What’s going on with Diamond?”
    She
sighed.   “I’m not sure.   Hopefully I’ll know something soon.   Right now, my focus is on GT and the new
album.”
    Spencer
nodded sensing Kit’s situation with Diamond influx was not sitting well with
her.   “Ok.   So, are we done with business?   Can we get to social hour?”
    She
chuckled and raised her drink.   “Yes.   Let’s.”
    The
conversation and general sentiment of the table turned fun and jovial in a
matter of minutes.   When the evening
finally concluded, Kit and Sully waved to Spencer and his date as they headed
off in his car.   She glanced over at
Sully as the valet pulled up in his red Ferrari.
    She
whispered breathlessly into his ear.   “Hearing about you bringing all that business into KMK got me a little
riled up.”
    He
snickered and glanced over at her.   “Oh really?   Wanna show me
how much when we get home?”
    She
leaned in and kissed his neck slowly.   “Uh-huh.   I think it’s well
deserving of at least a strip tease.”
    He
laughed evilly as they started walking toward his car that sat idling.   “So glad that valet was quick.”
    They
got into the car and sped off toward their home in the hills.

 
 
    A week
had passed slowly, and Kit was feeling increasingly apprehensive since she
still had no feedback from Diamond on her new post or duties. The band was in
the beginning stages of writing for the new album.   She thought now was as good a time as
any to address some questions that Sully had presented earlier in the week
spurred from their visit to her hometown.  
    He plopped
down next to her on the sofa where she was reading a magazine—something
she rarely could slow down enough to do.   “Ok, so you said you wanted to talk.”
    She
nodded and glanced over at him. “Yes.   You had some questions for me.   I’m willing to answer them.   I have a feeling this has to do with music.   You were talking to Nana and probably
conspiring, right?”
    He
chuckled.   “You know her well, don’t
you?   Yes, I did learn some
information and it lined up with what I’ve always believed.”
    She was
uninterested now.   She turned her
attention back to the magazine.   “Which is?”
    He
grinned and gently guided her face to his.   “You could be an amazing multi-platinum songwriter and producer.”   He stroked her cheek and gazed into her
eyes.   He could see the fear
instantly come alive in her emerald eyes at his declaration.   “Baby, why are you resisting this so
much?   Just go with it.”
    She
shook her head.   “It’s not what I’m
meant to do, Sull.   I have a
brilliant legal mind, and I’m one hell of a manager.   I’m a biz whiz.” She looked down at her
magazine and flipped a page.
    He
nodded, wanting to engage her again.   “All true.   I don’t deny
that, babe.   But do those things
really light you up?   You are a
different person in the studio than when you’re doing your contracts or
managing shit for us.   Don’t get me
wrong.   We appreciate everything you
do for us.   It’s just… I see
something in you that wants to get out, and it’s something really good,
babe.   You need to write more with
us.   Maybe you should try some
writing on your own or with other artists?”
    She
refused to look at him.   Her tone
was vehement.   “No.”   She flipped another page angrily.
    He let
out a frustrated sigh.   He was
desperate to understand her. “Kit, what are you afraid of?”
    She
gave him an intent stare now, warning him with her blazing emerald eyes.   “Stop pushing me, Sull.   Fucking drop it.”
    He
stared deeply into her eyes, more defiant and determined than before.   “No, I won’t fucking drop it.   If you had mediocre talent, I would, but
I can’t.   There’s a brilliance
inside you that wants to come out, and I can’t sit back on the sidelines and
watch it die.

showed itself on our last album with three songs that went to number one.
