Chapter 2: management and mishaps
Austin: POV
Waking up with a throbbing headache is bad. Waking up with a throbbing headache and 50 miss calls from Jimmy is even worse. Soft snoring diverts my attention from my flashing phone to the latest blonde in my bed.
I poked her gently on the cheek. As she continued to sprawl over my bed I poked her harder. After a long winded internal debate I decided go back to sleep. Turning over though, I realised the time. 1 PM. I was meant to be at a meeting with Jimmy an hour ago. Shit.
"crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. GET OUT OF MY BED" I screeched whilst pulling jeans up to my waist.
My shouting must have caught her attention as her eyes opened.
"But Austy, why do you want me to leave? Wouldn't you rather me and you both stay… hopefully in this room" she purred whilst crawling over to me.
"I'm all right," I gave her a twenty dollar note "get a cab home." I winked at her then left.
I sped down the road on my way to meet Jimmy at his company. Ugh I really can't be bothered with this stupid meeting. I don't see what I did wrong! So what if I slept with a couple of girls. Well, couple being a slight understatement. I'm a guy! Enough said. I sprinted into the building 'star records' and sped up the stairs. I reached up to the meeting room at that point panting out of breath. I sighed deeply wishing for the meeting to be quick so I can go back to bed. After I knocked on the door I entered and saw Jimmy sat behind his desk with a furious expression on his face. Aww shit I'm in trouble.
"Austin. Monica. Moon." I cringed at the word Monica. Curse you parents for choosing that middle name. Do you hate me that much?
"Yes Jimmy?" I tried playing the innocent card. Yea that didn't work.
"Don't even think about playing the innocent card on me Austin Moon! Have you seen the tabloids? What's this about some random fan girl carrying your baby?" he held up a magazine with me on the cover and some random girl I have never seen in my life let alone slept with her! Ha! Why would I sleep with her? She's not even near my standards!
I was about to deny the whole ridiculous idea of impregnating someone when Jimmy cut off my train of thoughts by saying;
"I'm done with your 'mishaps'. I know you're not going to clean your act up – you're a lost cause." The venom laced in them words made me wince. "That is exactly why I am choosing your next 'fling'. Only this girl isn't going to just be a fling, she will play your girlfriend. In the eyes of the public you two will be the 'oh-so-adorable' couple. Behind closed doors you may do what you want. Remember Austin, if you don't go along with this plan – I don't care how 'irreplaceable' you are. I will not hesitate in dropping you from star records."
Great. Absolutely great. I'm a man whore – and I am not ashamed to admit it. I do not care for commitment – real or a simple game of charades. But if a 'girlfriend' saves my place at star records, a girlfriend I will get.
Nodding simply to indicate I understand what he's saying, I began to leave.
"oh and Austin," I whipped my head back to Jimmy, my hand still firmly placed on the door nob "the plan will begin in Miami. No more horse play until then, ok?"
Just when I thought things couldn't get worse. Sighing heavily I mumbled a yes then headed out.
