Melany

"Morning Mel," I heard a voice next to my ear. I fluttered my eyes open & saw a familiar face.

It was my dad.

"Dad!" I yelled & jumped out of my bed, "you're back from France!" I hugged him tightly.

"Yeah. Two months is up," he smiled & hugged me back.

"I'm glad you're back. So much has happened just in this month," I huffed.

"I know. International superstar," he smiled.

"Dad I am not an international superstar," I laughed.

"Not yet," he messed up my hair & left my room. My phone buzzed & my screen lit up. I checked it to see a text from Xavier & Aidan.

Xavier

I had a great time babe. We should do it again sometime. But maybe something a little more lowkey.

I smiled at his text & slid down my screen to reveal Aidan's text.

Aidan

Come to my house in the city, something's up.

I rolled my eyes. He needed my help? Funny. I replied to Xavier's text

Definitely, when are you free?

& Aidan's

Alright, but it better be something important.

I made my way to my bathroom to get ready for the day. I loved Sundays, but today I could tell that this one wasn't gonna be so easy.

"Honey where you heading?" my mom caught me by the door.

"City. I gotta go meet my," I caught my tongue. For some reason I didn't want to tell her about Aidan because then she'd be worried & I would be screwed, "my producer for some sample sounds."

"Alright please be back by the evening. We're having dinner as a full family tonight," she smiled at me. My dad had his arm wrapped around her waist.

I loved how the romance in my parents never died. They've been together for a long time but they act like newly weds.

"Alright. I will," I responded & left the house.

I parked outside the building & got out the car. There was a small group of paparazzi outside just taking pictures of me with no yelling. A door man opened the door for me & I went inside. I approached the lobby desk.

"Hello I'm looking for Mr Alexander?" I asked.

"Yes hold on. I need to check in with sir," he said & tapped the button on the intercom.

"Mr Alexander you have a guest," he spoke.

"Who is it?" Aidan asked.

"What is your name miss?" the man asked me.

"Melany. Melany Kesting," I told him.

"Let her in." Aidan commanded. He nodded & gave me a card which had the number 409 on it.
