Chapter 1:
Alya POV:
I sighed as I sat down on the bar stool, resting my head on my hands rubbing my eyes.
"How the hell did this happen?"
The past couple of days had not gone at all as I had planned.
"Are you okay?" a voice spoke beside me.
"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just that my life has suddenly imploded." I said turning towards the voice, "Wait, Miles? Is that you?"
"Alya? Hey, it's good to see you." He smiled at me, pulling me into a hug.
"Yeah, you too! But, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be doing a tour in Europe right now?"
"I could ask you the same question. I thought you were supposed to be doing a concert in Toronto tonight?"
"I am." I sighed, looking down at my hands.
"Okay, so what's up?"
I avoided his eyes, this wasn't exactly something I wanted to share. Especially with my ex-boyfriend who I hadn't seen for 5 years. Not since we broke up after graduation. I mean it was a mutual decision. We had both been signed by different recording agencies and were going to be working in different countries. It just wasn't possible to keep a relationship going with all of that, so we decided it was best for us both if we just focused on our careers. And I mean, we have both been extremely successful in the past five years. Miles has put out three albums, topped the charts for 3 years running, and is currently on his second international tour. I've been really lucky as well. I had the chance to move to America after graduation. I've released four albums, worked with some of the biggest names in the industry such as Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift, and have had two international tours.
"Alya, come on. I can still tell when something is up. Talk to me. Why aren't you in Toronto finishing up your tour?"
I sighed, I guess I might as well, "Well yesterday, I decided to surprise my fiancé, so I stopped here in Montreal on the way to Toronto. But it was me who got the surprise. I caught him in bed with the drummer from my band. I of course called off the wedding. But because my fiancé was also my manager, he decided to cancel the rest of my tour, drop me from the label and blackball me from the industry, so now no one else will sign me. Oh, and did I mention that the drummer was a guy." I groaned frustrated, throwing my head into my hands again.
Miles just sat there, taking it all in, "Well shit. That's heavy."
I just glared at him, "You are not helping."
He raised his hands in surrender, "Sorry. If it makes you feel any better, the rest of my tour got cancelled as well."
"Why?"
"Uh… My band got sick… and border security thought it was some kind of disease so we weren't allowed in the country."
I couldn't help it, I burst out laughing, "Okay, that's kinda funny."
"See, got you to laugh."
I smiled at that, remembering back to that first day at Keaton when I was too nervous too sing. A lot had happened in 10 years.
"You want a drink?" Miles asked turning towards the bartender.
"Sure, I'll have a cosmo."
He nodded, "One cosmo and one beer please."
The bartender nodded and moved off the make our drinks.
"Hey Miles?"
"Yeah?"
"How'd you know that I was supposed to be in Toronto tonight?"
He laughed awkwardly, "Well… My girlfriend is kind of a huge fan of yours. I tried to get tickets for the show tonight but they were all sold out."
I nodded slowly, "Your girlfriend huh? And does she know that we used to date?"
"Ah, yeah. She actually thinks it makes me sexier." He smirked at me, while I rolled my eyes.
The bartender placed our drinks in front of us, I smiled in thanks. He just nodded back, moving onto the next customers.
"How'd you know I was supposed to be in Europe?" He looked at me suspiciously.
I laughed at that, "My label likes to keep tabs on my competition. Don't worry, I'm not a crazed stalker." I winked at him, causing him to laugh.
"So, I'm competition huh?"
"Well my label thought so, but I know better." I joked.
He feigned hurt.
"Alya Kendrick, are you saying I'm a fraud?"
"Miles Lennox, you could never be a fraud. You're the best musician I've ever known."
He blushed at that, causing me to laugh a little.
"So how long are you in Montreal for?" Miles questioned.
"Uhh... well since I currently have no where else to go, indefinitely I suppose. How about you?"
"Well my girlfriend actually just got a part in a TV series shooting here, and my label thought it would be good for me to head back to my roots, so for at least the next year."
I nodded at that. Looks like we might be seeing a lot more of each other.
"Shoot!" He exclaimed, looking down at his watch, "I've gotta run, I'm so sorry. But it was really nice seeing you again. Can I grab your number? I'd love to catch up again soon."
I smiled at him, pulling out my phone and trading it with him to exchange numbers.
"I'll catch you later." He called over his shoulder as he hurried out of the bar.
"Bye Miles", I waved as he left.
I smiled to myself, looking down at my phone noticing a new text.
From: Miles
Thnx for the catch up. Do this again soon! ?
