Page 3 of Falling for the Rockstar

Cornelius: They want me to host a local rap battle next week. I will get paid $2k for the gig.

Me: Hey, that is great news.

Cornelius: Yeah, and you know I had to go cop those new Balenciaga's. Can’t host without looking good, right?

Part of me wants to discuss that he owes me and my credit card, but Brianna would pick up on my vibe. I don a fake smile and continue.

Me: Yeah, sure.

Cornelius: And, you know I gotta get a fit that matches. Maybe we can go do a little shopping today?

No, he didn’t.

Me: I already have your outfit for tomorrow. You can just wear that one.

Cornelius: Now babe, what would I look like being photographed in the same outfit twice? You always say image is everything, right?

Me: Right. I’ll set an appointment with the stylist.

Cornelius: That’s my girl. Now why don’t you hurry home so I can thank you properly.

He sends me a picture of his dick, and it is standing at full attention. My core heats up at the sight, and I quickly find an excuse to get out of lunch.

“Ugh,” I feign a fake exhausted sigh.

“What is it, sis?”

“There is an issue with one of my clients. I have to cut out. But we are on for this Friday, right?”

“Yes, our weekly spa day at my place. I have a new wine I want to try, so bring two bottles, in case this one fails.”

“I gotchu sis.”

She stands, and we embrace for a second.

“Love you.”

“Love you back.”

I exit the restaurant and head over to my place, where my boyfriend is waiting for me.

SIMON

“That’s some way to treat a star by not showing up for a meeting,” I say to, Lenny my label manager.

He rubs his forehead before looking at me, and that lets me know I’ve annoyed him. My brother, Sebastian, glances at me and rolls his eyes.

“Wha? You all look at me as if I did something wrong.”

“Simon, you were fucking late, as usual. You can’t disregard the people who are trying to save your bloody image. Lenny had to call me to show face and restore faith but by the time I arrived, she’d left,” Sebastian retorts.

“‘She’? Oh, the new PR is a little bird? Well, had I known that I would’ve been here on time. I could always use another lady on my team.” I take the girl who’s with me, with a name I can’t remember and give her a deep kiss. “You’d be up for a threesome, right love?”

“Yeah, I would,” she replies with a wide smile. We engage in a lip-lock again and she moves downward on my neck, and to my chest with her affections.

“Simon, please don’t encourage that kind of behavior. This, and countless other reasons, is why we have to get someone on your team to clean your image. The public is appalled at your outrageous behavior.”
