A little place for love

Chapter 2

Rye's POV

She kissed me in front of the all crowd holding onto my arm like I was a goddamn trophy. And I just wanted to go, to run away and never come back. But as soon as I turned my head I met the reproachful look of my manager Blair. So I stood there barely returning her kiss and trying not to look disgusted. I knew I was gonna be on the cover of every gossip magazine tomorrow morning : a picture of me kissing her with a very creative and original title such as " Ryan Beaumont, the ladies man strikes again! " or something like that.
And the girls where gonna go crazy and the CD will get sold and I was gonna have to face all of this by being pretty and smiling at the camera.
As soon as we were in the car I stepped on the accelerator in intend to get away from the crowd as soon as possible. When we finally arrived at the studio ( because that's where I was supposed to drop her) I let it all out.
" How dare you you stupid bitch! We said no kissing! We had an agreement!" I yelled.
"It's not my fault Ryan you're gonna have to talk to Blair about this, he is the one who told me to do that" she responded with a smile on her face.
" So what? I am not even a human anymore? I'm just a fucking marchandise and I don't get to say anything about whether or not I wanna be kissed?! " I said shocked.
" Not my problem and not my business. Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna head off because I  have more important things to do. Bye!"
And she just left me there. But I was still furious so I decided to call my manager.
" Hey Ryan how is it going?"
" Don't even try and seem innocent Blair it won't work! I know you told her to kiss me !"
" Of course I did, you two are supposed to be a couple and that's what couples do Ryan, they kiss."
" People already believe that we are a couple have you seen all the Raylee hashtags on social medias we don't need to put on a show!"
" Yes you need Ryan and that's why I hired Kaylee! We can't have people knowing you are gay! And if you're in a relationship with a girl they won't suspect a thing."
" They are really far away from suspecting that I'am gay Blair! "
"No they are not don't you remember what happened two months ago when you went to that gay club ? Don't you remember all the rumors that were spread?"
"..... yeah... I do..."
" Well that's why we need to convince the public that you're straight. So they buy your CD's and you are famous! Don't you wanna be famous? "
And I hung up, I didn't know what to respond, did I still wanted this? That all famous thing ?
I didn't know anymore.
I made my way to my appartement. And as I sat on one of my kitchen stool, drinking a glass of expensive whine, I felt empty. And I just wondered... what do I need to be truly happy ?
