“KYW news time 5:45am” sounded the clock radio. Louise
rolled over and shut it off. “Oh god!” she moaned as she got out of bed and
sauntered to the bathroom. She pushed open the shower curtain, turned on the
hot water and let it run on her face. Then she burst into tears. She hated her
job and it was getting more and more difficult to get out of bed. Louise is a
Human Resource Assistant for a medical billing company. She took the job two
years ago not because she wanted to…because she had to. She’d been “downsized”
in 1997 so she went on temp assignments to keep her head above water and
hopefully find something more fulfilling. It was not to be. She exited the shower and went through her
morning routine. After eating a yogurt she grabbed her keys, brief case and her
Kiss box set and headed out into the cold morning air. Kiss music was the only
thing that kept her sane during her daily commute from hell.
“Oh, Jesus Christ!!” Louise mumbled gritting her teeth.
Louise was putting together the quarterly turnover report for her boss when her
computer gave her another error message. She paged the IT manager. “Honestly,
what does this network run on, a hamster on a wheel!?!?” said Louise in
frustration. “What’s the matter”, Virgil replied. “Virgil, I’m in the middle of
putting together a quarterly report for Mark and I’m getting another error
message!! That’s what’s the matter!!”
“OK, I’ll be there”, he said and hung up. Fortunately she saved what she typed before the glitch. Ten
minutes pass and no Virgil. “F**k it”! Louise said to herself and she rebooted.
This seemed to work and she finished the report.
After what seemed like an eternity, 5pm finally arrived and
it was time to go home. Louise exited the building know as One Bala Plaza into
the cold night air. She threw her brief case into the back seat, got in the
car, and as she exited the parking lot popped in CD#4 of the Kiss box set. As
the first notes of “Lick it Up” played, she felt the tension ease away. As she drove toward home, she knew she had
some soul searching to do.
Louise decided if she was going to change careers she’d
better put her resume out there so she logged onto www.monster.com.
Out of curiosity she began searching ads for the California/Los Angeles
area and came upon an ad for a Human Resources Recruiter for a clothing line in
Beverly Hills. She read the qualifications and it was right up her alley so she
posted her resume. “What have I got to lose? She thought. There’s nothing for
me here.”
After waiting two weeks Louise figured they’ve hired
someone else. Just as she was about to go to lunch, Mike the Airborne delivery
guy showed up. “Hi!” he said. “Hi Mike” she replied. Here’s the usual stuff…but
there’s also something for you!” “Just put it in my bin”, said Louise. “And
thanks. Have a great day”! “You too”, said Mike. Louise looked at the Airborne
envelope and it was indeed addressed to her! From Los Angeles!
Louise gently opened the envelope and took a deep breath.
She carefully pulled out several documents paper clipped together including
correspondence on…Dragon Fly letterhead! Louise sat down and slowly read the
letter. “Oh my god! It’s a job offer!” she said to herself. The salary was triple than what she was
making at her present job!! Also contained in the envelope was a round trip
ticket to Los Angeles and instructions to meet her new employer at Nate ‘n’Al’s
deli/coffee shop 414 N. Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, Ca. It also said a limo
would pick her up at the airport. She put the documents back in the envelope
and placed it on her desk. A big smile came to her face. The first in a long
time. The realization hit her…Louise’s new employer would be none other than
Gene Simmons!!
Part Two:
As she exited the One Bala Plaza, her cell phone rang.
“Louise speaking” she answered. “Have you looked over the job offer”? Replied
the unmistakable voice on the other end.
“Yes, and I accept. I’ll give my notice tomorrow morning”, replied
Louise. “Great! We’ll discuss the rest of the details when you get here next
week”.
“I look forward to it, Mr. Simmons”. There was a slight
pause. “Call me Gene”, he replied. “Very good, I’ll see you next week”, said
Louise then she hung up. She couldn’t wait to inform her boss and start her new
life.
After a week of shopping for a new wardrobe and going
through the motions of leaving her job, Louise was on a plan bound for Los
Angeles. She chose a three-piece black pin stripped pant suite. After almost 5
hours the plan finally landed. Carrying an overnight bag and a laptop computer
she headed for arrivals where, as stated in the letter, a limo was waiting.
Louise’s first responsibility was to staff his Dragon Fly
boutiques in Beverly Hills and New York. After looking through hundreds of
resumes and conducting numerous interviews, Louise hired qualified people to
run his stores, one of them being Hally. She was the HR Recruiter from her old
job and was recommended to manage the store in New York. Hally is young, (age
26), enthusiastic, has excellent management skills and is well versed in
compliance rules and regulations and can handle payroll as well. Louise also
became Gene’s personal assistant accompanying him on book and record store
signings, radio and TV interviews, and various other appearances. Until Louise
secured an apartment in Beverly Hills she stayed at the very posh Beverly Hills
Hotel all paid for by her boss! She still kept her apartment in Pennsylvania
and made enough money to pay her rent for the next six months and let her
brother drive her car to keep it running rather than sitting in the parking
lot. After three months of non-stop activity Louise finally got a break. Before
she left, Gene invited her over his house for dinner and to meet Shannon and
the kids. Gene was very pleased with Louise and over the course of their
working together they became good friends.
Louise arrives at Gene’s at 7pm. Shannon answers the door.
“Come on in! It’s great to meet you! Gene has done nothing but rave about you”!
“Well, I’m flattered”, says Louise. “Now there’s someone I’d like you to meet”,
says Shannon as she leads Louise into the dining room, which is beautiful!
White stonewalls, hanging plants, long walnut table with high back chairs and
bay windows. As I enter, standing next to the fireplace…was Paul Stanley!!
Part Three:
“Paul, this is Louise Jackson”, said Shannon. “Just be
cool”, Louise said in her mind as she reached out to shake Paul’s hand.
