You gotta believe (Jess)

[Danny D’Abruzzo]

It was only a few days from now and Danny would be throwing a party at his home. He only knew this because his parents would be going away for a night and a day, so he had the house to himself. If he didn't throw a party his friends would mock him, and that was the last thing he wanted. He was always known for throwing awesome parties, and he did it often. His parents didn't care, as long as nothing bad happened while they were away. His father constantly lectured him about it, saying "...if I have to come home because the police arrested someone...", and that was all Danny would listen to for the rest didn't matter. It was all the same lecture, spoken only slightly differently each time, an occasional curse word thrown in every now and again. It was utter bullshit to him.

But Danny wasn't worrying about the party just yet. He knew exactly what to do, and when to do it, so he didn't have anything to worry about. No, it was time to just sit back and relax for a while, even if that was all he did. he didn't have a job, because he didn't need the money. His parents gave him the money he needed when he needed it. Some would say he was spoiled, but Danny would shrug them off. Who cares what those people think, they aren't important.

So Danny did what he always did when he wanted to relax. He went over to Jessica's house. He often wondered why he didn't just move in with her, since he was over there so often. But he knew not to say anything to her, in case she was sensitive about it. He wouldn't get into an argument over something stupid like that. But he did have a key, so he could come by any time he wanted. Just to make sure she was home, though, he sent a text to her telling her he would be over soon.

He made his way quickly over to her place and opened up the door after unlocking it. "Jess?" he spoke, seeing no one in the room. He hadn't bothered to check his messages, to see if she was home.

[Jessica Andrews]

It was hard for Jess to even look at herself in the mirror. All she wanted to do was hide from the world and that's exactly what she did. Well, as much as possible. She obviously still had a job. In fact, she had just finished shooting pictures for the upcoming magazine which always paid more than nicely. As she made her way home, she got a few stares from a bunch of different guys and even some girls. Normally, she would have liked the attention but that was because she knew they recognized her as a Victoria's Secret model. Now, after Tommy had informed her of her recent popular porn site she was on, she wasn't sure whether or not these people had seen her on there or in the Victoria's Secret magazines.

She hadn't even bothered calling Danny ever since that happened a couple of days ago. She was so angry at him. Sure, let's face it, Jessica loved sex and everything having to do with it. She didn't even mind that he filmed them together because she liked being kinky. However, she made him promise that it would be for his entertainment only for when she would have to travel to do a commercial or a photo shoot. She didn't like the fact that her boyfriend jacked off to other girls, which was another reason why taping their sexual acts was okay for her.

But this wasn't okay. She didn't like the fact that everyone could see her on the website. There was even naked and sexy pictures of her posted all over it. This only made her feel less guilty of sleeping with Tommy. She was so angry at Danny, it wasn't even funny. When she got home, she decided to hop in the shower to free her face of all the makeup they piled on her.

She spent longer than usual in the shower and once she stepped out she wrapped herself with a small towel and then checked her phone. She picked it up and read Danny's text message and then before she could even react, she heard his voice. A whole bunch of emotions went through her and she wasn't sure what to do. Should she pretend she wasn't there? No, that wouldn't work since he'd eventually find her. Should she run out and throw something at him? No, she wasn't really a violent person. In fact, she wanted to hear what he had to say about all of this.

She looked at herself in her bathroom mirror and fixed herself for only a second and then walked out to him. She decided to pretend that she didn't know... for now. She had a devilish grin on her face once she saw him. She hadn't even bothered getting dressed. Her body was practically dripping wet and the only thing covering her was the towel. "Hey sexy," she said and went over to give him a kiss on the lips. "Sorry I'm all wet, I just got back from a shoot," she said with a small wrinkle of her nose. She already knew how she was going to break the news to him. But it was too early for it at this second.

