Chapter 8

Aelia's pov



-

"First item on the Agenda, your photoshoot" he said

"I really don't feel like doing anything today" I groaned

"Too bad, it comes with being an awesome pop star" he smiled sweetly

"Is Max gonna be at the interview today?" I asked

"Yes. Unfortunately his shift is the exact time you're scheduled for the radio interview" He said

Justin knew exactly why I despised the man. Max was the radio announcer of the California Wave, many adored him because he knew exactly what to say and how to hold up and conversation

But only the celebrities knew the other part of the story. He feeds off drama, the man would stop at nothing to boast his ratings. He's known for making his guests highly uncomfortable and God knows how I crack under pressure.

Justin had an interview with him a few months ago and things didn't go well. Max continued to pressure Justin about his father's death and why he didn't post anything grief worthy on his twitter but instead posted photos of his father on instagram. It's so stupid and so ridiculous but the world is full of people like that.

Justin's blood boiled and he stayed silent, trying to avoid the question but Max continued firing back with more questions about his father's death until Justin lost it. He picked up his chair and threw it right at Max's head. Honestly, I don't blame him.

But unfortunately the press manipulated the story and obviously painted Justin out to be the bad guy. Duh.

A simple public interview could make or break your career, thousands of hate came in from fans who thought Justin was being extra, they said he had 'Anger issues' and then they started doing back story on him. The fans started accusing him of hitting his Exs.

It was a hectic and crazy story, but now it was my turn with the man. I've met him once but it was just for a few seconds. Simple glances and a wave, but I could tell there was disgusting behind his smile when his eyes landed on me.

Welcome to fame. Is this what you always wanted?

The car was pulled into the parking lot, I could see a few white flashes down the street. The low white building with their Logo came into my view

"Are you ready?" he asked

"Ready"

And with that, I was out of the car. My feet moved fast as I hurried into the building. A familiar tall man stood by the door of the building, a smile tugged across my lips as I approached my security guard.

"Hey Rolland" I smiled

"Good Morning Ms Green" he said

"I hope there wasn't any trouble" I said

"Not at all ma'am, I've handled a few paparazzi that hid behind a bush. A few are lingering outside but I could deal with them if you'd like" he said, I chuckled at the man

"No need, they're not as crazy as the rest" I smiled before heading into the building

The second I pushed through the door, I was hooked by the arm and tugged into the room. I sighed and allowed them to do their thing

My eyes landed on the makeup mirror before me, a few brushes and pats danced along my face as the makeup team worked their magic.

Along came the line of dresses, today was the shoot for a brand collaboration the company had. Unfortunately Lauren wasn't available today so it was just me and-

"AELIA" the voice rang through the room

"Jeff" I faked a smile

"I see they're working their magic on your cheek, I told you we should get your cheeks done so it'll be more tighter and tone your jawline" Jeff groaned

"Jeff. I've stated multiple times that I'm never getting any plastic surgery. I need my fans to know that natural beauty and being yourself is all you need" I said.

Honestly, Jeff really wanna good manager, but sometimes I wish he had the right mindset. He pushes me to be the best that I can but sometimes I don't think he listens to a word I say. Nether the less, I still love him. There's no way I could have handled everything without him.

"Alright, time to get over into the next room" He said, I nodded and stood to my feet

I was slipped into a tight dress that stopped a little below my knee, I shrouded my body in one of the sacklike print dresses, also pink, with baby-blue flowers, that I'd bought off a street rack in Rome. I would have preferred the big red roses or the orange dahlias: this dress made me look like an expanse of wallpaper. But I wanted something inconspicuous. It was tight and showed off every inch of my curves, my blonde hair was curled and the makeup was flawless.

I made my way over into the next room with the crew behind me, I heard a few giggled but I ignored it.

My eyes landed on the photographer Leon. He's all muscle on that small frame. He has that biracial look, lighter skinned but with African features. His clothes were casual, but so impeccable they appear new. There's a coordination to his outfit that surprises me, but then I spy the bag over his shoulder- a camera, large and expensive.

"Aelia, are you ready?" the photographer asked

"Always" I smiled sweetly

I stood before the pastel pink backdrop and smiled, the photographer flashed a few photos as he directed me into different poses.

"Alright, take five" He said, I nodded and stepped off the set

My feet found its way to the sofa as I tossed my body onto it. A soft knock came from the door, I turned my head in the direction and saw Justin poking behind the wooden door, a smile crept onto my lips

"Hey Babe" he smiled and stepped in

"Hey, where have you been?" I asked, Justin chuckled and stepped closer

"I've actually been gathering a few people" he said

"You what?" I asked confused

"Ahh it sounds weird. Let me just bring them in" he chuckled, Justin pushed the door open and my jaw dropped

"MIA, ZACK" I squealed

"AELIA" they screamed and ran towards me

I stretched my arms out to hug the twins, their bodies pressed against me tightly as our screams echoed through the walls. I'm pretty sure anyone out of this room would think someone's being murdered in here

"Oh my God, I can't believe you're here" I chuckled

"Well, we got a little help from Justin. He arranged everything for us to come here and he booked us for the entire day" Zack smiled, my eyes glanced in Justin's direction

"You did this?" I whispered, he grinned widely

"I'm not done yet" he chuckled, I raised a brow at the man

"Hey hunny" a familiar voice said. My eyes went wide as I saw my father walk through the door

"Dad! MOM" I screamed, my arms threw around their bodies

I haven't seen them in so many months, His embrace was warm, and his big, strong arms seemed very protective when wrapped around my frail body. The world around me melted away as I squeezed him back, not wanting the moment to end.

"I missed you guys so much" I mumbled

"We missed you too sweetheart" Mom said

"How has everything been" I smiled

"Well your mother was actually promoted to vice president" he said

"Wow, mom that's amazing, it's about time they placed you there" I chuckled

"Thanks sweetie, your dad is actually retiring from being a Principal" she said

"He what?" I pouted

"I think it's time for me to step down and let someone else have a taste of what it's like to be in control" my father said

"Are you gonna do that in the bedroom too-"

"Mom!" I yelled

"What? We all know your father is a switch, he just tries really hard to be a top"

"MOM!" I yelled again

"Don't worry Aelia, I won't let her top me"

"UGH" I groaned

"Do y'all still use a condom?" Zack asked, I glared at the boy

"What? I'm just trying to find out if they want another Aelia running around"

"I don't think my back can manage that" my father said

"Dear God, please take me now"
