The party was in full swing. The world and his wife had turned out for the event of the year. The party was being held at the Angel Club in New York which was owned by the Stanton family so of course the party was free of charge. The club had been extravagantly decorated, the strobe lights flashing all the different colours, the dance floor permanently in use, food being restocked every 5 minutes. There was a large throne placed on the balcony overlooking the dance floor, presents were piled high around the 21 year old as she thanked the gift givers graciously. She wore a silk pink dress that ended at different parts of her knee and showed her bare shoulders. She still wore the Dolce and Gabbana watch that Mrs Stanton had given her earlier and the ring and necklace from Ben. She also now proudly displayed a priceless tiara from the family collection. Every Huntzberger girl was given a tiara on their 21st birthday it was the sign of woman hood. The surprise Michelle had been talking about earlier was certainly a surprise. It had turned out Vogue had decorated one side of their New York main office skyscraper with one of the pages with Lori on.
Lori was having a fabulous time. She had arrived in a Lamborghini on the arm of the man she loved, she felt gorgeous, all her friends and family surrounded her and she was finally able to say she was a woman. She was laughing at something Jenny had said when she saw two figures approaching her. She couldn't quite believe her eyes. The couple in question were a kind of recluse. They had bought their own private island, after winning a mega amount of money, and had retired there. They had no contact to the outside world only one telephone. Lori had only met them once but they weren't exactly the type of people you could forget in a hurry, Alessandro's parents.
"Lori, Congratulations" Mr. Colciago said as he hugged her tightly. Judging by the looks on Cally and Jenny's faces they were just as confused as she was.
"Um… Thanks Mr. Colciago" She pulled back and saw the two looking at her proudly.
"Your awfully thin for someone in your condition, dear" Mrs. Colciago spit out.
"Someone in my condition?" Lori asked looking towards Ben's table where he was sitting with his football buddies. He smiled at her and she weakly returned the smile.
"Yes dear, we were so proud when we heard we just had to come and congratulate you"
"I'm sorry I really have no idea what your talking about" Lori answered truthfully.
"Your pregnancy dear. Alessandro told us you two were expecting a little bundle of joy. We didn't expect it until after you two had been married but never the less. We couldn't be happier for you" Mr. Colciago rubbed her flat stomach, gaining some weird expressions from around the room especially her family.
"HE TOLD YOU WHAT?" Lori asked panicking. Some gasps were heard around the room.
"He told us about the pregnancy. Is there a problem?"
"Yes there's a problem. First of all I am most definitely NOT pregnant. Secondly your son and I broke up 4 months ago and I have a new boyfriend now" She beckoned for Ben to come over, which he quickly did, he wrapped his arm around Lori's waist and extended his hand towards the perplexed couple. While they shook hands Lori saw an unwanted person smirking at her from the bar. She excused herself from the group and stormed towards Alessandro. When she got there she forcefully grabbed his arm and pulled him into the closest available room, slamming the door behind her. They remained silent for a few minutes. Alessandro had taken a pew on a table and Lori was rubbing her shoulders over by the window.
"Why did you tell them I was pregnant?" she asked calmly though she was fuming inside.
"I wanted to give them some good news while I worked on getting you back" he replied clasping his sweating hands together.
"Oh you are unbelievable. You really think that I'm going to go back with you?" Lori asked not believing what she had just heard.
"I hoped that over time you would come round to your senses and leave that idiotic football player and come back to a real man"
"Don't you even dare!" she said raising her voice.
"He's a waste of space"
"Ben never threw me down the stairs 3 times. Ben never slit my wrists of held a knife to my throat and you want to know what the best thing is? He would do everything in his power to protect me, I love him and he loved me which is more than I can say for our relationship" Lori asked slightly crying now. She groaned when she heard shocked gasps from outside the room.
"Come now. They were one off's I was mad and you knew I was incredibly sorry after"
"Maybe"
"Maybe? Look what they have turned you into. All we need to do is get this yucky blonde hair back to brunette and get you some more green contacts and everything will go back to how it was" He said standing close to her.
"You know Alessandro there is something I have wanted to do for years now" she said playing along.
"What would that be?" he asked with a smug look on his face thinking that she was coming back to him.
"This" she said rubbing her hands up and town his torso then quickly removing him and slamming them into his face. He immediately toppled backwards and grabbed onto his nose. Trying not to smile she stepped over his body and stared down at him.
"Now get out of my party, life and business or I'll have the Yale football team throw you out" She turned and flung the door open. Her family, friends and Ben all had sadden and shocked looks on their faces and some of the girls had even been crying heavily judging by the black mascara running down their faces. Lori rolled her eyes and walked past them, some of them followed some of them too shocked to move. She made her way to the bar and ordered a shot. She saw Ben, Cally and Jenny appear at her sides.
"Was all that stuff you said in there true?" Cally asked gently as she placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Every last bit" Lori said taking the shot perfectly.
"Lori I'm sorry…"
"Guys don't be. It happened, it's in the past and that's were its staying." she said "Now this is a party not a funeral so I want all those sad looks off your faces and happy looks back on. Cally, Jenny go and dance I'll be with you in a minute" she told them. Reluctantly they did as they were told and quickly found two hot young guys to keep them company.
"You Okay?" Ben asked as he shrugged his jacket off and placed it round her shoulders.
"I'm fine. He was a waste of space anyway" She said placing the glass back on the bar and kissing him. "Now c'mon lets dance" she said grabbing his hand and pulling him into the lively crowd.

4 hours later two blondes stumbled into the apartment building. Holding hands, kissing and laughing. After their brief talk they had gotten hammered and were sure that their hangovers would beat world records the next morning. They ran to the elevator and got in with some elderly rich residents. Ben pushed Lori against the elevator mirror and wrapped his arms around her. They started to make out when they heard tutting noises from the other occupants. Laughing, they broke apart and waited until the others had left the lift before resuming their previous activities. They burst out into Ben's penthouse and still laughing went into the bedroom where they promptly fell asleep in each others arms.
