Jennifer Lopez plopped her huge Louis Vuitton tote on the caramel-colored velvet sofa in the penthouse suite of the Hilton hotel in Paris. She turned to her handsome fiancé, Ben Affleck, and smiled.
“Finally, a vacation,” she cooed softly. “A chance for some rest.”
“Finally, a chance to get you alone,” murmured Ben, looping an arm around the beauty’s curvaceous waistline, gazing fiercely into her warm brown eyes.
It was true that these two most wanted stars in the world were high on fame, but low on rest and relaxation. Jen had been riding high on the release of Jersey Girl, then there was her new album, fragrance line, clothing line and sunglass collection. Plus, she was working on a new reality series to up her ante in the industry even more. Not only is Jennifer Lopez beautiful and sexy, but also a brilliant businesswoman. Ben had been busy too, with writing new screenplays and scoping out new roles. His time as a playboy was up, though, as soon as he fell for Jen.
A balmy breeze floated through the chiffon curtains on the balcony. Simultaneously, Jen and Ben glanced below to the lively scene on the street below. Hundreds of reporters headed the crowd, lost in their own excitement of wires, microphones and chaos, knowing that
the
couple of the moment was only a few feet above them. Behind them was a throng of enthusiastic fans, clamoring for a peek of Jen and Ben’s famous PDA.
Ben took Jen’s hand and led her onto the balcony without a word, and pinned her against the wrought iron railing. He bent over her, closed his eyes, and lingered over her lips for a few seconds, and his breath was hot on her lips. Jen emitted a soft giggle, and embraced her mouth around his, holding his head in her hands and pulling him closer as their tongues intertwined in the softest, most delicious kiss.
The sun was bright in the sky, setting in beautiful shades of pink, orange and yellow behind the Eiffel tower. The crowd roared and flashbulbs popped furiously at the passionate display on the balcony. Fans screamed, but not a word was understood. When Jen and Ben finally separated, they held hands and waved to their fans, flashing their bright Hollywood smiles. And in an instant, they were gone.
The couple decided they needed time to unwind before settling in for the night, so Jen suggested a light dinner and a walk by the Seine at dusk. Seldom did the couple ever use their entourage while they were together, so they just left on their own.
