Chapter One:
Sleeping Around
The blonde quickly stood and replaced her mini skirt, bra, and halter top back on her body.
"Why don't you stay a while? We could go for another round." The brown haired male suggested from the bed. He pat the spot she just vacated. "Come on."
She grabbed her purse and turned to the man. "I've got work in the morning. I have to go."
She began walking towards the door. "Wait. I never got your name."
She stopped and glared at him. "And you never will." She said before leaving.
Once she felt the cool night air on her face, she pulled out her cell.
"Where the hell have you been?" The angry voice rang through the mobile device.
"Geese Mina, calm down."
"Serena, you know your reputation is on the line. I thought you were done sleeping around!"
"Will you calm down? Please?" She sighed. No one really understands. "I'm on my way home now."
"And when you get here-"
"I'm going to bed. Forget it, I'll find a cab home."
"I'm on my way. I'm not going to leave you to get a cab. Where are you?"
Serena smiled as she gave her best friend the location.
…
The car ride was relatively quiet until Serena heard Mina sigh.
"Just say it Mina."
"I thought you got over this?"
Serena sighed and gazed out the car window. "You don't understand Mina."
"Then help me help you. Why do you do this?"
A tear rolled down her cheek, but she quickly wiped it away before the other blonde saw. "Forget it Mina."
"Rena, you know you can tell me. I thought you knew that?"
"I do know that, and I do know I can talk to you. It's just how I was when I was younger, so that's how I am."
"Younger? You're only 23."
Serena looked skeptically at Mina as they pulled up the long drive. "You know I started having sex when I was 13. I know you didn't fail math."
"I know, I know." She sighed. "Can I ask you something?"
"Of course."
"What drove you to have sex so young?"
She looked back out the window. "I haven't figured that out yet Mina. I'm still working on it." She sighed before getting out of the car.
Mina shook her head as she followed Serena up the walk into the huge house.
…
"Andy, I'm afraid of what is going to happen." Mina sighed into the phone.
"Well there's obviously nothing you can do. It's the lifestyle she's used to. She's got the money to get it. All you can do is support her and be thankful the news didn't find out."
"I guess. I just wish there was more I could do."
"I know."
"Well thanks for talking to me though. I needed it. But I have to go. We're meeting with some big clients today."
"Good luck."
"Thanks."
"Love you."
"Love you too."
"MINA! TIME TO GO!" Serena's voice called from downstairs.
"Gotta go. Bye."
"Bye."
She hung up the phone and grabbed her purse. "COMING!" She called back before rushing down the stairs.
"What took you so long?" Serena asked as she and Mina got into the car.
"Sorry. I couldn't find my purse." She lied as she tuned the radio to the news.
"You'll hear it straight from the source here first folks. You all know the super cute blonde, Serena Tsukino? You know, CEO of that fashion agency? Well she's up to her old stunts again." The voice said.
Serena just kept driving, sighing internally, as Mina sighed out loud.
"What's your name sir?"
"Bill."
"And what were you up to last night?"
"Well I was at that new club, Chez Luke, when I spotted her. I went up to her and we hit it off. We went to my place afterwards and…well I'm sure you know. When we finished,"
"Two minutes later…" Serena muttered as Mina tried to hide a giggle.
"She stood up, got dressed and left."
"Playgirl Serena Tsukino at it again. If I could only be so lucky next time." The voice laughed.
Serena flipped her phone open and dialed some numbers.
"Wait." The voice said. "Looks like we have a very special call coming in. Hello?"
"Yah, I just thought I'd let all those girls out there know something since I know Bill thinks he's going to get a lot of offers after sleeping with me. Girls, he's not that good in bed, and that 'when we finished' comment was referred to at most two minutes later. Probably the worst sex I've ever had."
"Well thank you for that Serena."
"It's Ms. Tsukino to you jackass." She said before hanging up. "I swear the media is stupid."
"The company is going to take a hit."
"I was thinking Mina, what if we started a lingerie line? That way every time I have sex, I can incorporate how I was 'trying out' my product."
"Well that won't be an issue because you're done sleeping around."
Serena sighed as she pulled into the parking garage. "Mina."
"I can't be the least bit concerned about my best friend?"
Serena didn't say anything as she pulled into her spot.
"Serena, I want to help you."
"I can't even help myself." She said before quickly getting out and walking towards the entrance.
