Speechless


Part One

"Tell me again why I'm here?" Isaac complained as he glared at his younger brothers. "Because Chris asked us to." Taylor answered. "I hate these things. Smile at people you don't know or don't like. Everybody else drinks until they're wasted or makes an ass of themself. Chicks hitting on you only because you're Hanson, not Isaac, Taylor or Zac, just Hanson." Isaac complained even more. "We just got to make an appearance and then we can go." Zac shared. "Oh no another photographer." Isaac warned as the photographer walked right past them. "Whoa. Reality check." Taylor suggested. "Who wouldn't rather take her picture." Zac said watching where he went, looking at the striking red head, adding, "Major Babe alert." "Whoa. Major is right. Wonder who she is? You seen her before?" Taylor asked. "Isaac I said you know her? Ike? Hey man." Taylor said finally turning to his older brother who was glaring at her talking to one of the hosts of the party. He watched as she was offered a drink but turned him down, settling for a bottled water. "Hmmm." Isaac sighed still entranced by her. "Pssst. Zac look at him. You ever seen him like that? So taken by a girl." Taylor asked. "No man. Sometimes I've wondered. You know he only has a couple of girlfriends, but he only talks to them or ocassionally, you know I don't know if I've ever seen him kiss a girl." Zac wondered as he stared at Isaac staring at the red head. Isaac watched as she was introduced to partiers nearby. Without saying a word, Isaac made his way across the room at the same time the red head was speaking to the host and then pointed in the directuion he had been in. Isaac watched as the two made their way across the room and walked up to his brothers and she extended her hand. "Why'd I leave. I should be meeting her right now." Isaac grumbled. "Taylor, Zachary Hanson, I'd like to introduce Alexandra Grant. Alexandra dear, two of the three members of Hanson. Where'd your older brother go, Isaac." the host asked. "Alexandra right?" Zac said taking her extended hand. "Yes Zac the drummer. I am such a huge fan. My Hanson pals won't believe I've met you. This is so cool." Alexandra said staring at Zac's hand holding hers as Zac stared at Taylor. "Tay, Wow such a thrill." Alexandra said extending her hand, visibly moved as he took it in his. "My Hanson Sis will never let me wash this hand. My Lil Hanson Sis will probably make me wear a glove to protect it." Alexandra said as she giggled. "I'm sorry. I just met Justin Timberlake, Nick Carter, Bandy, Whitney Houston, Britney Spears, you know I don't think she liked me, anyways I went so. But you two, I'm Speechless. Reduced to giggling." Alexandra shared as she sighed. "It's okay. We're used to it." Zac said wrapping an arm around her as a photographer snapped their picture. "Oh God, Jessy will never forgive me. I told them to come with me but noooooo. Nobody will be there, they said. Wrong." Alexandra said giggling again, looking around, adding, "I wish your brother was here. I'd love to meet him." Both Taylor and Zac stood at her side with their arms around her as this glow appeared and photographers clicked away. "You know with the money I just made, I'm tracking down a copy of 'Mmmbop' and 'Boomerang', you know original, real things." Alexandra shared as the host called her over. "Oops. I better go. I'm here working actually. I hate this promoting stuff. You know most of these parties are such a bore, everybody getting drunk and stupid." Alexandra said rolling her eyes as she headed off. "I hope I get a chance to talk again." Alexandra called out as she turned and waved, noticing Isaac and smiling so big. "Man you missed it. She's a fan. She said she'd love to meet you." Zac informed. "She what?" Isaac said staring in her direction.   "She looked around, said she'd wished you were here, she'd love to meet you." Taylor explained. "Isaac. Hey man." Taylor said turning to his brother staring at her again. "You want to split?" Zac asked. "Are you crazy? What if I get a chance to meet her?" Isaac asked glaring at him. "Yeah so what would you say?" Taylor asked. "Isaac. Hey man." Taylor said turning to find him staring at her again but this time noticed that she turned to him and smiled. "Did you see that?" Taylor asked. "Yeah. She did it last time he zoned too." Zac said. "Isaac your fly is down. No wonder she's smiling." Zac teased but no response. "Ike. Hey man you're drooling. Cut it out, it's embarassing." Tay teased but no response. "She said she was looking for a copy of 'Mmmbop' and 