Chapter 2

Lights off, Lights on

"So the week of the 31st I'll be in LA and I'll be back on the 4th. I have a dinner at Roberto's on the 6th with the Japanese investors, that I would like you to join me its at 8:00, they're bringing their wives. Can you see if you can make it.

"Um let me check I can't, I'll be in England that whole week, sorry. I have on the 22nd a meeting in Baltimore, the 25th I have to be in Hong Kong and from there I'm leaving for London. Um we can schedule it for the second week of October, how does that look for you?"

"Right now I only have a few things and I might be able to switch some stuff around. How long do you think we need to have this discussion?"

"Not too long maybe an hour or two. We have a lot of options we need to discuss. How's next May looking for you?"

"Next May nothing big as off now. Why?"

"Because if we do decide to merge I would like a May wedding and I want to clear the whole month of May for the wedding and our honeymoon. I might take off the first week of June too because we'll have to get settle in my flat."

"You're apartment? Why would we have to move into your apartment? Why not mine?"

"Because my flat is bigger. I also have an enormous dinning room that can accommodate 30. Once we're married we'll have to entertain more and I need a large dinning room to have a proper seven course dinner party. Not to mention the fact that my flat has some color and doesn't look empty like I barely live in it. Besides at some point we'll move to a bigger place living in my flat will only be temporary. I do think we should start looking at properties in Greenwich. It's not a long commute, and I was talking to Liz and Grant and they told me that there are tons of hot properties coming on the market, one even has its own stables."

"Yeah, okay we'll talk about that. I'm not sure about Greenwich; I think we should stay in the city, and maybe look into buying a townhouse, or a penthouse. We'll go over everything when we sit down and discuss getting married. Hillary, I can't believe you hate my apartment. I've lived here for five years and there's nothing wrong with my apartment. Is this why you only spend two nights a week here with me?"

"No I only spend two nights a week because it's practical. You're apartment is on the other side of the city and my office is in the opposite direction. It would make no sense for me to spend any more nights here. The weekends are fine. I only spend two nights sleeping here just like you only spend two nights sleeping in my apartment too when you're in town. It's not practical Nathan you know that. Now can you let me know what you think of May because if you can't then we'll have to do a September wedding and you usually launch something every September and it will be tricky to get you to commit to a 10 day honeymoon. So I'm really have my heart set on May. Can you do it?"

"Yeah I can pencil it in now, but we'll have to see. You know how my life is so I'll try, no promises. But I will make sure that Sally knows to keep me free that month. Now I wanted to ask you one other thing, would you mind helping me out by throwing a small cocktail party to celebrate the signing of Susan O'Grady as the face of Illusions. Just a few 60 people no more than that."

"Do you want the usual?"

"Yes um full bar the good stuff. Buffet with lots of food, champagne, and don't forget the dessert table. Hilary you know what I like, just make sure it's not too over the top. It's just a small, cocktail party to Introduce Susan to the board, and to the stock holders. My mother is handling a bigger party once the ad is done to introduce her to the world, as she likes to tell everyone. So can you do it?"

"Yes, I can. I have the list of all the stock holders and the board members on my lap top, have Sally fax Melanie any additions. I think I'll hire a new cater though the Risotto was a bit to gummy at my last dinner party. Now as for location I'll start looking around for sites, maybe a hotel with a five star restaurant, I'll take care of it. I think it was a good choice, picking Susan O'Grady. She's perfect, clean, fresh, and a huge hit with the 30 year old women. She just screams out professional, and a classic beauty. She is a well known model with a wonderful reputation. I think it would have been a mistake to hire the other girl; she was too wild which in my opinion would have backfire in the end. She would have made shooting the ads and the commercial a complete nightmare. Girls like that are demanding, and want everything there way. Susan is perfect; she won't be a bit of trouble."

Nathan chuckled. "I agree but I think the reason you like her so much is because she's English. You pitch her to me, the perfect, English rose. I think you did it too because you two went to finishing school together. But you're right she is the face. I know my mom was hesitant but the minute she sees the add she is going to fall in love. If she doesn't I'll just tell her to call you. It was all your idea."

"Ha, ha…very funny. Like I want to give you mother another reason to dislike me, and don't tell me she doesn't, because we both know she doesn't like me. One comment about not wanting children and the woman hates me. I don't understand her obsession with grand children. There's more to life than having a baby."

