Natalie's POV

"And done." I say with a smile as I lean back.

Laura: More to come in the next week. How are you feeling about going on Ellen?

Me: Definitely. And no.

Laura: Thought so, okay I'll make sure you get back on Jimmy's show. Both of them. Coffee?

Me: Thank you and yes please.

"Excuse me? How did I not know you were releasing an album? How rude of you." Taylor shouts.

I hear the sound of heels against the floor, here she comes. The door opens, Alex and Taylor walking into the room.

"Why hello. How can I help you on this beautiful afternoon." I say as I spin around in the chair. "Love this."

"I'm hurt." Taylor says.

"And I'm going in circles." I say as I keep going in circles on the chair.

"You didn't tell me either." Alex says and I shrug.

"It's supposed to be a surprise. Hence why I didn't tell either of you anything."

"So the name of the album, what's with that?" Taylor asks.

"You'll find out when you listen to the album." I say nodding my head. "I think it's self explanatory."

"Reflection." Alex says and I nod.

"Did you like my latest easter egg?"

"Oh I saw, my phone keeps buzzing ever since you posted the picture." Alex says and I laugh.

"I thought it was great."

"Oh oh are you talking about the picture Nat took wearing the number two jersey?"

"That's the one." I say.

"You're making me dizzy." Alex says and I shrug. "It was Mal's jersey. She has been going nuts for the past three days. My phone won't stop buzzing."

"Sorry, but I just had to." I say. "It was the perfect last easter egg before my announcement."

The chair suddenly stops as I fly off the chair and onto the floor. I look up and see Taylor grabbing onto the chair.

"You're making us dizzy."

"I'm going to head to the restroom so don't mind me." Alex says as she walks out the break room.

I get up from the floor, when the door opens. Laura walking in as she hands me my coffee.

"Thanks."

"Your guests are here." Laura says and my eyes perk up. "Should I tell them to come in?"

"Yes, yes tell them to come in."

"Who'd you bring? What aren't you telling me?" Taylor asks. "Keeping so many secrets for me."

"Oh please." I say with a chuckle. "You need to calm down, I promise there's no other secrets, just the album and the one now."

"So who'd you call?"

"We're coming in."

I set my coffee down as I greet the four people in front of me.

"Alright queen you have our undivided attention." Jonathan says and I laugh.

"There's no easy way to say this." I say.

"Please." Tan says.

"I'm getting married."

"OH MY GOD." The four of them say in unison.

"Yes queen! So happy for you! Are we invited?" Jonathan asks, a smirk on his face.

"Obviously. But I need your help, I'm in desperate.. WE are in desperate need of your help." I say.

"Anything." Jonathan says.

"Whatever you need." Tan says and I nod.

"Thank you. But first I'd like you to meet my beautiful fiancée. Baby? Alex?"

"Ooh yes let's meet the lucky one." Jonathan says and I laugh.

"Coming." Alex shouts.

Alex walks into the room as she stands next to me. I grab her hand and smile at the crew.

"This is my fiancée Alexandra."

"I go by Alex. Nice to meet you all. Big fan." Alex says and I smile.

"You're absolutely beautiful." Jonathan says and I grin. "What a gorgeous couple, no offense queen Tay."

"Meh." Taylor says and I chuckle.

"So what help do you need?" Antoni asks.

"Well.. Jonathan I need your help with hair. Tan dressing, Antoni food."

"Then why am I here?" Bobby asks.

"I need help with decor and to narrow down our location for our wedding."

"Got it."

"When do you need us to start?" Bobby asks.

I look at Alex, who looks back at Taylor, who looks back at me.

"I see this is a very indecisive environment, probably why you haven't advanced much. We start today boys." Bobby says.

"Wait, we didn't ask the most important and crucial questions." Tan says.

"Which are what exactly?" I ask.

"When's the wedding? Where do you plan on having the wedding? What's the theme we're going for? What food are we going for?"

"Uhh well, we're thinking of having the wedding on New Year's Day. Well we decided we want to have the wedding at Mexico and the theme? Uhh-."

"We clearly don't have a theme as of now, but we're definitely having our wedding at Mexico, for food we decided on Italian and Mexican food. We decided tacos because they're just very good." Alex says.

"Yeah what she said." I say nodding my head.

"Okay well let's get to working boys, we have lots to plan and so little time." Tan says.

They all start grabbing their computers as they get started with whatever they need to do.

"So you brought help." Taylor says.

"Alex can you come here love." Tan says.

Alex let's go of my hand as she walks over to Tan.

"Well you're busy, I'm busy, we need all hands on deck."

"Smart. You called the right people." Taylor says ruffling my hair.

"Yes she did. What a queen." Jonathan says with a smile and I laugh.
