Part 10

"Hello LA." Jessy squealed as they stepped from the plane. The girls retrieved their luggage and headed out front looking for their limo for the ride to the Beverly Hilton. "Oh my God that's Merv Griffin." Naomi said pointing as they entered the Hotel to check in. "He owns this right?" Chele asked as she smiled at him. "Hello ladies, welcome to the Beverly HIlton. You'll have to pardon me but you look familiar." he asked Naomi. "Umm I'm flattered. I doubt you know me, Naomi Merchant." she answered. "No I'm pretty good with faces and I have seen yours, recently." Merv said gazing at her. "She's engaged to Isaac Hanson." Jessy shared. "That's it, you're Isaac Hanson's fiance and a pretty good ice skater too." Merv said. "That's me. I'd like to introduce my sisters Chele and Jessy. We're here to shop, shop and shop." Naomi introduced. "Lovely young ladies, all three of you. Captain." Merv said as an employee neared. "Yes sir?" the Captain asked. "Please see that the our guests here get one of the suites and anything else they may need during their stay, my treat." Merv instructed. "Yes sir, I'll see to it." he answered taking the girls' bags. "Please this is too much." Naomi protested. "Dear you are good for business, it's the least I can do. Do you mind posing for a picture for my wall of fame?"he asked. "Of course we'll pose with you." Jessy answered. "Cool." Chele said flirting with him. "My dear you are enchanting." Merv said causing Chele to blush. "Wow she's speechless. I never thought I'd see that." Jessy teaed as the four posed for the hotel photographer who also took a few pictures of the girls. "Remember, anything you want, just ask. Enjoy your stay with us." Merv wished as they were escorted to their suite. Jessy made a mad dash to the phone, dialing Zac. "Answer Zac, answer Zac, answer Zac." she chanted. "Jessy?" Zac answered. "Yep. You do that so well." Jessy replied. "Do what so well." Zac asked. "I was just telling you to answer, and you did. I did it this morning from Sis's place and you answered. Zac we met Merv Griffin and he put us up in one of his suites. Really nice rooms. We had our picture taken with him for his hall of fame. He recognized Naomi. I think he was taken by Chele. Man he couldn't take his eyes off her." Jessy rambled on. "Wow you must be having fun. You're having fun without me Jessy." Zac complained. "Hun don't do this, I had to come and why not have fun, since I have to be here. How's everything there?" Jessy asked. "Major bummer. Isaac is really scared I think." Zac answered. "Scared of what?" Jessy asked. "I think he's afraid of losing her." Zac answered. "Oh that's not going to happen. She loves him too much. I think that's the problem Zac, she loves him so much, that this morning when he yelled at her, you know someone who is suppose to love her, yelling at her, you know like her folks." Jessy explaned. "You mean she thought of Isaac like she thinks of her folks?" Zac asked totally confused. "Maybe his yelling at her reminded her of the past is all I'm trying to say. Zac he isn't going to lose her, there's no way that'll happen unless he wants it to happen. Zac he doesn't want it to happen does he?" Jessy shared. "No way. All he wants is to have her home with him." Zac insisted. "We will be soon enough. Zac, we really haven't talked about what happened yesterday, you know when I raised my hand to you. You really thought I'd hit you didn't you?" Jessy asked. "Yeah Babe, because I deserved it." Zac answered. "Don't say that, noone deserves to be hit in anger. Zac I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have." Jessy apologied. "Talk about I shouldn't haves. Jessy I had no right to kiss you before you wanted to be kissed. I'm sorry babe, can you forgive me. A first kiss should be something so special and I blew that for us. I missed holding your hands, gazing into your eyes, the anticipation. Jessy can you forgive me?" Zac pleaded. "Oh Zac we may not have had that in our first kiss, but it was there in our second, third, fourth. Zac I plan on it being there for the rest of our lives." Jessy explained. "You think so Jessy?" Zac asked to be reassured. "Yes I do. I mean as long as you want it to Zac, it's going to be there. You're the one with the daily example, you tell me. Isn't that it? The two of us wanting the same thing, right?" Jessy shared. "I guess. Man I look at it everyday and