The tour is over. I'm on the plane home with with Hector everyone else. Annette and I are sitting next to each other with a big pile of newspapers and magazines while we chat. The two of us do a lot of reading on the road. I also sleep a lot.

 Since I've been following Prince around, people naturally want to know more about me. There has been few informative articles with the theme of "Who is this woman? Let us tell you" Annette and I are looking at one such article. Of course the writers found out I was called "Minnesota's Mistress of Muscle" and I get called that and the shorter "Mistress of Muscle" Thankfully this article mentions my advertising work (no one wants to be pigeon holed) too.

Annette and I keep chatting, like we usually do. Small talk, nothing really deep or secret. She never acts inappropriate with Prince. It occurs to me that I could like her -if she wasn't so beautiful. Then I feel bad for thinking such a shallow thing.

Prince told everyone in the show yesterday that he has been nominated for an award for his sexy love song and is going to be performing at the ceremony! This is a few months away. He wants me to be his date that night. A red carpet event-something I've been fearing. I love him so I'll go even though I'm scared. As a professional singer, Annette has been to these things before. So I ask her,"Are red carpet events anything to be scared of?"

"I think the first one is. But for me it got easier after that." She assures me. "You just need to look your best and probably say things about how great Prince is. Like you do at parties. You can handle that."

"Penelope, do you realize what has happened? We've gone two months without hearing from Gloria" Prince says. "I think it's a trick."

"Probably" I say,"But the break has been nice."
When we get home Prince decides to take me out someplace really nice for dinner, a favorite place of his. I'm getting dressed. He comes up behind me and puts his hands all over my torso. He whispers,"You are fine" and kisses my cheek. I can't help but notice he's wearing the cuff links I bought him.

We're sitting in the V.I.P section eating with with our bodyguards when Prince notices a man who keeps looking at me. "Do you know him?" he asks.

Embarrassed I whisper,"Yes. That's Lars, the man I lost my virginity to."

Prince puts one arm around me and smiles at me fondly. I whisper in his ear,"Rub it in, why don't you?" We start laughing. I put my hand on his knee. He notices Lars' date when she comes back from the bathroom... Gloria! She makes eye contact and gives a flirty smile at Prince.

Prince looks mad! Gloria must have heard Grace and I on the phone laughing about Lars and hunted him down. It wouldn't be hard to find him, I suppose. How many dental hygienists named Lars are there? "I took her here before. She told me she didn't like it but she knows I do." Prince says. "I don't want to deal with this. I'm sure you don't "

"We could leave. I don't mind" I say. We get up and head out. Must be Lars and Gloria slipped out the side when they saw us get up because they are already outside making out like lovesick teenagers. "Poor Lars, being used like that." I muse.

Prince walks over to the couple. "I thought you didn't like it here? So why are you spending your Daddy's money entertaining Penelope's ex?" He sneers.

Gloria says,"Oh? Lars used to date Penelope? He's my dental hygienist and I took a liking to him. Anyway I like this place more since they got a new cook. You know something? I thought you were still on tour. You just can't stand that I've gotten over you. You want every woman you dated to be brokenhearted forever."

"BULLSHIT!" He screams. It's obvious she is trying to annoy us. We're not stupid. We know she wants to make him jealous.

"DON'T TALK TO MY DATE LIKE THAT! "yells Lars. Prince's bodyguard holds Lars back.

Prince speaks to Gloria sternly,"I want you to leave us alone. I loved you once, but I don't anymore. The best thing you can do is find someone else to love and actually use that Ivy League diploma you're so damn proud of to find a job. I doubt you've ever earned a dollar in your life."

Gloria looks annoyed."I've had paid internships at businesses!"

"Who owns them?"

"My father. But he's grooming me to take over one day!" She starts crying. "That's the main problem we had. You couldn't stand my privileged background! I'll say one thing for you, at least you're earning enough to keep Penelope well feed."

Well feed? That hurts. I'm going to kill this bitch! Before anyone can say anything, I shove her up against the building. This whore weighs about nothing. Hector pulls me off of her and says,"She's not worth it."

Gloria is sitting on the ground still crying. Lars is trying to comfort her. Finally Lars says something to me,"When did you become so aggressive?"

I flippantly reply,"Wouldn't you like to know?" Prince, the bodyguards and I all leave.

As he starts his car Prince says,"I can't believe you did that. Her family is influential. I hope you don't lose clients. "

"Right now I don't care. Shoving her was worth it even if I have to go back to being a janitor."

"You're not going to do have to do that again. I'll see to that". I'll see to that? Must be he knows people who I can photograph.

"You don't have to worry about me. I know a lot of bodybuilders,boxers, cage fighters..." I laugh, referencing some of my most recent work.

He interrupts me,"I don't care who you know, I'm going to worry about you." We arrive home . We hug and kiss and he says "I love you. I'm going to the studio now. Goodnight."

I whisper in his ear,"I love you more than you'll ever know" That puts a big smile on his face. I go to bed. I'm feeling lazy and just crawl under the covers in my panties. I fall asleep. In the middle of the night I'm woken up by Prince getting into bed. "Did you really not like that her family has money?" I ask softy.

