Thursday
London (UK) Vin.
As soon as the jet touched solid ground, Valentino elbowed Vin with all his might, causing Vin to jump in his seat, awaking startled.
“What the fuck…?” Vin growled, annoyed, and fixed Val with a murderous gaze. Val laughed hard.
“Come on, Sleeping Beauty.” Val teased, grinning. “We’re in London.” He added as he stood, heading to the entrance of the jet.
Vin yawned and stretched his back, cracking his neck. After a moment he stood and followed Val.
When Vin reached his side, he pushed him hard. Valentino grinned and pushed him back. They both started laughing, pretending to be boxing with each other.
Amanda rolled her eyes at their childish behavior. “Oh, shit. And people ask me all the time why I’m not fucking the shit out of both of you all the time.” She said, shaking her head.
They both looked at her and then looked at each other. At once, they nodded and rushed to Amanda.
She yelped in surprise and tried to run away from them. But it was too late for her. She screamed, pretending to be scared, laughing hard.
They pressed their bodies to Amanda, making a sandwich with her, rubbing themselves against her body, tickling her.
“Come on, Mandy.” Vin purred sensually in her ear. “Let’s have a threesome.” He added, grinning wickedly.
“Yeah, babe.” Valentino said almost in a whisper. “You’re never gonna think of a woman after that experience, Amanda.” He added, mimicking Vin’s grin, waggling his brows.
Amanda was trying to catch her breath and her voice was ragged after laughing so hard.
“Oh, please, stop it, please… stop it.” She managed to say between laughs.
They both ignored her pleas and continued with their joke until the three of them lost their balance and fell on the floor, laughing.
Amanda giggled. “Oh my God! I think this is one of the sexual fantasies of millions of women around the world.” She joked as she got to her feet, smoothing her dress.
Vin and Val looked at her and continued laughing. Amanda rolled her eyes, crossing her arms over her chest.
“Ok, kids. Enough fun for the day.” She said, pretending to sound serious, but she was still giggling. “Mr. Diesel, you’re fans are waiting for you, so you better move your nice ass out of this jet right now or I’ll beat the shit out of it.” Amanda teased him.
Vin chuckled at that and got to his feet, smiling broadly. “Be glad that you’re my manager, otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to walk after saying that.” Vin joked, offering his hand to Valentino to help him stand. Val took it and got to his feet.
“Amen, bro.” Val stated, causing that the three to start laughing again.
When they finally left the jet, it was still dawn in London. There were just a few authorized employees of the airport.
Of course, Vin Diesel signed a couple of autographs but Amanda didn’t let them take pictures of him, because he was a complete mess.
They had taken off from the airport in Paris just a few hours ago and Vin had only slept during the flight. Vin Diesel was sexy and hot, but not that sexy and hot.
They went directly to the vehicles and headed toward the hotel. When they arrived, there were three girls waiting for him at the entrance. Vin couldn’t help but chuckle.
How the hell those girls managed to know in advance in which hotel and at what time he would arrive had always been a complete mystery to him, and he always felt the same. A bizarre mix of happiness, concern and fear.
The bodyguards got out the black car at first and slightly pushed the girls to one side, leaving a clear entrance for Vin Diesel to the hotel.
Vin Diesel emerged from the black vehicle and almost immediately the girls rushed to him, squealing and bouncing, causing the bodyguards to tense all at once, protecting the actor.
Vin Diesel asked them to relax and headed directly to the girls. They were laughing and crying at the same time while Vin Diesel was patiently signing personalized autographs for each of them.
He was teasing and flirting with the girls while taking turns to pose with the three of them for their cell phones and digital cameras, hiding his eyes behind sunglasses and his head with a baseball cap.
Suddenly a vision of another three girls doing exactly the same near his house popped in his mind. The only difference was that back then, Luna was watching him with Roman at her side. A big smile spread on his lips.
Valentino got out of the car and grinned wickedly. One of the girls headed toward him and asked Val for his autograph.
