Thanks for your reviews and please keep reading and telling me what you think! I gladly accept your ideas and criticism! Here's chapter 4:

---------

Sandy hated parties with the Newpsies. Functions, galas, fashion shows, auctions, benefits, 'small' get-togethers- everything involving rich elitists 'supporting' those less fortunate

wasn't exactly his definition of fun. He was more interested in having the house to himself and his wife for a romantic evening of relaxation and pleasure. Tonight was not one of

those nights, however. It was a night for a party at the Cohen casa, where Kirsten, Caleb, and Julie were trying to seal a contract with a major company to continue on with their

plans to build a resort, complete with shopping, spas, hotels, restaurants, and golf courses (because the lack of those in this area of Orange County is absolutely tragic, according to

Sandy). It was also part of the company's "image makeover" and so it was to benefit Harbor School's Big Brother and Sister Foundation. Sandy was completely dreading it

, knowing that Kirsten would be busy with her father and work as well as playing hostess to at least be with him. Normally, at these parties, he would say a few hello's and then he

would puppy guard Kirsten the rest of the night, and they would just end up dancing. He would have to endure the Newpsies on his own tonight. Listening to the women brag on

about their husband's wealthy career, their children's brand new sports cars, and above all- the latest gossip. These women drove him crazy. He knew his wife was one of them,

sort of. She didn't exactly enjoy their company, nor was she as shallow and self- absorbed (although Seth had to have inherited it from someone). Kirsten was angelically beautiful,

not plastic, she was intelligent, and a shrewd businesswoman, not just some bored woman who was dependent on her husband for money that she would later spend on expensive

things she didn't need. Kirsten absolutely hated these women sometimes. They gossiped all the time about her and her family. Constantly she heard about how everyone was

appalled at the fact that she was still with Sandy, a lawyer from the Bronx, Jewish, and not in the least bit wealthy. She heard about her son, who was quite the recluse, and a bit of

a wise-ass to everyone he met. She heard about Ryan, and how crazy she was to trust this brooding bad boy from Chino- who was without a doubt trying to hustle Newport's

princess, Caleb Nichol's daughter. Despite all this, these women were Kirsten's friends, and tonight Sandy had to deal with them.

It was 4:30 on Saturday. Sandy was still in his sweats, and Kirsten was in the middle of doing her hair and make-up, and dressed in a short silky bathrobe. Sandy saw this as quite

a tease. He crept up behind her, and his hands rested on her hips, and he kissed her neck, trying to distract her. Kirsten turned around in his arms smiling, and kissed him

passionately. He was a good distraction from the fact that she wasn't in the mood for playing hostess and dealing with her father and Julie all night. He allowed himself to enjoy the

moment, knowing that it would not last all evening.

6:00 rolled around, and Kirsten was dressed up in a Chanel dress. It was a champagne colored silk, to the knees, accentuating her figure, but still loose and flowy. Her legs were

long, toned, and evenly tanned with a beautiful Californian glow. She was simply stunning. Sandy couldn't keep his eyes off of her, neither could a lot of other guests at the party.

She did the simplest thing like flash a smile, and it seemed as if the whole crowd was melting all of a sudden, like they were witches with water being poured on them. Sandy still

wasn't dressed. "What do I need to do to get you in a suit these days?" she asked, frazzled by the fact that she had a million things to do in about 10 minutes. "Well you could get

UN-dressed…" he started with a playful smile. Kirsten gave him a "I wish we could but I'm too busy and you're driving me crazy" look. Sandy got the picture and nodded,

heading towards the closet to go get changed but, his wife grabbed his hand, and he turned around to be greeted by a short, fore shadowing kiss that would be considered

'unfinished business' until later tonight. She smiled, and then waltzed out of the room elegantly to go help the caterers.