"Don't worry about my mother, besides Luke will give her plenty of grandkids, when he settles down. If he ever settles down. Now one other thing since we're talking about my mother. I'm not sure I can go with you to England for Christmas. She is throwing this huge family Christmas thing and I hate to leave her alone, so I can't go. But I'll give you your gift before you leave and maybe we can take a weekend and go to Aspen, in February. "

"Oh that's disappointing oh well, can you at least make for Boxing Day? Mummy and Daddy have an Open house party on Boxing day, there's a fox hunt and if we decide to get married it would be a perfect time to announce our engagement, actually it might not be, I'm not sure my mother would be able to handle finding out that her youngest daughter is getting married in the United States instead of the chapel at our country house, where all my sisters got married. She has this vision of me in millions of pounds of lace, a tiara, and a huge reception; she's going to be so disappointed."

"Hillary, relax nothing been decided yet. I thought that you and I were going to sit down and make a list of the pros and cons of us getting engage and married. What have we've been doing for the last hour, laying in bed with our Blackberry's?"

"Trying to figure out when we can sit down for two hours and discuss the whole marriage, engagement thing, since our life is so hectic. I know, I know but darling you know my parents…"

"And you know my mother. Look why don't we make time to do this next week. I can cancel my basketball game with Luke on Saturday; can you cancel whatever you have, so we can talk about it and make some sort of decisions? Maybe I can even coax you into running off to Vegas and eloping."

"Nathan Scott, eloping is so crass, are you crazy? Las Vegas! It's so tacky, so not us. Can you imagine the announcement of our marriage in the New York Times, with the words a chapel in Las Vegas? My goodness. As for next Saturday, yes I do have plans. I was driving up to Greenwich, for the day, I was going to go riding with Betsy but I guess I could cancel it."

"No don't go head. I know how much you enjoy riding. We'll do this next week; we'll talk about it and figure out what to do. Like you said the other day if we can't get married next year, we'll do it the year after. It's not like either of us are going anywhere so we'll figure it all out and see how we can make everyone happy. Now do we have time to make love or is it too late? It's been two weeks you know."

Hilary looked at the alarm clock on the nightstand. "It's ten a clock it's kind of late Nathan, I have a meeting in the morning so it would have to be really quick. I told you that I'm about to sign up the Roberts brothers as new clients. I've been working on this deal for months and it's just about to pan out. But if you promise to be quick I might still be able to get to bed at a decent hour."

"No don't worry about it. I know you like to be fresh, and calm when you're meeting future clients. I know how hard you work to get this meeting. Lets finishing going over our calendars and then call it a night."

"Yes darling oh before I forget the Krantz wants us to join them at their club for a round of golf, I know you don't like him but he is a good contact to have."

"Ugh I don't mind him I can't stand her she is such a ditz. First of all she can't play golf, she's like ten, and I still can't believe he traded Sharon in for her. Sharon who went through so much with him, what was he thinking?"

"Apparently he wasn't thinking with his brain if you know what I mean. Everyone is talking about it. Sharon so sophisticated, so educated. She married him against her parent's wishes, they practically disown her. She made him. If it hadn't been for her connections he wouldn't be the man that he is today. And to be traded in for a teenager who the rumor is was a call girl. I swear, what was that man was thinking. Passion is all well and good but what makes a relationship is partnership, not sex. Poor Sharon and they were about to start looking into adoption. I agree with you the last thing I want to do is spend and afternoon with the new Mrs. Krantz, but we still can't snub him he's an important man. He owns three of the largest banks in New York. He's an important man and we might need him someday. Besides he called me personally."

"He did? Well I guess it's because she's being snubbed. He is also a friend of my mothers so we have to go even if I dislike her. No matter what he has done, he helped my mother when she needed it the most. It won't kill us to spend some time with them and Sharon well she knows how this whole thing works. When?"

"Two weeks, Sunday at their club."

"Okay I type it in. Oh Luke invited us to the Knicks pre game. He might bring his latest whoever she is. I think her name is Tiffany."

"No way that you do alone. I hate basketball and your brother hates me and the idea of spending a whole afternoon with him and one of his girls, I rather not."

"He doesn't hate you."

"Yes he does. He isn't as discreet as your mother is and he isn't right out rude, but I can tell, you go to the game. Enjoy yourself, I don't even like basketball."

"Okay anything else."

