She was happy that everyone was having a good time and her mom hadn't stopped smiling since Bruno had thanked her for the awesome cake she had made and had given her a huge bouquet of lillies which were her favorite flowers.

She walks over to Bruno who was grilling burgers and hands him and Eric a beer and after they thank her she tells Eric your ribs were delicious to which Bruno says yeah and what about all the meat i've grilled today making CeCe shake her head and she replies oh babe your meat is so good which has Eric and Bruno laughing and realising what she has said she says get your minds outta the gutter and walks away from them and joins Urbana and Bruno's sisters and sister in law Cindia and her sister Gina who are playing with all the kids by the pool and the hooligans were in the pool dunking each other.

She walks slowly with her brother Xander who is helping her carry the large chocolate cake covered in gold icing that says 24k magic in black icing on it that her mom has made and places it on a table in front of Bruno and watches as Bruno tells everyone to listen up and he thanks everyone for coming and that he's glad their all here to celebrate his 24k magic album being finished and even though he and the hooligans will miss their girls and families when their on the road, that he's looking forward to him and his band doing what they love to do again and sharing the new music with the world and for them to have fun and get plenty of rest tonight fellas because we're flying out to Las Vegas early tomorrow morning.

She was standing with Bruno talking with her parents and Bruno's dad when her dad says to her honey you know i'm more than happy to come with you when you go to buy a new car, CeCe stiffens up and replies thanks but that won't be necessary dad i've no intention of getting another car.

I can understand you be wary but we can just drive around the neighbourhood until you feel comfortable driving again her dad says and she replies thanks dad but I can't see myself driving again and really don't want to.

I wish I could have 5 minutes alone with the drunk son of a bitch who crashed into you CeCe her dad says and Bruno says me too.

She has to get out of there and pulls away from Bruno and excuses herself and rushes into the house and into the bedroom, trying to push the crash and the repercussions of it out of her mind.

She feels Bruno slip his arms around her and he says your dad meant well baby are you ok.

I know he does I just don't want to talk about the crash or think about it, look you should go back this is your celebration babe i'll join you in a few minutes CeCe replies.

We'll take that few minutes together Bruno replies as he turns her around and strokes her arms and takes her hands into his and kisses her softly.

They had just rejoined everyone again when her sister Gina comes over to them and says I love you, you are my favorite sister which makes CeCe roll her eyes and she replies that's easy to achieve since i'm your only sister, so just tell me what are you after sis.

She watches as her sister looks between her and Bruno before she replies I just want you to tell me something, anything about Bruno's new album.

She looks at Bruno who laughs and asks him if Gina has already asked him about the album and he says yeah and rubs the back of his neck and she says sorry sis I can't tell you anything except that it's fucking brilliant of course and she ignores Gina's come on that's not fair, just hum or sing a little bit sis please and CeCe replies not a chance you'll have to wait with everyone else sis and don't be bugging my man about it or his band.

It had been a good day but it was a relief when everyone left but now CeCe thought as she looked around the backyard it was time to tidy up.

He found her in the backyard tidying up and shook his head and walks over to her and says you don't need to do that baby i've hired a cleaning crew who will be here in about 30 minutes to clean this shit up and Bruno watches the relief on CeCe's face and laughs when she puts the glasses she had collected on a table and says thank fuck for that and smiles when she comes to him and kisses him and says seriously thanks but you should've told me.

I should have told you but I forgot, listen I want to talk to you about something and I want you to hear me out ok Bruno replies.

She didn't like the sound of that but tells him ok.

He takes a deep breath and says it's going to get crazy when the single drops next month and get crazier when I drop the album with fans and the paparazzi, and when i'm on the road it will make me feel better and give me peace of mind to know you're taken care of and safe baby, so I want you to have bodyguards who will keep you safe and can also drive you wherever you want to go.

I am not crazy about having bodyguards but I don't want you worrying about me Bruno so fine, but tell them I don't want to feel suffocated and they are not to be obstructive in any way when i'm doing photo shoots CeCe replies.

He was glad CeCe has agreed to have bodyguards and pulls her into his arms and kisses her and says i'll tell them baby thank you, now what do you says to us watching tv or a movie and ordering pizza later.

She laughs and replies that sounds good but how the hell can you think about pizza after all the food you've eaten today.

He laughs and smirks as he strokes his hands down her back to her ass and tells CeCe you know I have a big.... appetite baby.
