Genesis Finch had what everyone thought was the perfect life. She was one of the world's best supermodels. She was one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood. She had rooms full of awards. Men throwing themselves at her. But she was missing ONE thing.

That was until she met AJ McLean...

**TEASER**

"So what does AJ stand for?"

"Alexander James." he responded, watching her lazily chew on her lip. He knew she wasn't trying to be sexy or flirty but for the oddest reason that made her even more sexy.

"Hhhmmm...anybody ever call you  Alex?"

"Yeah before I started using AJ."

"It fits you better."

"Huh?"

"You look more like an Alex than an AJ." Genesis explained. She knew she was rambling and she should pick up her dog and go back into her dressing room and get changed but she didn't want to yet. "Mind if I call you Alex?"

'You can call me anything you want.' almost popped out of AJ's mouth but he decided that she was too good for regular pick up lines. "I don't mind. What about you? Got any nicknames?" he asked.

Genesis shrugged. "My friends call me Gen." she told him.

"Mind if I call you Gen?"

"Go right ahead."

"Okay, Gen." AJ replied, smiling lightly at her. "Sorry about Nick earlier. He sometimes get overly excited by beautiful women."

"It's okay." she replied. 'I'm used to it.' she added mentally.

"So...I saw some roses in your room when I walked by earlier. They from your boyfriend?"

Genesis's smile faltered for a second. She wished they were from her boyfriend. "No they are from my parents. My boyfriend normally sends white roses." she explained. "Even though he knows my favorite flowers are white lilies. Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Yeah." he responded. Genesis noticed a slight bit of regret in his voice as he looked at her. "Her name's Sarah. We've been dating for a month or two. It's been hard because I've been touring."

"Yeah that is hard." Genesis agreed with a nod.

"How do you know?" AJ asked surprised.

"I've dated a lot of musicians." Genesis told him. "Plus I never really have time off either. I'm either promoting something, shooting something or modeling something."

"Yeah it's hard..." AJ muttered, absently petting Hollywood.

"Genesis!  You're supposed to be getting ready." Christine interrupted coming up behind Genesis.

Genesis looked over at AJ and then at Christine. "Okay I'll be in a minute." she responded, with a nod.

"If you don't hurry -" Christine began.

"OKAY Christine. I know." Genesis cut in, suddenly irritated. Christine often treated Genesis like a child and it never failed to annoy the hell out of her. Christine shook her head and walked back into Genesis's dressing room. Then Genesis turned back to AJ. "Okay well I guess I have to go get ready." She walked into the room and over to AJ to get Hollywood.

Just as she was about to pick the dog up AJ grabbed her wrist. "Can I call you sometimes?" he asked looking at her hopefully.

Genesis smiled down at him sweetly. "I have a boyfriend." she replied and AJ let go of her wrist. She picked up Hollywood before impulsively leaning down and lightly giving AJ a kiss on the cheek. "Nice to meet you. I'll see you around." With that she walked out of the room, feeling a bit dumb. She told him she had a boyfriend, yet she kissed him.

"I'll be sure about that." AJ muttered to himself. He wanted that girl damn bad and he would do whatever it took to get her.
