All- The Real World Newport Beach

Anna and Seth were eying each other across the table over breakfast when there was a messenger at the door. The message simply said they were to meet the Newport Group to figure out what their new job was going to entail. They had to be ready for a lunch at noon. The only problem was it was already 11 and everyone else was still sleeping.

The two looked at each other and squealed in excited. They were going to a lunch on a yacht with some of the wealthiest people in California. This is going to be better then any of them could have imagined. Plus they just liked to jump and down while hugging each other.

Anna ran to wake up all the girls. She turned the light on in Summer and Marissa's room and ran to jump on the bed of her own roommate. She was so excited she could hardly wait. She wanted to do something with sailing it was one of her specialties. She once sailed across the gulf coast. It wasn't as far as she wanted to go, but it will do for now. Until she can find a real partner to take on a trip to Tahiti… Maybe Seth will go with her when this whole show is done.

Alex mumbled something about how it was too early and pushed Anna off the bed. She didn't want to get up, but Anna wasn't about to give up. She pulled the cover off and turned the light on. "Good Morning Sunshine! You have exactly forty-five minutes to get ready for work starting now!"

"Wake me up in a half hour…" Alex mumbled rolling over on her stomach."

Anna rolled her eyes as she blared her radio. She wasn't in the mood to work with a bunch of slackers. This could be a good thing for everyone. If they worked hard now, eventually all the doors would open.

Seth was talking to Ryan in the one male bedroom. They looked at the empty bed. They couldn't help but wonder what happened to Johnny. It wasn't their responsibility to worry about Johnny, but they couldn't just let him rot in jail. Maybe they would hurry up and swing by the jailhouse on the way to work… If they weren't going to be late.

"So what happened to you last night, dude?" Seth said as he buttoned up his white dress shirt. He sat on his bed and started to put his shoes on.

"I don't know."

"What do you mean you don't know, you were there?"

"There is just something about her…"

"So, what's the problem?"

"I have an on/off girlfriend at home. I just don't know what's going on in that situation. We haven't talked in a while and last I heard she was dating some obnoxious jerk"

"Take this time to explore all the fish in the sea. Don't worry about it. If she's dating someone else how can she get mad?"

"I don't know…"

Meanwhile Marissa and Summer stood in the bathroom putting on makeup. They were still unaware of what was going on. They just smiled at one another. It was one of those smiles that meant something but it didn't have to be said. They were in lust… It wasn't love yet… It was like a new Gucci bag, something you really want but have to work for it.

"I'm going to play him hot and cold…" Summer said as she looked at the final product in the mirror. She looked good and she knew it.

"He's in jail you can't play him anything."

"Right… I really should bail him out… How much do you think it would be?"

"Not the price of another manicure… I'm talking big money."

"hmmmm… How much do you have?"

"Not enough to cover that mischievous grin on your face."

"We have to be to work in like fifteen, you guys almost ready because everyone is sitting in the living room," Anna said popping her head into the bathroom.

Marissa and Summer nodded as the three girls walked downstairs.

Everyone was walking onto a boat where a middle aged bald headed man was standing. He checked his watch and shook his head. They all looked at each other. They were on time weren't they?

"Haven't you ever heard the saying if you arrive on time you're late. You should always be ten minutes early." He said as he motion for the housemates to follow him. They were all nervous they were expecting a job where they could have a little fun and earn some serious cash. They never imagined working for a hard ass.

"I'm Caleb Nichols. I will be your boss. Now normally the Newport Group wouldn't hire such a young group of people to run any of its business. However, we are opening a new party planning option and we think that young and hip just may be the spin we need. With that said you will all be in charge of coming up with the whole department. You will need to select someone to be the manager." Caleb said as everyone sat at a round table looking at one another. No one wanted to be manager because it seemed like their new boss had high expectations.

"Will we be working closely with you?" Marissa asked looking around the table. It wasn't anything against him. He just wasn't someone they would normally want to plan parties with. He looked like he had never been to a party in his life.

"No, Ill be your supervisor," A 30 something woman said rushing up in a pair of jean and a nice shirt. She looked gorgeous in her oversized sunglasses and designer clothes. Everyone smiled. She looked like someone that they could have fun with. "I may be a little over the hill, but I do know something about planning."

"This is Kayla my assistant." Caleb said as he took a sip from a glass of water.

"Sorry, I'm late, but it seems one of you missed his ride."

As if right on cue Johnny entered the room looking down. He couldn't believe the way he met his boss was by her bailing him out of jail. He was so embarrassed. He just managed to look up long enough to see Summer's eyes light up when she saw him. He sat down in the only open sit and sighed softly. He really didn't want to be here.

"Now that everyone is here… Let's eat." Caleb said.

"I like to be manager." Ryan said to Seth as he saw Alex walk into the room. He knew that this couldn't be good. Their personalities just didn't click. They were opposing forces of nature. Together they couldn't win.

"That'd be cool."

"Yeah. I just know more about the business end of things then I do about the actual parties."

"Awe… How sweet? Superman admits he has a weakness." Alex said mocking him as she sat down next to Seth. He was the only decent man in the house. Good thing she also liked girls. Although Summer and Marissa were just too girly for her taste.

"You don't have to be such a bitch just because you don't like me."

"Did I ask for your opinion? Ah no!"

Seth stood silent as he could tell this was going to turn into an argument. He almost wanted top get up and leave… But with these two you never know when things will start to get physical.

"Alex, I'm not in the mood for all your crap."

"Go ahead hit me… It's the only way you'll ever get me to shut up. However if you hit me then you'll be sent back to the trailer park."

"Don't act like you know where I come from. You don't know anything about me!"

"You men are all the same… You think you're the shit. I don't have to know where you came from to not like you."

Just shut the fuck up I don't want to hear your voice anymore."

"Awwe. Did I hit a nerve?"

Seth pulled Ryan away. "Dude, how about a nice game of pool?"

It was really getting tense in there. I don't know what it is about Alex but her dark side comes out around Ryan. All I know is this is going to be a long six months if they keep this up, or someone is going to end up getting kicked off the show.

Summer was sitting on the pool table blocking Johnny's way of hitting the eight ball. He was getting a little annoyed but he couldn't help but like looking at her. She was like a piece of art on display for only his eyes.

"Summer can I tell you something?" Johnny asked as he sat down on the couch in the game room. He looked at her afraid of what she was going to say. He didn't want to come off as some hopeless romantic type. He just liked her, but was kind of scared to where that would lead… Not to mention he had Casey back home.

"Go for it!" She replied looking at him.

"Did I ever tell you that I have a girlfriend back at home?"

"oh…" she couldn't hide the disappointment in her voice.

"I like you Summer."

"Oh."

"I can't control myself around you and that scares me! I don't want to hurt Casey…. But I…"

Summer didn't know what to say. She really thought she and Johnny had this connection. She didn't want to let it go because she knew he had a girlfriend. She did the thing that any home wrecker would do… "Don't think!" She kissed him.
