Let Me Let You Go // Billie Eilish

Reign's Pov

The event in Texas is a success and I can say that every positive comments and praises is started to reach me. I'm not used to these kind of attention but because I covered the event and the outcome is really good, Maverick and his parents gave their full support and appreciation on my talent which I'm really thankful for that.

Today, I got a message from Maverick. He wants to see me so I hurriedly went to grabbed a cab and headed to his company. As I finally reached the building, I went up into his office. I knocked before I entered his office.

"Maverick." I called him and he looks up. He automatically smiled at me.

"Hey Reign, come in." He gestured me to seat down on his couch so I did. He sat across me and gave me a white folder.

"What is this ?" I asked and he just grinned at me.

"See for yourself." Maverick answered. I opened the folder and my eyes widen in shocked when I read the contract.

"You mean..."

"Yes, I'm willing to make as the head artist of this company Reign and you really impressed us all in your photographs. So? Can we talk about the contract? What do you think?" Maverick offered and it sounds amazing. I really got a permanent job for this year. But deep inside me hits me. Should I turn down his offer?

"But don't you think this is too much?" I asked as I closed the folder. Maverick stayed confident like he knows I will say yes to his offer.

"No one deserve this Reign, only you." He said and even though I am hesitating to accept his offer, I say yes to him. He clapped his hand like he wins a lottery ticket. We both chuckled and he started to orient me about the things I needed to know and the details about the contract. I'm happy but also worried. I don't know if this is the right thing to do. Working in here means more chance of seeing Billie which I'm not yet ready to do so. We finished our discussion and we shook our hands. I was about to go when he called me.

"Reign?"

"Yes?"

"What will you do if your losing your trust to someone?"

I was surprised why he suddenly asked me this kind of question. Does it mean he's starting to doubt Billie's feelings for him or what?

"If you that someone you will never doubt... Trust is the key for every successful relationship whether it is romantic or friendship relationship." I said and he smiled.

"Should I put you as my adviser now instead?" He joked and I chuckled.

"That will be great I guessed?" I replied and he laughed.

"I'll see again Harris."

"Yeah, you too."

I left his office while wearing this smile of mine. As I walked towards the alley, I saw Billie walking towards my direction. I stopped from my pace and she noticed me. Her feline eyes is so intimidating... And I never gets tired of admiring them. But I was the one who break our staring contest this time. I don't want to get hurt again. This is better than being friends of her. Staying away is the only protection of my heart from getting hurt.

I bowed to her without meeting her gazed. I can feel her eyes on me but I tried my best to ignored it. I walked passed her and soon I'm outside the building.

Since the day is good, I chose to walk in the busy street of LA. I'm always missing walking around while holding her hands and locking our fingers together... I always missed those times when we ate her favorite milk ice creams where she always wiping the last part on my face before she licks it.