“Louise, it’s a pleasure to meet you”, said Paul smiling. Time seemed to stop
as Louise momentarily locked onto his piercing mahogany eyes. “I’ll leave you
two alone to get acquainted”, said Shannon, “while I check on dinner”. “Gene’s told me a lot about you”, said Paul.
“All good I hope”, replied Louise. “Oh yes. He’s very impressed with how organized
and creative you are.” Louise was just about to say something when Gene popped
his head in. “Dinner is served!” he says in a mock French accent. Paul and
Louise look at each other and roll their eyes.
In the midst of a delicious Italian dinner catered by II
Fornaio (“the baker”), Beverly Dr, Louise was offered an additional job
opportunity – besides being Gene’s Assistant, she would do similar work for
Paul Stanley including accompanying both of them if they did promo appearances
together. “You’ll mainly be working for me”, Gene pointed out. “Yes, master”,
Louise replied imitating “Renfield” from “Dracula”. Louise and Gene had become
such good friends that she was able to joke around with him. Paul burst out
laughing! Gene smiled and rolled his eyes…and continued…”but you can work for
Paul as long as it doesn’t interfere with my schedule”. “Sounds good to me!”
said Louise.
“Would you like to go somewhere private where we can talk”?
Asked Paul. “Yes, I’d like that”, replied Louise. They said their goodbyes to
Gene and Shannon and headed to Paul’s home. As they pulled in the driveway, the
first thing she noticed was the cupid-like statues at the front entrance.
The living room was beautifully decorated. Natural hard wood floors, white marble
fireplace with pictures of Evan on the mantle. Pastel colored vases were
strategically placed around the room to give it some color. In the center was a
soft, black leather sofa.
“Make yourself at home. I’ll get us something to drink”,
said Paul. Louise continued to survey the room and notice a wooden staircase
that led down to a den. She noticed some toys at the bottom of the steps. Paul
returned with two wine glasses and a bottle of white wine.
“So tell me about your working relationship with Gene”,
inquired Paul. “Well, I made it clear at our first meeting that our
relationship was strictly business. If he tried anything “funny” I’d rip him a
new a**hole”! Paul burst out laughing! “Good for you”! “Well, one day he put my
theory to the test…” Louise paused. She could see anger developing in Paul’s
eyes. “Oh nothing major. We were posing for publicity shots and he put his hand
a little “too far south”. I was standing to his right. I didn’t want to cause a
scene so before things got out of hand I reached up with my left arm and
applied just the right amount of pressure with my thumb and two fingers on the
back of his arm, at the center, just below his elbow. A friend of mine taught
me this. Anyway, this will render the arm temporarily useless. I call it the
“three finger paralyze. Boy, was he pissed! We had it out…and needles to say he
has a new a**hole!” Paul gently took
Louise’s hand, looked her straight in the eye and said, “If he tries ANYTHING
like that again PLEASE tell me”. “I will, but please don’t tell him I told you.
He’s been fine ever since. I think he got the message and we’ve become good
friend”. “Let’s not talk about Gene anymore”. Paul sipped his wine and
continued. “I’ll be in New York the same week you’ll be in Pennsylvania. I’ll
be talking to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s people about doing the Phantom on Broadway
sometime in the spring. Pennsylvania’s only two hours away so how about if we
get together? “I’d like that very much,” yawned Louise. “Oh! Excuse me! It’s
NOT the company believe me”! Louise said laughing but slightly embarrassed.
She’d been working 24/7 non-stop for the past three months and it was beginning
to catch up with her. “Would you like some tea”? Asked Paul. “That would be
nice”, replied Louise. When Paul returned he found Louise sound asleep on the
sofa. He didn’t have the heart to wake her so he got a blanket, gently covered
her with it, and kissed her on the cheek. “Good night sweetheart. Sweet
dreams”, he whispered.
Louise woke up the next morning with a start. Paul was
sitting on the other end of the sofa reading a newspaper. “Oh god! I’m so
sorry! Why didn’t you wake me up? What time is it”? Said Louise still half
asleep. “Good morning sleepy head. It’s 9:30am. Let me make you some breakfast
then we’ll go to the hotel, get your stuff, and I’ll take you to the airport.
You’re welcomed to take a shower and here’s a toothbrush and some towels”.
“Thank you. You’re so sweet. I’m really sorry I fell asleep”. “Hey no problem.
You needed some sleep. Gene’s been working you way too hard”.
Louise got herself together and came downstairs to eat. She
could smell fresh coffee. He had fresh fruit; toasted croissants, various
pastries, and he even made Louise a vegetable/cheese omelet. “Ohhh, that’s
good”! Louise said as she sipped her coffee. She was finally beginning to wake
up. After breakfast Paul took her to the hotel. She got her stuff and checked
out. Paul then drove her to the airport. Before they parted company, Paul said,
“I’m looking forward to getting to know you”. “Likewise”, said Louise. “I’ll
see you next week then?” “Yes you will!” Louise smiled. “May I kiss you?” asked
Paul.
“Sure”, Louise blushed. Paul soft lips brushed her right
cheek. “See you later”, he whispered. And walked away. Louise just stood there
in a daze. She was snapped back to reality when her flight was announced.
Louise finally landed in Philadelphia and was relieved to
find her brother Bob waiting for her at arrivals. Welcome home, stranger! He
said giving her a hug. He grabbed her bag and they headed for the car. I took
care of your bills as you instructed and put the rest of your mail on the
kitchen table. Great! Thanks so much! Said Louise. Your car runs great! My Ford
is just about to give out on me!
On the drive home they talked about Louise’s newfound
career. Yeah, your little sister’s doing very well! Oh, I have something for
you when we get home, said Louise.
Ah, home sweet home! Said Louise as she put her belongings
down. Well, I guess I’ll be taking off, said Bob. Wait! I have something for
you, said Louise. She handed him an envelope containing a sizable check. She
promised herself that if she ever came into or earned a lot of money she would
take care of her family. Bob was speechless! Please take it and get yourself
out of that flood prone area you live in and into a decent home! And buy the
SUV you’ve always wanted! Louise said with a smile. Tears welled up in Bob’s
eyes and all he could get out was Thank You. You deserve it, said Louise. I’ll
send money to Ralph (Louise’s other brother) later. Louise gave Bob a hug and
said, Now go home so I can get some sleep! I’m exhausted! After he left, Louise
thanked God she could finally help her brothers.
