"You've been exceptional! Thank you for coming out to support ya girl!"! 

Olivia stepped back from her microphone with an proud smile, soaking up all the adrenaline that comes after finishing up an show. As the clapping crescendos, she threw the deuces up, waving happily as she jogged off stage, meeting an familiar face in the back.

"You killed it out there Liv" 

JR, Cam's main guitarist complimented the singer as she side stepped into the shadows of the curtains.

"I appreciate you for noticing" 

she beamed. Considering all of his many talents, it felt almost like an honor receiving that kind of feedback from him.

"I can't thank ya'll enough for letting me join the tour on such short notice"

"Nonsense, were lucky to have you!" 

He waves her off with an genuine grin, pressing on her arm in a gentle squeeze.

Olivia had been traveling with Cameron and his band for about six months now. Last song they performed was #1 on the R&B music billboards and his management team had been in talks about the song possibly being nominated for an grammy in the next upcoming year. Olivia felt like she was just starting out with her solo music career, after being in an girls group for an few years until it all went downhill. Egos, and the typical monetary issues was the motivation she needed to branch out on her own and she's been the happiest ever since. Cameron asking her to accompany him and his band on tour felt like an dream, but it was real, and she almost couldn't believe it was happening. Opportunity came knocking at an open mic night where he heard her singing and insisted, she open up for them while on tour.

"Her attraction is far more appealing than the last nut job we hired" 

Cam appeared, handing her an glass of stella red.

"Oh? Well that's new information to me then" 

She plays it off with an shrug.

"You've got eyes, Liv. I know you recognize how happy the men are to have an pretty light skin in the mix on an daily basis" 

She rolled her eyes playfully, with an chuckle.

"Maybe I should dye my hair grey and grow an mustache"

"Yeah right, you tried it. That face and body of yours is bound to sell record after record so don't go messin round with the formula!" JR nudged her with an wink.

"I'll keep that in mind" She says, unamused.

"Ignore him like I do" 

Cameron smacked him hard on his back.

"People will buy your music because of your talent, the physique and beauty is just an bonus" 

Cam's words were gospel to Olivia. Thanks to him, her recent single, don't call me baby was gaining views and attention. He knew the music industry in and out and that's how she knows she picked the right person as her mentor.

"Says r&b music's sexiest man of the year" JR lets off an laugh.

"Suck my left nut, JR" 

Cameron flips him off turning away to face Olivia again.

"You still game for the duet?"

"You know it" 

She smiles courteously, tryna relax the nerves rolling in as her fangirl tendencies start to kick into gear. There's no denial in how fire his performances can be when he's front and center, but that didn't take away from how great of an guy he was in the flesh and how he never shies away from letting his opening acts get the spotlight.