" Yes can you see if Sally can get us tickets for the ballet next month actually no scratch that, let me do it, neither of our secretaries' know where the" it" seats are at Lincoln Center, last year Melanie got me seats in the back, I was so embarrass, ugh, I'll just do it myself. I'm going to get something to drink do you want something?"

"No but I'm not sure if there is anything in the kitchen, I haven't been to the store this add campaign has been a killer. I've been eating takeout for weeks now. "

"Oh I had the place stock for you while you were away this week. I know you've been working hard. I think there's some of those tea crackers in the pantry, I'll make some Earl Grey. "

"Uh Huh" Nathan said as he checked his email. His looked up as Hilary got up from the bed and made her way to the kitchen. Dressed in a long, cream, flowery, silk nightgown, she looked very at home at the moment. Nathan put down his blackberry, and looked around his apartment. He loved his apartment he couldn't believe that she wouldn't live in it with him. The apartment had been a gift from his mother five years earlier when he had finished his master. His mother had offered to decorate it but he had said no. All he needed was a leather couch, a big screen TV, play station and a king size bed and that's exactly what he had. 2300 square feet of space and only the bare necessities. He liked it bare, it relaxed him. Hilary's apartment was filled with antiques, floral, and loads of furniture including a very uncomfortable couch. Everywhere he turn there were little tables filled with knick knacks that she had bought at auction. Porcelain, Limoge boxes. Silver boxes, Waterford crystal vases. He was so uncomfortable there, every time he walked through the living room he was afraid he was going to bump into something, and break one of her precious boxes.

And her bed, that was the worst it was full of throw pillows, tons of pillows all over the bed. A huge lacey comforter that made him itch. That was one of the biggest reasons that he only spent two nights a week at her place. He knew how she felt about his apartment, but he didn't care, he wasn't giving it up, but he also knew she wouldn't give up on moving him out, Hilary wasn't the type of woman to let things go, but he also knew he could buy himself some time, if he looked at different properties, maybe even buy a house a weekend place in Connecticut, where she could keep her horse. He would figure that all out later, after he figured out when they would tie the knot.

He had been introduced to Hilary at a dinner party that had been held in his step father's honor. She had handed him her card right after they had shook hands. They had talked business and at the end of the night she had asked him out to dinner. One date had turned into two, two into three and so on. Before he knew it he was in a full fledge relationship which had been the last thing he wanted, but with Hilary it was different. She was different from all the other women he had dated, she didn't whine about the hours he kept or the fact that he didn't want children. Hilary was a female version of him. She understood him, never gave him a hard time, and best of all didn't mind that he was a workaholic because she was one too. She was accessible when he needed her to be, never complained if he had to cancel a date. Blond hair, blue eyes, and long legs, she was attractive. She had grace, class, and sophistication. She was ambitious, smart, and treated him well. After two years Nathan knew it was time to take the next step, whenever they could find the time. Yes Hilary Collingsworth was the perfect woman to become Mrs. Nathan Scott.

He picked up his Blackberry again and started to read through his emails, most of them were boring and uneventful. He was just about to put his Blackberry way when he noticed an email from his brother. He rolled his eyes, he didn't even have to read it, and he knew what it was about. It was a message asking him to cover for him at the contract signing the next day. Lucas always did stuff like that. He fixed the pillows and sat up. He opened up the file to see what excuse his baby brother had come up with and jolted up from his bed the minute he finished reading the context.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" he screamed. Hilary rushed into the bedroom and watched as Nathan ran around the room grabbing his clothes screaming every obscenity there was in the world.

"Nathan is everything alright?" she asked.

"No everything is not alright, everything is far from alright. I have been working on this fucking deal for months and he wants to change it. Who the fuck does he think he is? What gives him the right to change anything? All the hours I spend putting this all together all the conference calls, all a waste of fucking time. And because all of a sudden he has a revelation, we need to change it. No way, it's not going to happen. I bury him six feet under first."

Nathan grabbed his cell phone and pushed the number 3. He heard the ring tone and then Luke's voice.

"Hello."

"You piece of shit. Where the hell are you?" Nathan asked as he gritted his teeth. He could hear music in the background and he knew that Lucas must be in one of his usual haunts. God forbid that it was a work day, if there was a party, or a club opening Lucas was always there.

"I'm at 23 in Greenwich Village. They had a battle of the bands tonight it was hot. Now I'm just having some cocktails with some friends. Why don't you join us? I'll put you on the VIP list." Luke said.

