stainless steel and the walls tiled to match the floor. I want it to
flow into the family room so it can be one to enjoy the view of the ocean.
Don’t take that away. Zebra walls are not my thing, man. That’s got to go. And
what’s this shit in the master bathroom? I want all imported tile and a sunken
Jacuzzi.”
    “Not a problem,” assured Ian as he jotted the notes down. “The
other is the landscaping. I think we can do a better job. I assume you want your
privacy in a tasteful way. Right now it’s too gangster looking.”
    “When can you get this done? I’m on tour for eleven months
in Europe. Can it be done by then?”
    “Yeah, I think so. How do I get in touch with you in case something
comes up?” asked Ian. “I mean I know what you want, but in case I run into a
snag, or something I thought would look like, doesn’t gel.”
    “You can still call me” said Jett. He glanced down at his
watch. “Shit! I have to meet with my producer. Listen, come with me while I
check up on Sam and then Toby can take the two of you back to the hotel.”
    “Oh, I completely forgot,” said Ian as he reached into his
pants pocket. “Got a girl for your show. She’s the hostess at the Beverly Hills.”
    Jett took the card, read it and chuckled. “Yeah, she’s my
type. I’ll have my producer give her a call.” Jett looked up at Ian and
laughed. “You really think you know me, don’t you?”
    “Hey, I see what I see,” said Ian nonchalantly. “What did
you do with Sam?”
    “Follow me.” Jett led Ian past the studio and into the
office where Sam sat behind a desk. She was knee deep in papers sorting them
into piles labeling them as to what to do with them. Jett felt pleased because
she had made herself right at home. “Hey.”
    “Ohmigod,” said Sam as she jumped, startled by the
intrusion. “I wasn’t expecting you.” She grinned at Jett and Ian.
    “Just wanted to make sure the paper monster didn’t swallow
you,” joked Jett. “Is it a disaster?”
    “Pretty much,” conceded Sam. “I think my predecessor just
opened letters and threw them into a pile. I haven’t even turned on the laptop.
But I did talk to Marvin, and got things straightened out. We’re going to lunch
tomorrow.”
    “That sums it up, pretty much.” Jett sighed before
continuing on, “We’re on our way out, so why don’t you pack it up for today? I
don’t care what time you start tomorrow, but I won’t get in until late. I’ll
introduce you to the staff so they know who you are.”
    Sam glanced from Jett to Ian who studied her carefully. “What?”
she asked.
    “Nothing.” Ian smiled at her, wishing he didn’t find her so
damn attractive. Her face flushed with excitement and her eyes sparkled.
    “Is it okay if I take the laptop home with me, so I can
study what’s on it?” asked Sam still all business.
    “All work, no play makes a dull evening,” commented Jett
wryly.
    “Really, I don’t mind. I need to get organized, then I’ll
play.” Sam grabbed the laptop and cables and put them in her briefcase. “I‘m
ready.” Both Sam and Ian followed Jett around where he led them into the
kitchen.
     “This is my favorite person in the whole world,” commented
Jett as he hugged a large older woman who swatted him away. “Mattie here is the
best damn cook I've ever had Mattie? This is Sam, my new assistant. And that’s
Ian.”
    “You look like you’ve got more sense than the last one he
had,” commented Mattie as she shook Sam’s hand. “Just holler if you need
anything.” Mattie turned to Ian and looked at him closely. “You’re more
handsome than Jett. No wonder why he doesn’t like you.”
    “Mattie, that’s not true,” said Jett. “Ian and I are good
friends.” Jett put his arm around Ian’s shoulder. “He’s just worried about Sam.”
    “Why are you worried about me?” asked Sam.
    “He’s afraid I’m going to corrupt you,” said Jett
with a laugh as he emphasized the word corrupt with