She checked the answering machine there were two messages.
The first from Gene: Hi, it’s Gene. I checked on the boutiques and sales are
doing very well! Give me a call to let me know you got in ok. The second: from Paul!! Hi Louise, it’s
Paul. I’m leaving for New York early this evening so I’ll call you later, ok?
The message was left not long after she left and it was already after 9pm. She
called Gene. Hi! It’s Louise. Oh, good you got home safely, said Gene. Enjoy
your time off! I will! Thanks! Bye. Just as she said bye she heard the
call-waiting beep. Hello? Hi! It’s Paul!!
I see you got home safely. Yeah, my brother met me at the airport. Are
you in New York? Yes, and I’m staying with my folks. When would you like to get
together? Asked Paul. Whenever it’s convenient for you. I have the next three
weeks free, said Louise. Great! I’ll drive down on Friday! I’m looking forward
to it, said Louise. Me too, said Paul. Me too.
Louise couldn’t believe the last three months. She’s
obtained a dream job that pays mega bucks AND she’s met the man of her dreams!
Suddenly she hears the buzzer. Who is it? It’s Paul! Louise’s heart was
pounding as she flew down the steps to open the security door. There he was
dressed in a white shirt, jeans, and sneakers with a baseball cap and
sunglasses. Welcome to my humble abode,
said Louise as they entered. Nice! Very nice! Said Paul. Make yourself at home.
Mi casa, su casa! Louis said laughing. I don’t have any wine, but can I offer
you an ice tea? Yes, thank you! Said Paul. Louise’s heart was still pounding as
she handed him the glass and sat down next to him. Now how about that
conversation we were supposed to have before you dozed off! Said Paul smiling.
Louise blushed, I’m really…before she could say another word Paul put his finger
to her lips…It’s ok. Now, tell me
about yourself….
They chatted all night on numerous topics from their
interests/hobbies, Louise’s being computers, photography and collecting CD’s,
tapes, and vinyl records to their goals and aspirations. Paul was soft spoken,
articulate and very intelligent. It was as if they’d known each other for
years. Every so often Louise couldn’t help but “fall into” those beautiful eyes
of his. Suddenly the conversation stopped. Paul raised his hand and touched her
cheek. She took his hand and kissed his palm. He moved closer to her and softly
kissed as his arms wrapped around her. As they parted, there were no words
necessary. They could see the fire in each other’s eyes. They slowly got up and
headed toward the bedroom…
More later tonight!!
Gene sat in his office looking through some paperwork but
he couldn’t concentrate. He kept thinking about Louise. He was amazed he’d found an assistant who
had the same work ethic as he did. He also kept thinking about “the incident”.
How could he have been so stupid? He deserved the tongue-lashing she gave him.
From then on it’s been strictly professional. However, Gene, despite the fact
that he loved Shannon and the kids, was developing “feelings” for Louise. He loved her green eyes, auburn hair and
curvy body; the way he could make her laugh and the lengths she would go to
make sure everything was “just perfect” for every assignment. As he was lost in
his thoughts, Shannon entered the room. “Hey you”, she said. He turned to look
at her. Despite his feelings for Louise, Shannon was still the most beautiful
woman he’d ever seen. Gene got up, walked over to Shannon and scooped her up in
his arms, kissing her deeply. He carries her to the bedroom and gently lowers
her on the bed. “Take off your clothes”, Shannon says in a low sexy voice.
This, of course, brings that famous Gene Simmons grin to his face and he
quickly removes his clothing. Completely naked, he lies down beside her and
begins running his hands all up and down her body and pleasuring her with his
fingers. The he begins sucking and licking her perfectly round breasts. He
kisses and licks his way down between her legs. “I wanna feel your tongue”,
Shannon moans. Gene gladly obliges and begins to lick her clit and inserts his
tongue in and out of her vagina, which causes her to have one orgasm after
another.
Gene rolls over and Shannon gets on top of him and beings
riding him. While he plays with Shannon breasts, he closes his eyes and
imagines he’s making love to Louise. After a couple of minutes, he rolls
Shannon over and enters her from behind, still wishing it was Louise. Just when
they climaxed together, Gene almost yells out Louise’s name…
Paul, wait, said Louise. What’s wrong? Paul, as attractive as I am to you and as
much as I’d love to make passionate love to you…well, we just met…maybe we
should wait. Paul knew she was right.
Do you have a place to stay? Asked Dottie. Yes I made reservations at the
Media Inn. Paul paused for a moment. Would you like to come to New York with
me? We could tour the city after I’m finished meeting with Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Sounds great! Said Louise. Since I’ve got the next three weeks off, I might as
well enjoy myself! I’ll pick you up tomorrow at Noon then? I’ll be ready!
Louise said.
Until then, sweet dreams my dear, Paul said as he kissed
her hand. Until tomorrow, Louise whispered.
Louise lay in bed that night clutching her pillow, part of
her wanting to kick herself; part of her knowing she did the right thing.
Luckily Gene caught himself and yelled out Shannon’s name
instead. As he fell asleep in Shannon’s arms, he could still see Louise’s face.
He even dreamt about what it would be like to make love to her; to feel the
curve of her body in his hands. He opened his eyes and saw the beautiful woman
lying next to him. Simmons, what are you thinking? You’ve just made love to the
most beautiful woman you’ve ever seen, the mother of your children and you’re
fantasizing about your personal assistant! Oh god, he moaned to himself.
Shannon rolled over. Are you all right?
Yes, I’m fine, said Gene. He held her close to him and kissed her. I
love you, said Gene. I love you too, baby, said Shannon. She began kissing his
torso and touching his manhood which of course led to another round of
passionate love making. Finally, exhausted, they fell asleep in each other’s
arms.
