Getting stabbed in your dreams is much different than getting stabbed in person...[Selene]
Selene held her chest as she walked off stage, the feelings of her adrenaline running through her veins. The audience still roared as they made their escape. Mrs. C directed them to the dressing rooms to pack up.
"Y'all know Nadine is gonna kill all of us for what you did on stage?" Mrs. C fixed her wig in the mirror as she talked.
Star giggled, "Maybe if the label would let us drop an album we wouldn't be fighting for more stage time."
"Central Cee gets a two-hour set and we just open up for him when you know we have just as much clout as he does." Alex pulled her long straight hair into a ponytail.
Mrs.C slapped her hands onto her thighs, "He's the headliner!"
Selene couldn't laugh at the situation despite its comedy. Her legs shook in the chair watching the women before her go back and forth. Walid stood at the door watching them.
"As our manager, you need to start working on getting us that second album." Star pointed her acrylic finger at her.
"I will. Believe that."
Nadine pushed past Walid almost crushing her clipboard, "What the hell was that?"
Star was the first to roll her eyes, "It was just us presenting our new single."
Selene looked to Star and then back to Nadine, "What, you didn't like it?"
"We're already trending on every social media app as we speak." Alex gave her a triumphant smile.
Mrs. C cocked her head to the side, "Nadine, let the girls live. They worked hard on that song and the fans like it."
Selene sighed when Mrs. C took Nadine outside to talk more about their album. She rested her head on the vanity wanting to shut off the bright lights. Walid secured the front door of their dressing room before approaching her.
"Selene." His voice was less stoic giving her a sense of emotion for once.
Star and Alex watched their interaction play out as they chatted. Walid grabbed a water bottle from the table and opened the cap. Selene lifted her head and smiled weakly, "I'm okay."
Walid shook his head, "Take the water and drink it. I know you have a headache."
He placed the bottle down on her vanity and made his way back outside making sure to close the door softly behind him. Selene grabbed the cold bottle sipping slowly.
"Bitch, are y'all fucking yet?" Star pushed her chair near Selene.
Alex laughed, "Star not everyone fucks someone because they're hot."
"Shoot, I would! That man is fine." Star said taking her performance jewelry off.
"We are not fucking." Selene told both of them.
