Chapter 3: Loren has to make a decision

LOREN'S POV

- Tate Home -

I'm doing my homework when someone knocks on the door. I don't stand up, because I knows my mom is home. A few minutes later, my mom knocks on my bedroom door. Kelly is in the living room and she wants to talk to me. Wondering what it is about, I follow my mom into our living room and I see Kelly standing there.

Loren: Hey Kelly.

Kelly: Hey Loren, I want to talk to you about your career.

Loren: My career?

Kelly: Yes, did you think about pursuing a career in music?

Loren: As a matter of fact, I did. I decided to put college on hold for a year.

Kelly: That's great! I wanted to ask you something. I think it's best when your mom comes sit with us at the table.

We all sit down at the table. Kelly is making me nervous. What does she want to ask me and has it something to do with my career in music?

Kelly: So, Loren, can I be your manager? I'll be what Jake is for Eddie. I'll manage your songs, contacts with labels and performances. First thing to start of with is your first single.

I'm flabbergasted. Kelly wants to be my manager. I didn't expect a manager. I'm so excited.

Loren: Wow, you really want to be my manager?

Kelly: Yes I do, I see great potential in you. You have a great voice and you're beautiful. You could really make it in this business.

I don't know what to say. I look at my mom. She seems happy, but I can see the concern in her eyes. Maybe it's best to think about this and discuss this with my mom in private.

Loren: I don't wanna be ungrateful or anything, but can I think about it? This is a huge decision and I wanna make a good one. So can I first think about it?

Kelly: Off course, just don't take too long. We want to profit from you winning Eddie's contest now that it's still hot news.

Loren: I won't take too long, I just need to think about it really good.

Kelly: Okay. You call me when you made your decision? Oh and don't talk to Jake about it at the video shoot tomorrow. He doesn't want to talk about that kind of business while shooting.

Loren: The video shoot is tomorrow?

Kelly: Yes, I assumed they already told you.

Loren: No, I didn't know, but thanks for the info.

Kelly: I'm sure Jake or Steven will call you later today to inform you.

Loren: Yeah you're right. So I'll think about your offer and I'll call you to tell you my decision.

Kelly leaves. Of course they wouldn't call me right away to tell me the video shoot is tomorrow. I don't have an important role in it. Maybe they already know Kelly would come here and she would tell me about it. That's when my phone rings. I don't recognize the number, but I pick up.

Loren: This is Loren!

Guy: Hey Loren. This is Steven, Jake's assistant. I'm just calling you to inform that the video shoot is tomorrow. There will be rehearsals first. So you need to be there at eleven.

Loren: Okay, thank you for calling. I'll be there.

So that's what Steven sounds like. I have to tell Mel about the video shoot tomorrow. Maybe I can call her and ask her to meet me at the Café.

Melissa: Hey Lo, what are you up to?

Loren: Hey Mel. Can we meet at the Café at five? I have some amazing news to tell you.

Melissa: Okay you're making me curious. I'll be there in five, if I can get past terror Lisa.

I take my bag and say goodbye to my mom. When I get home we need to talk about Kelly being my manager. First I have to tell Mel. She will be so surprised and happy. Adam and I have another surprise for her in store, but that's for tonight. It's Mel's birthday tomorrow and we want to celebrate it tonight at the Café. Nothing big, just a small get together. We'll have some cake and drinks with only our friends. I have the perfect gift for Mel. She's gonna love it. I arrive at the Café, Mel isn't there yet, but I see a familiar face. It's Cam. Maybe I can invite him to Melissa's surprise tonight.

- AROMA CAFÉ -

Loren: Hey Cam!

Camron: Hey Loren, I didn't see you come in. How are you?

Loren: A little bit busy since I won the contest.

Camron: I noticed.

Loren: What do you mean by that?

Camron: Nothing. Just we need to have another tutor session. But the last couple of days I haven't seen you around to make an appointment.

Loren: Sorry, it's just I'm really busy these days. First of all shooting Eddie's music video for Something in the air and second my own career that's starting of now. I honestly don't know if I have the time to tutor you anymore.

Camron: It's okay, I understand.

Cam looks a little bit disappointed. Mel told me a hundred times that Cam has a crush on me, but I'm really not so sure about it. And if he does, I don't know if I like him back. Maybe I need to get to know him a little better. I can do that by inviting him for tonight.

Loren: Adam and I have a surprise planned for Melissa's birthday. Her birthday is officially tomorrow, but we're celebrating it tonight, here. Do you want to come and celebrate with us?

Camron: Off course. What time should I be here?

Loren: Around seven. Mel's coming our way, don't mention anything.

Melissa: Don't mention what?

Loren: It's about what I called you for, but I want to tell you myself.

Camron: It's cool. I have to go anyway, lacrosse practice. See you in school, girls.

When Cam leaves, Mel sits down. She's waiting for me to say something. She really wants to know what I have to say. I love seeing her this way, but I really need to tell her.

I will keep updating this story and my other stories. Love you guys!