Louise woke up the next day excited she was going to spend
a week with Paul! Thankfully she had shopped for new clothes so she selected a
light blue tank top, a pair of form fitting jeans, and the soft black leather
jacket she purchased while in Beverly Hills.
Between workouts at the gym, changing her diet and the
“baptism by fire” she received when she began working for Gene, she had lost
the weight and was looking good!! He clothes accentuated her curves. Just then the security buzzer sounded. Paul?
She said into the receiver. Hi baby girl! Was Paul’s reply. She buzzed him in and
met him at the door. He was carrying a dozen red roses! For you, my dear! He
said and kissed her on the cheek. Thank you! Louise put the roses down and put
her arms around his waist. I thought about you all night, said Paul. Me too,
said Louise. So are you packed? I’m ready! Louise smiled. She told her brother
she would be away for the week and gave him the extra set of keys to her
apartment plus the extra car key. He had her cell number too just in case he
needed to reach her. Just as they were about to exit, there was a knock on the
door. Who is it? It’s me! Said Bob. I’m so glad you’re here! Paul, this is my
brother Bob. Bob, this is Paul Stanley. Nice to meet, Paul! Said Bob. Here’s
your mail Louise. Oh good, no bills! Just junk mail! Bob looked at Paul and
said, Take care of my baby sister. You can bet on it, replied Paul. Louise
hugged her brother and said she would be back by Saturday. Listen, you’re
welcome to sleep here instead of running back and forth all the time. And yes,
you can bring the dog as long as he doesn’t poop on my carpet! Thanks! Said
Bob. I just may take you up on that! It was nice meeting you, Bob. See you
later this week, said Paul. See you Saturday, Bob! Love ya!
Your brother seems like a nice guy, said Paul as the limo
cruised up I-95. Yes, he is and I’m lucky I can depend on him to look after my
apartment while I’m away, said Louise.
So when do you think you’ll start rehearsals for the
Phantom? Probably late spring, early summer. Louise knew he was thinking about
the other night. Paul? Is something bothering you? Please tell me. Don’t be
afraid. Paul felt some of the tension in his body melt away after she said
that. Louise Jackson…you’ll probably think I’m crazy…but you’ve stolen my
heart. She looked in his eyes and she knew he was telling the truth. Well, it’s
only fair…you stole mine 26 years ago, replied Louise. A smile came to Paul’s
face. Oh, Louise…and he kissed her ever so softly. I missed you last night,
said Paul. All I dreamt about was holding you. Louise reached up and touched
his cheek. I missed you too, Paul. She finally felt like she could open up to
him. I wanted to make love to you last night, said Louise, but…well…I want more
than a one-night stand. Oh, baby girl, no! You’re not a one-night stand.
Besides, I’m too old for that nonsense! Louise had to laugh! Yeah, me too! Both
were relieved they could be honest with one another about their feelings. I
want this to work, said Paul. Oh, Paul…and this time she kissed him
passionately. For the last hour of the ride, Paul held her close. He was
thinking he’d have to introduce her to Evan and his parents soon.
They arrive at the Four Seasons Hotel on East 57th
street NYC! The Phantom would start
rehearsals in four days at the Majestic Theatre, West 44th Street,
Manhattan so this gave them some time to explore the city with Paul as her
guide. She phoned her brother to let him know they made it OK. Louise and Paul
agreed to adjoining rooms. Louise heard Paul’s cell phone ring. Oh hi Gene.
What do you want? Paul answered flatly. Louise’s blood pressure dropped! Oh my
god! She thought. No Gene, I can’t make it. I’m starting rehearsals for the
Phantom of the Opera. There was a momentary pause. We’ll talk about this later.
I have to go. Paul hung up and sat on the bed with his head in his hands. Are
you all right? Asked Louise as she walked over and sat next to him. Louise
looked into his eyes and somehow knew what he was thinking. You need to put
Kiss behind you. Paul nodded in agreement.
I’m very proud of you, said Louise. You’ve shown the world you have the
discipline and talent to be on the Broadway stage. Put Kiss behind you and
pursue your dream. Paul cupped Louise’s
face and softly kissed her lips. Thank you. I needed to hear that. Now, how
about showing me around “the city that never sleeps”! Said Louise. You got it!
I’ll even take you to the Majestic Theater where I’ll be rehearsing.
Paul and Louise stood on the platform surrounding the area
known as Ground Zero. Pictures. Flowers. Teddy bears. Notes from loved ones.
All adorned the walls. It was an overwhelming sight, especially for Paul, a
native New Yorker. As Louise walked around she notice a young man dressed in a
Marine uniform. He was kneeling at a section of the wall and weeping. Louise, very moved herself, quietly walked
over to him, knelt down beside him and touched his arm. He turned to look at
her and she noticed his nametag: Marine Pvt. Viasaty. Hi, was all Louise could
say. The Marine whipped his tears and said, “Now when I’m in a foxhole, I’ll be
thinking of all these people who went through this (February 11, 2002 – People
Magazine)”. Louise hugged him kissed
him on the cheek. God bless you, said Louise. Thank you, replied the Marine and
walked away. Louise went back to Paul
and said, Let’s get out of here. Good idea, said Paul.
They decided on Benihana of Tokyo, East 56th
street for lunch. The food was delicious and they had fun sampling the Japanese
wine as well! Then it was off to the Majestic Theater. Every seat in the had an
excellent view of the stage and the acoustics were perfect. It seats just over
1600 and performances begin sometime early summer. Paul knew he has a lot of
preparation ahead of him. I know you can do it! Said Louise. You got standing
ovations in Toronto, you’ll get standing ovations here! Paul wrapped his arms
around her and pulled her close. Louise gave him a squeeze. I’m really nervous
about this, whispered Paul. This isn’t Toronto. This is New York. They’re much
tougher here. Why, Mr. Stanley! Do I detect a lack of confidence? Louise said
looking up at him. Before he could reply Louise put her finger to his lips and
said, Paul, I KNOW you can do it! I believe in you. Believe in yourself.
