The Record Label

It's not goodbye. I'll see you soon gorgeous

"If this is what the sex is like after you win an award... I will start paying people to vote for you" Carina laughed, making Maya laugh too.

It had been around a week since Maya had won the Grammy and she had been working and practicing none-stop. The first show of the tour was in two days-time, but they were leaving tomorrow morning to catch a flight, stay over and perform the next day.

Carina had basically been trying to push the idea of Maya leaving out of her head, but she couldn't help but get upset when she had seen Maya pack the past couple of days. Tonight however, she had planned an extra special evening for just the two of them in their home.

It was currently mid-morning and there was a meeting scheduled in the record label with Maya to finalise all the details before she leaves. Carina had been in the office for a couple of hours already and Maya had been in the studio.

Maya left to head for the record label, stopping off at hers and Carina's favourite coffee shop and picking up their usual of an americano and a cappuccino with oat milk. She finally arrived soon after, pulling into the car park and smiling at Carina's car parked next to her, thinking about memories of the time her car broke down and Carina invited her for dinner. Technically that was their first unofficial date.

She walked through the building towards Carina's office, seeing the office door open down the hall and Carina walking out, followed by an unfamiliar woman. A very attractive, blonde woman to be exact. As Maya got closer, she watched the friendly, giggly interaction between the two, wondering what could possibly be so funny. Carina flashed her signature smile, making Maya very jealous.

"Hi baby" Maya said as she reached Carina's side, kissing her on the cheek, "I brought you a coffee" she handed her hers.

"Ah thank you! We were just saying I need a coffee after this morning" Carina said, glancing at the woman.

"I didn't wear you out too much did I?" the woman said, slightly flirtatiously making Maya's blood boil.

"I'm sorry... who are you?" Maya asked plainly.

"Ah bella sorry, this is Giana Rossi, she is a new artist I am going to be working with. Giana this is my girlfriend Maya, and she is another artist I currently work with" Carina smiled proudly.

"Nice to meet you" Giana stook her hand out for Maya to shake, which she did rather tightly, both presenting half fake smiles.

"Where are you from?" Maya asked, curious as of where her accent is from.

"I am originally from Rome and I have just moved here to LA".

"Oh... Italian?" Maya asked, looking at Carina.

Carina obviously didn't catch onto the jealousy, "mhm... I am so excited. I have never worked with an Italian artist before... the representation is going to be huge" she smiled.

"Mhm" Giana smiled, "I have to get going, I'll see you soon. Nice to meet you too Maya".

Giana walked away, "are you ready for the meeting bambina?" Carina asked. Instead of answering, Maya dragged her into her office, shutting the door behind them, "bella as much as I want to have sex with you right now, we have a very important meeting to get to".

"She's into you" Maya raised her eyebrows.

"Who?" Carina asked, clueless.

"Giana!" Maya replied making Carina laugh, "ugh baby please don't" Maya whined, pulling Carina in close, "all of the flirty looks and the comments about wearing you out, it's plain to see. She's mentally fucking you all day long".
