I wake up to the sound of my alarm.
Yes, Bairon didn't wake me up today.
I get up, go to the bathroom, do all the usual and change.
I wore a simple pink dress.
I went downstairs for breakfast and when I finished I asked the driver to take me to Paul's office.
I arrived and my father was already there.
-Hi-I said hello when I entered.
"Shylene, these are Mario and Luisa, the owners of the record company," Paul said.
"Nice Shylene," Luisa said.
"It's a pleasure," I said.
"Well, before signing the contract we want to see how you sing. Could you sing a little?" Mario asked me.
He directed us to a room that had a kind of table with several button devices, I think they were for recording. And on the other side a glass wall and a microphone.
"Well Shylene, what song will you sing?" Paul asked me.
"Melanie Martinez Toxic," I said immediately.
If I'm going to surprise them, I'm going to do it right.
-Perfect, go to the other side and put on your headphones.-Paul told me.
I did what he told me.
"Do you hear me?" I nodded. "Ready?" I gestured with my fingers saying yes.
The song started ringing in my ears, I took a deep breath and started to sing.
Baby, can't you see
I'm calling
A guy like you should wear a warning
It's dangerous
I'm falling
There's no escape
I can't wait
I need a hit
Baby, give me it
You're dangerous
I'm loving it
Too high
Can't come down
Losin 'my head
Spinnin '' round and 'round
Do you feel me now?
Oh,
The taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin 'under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic?
It's getting late
To give you up
I took a yep
From my devil's cup
Slowly, it's taking over me
Too high
Can't come down
It's in the air and it's all around
Can you feel me now?
Oh,
Taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slippin 'under.
"Perfect Shy," Paul said.
-And? -I asked.
"We want you at the record company," Mario and Luisa said.
-Get ready and in a month you will record a demo with your songs-Luisa gave me.
"She'll be ready," Paul affirmed.
-All right. Let me congratulate you Mr. Griswolf, your daughter has great potential. Let's sign the contract-Mario said.
We went back to Paul's office and Mario handed me the contract.
"Excuse me, what do I mean I must be single?"
-Yes, it's something from the record company. If you grow artistically, we will match you with someone else famous and you cannot be married for that to happen-Luisa explained.
"But I'm married," I said obvious.
-How? Aren't you a minor? -Mario asked me.
-Yes, but I'm married.
"Then the contract will not be carried out, I'm sorry," Mario said.
Paul looked at me with a face as if to say: Do it, threaten.
-Do you know that I can sue you for this? -I asked- The marital status of a person has nothing to do with work, if they leave a woman without work just because she is married, they can go to prison.
-Dear, we have more money than you and your daddy, you will not take us prisoner, and if they do, we have the best lawyers. If they sue us, we will win, we are known, they would not mess with us.-Mario said.
-Oh excuse me, did I say my name was Shylene Griswolf? I forgot I was married ... My name is Shylene Allen. Shylene Griswolf from Allen-I proudly said my last name.
"Allen?" They turned pale.
-That's right, Allen.
-Who is your husband exactly?
-Bairon Allen. Didn't you see the premiere? I can calmly sue them and win, because I have the best Harvard lawyers. And my husband will be able to buy your record company, or better. You know what? Leave, I don't want to sign a contract with you. I'll tell Bairon to buy me a record company or make me one, and he'll give it to me as a gift-I said and left.
-Do not mess with me.
-You are the first who dares to face them, after Bairon and Jace Oxford, they are the best. Therefore, of the city they are the second best.
-It won't be the only time I'll face them.
-Well, changing the subject, are you really going to ask Bairon to buy you a record label?
-I will do it.
"Bye Paul," I said when I was about to leave.
I nodded and started walking.
Now that I remember ... I never told my friends that I was getting married, nor did I tell them that I was leaving school. I didn't tell them anything and changed my number.
"Shy!" They yelled loudly.
I turned around and saw Leslie.
“Leslie!” I yelled and ran to her.
We hug.
-Where have you been all this time? Why didn't you answer me? Why didn't you tell me you were getting married? You must give me many explanations- he claimed.
-Quiet, I did not have time to explain because everything was very fast. I'll tell you, but let's have a coffee.
I rolled my eyes in amusement.
We sat down and placed our order.
"And?" She asked impatiently.
-Well, I'll tell you. When I woke up that day that I no longer went to school, my parents told me that I should marry a partner of Dad's, because his company was bankrupt and this man offered him money in exchange for my marrying him.
"Did your father sell you?" She asked incredulously.
Marja has known Ben, her best friend's brother, all her life. One night after the comments of a girl, about how attractive she is ... she began to see her with different eyes. The attraction that awakens between them, will lead them to start a fiery game ...
-Yes. Well, I had to pack my things quickly and leave because they had already gone to find me, I did not have time to say goodbye. When I went to live with Bairon, my husband, I changed my number and didn't remember to tell them anything. And then I lived with him for a few days, since I was going to get married I couldn't go to school or work anymore, believe me I asked him to let me go to school but he said no.
I looked at her badly.
-I keep explaining ... Then I got married and after insisting, he hired me a private teacher, he got me a representative and a record company. I was about to sign with the record company but I can't be married. "I said." Sorry but I couldn't tell you before.
"I'm sorry, I'll let Emma know," he said.
After having our coffees, we continue talking and waiting for Emma.
-Girls! Shy! ”He exclaimed.
-Hi Emma.
-You are a Shy bitch. You do not know the anguish I had and you out there, getting married and leaving without even warning-He scolded me.
Buffet-I'll explain- And I explained everything.
"So now you study and work?" He asked me.
"And are you married to an Allen?"
-I know. Who knew it would be real.
-You said it, once, when we told you that it would be impossible for that to happen. You said that if you wanted that to happen it would happen.- Leslie said.
"Now I remember ... When we were little, you said that if you say that it will be possible, it will be" Emma said.
"Well, I have to go, see you later," I said.
"Give us your number," Leslie said.
-Note.
I dictated my number.
"Can we go to your house this afternoon?" Emma asked me.
-Of course, at 18:30 I finish studying.
"Tell us the address," Emma said.
"Well, now girls, see you in the afternoon," I said.
--Goodbye.
