the new songs,” Liz
explains. “We heard that you had a few lessons and are already killing it.”
“Yes, I had a few. I hope I’m caught up with you guys.” I
say modestly.
I edge closer to the piano, and look at the music they’re
holding. I can feel disdain rolling off Mel in waves.
It’s a struggle not roll my eyes at her. I know I’m going to
feel timid and shy for about one more day, before I get sick of dealing with
this girl’s bullshit.
I don’t recognize the song they are looking at it, and I see
that it only has backup vocals for two women.
“Oh, I must not be part of this one,” I say foolishly,
backing away.
Liz looks at me with confusion.
“Please,” Mel says sarcastically under her breath. Clearly
she’s not the most patient person.
“This is your part,” Liz says, pointing out some of the
melody and lyrics.
I laugh. “It’s definitely not. I’m just a backup singer,
like you guys.”
Liz’s eyes widen. “Did they not tell you? This is the song
where your voice is featured. Mel and I are singing back up.”
I look back and forth between the girls, I don’t believe
what they’re saying. Liz seems sincerely surprised that I am clueless, and Mel
just looks pissed off.
“No way. I know nothing about this.”
Liz smiles broadly, “It’s true. The band was very clear
about it.”
“Must be nice to just waltz right in and get featured in a
song,” Mel says scathingly.
Alright, I need to set the record straight.
“Look.” I say, “I know I just met both of you, but I’m
telling you now I know nothing about this.”
Mel rolls her eyes at me. I know she’s jealous that she
didn’t get picked.
I snatch the sheet music out of Mel’s hand, much to her
surprise, and march over to Dom who is now working with the band.
“Can I talk to you for a minute?” I ask, unable to keep the
edge out of my voice.
“Sure.”
He steps aside and I thrust the sheet music in his hands.
“What the hell is this?”
A smile spreads across his face.
“It’s our next number one hit.”
“Ha ha, very funny. Want to explain why the two girls over
there are telling me that I’m the one being featured?”
“Because you are.”
His smug, matter-of-fact tone is annoying the hell out of
me, and I get the urge to knee him in the balls again.
“Since when?” I growl.
“Since you signed off on it in the contract.”
His eyes stare into mine, challenging me, and I feel anger
start to flood my system. How can I be so physically attracted to someone who
pisses me off so damn much?
“The contract?” I ask stupidly.
Shit, shit, shit. I knew I should have looked that over, but
once again, Dom had worked his magic. That’s why he had brought the contract
over himself; he knew that if he managed to piss me off, he could distract me
and get me to sign without any questions.
“It was all in there,” he says simply. “You’ve also agreed
to shoot the music video.”
“What?” I yelp.
Everyone around us stops to stare.
“You’ve agreed to be in the music video,” Dom says slowly,
lowering his voice “And you could act a little more grateful. This is going to
do wonders for your career.”
“You tricked me!” I accuse. I can feel my face redden, I
probably look like a tomato right now.
“I did nothing of the sort! I told you we should go over the
contract.”
He’s right but I was too furious to think clearly.
“Yeah, well I’m sorry but I was too busy trying to make it clear
that I didn’t want to kiss you!” I shot back. “I just wanted you to get the
hell out of my apartment as quickly as possible.”
“Well, you’ve signed it already, so I suggest you learn your
part.” He gives me his famous, cocky Dom Dresden smile. I don’t know if I
should melt, or scream.
“Whatever,” I hiss, I can feel everyone’s eyes on me. I
stalk back to the women and throw the sheet music down.
“Let’s learn this.”
Liz is looking at me with a newfound respect, and
explains. “We heard that you had a few lessons and are already killing it.”