never figured it out but you're right Jessy, my folks both want to be in love and they still are." Zac admitted and the two spoke until it was time to go shopping. "Call me later hun?" Jessy asked after explaining it was time to head out shopping. "You can count on it babe. Talk to you later." Zac replied before hanging up. The three showered and changed, "Man you look hot." Jessy squealed as Naomi entered the room. "Duh! I'm engaged to Isaac Hanson. I heard you're marrying his younger brother some day, you sure you want to wear that?" Naomi shared. "I guess you're right. I better change. Hey I heard you totally turned the head of the middle Hanson. Left him speechless, if you can believe that." Jessy shared pointing at Chele. "Where'd you hear that?" Chele asked. "Zac who else. He said Taylor is majorly whacked over what you did, then just dumped him like it was nothing." Jessy shared."I didn't dump him. I didn't have him to dump." Chele insisted. "Not from the sounds of Tay. I heard him in the background asking if you really thought he was a pig. He sounded broken hearted." Jessy shared. "Nah. Really? You think he cares?" Chele asked. "Duh!!" Jessy answered. "Double Duh!!" Naomi inssted as the two rushed to change into something drop dead gorgeous. "Watch World here we come." Naomi squealed as the two returned and they all jumped for joy. "This is so going to be a blast." Jessy declared. "Let's do some Major shopping." Chele insisted. "Let's knock them dead." Naomi suggested and the three made their way to the lobby and were mobbed by reporters. "Is it true, all three of you are Hanson true loves?" one reporter asked. "Where on earth did you get something like that? You call Taylor and he'll set you straight. He is majorly peeved at me." Chele shared shaking her head no. "We heard the oldest is engaged formally and the youngest is planning their honeymoon." another reporter shared as Jessy gasped, first with a look of shock, then terror. "How could they know that?" Jessy whispered. "Too nosy for me, let's go. Captain. Captain." Naomi called out and the girls were whisked away to an awaiting limo. They made their way up Wilshire Boulevard. "Stop please." Jessy called up front, "Totally perfect start wouldn't you say. Please pull into Bridal Images, Inc. We have a wedding to plan." "Great idead Sis. Naomi it is the perfect beginning of our shopping spree. We were planning your wedding before we pulled the dumb pranks that sent us high tailing it out of Dodge." Chele shared. "Out of Dodge. Out of Isaac's bed you mean." Naomi complained before conceding. "You're right, I love him and I'm going to marry him. So let's go find a wedding dress." The limo came to a stop and their chauffer opened the door and the girls found themselves surrounded once again by reporters. "Haven't you gotten enough? Are you going to follow us everywhere?" Naomi asked as camera's flashed. "What are you doing here?" a reported asked. "Duh! I'm marry Isaac Hanson, you know that. This is a Bridal shop. Get the connection?" Naomi answered. "And they say I'm blonde." Jessy teased. "Duh." Chele scoffed as the girls headed in. "Excuse if the press comes in, you've lost a sale." Naomi shared as she entered. "Miss Merchant. I just saw that you were in town. Welcome to Bridal Images. How may we help you?" the owner greeted arranging for security. "I'm sorry. He's okay, he's with us." Naomi informed the security guard who was giving their driver a hard time. "Dave wasn't it? Hey we're about to sit down to tea and cookies, you want to join us? I'd love a mans opinion." Naomi asked. She was soon whisked off to a dressing room and the fashion show began, Naomi hating them all. "They're hmm how do I say this without offending you.. Umm they're too fancy for me. Here see my engagement ring, this is what my finace thinks of me, simple but elegant. That's what I want." Naomi explained. "Dear I'm so sorry. I just assumed the three of you look so, so with it, hot. I just assumed that was your style." the owner explained. "No, we dressed up for the occasion. We're in Beverly Hills." Jessy exclaimed sharing a dress that had caught her eye. "Jessy that's perfect. May I try it on please?" Naomi asked. "Absolutely breath taking." Dave gasped. "It's perfect." Chele agreed. "Dang I got good taste." Jessy teased. "Miss Merchant would you care to see the matching attendant and mother of the bride