"What do you think of this one?" asked Lori. Ben looked over where she was standing and saw her looking at yet another couch. It was large corner shaped couch in chocolate brown with cream and white cushions lined along it. Ben sighed they had already bought a few tables, a gorgeous king sized 4 poster bed, some kitchen appliances (which Ben knew would never be used as Lori didn't have the faintest idea of where the food was kept never mind how to cook it) and a few large screen plasma TV's.
"Yeah, it's nice" he replied. She turned and looked at him.
"That's what you said about the last 6"
"Well you must like one better" she said walking over to him, wrapping her arms around his waist and giving him bambi eyes.
"Lori, I'm a guy I really don't care" He said. Noticing the sad look on her face he added;
"But let's try them out and see" He walked backwards, Lori still attached to his waist, until he reached the edge of the couch he toppled over the edge and landed on the couch with Lori underneath him he was being careful not to put his full weight onto her fragile body. She laughed and kissed him passionately.
"Oh I definitely like this one the best" He smirked. He crawled off her and reached out his hand to help her up.
"Great! Now give Lori the plastic" she patronised. He smiled sarcastically at her and handed her his black card from the back pocket of his jeans. She handed it to the assistant and wrapped her arms around Ben's neck.
"I love you" she said still laughing.
"As crazy as I am I love you too"
"Ok, now onto tables and chairs" Lori beamed. Ben groaned and fell back onto the couch. Lori only laughed and made her way over to the garden section.

5 hours later they pulled into their new house. It always amazed Ben how much Lori could actually spend in so little time. She had managed to rack up a $150,000 bill but what was he complaining for, it wasn't like he couldn't afford it and if it made her happy then it was worth it. He stepped into his new house and still saw it was as chaotic as it had been when he left it. No-one had seen the house they had bought as they wanted to keep it a secret until all the furniture was set up. He dropped some bags onto the breakfast bar table ad walked to the phone. He saw that it was flashing which meant he had a message. He pressed the button to receive the message.
Hey Bro…. and Lori
Still cant get used to saying that. Anyway I've got a race tomorrow at the track and I was wondering If you two would be joining me. it's going to be the usual gang. Mom, Dad, Harry, friends ect ect. Well if you two aren't too busy having sex ring me back to let me know.
BEEP the message ended. His older brother, Matthew, owned his own Formula one driving team and he was quite a talented driver. He saw Lori re-enter the room with a bottle of J2o, which she had become addicted to during filming Charlie's Angels, she looked around at the array of furniture boxes she kept making faces at the complicated instructions. She was so cute when she was confused.
"Hey Lori"
"Hmmm?" she replied, throwing the instructions behind her.
"Are you doing anything tomorrow?"
"Ummm….. I have a photo shoot at 3 but other than that no why?" she asked this time looking up at him.
"Well Matthew wants to know if we want to go watch the race tomorrow. What do you say?"
"Sure what time?"
"I don't know. I'll ring him now" Ben said as he picked up the phone and dialled the number. A moment later a male's voice answered.
"Hey Bro. Did you get my message?"
"Yeah I did what time is the race"
"4:30"
Ben shouted the time to Lori who nodded her approval. Ben told Matthew he would be there then hung up. As soon as he did the intercom buzzed which meant that someone was at the gates. Seeing that Lori hadn't moved he slid off the stool and spoke into the intercom.
"Mr. Stanton. The furniture van had arrived. Would you like me to let them through?" asked a guard at the other end.
"Yeah, thanks Tom"
"No problem Mr. Stanton"
A few minutes later 5 men burst through the door carrying an assortment of boxes. Once they had brought in all the boxes, an hour later, Ben thanked them and tipped them a hundred dollars. Another hour had passed and Ben had managed to assemble the large bed in his and Lori's room. It was now 10pm and he lay in bed, in only his boxers, flicking through the channels on the TV opposite. He finally found a channel that had just started playing The Italian Job 2 he threw the remote down onto the floor where Coco and Rex, a husky Lori had bought him, slept. After about 5 minutes Lori entered wearing a pair of Ben's boxers and a pink tank top. Her apple laptop was tucked under her arm. She climbed into the bed and made herself comfortable by laying a head on Ben's chest and snuggling up to him. She opened the laptop and went on to check her emails. After 5 minutes she shut the laptop and put it down onto the floor. She cuddled up close to him, lifted her leg over his and draped her arm over her stomach.
"This is nice" Lori said tracing circles on his stomach.
"It certainly is. Look how hot Charlize Theron is." he answered. Lori playfully slapped him and he feigned hurt. For the rest of the night they watched films until it reached 1am and they fell asleep in each others arms.

