It's Not Like the Fairy Tales

Ch. 8

"Hey guys it's me your fabulous Cece Queen." I made my little queen pose into the camera.

"So today guys I'm going to be doing One Direction's They Don't Know. Cause you know they are my whole existence and this my favorite song from them." I had my guitar out and started strumming out the simple chords. Once I was done singing, I just laid back on my bed, I'll just edit later I thought.

Right when I was about to fall asleep, my phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hi, is this Celia Devereux?"

"This is she, may I ask who I'm talking to?"

"Millennium Records, we were wondering if you could come in some time this week, the CEO has a big deal he wants to discuss with you."

"Really?! Why me?"

"Your YouTube videos have been gaining quite a lot of popularity and you're such a talented singer. Mr. Wang wants to help you get even more recognition."

"Oh my gosh, defiantly I'm free anytime next week."

"Okay, let me see. How about Tuesday at 2:30?"

"Tuesday at 2:30? Okay, I'll defiantly see you soon. Thanks for the call." With that the secretary hung up. I can't believe I have a possible record deal with Millennium Records, I have to tell somebody. I ran out the room looking for Matt.

"Matthew Lee Espinosa! Where are you?!" Matt came walking out of the kitchen.

"What are you yelling about today."

"I got a meeting with Millennium Records about a possible recording deal." Matt's eyes widened and arms opened as I ran closer to him. He pressed a light kiss into my hair, squeezing me tighter.

"I'm so proud of you babe and I'm sure our little babies are proud of their mommy."

"I hope so too." I said placing a hand on top of my stomach.

-Tuesday

"I'm so nervous, I don't know what I'm going to do." I said as I fixed my dress. I decided to go with a yellow sun dress with a jean jacket.

"Don't worry, you'll do fine. Besides this is not even a job interview, there's nothing to be afraid of." Matt said from the bed. It's 1:35 in the afternoon yet he still laying around in our bed.

"I know, but I'm meeting the Jackson Wang."

"As soon as you walk into the room, they're going to give you the deal."

"I hope so, that would be so amazing."

When I arrived at Millennium Records, I was awed by everything around me. Gold and platinum records hung from the wall, if there was anyway I wanted to become big, this was the right direction.

I walked up to the secretary, who took a second to look up at me.

"Hi, how may I help you?"

"I have a 2:30 with Mr. Wang."

"Let me see..." She quickly typed somethings on her computer until she found whatever she was looking for.

"I see, Celia Devereux?"

"Yes, that's me." The secretary dialed a number and pressed a button to get Mr. Wang over the intercom.

"Mr. Wang, Celia Devereux is here to see you."

"Send her in." You heard his voice say over the intercom.

"You can go right ahead, he's expecting you. Just go straight through these doors." She pointed to a double besides desk that reached up to the high ceilings.

"Thank you." I walked towards the doors and pushed lightly. The door opened to reveal Mr. Wang sitting behind his desk.

"Welcome Ms. Devereux. Here, we can sit on the couches." He got up from his desk and walked over to the couches that faced each other in front of his desk.

"It's nice to have you here."

"The pleasures all mine."

"My daughter talks about you all the time. When I saw your videos for myself, I could see why you were so popular. You really got some pipes on you." He said smiling warmly to me.

"Thank you so much." I smiled, looking down at the ground a little.

"Anyway let's get down to business. I was thinking we could start off with a two studio album contract at first. Afterwords we can renew your contract as sees fit."

"Okay." I nodded thinking it was reasonable.

"Also from your social media I realize that you are pregnant. I'll give you time off for that but I want at least an EP released beforehand. Is everything understandable."

"Yes, I understand."

"I already wrote up a contract that you can sign today." He got up and walked to his desk. Searching through the pile of papers briefly before picking up the contract, he walked back over to the couches.

After handing it to me, I looked over everything before signing. Handing it back to him with a smile, he got up to walk me to the door.

"I expect a lot from you Celia, don't let me down." Mr. Wang stuck out his hand to shake mine.

"I promise sir and you can call me Cece." I said shaking hands with him.

"I hope to see many great records, see you soon Cece.
