Episode 2

8:00 pm Editon Hotel, West Hollywood.

The West Hollywood Editon is a luxurious hotel with a signature restaurant, a lobby lounge, an expensive rooftop pool, an extravagant spa and a modern basement night club known as 'Sunset' with a beautiful nightlife scene. Sunset is the hotel's coolest hangout spot and that's definitely why Cici Montreal made reservations for her and her friends. The girls arrive with their outstanding custom-designed cars from the Doheny Drive street entrance. They are greeted by a sleek dark entrance lobby as they make their way down a dimly lit staircase and through a set of double doors into the world of sunset, which has a glistening dance floor that is filled with rotating disco balls that hang from the ceiling and a billiard table. The table they made for reservation was positioned right in the action, surrounding the dance floor. It was a long table that could access eight people decorated with flowers, scented candles, classy champagne glasses and bottles of different kinds of champagne.

Shockingly, as they sit, Natalie White locks eyes with one of the hot guys at the next table. She tries to ignore the situation but the guy can't stop staring. Natalie White is a twin sister to Natasha White, who sat right next to her. They are both Jennifer's closest friends since they all have experience in the fashion industry. The twins own a famous bikini line in Beverly Hills. Besides that, they are known as the most popular actress twins in Hollywood.Natalie is the calm one with sexy brown eyes,chocolate skin tone and a curvy body, while Natasha is wild, loud ,funny and a party freak. Natasha has a pretty much lighter complexion than Natalie and a little bit slimmer than her sister, but they look alike. Jennifer would never stop wondering how two gorgeous twins could be so identical but are totally different opposites.

"The Italian guy at the next table keeps staring at me," says Natalie to all the girls. "He's so hot though, why doesn't he come say hi to us," Natasha responds in an exciting voice. " There is this time I set up Natalie for a blind date on matchmaker but she literally refused to go on that day, then guess what? I had to go and this guy thought I was actually Natalie. We went on adventurous dates switching turns for two weeks but he still couldn't tell the difference between my sister and I. He later found out after meeting the both of us coincidentally at a Fendi store in Beverly Hills and he had to cut us all off, " Natasha narrates. Everyone at the table busted out with laughter.

" You guys are wild, " Cici Montreal says as she giggles. Cici pops up a champagne and pours it up on everyone's glasses. "Guys, let's make a toast to good life, loyalty and friendship," says Cici as she raises her glass towards everyone. Jennifer Stewart smiles at her as she makes a toast. Everyone then sips their champagne.

"You know how much I love you and appreciate our friendship. You've always been there for me through thick and thin. My marriage would have fallen apart if it wasn't for you. Let's make a toast to being the best of friends, " Jennifer Stewart tells Cici Montreal as they toast. Cici smiles sarcastically back at Jennifer, then sips her champagne. As she looks away,she sees the Italian guy coming towards their table and sends a signal to the girls.

He comes straight to Natalie and stands beside her and goes, "Hello, your friend, she's a special one I couldn't take my eyes off her. " He shakes Natalie's hand as he introduces himself, " I'm Matteo Lorenzo from Italy but I live in Los Angeles, can we dance? " Natalie smiles in awe as she agrees to his request. Her eyes sparkled like she'd fallen in love already.It was love at first sight. He holds her hand as she stands, pulls her chair as they both walk to the dancefloor. Jennifer and Natasha were shocked that Natalie stood up to dance with the guy because she is usually laid back, choosy and hard to impress.

Matteo Lorenzo holds Natalie's waist gently as she held his shoulders." They look like a good compatible couple," says Natasha.

Matteo is a tall, masculine Italian with dark brown eyes, a full beard and hair neatly laid back.He is dressed in a black suit with a black pull neck and some sleek black shoes while Natalie is dressed in a red sequin long dress with a touch of shiny diamonds along with black heels.

"You have sexy eyes that draw my attention. Can you tell me about yourself?" Matteo asks Natalie as they gaze into each other's eyes while moving to the weekend 'earned it' music. " Well, I'm Natalie White. I live in Beverly Hills, I'm an actress and I own a popular bikini line called 'snatched' with my twin sister, Natasha White. " She says excitingly as she smiles at Matteo."

" I'm so glad I met you, " Matteo said as he stared at Natalie's full lips. He gently pushes her body closer to his, looks at her in the eyes as he moves his face towards her face. He feels Natalie's warm breath and her amazing vanilla cocoa butter scent."You smell so good," Matteo says as he tilts his face and moves his lips towards Natalie's full gorgeous lips gently, kissing her slowly and deep while they move to 'earned it' music playing in the background. He pecks her on the lips, looks at her in admiration then slips his right hand in his pocket to get one of his business cards and gives it to Natalie as he tells her, "I can't wait to hear from you." He then kisses her on the cheek and holds her hand while they walk back to the table. He pulls her chair, makes sure she sits, then orders more bottles of champagne for Natalie and her friends. He walks back to his table as everyone watches him in awe.

"Oh my God he's so hot," says Natasha. Natalie sips her champagne as she smiles widely showing off her charming dimples. She blushed while everyone at the table noticed. She immediately takes off her phone from her Louis Vuitton burkin' bag, then dials Matteo's number from the business card and texts him 'Natalie'.

Jennifer's phone rings, she checks her phone and Reggie's name appears on the display of her screen. Cici eyes her best friend's phone just to see Reggie calling. She gets so pissed because Reggie hasn't been responding to neither her text messages nor calls. Cici has always been jealous of Jennifer. 'Well, who wouldn't be jealous anyway?' Her perfect family, her perfect partner and career. Meanwhile, Jennifer thinks her best friend is genuine. She shares everything confidential about her marriage with her.

Jennifer picks up her husband's calls, "I'm heading out honey. We have a business meeting with the boys at Frank's place." Frank is Reggie's best friend and his business partner.He is a tall, masculine man with a brown skin tone and an attractive deep voice. He covers everything up for Reggie, he's always an excuse whenever Reggie wants some space to meet different women other than his wife, Jennifer. He does it so well that Jennifer has never found out even a single detail.The truth is, he had a business meeting but also just wanted to catch up with his boy for a few drinks at a night club.

The girls take their last sips of champagne then head home.
