"Then, will you let me be selfish? Will you be mine?"

Even as children, everyone around them knew they would end up together. But of course, life doesn't always go as planned.
Alana never thoug...
The tall blond woman greeted her with a nervous smile— one in which she returned kindly. Alana exited the car, standing up to her full height before the trembling woman.
"My name is Noelle and I'll be giving you a brief tour of the building before we head up to the conference room," her voice was shaky and she had no idea why she was feeling so nervous. It might be the fact that standing in front of her in all her glory, was the world-famous singer that may be potentially signing with them.
Despite being a few inches taller than the singer, Alana still managed to intimidate the fuck out of her. It didn't help that Noelle was a big fan of Alana's, so her feelings of nervousness were doubled. She desperately wondered why she was the one her boss had chosen to give Alana a tour of the building.
Noelle couldn't help but stare at the beautiful woman in front of her. The aura Alana emitted enchanted and rendered her speechless. Glancing down at her outfit and comparing it to the one Alana wore, Noelle was sure that the beautiful one-shoulder satin Isabella Knight dress, Gucci belt, and high waisted boots that Alana had on was probably all worth more than her paycheck.

"It's nice to meet you, Noelle," Alana's soft voice broke the woman out of her trance. "You can just call me Alana."
Noelle gave her a nervous smile. "Of course, Ms. So-" She stopped herself, looking embarrassed at her slip-up. "Sorry, I mean, Alana. Mr. Pierce apologizes for not being able to give you a tour himself— he got caught up with a meeting with the board."
"It's fine. And no need to be nervous, Noelle," chuckled Alana, as they made their way to the grand glass double doors, a stark contrast to the basement parking lot they had just emerged from.
Noelle let out an anxious chuckle. "Of course. I'm just-" She took a deep breath. "I'm a big fan and I really loved your last album— it's been on repeat these past few months."
Matt walked in front of them as he opened the door for both Alana and Noelle with Daniel trailing after them.
"Thank you so much," Alana smiled gratefully. "Just think of me like I'm your friend and you're giving me a tour of your workplace."
"I'll try," promised Noelle, taking a deep breath to try and calm her nerves. She took the key card that hung around her neck and scanned it on the side of a large glass door, directly opposite to the set of elevators on the left side.
"Great— and I'll try to be on my best behavior, too," winked Alana, with a teasing hint in her voice. "I've been told I seem hard to approach, but I swear I'm nice. I don't have an RBF. Right, Matt?"
"Of course ma'am," answered Matt swiftly, holding the door open for Alana.
"Do you think I have an RBF?" Asked Alana, pausing to look at her bodyguard who had his signature stoic expression on his face.
