My True Love (Please Stay Series)

Now (C11)

*Link's POV*

I sighed. I was so nervous, everything in my body was shaking. Scooter was nervous too, I could tell. His eyes lingered around everywhere in the room. The door swung open, and in walked Simon. I stood up to shake his hand, but instead I got a hug. I seemed quite surprised, I didn't think he was the hugging type.

"Ah, Link, I'm so glad you called," he stated after shaking hands with Scooter.

"Yeah," I started, "Your offer sounds incredible."

"I'm glad you like it," he said. "Now, I am very aware that you still might be considering, so I'm just going to say it. I think you have a lot of potential, and I know I can make you big. Bigger than right now anyways. You could be my Justin Bieber," he glanced over at Scooter, Scooter grinned. "Alright, tell me about yourself Link, what about that girlfriend of yours."

I smiled, thinking about Ariana and earlier that day, "She's amazing. I had to ask her before coming to this meeting. I don't ever want to do something without her consent."

"What's she say?" he asked.

"She's alright with it..." I grinned.

"I was pretty surprised when you called, knowing that Scooter here has her signed. I know for sure he set up an offer, why take up mine?"

"Well, even Scooter said this was an exceptional offer. I obviously couldn't at least think about taking it. Besides, you've got big name people, like One Direction. Big name shows, X Factor, you created Idol, I was the surprised one to get an offer." I told him.

"You have talent, I want that talent." he replied.

The rest of the interview went on fine, Simon and I really connected. I got up, shaking Simon's hand, and exiting with Scooter. He was still nervous.

"Scooter, you okay?" I asked, "The meeting's over, it went well, why so shaky?"

He sighed, "If you want honesty, I don't want you signing with him, as much as I think this offer is amazing. I want you on the Scooter Braun project..."

"Then why'd you bring me to this interview?" I was so confused, he wanted me, yet he was practically telling me to leave.

"I don't want to hog you, so many people want you. I'm one of them, so is Simon. I know the interview went well, that's why I'm so shaky."

"Scooter," I started, "Your offer is still in my mind. Trust me, I think I know who I'm going to sign, depending on the interview I get with the pending label." I gave him a little punch on the shoulder. He laughed. I decided to be honest with him, "I don't ever want to leave Ari, I need her okay with whatever I do. All I want is for her to be happy, whether it's with me or not. Whether I'm here or not"

"She means a lot to you." He said, as we entered the elevator.

"More than life itself."

*Ariana's POV*

I sighed.

Me:Link, mind running some errands since you're out??

Link:course we need more groceries??

Me:yep, milk, eggs, bread, and extra strawberries.

Link:you already have another pack! not until to eat em all

Me:what do you think i'm doing?

Link:alright, see ya then. <3

I smiled. Even with the thought he was just so kind. He was messed up though, he thought some things that would be outrageous to most guys, was understanding. It was good most of the times.
