Chapter 3 - CLARKE

Watching Sienna slowly put her pants back on made me want to do the third round. I asked her to go again, she complained that we both have work.

All dressed and satisfied, I left the bathroom and Sienna walked out a couple of seconds later. Sienna showed me to the back of the buildings where the employees stay. There were only three other people in the room, two men and a woman.

"Mackenzie, meet Jacob, Kyle, and Lisa." She said pointing them out. Jacob has blonde hair and green eyes, he's tall and slim and his glasses have tape on the bridge. His glasses make him look nerdy but he was very attractive.

Kyle had dark red hair, he died it while ago because his black roots were showing, he had dark blue eyes. He was also tall and had a big frame, his clothes made him look like a preppy rich boy.

The girl looked similar to Jacob, Lisa had blonde hair and green eyes as well as glasses. She was shorter than Sienna but had a bigger rack. Lisa was the first to introduce herself.

"Hello, Mackenzie I'm Lisa, I'll be working the same shifts as you." She said shaking my hand with a flustered look. I nod back smiling politely. I take back my hand, the feeling of this girl's touch made me uneasy, it feels like she bottles up all of her emotions and I'm the one who has to suffer being near her.

I greet the other two and both of the guys complimented my performance. Compliments on performances didn't mean much to me if I didn't care about the person, but for some reason, I appreciated their compliments.

We all talked in the back waiting for our shifts to start. And then two people walked in. The one on the right was tall with a chubby body but still in shape and he's wearing a business suit. He has slick brown hair and a big pair of brown eyes. The other was a taller man, he was about 2 inches taller than me with a large built. He has long messy light brown hair that matched his eyes, his face was recently shaved and his emotions were completely controlled.

"Thomas? What are you doing here your not supposed to be in until tomorrow." Sienna asked with a smile.

The handsome tall man answered her. "Well my friend, who was supposed to see the regular band, wanted to meet that Kenzie guy who was on stage earlier." I stand up from my chair and approach the two men. I raise my hand to shake theirs and Thomas was the first to shake it.

"Hello, why are you back here? This area is for employees only." He said politely.

"I work here, I was hired today. I'm that Kenzie guy." Thomas took his hand back and smiled. "Well then welcome aboard." He was very gentle and polite, I didn't sense any kind of hostility from him but a sense of jealousy radiated off Kyle. I look at Kyle and he avoids my gaze I laugh on the inside.

Jealousy is usually a very ugly emotion but for me, it's very low-key and one of the more refreshing emotions. In times I feel a lot of jealousy, I leave that area immediately.

I look back toward the two men and see the other man's hand reaching out for mine. I raise my eyebrows and shake his hand, I was a little embarrassed I didn't shake his after I shook Thomas's hand. "Hello Kenzie, my name is Melvin Clarke top producer at STAR entertainment. I loved your performance and I think you have the potential to become famous, Kenzie would you be interested in ha talking was completely shocked and couldn't help but nod my head.

The man smiles, grabs my arm, and moves me away from everybody else, I look back at Thomas who was smiling, and Sienna who was happy.

When we were alone we sat down on some chairs that just so happened to be there. "I recognize talent when I see it. You have it, and not just a little, your an active volcano waiting to erupt. I'm my label's top music producer, I want to sign a two-year contract with you, and in those two years you'll have access to the recording studio, we offer managers and free living space."

"Mr. Clarke, what is STAR entertainment, if I decide that's where I want to go, I need to know what it is." Melvin smiled.

"We're an entertainment industry, we make movies, produce music, we also sign dancers. Talent, true talent is what we look for."

"What are the requirements?"

"To stay with the label, you'd need to have at least one hit." I was surprised at his words to make a song in the top 10 is a 15% chance. To get one in the top 3 is only 6%. The challenge excited me. I bite my lip and grab my shirt.

"So what do you say Kenzie?"

"It's Mackenzie. And yeah I'll think about it." Melvin smiled. He hands me a card. "Call my number and if you decide to sign with my company, I'll call an Uber to pick you up. Oh, and will you be taking the room?"

"Room?' Melvin stands up and fixes the cuffs of his suit. 'We offer free living space." I gape at the word free. I mercilessly shake my head yes.

Melvin laughs and touches my head. "I like this hair dye where did you get it?" I look at him confused. "This is my natural hair color." Melvin took back his hand and asked if he could take a picture of me, he wanted to send it to his boss. I didn't mind and for fun, Melvin asked me to do a model pose, I laugh at the request but I do it.

I leaned my head back, crossed my legs, and put my hand in a thinking position. With my index finger on my cheek and the middle under my nose. Melvin took the picture and was surprised.

"You on-camera looks so natural. Here." He hands me the phone and I look at myself in the picture, the pose looked professional, I didn't know I could model. My platinum blonde hair, almost white was ruffled, I didn't have time to do my hair this morning but essentially it makes the photo look more raw and authentic. My golden eyes were the star of the picture, I had a serious expression on my face and it made my eyes pop.

I smile at how good the photo turns out and shake Melvin's hand on his way out. I was filled with excitement.

"I can't wait to be on stage again."