[Danny D’Abruzzo]

Danny knew something wasn't right. Her apartment seemed so...uncomfortable. As if something bad had happened...or would happen. Maybe it was because it was darker than normal. There were no lights on and the shades were drawn closed over the windows, so whatever light threatened to expose itself was very little, and dimly lit the room he was in. He closed the door, and the echo rang around the room so quickly you couldn't even register it. It was just silence. He could hear a silent ringing in his ear, from the sound of the door closing to nothing but dead silence. He was about to go check the bedroom when a heard a faint door opening then closing. He turned around to see his girlfriend half naked, and dripping wet in front of him.

Now, Danny wasn't the kind of guy who liked to brag a lot. Well, that wasn't really true, since he did like to brag. But that was only because he had so much to brag about. I mean come on, he had money, he had popularity, and he had the sexiest girlfriend in the world. How could he not brag about that. And the fact that she loved to please him in the most desirable ways didn't help stop the bragging. If asked directly Danny wouldn't lie if he was asked intimate things that happened between him and Jessica. Sure, he would leave a few things out, so he could let some of his friend's imaginations run freely. But he did feel he owed it to them to speak of his sex life with her. I mean, before they dated everyone would fantasize about being with her, and they still did. He thought he was doing a good deed.

Danny smiled as his eyes ran up and down her body quickly, which was surprisingly well covered. It was tight against her body so it showed her curves nicely, but the best parts were not easily seen. He would much rather prefer lingerie on her. He gave her a kiss as she leaned in for one and smiled at her statement. "Don't apologize. I rather like it when you're wet" he said, kissing her again once more. He wondered if this was a sign that she wanted to have sex. She always seemed to be in the mood, even when they were made at each other. Sometimes that made it all the better.

[Jessica Andrews]

Jess smiled at his comment and accepted his kiss, holding onto it longer than the first one. She was planning to torture him a little bit. Maybe get him all hot and bothered, which didn't take much. Jessica knew her way around the male body. She knew exactly what little tricks to do in order to drive them off the wall. She wrapped her arms around the back of his neck and then pulled him closer to her. "I'm glad you came by. Lucky you, I happen to be in the right mood if you know what I mean," she said locking her eyes on his and tilting her head slightly to the side with a sly little grin.

She looked down at his lips and licked her own, then looked back into his eyes. "You know what I like?" she asked and then went to kiss his lips again, leaving a trail of kisses to his neck and then back to his mouth. She deepened the kiss by sliding her tongue past his lips, carefully massaging it with his own. She pulled away only to whisper in his ear, "I want to try something new tonight." When she pulled back she bit her bottom lip and then dropped her towel, causing it to fall to the floor. She headed towards the door and then turned her head and lifted her hand, using her pointer finger in a come hither motion.

She walked out of the room and into the living room, shaking her hips from left to right. She knew he would follow her so instead of turning around, she turned on the computer and typed in the all too familiar site then minimized it so you could only see the desktop. "Have a seat," she said in a seductive tone running her hands on the back of the chair. The chair was facing the computer screen and Jess was standing behind it. "Now watch this," she whispered in his ear and clicked play once she maximized the screen.

She honestly didn't know how he would react. The video which had over a million hits on it already, even though it had only been on the site for a week and a half. She picked up a silk robe that she had left on the couch last night and put it on, closing it. She crossed her arms over her chest and waited to hear his excuse. This should be a good one.

[Danny D’Abruzzo]

As her arms wrapped around his neck to bring him closer, Danny obliged and they were now pressed tightly against each other. He smiled again. "I think i have a pretty good idea on what that means" he said. She seemed to always be in the mood around him, and he was more than happy to participate. She had more of a sexual appetite than most girls he had been with. Sometimes he wondered if he could keep up with her for very long. She seemed so demanding, but whenever the chance arose to sleep with her he didn't pass it up. She then began to kiss him once more, kissing up his neck then back to his mouth, deepening the kiss in the process. Her tongue greedily prodded against his own while he put up his own fight against hers. The kiss stopped, though, when she pulled away and whispered in his ear. By this point Danny was beginning to become skeptical of something. She wanted to try something new? What hadn't they done yet? It seemed that the choices were becoming slimmer and slimmer.