Back on the West coast, Gene was wondering why Louise’s
cell phone wasn’t on and all he kept getting was her voicemail. Gene, you
worked her hard for three months, give her a break! said Shannon. She’ll be
back in three weeks. Not only was his assistant currently unavailable but his
partner for almost 30 years was moving on! On top of it, Gene couldn’t shake
his feelings for Louise and he still dreamed about making love to her at night.
But he knew she wanted no parts of him. Strictly business. Gene grabbed his
belongings and headed to the airport. He had a full schedule ahead of him: Book
and Box set signings; an interview with NPR and meetings with various producers
and corporate executives about various projects. One of his stops was New York
to check on the Dragon Fly store in Manhattan. He booked a room at the Four
Seasons Hotel…
As Hally finished up the payroll the phone rang. Dragon Fly,
Manhattan, may I help you? Hello Hally, this is Gene Simmons. How are things?
Just great Mr. Simmons! People really love these clothes! Good! Said Gene. Have
you heard from Louise? Yes, two days
ago, why? Would you happen to know where she is? No, I’m sorry, Mr. Simmons I
don’t. All she told me was she was going back to Pennsylvania to check on
things. Alright, Hally. Thanks for the info. If you hear from her, please tell
her I called, Ok? And I’m staying at the Four Season. Sure thing, Mr. Simmons!
After he hung up, Hally called Louise’s cell and left a message…
After Louise and Paul got back to the hotel Louise checked
her messages. Hey, Louise, it’s Hally! Gene’s in New York and called the store
today wondering if I’d heard from you. He said to tell you he called and he’s
staying at the Four Seasons. Louis hung up and knocked on Paul’s door. Come in.
Well, it looks like your soon-to-be-ex partner has followed us! I just got a
message from Hally. He’s booked a room here! Paul calmly looked up from his
paper. And the problem with that is…?
Paul! He’s my BOSS! That’s the problem! Paul folded his paper, put it on
the side table, and motioned for Louise to come over to him. Louise walked over
and sat on the side of the bed. Louise Jackson, Gene Simmons is your boss.
Period. What you do on your own time is none of his business! Furthermore, I
can safely say he doesn’t care who you’re seeing etc… as long as you do your
job. Louise realized he was right. And after all didn’t Shannon introduce Paul
to her? Move over, said Louise. Paul raised an eyebrow. Excuse me? You heard
me, move that million-dollar butt over! Louise said laughing. Paul scooted over and Louise sat up in bed next to him and put her head
on his shoulder. Paul wrapped his arms around her and kissed her on the cheek.
Louise removed her glasses and placed them on the nightstand. She turned and
gave Paul feather kisses on his lips. The kisses got deeper and finally their
tongues danced in each other’s mouths.
As they parted, Paul looked deep into her green eyes and asked, Do you
want me? Louise touched his face and said, Yes, I want you. You’re sure? Asked
Paul. Louise’s green eyes scanned his face. Oh yes, I want you. Make love to me
she whispered. Paul lifted Louise’s tank top over her head and unlatched her
bra. She slid under the covers and Paul covered her breasts with kisses and
teased her nipples with his tongue and teeth. Paul slipped off her jeans and
underwear. Louise was completely naked before him. He admired her curvy body
and full breasts. He removed his shirt and jeans and laid next to her. Wrapped
in each other’s arms Louise ran her hands down his back and ass, giving it a
squeeze. Paul rolled Louise on her back and began to tease her intimate spot
with his long guitar playing fingers. Do you like that? Oh yessssss! Cried
Louise. Paul teased her a little then laid his beautiful naked body on top of
hers and slowly entered her…
As Gene entered his hotel room he heard moaning sounds. I’m
glad somebody’s having fun! He said to himself. He put down his brief case,
ordered room service, and clicked on the television. Room service finally
arrived. After dinner he thought he would check out some clubs and see if he
could “get some” himself. He went to the front desk to see if there were any
messages and he happened to look down at the guest book. The last two names
caught his eye! Registered: Paul Stanley and Louise Jackson, adjoining suites,
423 and 424. Mr. Simmons, are you all
right? Asked desk clerk. Yes, I’m fine. Any messages for me? None, sir. Well, have a good night. See you
later. Gene walked into the night air and hailed a taxi. Where to? The driver didn’t even look at
him. Club New York, W. 43rd street. As the taxi drove thru the
streets of the city that never sleeps, Gene’s heart was breaking. Had he fallen
in love with Louise?
(NC 17!!)
When Gene arrived at the Club New York it was already
packed and the music was pumping! He was only there a few minutes when a very
statuesque woman, about 5’10”, long brown curly hair, light complexion caught
his eye. She smiled at him as he walked over. “Well hello there beautiful”! He
said with that famous Gene Simmons grin. And what’s your name, gorgeous? My
name’s Lucy, she replied. Lucy couldn’t believe she was talking to Gene
Simmons! She’d been a fan of his for a long time! Lucy was wearing a short
black spaghetti strap dress which flattered her figure. What do you say we get
out of here and go somewhere more private? Asked Gene. Sounds good to me, said
Lucy. Gene hailed a cab back to the Four Seasons Hotel. They had a romantic
dinner and great conversation. Gene was impressed with her. After he paid the check they went to his
hotel room…
Louise and Paul lay in each other’s arms exhausted but
happy after passionate lovemaking. She could hear his heart beating as she laid
her head on his chest. Louise lifted her head and began kissing and licking his
nipples, making him moan. Louise? Yes? She replied looking at him. His eyes
said it all. Louise, I’ve fallen in love with you. Louise’s heart was pounding
as he said those words. I love you too, baby! You’ve had my heart since the
moment I laid eyes on you. Paul’s
manhood was getting erect again so Louise began to pleasure him orally. He was
about to lose control when she stopped. Louise got on her knees and Paul
entered her from behind. As his thrusts became more intense so did her orgasms!
