“All of the products mentioned on the show are paid placements,” I told her, tucking the card into the top of my yoga pants. “But I’d be happy to send your info to the studio, and they’ll get in touch.”She laughed like I’d said the stupidest thing she’d ever heard. “We can’t afford what they’re going to charge. What about your social media?” She crossed her arms over her chest. “Or are you going to connect me to your publicist, so she can tell me how much your fees are?”Is this what celebrities deal with every day?I was just an entry-level reality star, and I still couldn’t believe what I was hearing.I turned to the washer again, pouring in the fabric softener I’d set in between the machines, and when I faced her, her hands were on her hips.“So?”I took a deep breath. “I’ll see what I can do.”I was walking toward the door when she said, “Can you give me an approximate date?” She smiled. “I’d like to keep an eye out, so I can make sure to share your post.”When I glanced at her b

And if my niece wasn’t in the backseat, singing to the tunes that were playing, I would fuck her in my Range Rover, her palms flat on the tinted glass, her legs spread wide, riding me in my seat.“Hey, guys,” she said as she climbed into the passenger side, smiling at me. She immediately turned around to greet Everly. “I’m Kendall.” She stuck out her hand, my niece gently grabbing it. “It’s very nice to meet you. I’ve heard lots of things about you. Your uncle is a bit of a bragger when it comes to you.”“That’s ’cause I’m his favorite.” My niece giggled. “I’m Everly, but Uncle D calls me Eve sometimes. He says you’re pretty cool.”“Is that so?” Kendall looked at me. “She’s the cutest.”“She’s excited about these pancakes.” I pulled away from the curb, the drive only a block from her building.“Has your uncle told you about all the delicious flavors they have?”I watched Everly from the rearview mirror as she nodded, the side ponytails bobbing, one several inches higher than the other

“Don’t say anything,” Kendall told her. “It’s our secret.”Everly wiggled, shaking her short arms like there was music playing. “Okay!”“So, the two of you are keeping secrets from me?” I crossed my arms over the table, attempting to look pissed. But that was hardly the case. The two of them couldn’t be more adorable together.Everly was enamored with Kendall.“It’s a girl thing,” Kendall told me.“And I’m a big girl now,” Everly added.The waitress dropped off Everly’s milk and our coffees and cups of water and said, “What can I get you to eat?”“Cinnamon roll pancakes for me,” Kendall said. “I’ll take the cinnamon whipped butter as well.”“And for you?” the waitress asked me.“The strawberry almond pancakes, and this one”—I nodded toward Everly—“will take the chocolate chip, the full stack. Whipped butter and syrup on both.”As soon as the waitress left, I looked at Everly and said, “Do you know that Kendall is going to be on TV?”Her eyes widened again. “Like in the movies? With th

“A girl after my own heart,” Kendall said, wiping Everly’s face with a napkin she had dunked in her water glass. “Chocolate is my favorite kind of cake.”“Me too!” She reached for her milk, leaving chocolate handprints on the cup. When she finished drinking, she dumped another spoonful of whipped cream on her plate, her lips forming a big circle, full of excitement. “When are you going to be on TV? I need to remember, so I can ask Daddy if I can watch.”“The TV cameras are following her around now,” I said.“NOW?!” Everly shouted across the restaurant before realizing how loud she had been and laughing at herself.“Not now, now,” Kendall said. “But they have been over the last week, and the show will probably come on in a few months.”“Uncle D, make sure to tell Dad that, ’kay?”“Of course.”Everly wiggled as she ate, the thrill not even close to wearing off and the sugar just starting to kick in. After a few more bites, she flopped back against her seat. She patted her belly. “Umph.

Twenty-OneKendall“Who is that?” I whispered to Delilah as we sat on one of the couches in the VIP area of the club, the cameras pointed directly at us.With the microphone taped to the inside of my dress, catching every word I said, there was no reason to keep my voice so low. Undoubtedly, this conversation would air on the show.“Girl, you don’t watch Sky House?” She waited for me to shake my head before continuing, “That’s Presley Jordan, the lead in that show. Isn’t he positively delicious?”I hadn’t asked because of his looks; I had asked because every girl in this club was gawking at him.Presley Jordan.That name did sound familiar.The more I thought about it, I realized that it was because of Daisy; she had mentioned him in the past, saying how sexy he was. At one point, I could even recall Googling him just to see who she was talking about.Presley didn’t have that super-manly, husky handsomeness like Dominick. But he was certainly cute in that boy-next-door kind of way, a

Before my brain could even think of a response, his hand was on my back again, and we were moving into the restroom. Once we were inside, I reached into my dress and turned down my microphone. The show allowed for privacy during bathroom breaks, so this was something I would normally do anyway.He checked the stalls, each door unlocked and open. “Good. We’re alone.” He closed the distance between us, leaving less than a foot. “I know that won’t last for long, so I’ll be quick. Kendall, I’d really like to take you out. Not when there’s cameras following you or when there’s paparazzi tailing us. Just me and you, in a restaurant off the grid, where we can talk and get to know each other.”I was sure the shock was registering on my face, his suggestion the last thing I’d expected.“I’m sorry …” I took a breath. “I’m just a little surprised.”“I can tell. Why?”“I don’t know.” I glanced around the small room, trying to get my thoughts straight. “I guess I assumed this had something to do w

I wrapped my fingers around the glass, and as I turned toward Jenner, he was taking a few steps back.“I’ll see you later, Kendall.”I waved, bringing the drink up to my lips, swallowing a huge gulp. I only had the chance to take one more sip before Delilah was at my side.“I thought you weren’t interested in him, you slut.”“I wasn’t.” That hadn’t come out right. “And I’m not. We just went to talk, and a circus erupted.”The camera crew was nearby, catching every second of this. One of them signaled for me to turn my mic back on, but I didn’t. I needed a minute to try and relax before they caught every word I said.“You come out of the restroom—the ladies’ room no less—with Presley’s hand on you, and you expect me to believe nothing happened?” She snorted. “Okaaay.” She put her arm around my waist, clinking our glasses together. “Girl, you can’t fool me, but I’ll give you props for trying. Come on. Let’s go dance.”I couldn’t even imagine trying to do that right now.There was a tigh

I could only assume he’d ended up at the same club Kendall was at and that she was the passenger in his front seat.I met her at the door, holding it open enough for her to slip inside, and I waved at Jenner as he reversed out of my driveway. Once I locked up, she was sitting on my couch in the same dress that had appeared in the photos. Her hair wasn’t as wild as it had looked in the shots, her skin not as flushed.She didn’t have any lipstick on.“Do you want some water?”She nodded, and I went into the kitchen, grabbing two bottles that I brought into the living room, handing her one. I took the blanket off the back of the couch and spread it over her.“Tell me what happened.”Photographers manipulated their shots before they sold them to online outlets. Responses and situations were almost always taken out of context. I knew because these were things I fixed for a living, suing photographers and media sources when I could prove fraud.Before my hands went anywhere near Kendall, I
