Narrator’s pov

“Maybe, maybe not” Luna smirked
“You do realize there’s cameras in here right?” Fawn asked
“What?” Cytheria asked, panic shot through the girl’s veins
“Nah I’m just fucking with ya” Fawn chuckled “But I do want to install them”
“We’ll call tech” Luna assured. Her fingers intertwined with Cytheria’s and the two girls headed out the elevator with Fawn trailing behind them
The elevator opened directly into Luna’s private office, a huge room occupying the corner of the building with floor-to-ceiling windows giving views in two directions of the busy California street below them. The rain continued to drop down onto the city, clouding the glass window with its random trail of raindrops.
“So, tell me more about the woman we’re interviewing today?” Luna asked
“Well, her name is Amy and she’s 36, she’s worked with Linkin Park, Sam Smith, Miley Cyrus and Ariana Grande. She doesn’t have any children because she believes they’re a spawn of the devil-”
“I like her already” Luna chuckled
The two girls pushed open the wooden door of the main office, Luna’s eyes immediately landed on the large, oval shaped desk that was in the center of the room
“Nope. Has to go. Just has to” Luna snickered
The office was painted grey, giving the room a more soft feel. On the brown desk sat a desktop computer, a notebook lying open, and a stack of papers sitting under a turtle-shaped paperweight. In a corner, the air conditioner was blasting at medium, and there was a swivel chair in the middle of the office.
A bookshelf, bursting with books was in a corner, with yet another stack of papers under a paperweight that was shaped to look like a tuft of grass. A few pens were lying on the papers, but some had fallen onto the top of the bookshelf.
“I guess Lucifer hasn’t been here in a really long time” Luna chuckled, her hands slipped into the pocket of her trousers and she walked over to the glass window
Her eyes looked out onto the streets below, covered in rain that splashed onto different ends of the road when hornking cars sped through it.
Cytheria’s arms hooked around Luna’s waist from behind and she rested her chin on top of the girl’s shoulder. Luna chuckled softly and continued to look out below.
The shadows of the raindrop trails reflected onto her face, a smile stretched across Luna’s lips as she took a deep breath in
“Who would have thought we would have ended up here?” Luna asked
“What do you mean?” Cytheria questioned
“You’re following your dreams and being the most successful woman out there, then there’s me who’s about to take over this firm. Life’s going pretty great” Luna said
“It’s kinda weird now that you think of it” Cytheria chuckled
“How so?”
“I don’t know…. We just never expected ourselves to be here. I always thought I’d be studying business until I’m 30 years old and you… Well… You didn’t know what you wanted to do on earth besides have fun” She said
“That’s true” Luna mumbled, Cytheria furrowed her brows
“You can still have fun. Anything you want to do, we’ll go do it. Just name it” Cytheria smiled
“Don’t you have an album release coming soon? You’ll be busy” Luna said
Cytheria smiled and unhooked her arms from behind the girl’s back, Luna then turned to face her and Cytheria cupped her cheeks
“I’m never too busy for you” Cytheria whispered, Luna chuckled and placed her hands on her girlfriend’s hips
“So anything I want, you’ll do it?” Luna asked
“Yes”
“Break up with your boyfriend” Luna said, there was a seriousness in her tone that made Cytheria tremble
“Done” Cytheria said. Luna furrowed her brows
“Really?” Luna asked
“He’s not my boyfriend, he’s just labeled as it to the public. So I was still single, it was a contract for me to be at all of his meetings and events and for him to be at mine. But I have you, and I want you. I want you to know how serious and committed I am to you Luna so yes I’ll get rid of the contract. I just need a manager first” Cytheria whispered
“And that’s why I’m here. Hello dears” A voice said, the two girls glanced in the direction of the door to see a tall woman standing there with a briefcase
She had on a slim pants suit and her hair was slicked back in a clean bun, her red lipstick made her blonde hair appear more vibrant. The woman dusted off her shirt and stepped into the office
“Amy?” Cytheria asked
“Yes, that’s my dear” Amy smiled
Cytheria walked over and shook the woman’s hand who returned the gesture.
“Please, sit” Luna motioned over to the seat in front of the oval shaped desk. Amy smiled sweetly and took her seat, Cytheria sat in the head chair while Luna stood behind her.