Val nodded, smiling broadly, and Vin turned around to give him the pen. It was then when Valentino noticed that Vin was wearing the ring on his right ring finger.
Val’s eyes almost popped out of his head and his mouth hung wide open in surprise.
Before he was able to say anything, Vin lifted a hand and pressed his index finger against his own lips, gesturing Valentino not to say anything.
Valentino nodded in understanding, receiving a wink from Vin.
A long moment later, they were done with the girls and entered the hotel, leaving behind the three girls laughing and crying while staring at their personalized autographs signed by Vin Diesel and Valentino Morales.
According to Vin Diesel’s request, the hotel had reserved the same suite that Vin, Val and their friends had used to celebrate Val’s birthday a few months ago. The same hotel where Vin had seen Luna for the first time. But this time the only other suite on the floor was occupied with a group of Japanese’s executives traveling on business.
As soon as the pair made their way inside of the suite, Valentino rushed to Vin, hugging him tightly, patting his broad back. Vin laughed hard and mimicked him. Then, Val let go of him, grinning.
“Next stop: Madrid, bro.” Val stated, laughing hard. Vin laughed with him and then he stared at the ring on his finger.
“Yeah…..Let’s find that damned woman…” Vin replied, grinning like a loony, staring at the shining star, trapped inside of the black stone.

Thursday
Nice (France) Luna.
M was talking on the phone with her French lawyer. The house in Nice was the only property that had a sentimental value for her, because this house had been the one that her husband gave to her to celebrate their first wedding’s anniversary, when both of them were still in love with each other.
M didn’t want to sell it, but she knew that she wouldn’t come here very often. After a long moment, M hung the phone up, sighing hard.
Luna was walking along a deserted beach. Night had fallen and it was cold, but she wasn’t scared.
Luna heard the voice call her and it seemed as if the more she walked the stronger the voice would sounded. For the first time, Luna was almost sure it was a male voice, but she still couldn’t figure out who it belonged to.
Luna was really tired, her body was screaming in pain, but she managed to ignore her aching muscles and kept walking in the direction to where the voice seemed to be more audible.
M headed towards her. Luna was lying in a hammock beside the swimming pool. She had fallen asleep with her sunglasses covering her eyes.
Very carefully, M moved the sunshade to protect her face from the rays of the sun, and turned around heading back to the house.
The phone rang again and M went to pick it up. This time it was a call from her German lawyer. He told M that they’d have all the official documents for her to sign the following week. M confirmed the appointment with them.
After that, she called an old friend who lived in Berlin and arranged to meet him at the airport. On that occasion, M would fly alone; she knew that Luna was going to be busy facing her fate to come with her the following week.
Luna saw how a bright light suddenly appeared on the horizon. It was so bright that Luna narrowed her eyes slightly. She then fixed her gaze and realized that the light was a star.
Luna… the star called her with a deep and gravelly voice. Her heart skipped a beat as soon as Luna recognized the voice.
Mark… her own voice echoed inside of her brain.
Luna jumped slightly in the hammock and snapped her eyes open. Her heart was racing so fast that for a second Luna thought that she would have a heart attack. Her breath was ragged.
Luna took a deep breath and sat up. She then looked around herself and spotted M staring at her from the top of the stairs that led to the swimming pool area.
Luna narrowed her eyes in suspicion as she rubbed her tiny scar.
“You fell asleep, kid.” M said gently, heading toward her, smiling broadly.
“You would never figure what I dreamt about, M.” Luna said, frowning deeply.
“You wanna bet?” M retorted, grinning.
Luna rolled her eyes, chuckling. “Don’t fuck with me, woman.” She scolded, grinning.
M laughed hard, taking a seat at her side.
“Let’s go dancing tonight. I can’t remember when the last time I danced all night long.” M said standing up, heading back to the house.
Luna frowned deeply and looked after her through narrowed eyes. After a moment she got to her feet and followed M.
Luna and M decided they were going to spend the night, clubbing around Nice and after that they would take the jet, flying directly back to Spain.