Yeahhhhh!!! C’mon baby!! Shouted Louise. Spank me! Your wish is my command!
Whack!! Oh yessss!! F**k me harder!
Whack! Finally, Paul let our the War Cry….Yeaaaahhhhh!!! They both collapsed on the bed. Seconds
later they both burst out laughing! That was fun! Said Louise, still laughing
so hard she was crying.
Louise Jackson, you’re too much! Said Paul as he took her
in his arms and kissed her. I love you, Paul Stanley. I love you Louise
Jackson.
Lucy and Gene began by pleasuring each other orally (69)
much to Gene’s delight. Then Lucy got on top of Gene and mounted his now rock
hard cock while Gene fondled her ass. In the midst of it all Louise began to
creep into his mind but he quickly pushed all thoughts of her out as he came
inside of Lucy. Would you stay with me tonight? Gene asked Lucy. Lucy was
stunned. Sure! Gene needed Lucy to get his mind off Louise. They snuggled
together in bed watching some old movies. They fell asleep about 3 in the
morning…
Louise rolled over to see Paul lying on his stomach. He
looked so peaceful. She leaned over and kissed him lightly on the cheek. They
only had three more days to enjoy each other’s company before Paul started
rehearsals for the Phantom. She got out of bed and headed toward the bathroom
to shower. What am I going to do for the next two weeks while Paul’s here in
New York? She wondered. I guess I’ll just go back to PA and chill out, maybe
take some day trips. As she began shampooing her hair she heard a voice say,
Want some company? Come in the waters
fine! Louise replied smiling. Paul
stepped into the shower, grabbed the bar of soap, and began washing Louise’s
back. Ohhhhhh…that feels soooo good! Moaned Louise. His hands soon found her
breasts and he started kissing her shoulders and nibbling her earlobes. His
soapy hands found their way down her hips and thighs. Louise could feel his erect manhood against her butt. She rinsed
off her hair and turned to face him. My turn, she said. She took the soap and
lathered up his chest, hips and butt. Then her soapy hands gently stroked his
manhood which made him moan. Ohhhhh baby, don’t stop! You like that? Asked
Louise. Paul responded with a deep kiss as Louise continued stroking him.
Paul’s long guitar fingers found their way between her legs exciting Louise and
making her stroke Paul even faster…
What the hell….Gene said as he woke up with a start. He
thought he heard a familiar “yell” but he wasn’t sure. He looked over and there
was Lucy sleeping soundly. Wake up sleeping beauty! Said Gene as he kissed her
on the cheek. Lucy sleepily opened her eyes. What time is it? She asked. Noon, said Gene. Are you hungry? Yes, I’m
starved! Well, I’ll order us room service but afterwards you’ll have to go. I
have a ton of business to take care of today. Lucy showered and dressed while
he ordered the food. I guess all good things must come to an end, she thought
to herself as she ate her brunch.
As Gene showered it hit him. Of course, Paul and Louise! My
personal assistant is having sex with my business partner. Gene decided that he
should just mind his own business but it was going to be difficult. After all,
Shannon did introduce them. Gene exited the shower and put on a terry cloth
robe. Lucy was about to leave. Lucy? Yes? She replied.
Look, I’ll be free later tonight. Maybe we could take in a
show? Lucy couldn’t believe her ears! I’d love too! Great! By the way, where do
you live? I have an apartment here in Manhattan, said Lucy. Well, here’s cab
fare. Leave your address at the front desk and I’ll have a limo pick you up at
around 7:00pm. Lucy left the hotel walking on air! Was this really happening?
Am I dreaming?
As Gene was dressing for the day he heard a knock on the
door. Who is it? It’s me, came the response. Gene’s heart stopped. He slowly
opened the door and their stood Louise. Can I come in? She asked. Sure, come on
in. Louise walked in and they both sat
down. Hally called me and told me you’d be here. There was a momentary silence.
You know, don’t you? Asked Louise. Yes, I know Paul and you are lovers. Is it a
problem? As long as you keep your personal and professional life separate, it’s
not a problem, replied Gene.
And besides, Shannon introduced you two. Good, said Louise.
And by the way, the stores are doing very well. In fact, you might want to look
into opening one or two more. Well, I’m glad you’re on top of things! Replied
Gene. Well, I’ll let you go. Call me if you need me. Otherwise I’ll see you in
LA in two weeks. Thanks for stopping by, said Gene. He closed the door and let
out a heavy sigh. Yes, I do need you…
Louise walked back to the suite relieved the truth was
known. Paul went to the theatre to pick up his script so Louise thought she
would take the opportunity to clear the air with Gene while Paul was gone.
Louise worked on her laptop for checking email and working on Gene’s schedule
for the next three months. A couple more book/box set signings; but mainly
meetings with producers, writers and corporate executives. As she was finishing
up Paul entered the room excited and energized. That’s great, replied Louise,
still typing on her laptop. Thanks for the enthusiasm…are you ok? Asked Paul.
Louise stopped typing and looked up at him. She took a deep breath and said,
Paul, Gene knows about us. He saw our names on the hotel register. I met with
him earlier this afternoon and he said as long as I kept my personal and
professional life separate, it wasn’t a problem. Paul was silent. Louise
continued. Normally it wouldn’t matter but you are his partner…Are you angry
with me? Asked Louise. Paul grabbed a chair and sat down in front of her. I
guess he had to find out sooner or later, said Paul. What’s the rest of his schedule like? Well, unless he really
needs me, he’s on his own. And don’t worry, he’s already “occupied” if you know
what I mean! Why do you ask? What were you planning on doing after I started
rehearsals? Asked Paul. Well, I was planning on going back to Pennsylvania,
check on my apartment, mail, and maybe take some day trips. Why? Well, we
rehearse for 4 days, then we’re off three, then back for a week. Why don’t I
join you in Pennsylvania in four days? Sounds good to me, Louise said, sitting
in his lap and kissing him on the cheek. Paul wrapped his arms around her and
returned her kiss. Louise licked his earlobe and whispered I want you! They
quickly shed their clothes and were soon wrapped in each other’s arms exploring
each other’s bodies, making passionate love to each other. They knew they’d
each found a soul mate in each other and being apart, even briefly, would be
difficult.
