“Why’s that?” Kyla asked.

“Well, this was their first photo shoot, but they have done commercials and cameos in shows before,” he paused thinking looking up at the ceiling as if he were thinking. “Let’s just say they need to have things their way or hell will break loose.”

“Shit,” I whispered to myself. I can’t deal with anyone trying to get revenge or anything on me. I’m getting married in a few months, I’m getting my music career back on track, and I already have gossip columns going crazy. I can’t deal with anything else. I’m going to be hella busy and tired.

“What can we do to prevent anything from happening?” Kyla asked worried.

“Don’t need to worry about it. Ralphie already set them up with a new shoot so they’re alright.”

“Why do people hire them if they are so fussy?” I asked. I mean seriously, who would want to work with someone who always needs things their way or else they will be pissed.

“Well, they’re…hot,” he replied bluntly.

“There are thousands of other hot models out there.”

“That’s true, but they are also very experienced. They are naturals at everything they do. I’m surprised they never had a photo shoot before this.”

“Oh,” was all I was able to say.

“But, don’t worry about them. Ralphie mentioned the photo shoot they did went very well so they pretty much forgot about you letting them go.”

“Ok, that’s good then. I didn’t want to deal with any more drama stuff anyways,” I replied.

“So is that what you wanted to tell us?” Kyla asked.

“Oh, no. Sorry. Uhmm actually I have really good news for you Ashley,” a grin was across his face and it wasn’t like any old grin. It was different. “So I know this is totally last minute, but you are going to perform at the World International Music Awards!”

“What?!” Kyla and I jumped from our seats at the same time with our eyes wide and mouth open. So the Music Awards is the biggest awards for musicians of the year and the people need to ask you to perform. The awards has the best musicians of all genres from classical to rap. The last time they asked a pop/rock artist to perform was over ten years ago. They always choose the classical and blues artists to perform for some reason.

“You’re kidding me right,” I exclaimed. Another way to describe how big of an awards this is, let’s just say I am fairly popular in the United States and in Europe. But there are a shitload of other artist that are famous all over the world. All the world wide musicians are seated on the floor, while all the other musicians are on the lodges. I was surprised I even received an invitation and got two seats. One for me and Spencer.

“I’m so serious! I just got the call. Apparently Lady Gaga was going to perform, but couldn’t make it for some reason, so their next choice was you!” I could tell how excited Jesse was for me.
