As the door widened and I cought my first glimpse inside, I lost all sense of professionalism and honestly felt my jaw relax and my mouth open without me having any control. The house was beautiful, spacious, modern and loud. My last thought snapped me back in to reality. I wasn't at all used to homes like this but even I was sure they weren't usually as loud as this. I could hear laughter, and yelling but couldn't make out anything specific.Just chaotic noise.

I followed Michael down stairs, and out into the back yard. Pool, hot tub, breathtaking view of LA. Check, check, check, he led me to what looked like a separate quarters that came off the back pool yard.

'Take a seat' the young man smiled. 'ill just go and get Jaden and we will start'

Taking a seat in one of the single arm chairs, I gathered my thoughts. I was starting to get nervous. This was The Sway house, Jaden was one of the extremely famous kids that had seemed to come up in Hollywood overnight, making their fame as content creators on various social media platforms, such as Tiktok and Instagram. He was a really really big deal. The house was a regular subject on all the gossip pages, and had even made it into the New York Times, with a special mention from the LA mayor after the boys had a massive party mid covid pandemic. They had had their water and power switched off as punishment. I knew all this already, there wasn't many people in the world that didn't. Only now though was my nerves starting to kick in.

I pulled out my laptop and opened my portfolio, hearing a noise I automatically looked up over the screen and out into the pool yard. There he was. 19 years old, medium height, smaller build but seen as though he didn't have a shirt on, I could see he was gorgeously defined, his hair was cut into the fashion that all the young guys had, short at the back and big at the front, hanging down into their eyes, he had blonde highlights through the front. Elegant butterfly's were tattooed from his wrist to his shoulder on one of his arms. But the feature that had me blushing, embarrassed, that took me right back to being a teenage girl was the biggest whitest smile from ear to ear and just to make me question what I was seeing right in front of me, the most beautiful sparkling blue eyes. Pull yourself together Dylan, this is a job, this is how you pay your bills, he is off limits, even for the involuntary fantasy your mind was trying to have with him right now. I took as deep breath as he walked into the room, stood up and held out my hand

'nice to meet you Jaden, I'm Dylan Sosa'

Our eyes met and something inside me snapped, something id never felt before in my 28 years of life. I sware he felt he could tell, his eyes gazed into mine for what felt like an absurd amount of time for a hand shake. We sat down opposite each other and as Michael began to talk, our eyes still had not broken off of each others. Their was the smallest part of my brain telling me to focus, listen, look away. But I couldn't, and neither did he. What on earth was going on. I had to do something, I had to focus. I somehow managed to hand my portfolio over to Michael, still mute, still staring at Jaden who also had not said a word. I had to do something, with all my inner strength I ripped my eyes away from Jaden's and took out my phone, I set up the meeting record feature so I didn't miss anything else. Did I hit my head this morning? Did we smoke too much weed last night? Why was I fantasizing about this kid staring deep into my soul? I blinked, once, twice, three times as hard as I could. I looked back up at Jaden, he was still staring. I wasn't imagining this, I had to pull this meeting back to where it should be.

I focused with everything I had on what Michael was saying.

'So, in saying all that, we need to bring Jaden to a new audience, YouTube is the way every one is heading and with his music career as well, we need him to be on the platform. your portfolio in filming is extensive and good. To be honest, I always go through the company you work for and if they sent you here I know you will be more then capable to film and edit Jaden's Vlogging. We would like to suggest you start ASAP, with a two week trial to be sure you are a good fit. If so it would be permanent work from there on out, following Jaden where ever his professional life takes him, branding him to the world in a unique way. We want the best for him, we demand it'
