through with it.  She was afraid once people found out, they would blow her cover.  He told her not to worry about it and that everything would be fine.  He made sure that she knew that if she ever had any problems or questions, to call him and he would help her out.
     
    Billie now had burdens galore, and had no idea what she was about to do or why.  One thing’s for certain…this was the opportunity she had been waiting for and she couldn’t believe it was actually happening.  Mr. Reid had brought her stuff to her from Nashville.  She had it in her apartment, and was about to be moving to Ricky’s estate.  She was waiting for someone to say, “Jokes over!” or for someone to pinch her.
     
    After Billie was settled, Ricky set up a meeting for her with his fan club president.  They had a lot of details to work out before Billie was to understand her responsibilities.  That was when she realized it was not all it was cracked up to be.  It was hard work.  It was worth it for her.  She understood why Ricky had admired Lydia so much.  She had pretty big shoes to fill.
     
    In no time at all, Billie had the hang of it.  It’s like she was born to do it, a natural. Ricky’s first big assignment in a while finally came along.  He was going to have a major role in a western movie.  One other special person to Ricky was also involved in the project, his brother Dennis.  He had been in another movie already with him.  Dennis was hoping to have a speaking part this time.  Billie was thrilled to get to work with both brothers.
     
    She had been so busy learning everything there was to know about Ricky, that she didn’t already know, it was now time for Ricky to get to know some about her.  She helped with the photographers for the film some.  But, she enjoyed helping Ricky with his lines the most.  She helped Dennis rehearse also.  While Ricky was on the set, Billie would hang out with Dennis.  Any time that it felt safe to ask questions about Ricky’s personal life, she made sure to do it.  Dennis answered them to the best of his ability.  He let it slip a few times how he truly felt about Lydia.  She could tell he never approved of her.  In order for Billie to find out more about Ricky’s past relationship with Lydia, she had to swear not to tell anyone.  She gave her solemn promise.  What she heard from Dennis was what she had thought to be true all along.
     
    It was the truth behind their fabricated marriage.  Billie knew that they were not in love, but she could never testify to it.  She looked forward to the day that Ricky would tell her himself.
     
    Billie had a lot of creative ideas for the film, so Ricky suggested that she tell the director.  He agreed and discovered that she had a certain knack for it, and it would be a great idea to give her a small part in the movie.  The best thing about it was she was in a scene with Ricky.  Billie was usually shy and tried to avoid cameras, which was odd since she herself was a photographer.  But, who could refuse this chance?
     
    After they were through filming for the night, Billie and Ricky were talking.  The way the conversation began, Billie was thinking he was going to tell her something personal. What he did tell her was surprising, but not expected.  It was way out in left field.  He told her that he knew of someone that was attracted to her and wanted to ask her out.  Obviously, it wasn’t Ricky, even though that is who she wanted more than anything.  It was his brother, Dennis. Billie was mentally attracted to Dennis, but not physically.  It was not the most important thing to her, but she preferred to date someone with the full package.  She told Ricky she was only interested in being friends with him, and that she wasn’t looking.
     
    A few weeks in to production of the movie, Dennis was still pursuing Billie and trying to get her to notice him.  She was not totally ignoring him, but she refused to get close to him.
