Chap 27 - Popstar

A/N: Hello! This isn't necessarily a big chapter, but it has so many things that I'm excited for you to learn! A lot is going to happen and I want you to enjoy chapter 27, Popstar.

I sigh when I make it back down to the studio room. I reach for my phone that usually stays in my chest fluff and realize: fuck, I left it in the room.

"No!" I whine out loud. People turn to me, "were any of y'all able to grab my stuff?"

They look around and shrug. I groan, great.

"Here." I turn to see Melissa, one of Velvette's favorites. She hands me my duffel bag and my phone.

She has a straight face. I smirk, looking her up and down, "thanks."

She rolls her eyes, "your stupid tricks don't work on me, pornstar."

I smirk and hold back an eye roll. I start walking away and call back at her, "Good, I don't like fucking girls anyway. Peace out!" I hold up a peace sign back at them as I walk away.

I take a look at my phone and see messages from Charlie, who wants to know when I'll be over. I hum in thought. I have to get back to the casino, I'll tell Husk.

I start typing to Husk but stop and just put my phone away. I'm early and I said I wouldn't be able to go to the hotel later.

I'm about to turn onto another street when I hear my name get called.

"Angel!" I stop and turn around to see Naveah, who is out of breath. She puts her hands on her knees, holding up a finger. "Hey," she breathes out.

"Mousy! Hey~ whatcha doing over here? I thought Val was keepin' ya busy?" I ask as she huffs to try and catch her breath.

She sighs, "He is, but It's my day off technically so I was wondering if you wanted to hang out?" My eye brows furrow in confusion.

"Since when do you get days off?" As far as I can remember not even Dia and Summer get days off and they've worked at the studios almost as long as I have.

She blinks in surprise, "er... I don't... know? He gave me the day off today." She shrugs, "Anyway, you wanna hang out today?"

I hum at the change in topic, but whatever. "Sorry, Mousy, I'm busy today. I gotta go back to the casino soon and then head over to the hotel."

"Aw! But I thought you were ahead of schedule!" She whines, pushing out her bottom lip.

I laugh, "yeah, but I gotta get going 'cause otherwise Kitty gets mad at me." I wink at her, "besides, you probably want to spend the day sleeping. Maybe next week? I got a lot less work on Thursday."

She hums before nodding. "Okay, that's fine. I'll text you later and maybe you'll change your mind."

I laugh again, turning away. "I don't think so, but bye toots! Talk to ya lata(er)" I call back at her as I walk away, waving my hand.

"Wait!" I sigh turning around again to Neveah.

"What is it, Mousy? I gotta get-"

She points behind me and I turn my head to see Alastor walking down the street, away from us, people running away from him. "The Radio Demon!" She flinches as his head turns towards us inhumanely.

I roll my eyes and wink at him. He makes a face of disgust before pausing. I chuckle and turn back to Neveah.

"Look, girly, you go back, I got it. I don't want him to kill ya." She shrinks back in horror.
