Lucky Strike

Hi, I'm Scarlett Carmichael, yes the sister of Jesse Carmichael, member of the band Maroon 5. I'm 26 years old and Jesse is 34. Even though we are 8 years apart, we are still really close. I moved in with my brother 2 years ago and have been working as his personal assistant. 

I hang out with him and the other band members a lot. They are usually here partying when they aren't recording or performing. The other guys in the band have almost become my brothers in a way. But there is one thing Jesse doesn't know and I hope he never finds out.

I have a big crush on Adam Levine, his best friend and frontman of Maroon 5.

Adam and I have flirted back and forth, but neither of us ever acted on it. He usually always has a girlfriend, but him and Behati recently broke up and now I was hoping that this was my chance.

"Jesse! Come on! You need to be at the studio in 20 minutes or Shawn is going to be pissed!" I screamed at my brother who was still laying in his bed. "5 more minutes...." Jesse whined from upstairs. 

I stormed up the stairs and went to his room. "Get your lazy ass out of bed," I said. "Noooo..." He whined. I picked up one of his shoes and whipped it at him. "Hey!" He shouted as he shot up. "That's better, now get ready! You have 18 minutes," I said before I walked out and went to my room. 

I picked out a black pencil skirt with a loose red chiffon shirt. I slipped on a pair of cherry red peep toe stilettos. I walked into my bathroom to brush my teeth. I put on some light makeup and put my hair into a high ponytail. 

I walked back downstairs and there stood Jesse in a plain black t-shirt and jeans. Adam was starting to rub off on him. I grabbed my keys and purse before we climbed into my black Range Rover. On the way to the studio, Jesse broke the awkward silence. 

"Are you in love with anyone?" He asked me. I almost slammed on the brakes. "Excuse me?" I asked him. "Like do you have a crush on anyone?" He asked. I thought about it. I broke up with my boyfriend of 1 year a couple months ago, and since then, I hadn't thought about being in another relationship. (Besides being with Adam of course). 

"No, just little celebrity crushes, just like any other girl." I said. "Oh ok," He said. I was about to ask him why he asked, but we were already at the studio. We both got out of the car and walked inside. We were greeted by Shawn, the band's manager.

"Thanks for getting him here on time Scarlett, go on in Jesse. The guys are waiting for you." Shawn said. Jesse left us to join the guys in the sound booth. I followed him with Shawn. "So are you excited about the upcoming tour in a month?" Shawn asked me. "Yeah, I can't wait! This is going to be my first time on the road with the guys," I said.

"Well, as you know, Adam has had 5 assistants in the past month," He said. "Yeah, why?" I asked him, curious as to where this conversation was going. "Adam was wondering if you could be his personal assistant, along with Jesse's." He said. "Why?" I asked him, even though I loved the idea of being Adam's assistant. I would get to be with him all the time. 

"Well, Adam has seen how good you are at being Jesse's assistant and he thinks you're the only person that can put up with him besides the other band members." He said. "Oh, well, I guess I'll be his assistant," I said. "Awesome, here come the guys," He said. 

"Hey Scarlett," James said before he hugged me and kissed my cheek. "Hey James," I said. "Scarlett!" Matt screamed as he picked me up and kissed my cheek. I giggled. "Hi Matt," I said as he put me down. "Hey Scarlett, what's up," Mickey said before he hugged me. "Hey Mickey," I said. "Oh I already said hi to you," Jesse said before he winked at me. "Shut up Jesse!" I said as I playfully pushed him.
