“So, we are here with Two Way Street,” the DJ, Cooper, purred confidently into the mic. “Whose opera themed song, Opening Aria, hit number nine today. How does that make you feel, Owen? I believe it is your composition?” His voice belonged to a sultry leading man with smouldering good looks, but his face was that of a middle-aged science teacher, Emily thought, and wondered how many of his listeners were disappointed when they saw the promotion pictures that went with their favorite DJ.“All our songs are written by Owen,” James said, at full charm. DJ Cooper wasn’t immune to the drummer’s appeal, his interest more than professional, Emily observed, and was certain from the blush on James’ cheeks, that the DJ had slipped him his number in the break. “Until he walked into our band practise, we were just a cover band lacking a lead guitarist.”“And Owen, of course, brought in Emily as well,” Seb added.“Opening Aria was a bit of a joke, to be honest,” Owen answered the DJ, flushing unde

“There is a party this evening,” Aaron announced looking up from his phone. Now that they had a single in the top ten, he had rescheduled his other bands to focus on them. “Good photo opportunity, as well as a chance to meet and mingle with other bands.”“Alright,” Owen said without looking up from his notebook.The van pulled up, and the band wove their way out of the door, and onto the sidewalk. It was a busy, narrow city street, and the cars behind the van honked in outrage at the illegal parking, but the van’s driver was unflustered, handing Emily out. “Call me when you are through,” he told Aaron.The building was a gleaming tower of glass, very modern, and the foyer featured neon points of colour on the floor and walls. Aaron did not need directions but led the way into the elevator and pressed the button for the eleventh floor.“Why do they always put mirrors in elevators?” James wondered looking at the many angles of himself and adjusting his posture and the set of his jaw.“S

“Oh, yes, that would explain it,” Vice murmured, his lips somewhere near her ear. His breath on her skin had her heart racing. If he began to kiss her, she suspected she would channel Megan and just drop her underwear and go with it.“Emily’s grandmother was an opera singer,” Owen said, sternly. He disapproved entirely of the situation and stood stiffly on the edge of the conversation; not quite included, but also not quite excluded. His eyes told her he wanted her to excuse herself so they could move on and that words between them would follow. “She used to babysit Emma on the afternoons her mum couldn’t be home in time after school, and taught Emma to sing.” There was a faint frown tensing his eyebrows.“How lovely,” Vice leaned against the back of the couch. Emily could smell his aftershave, and it was like a drug. Her eyes wanted to roll back into her head. She could imagine the conversation she would be having with Megan later, with their normal roles reversed.“A photo,” she man

“Who did you want us to meet?” Emily asked, because their progress through the crowd seemed to have no purpose other than to distance them from Vice and Victor. She stole a glass of champagne off a passing waiter and threw it back.“Take it easy, Em,” Owen protested.“No one in particular,” Aaron admitted, lightly. “I was just heading off an issue. It is what managers do. Go find a closet.” He strode off, calling out someone’s name.“I can have too much to drink, if I want to,” she told Owen scowling. “I never curtail your drinking.”Owen caught her up against him and kissed her, his mouth hard and demanding against hers. “I think a closet is a marvellous idea,” he murmured huskily into her ear before pressing his lips to the pressure point lingeringly.“What is in the drinks here?” She wondered, because she thought a closet sounded like a good idea too, and not five minutes before, she had been wondering if Victor’s erection was as impressive as it had felt beneath her – which was a

“I am not entirely sure about this outfit,” Emily tugged at the bodice of her top, though it was a losing battle. The amount of fabric involved meant that tugging in one direction, revealed more skin in the other.“Uh-ah, no touching,” Peter the stylist batted her hands away. “No yanking, no tugging, no touching.” He tossed his dead straight, long bleached and perfectly toned white-blonde locks over his shoulder. She suspected it was a lace-weave wig expertly applied, but no amount of discreet scrutiny revealed his hair secrets to her less-than-expert eyes. If it wasn’t a wig, she thought, the man had the best head of hair that she had ever seen.“No bouncing, no jumping and no breathing,” she repeated by rote his instructions as he had dressed and glued her into her clothing. She did not know the secrets of his double-sided tape, but she suspected that she would not have to wax those areas of her body anytime in the near future once the clothing was removed. “And no reaching above my

There was only two weeks until the tour for their first album began, and they wanted to be ready to hit the recording studio again at the end of the tour. The band had decided that they needed to work hard and fast, whilst they were popular, make their money whilst they could. They were all aware of how fickle the industry could be.The car left the city behind, and she opened her laptop as the skyscrapers were replaced with tall coastal pine trees and the road curved around the shoreline. She put in her ear buds and opened the email file that Owen had sent her of the songs the band were working on. She looked out the window as she listened, feeling a pang as his voice came on.“Hi Em,” he said. “We are - ”“Hi Em!” James interrupted him in the background. She heard Jeremy and Seb chime in, laughing. “Saw you on TV yesterday. Silver dress, so sexy.”“Shut up,” Owen laughed. “Sorry Em. Anyway, we will run through these when you get here, but here is a bit of a rough recording to give y

“I have missed you too, Owen,” she reached up and tucked his hair back behind his ear. “Your hair is getting so long. You all look so different after just a few weeks apart. Except for James. James is exactly the same.”“So, what was it like, hanging out with Vice and Victor?” He asked and there was a hint of jealousy in his voice. There was the core of the problem, she thought. He knew that Vice and Victor made her weak and the knees, and it made him jealous. They were still at the point where he was free to do whatever and whoever he wanted, but he wanted her frozen in time, waiting for him if and when he was done with his freedom and ready for a relationship.She met his eyes. It was not the question he had wanted to ask, she thought, but she wasn’t going to give him the answer so easily. She hadn’t, after all, after that one question about Cordelia, ever asked if he took anyone else to bed. “Great. They are just… so sweet, really. I know they seem like total partiers, but it is ju

Emily pulled open the fridge and inspected the contents. It was well stocked with lots of health foods, fresh fruit and veg, and alcohol. The contradiction, she laughed, was so typical of bands in general. Vice and Victor’s kitchen fridge looked exactly the same.The doorbell rang and James went to answer it as she pulled out a bottle of sparkling water out of the fridge and wrestled with the lid. After the day she’d had, she needed to rehydrate. She could see Jeremy still swimming laps in the pool through the windows. The pool looked lovely lit against the night, and she considered having a swim after dinner, but then decided to wait until morning, exhaustion and the comfort of her pyjamas winning.“Here, I will get that.” Owen entered and took the bottle out of her hands, the action so domestic and performed so many times between them, that she didn’t even think twice about it.“Thanks. The nails…” She held out her fingers to show the acrylics clicking them together.“It always amaz
