaged people, when they don't heal, end up damaging people,” she said.“Exactly
Sparks Fly 82. The Short One
“Hmm, there’s something different about you, Rico. But I can’t place my finger on it,” Ryan said, stroking his chin.“You mean the lack of makeup?” Pete asked, serving himself another plate of chicken wings.The three of them were at a barbecue at Ryan’s home.“Exactly,” Ryan said, clicking his finger at Pete.“Besides, you’ve been strange ever since France. So what’s up? One brother to another.”“Does something have to be up for someone to make a change around here?” Rico drawled, setting up himself on the beach chair with his own plate, and booze.“Even the voice!” Ryan exclaimed.“What is wrong bro?”Then he turned to Pete who was approaching them.“I think it’s too late for a mid-life crisis, Pete. Help me out here.”Pete laughed as he sat down on the recliner, and faced the other two.“But seriously Rico, what’s up? You know you can trust us.”“Exactly. James isn’t here.”Rico sighed, and glanced around. Then pulled off his shades.“I had a fight with Jessi,” Rico said, matter of
Sparks Fly 81. WakeUp Call
Someone knocked at the door.Alicia groaned, unwilling to abandon her solo movie night.She stayed put, but the person didn’t leave, piquing her curiosity.Tanya was sleeping over at Ted’s tonight so it couldn’t be her, plus if it was Tanya, she’d know by now.“Who’s there?” She asked, peeping through the tiny hole.“Josh,” he replied.And she could see that he wasn’t lying.Alicia hesitated, and grabbed a coat from the rack next to the door to put over her flimsy nightwear, before opening the door up for him.“Hey, Alicia.”“How did you find me?” She asked, crossing her arms.“So it’s true,” he nodded.“You were avoiding me.”“Don’t try to change the subject, Josh. I asked you how you found me.”“I paid someone to hack into the school’s database to retrieve your data-”A slap from Alicia cut him short.“You just don’t know when to stop right? Because your family has the cash you feel like you can pay off anyone to get whatever you want. Why invade my privacy? Again, and again?”“What

“Where are we going?” Sofia asked, laughing. She couldn’t see past the blindfold Ryan had put on her eyes, but she could feel the excitement build up inside of her.“It’s a surprise, no peeking,” Ryan reminded her with a light kiss at her neck.The car slowly pulled to a stop, and Ryan got down, then came around her side to help her down too.“Easy, easy,” he advised, guiding her.Sofia could hear the sounds of traffic, and of people—though, French, she couldn’t understand, but it made her uncomfortable.“Are we there yet?” She asked nervously; eager to see again.“Almost,” Ryan assured, leading her into an elevator while his bodyguards kept the pedestrians in check.“Ooh,” Sofia shocked slightly, when the elevator suddenly started to move.“Where are you taking me to, Ryan Barnes?” She chuckled, leaning against him, and turning slightly.Ryan knew an invitation to share a kiss when he saw one, and he took this one without hesitation.The blindfold was still on, but neither seemed to