gowns that go with your choice." the owner asked. "Certainly, meet my Maids Of Honor. You can start with them." Naomi said as she headed to change. While waiting for Chele and Jessy to appear, she finally decided to call home and let them know what was up. "Please don't be Isaac. Please don't be Isaac." Naomi chanted a la Jessy. "Mom!! Just the person I needed. It's me Na..." Naomi started to say as Diana interrupted. "You don't think I know my own daughter's voice." Diana teased. "Mom I found my dress and they're dressing Chele and Jessy right now. I need the girls' size and yours too" Naomi rattled off. "Slow down sweetie. Now you found your dress, wedding I assume?" Diana asked. "Yes Mom it beautiful, actually Dave said it was breath taking." Naomi answered. "Dave?" Diana asked. "Our driver Mom. We're at the Beverly Hilton and we met Merv Griffin and he put us up in this great suite and we have a driver and anything our hearts desire." Naomi started rattling on again. "Sweetie slow down. So you're definitely having a good time. Isaac's awfully worried about you for some reason he won't share." Diana hinted hoping she'd explain. "He is? Probably. It's all my fault. Mom tell him I love him." Naomi asked fighting the tears. "Sweetie are you crying? What's wrong?" Diana asked. As she received no answer, "Naomi are you not feeling well again? That's it isn't it?" Diana asked. "No Mom I'm okay. Honest. Is Isaac there?" she finally asked. "Yes dear listening to every word, trying to figure out what's going on." Diana explained. "Mom is it okay if I send the dresses to you since no one is home at my house?" Naomi asked. "Of course you can dear." Diana answered. "The lady said something about next day delivery, so expect them tomorrow okay." Naomi shared as Diana listed off the girls' and her dress sizes. "Great Mom that will about do it, except can I speak to Isaac." she asked. "Man the girls are on TV, look at them, they're hot. Somebody tape this." Taylor hollered as Zac hit record. "i'm going to go watch. She wants to talk to you son." Diana shared handing him the phone and kissing the top of his head. "Naomi please I'm sorry." Isaac said with such desperation. "It wasn't you fault hun, it was mine and I'm so sorry. It seemed funny when I pulled it on the girls and they just thought pulling it on someone else would redeem them. I've messed everything up. Taylor is mad at Chele and you... Isaac I love you so much, and when you yelled a me. Man I haven't been yelled at since I told my folks I had myself declared an emancipated adult so I could get out of there. Man did they scream. Such a disgrace I was, that's all they could say. They just never got it." Naomi shared getting quieter and quieter. "Babe are you okay?" Isaac asked worried. "I'd be better with your arms around me." she sighed. "Then come home soon, please. I miss you so much." Isaac shared. "I know you do and I miss you. I had no idea how much until I heard your voice. Oh Isaac I didn't tell you..." Naomi said sharing everything that had happened. "So you're a celebrity now huh?" Isaac teased. "I don't like it. Such nosy questions." Naomi shared. "You'll get used to it." Isaac insisted. "Now that's a sad thought. I'll get used to people prying into our life. Gees Isaac they started out with something like 'We heard you three are Hanson's true loves' or something like that. Where do they get their information?" Naomi asked perturbed. "They snoop. You just have to b e careful of what you say in public, everybody is listening." Issac shared. "Oh my God. You guys are beautiful. They're perfect, absolutely perfect. Isaac you should see the girls. Man this trip is turning out to be the best thing, I have my dress, now the girls. At this rate I'll be ready to marry you real soon." Naomi declared. "That's what I like to hear, you marrying me soon." Isaac rejoiced. "Hun I have to go and transfer some money, maybe I'll just put it on a credit card and transfer money later. Hmm Isaac? Hun would you go to the bank for me? In my bedroom, the desk, in the locked drawer whose key is in the nightstand on your side of the bed, in a green box. In the drawer is a signed transfer slip, actually there's a couple of them. Can you take one down to the main branch and transfer ten thousand to my debit card. Hun can you do it now?" Naomi asked. "Green box, my side, ten grand, main branch." Isaac repeated, adding, "I