Chapter 6: Let's Make a Deal

It was 9:30 am and Musa was waiting for Riven to show up so she could make a deal with him, after a few minutes he arrived.

"You're early?"

"I'm an early riser"

"Ok let's get down to business; I only changed my mind for one and only one reason"

"And that reason would be?"

"My papa is sick, he has stage 5 Lung Cancer, my part time job don't cut it and no matter how many fund raiser I do I ain't going to have enough money to support my daddy's medical bill"

"So you're doing this because you have no other choice?"

"Pretty much, but there's a catch"

"What catch?"

"I ain't an easy girl, I don't like it when people tell me what to do, and I love this place with all my heart, and I just want to come here every once in a while, y'know say hi to the folks, spend time with my Friend, play with the animals and the most important, spending time with mah daddy"

"Ok before I get you to sign anything, I'm going to call my boss real quick, tell him what's going on and let's see what he says about that"

"Alright, make the call"

"Wait right here"

Riven dialed Mr. Vials number

"Music Stars Production, Mr. Vials Office, Sonia speaking"

"Sonia, it's me Riven, is Mr. Vials there?"

"Yes, I'll put you on right now"

"Hello?"

"Mr. Vials it's me Riven"

"Riven my boy how's the country life coming along?"

"Pretty good, and I found our future country star, she's an amazing singer"

"You did? Well that's great; bring her here so we can sign those papers"

"Yeah about that, you see she's not going to sign anything until you let her do what she wants"

"What do you mean by that?"

"She's not an easy one, you see her dad's sick, and she's only signing the contract to pay for her dads medical bill, and if she signs the paper she wants something in return"

"And that would be?"

"Letting her come here when she pleases and…"

"Who does this country girl think she is? Put her on phone"

"You want to speak with her?"

"Yes now put her on"

"Why are ya handing me your phone?"

"He wants to speak with you"

"Oh ok… Hello?"

"Who is this?"

"Your future country star… that is if I sign those papers"

"Listen lady I run this business and no one is going to…"

"I don't care if you run your damn business and no one can tell ya'll what to do. I will only sign those papers if I can come here as much as I please, and if you say no then I guess I'll find someone else that can understand mah needs, you want ya damn business to go big? Then let me be me, don't tell me what to do, I take mah own orders, you got that?"

"No…No one has ever spoken to me like that before"

"Huh, what an honor then"

"Lady you got yourself a deal"

"Well then pleasure doing business with ya… and mah name is Musa…. He wants to speak with you"

"Yes… oh great… that's perfect… ok thank you… ok bye"

"So?"

"Looks like you got yourself a deal country princess"

"Oh I already know that, but when do I leave?"

"What? Want to be popular already?"

"No, I just want to know how many day I got left here so I… I can say my goodbyes"

"Y'know you can only say goodbye if your never coming back, but since you'll be visiting every once in a while, it's more of a 'see you later'"

"I guess so… so when?"

"In 3 days"

"3 days?"

"Hey the big guy only gave me a week here, I already used up 4 of them"

"Fine, I'll see you?"

"Saturday at 7 pm sharp, it'll give you enough time with your friends and enough time for me call and get things ready for you"

"Saturday it is then"