"Fuck the VIP list! Do I sound like I'm in the mood for the VIP room? I can't believe you're doing this to me. Do you have any idea how long I've worked to put this deal together? The amount of smooching that I had to do, not to mention the late nights. But of course not because you don't even make it into the office till noon. You have no clue what it's like to work a full day because you never have. You have me to pick up the slack. Don't move I'll be right there. Don't you fucking move Lucas or I swear I won't be responsible for my actions. I will hunt you down and when I find you, you'll scream for mercy and I won't be merciful, so stay put."

"Chill out little brother, I'll be here waiting, with a nice big smile on my face."

Nathan slammed the phone down and grabbed his keys from his night stand. He didn't even look at Hilary or say a word as he ran out of the room. All he wanted was to get his hands around Luke's neck and choke the life out of him.

20 minutes later…

Nathan got out of the cab and handed the cabbie a 100 dollar bill and didn't bother to wait for his change. He ignored the crowds of people standing in a line that stretch down the block into the next two. He ignored the well dressed girls that stared at him up and down. He walked straight to the door and up to the bouncer and gave him his name. He checked his list, and after a few seconds, he immediately lifted up the red velvet rope and opened the door for him. The music was blaring and the room was full of people. Women in short skirts were dancing in cages. Everyone was drinking and dancing. Nathan could barely hear himself think but he didn't care. He elbowed his way to the back of the room, passed the dance floor and stage into the VIP area where his brother was sitting in the middle of a booth surrounded by every type of girl that there was dress in their skimpiest outfits. Blondes, brunettes, red heads, tall petite, skinny, chunky they were all there and they were all there for Lucas Scott and he was loving every minute of it.

Despite the fact that they had shared the same womb they were as different as night and day. Nathan was serious, hardworking, and ambitious. Lucas wasn't. Booze, music, and girls that was Lucas's life. He lived for the moment. Not caring about anything but having fun. He partied hard, was well known in the New York social crowds, he was in every gossip column in every newspaper, at least twice a week. Women threw themselves at him. He never had to work for anything, because things just happen naturally for him.. He was the complete opposite of Nathan. He never thought about the consequences, the what if's. It annoyed Nathan but at the same time he envy his carefree spirit, but he would never admit it to his brother.

But the one thing Nathan could never deny was that Luke was good at his job. It didn't matter what time he showed up, when he did magic happen. He could take a an ordinary add campaign and turn it into something that was so amazing that it usually left Nathan with his mouth hanging open. Every photo shoot, every add, every commercial that Lucas did was a hit, and it made the company richer. Lucas was in charge of the artistic and image side of the company and he was good at. And Nathan handled the money, contracts and sales. They made a good team, and they usually agreed on most things. They both knew that the latest line of products that they were launching was not only going to triple the company's worth but it would also put them ahead of all the other companies in the world. They had spent the last two months putting together a campaign and now he wanted to change it, like it was that easy.

Nathan walked up to his brother and yanked him out of his seat by the collar of his shirt, not caring who was watching.

"You son of a bitch." He said in a loud angry voice.

Luke pushed Nathan away and fixed his collar. "Hello to you too little brother. Dam you got strong, when did that happen?"

"That's all you have to say to me?"

"Actually no, did Hilary pick out that shirt cause it does look like her style. Stuffy and old. What color is it? Is it beige, because it looks like beige which is the color she wears all the time. Hey you two match." Lucas answered him sarcastically.

"Luke for god sake stop and be serious for just a second. Say something about your stupid email. We have worked like dogs on this campaign and now you want to change it. What the fuck? We can't just change everything on a whim because you just don't see it anymore. Budgets have been done, contracts have been negotiated, it's not that simple to throw it all away."

Luke walked over to the bar and ordered two beers from Joe, the bartender. He noticed a cute brunette standing at the bar smiling at him. He winked at her and asked Joe to put her drink on his tab. Joe laughed as he handed him two bottles. Luke gave brunette a little wave and walked back to Nathan. He handed him a bottle and sat back down in the booth, next to a red head.

"Ladies this is my little brother Nathan say hello, ignore the scowl, it's permanent, you'll get use to it"

"Hello." The girls all said as they smiled and checked out the other Scott brother.

"Now ladies leave me for a bit I need to talk business. Go get grab a drink and dance. Tell Joe to put it all on my tab. I'll be there in a bit, try not to have too much fun."

The girls groan but they all left the brothers to talk, each pecking Luke on the cheek as they walked off. Luke grabbed his bottle and took a swig.

