Locksmith {T.B.}

Chapter One

I smiled as the closing song to my new album ended. It's my first time listening to the finished product of all of the songs and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. My first album held the number one album in the world for several months, and it's so much pressure to see how my second album will do once it's released.

"I think this is amazing," my manager, Kylie, spoke. "The producing of it, the writing, your voice. It's all amazing, Lin. Not everyone has the talent to be able to do it all on their own."

"Thank you," I smiled. "Now we just need to figure out the perfect time to release it."

"With the prequel for The Hunger Games coming out in November, we should wait until early next year for the news of that to calm down otherwise you won't get much attention," she brought up.

"I have a song featured in it though, maybe that is the right time."

"Let's see how that song does first before we decide to release the album close to the movie's release or not."

I nodded. This is the first time a song of mine will be featured in a movie. I guarantee this movie will do well, too considering the book is quite popular and the original movie series did amazing.

"Oh my God!" Tilly, my best friend, groaned from the couch in the studio.

"What?" I asked.

"Have you seen this man?" She turned her phone toward me and Kylie. "This man that is starring in the prequel?" She rolled her eyes back. "People are going crazy with the edits and all they have right now are glimpses from the trailer! God, he's so yummy."

"That's not even his real hair," I pointed out. "Rachel and I talk occasionally and most of the cast wear wigs throughout the entire movie."

"You mean he doesn't have luscious blonde locks?" She furrowed her eyebrows. "Or a buzzcut?"

"Well, he can't have both at the same time, but the buzzcut was real. The locks were not."

"I'm sure he's yummy with his natural hair anyway. I'm gonna find him on Instagram," she got up and left the room, her phone still in hand.

I rolled my eyes, "She's definitely gonna be a crazy fangirl when the movie comes out. Great, I'm gonna have to take her as my plus one to the premiere, aren't I?"

"I'll take her. You take your fiance because guess what? You have one!" Kylie squealed. She may be ten years older than me and I pay her to dictate my career, but man... she's my biggest supporter when it comes to my relationship with Michael. We got engaged a week ago, and she always finds moments to bring it up every day. I'm glad somebody else is just as happy as I am about it. I've been dreaming of my wedding since I was able to comprehend what a wedding was, and now I finally get to live out that dream.

"Let me see that rock again!" She grabbed my left hand to admire my ring. She didn't say a word, just stared at it. "It's beautiful," she mumbled. "You're gonna make a beautiful bride."

"Hopefully."

"Lindyne!" Tilly ran back into the room. "You need to search up Julia Connelly's recent interview. Like now."

"What do you mean?" I cocked my head to the side. I love Julia Connelly. I hope someday to be interviewed by her. She interviews the most prestigious celebrities and most of the time, they're questions that are too private, but she puts people on the spot long enough for them to give her a real answer.

I quickly searched her channel on YouTube and saw that her most recent video was uploaded ten minutes ago. But that wasn't the only thing I noticed.

My social media was blowing up with notifications. It reminded me that I have to turn my notifications off for my platforms, and it also scared me with the amount of follows, comments, and DM's I was receiving.

"I'm confused," I frowned at the top video. "It's an interview with Tom Blyth, why is it important to me?"

"Read the title," Tilly looked at me like I was stupid.

Tom Blyth On New Movie & Lindyne Paisley

"On?" I stood up quickly from my chair. "On Lindyne Paisley? Me? He doesn't know me, what does she mean Tom Blyth on Lindyne Paisley?"

"Julia knows how to promote a movie because wow. She just made fans for a couple who doesn't even exist nor have they met," Tilly joked.

"Play the video," Kylie looked over my shoulder.