"Ben I'll meet you at the track at 4:30" Lori yelled from the doorway. He grunted in return and Lori rolled his eyes. He was playing on his play station even though he was supposed to be setting up furniture. It was 10am and Lori was being picked up to be taken to the race track so she could do some promotional shots for Charlie's Angels. From outside she heard the beep of a horn, she picked up her bag and looked at the mess in the mirror. She hadn't gotten up until 9:30 and had rushed to get ready. She had threw on a blue juicy sweat suit, messily tied her platinum weave into a bun and hadn't bothered putting any makeup on. They would do it for when she got there. Her publicist had rung last night and told her that the shoot would take place at the race track so Ben and Lori had agreed to meet there. She stepped out into the beaming sunlight and clambered into a black SUV. She saw the two other Charlie's Angels sitting patiently in the car. Chloe Grimed was a gorgeous brunette. She had piercing green eyes and she was playing Dylan. Parise Greenspan was a stunning African- American with mysterious brown eyes she was playing Alex and so of course Lori played Natalie.
"Hey guys" Lori said, leaning back into the comfortable leather.
"Hey" they replied in unison.
"Nice place you got there" Chloe remarked.
"On the outside but inside it's total chaos. Ben was supposed to be assembling furniture but instead was playing on his play station this morning"
They all laughed. To Lori these two girls were like her second Jenny and Cally, who had now been adopted, just as fun and lively. They had gotten on like a house on fire when they were in Hollywood. They had all lived in this big Beverly Hills mansion during filming and the three had been inseparable. For the rest of the journey they caught up on the latest events and enjoyed each others company again.

"Just move a little to the right… perfect" requested the photographer. Lori, Chloe and Parise were sitting on the hood of a Ferrari in outfits that revealed a lot. They were wearing red jumpsuits with the tops undone so you could see the bikini's underneath. Their makeup was perfect and not a hair was out of place on their perfect little heads. There were a lot of people surrounding them not just the entourage but the race teams. They had all come early to make sure the cars were working and what the track conditions were like. But none of them, well none of the men, could concentrate on what they were doing. Their eyes were transfixed on the 3 beauties only a few yards away.
"Ok that's great were all done here. Once we can get them blown up and onto boards we are all done. The premier is next week in Hollywood, I'll ring you with the details. Good job girls." trailed the producer. Thank god for that Lori thought to herself. It had taken 6 hours to do all the photos. They each had to pose for about 20 photographs and had to do about 40 together so the producers could choose the best ones.
"See you guys at the premier" Lori waved as she came out of the trailer. She had gotten changed into a pair of jeans, a Chloe top and matching bag. She made her way over to the Stanton camp, gaining wolf whistles on the way, which she just rolled her eyes at.

Paige and Lori sat in directors chairs, sipping J20's, opposite where a group of about 10 men were fussing round one of the cars. It was 20 minutes before the race began and something hadn't been working properly in the engine.
"Do you think we should tell them what they are doing is wrong?" asked Paige. Despite having their blonde moments Paige and Lori were actually very intelligent especially when it came to cars. One summer they had gone on holiday together and had taken a course in race car driving. The only reason they had paid attention was because the instructor was hot but nevertheless they had learnt everything about cars and had never forgotten it. "yeah probably" Lori whispered back. She saw one of the engineers scratch his head in frustration and decided to help.
"I wouldn't put that in there if I were you" Lori directed towards another engineer who was about to place something in the engine.
"And why not little girl?" he sneered. What could a stupid socialite know about cars? He thought to himself.
"Ok first of all I am not a little girl I am 21 years old and secondly if you put that in your engine the traction will cut out and the breaks will fail" she stated taking another swig from the bottle. All the men, including Ben, turned to look at her.
"What?" she asked innocently.
"How do you know that?" asked the same engineer that only a minute ago had patronised her.
"Paige why don't you explain?" Lori said turning to her fake brunette sister.
"Why thank you Lori" they laughed and hugged each other.
"Well one summer we went on this amazing holiday to Italy, which our dad paid for, and the nice people at Ferrari trained us on how to be race car drivers. Hey Lori. Do you remember how hot that instructor was?"
"Who could forget. He had a gorgeous ass" they both laughed.
"I have been fixing race cars for 30 years do you really think I'm going to take advice off two idiotic girls?"
"Well if you want Matthew to live then yes. Matthew am I right in my assumption that you take the hammerhead corner at about 110 mph?"
"Ummm… yeah about that" he said with bewilderment on his face. Not only had his brother managed to get himself a blonde bombshell but she was clever as well.
"Well if you take the hammerhead corner at 110mph and you put that In the engine then you will most likely kill him. For example if he approaches the corner and that thing snaps the traction cables will snap which in turn will cut the brake cables" she finished.
"Oh" was all the now embarrassed engineer could say. They all returned back to work except Ben who stood with a look of amazement on his face. There was no way he was letting this one go. When she noticed him smiling at her she flashed him a dimpled smile and mouthed an I love you to him before returning to her conversation with Paige. Then he too carried on fixing the car.
"Paige I'm not telling him and if you do so help me God I will deny all relation to you" Lori whispered. Tomorrow Lori was going into hospital to have an operation to put metal plates into her ankle. While filming she had sprained her ankle and when she had visited her doctor they had advised her to have the operation as she had broken her ankle one too many times. She had agreed but hadn't told anyone but Paige. She would have told Ben but he had an important game coming up and she didn't want to un-necessarily worry him and stress him out.
"and what are you going to tell him when you are gone for two days because your in hospital recovering?"
"I'll just tell him I'm going to a friends house in Miami and wont be back for a few days" Lori made up off the top of her head.
"Just so you know I 100 don't agree with this not telling him" Paige glared at her.
"Just so you know I 100 don't care" Lori finished and took another bottle of J20 and taking a big swig.
