Pushed Around (Nathan Sykes)

Chapter 24

Nathan and I have just landed in America to start the mini-tour that we're doing. I could hardly walk through the airport there were so many paparazzi and fans. I shocked when I came and talked about my first single it wasn't nearly as bad. I guess when you're a rising star with a very anticipated first album coming out, it really changes everything. 

Nathan grabbed my hand giving me a smile and we stopped to sign and take pictures with fans. I somehow ended up doing a little photo shoot with the paps. I don't know where it came from, I was taking pictures with fans and then everyone was taking my picture and I was just trying to look good. There was even some of Nathan and me, I can't wait to see what those headlines are going to be. Finally, we were able to get our bags and made it into the black SUV that was waiting to take us to our hotel. We had an interview in two hours, there was going to be a team in my hotel room to help me get ready to not look so jetlagged. 

"Is this what your life is always like?" I asked Nathan seeing the fans running behind the car as we pulled away from the airport. 

"When I was in the band, yes, not as much anymore, but sometimes. I think this is the biggest mob of fans I've been in the middle of in a while." Nathan smiled. I don't know why I was so excited about this encounter, maybe because of that kind of thing, I might be able to sell out whole arenas like the O2 and Wemberly.

"What do you think they're going to ask in our interview?" I asked as we drove down the LA streets. We were meeting Ryan this morning, he was going to be our only interview for today.

"You never really know. Sometimes management will give radio stations and TV stations a list of topics not to talk about, but you can be asked just about anything." Nathan says grabbing my hand. I smiled looking down at our hands, they fit so well. 

It wasn't much longer and we were being rushed into our hotel away from all of the press that was waiting outside. Security shoved up into the elevator after grabbing out room keys. We were on the top floor, we didn't have to share a room but they were right next to each other. Once we hit the top we rushed down the hall and were pulled apart from each other. "I'll see you in a little while," Nathan said we he was shoved into his room and I mine. I was met with many smiles that were too ready for the day. 

"Hi, I'm Ellie I'll be your personal assistant for the whole press tour. Anything you need, you let me know and I'll have it done in no time at all." A girl with a very bright smile with bright green eyes and very pretty brown hair that was braided back very nicely said holding her hand out to me.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Layla." I gave my best smile, I liked her, she was a little too in my face right now, but I liked her.

"This is your make-up and wardrobe team. Ash is your stylist, she's the best, and then Kelly is your very own beautician. Now I do have to ask have ever had acrylic nails?" Ellie said. I waved at the other two girls with a smile.

"I have, why?" I asked.

"Well, we want you to look your best and seeing as this is a tour, having your nails done is always nice, you always want to look your best," Ellie explained. "Is there anything I can get you? Coffee, tea, anything at all?" 

"Uh, a coffee would be nice. Something to wake me up a little. I'll drink just about anything, but something with chocolate and caramel would be amazing." I told her. I didn't want to work her to the bone but I've been feeling the jetlag since our layover in New York, I didn't get much sleep the night before and I was too excited to sleep on the plane. 

"I'll get right on it. I have to meet with Nathan and I'll have it to you in no time." Ellie smiled walking out of the hotel room.

"Okay girl, I want to start getting your nails going while Ash shows you what she has for you to wear," Kelly said sitting me down at a small table. "What shape do you like? Your nails are already pretty long so I'll just add acrylic to them and shape them."

"In between Oval and Almond, you know not too pointy but just enough." I laughed. I loved having my nails done, but finding the time for it was a pain, they were also expensive, but I guess I don't have to worry about that as much anymore, well as long as my sales are good.

"Awesome, I think I know just the look you want." Kelly smiled going to work. 

"So, what are you used to wearing? I want you to be comfy this whole tour and figuring that out now is going to save everyone so much time." Ash said looking at her rack of clothing.

"Well, I'm not super big on being really girly, not that I have much of an edge to me, but I don't want to be in mini skirts and dresses 24/7, I love wearing jeans and a comfy sweater, no matter how warm it might be. I also don't do heals very well, boots are more my thing." I explained to her. 

"I get you, comfort is key to everything. I think I have just to look for you. It will match what I have for Nathan very well. Seeing as it is fall and though LA doesn't get much of a weather change, it's a little chilly today, and I know you said you are big on skirts, but I think you're going to like this." Ash said pulled out a long-sleeved black shirt, with an offset skirt that looked like hat been weved or something. It was very pretty. The black pair of short topped boots were also beautiful.

"You're right, I love it. Tell me you have a coat for me though." I laughed feeling the skirt, it was much softer than I thought it was.

"Oh trust me I do, you're going to love what all I have for you." Ash grinned. This was going to be crazy and I couldn't wait for the rest of it.
