about the industry and I’ve been able to utilize some of my university studies. Emily took me right under her wing and even though I’m technically supposed to be her assistant, she is treating me as if I am her equal. She even allowed me to write up the press release about the bands upcoming concert in Los Angeles.
For the first three days, I only saw Slater in passing. Most of the time he seemed preoccupied with other stuff to pay me any attention, but today I could feel his intense heated gaze roaming over my body. I smiled at him and waved hesitantly. He didn’t smile or wave back. The blonde guy standing next to him grinned and winked at me, triggering my eyes to instantly return to Emily. Don’t get me wrong, the blonde is cute. He has a similar body type to Slater, a well formed muscular physic. His blonde hair is short on top, he has lips that would put Mick Jagger’s to shame and his eyes are blue in color. But I’m not looking for any type of relationship at the moment, let alone one with a guy that looks like he wants to eat me alive.
Emily is in the process of giving me a rundown on the routine she normally enforces on concert days. Before going on stage tomorrow, the band will talk to the press backstage. They will then complete a two-hour concert after their supporting act ‘Big Halo’ has finished a half hour set. The band then has a one hour break to recuperate before the fan meet and greet commences. She is explaining how the fans will line up at the side of the stage and she wants me to be responsible for ensuring that only the backstage pass holders are given access past this point.
“Don’t panic though, you will have two security guys with you at all times,” she informs when she notices my concerned expression on my face. I was in the process of trying to work out how I was going to stop ‘Rise Up’s’ persistent fans from just barging past me. When Emily notices the relieved look at my face she giggles softly.
“The fans aren’t the ones you need to be worried about,” she informs gently. “It’s the groupies that are the most concerning,” she continues, screwing up her pointed little nose, causing me to giggle softly.
My heart melts when I follow Emily back into Noah’s dressing room. Noah is asleep on a large sofa in the middle of the room and their daughter Maddie is snuggled in close on his chest, her little snores only just audible. Maddie is only eleven months old, but there is no stopping her. She can already walk and has all of the band members and the crew wrapped tightly around her little finger. Emily and Noah travel with a nanny but they are very hands on parents to their adorable little girl. I think I have seen Maddie more with Noah and Emily than her nanny the past three days, or should I call him a Manny since he is a male nanny?
Noah’s eyes pop open the instant Emily moves over towards him. He smiles brightly at her as she gently removes Maddie from his chest and places her into the crib that is set up next to the sofa. Once Maddie snuggles into her little pink bunny, Noah pulls Emily down onto the sofa that she ends up being straddled on his lap. I quickly and a little awkwardly divert my eyes, triggering Noah to chuckle softly.
“I’m just going to…umm…go,” I mumble, quickly dashing out of their room. I close the dressing room door as the sounds of Emily’s giggles echo around their large dressing room.
I have learnt pretty quickly the past three days that things in the entertainment industry are a little different than a standard nine to five office job. Here, there is no real routine during the day. If Emily needs me, she texts me. Other than that, I have a good amount of free time. Emily explained that most of my work will be completed during the nights when the band is performing on stage. I will assist in setting up the press room, the meet and greet areas and I will make sure the dressing rooms are supplied
