superstar: sings for everybody

Billy arrived in his room and saw Avril sleeping. The best thing he could do was let her rest. As he took a breath, he realized the boat had started its engines some time ago, and he could only imagine how beautiful it would be to own a boat and spend a few hours navigating. He walked down the main deck, guitar in hand, looking for a wooden terrace where he could play. The sound of the waves and the breeze surrounded him—it was early, and they would probably be serving breakfast or lunch soon.

His fingers moved intensely, sliding from one note to another. The sound was relaxing to him, and he played all morning until a small bell rang—so lively and sharp, announcing that midday lunch was ready.

The boat was large enough that you could easily get lost in it. There were three decks: the upper deck housed the rooms, the lower deck had everything anyone could want—a small jacuzzi, a pool big enough for a few people, along a beautiful ocean view. Further back, there was a billiard room, ping-pong table, and a celebration hall. The captain's cabin, with its panoramic view of the sea, was also there. The third deck was the widest, with service rooms, kitchens, and maintenance areas.

-Billy, I wasn't expecting to see you.- Alessandra Ambrosio commented, surprisingly without her usual partner.

-Alessandra, here to celebrate my birthday? I wasn't expecting you to come either.- Billy said, greeting her as the woman looked surprised at his words in Portuguese.

-Always so sharp. I'm here to celebrate Adriana's birthday. I almost forgot yours is around this time too.- she replied, dismissively, a tone she often took with Billy's constant antics.

-I guess I deserve that. I forgot to congratulate you... but I thought time didn't pass for you—you look just as stunning as the day I met you.- Billy said with a grin, complimenting the supermodel, who couldn't quite hide the intensity in her gaze. Her green-yellow eyes were piercing, and like Gisele, she was one of those Brazilian Victoria's Secret angels who could melt hearts across the world.

-Still as charming as ever, I see.- Alessandra remarked.

-Thanks. So where's the golden quartet? I haven't seen Gisele or Isabeli Fontana around.- Billy asked.

-They both came, but... they're dealing with their issues.- Alessandra replied, glancing at the guitar. Gisele and Isabeli had both been through rough patches in their relationships—Gisele caught her boyfriend flirting with another model, and Isabeli had broken up with Álvaro Jacomossi two months ago. Hard to believe, but it's true.

-I hope everything works out for them.- Billy said, standing up to head to lunch.

...

Robert Pattinson was completely lost, but somehow, it all seemed relevant to him. From where he sat, he could see the full roster of Victoria's Secret models, with beautiful women walking around the table. He spotted Karolina Kurkova, whom he had recently seen on TV, along with a striking blonde, one of the most stunning women he had ever had the pleasure of seeing. It was like a model runway, vastly different from Avril, who was lounging in black unicorn pajamas, her wet hair still dripping.

-Billy.- Jessica Stam called, her blonde hair and bright eyes catching his attention.

-Jessica, what a pleasure.- Billy responded.

-It's been a while.-

-It has. I've been quite busy these past few months.- Billy said. –A pleasure to meet you all.-

He then took his seat next to Avril and Robert, introducing Robert to the women with a nod, explaining that he was a very promising actor who hoped to break into the film industry in the next few years, potentially landing a few roles. The conversation turned to the challenges of breaking into acting.

-I'm going to make a movie. It's in my head, but I'll produce a film in two or three years.- Billy announced.

Even the punk princess was surprised by this turn of events. She had no idea Billy was planning to make a film.

-What are you planning to do with a movie?- one of Jessica's friends, Gemma Ward, asked skeptically. She was interested in film, and many of the women present had similar ambitions, aiming to combine acting with their modeling careers, earning mid-tier fees of $1 million or so—enough to cover a year's worth of runway work.

Forget sponsorships, mixing a modeling career with acting was a brilliant move.

-Well, it's to promote my music. I want to throw a big party and film an album that I've been thinking about for a long time. It'll be a movie with not much content, just shameless self-promotion.- Billy said, referencing a wildly popular film, Project X, which was a surprising hit with its low budget of $12 million, most of which went into the soundtrack. He could make something similar with $8 million and potentially earn triple or five times the original investment.

-How innovative, to step into that art form.- Gisele commented.

-Well, if you could help me a little, I'd appreciate it. I also think the film industry is very profitable.- Billy replied.

The meal continued with various conversations. Adriana whispered to her prince, but everything was set—the atmosphere was just beginning to warm up. Shortly after, they took a break on the balcony while the women soaked in the bubbling jacuzzi. By 3 p.m., the weather had become slightly harsher, so they moved into the salon and opened their first bottle of champagne. The fourteen women present danced back and forth, kicking off what promised to be five days of nonstop partying.

Robert, who had been drawn into a circle of women, danced among the models, enjoying himself immensely. After a few drinks, the young man was swaying under the dark lights, moving from one side to the other.

Around midnight, most of them were already a bit tipsy, and the games began. Billy's wide eyes caught sight of Avril, kissing Jessica Stam passionately, stirring his thoughts into a whirlwind of emotions.

…

The party officially ended at 2:00 a.m., but some continued until 4:00 a.m. In the space of two hours, Billy moved his tongue with Jessica, from one side to the other, Avril rested on one side asleep, and Billy used his hands to feel all over Jessica's body, Between times, Avril woke up and received kisses, but the alcohol stimulated her blood, the kisses between Jessica passed something else when he slipped his fingers, she let out a sigh, not daring to do more, both continued in a joint embrace.

They both rolled on the bed, they were in a blind fun, muffled by alcohol, which then led them to wake up.