He sighs. "I don't like what they do with it. She took me to meet her parents. Her Daddy took an instant dislike to me because I said some things that he didn't find amusing. I got the feeling her parents were together for reasons other than love. A couple days later Daddy sent her a smaller monthly 'stipend' than usual. He also sent a will that she wasn't in. She was very upset. A couple weeks later she was all smiles because Daddy sent a new will that she was in even though the inheritance was less and she was all,'I'm in the will again! Mother must have softened Father up! Now I don't have to worry about having to break up with you!' That pissed me off. Then we had our fight and I left. I wasn't going to be with a grown woman who can be controlled by her Daddy like that"

"I"m sorry someone would act that way and say such things to you. I'd rather have you over an inheritance. I can get my own money"

"That's nice of you to say. But this was a big inheritance."

"Still, I'd prefer you. You can always earn your own way, but how often are you going to be in love?" I say before he falls asleep on my breasts.

The next day it's back to business as usual. We're having breakfast. "I can't believe she called me 'well feed' last night. I'm probably not going to be as skinny as her, but I'm doing pretty good for me. I don't know why, but it is a little easier to keep my weight down around here." I say.

Prince laughs," You get more exercise here than you did back at your apartment. That's why, Sexy."

I start laughing. "You do work my body hard."

"Harder than you probably did masturbating to Grace's sex sounds."

"I never did that! Most of those noises scared me! I didn't want to know what was going on in there.But sometimes she tells me." I go to the kitchen cupboards looking for something to throw together for lunch.

"Don't bother. I'll have my assistant bring you something. You're busy enough today." He kisses me.

"Thank you. Before I go, I want to let you know something: I'm going to hire Jasper twice a week to help me get everything right and tight for the awards show. "

I want to look great and I'm sure he wants me to, but I expected him to hit the roof over that. He simply says,"You know best." Wow! No jokes about my 'boyfriend'?

Not only do I have a busy day at the studio, my receptionist called in sick. I'm going to be taking photos all day and trying to answer the phone. Hector is coming with me but I know I can't have him answer the phone in my office while I take photos because how would he protect me from wealthy psychopaths if he is in my office? 

I spend my day taking pictures and occasionally excusing myself to answer the phone.Hector assists me by doing things like adjusting lights. I don't tell my clients he's a bodyguard. Between a couple clients I show Hector Grace's photo and tell him that she's my dear friend. "She's very pretty,"Hector says.

"You'll probably meet her soon. She's great. Strong,smart, loyal and kind. But you wouldn't want to be on her bad side and she's a little bawdy" I laugh.

Hector smiles "She sounds like fun. I'm looking forward to meeting her" .

Finally it's lunchtime and my food is brought over. There's enough food for two people. Prince slips in through a side door to join me. We kiss each other and go into my office to sit down at the table. I've just put a forkful of food into my mouth when the phone rings. Crap. Prince picks up the phone and answers it very professionally, using a fake name for himself. He writes down the appointment in my appointment book. He hangs up the phone and starts laughing.

" Thank you. But what is so funny?" I ask.

He smiles,"They had no idea who they were talking to." 

I hear my next clients come in - and the phone rings again. "Go, I'll answer it." He insists.

I take the photos, say goodbye to the client and go back to my office. Prince is on the phone with yet another caller. When he gets off the phone he smiles cheerfully and says,"Hello, Boss."

Okay. I guess I can play that game. "I'm just checking on my sexy receptionist." I say coquettishly

"I'm fine"

"You certainly are." I wink at him on my way out to greet the next client.

Prince hangs around for my office for the next couple hours. Finally it's quitting time for me. I go into my office, He hands me a piece of paper with song lyrics written on it.

"Ooh, I like this!" I exclaim. I kiss him long , softy and slip him a little tongue.

When I pull away he gives me a come hither look and says,"What kind of nasty boss are you?"

I just start laughing. Yes, no one kills a mood like me. I pull myself together, put my arm around him and whisper,"Take your clothes off. Let me show you.."

He gets undressed. I strip down to a red lace camisole and panties.I take off my panties. He goes to help me with the camisole. Suddenly we hear a loud RIP! Apparently he forgot to remove the ring he was wearing and it caught in the camisole. We just laugh "Better finish what I started." he whispers. The camisole has got a big hole in it so he rips it right off my body with his hands. No one has ever literally torn anything off my body before. We get down onto my wide, long, upholstered bench. He's on top of me, kissing me savagely all over. My hands explore his perfect body. He enters me and moves in just the right way to give me a orgasm. I arch my back and scream. I cannot believe I'm having sex in my office! "That's the only the first one" he says with a smirk.

He grinds upon me harder. There's the second orgasm.Then I start screaming" I'M YOUR'S YOU SEXY BEAST!" He smiles as I release and collapse, out of breath, back onto the bench.

He kisses me sweetly before getting up. "I love you." he says, "let's get dressed and go home"

"I love you too. I'll come home later though. I have to clean things up around here. I'm the janitor here."

"Okay Sweetie."He leaves and I go to cleaning the bathroom, after I dress, of course.

I come home and find Jasper standing outside a closed office door! Not only is this weird, but Jasper is wearing a suit! And it fits like a suit should and not like his normal tight shirts. He also has on an emerald green necktie that matches his eyes. Damn, he looks good. Shame he doesn't have a girlfriend. I wonder why he is carrying a briefcase...
