Crossroads

Meeting

After 3 months of just spending time at home, with Max and Matt..

We had gotten so much closer, we were like a family now.

I had forgotten about the call I had with the producer for the new tv show The Voice 3 months ago until I got a call from him again that night.

"Hello? Mark?"

"Christina! I'm so glad you answered. I have good news. I'm sorry I didn't call you in three months...I was trying to come up with another choices for the coaches. And I got them! I have the 4 coaches now."

"Oh! That's great! And who are the other coaches?!"

I was really excited. I had never been part of a project like this. A tv show. Who would think that I'd be appearing on a show on TV! That was so new for me. Well not that new...I did appear on a tv show when I had 14 years old. The Mickey Mouse Club. But I was a baby back then!

Mark brought me back from my thoughts when he answered my question.

"Well...I can't tell you yet. It's kind of a surprise. I was actually calling to tell you that you and the other coaches will get to know eachother on a meeting..with me, on Saturday."

"Oh...ok ok. That sounds really cool! You'll leave me with the curiosity then!"

I laughed.

"We're only 2 days away from Saturday Christina! I'm sure you can hold it."

He laughed too.

"Well..I better leave you Christina, you must be buzy. And I also need to tell the other coaches the good news."

"Okay Mark, again..thank you so much for this oportunity! I'm sure this project will be awesome"

After I hanged up Matt entered the room.

"Babe who called?"

"Do you remeber I accepted being part of a new competition tv show?! Well it turns out that Mark has all planned out now! He has the 4 coaches and wants us to meet on Saturday"

"Baby that's amazing! Come here!"

He put his arms around my back and lifted me to kiss me.

"Actually...I should be thanking you...for giving me the courage to accept this. I love you"

"And I love you honey"

Max entered the room jumping like a monkey.

"Mommy I couldn't avoid hearing all of it.. I'm so excited you will be on tv!!"

"Yes honey!! I am too."

I laughed giving him kisses on his cheeks.

"I'll go play in my room mom!"

He runned to his bedroom.

"Man..I want to know who the other coaches are going to be"

I said excited.

"I'm sure they will be awesome just like you"

"You're the best"

Matt walked to the door slightly closing it and said

"Well...Max is playing in his room."

He smirked.

He runned and picked me up throwing me to the bed.

I giggled.

"Matt..he will hear us."

I whispered laughing.

"Shut up"

He kissed me taking his shirt off.

"Damn it Matt! You know I can't say no to those arms and that body"

I laughed kissing him back.

We were in the middle of...you know...when my phone rang again.

"..Baby..wait a sec"

I stretched my arm to reach to my phone.

"Hello?"

"Christina, it's Mark again"

He laughed through the phone.

"Oh Mark..hi..what happened?"

"I'm sorry to bother you again but I called the other coaches and they are way too excited to meet eachother...so the meeting will be today. I mean if you are ok with it."

I jumped out of bed hearing this.
Matt mouthed 'what is it?!'

"Oh my god! That's so much better. Yes!! I can make it today! Where and when?"

"Awesome, at the nbc studio second floor, at 5 pm. Exactly in 3 hours."

"Okay..then I'll better start getting ready!"

"Perfect...bye!"

"The meeting will be today!"

I told Matt with a big smile.

"Really? That's great"

"I'll start getting ready...maybe we can finish that later"

I winked bitting my lower lip.

I took a shower and when I got out I started straightening my hair a little bit.

When I finished I did my make up. A little pink with a touch of red on my lips, eyes, lashes and I was ready to change my clothes.

I didn't know what to wear. Should I be formal or informal. Should I wear a dress?

I went for a casual look. Just a simple white shirt with a jean jacket with leather sleeves. It looked ok.
I wore black leggings with boots.

"How do I look?"

Matt smiled when he saw me.

"Perfect as always"

"Thank you baby, I'll call my driver to take me to the studio."

"Don't worry, I'll take you. It's NBC Studio right?"

"Yep, thanks honey"

We got to the car and drove to the studio.

"You're nervous"

Matt spoke

"What?"

"You always play with your nails when you're nervous, realx. I'm sure they will love you...who wouldn't?!"

"I do that...don't I? I guess I do it unconsciously. Thanks babe..I don't know what I would do without you."

I grabbed his hand.

When we got there, Matt left and I went inside the building and walked to the elevator. I looked at my phone...I was 15 minutes late. Shit..why am I always late. Great Christina. Now you'll make such a good first impression.

I got in and pressed the button to 2nd floor. When the doors were about to close, a hand stopped them and they opened again. In front of me there was a familiar face.