But then she dropped her towel and he was now able to look at her perfect naked body, which he had set eyes on many times before. Instead of protesting he just shrugged the thoughts off and followed her. It was hard to follow her without watching her ass while she was clothed, and now it made it even more difficult. he took his time watching her, until she disappeared around the corner. He continued to follow her, a little more slowly though now that she was out of view. But once he saw her next to the computer he quickened his pace. As she told him to sit he frowned slightly and obliged. "Okay" he said with uncertainty in his voice. This was certainly new. He had never done anything like this with her before, and considering he didn't know what she was going to do it made it even more uncomfortable for him.

As she clicked play on a video he squinted a little to see what was going on. it was dark in the room and the video was even darker so it took a little while to see. But soon he could see what this was. One of their sex videos. He watched it for a little while longer, then clicked the pause button. "I'm not really sure what you're getting at. Why did you put this on the internet?" he asked, looking up at her. He then realized that she had put a robe on. This was obviously not going to lead to sex.

[Jessica Andrews]

Jessica kept a close eye on Danny and carefully watched his expressions. By the way he was squinting and trying to see what was going on, it made it seem like he had never watched it before. Maybe her assumptions were wrong. Maybe she was taking out her anger on the wrong person. No, it had to be him. Who the hell else would have posted it all over the web? Only he had access to the videos and Jessica was sure of that. If she wanted to do porn, she could have easily done it herself. But no, she didn't. She waited for him to say something and then when he clicked pause she prepared herself for what was to come.

...Okay, she definitely wasn't expecting that. Her eyebrows stitched together in utter confusion. "What? Me? Why would I ever do that?" She didn't know if he was trying to play the whole innocent card or if he really didn't do it. "Danny, listen to me. I let you tape us for your eyes only and you know that. I got a friendly little phone call the other day asking me why I would sell myself out like that." She paused for a second, and felt her anger get the best of her. Her anger hapened to be attached to her tear ducts and she hated it. Before she could go on, she bit her bottom lip and took a deep breath making sure no tears fell down from her blue eyes.

"I'm not really looking for a fight but I need you to take it down. Look how many people have watched it! I cant believe you would do something like this to me. Do you know how much this could ruin my career? I honestly can't believe you right now," she shook her head a few time and glared at him. She never really got mad at people or yelled. But she couldn't help it, she was so angry.

[Danny D’Abruzzo]

Danny knew exactly what she was getting at. She was accusing him of course. And he knew she was right in accusing him, even if he didn't do it. He was the only one with the tapes and no one else could have put it up but him...unless it had been stolen. He tried to rack his brain for who might do it, and more than a few names came up. Then he remembered when he saw the video last, before he had just been shown it. He stood up and walked over to her. By the sound of her wavering voice he could tell she would soon be crying. he really hated when she cried, because she had a way of making you hurt the way she did. He never wanted to make her upset, but it happened every so often. He grabbed her chin softly and lifted it so she would be looking at him, instead of the ground like she usually did. "I'm sorry this happened Jess. you know I would never intentionally do something like this. However, I know how this happened and I'll be damned if it isn't taken down within a day" he said.

One day, a few weeks previous Danny had been over at a small party, just a few guys in a basement getting high. To add to the entertainment he had brought over a sex video of him and Jessica together. He had promised he wouldn't show it to anyone, but he just had to. I mean, how could he not flaunt his girlfriend? Well, after they watched it Danny decided he wanted to get even higher and drunker, until he passed out and was promptly taken home. But someone had taken the video and before he realized it was gone it was on the internet. Even if the video was taken down it was on the internet forever, which he wasn't very happy about. But at least the video would be taken down from the main site, which would give her some peace of mind.

"I know you're pissed at me, and I would be too if I were you. you have every right to be and I'm sorry" he said truthfully. He then smiled as he always did, trying to cut the tension. "I have to say, though, you probably have the best sex tape of any celebrity out there. I'd pay big money for it" he said. It was true, if she did get money for it she would sure make a lot of it.