“So Amy, tell me about yourself?” Cytheria asked as she flipped through the woman’s file
“Well my name is Amy Brown as you might know, I grew up in California. My father was a music producer who left me in the care of his manager most days so I naturally gravitated towards the occupation since I found it most fascinating. I’m highly strict when it comes to business but I’m fun when you get to know me. Most people call me a mother and a friend in one” Amy smiled
“Oh wow” Cytheria chuckled “What has your experiences been like in the Music Industry?”
“According to my file, I’ve worked with Sam Smith, I’ve helped them out of some legal battles. Their old manager wanted them to push breakup songs and other shit that Sam didn’t want. So they built the courage to fire their manager and I came in, now they’re making the music they’re passionate about and now their mental and physical health is better. They’ve never been happier” the woman said
Cytheria took a pen in her hands and started to write down a few notes
“I also worked with Miley Cyrus, we all know she went through a phase of lashing out after her TV show. Her manager wanted her to be this ‘bad girl’ for America, the poor girl was having a mental breakdown everyday and the manager turned that into music, so then I came in and now she’s the best she’s ever been. She’s clean and off of any drug substances she might have abused and is making music she feels chills about” Amy said
Cytheria’s eyes went wide as she continued to write a few notes, feeling herself become more interested in the story
“I also worked with Ariana Grande, she was a nerdy shy girl who took over the internet with her acting. It wasn’t her style, she didn’t like the person she was then so she hired me and now she’s a respected female artist that produces hit after hit” Amy said
“Wow… So you’re nanny McPhee but the music version?” Luna laughed
“As I said before, some call me a mother figure” Amy smiled sweetly
“Your record speaks for itself, you’re one respected woman and a really good manager Amy. So tell me why you’d like this job?” Cytheria asked
“I’ve seen the disgust in your eyes when he holds your hand. I’ve seen the way you shift uncomfortably when he tries to kiss your forehead. I know your relationship with him is fake, and I think I can help you get out of it. You’re really talented Cytheria, but your manager fucked everything up when he made you sign that contract, especially when your heart belongs to someone else” Amy said, her eyes glanced in Luna’s direction
Cytheria chuckled when Luna leaned down and kissed her cheek, she intertwined their fingers and rested it on her shoulder
“What do you think?” Cytheria whispered
“Me?” Luna chuckled
“Yes you. You’re apart of my life and I want you to make this decision with me. So what do to you think?” Cytheria asked
“I think she’s perfect” Luna giggled
“You think so?”
“She seems like she could really work some magic on your situation, if she breaks the contract then I think she’s got what it takes. I’ve met Sam Smith and they truly do seem happy with their life right now, maybe you should give her a try” Luna said, Cytheria nodded and turned her attention back towards the woman
“So what will it be?” Amy smiled
“You’re hired” Cytheria chuckled
“Thank you, I appreciate this job and I won’t let you down. The first thing I’ll do it start to work on breaking that contract, unfortunately that means that you’ll still have to be at his movie debut in seven hours” Amy said with furrowed brows
“Yes I know, that’s why I’m taking my girlfriend there and the rest of my chaotic friends and we’re gonna have a ball of a time” Cytheria smirked
“I think we should use his credit card and order food from Gordan Ramsey’s restaurants from all over the world, let them ship it to our hotel overnight” Amy smiled
“Us? Our?” Cytheria asked
“Yes dear. I’ll be coming with you to London” Amy smiled sweetly and stood to her feet, gripping her briefcase. Cytheria’s jaw dropped and she laughed
The woman slid on her black shades and headed towards the door, her thick heels echoed through the entire office. The woman reached to the door then glanced back at the two girls
“Well? Aren’t you coming?” Amy scoffed and stepped out the office
“oh my God” Cytheria chuckled
“I like her already” Luna smirked, her hands gripped the side of the office chair and spun Cytheria around to face her. Cytheria giggled when her eyes landed on her girlfriend
“So….” Luna smirked
“So?” Cytheria asked
“Wanna have sex in the office?” Luna wiggled her eyebrows
“Didn’t we just have sex ten minutes ag-”
“So?” Luna groaned, Cytheria chuckled and stood to her feet
“You’re so weird” she smiled, her arms wrapped around Luna’s shoulder
“I’m yours” Luna whispered and placed a kiss on the back of Cytheria’s hands
Cytheria chuckled and pulled Luna’s head down to hers, pressing a tender kiss on Luna’s forehead
“Damn right you’re mine”
