1.0: the meeting

I sigh as I spin around in one of the leathery spinning chairs in my manager, Amy's, conference room. See a month ago I was introduced to a problem. This problem was suggested by my manager; she thinks I need a boyfriend to bring up my reputation. I couldn't think of anyone to fake date, because it would be just plain weird and awkward to fake date a friend but she had a perfect guy in mind and she said this perfect guy also needed his reputation tweaked. I didn't know who this guy was and that is why I'm here today. I get to meet this guy today. Not exactly excited considering I don't even know this person. They could be an ignorant prick for all I know.

A couple minutes pass as a knock on the door brings me back to reality. Amy walks through the door with another professional look person with black hair and a young, tall, good-looking guy with black hair and brown eyes. I make eye contact with each person. As I stand up my manager speaks, "Leena Rexha meet Jack Gilinsky and his manager David Gilinsky. " I smiled and shake hands with both men and muttered a hello as I sat in my previous seat, with my manager to my right and jack across from me and his manger next to him across from us.

"Now Jack, we all know that the Madison situation wasn't a good thing for your name and reputation because she was underaged and since neither of you had made it public, good choice by the way, you will be fake dating Leena." David spoke sharply.
Amy came in, "now you guys need to become comfortable around each other, I suggest hanging out any chance you get, maybe get to know each other. Jack has decided he is going to be living in Los Angeles now and Leena your tour doesn't start for another 4 months so you both have time." I just nodded and took a quick glance at Jack. He just sighed and nodded to what she said, I could see a hint of angry in his eyes but his expression seemed to be, surprisingly, okay with everything.
"Now take this kind of slow and make it as believable as possible." David continued, making sure he was clear. "I expect you two to be hanging out in public by next week. Start off by hanging out with friends then alone, to dinner dates or movies or the beach whatever you're both comfortable with. Oh and your publicists told me to make sure you follow each other on social medias."
"Oh and by the way Leena, Jack along with his other friends: Jack Johnson, Sam Wilkinson, and Nate Maloley will be joining you on your tour as opening acts." This comes as a complete shock to me, not to mention I'm not really aware of who these people are. Why am I just now being told this?
"David and I will be back with some paperwork; you two stay put." Amy speaks. I nod and they leave. The door shuts rather loudly.

The awkward silence is killing me, I pull out my phone and speak, "Can I get your number? Considering we have to start hanging out." He sighs as I hand him my phone. I watch as his thumbs slide around on my screen and he hands me back my phone. He looks around the room and I try to be nice by starting up a conversation, "So who are those other friends of yours that are going on the tour?"
He makes eye contact with me now and says, "their names are Jack, Sammy and Nate. They are pretty much rappers and really good friends of mine. We all pretty much grew up together in Omaha."
I smile at the thought, "my grandma lives in Omaha." I'm suddenly confused, "wait you have a friend named Jack? Like same name, same spelling?"
"Yeah, it's pretty cool and a funny story how we met." He smiles

We're interrupted by a door opening, our managers walk in with some paperwork, we both sign some papers I don't bother reading them or listening to what they say. I just want to leave at this point.
"Alright, that's all we need. Be nice Leena," she gives me a look after speaking.
"You too Jack" David reminds.
