Accent in the Spotlight

…………………. “So do we try to hang out for more money” Pete laughed

 

“Dude really with what we’ve been given and what we’re getting paid don’t you think it’s enough” Kerion groaned.

 

“Yeah but I’d kill for a Ferrari” he smiled

 

“So we’re all in” I asked looking round

 

“All in” Alfie nodded I put my hand on the door handle and opened it everyone looked round.

 

“You know when do we get an up graded room with a view like that?” Pete smirked jerking his thumb to the view over Paris

 

“When you’re headlining and we’re supporting you” Daniel laughed “So do we have to find some other band or…”

 

“We’re in” I nodded “one in all in”

 

“Yes” Chad threw his head back and laughed “Lukas I told you they would and before you say anything yes we’re happy” I looked from one to the other Lukas just nodded and held out the contract to us and the pen. Alfie took it and leant on the table and signed it followed by the rest of us.

 

“Okay we’re all going out to celebrate after the gig tonight” Ryan rubbed his hands together “So kick ass and get dressed up we’re on the town” He pulled Elena to him and danced round with her making her laugh.

 

“I need to talk to my guys” Elena smiled as she stopped dancing “so gentlemen if you’ll excuse us” she walked to the door and waited for the four of us to come out she opened the door to her suite. “So I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about it but Lukas was the stumbling block over all of this he wanted some already known band” I leant against the couch “But Chad and the others wanted you and as you’re my band then I wanted for you guys to get the best deal and experience” her thick Russian accent hardly noticeable when she talked business “So after Nickelback threatened to stop tonight gig until it was settled” we all looked at each other “You guys have endeared yourselves to every member of the band and crew” she touched the side of Pete’s face “So Lukas was going to have to make the right choice in the end”

 

“Are you going to talk to our parents?” I asked “I know you leave tonight”

 

“Yes I’ve arranged a meeting with them for Saturday and you don’t worry about Dimi I’ll handle him” she looked at me “I know this is going to be hard but”

 

“It’s okay I’ll talk to him after we’ve sound checked” I shrugged she looked at her watch.

 

“I have to fly I have one meeting left before I leave” she hugged each of the guys before hugging me “I love you like my own there’s a little gift for each of you in your dressing room for tonight” she breezed out of the room leaving us looking at each other.

 

“Er… we have sound check in 20 minutes we can go see what she’s left for us” Pete smiled edging to the door.

 

“Race ya” I took of past him heading for the stairs instead of the elevators and racing across the foot bridge with the three of them hot on my heels members of the crew looking at us like we were crazy as Alfies’ long legs strode past me and to the dressing room door. Four boxes were lined on the table each with a fancy label

 

“You think they might explode” Kerion laughed

 

“Oh shush” I handed his to him before undoing the ribbon on mine and lifting the lid. “Holy crap” I whistled pulling out a dress and shoes a small box was to the side with earrings and a ring inside. I pulled out the note