Lucy, my dear, I couldn’t get tickets for any of the
current Broadway shows…completely sold out! However, how would you like to see
The Phantom of the Opera starring Paul Stanley? It opens in 4 weeks. That would
be wonderful! Said Lucy. Lucy couldn’t believe this was happening. She was
waiting for her alarm clock to go off any second and she’d be right back to
normal. Gene made reservations at Arabelle’s on E. 64th St. in
Manhattan. After they got settled in, Gene asked her, So lovely ladies, tell me
more about yourself. Lucy replied, Well, I’m a 22 year old biochemist and have just started a graduate program in
Molecular Biology, studying tropical diseases. Pretty exciting, eh? Said Lucy
laughing. No, not at all! Replied Gene. Finally, an intelligent woman, thought
Gene. Lucy continued. I love singing, dancing, reading, movies, music in
general and computer games. Gene laughed. Oh god, computer games! On one of our
tours back in the 90’s Eric and Bruce drove me nuts with those! I’d be asleep
in back of the bus and I’d hear beepbeepbeep! Well, rest assured I’m not
carrying any on me! Said Lucy! Gene took her hand and kissed it softly. How
about after dinner you and I make some chemistry of our own? I’d like that,
replied Lucy.
MAJOR ICE WARNING!!!!! NO MINORS PLEASE!!!
They no sooner got into the suite and Gene’s hands were all
over Lucy! He picked her up and laid her on the bed. He quickly shed his
clothes and slowly removed the blue velvet strapless dress she was wearing. He
loved the curve of her body and her perfectly formed breasts. He began kissing
her neck….Oh Lucy I need you, he moaned. I’m right here, my demon. He kissed
her neck and worked his way down to here breasts. He licked, sucked and lightly
nibbled on them driving Lucy wild! His hand made it’s way between her legs and
he inserted a finger into her now very wet p***y. Oh yessssss….cried Lucy.
Gene’s head soon found it’s way between her legs. I want something sweet,
moaned Gene. He no sooner got the words out when he dove in and relished her
taste as his long tongue inserted in and out making Lucy’s body shake with each
orgasm. Lucy managed to roll Gene over.
Now it’s my turn! I want some candy! Lucy wrapped her mouth around Gene’s very
erect c**k, licking the shaft, and savoring his taste. She put her hands under
his ass so as to take him in even more which made Gene moan loudly as he could
feel himself about to explode. Lucy relished every ounce of his sweet cream.
Gene returned the favor by f***ing Lucy a total of three times – from behind!
Exhausted, Gene and Lucy lay in each other’s arms, very satisfied. You’re
wonderful, Lucy said Gene as he closed his eyes. You too, said Lucy. I’ll be
heading back to Los Angeles in two days. But I’ll return to New York next
month. Will you wait for me? Lucy kissed him ever so softly…of course I will,
She said. She snuggled up to Gene knowing that this ride was probably going to
end but she was going to enjoy it while it lasted.
It turned out rehearsals for the Phantom were every day,
10-12 hours a day so Paul and Louise saw each other when they could. During the
remainder of Louise’s break she took
day trips and rested because she knew she had another grueling but exciting 3
months ahead working for Gene! Photo shoot at the Playboy Mansion for Gene
Simmons Tongue Magazine, discussions for a Gene Simmons Radio Talk Show, and of
course the Olympics where Paul and Louise got to spend some time together
enjoying Utah. But the most exciting was the private party in Montego Bay,
Jamaica with the Scorpions and Nazareth. Ace was a no show so Tommy Thayer
filled in for him! Paul and Louise were able to spend some romantic moments on
the beach together, enjoying the ocean and warm summer breezes. Paul was glad
to get away from New York for a while and be with Louise.
One Month Later…
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA Starring Paul Stanley read the marquee above the Majestic Theater. The house was
packed! Louise was in Paul’s dressing trying to calm his nerves. The opening
music started. Louise kissed Paul on the cheek. Break a leg, baby, she said.
Paul was magnificent!! And when he came out the place went
crazy! Louise had tears in her eyes as Paul looked in her direction and blew
her a kiss. Louise quickly walked toward the back stage area making her way
through throngs of well wishers and theatre personnel. Finally, she met him in
his dressing room. You did it! I knew you could! Louise said hugging him. Yeah
I did, Paul said relieved. And I’ve only got 49 performances to go! Short run,
eh? Yes, but they may call me back for more. Paul was still wearing the Phantom
makeup and it was amazing how different he was while he was wearing it. It was
as if he transformed. His was hair
slicked back so straight it almost looked like plastic. Well, I guess I need to
remove this, said Paul. Yeah, I’ll leave you alone so you can… Wait, said Paul.
Please stay. Even through the mask she could see the love in his eyes he had
for her. Slowly, methodically the man
she knew and loved appeared. He changed into jeans, a white shirt, and black
jacket. He was exhausted after his first performance so they just ordered room
service back at the Four Seasons hotel. After dinner, Paul was fast asleep.
Poor baby, said Louise quietly as she slid under the covers next to him. Good
night, sweet prince, she said as she kissed him on the cheek.
Gene made good on his promise to Lucy and they attended the
show. He was wonderful! Said Lucy. Yeah, he worked very hard to get the role on
Broadway. Lucy sensed Gene had something on his mind. He did. The Phantom
signaled pretty much the end of Kiss as Gene knew it. Almost 30 years of
rocking and rolling. Over. Are you alright? asked Lucy Yes, I’m fine, replied
Gene snapping back to reality. Lucy took Gene’s hand as they exited the theater
and got into the limo. Gene turned to Lucy. It’s great seeing you again. I missed you.
