"Hii!" I answer cheerfully, goddamn was he hot . He lead me to a corner, away from the others.

"I was wondering if you'd like to go with me to uh i don't know just hang out?" 

There was a thick atmosphere of tension around us, even though he had managed to ask me his question without much difficulty & for the very first time. It wasn't common, most people stuttered A LOT. I try smoothing out the tension & smile sweetly at him. 

"Sure, text me lokoo." I swipe my soft fingertips under his chin, pulling his head towards mine, as if i were to kiss him, I guess he was expecting one. Because we both found ourselves holding our breath, be more professional dumbass, I thought to myself.  Thinking fast, I quickly let him go and turned around. I couldn't let myself go crazy over him.

We walk back to were Aubrey was waiting, he looked ... anxious & annoyed. I frown at him. We said our goodbyes & me and Aubrey walked outside to wait for our limo. 

"I saw how you were looking at Erick, Mariana."

I stare at him, dumbfounded. Aubrey sighs & continues.

"I just worry about you. You're like my little sister and I honestly want the best for you. Don't fall for ANY of those boys, I don't want your career over this early."

I pull him into a hug and smile over his shoulder. 

"I won't Mr. BossyPants, did i mention you're the best human in this world?" I say, emphasizing with my arms a big sphere. He laughs and our white Audi Limo pulls up. The road to a restaurant was quiet, we ordered through the drive thru because if we were to go inside, we would run the risk of running into dozens of fans. We receive our food and head back to the hotel. Walking out of the elevator, I stop beside Aubrey as he fumbles for his keys. 

"Goodnight."

"Sleep well Mariana." 

I walk to my hotel room, closing the door. I turn on the lights & place my fast food on the counter, reaching down I untie my shoes & slip my sweater off my shoulders. Hanging the keys, I then walk to the TV; I go to my recordings & put on all the episodes I missed of Criminal Minds. I remove my makeup & jump in the shower. When I come out, I bring my food to the couch in the living room. I had a really big hotel room. It was more of a small house. Two separate rooms, the living room, and the bedroom. My bedroom had a bathroom and shower stall. The living room had a beautiful view of Miami Beach & a kitchen. I watched Criminal Minds till around 3am.

I think I dozed off, because when I woke up I was in bed. A note on the table beside my bed read:

Get ready because Alex (my bodyguard/driver) is taking you to CNCO's studio to start vocalizing at 9am! I'll pick you up around 1 or 2 in the afternoon. -Love Aubrey 

I smiled and walked to the bathroom. Quickly I brushed my teeth and ran a comb through my hair. Aubrey must've contacted a beauty artist. There was a knock at the door. Oh! there she is. I went over to open the door, a middle aged women was there. 

"Good morning Miss Mariana, I'm here on behalf of Aubrey; to have your makeup and hair seen to." 

I nod & pull out a chair, once she's done I pay her and she leaves. I check my phone, it's 8:40am. My makeup once again was an everyday look & the lady curled my hair. Looking in my closet I decided to wear a pink sweater with darkish blue jeans & my black converse. I spray on some perfume & throw on a white Nike cap and some shades so I'm not that noticeable. As I head out, Alex is ready for me.