Mina sighed as her phone went off. "Hello?"
"I'm assuming you heard the radio report?"
"Yah."
"Anyways, I was wondering if you wanted to go out to dinner with me tonight."
"I don't know if I can Andy. I don't wanna leave her alone, and I'll probably have to do damage control."
"Just one night. Invite her too, I can find a buddy who isn't doing anything."
"She'd get pissed if we set her up on a date."
"This isn't a date, or at least for them. My buddy is coming into town today and I told him I'd show him around. I can offer dinner."
"Okay, okay. I'll talk to her and see how the day plays out."
"Okay. Call me later."
Mina got out of the car. "Will do. Love you."
"Love you too."
"See you later."
"See you."
She quickly hung the phone up and entered the building.
"Good morning Ms. Aino." The receptionist greeted.
"I told you, it's Mina." She smiled. "Good morning Katrina. What's the latest?"
"Same old, same old. People questioning our work ethic. Not that bad though. I think this is actually bringing more clients to us more than it's dropped clients." She shrugged.
"Just don't tell Serena that. It'll give her more reason to keep doing it."
"Of course Mina." She nodded as Mina walked past the secretary's desk. She knocked on Serena's office door.
"Yah?"
"Can I come in?"
"Sure." Serena's voice called. As soon as the door opened, Serena was waving her friend over. "Come look."
Mina stood beside Serena's chair and peered over her shoulder. She gasped. "Oh my gosh Serena, that's totally hot!" Mina said picking up the drawing. "What if you added this?" She put the paper back on the desk and stole Serena's pencil and began adding things.
"We have to get this out there!" Serena practically yelled. "It's…not even hot, but beautiful." Serena said in awe.
"Extremely."
Serena then picked up a pencil and began drawing on a new page.
"So I have a question for you."
"Yah?" She said as she continued drawing.
"Well, Andy promised me a date, as well as promised to show his buddy around. I was gonna back out, but then we thought of just turning it into a group thing. We could go to dinner and a movie or something." Mina said subtly.
Serena stopped drawing and peered up at Mina. "You're setting me up on a blind date?"
"No, no! It's just that this guy is new to town. He's Andrew's best friend, and he wants me to meet him."
"I will on one condition."
"What?"
"You model some of this new line."
Mina blushed. "How can I do that!?"
"Simple, you put them on…"
"That's not what I meant."
"Well we need someone to test it to see if men find it as appealing as we do."
"So what do I have to do?"
"Model it for Andrew."
Mina looked skeptic. "So all I have to do is model some of these clothes for Andrew, and you'll come to dinner with us?"
"Well then he has to give his opinion. I mean, he's one of the biggest media guys out there! Everyone reads his articles. If he were to do one on Luna Fashions, we'd hit it big time!"
"Alright, I'll talk to him and see if he'll go for it."
"Well get on the phone, I'm going to keep working on these sketches." She pressed the intercom. "Katrina, when is our first meeting?"
"Not until lunch at noon Serena."
"Alright, thank you."
"No problem."
She looked up to Mina. "Well, go get on the phone with him already." Serena smiled as Mina pulled out her phone.
"Hey Andy."
"Hey, what's up?"
"Well I talked to Rena, and she said she would on one condition."
"What's that?"
"I model our new line for you and you write a review on it."
"Sure. Not a problem."
"Great! When and where?"
"I'll pick you girls up at your house?"
"Works for me. Time?"
"Round six."
"Great! See you then."
"Love you."
"Love you too." Mina said hanging up the phone. Mina took a seat at her own desk in the room and began sketching some designs. "Rena, you're not using this as an excuse to sleep around."
Serena stopped and sighed. "I know Mina. But it's more then what everyone thinks."
"What is it?"
"When I know, you'll be the first person I tell." She sighed as she continued sketching.
A/N: Wow. Super glad to finally get this story out there! I've been working on it for about two years now. I just wanted to get the story completed before posting it. I really hope you guys enjoy it. As always I LOVE reviews. Please let me know what you think. As I said, the story is completed. I'm not gonna just upload it all at once though (where's the fun in that?) but I will update rather quickly. I'll probably get way to excited and post the whole story in a couple days. But I want a couple reviews before posting chapter two. That will be up in probably about 12 hours from now. Again, please review. I'm hoping you guys enjoy :)