A few months later…
Paul’s run on Broadway was a huge success. He got rave
reviews in all the New York papers and was even nominated for a Tony
Award. Unfortunately, his relationship
with Louise was starting to cool. Their hectic schedules didn’t allow them much
time to work on their relationship. So they mutually decided to go their
separate ways but agreed to remain friends. It broke Louise’s heart so to mask
the pain she threw herself into her work…
Hey, I got the proofs back from the Playboy shoot, said
Gene as he entered the office. Great, said Louise not looking up from her
computer screen. She was typing a proposal Gene had written up. Well, don’t you
want to see them? Asked Gene. Sure, replied Louise, still not looking up from
the screen. Just put them in my bin. I’ll look at them later. Gene grabbed a
chair, sat down, grabbed the side of Louise’s chair and pulled her away from
the computer. I like people to look at me when I’m talking to them. And I have these proposals to finish!
Shouted Louise as tears streamed down her cheeks. Look, we broke up! So what?
It hasn’t affected my work! No, but it’s affected you, said Gene. Since when do
YOU care about MY personal life! As long as I do my job, what does it
matter? Louise pulled her chair back
and continued typing wiping the tears from her cheeks. Gene got up to leave.
Well, look at the proofs after you’re finished then go home and get some sleep.
It’s been along day. There was a pause. Would you like to have dinner later?
Asked Gene. Louise stopped typing and turned around to look at him. His dark
eyes actually showed some concern. Sure, why not? Great! My place at 7:30.
Shannon will be glad to see you again! OK, it’s a deal. See you at 7:30. Take
it easy, OK? Said Gene. Thanks, said Louise. See you later.
Meanwhile back in New York Paul was in his studio apartment
looking through portfolios of wanna-be-photographers. An ad was placed in the
New York Times for a photographer to do a publicity shoot for the Phantom. He
came to the last one, a portfolio from a Dottie Jones, Philadelphia, PA. She
had done some free lance for various Philadelphia publications such as
Philadelphia Magazine, Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News, and shot various local
Philadelphia celebrities and politicians such as former mayor Ed Rendell,
former Sixers owner now motivational speaker Pat Croce, Pierre Robert of WMMR
93.3FM, mayor John Street and other well know Philadelphia personalities. But
what got Paul’s attention were other photographs, both black and white and
color. Stills and action photos of men and women, various ages, races and even
some nudes. She seemed to bring out something special in each subject. He
decided everyone deserves a chance so he contacted his press agent to get in
touch with her and set up a meeting.
Dottie had just completed a photo shoot with the Channel
Six Action New Team for a proposed billboard to be displayed in I-76 when her
cell phone rang. Dottie Jones speaking. Ms. Jones, this is Richard Sprague.
This is in regards to the ad in the New York Times for the photo shoot for the
Phantom. We received your portfolio and are impressed with your work so we’d
like to set up a meeting. Can you be at the Majestic Theater in Manhattan at 1pm
on Friday? Yes, absolutely! Replied
Dottie. Great! We’ll see you then. Oh by the way, you’ll be photographing Paul
Stanley. Are you familiar with him? Dottie nearly dropped the phone remained
calm while speaking. Yes, he’s the former front man for Kiss, said Dottie.
Good, said Mr. Sprague. See you on Friday.
~beep~. The realization slowly set in. Oh. My. God. Paul
Stanley! Dottie had less than a week to prepare for the shoot.
Louise no sooner got up to the door when it opened and
there stood Gene. Come on in! Take a load off! Louise entered and sat down on
the sofa in the living room. There’s been a slight change in plans. We’ve been
invited to dinner at the Osbournes. As in Ozzy? Said Louise. That’s the one!
Said Gene. I asked them if they minded if we brought a friend along and they
sure no problem! Gene sat down next to her. Look, I normally don’t get involved
in my employee’s personal lives….but the person you broke up with was my former
band mate…Well, what I’m trying to say is…Louise put her hand up to silence.
Gene, I appreciate your concern. I really do. But I’ll be fine. Really. OK?
Yes, I know you will. Louise reached over and gave him a hug. Thanks for caring
she whispered and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Gene looked into her eyes.
You’re welcome. Now, let’s go over to the Osbournes, have a great dinner, not
to mention a few laughs!! OK? Absolutely! Said Louise. By the way, where’s Shannon? She’s filming a
pilot for a show called “My Guide to Being a Rock Star”. It stars Oliver Hudson
as the lead singer of a band called Slipdog. He’s the son of Bill Hudson and
Goldie Hawn, right? Yes, that’s the one! Shannon plays his mother in the first
episode. I hope it’s a success! Said Louise. What network’s airing it? The WB,
said Gene.
Well, their visit was hilarious! Between all the pets
running around, Kelly and Jack fighting, and Ozzy looking like a dazed and
confused mad man, Louise never laughed so hard in her life! Sharon was a
gracious host and gave Louise a tour of the house. She couldn’t believe all the
crucifixes on the walls and the kitchen was the size of her Beverly Hills
apartment!! They return to the living room to find Ozzy shouting, Jack!! Help
me with this f***ing TV!! You have to have a f***ing Ph.D in computers to work
the f***ing thing!!! Dinner’s ready! Yelled Sharon. Oh, thank God! Said Ozzy.
They sat down to a delicious 7 course Chinese dinner. They talked about various
projects they were working on including the Oz Fest scheduled to begin in the
summer. To get Ozzy in shape for touring they hired a personal trainer. Time
flew by and by the time Gene and Louise left it was 1:00 o’clock in the
morning. Gene drove her back to her apartment. Would you like to come in? asked
Louise. As much as he wanted to, he
took a deep breath and said, No, I really should be getting home. OK, well good
night. Wait, said Gene. He leaned over and kissed her softly on the lips. Good
night, Louise. Sweet dreams.
