A DOCK. THE COOL, fresh salty air of the Mediterranean. The four of them were walking down a dock. Heels clanking on steel. Nicole Richie's arm was joined in Mischa's. She was singing a song from Mexico-----"Para bailar la bamba.....Para bailar la bamba se necesita".....and Mischa lifted her face up to the stars, thiking again about her friends: how did she get so lucky?377Please respect copyright.PENANArpow3vwNNb
Mischa spilled Champagne over her dress and threw the glass into the water and found the whole thing funny. She said, "I love you, Nicole," and she kept singing her song and Rihanna and Lindsay were clambering aboard this huge yacht and then the fat American was opening his arm like a host, welcoming us inside.377Please respect copyright.PENANArK7LpL7TtI
Inside, Lindsay had her arms around the neck of the Grand Prix racer Renaud. Rihanna was stroking the beard of Diego the French Tycoon again and whispered to him. "Drinks!" Diego announced and Mischa laughed. She laughed at everything the man did now. But the hair thing aside, he had a commanding, confident presence and he had Rihanna's attention and there was something familiar about him, but Mischa couldn't place it and couldn't imagine they'd ever met.377Please respect copyright.PENANAOaDKK95BF4
Racer Renaud was showing Nicole Richie a large handgun and Mischa did a double take and it should have bothered her, she was thinking, but it didn't and Rihanna said, "I want to shoot it," and Renaud said, "No, no," and Diego said, "It's okay, let her," and Renaud looked at Diego and said "Vraiment?" and Diego said, "Yes, yes," like he was annoyed and Mischa didn't know why Diego was suddenly the boss of Renaud, why a race-car driver would take orders from a toupeed tycoon and Mischa couldn't imagine where the were going to shoot a gun unless they were going to start shooting each other and she started laughing and then Diego said, "You are afraid she'll kill a fish?" and that made her laugh even harder. She had passed being drunk three stop signs back.377Please respect copyright.PENANAbyevd8gOql
They went through two doors and then up some stairs and they were outside. It felt great out there with the breeze and the harbor was dark but the shadowy water beneath them looked beautiful and endless.377Please respect copyright.PENANAvBEV1mN5zw
And then Mischa jumped when the gun went off.377Please respect copyright.PENANAkSMH3msjOi
