Book Two: The Spot Light Cries For Me

Chapter Ten: Hot Hot Hot

Serena walked through the terminals in the airport trying to find her way to baggage claim, where K said he'd meet her. She fixed the strap on her canvas bag and smiled as she saw the six foot six K waving at her, wearing a pair of black slacks, white button up shirt tucked into his pants and the sleeves rolled up to his ankles and a black ties hanging loose around his neck.

Serena smiled as she realized that this was normal wear for K, along with his long blonde hair. He took Serena's hand and laughed "welcome to LA Serena."

"Thanks…I was sure I was going to get stranded somewhere in this huge airport, but luckily enough I found you!" Serena said.

K looked her over and smiled. "I think you're going to be a bit warm Serena."

She cocked her head to the side. "Why?"

"It may only be fifty in Pennsylvania, but its about seventy-five here. Way to warm for a sweatshirt and jeans." He said as he grabbed her large pink suitcases that he had bought her.

"Oh…well…I can changed later." Serena said shrugging.

He nodded and smirked as he went outside heading for the limo. "Suite yourself."

As soon as Serena was out of the air-conditioned airport she understood what K meant. It wasn't just hot, it was humid. She quickly pulled off her sweatshirt and ran for the limo.

"Oven!"

He laughed at the small blonde "tried to warn you. Just wait till summer!"

Serena set her sweatshirt aside as she put her face right next to the air-conditioning vent. "Wow…its humid…"

K smirked and nodded "Yup! How did your mom take the news?"

Serena blanched. "She literally tried to lock me in my room this morning. Lita had to make her unlock it so I wouldn't miss my flight. She doesn't want me to turn in Lindsey Lohan or Paris Hilton. But I told her that I didn't even like them because of their reputations and told her not to worry. But she's a paranoid freak so she still worries." She shrugged and sat back finally cool. "Can we turn on the radio?"

He nodded "sure thing super star." He hit the on button and played around with the settings until something Serena liked came on.

"So K, what are you in this company?" Serena asked as she reached for the mini-fridge.

"I'm you new manager. Bennet is in charge, and he thinks that I'll be the best thing for you because you are eighteen. Nineteen in April right?"

Serena nodded and opened up the bottle of Pepsi.

"Where will I be staying?"

"In a company penthouse until you want to buy your own place." K said smiling "don't worry Serena. We'll be taking care of you until you can spread your financial wings and fly."

Serena stood through the sunroof, looking at all the sights, never seeing past Pittsburgh and Toledo her entire life. She waved at people as she passed buy dancing to her Cascada CD. She hummed as she shook her butt. Her stomach growling at the site of food restaurants.

She sat back down and looked at K. "Can we eat soon?"

K nodded and smirked "how about In and Out Burger?"

Serena nodded "burgers sound good."

He nodded and had the driver pull through the drive through. K leaned forward and ordered can I get a double, double with cheese and everything on it, a chocolate milkshake and a Coke? And a double, double with cheese, ketchup and mustard, a chocolate shake and a Mr. Pibb and that will be all."

The muffled voice told them their total and the driver pulled around. K paid and grabbed the food and handed Serena hers.

"In and Out Burger. Only here in the west and southwest that I know of. Best damn burgers ever, even if they are really greasy. They're old school to. Only shakes, burgers, sodas and fries. Nothing else. But damn it all, its so good!" K said as he peeled back the paper and took a bite out of his large greasy burger.

Serena nodded and tried it. She looked up at K and smiled "Oh my God! You are so fucking right!"

K sat back eating his food and started telling Serena about the west side of the country…fast food wise.

"We have the normal stuff…you know KFC, Burger King, Taco Bell, McDonald's and Wendy's…but we have stuff that's even better that you guys don't. Del Taco which is like Taco Bell except they also sell burgers and fries, El Polo Loco which is like KFC and In and Out Burger, best fucking burger anywhere!" K ate one of his fries and smiled. "Make you fat real quick too." He shrugged "But I don't care. Lets see, we also used to be the only part of the country that had Cold Stones creamery…but they franchised out East…mm! And in Anaheim here in California we have a Crispy Crème factory that you can go, take a tour and get a free glaze doughnut."

Serena blinked a couple times. "For being so skinny K, you sure so a fucking lot."

"It's a gift." K replied grinning.

Serena laughed and looked out the window and saw the large malls lined with palm trees with Gucci right across the street and felt like she was going to drool. "Shopping…Heaven…"

K shook his head and smiled "typical girl…"
