Kristen's POV
Ring, ring! "Ugh, who is it?" I groaned to no one. If this was Rob, Taylor, or Jesse again, I swear… They'd all been calling me every second lately. It'd been getting pretty old. Ring, ring, ring! I sighed, and then reached across the bed to pick it up.
"Hello?" I said.
"Hey, Kris!" Oh, it was Catherine. God, what could she want now? The movie was over and done with, finally. I mean, it was really cool and fun, and I loved the cast, they were practically family, but I hadn't expected to hear from her for a while.
"Oh, hey Catherine. What's up?"
"Well, you're on with Nikki and Ashley," she started.
"Hey Nikki, hey Ash!" I called gratefully. I didn't want to have a long conversation with my crazy director- alone.
"Hi Kris," they replied.
"So, girls, I've already talked to most of the cast, and Stephenie. With some extra money, we managed to buy a small island! We named it Twiland, you know, like twilight and island put together!" she exclaimed, waiting for us to say something.
"Okay and…?" I questioned.
"We decided that as a reward for all your hard work, the whole cast plus mea and Stephenie are going to SPEND A MONTH THERE!!!!!!" Catherine shouted, unable to control her excitement. See what I mean about crazy? She probably didn't take very many vacations.
"Well? What do you girlies think?" she asked expectantly. Hmm, it would be really awesome to take a vacation after all the filming and stuff, and I loved the cast and Stephenie. But Catherine? And a month? God, I'd already spent the last like, the last half a year with Rob and Catherine and the rest. I wanted some alone time, or at least a break.
"Well, when are we going?" Nikki asked, reading my mind like usual.
"We will be taking a personalized jet out there on Friday. You can each bring up to three suitcases plus a carryon. There will be a washer and dryer out there. Come on girls! It'll be the most fun you've had in years!" Hmph, I wasn't so sure about that. After a few moments of silence, Ashley spoke up.
"That sounds very… fun. But do you think we could make it later? I mean, we just finished filming and,"
Catherine cut her off. "We finished filming two weeks ago, Ashley! That's a while ago!" Hmm, not when you spent 24/7 with the same people for six months! "And no, we already reserved the jet for that day. Seriously, I promise you, you will have tons of fun! Like one big party!" Hmm, I did love parties, and some of members of the cast could be excellent party pals… Kellan for example, was always up for fun!
"Ok, I'll come," Ashley agreed.
I sighed. "I guess I'll go too," I half-unwillingly agreed.
"Nikki?" Cath asked.
"Sure, whatever." I could practically see her eyes roll.
"YAY!" she shouted. Whoa, Catherine, calm down! "Now I need to call the others. See you on Friday!" she sung happily before hanging up.
"Hey, guys? Want to come over and we can start a packing list or something?" I offered.
"Sure, why not?" Ashley agreed.
"I'm on my way," Nikki replied.
"See ya soon," I called into the phone, and then clicked it off. Seconds later, the phone rang again.
"Hello?" I said in an annoyed tone.
"Kristen, honey?" my boyfriend Michael said,
"Oh, it's you. Sorry, I just talked with Catherine," I told him. Shoot, I needed to tell him about the vacation. He probably wouldn't like me being away for so long.
"Oh, what did she want? I thought your filming was over?" he asked.
"Yeah, well, you see, um…"
"What is it, Kris?" he asked suspiciously.
"Well, she asked us if we wanted to go to this island they bought with the cast for a while and I kind of said… yes," I explained, hoping he wouldn't get mad.
"Oh, well I guess that's okay. I mean, I'm not your boss or anything. How long is a while?" he asked.
"Um, kind of a month?" I squeaked out. I held my breath and there was a long silence.
"I'll miss you, Kristen," he said in a small voice.
"Oh, Michael, I'll miss you too!" I said. "I'll call you every day. Promise!" I would miss Michael, I already was. Then, I heard a knocking on the door. Shoot! It must be Nik and Ash! "Hey, um Michael? I gotta go. Call you later?'
"Sure, whatever," he replied wearily.
"'Kay, love you!" I clicked the phone off.
"Kristen, are you there?" Ashley called from outside the door.
"Yeah, come on in," I told them. They walked through the front door, and I led them into the kitchen. "Sorry, I don't have anything ready or anything. Michael called me as soon as I got off with you, and then you came," I apologized.
"Oh, no, it's totally okay, but what did Michael say? Is he okay with the trip/" Ashley asked curiously.
I thought about this for a moment. "I guess he's okay with it. I mean, he's not happy, but he's not asking me to stay or anything," I said thoughtfully.
"Yeah, I bet he'll call every day! He's a really sweet guy. Anyway, let's start on our packing lists!" Nikki said happily. I agreed, and we worked for a while on the list. In about an hour, we had a final list.
