15 Fifteen

Three people walked over to the table. Christa pressed herself closer to Bella to try to avoid attracting any attention, but to no avail, "Heyyy Bella!" Came a blond girl that looked about 19 or 20 she wrapped her arm around Bella's neck, "Who's this cutie?" She asked, looking over at Christa who was now a light shade of pink.

"Hey, hey, hey! Lissa, be careful who you call 'cutie' she's actually my girlfriend." Christa blushed some more, and Bella hugged her. Christa then recognized her as Melissa Soverns, an actress who'd starred in several movies.

Lissa backed up and seated herself in the seat next to Christa, "It really is a shame you know." She pouted and looked at Bella, "She really is quite cute." She patted Christa on the head, and Bella gave her a protective stare.

"Hello Bella! Long time no see!" Said a short man in his mid to late twenties.

"Hey Charles. How're you doing?"

"Pretty well if I do say so myself. Who's this?" He asked curiously.

"This is Christa, she's actually my girlfriend."

"Well good for you! Finally found someone eh? It's about time!" He said with a hearty laugh. The other man who had joined them sat down and looked over disapprovingly.

"Dylan, is there something you want to say?" Asked Bella, annoyed with his attitude.

He brushed his dark hair back, "No, no, it's nothing." He responded sarcastically.

"Well good to hear!" Said Bella, trying to ignore his passive remark.

"Hey I think there's something wrong." Said Christa, only loud enough for Bella to hear.

"Oh don't worry about him, he's just her ex." Christa jumped when she heard Lissa's voice and turned around to see her smiling. Christa was all too familiar with the look on Lissa's face, and she knew at once that she was just like Bella, in regards to flirting.

"Jeez you scared me." Said Christa, still in a hushed voice.

"Aww, I know, but your reaction was priceless!" She grinned, and Christa tried her best to glare at her and move closer to Bella, "Hey c'mon, you don't have to move away from me!"

"Bella?" Said Christa.

"Yes what is it?"

"What's the deal with Dylan?" She looked up at her, concerned.

"Well, he is my ex... he's a big time male model, don't know if you know the name, Dylan Whiteford." Christa thought for a moment before remembering who that was and nodded, "Well, a couple years back we had a shoot together, and we got along really well. He asked me out, I accepted. Turned out that I liked girls, so I broke things off with him."

"So, is he a bit prejudiced?" Asked Christa.

"No, he's just a jealous douche who still thinks we should be together."

"Pfft- never thought I'd hear you say something that ridiculous with a smile on your face."

"Well you know how I am."

"At this point I do." They began to chat with Charles and Lissa some more until the food arrived. There was a three course gourmet meal, served to order. Christa had a tomato bisque, a well seasoned roast duck, and a velvety chocolate cake that made her mouth water. After dinner, they all chatted for a bit longer before Bella decided that it was about time they check out. She walked Christa out to the limo, but as they were leaving, Bella had Lissa take some pictures. It was going to be her duty to spread them around the media, and Christa was nervous, but also excited to see what came next.