"Okay first of all I didn't change shit. I worked just as hard as you and maybe even harder trying to find a photographer that fits the budget you gave me. I was sitting in my office giving Gloria my usual list of women I wanted to send flowers too, and mom demanded that I meet her in her office to watch Oprah. I did and at the end of the show she told me she wasn't happy with the campaign."

"She wasn't happy? What? "

"Nathan I'm just the messenger okay chill out and drink. So she told me to change it and that she didn't want Susan. She wasn't right for it and no one was changing her mind and to even try."

"Does she realize that we're literally days from signing her? What the hell? No we're not changing it I don't care. I didn't spend all this time putting this deal together to have her change it. She can't do that, I won't let her." Nathan said as he got up from the table and started pacing.

"Oh baby brother are you going up against mom? Damn you have balls. Oh god I better duck she is going to kick your ass. Oh god you must be high on all that English shit Hil feeds you to actually think about wanting to up against mom. She'll spank you in front of everyone at work. She doesn't care how old we are. She'll give you an ass whooping that you will never forget. Like the one she gave us when we tried to set each other on fire. We couldn't sit for a week. Oh Nate you better think twice before you go against mom. Besides, look Nathan the bottom line is that the campaign is great but Susan O'Grady is not. She's too cold; she doesn't give off any heat. I agree with mom, we need someone who talks to the camera, who is hot, who is it and Susan O'Grady is not and I think you know it too."

"We tested her Luke, she did great."

"Yeah with the over forty crowd. What about everyone else. Illusions is young and fresh. You know that. Besides most men don't like the cold, British type. You do but most men don't. Men want hot, sexy, Latina's like JLO. Now that's hot, too bad she's the competition. Not some stuck up, British, horse lover who doesn't even like basketball."

"Lay off Hilary Luke. She's might be your sister in law soon."

"Oh great that's all I need, for you to make her part of our family. Mom will have to go on Prozac to survive that woman as her daughter in law. Nate you ass, wake up that woman is boring. She is way too proper for you. She doesn't even look like the type to give a blow job. I bet she does it once a week with the lights off. Yep she's defiantly a lights out girl. Look I'm going to give you a bit of advice there are two types of women in this world the lights off women who are cold and hate sex. And then there are the lights on type. Now little brother that's what you need. Picture this you've work hard all day, slaving away with our accountants and lawyers. You tired, you just want to go to bed. You get to your front door and there is this gorgeous blond waiting for you. Naked except for garters and stockings. Her perfect round tits staring at you, waiting for you to suck them. She takes your briefcase and leads you to the couch; she gets on her knee's unzips your pants and proceeds to give you a mind blowing blow job which takes away all the stresses of the day. Do you have any idea how many times I've had that happen to me? Now can you honestly tell me that Hilary does that for you? I think not. Look around Nate, look at all the fine ass women in this room. Pick one anyone you want. I'll hook you up, have some fun Hilary doesn't have to know."

"Luke not everything is about sex, there are other important things besides sex in a relationship?"

"Name one!" Lucas challenged.

"Companionship."

"Get a dog. It'll probably keep you warmer than your girlfriend does. Show your stupid ass more love than the ice queen."

"Okay fuck this can we get back to the campaign. What does mom want and how are we going to change her mind?"

"First of all mom is not going to change her mind. She wants what she wants and plans to get it. Her exact words were I'm still the owner slash president and what I say goes." Lucas answered as he watched the brunette walk over to him and hand him a piece of paper with her number on it. He whispered something in her ear and she started to giggle. She kissed him on the lips and walked away.

Nathan ignored his brother and scratched his head. "What does she want or better yet who does she want, since Susan is so not up to her standards?"

"Two words Haley James."

"Who?"

"Oh god tell Hilary she needs to let you off the leash more. I can't believe you don't know who Grammy award winning, Oscar winner, Haley James is."

"LUKE…"

"Nathan Haley James is the it girl. America's sweetheart, she has been on the cover of People's most beautiful at least 3 times. Everything she does is perfection. She is hot, and mom wants her. Put it this way she is so hot that she defiantly not a lights out type of girl. Little boys steal there mothers Cosmo and hide them when she's on the cover. And she is who mom wants as the face and we have to get her for her or else."

Nathan slammed his fist on the table. "We'll see about that Luke. We'll see. Let me take a look at America's sweetheart and let see if she meets my standards first."
