Secret Agent (5 Seconds of Summer)

Chapter 4: Everyone Loves Dogs. And Fish.

Instead of practicing for their performance they somehow got distracted by me. 

I wasn't sure how to respond, as I was trying to define the character Georgia Kingsley. I didn't think what my favourite colour would be, what my favourite animal would be...?

"Dad got me an apartment closer to the city so I didn't have to travel far when I go to University...if I wanted to that is. I have a cat called Snooks and a fish named Sammy."

"Do you not like dogs?" Ashton piped up whilst grinning excitedly at me, and I shrugged with a smile. Inside I was freaking out. I had to remember my lies, and also make sure they're backed up if ever they suggest they visit me in the fake apartment.

Keep it simple, Gemma.

"Yes, I love them, only my cat wouldn't get along with dogs, and I can't possibly get rid of her."

Ashton nodded, blushing. "I have a dog." He was sitting next to me, and was inching closer to me. I wasn't sure how I felt about it, but there was a feeling in my stomach which I couldn't figure out, so I tried to ignore it.

"I have one too!" Luke accused, looking at me for a response. 

"Dogs are awesome." Calum responded with a nod.

Michael just shrugged. "Cats are pretty cool. I like fish."

"Guys, you're on in 5..." A man with a headset knocked on the door, and called out to the boys. The boys instantly jumped up and grabbed their things. Luke looked over to me whilst taking a drink.

"Are you going to watch us perform?"

I nodded, standing up also. "I need to find my father. But I'll see you soon."

The boys one by one left, Ashton being the last as he hung around waiting for everyone to leave. As I passed him he grabbed my arm, stopping me from leaving. I tenses instantly, ready to knock him unconscious any second if he tried anything.

"Can I get your number? We should totally hang sometime." He seemed unsure about his words, but when I smiled and nodded, a grin creeped up on his face.

Does this count as trying anything? I don't think Mr Saxon would be too impressed if I knock out my client within a few minutes of meeting him. 

"Sure." We traded numbers and he grinned at me, before leaving to follow his band mates. I let out a sigh of relief, looking down to my phone to see Ashton's name as a new contact on my phone. Henry chuckled from the other end.

Looks like someone pulled.

"Shut up." I muttered, shaking my head as I head over to the main hall to find the CEO. He nodded to me in acknowledgement as the band quickly set up. I saw a few of them look over to me, but I pretended like I didn't notice.

"Hi, Mr Kingsley."

"Is everything alright?" He asked and I nodded, smiling at him. Unlike what I assumed he would be like, he was actually a rather pleasant man. Someone who had a deceased wife and no kids, I think part of him longed to treat me somewhat like a daughter. A daughter with a rough past, I might add. He hasn't failed to point out the fact I had to prove myself before I gained his full trust. 

I never did find out what happened to Dan Biggs, and I never heard about the bank robbery again. 

Like Gemma never existed.

"Henry tells me Ashton asked you out." A smirk formed on his lips, and I rolled my eyes.

"He didn't ask me out, he got my number though."

He shrugged. "I've spoken to their agent. If they do well over the next few weeks, they might find themselves on my label."

"Good." 

"Which means your services may no longer be needed. You'll probably want a promotion by then, something more important...I'll make sure I give a good word to your boss."

"If I do well, right?"

"Right."

So just to get through these next few weeks...that's all I had to endure.

Maybe it won't be so bad...right?

I looked over to the band as they introduced themselves and began to play. Mr Kingsley leaned closer to me as I watched them play.

"Address me as 'Dad' from now on, unless as you see fit. Find a way to spend more time with them."

I nodded, taken by surprise as I heard the band play.
