Myka walks over to where I am sitting and bends over giving the guys the eyeful I wish I had, I’m sure. She leans into my personal space with a mere few centimeters between us. The swells of her boobs tease me, taunting me to grab them, but I keep my eyes focused on her delicious full lips.
“Mr. Ashton. I have overseen some of the most talented, spoiled, young adults I’ve ever seen, yet you, by far are the brattiest of them all. If you don’t do what I ask, you can kiss my ass and your career goodbye. Osiris will be no more, and you will have to explain your actions to your band mates and your record label. Now, think about that. If you’re serious, I’ll see you at ten a.m.” She stands, turns on her heels, and struts out of the door.
Watching her walk away is the best view I’ve had all night. As the door closes, I sit in a stupor for a few moments before my brother calls to me, bringing me out of my watching her ass swing trance.
“Simon, did you hear me?”
“No. To be completely honest, I did not. What did you say?”
“I simply stated that we may want to call off the usual debauchery and go to our respective homes, so we can be at that meeting in the morning.”
“That’s a load of rubbish. Gentlemen, we have a line of beautiful ladies waiting for us outside. These are our fans, and they expect us to be there for them. Who knows if they will ever be able to see us again? I feel it is our duty to fulfill those dreams and not crush their little hearts.”
“If you miss this meeting, not only will Myka back out, but we will lose the backing of a few major sponsors.”
I look at Lenny, bewildered by his comment. “What do you mean?”
“I had a conference with them yesterday morning before you blew off the meeting. A few of them expressed their concerns with your antics and how being associated with such actions may hurt their brand. I assured them we were working with Myka and they, aware of her reputation and that of her boss, Carter Jackson, agreed to see if you can clean up your act. If you fail or Myka bails, they’re out. The financial fallout from this could be devastating not only to Osiris, but to Meteor Records too. I think you should take your brother's advice.”
I glance around the room to gauge the unspoken opinion of the others and toss my arms in exasperation. “Fine. I’ll be there at the meeting with my best attitude. Let’s hear what this PR rep has to say about my image and how she plans on cleaning it up.”
Their faces light with happiness, and it makes me wonder, have I truly been the thorn-in-the-side everyone says I have?
Lenny rushes to the door and tells security there will be no guests this evening and offers compensation for the fans’ time in the form of concert tickets for our home tour opener.
Meanwhile, I grab my change of clothes and head to the showers where I can wash this evening off me. The night has taken a turn from the usual, which leaves me with plenty of time on my hands to do nothing. For as long as I can remember, I would have a voluptuous babe on my arms after each show. Sometimes more than one. Yet here I am tonight going back to my home with no company. All because these sponsors and the media are all in a tizzy over how I spend my free time. Or if me and a bloke get into an argument over his girl, who he’s obviously not treating right and come to blows. None of it is my fault. Some people should just mind their own bloody business. Now I have to deal with Ms. Myka and her uptight views on how I should behave. I mean, who is she to give me instructions and orders? She's nothing but a fancy babysitter who can occasionally speak on behalf of another person. Write out some schedule for us to adhere to and then jot down some words for us to say. We’re becoming puppets, and all for what?
“Say, Simon. Some of us would like to shower up too, ya know,” Stix calls from the other side of the door.
My internal monologue will have to wait until later. I quickly rinse off and exit the bathroom, allowing him to get in. “Sorry mate. I was in deep thought about tomorrow’s meeting.”
“Oh, can’t keep you mind off her, can you? We saw the way you were looking at her as if she was a piece of meat.”
Oddly enough, I wasn’t thinking about her in that manner at all, until now. Christ, now I have to go home and wank one off to take away this ache. “No, I wasn’t thinking of her at all, actually.” I slide past him and return to the dressing room where the others are drying off and putting their clothes on.
“We’ll see you at ten, right Simon?” Sebastian asks.
“Yes. I promised you I’d be there, and I aim to keep that promise. No need to nag.”
“Like, Lenny said, this is about more than you.” He pats me on the back, and he and Mikey walk out.
Stix returns from his shower, dresses quickly, and leaves too.
I’m left alone with the security team and cleaning crew. Only my thoughts keeping me company, and those thoughts are of her.
