Lahat ng Kabanata ng Starting Again and Falling For Him: Kabanata 101 - Kabanata 110

The next morning, Pearl woke up spooning the vodka bottle. She brushed her teeth and got dressed. She had a meeting with Iris in an hour and a half and she didn't want to be late. Rhys was making coffee when when she walked into the kitchen. He looked like shit. Good. She thought. "Good morning,” He said. "Morning,” She replied, grabbing a to go cup. "Where are you off to today?" He asked "I have a meeting with Iris at the bookshop. We are going over the itinerary for the next month. I'm assuming that will be a trip to Los Angeles for the Golden Globes pre party and the actual event,Correct? And also, your parents are coming into town." Pearl filled her coffee. "Yes. I don't even know if I'm nominated yet. They announce that next week. It's late this year. Usually it's in December." Rhys said. "I will have Iris reach out to Amber and find out the details of her party." Pearl said. 

Pearl walked in the door and Rhys greeted her with a hug. "How did it go?" He asked. "It went well. We decided to use the picture of us from our first live show in New York as the inside pic of the band and Dylan's wolf painting he designed as our logo for the cover. It looks bad ass." Pearl told him, walking into the kitchen. "And the video?" He asked. "I was going to talk to you about that, actually." She said. Rhys had dinner prepared and it smelled amazing. He poured Pearl a glass of wine. "Come sit. Eat." He said. She grabbed a stool and sat at the kitchen island bar. He spooned a plate of pasta for her and a small bowl of salad. "This looks amazing." She said. "Thank you." "I miss you so much. I miss my wife." He said, looking at her with sadness. She leaned forward and kissed him. "So, what do you want to talk to me about regarding the video?" He asked, taking a bite of his salad. "We want you to direct it." Sh

"Ok, I'm ready. Where are we going?" Pearl asked, walking out into the kitchen. "Whoa!" Rhys said. "What is that?" She was wearing a dress that Iris had let borrow last minute. It was black and tight, really tight. The top was a low cut V and the hem was also a V shape that came to a point in the middle. The sides scrunched and hugged her hips. "You don't like it?" Pearl asked, looking down. Rhys picked up his jaw and walked to her. He grabbed her hand and turned her around. "Good god, my wife is BANGIN'!" Rhys liked the dress. She giggled and told him to put his to tongue back in his mouth. "Shall we?" He asked, holding out his arm. She locked hers in his. "We shall." She said. Rhys had Jim drive them and soon Pearl saw they were flying. "The jet? Where are we going?" She asked. Rhys took her hand and led her on board. "Hey guys!  Nice to see you again, Pearl! Thanks for inviting us!" It was Matt, Rhys's director and the

"So, is everything a go for this video? The fellas are flying in tomorrow morning and I want to make sure we have a plan. The thought of Blake and Ian running around without structure scares me in this city." Pearl said, drinking a glass of wine by the fire outside. "All good. I've got it all taken care of. My agent Hank will be here tomorrow along with my assistant, Andre and Matt and Fi. Fi is going to help with blocking and acting. She said she'd make a cameo, also." Rhys smiled. Pearl was thrilled. She loved Fi and knew it would be huge for her to be a part of it. The guys arrived at LAX and Rhys had a car meet them at the airport, taking them to his house. "This place is awesome." Blake said, as they walked around. Iris hugged Pearl and told her she had some good information for her later. Rhys invited them out onto the patio and laid out the next three days, handing them a script and going over the details. "Matt, my director from

Pearl walked down a hallway to a large kitchen where a tuxedo clad bartender was serving drinks inside. "I'll have a Jameson neat." Pearl said. She looked over to her right and saw that Matt and Fi had arrived and they were talking to Amber and Vick. She waved to them and they waved back. Just as Pearl was getting her drink, she saw Carys come over to talk to them. Now is my chance, Pearl thought. She walked over and the mood changed to solemn. "Well, hello, Matt and Fi. Lovely to see you." Pearl said, smiling and hugging them. Carys rolled her eyes and looked as though she was forcing her mouth to remain shut. Pearl continued to antagonize. "I am so excited about the video shoot tomorrow. I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate you offering to help."  She said to them. "What? You're helping her shoot a video? Of course you are. She has you all duped. A small town, money grubbing, thieving, white trash liar is duping you. I expected more from you guys." Carys s