[Jessica Andrews]

Feeling his hand underneath her chin, she slowly looked up into his eyes and listened to his words. She made sure that she talked to him, she would keep an open mind. Although her friends seemed to hate Danny, she did trust him. They just didn't know him like she did. She suddenly felt better when he said that he would make sure it was taken down. She nodded her head a few times and then looked down at the ground again. She just hoped that her family hadn't seen this. It would have killed them and they would have killed her. She was honestly so confused. He said that he knew exactly how this happened, did that mean it wasn't him who posted it online? She was going through a roller coaster of emotions. What was she supposed to do now? She did believe him and figured that it was one of his stupid friends who had posted it. But was she supposed to let him get off the hook this easy?

It was times like these that she needed Marissa's guidence, she was the queen of anger. Though, she hadn't even told Marissa about this. She hadn't even gotten in touch with her or anyone else for that matter ever since Tommy told her about the site. She didn't know what happened to her, she just fell off the face of the planet. It just reminded her of her past and what happened a few years ago with that douche bag of a person. She stopped herself from thinking about it, really not wanting to cry in front of him. When he said he was sorry and smiled, she couldn't help but smile a little herself. His smile was contagious.

She couldn't help but laugh a little at his statement though this entire thing wasn't funny. She shook her head a few times and looked at him. "Good. Pay big money and take it down then," she laughed weakly and then moved around him to close out of the website because she really couldn't look at it any longer. She sighed heavily, "You're lucky your hot. If anyone else pulled this stunt on me, I don't think I would have let them off the hook that easy," she said with a small grin.

[Danny D’Abruzzo]

In all honesty, Danny didn't think it was such a big deal. Sure, he was in the video too but what was the problem. There were plenty of celebrity sex tapes out there that were fake and even the real ones were only exploited for a short while and then forgotten. Imagine if you were an actual porn star. You'd be all over the place and then you'd be labeled for life. You could barely tell it was Jessica, and Danny was sure people would get bored of it after a while. Besides, it would definitely not hurt her reputation with guys, that was for sure. More guys were bound to buy her calenders, which would make her more money. But there was the chance it would hurt her, and that was what she was so worried about. So he promised he would get it taken down and he would. He knew it had to be one of two guys, and he was pretty sure of who it was. The guy was not hard to intimidate, even when he was high, so getting it taken down would be no problem.

When she smiled back slightly Danny got the hint. She wasn't angry with him any longer, which was how it should be. He would never intentionally do anything to hurt her or her reputation, even if it was for his own benefit. He may have a big ego and was, at times, self-centered, but he wasn't that much of a prick. At her last comment he took her into his arms. "You really think I'm hot?" he questioned even though he knew the answer.

[Jessica Andrews]

Hearing Danny's question only made her smile a little more. Marissa always yelled at her for feeding his ego since he clearly didn't need a bigger one, but she couldn't help it. He had every right to be cocky since he was attractive beyond belief. She shrugged her shoulders and tilted her head to the side a bit. "You're not so unfortunate looking," she teased with a little smirk. She realized that if she didn't do something about her hair soon it would be a complete mess. "I'm going to go get dressed. Watch TV, use the computer or watch me you want to," she laughed shortly before giving him a quick peck on the lips and then walked back into her room.

She dried off her body with the towel that was on the floor after taking her silk robe off. She put on her outfit for the day which consisted of skinny jeans, a white laced tanktop and a brown off the shoulder sweater. She quickly did her makeup and then decided to leave her hair in loose curls for the day instead of straightening it. She finished her look with some jewelry and then sprayed her favorite perfume on which was Chance by Chanel.

She gave herself a onceover, making sure that she liked what she saw in her reflection and then finally walked over to wherever Danny was. "So, I'm thinking we can either stay here and I'll make dinner or we can go out to a restaurant. I don't care whichever one, all I know is that I'm starving." She put her hands on her flat stomach and looked at him eagerly. It was weird how all of this worked out. She could have sworn that there would be a huge fight which caused them to break up. Instead it was the opposite. As much as she hated to admit it, she didn't think she'd be able to handle a break up with Danny. They'd been together for so many years now that it was just weird not being around him. This made the whole Tommy situation that much more difficult and she felt that much more guilty.