think I got it. Talk to you later babe. I love you more than anything, you know that right?" "And I thank God that you do." Naomi answered returning to the task at hand, dresses for the rest of the girls. "Done. I can't believe this. One stop and I'm done. I'm ready to marry Isaac." Naomi exclaimed paying for and arranging shipment of her purchases. From their the girls hit the Rodeo Drive shops, Gucci, Guess?, Hermes, Chanel, Valentino, Christian Dior, Zegna, Versace, Armani, and Bulgari picking out items for her trouseau. They returned to the hotel with their purchases only to find more reporters with more questions and all sorts of messages at the front desk, most of them reporters. "Oops don't toss this one. Miss Jessy a Master Zac Hanson called about twenty minutes ago, this one says." Naomi called out as Jessy raced out in a towel, "Let me see, let me see." she squealed. "Isn't that cute." Jessy said dialing the phone, "Zac answer, Zac answer." she chanted. "Jessy?" Zac answered. "Yeah hun. You called me. The message is so cute I'm Miss Jessy and you're Master Zac Hanson." Jessy shared. "Love that blue mini skirt you're wearing." Zac shared. "Umm Zac I'm in a towel. Was heading in for a shower when Naomi sorted through and found your message. "Mmm I like the towel better." Zac teased, adding, "You were on TV and you all looked so hot." "Zac they won't leave us alone. You know they asked if it was true, the oldes Hansn is officially engaged and the youngest Hanson is planning his honeymoon. I almost choked when they asked that one." Jessy shared. "Talking about choking, you should have heard Taylor when you guys came on Entertainment Tonight. He is so sure she'll never speak to him again." Zac explained. "This is stupid. Zac that's the same thing she said. I got it!" Jessy squealed explaining she'd call him right back. Jessy quickly dressed and headed to the lobby searching for a specific reporter, "You. Hey you. Yes you. Aren't you the one that my sister told that Taylor was majorly peeved at her and you should call him?" Jessy asked. "Yeah. So what's up?" the reporter asked as Jessy dialed her phone. "Zac answer, Zac answer." Jessy chanted. "Jessy?" Zac answered. "Man you are on a roll. Yeah hun it's me. Is Tay nearby?" Jessy asked and the reporter's eyes got huge with anticipation. "Sure babe. Here he is." Zac explained handing the phone to his brother. "Hey Jessy. What's up?" Taylor asked. "Big Brother if I ask you to do an interview, would you?" Jessy asked. "Jessy." Taylor moaned. "It's just Sis said there was no way we three were Hanson's true loves because you were majorly peeved at her. Please Tay? I know you care and she does too but she is so like stubborn." Jessy pleaded. "Sure Jessy, I'll do it. You're a good sister." Taylor said and then gave an exclusive interview, while Jessy answered a few questions until her phone was returned an she returned to her room. As promised a special delivery of the article was received. "Here you go Sis. I have no idea what he said but here's Taylor's reply to your he's majorly peeved comment." Jessy shared handing her the envelope. Chele read quietly to herself smiling and crying. "For God's sake read aloud." Naomi insisted, "I can't stand it either. Tell me what he said. " Jessy squealed. "I'm not peeved at her. She is so special to me. I hope she really doesn't feel that way, I'd die if I'd hurt her feelings. We were joking around and I got a little carried away is all. I love you Chele, please don't be mad at me." she read the quote, adding, "it goes on about how sincere he sounded. They discussed the upcoming album. When asked what he thought fans reaction would be to all three Hansons falling in love at the same time, "Our true fans will be elated we have finally found the girls of our dreams. Once they meet them they will all know why we love them so. They are so fun loving and bring us such joy and happiness. God can you believe he said that." Chele shared tears running down her face. "Yeah I can. Sis you have to agree there was some major chemistry going on between the two of you before we played the pranks." Jessy shared. "Sis just give him a chance to love you." Naomi suggested, "He did make the first move." Jessy reminded. "Right here it say a special thank you to Zac Hanson's girlfriend. Just thanks Sis." Chele shared as they all headed to bed to call their special Hanson.