'Boomerang', originals." Zac no more than said, "Really. I should tell her to be careful, so many are copies. She could get ripped off easily." Isaac said. "Well he speaks. I was going to call you Speechless II." Taylor teased. "Two? Why two?" Isaac asked. "Because Alexandra already confessed to being Speechless. She said she'd met Nick and Justin and nothing but us, she's speechless." Taylor explained. "She did? Wow." Isaac said gazing her way again as Alexandra turned his way and smiled. "Did she say what she was promoting?" Zac asked. "Nah. Wonder who she is? What she did?" Taylor wondered. "Who cares, she's so nice." Isaac exclaimed as he gazed in her direction but she wasn't there. Isaac quickly checked over the room, looking for her. "Dammit. What if she left? I wanted to meet her." Isaac said searching the room again. "Isaac. Isaac. Hey man." Taylor said putting his hand on his shoulder to get his attention. "Isaac I would like to introduce Alexandra Grant. Alexandra you'll have to forgive him. He's not been himself since you walked in the room." Taylor explained of the speechless Isaac. "I know the feeling. I can't believe I'm meeting you guys. Man, I , I. Oh no." Alexandra said as she heard her name called again. "Excuse me a minute. Man I really wanted to talk to you." Alexandra said rolling her eyes and walking in the direction of the party host. They watched as she was introduced over and over as a camera flashed, "So what did you think of her?" the photographer asked. "Who?" Zac asked. "Who, Alexandra Grant, who else? I sa her talking to you, so what did you think?" he repeated "Charming, very charming. We really didn't get a chance to speak much before she was called away. She said she was a fan." Zac answered. "A fan huh? That's new." the photographer said. "What do you mean, new?" Taylor asked. "I've snapped members of BSB, N'Sync and others but none of them mentioned she said she was a fan." he answered, adding, "Really? A fan huh?" "Yeah is it that hard to believe. She said she was trying to buy originals of our early recordings with the money she'd just made." Taylor replied. "With the money she just made, she could hire you to record them for her and the movie hasn't been released yet." the photographer explained. "So she's a movie star huh?" Zac asked. "You honestly don't know who she is?" he asked with a shocked look on his face. "Nope never heard of her." Zac replied. "This young upstart of a producer got some backing from his rich grandparents to do this movie off of a college friends story he'd written and he happens into Alexandra aand the movie is said to be one of the greatst to come out of Hollywood ever. Shoestring budget so no bells and whistles, a plain Jane movie and Alexandra turns it into a gold mine. Everyone who turned him away is dying now. You guys can relate to that, can't you?" he explained. "Yeah man we kept the rejection letters to remind us." Taylor replied. "Hey guys, I snuck away again." ALexandra shared making it to them once again, adding, "Oh hide me. Don't let him see me." She quickly ducked in front of Isaac, "I hate this red hair, it's like a neon sign. I swear as soon as the premirre is over, I'm back to my natural color." she shared. "It looks nice on you." Isaac said as he put and arm on Taylor and pulled him close to help conceal her. "Thanks, that's so sweet of you." Alexandra said kissing her fingertips then placing them to Isaac's lips, explaining she had done so many of these meet and greets that her hand was permanently numb. "I put my foot down, tonight is the last for a whole week. I'm going to hide and try to relax, this has all been a little much." she explained. "So what you planning on doing?" Isaac asked. "I honestly have no idea, just get away from here and this kind of stuff. It's all so phony you know." she answered as she looked at him. "Yeah I hate these things, it's all so fake, nobody really cares, most of them get wasted." Isaac complained. "So true. You understand?" Alexandra gasped as their eyes met and a warm smile came over them. "We had to make an appearance, our personal representative said so, but we did and we can split, you want to come with us?" Isaac asked. "Can I? That'd be great. It's the same for me, make an apppearance and I have." she asked excitedly. "Sure. Let's see if we can get you out of here." Isaac answered and Hanson blocked her from view, making their way out the door. "Yes, I'm free." Alexandra squealed once outside. They quickly loaded into Isaac's car and made their way from the party.
