I didn't realize part of a bodyguard's job description included babysitting. And for no really good reason. Good thing Mel walked in on Lindsay's conversation with Deb and heard it from Lindsay's mouth about the affair. With. A. Man.  Otherwise, I have to wonder how forthcoming Lindsay would have been. It would serve her lying, cheating ass if Mel asked her to leave for a while. And yes, this situation could prove troublesome for Gus.

It's so refreshing when Deb doesn't fall for Michael's bullshit, instead of standing up for him and condoning everything he does. Although I enjoy stories like that, like I said, this is refreshing. Apologize for giving birth to him? You Go Deb!

My-oh-my, but Collier has bit off more than he can chew. First he's got the idiot running around, and telling the Peterson's he's Brian's best friend, is not going to make brownie points with Brian if that tidbit of information gets back to him Then Collier staging his accidental meeting with the Peterson's, might blow up in his face when Mommy Maria comes to Pittsburgh, if Jennifer should decide to have a little chat with her when Maria gets to town.

Good update. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Great chapter.  Love this story.

Well Melanie knows about the affair where they from here is their choice just so long as Gus isn't hurt all will be good.

Maria Hartline is coming to town maybe she would like a front row seat to her son's behavior so they can stop pretending it is just a crush that went a little too far <eye roll>

Nancy and Lynette want all the notables at this wedding perhaps they should be careful what they wish for?

Collier turned Michael into a low rate Justin who still can't get any respect, it will take more than just dropping Brian's name for people to look at him, as for the ugly Justin clone look Collier is really off his rocker if he thinks Michael will be able to pull that off.

Deb meeting Justin's family went very well they will probably have a lot of fun getting to know one another. :)

I can't wait to see how the Peterson will try to sneak into Justin's family.

Michael as a blond; that must be something nobody can forget! I bet Collier will have a nervous breakdown when he will try to get Michael to behave like a WASP. Hopefully he will be too difficult and he will have to find another accomplice.

I think Vangard Music is going to be out-of-business before too long, and Vance is gonna see the results of trying to shut Ted out. Serves him right for sticking up for that fucktard nephew of his.

Lord I would love to be a fly on the wall when Mel gets home to talk to Lindsay. I have to wonder how forthcoming she will be. If she knows what's good for her, she will tell her EVERYTHING, and then she better have a really good excuse ready why she didn't give everyone a head's up.  And Nancy's try at sensationalism is going to blow up in her face. I want front row seats to that event too.

And dear lord. the cast of Dumb and Dumber just changed from Jim and Jeff to Michael and Collier. Those two imbecilic children, are going to get their asses handed to them when they try to show up at the country club. There is no way Collier will be able to change Michael's idiotic ways of eating. First, he will have problems learning how to hold a fork, as he's held his fork that way since he learned how to eat (Old habits die hard) and second, can he really learn to swallow before speaking? What's the old adage? A leopard can't change it's spots? Besides all that, Michael is the type of person who opens mouth and inserts foot. And Collier sounds like a real psychopath when it comes to attaching himself onto another person. He's definitely ready for the loony bin. 

I cannot in my wildest imagination picture Michael being able to carry off the blond, cargo-wearing twink that is Justin. Doesn't the Peterson's know who he is? On second thought, they probably never bothered getting to know someone so beneath them. But what happens when Lindsay has to show up for one of these events, and Michael is there imposing as a blonde?

Loving this story, and looking forward to your next chapter.

Lindsay should just confess and accept the consequences cause she is already in enough trouble.

The Petersons are about to learn how True Wasps Sting cause Taylors and Taylor-Kinneys are not playing their stupid games.

Michael blonde and trying to be cultured is going to be a Laugh Riot, the second he opens his mouth the illusion Colier is trying to cultivate will be shattered. (Collier's Parents sound like Idiots and that idiocy will cost them)

Won't they all be surprised when The Taylors don't show at these functions or do and snub them in front of everyone? <wicked grin>

Wow! Wow! Wow!  LOTS happening in this chapter. You must have had a blast writing the conversation between Michael and Collier. It was like, Okay, who can be the dumbest idiot. If Michael thinks he's gonna outsmart Collier, that's his first mistake. But his biggest mistake is him thinking if he can get Brian alone, that he can convince him he's making a mistake by not being with Michael.  There's a few holes in that. One, Brian doesn't want anything to do with you, Michael, and two, he'd never give you the chance to be alone with him. And if Collier and Michael think they can show up at these elite events, I hope they realize that there will be an abundant amount of security, and they won't get anywhere near any of them, probably not even in the door.

Lindsay sure has herself in a fine mess. I think she's on her way to losing not only her wife, but her son, too. (Lindsay, that will include any status and clout you may have right now, plus financial gain.)  Brian will crucify her. He will probably end up taking Gus with him to the Bahamas. If Lindsay was smart (I know that's probably not possible), she would open up to Mel and confess everything to her. Then proceed to tell her what Nancy and Lynette are trying to do. The best form of attack, is to let them know everything beforehand. I hope she learned that from the wedding announcement showing up in the paper. But I'm sure she will do the exact opposite, and try to sneak Gus to functions with her family. But Justin or his family will never put in an appearance.

I'm so happy for Daphne. She gets to marry the man of her dreams, (without all the hubbub), and she has her Dream Star singing for her. I hope she can keep her mind on her husband and not the man singing.

LOVED this chapter. thanks for posting.

OH, wow, Mikey finds a fellow idiot and Lindsay just keeps making trouble.  Great chapter.  Terrific story.

Michael is going to be a big problem.  Good that all the members of both bands want relationships.  I hope they get their wishes.  Lindsay unfortunately has sent the ball in motion and may not be able to stop the disaster that will be her life.

I loved how protective Brian was of Justin. Extra security protection, wanting to annihilate Collier if Brian finds him first. Speaking of Collier, he sounds like a loose cannon, and definitely needs finding ASAP.

I'm thinking Lindsay won't be happy when told the new rules. I just hope she doesn't do something stupid in retaliation, and subsequently put Gus in harm's way. If that happens, Brian will surely kill her. Lindsay doesn't even need Brian and Justin's new phone numbers. If she needs to contact Brian about Gus, she can contact Ted, (or Corey) and they can get a hold of Brian.ut, i don't see that being a problem.

Sounds like Landon was a good person to leave behind. How inappropriate to suggest to Justin's father that him and Justin be alone and he'd make Justin forget all about Brian. *sleazeball* And good riddance.

Kip is just all kinds of nasty. Kudos to Ben for calling security on him. I think that should have been brought to Ted's attention, and not simply to Vance. How did his ugly ass get access to Ben's room, anyway?

Dear, sweet Ben needs a love interest. Is Sean available? I know it's probably not the best grounds for a love interest being he's a fan, but he seems like a nice guy. Besides, Ben will have Travis to keep Sean in line if need be. But I don't think Sean will be a problem.

Great update. Looking forward to more.

XOXO ~ Cathy

Blake and Teddy are going to enjoy time together.  All the band memebers will end up happy except for stalkers.

Is Ben gonna let Sean do all the work or will he start the "game"?

Great update.  Love this story.
