Friends Forever Or Not

Twenty-nine-year-old Americus Brandon-Silverheels is the President of BCA Studios. The studio was founded by her grandfather, Ezrah Brandon. When he retired, Americus's father, Osvaldo became the President, and he retired five years ago. Her parents wanted to travel more and spend more time with their three grandchildren. Arizona Americus's mother was a famous actor and model. She retired five years ago also, so she and Osvaldo can travel more. Americus was the Vice President until her father retired. Americus has an older sister named Kathani, who is a famous photographer. She's married to Hamilton Featherington, who is a director and has a two-year-old son named Seeley. Kathani has never been interested in the studio. She was glad that her sister's heart was in it. Because that gave her a chance to follow her dream and not disappoint their parents and grandparents. During the summers, Americus worked in different departments at the studio. Her father and grandfather wanted her to learn everything about every department. On August 22, 2012, she was working as an intern on a movie set. Then she saw the most handsome 6’2” Native American man with brown eyes and long black hair. She said he was beautiful. Tanesha informed her that men weren’t handsome. Americus said that man was and wanted to introduce herself to him. But for some reason, she couldn’t get the nerves to do it. Most guys, when they find out who she is, feel intimidated and find a reason not to see her again. Osvaldo told her the man she marries has to be confident and support her in her career and doesn't feel threatened by her success or wealth. Tanesha wasn't letting this man get away from her friend after seeing the sparkle in Americus's eyes when she looked at him. Keleigh told her not to go overboard and do something to embarrass them. Tanesha asked when overboard. Kaleigh and Americus said it all the time. Later that night, Americus, Kaleigh, Tanesha, and Jewel were in the swimming pool at Americus's house. She couldn't stop talking about Cristiano. She'll be Mrs. Americus Brandon-Silverheels. "If any woman touches him she'll make sure she suffers for the rest of her life. If he slept with her or any other woman, she'd cut his d**k off, then divorce him and take everything from him, even if she doesn't need it." Americus cut her eyes at Jewel when she said that. ***** Cristiano Silverheels, thirty years old, started modeling when he was fourteen. He got his offer to be in his movie in August 2012. He was nervous because he had never acted before but was living his dream. Cristiano always wanted to model, act, and be a director. His family was very supportive, and they enrolled in drama classes. If he had auditions, they always changed their schedule to ensure that one of them was available to take him. He has directed thirty-nine movies and more to go. Tecumseh, his father, owned the largest car dealership in Toronto, Canada. His mother, Rosario, is a marketing director and does all the ads for the car dealership. She was Cristiano's agent until he was eighteen. She felt he was becoming too big of a star for her to handle. That's when Desiree Boutte of Boutte Entertainment Group became his agent. Desiree is also Tanesha's mother. Cristiano has an older brother named Declan. Declan has never thought much about his future and depends on Cristiano to ensure he has a job. Two years ago, Declan was arrested for domestic violence against Daila, his girlfriend of four years. He was found guilty but only received five years of probation. Daila left Los Angeles two days before the trial ended and has never returned. Declan has been searching for her, to avenge the loss of what little career he had. After the verdict, Cristiano refuses to help Declan due to his temper and abusive ways. Declan blames Americus for his brother firing him and not supporting him financially. Cristiano warned his brother if he went anywhere close to his wife he'd kill him. **** August 22, 2012 Cristiano had just finished shooting for the day, he and his assistant Rodolfo were leaving the studio. When someone grabs his belt to keep from falling. He looked down into the most beautiful cocoa eyes he had ever seen. He's mesmerized by the gorgeous young Mestizo lady with long wavy black hair. She jumped up, apologized, and ran off. He stares at her until she's out of sight. Cristiano didn't notice her two friends were running behind her. "What brand of belt is this?" He was still looking in the direction of the young lady who he pledged to be his wife ran off in. Rodolfo glances at the belt. "It's a Balenciaga. Do you want to purchase another one? "No, get rid of all of them, and don't buy this brand again." Cristiano walked out the door and threw the belt to the floor. Rodolfo looks at the belt. "Okay," he mumbles, but he's confused and wonders why Cristiano wouldn't want the belt. Then it came to him that Cristiano wanted his pants to come down for the young lady and he chuckled. Later that night, Cristiano was on the balance of his hotel room. He hasn't been able to get the beautiful woman off his mind. He called Rodolfo to find out who she was and where he could find her. Rodolfo suggested, that since she was at the studio, she was either an extra or a staff member on the movie set. He'll start asking around first thing in the morning. That didn't sit well with Cristiano, and he commanded him to start looking for her tonight. The following morning at the studio, Cristiano couldn't concentrate on his lines because he was looking around for her. An hour later he sees her talking to the director, then the man hugs her. The first thing he thought about was punching the man. Rodolfo informs him if he did that he may be fired and that would make it hard for him to get another acting job. Cristiano noticed she was looking at him while the man was talking to her. "Oh, she's interested in me too." He winked at her and she giggled. The man looks to see who has her attention, then he smiles "Ah, I see why you and your friends were giggling most of the night during dinner." He grabs her hand, pulling her toward Cristiano. Rodolfo begins to panic, believing Cristiano is about to be released from his contract. "Man, you have done it now. The first time you flirt with a woman you managed to piss someone off." "Hell, if I get fired she's worth it." Cristiano stood up, waiting for the man to confront him. The man stops in front of him and pulls Americus in front of him. "Cristiano Silverheels, You seem to have caught Americus interested. What do you have to say about that?" Cristiano looks him in the eyes. "Americus has also caught my interest. Is there a problem?" "Well, then there's only one thing you can do. That is to take my sister-in-law out on a date. Treat her like a princess. If not, my wife would be upset." Hamilton laughed. "I suggest you two leave right now. Production is closed for the day. Enjoy yourselves." That day, during lunch, Cristiano asked her to marry him. Americus accepted, but they had to keep it a secret until her 18th birthday. After lunch, they went to the jewelry store, and he purchased a 24-carat emerald-cut white diamond ring, but he didn't slide it on her finger until that night. Cristiano drove to Long Beach where they boarded the Queen Mary ship for dinner. He had reserved the ship for that evening. After dinner, he organized a fireworks show. After the show, Cristiano got down on both knees and asked Americus to marry him. They were married three years later on the day after Americus graduated from college with a doctor of business administration. Now they are the proud parents of a five-year-old son named Royal and a two-year-old daughter named Casian.
