Barely Legal (but not really)

Meetings and Fianceés

Nickolai, Nick, and Albert arrive together and Fab is the last to arrive.
"Casablancas I never thought I'd see the day you arrive on time to a meeting." I hear someone say.
"He beat us all here." Albert tells the man.
"Well color me surprised, don't tell me this lovely young lady is the reason for that? If so I must eternally thank you." He says now turning towards me.
"Y/n this is Ryan, Ryan this is y/n my new assistant." Julian introduces us
"Hold on this is the 'barely legal' girlfriend that Juliet complained so much about to me?" Ryan says now studying me.
"For the last time I am NOT barely legal I'm 21." I say angrily.
"No wonder Juliet was so angry, she has competition." Ryan chuckles.
"Well you can tell her there's no competition cause y/n's already my fiancée." Julian says.
"Excuse me-" I start ti say before Julian cuts me off,
"We don't have to keep it a secret anymore, we may as well share the good news with everyone."
"I never thought I'd see the day that Julian Casablancas settles down." Ryan says shocked.
Fabrizio immediately pulls me into a hug shouting congrats, and Albert follows suit patting me on the back. Nikolai offers me a shy smile, and Nick doesn't say anything. Julian informs Ryan about writing up my paper and he busies himself with it. The rest of the band talk amongst themselves as they wait for him to finish.
"Julian what the fuck was that?" I harshly whisper at him.
"I told you I'm never going to get Juliet off my case if I don't say we're marrying eachother." He replies.
"And when people keep asking us about the wedding what then?" I say my voice rising a bit too much.
"Calm down we'll figure it out later." Julian replies getting annoyed.
"Whatever," I say reaching into his pocket and stealing one of his cigs, "I need some fresh air." I announce getting up and walking out. Once I'm outside I realize I don't have a lighter so I just stick the cigarette in my mouth and sigh.
"Need a light?" I hear someone say.
"Julian I need time right now ok," I reply without looking.
"Well it's a good thing I'm not Julian." I look up and hear Nick say.
"Shit Nick, sorry about that I'm just... on edge." I apologize. He laughs and holds out his lighter. I let him light the camel in my mouth and take a long drag.
"That stressed huh?" He asks.
"You have no idea." I reply.
"Then tell me about it."
"It's just, Julian thinks he can do whatever he wants without talking to me about it first. He acts like he's the only one that has a say in what happens and now I'm stuck playing his little fiancée just so that he can get Juliet off his case. He could easily tell her to fuck off." I rant.
"Y/n you don't have to do all of that. Besides you deserve someone better than Julian." Nick states as he hugs me.
"Someone better like you Nicholas?" I hear Julian say harshly
"So what if I am talking about myself." Nick challenges.
"Well then you'd better rethink your place in this band." Julian says.
"Hold on, hold on. Julian c'mon don't do something stupid like that. Nick was only trying to make me feel better, that's what friends do." I explain.
"Friends don't try to steal their other friends fiancées." Julian says still glaring at Nick.
"Julian what are you even saying Nick isn't interested in me." I say confused.
"Oh is that right? So Nick will have no problem telling us he feels nothing for you?" Julian asks.
"Of course, right Nick?"
"I... I don't" Nick says and walks off.
"Jules... you didn't have to do that," I say softly.
"I know but I just, I'll explain it later c'mon your paperwork needs to be signed. I drop my cigarette and he grabs my hand as he leads me back inside. Ryan discusses all the papers and gives them to me to sign. After signing everything Julian tells me to wait out in the hall so the band can discuss their music. I slump down onto the floor outside the door and use my phone while I wait for them to finish. After a while I see Julian walk out and Fab following him with a camera. I hear him snap a picture and Julian telling him to fuck off. Fab takes a seat next to me so I ask,
"Is the band talk already over?"
"Nope." Fab tells me smiling as his picture finally develops. He hands me the picture of Julian and I stare at it.
