I get out of the shower and wrap a towel around my waist. I walk out to the living room to find Nathaniel reading my songbook. I run toward him and rip the book from his hands.
"Don't touch my book."
"Oh, now I found what gets on your nerves, how amusing." He said with an evil smile. "And you're only wearing a towel? Ever heard of clothes you pervert." I twitch at his words.
"It's my house I'll walk around naked if I want. If you don't like it, I'm willing to kick a stupid freeloader out." I say bluntly. I walk away and my towel falls. His whistles are mocking, and I cover myself again.
I give Nathaniel the finger, he laughs at me and takes off his shirt. "What are you doing!" I yell.
"Well I have seen your body twice, now it's only fair if you see mine."
"No thank you, why would I want to see nothing." He unbuttons his pants. "That hurt my feelings." He said pouting.
"This is not your place, take off another layer of clothing and I'll kick you out."
"How? I'm stronger than you." He takes off his boxers. I slap my face because he was the most irritating person I've ever met. Then I look and was slightly impressed. "Get out of my apartment." Nathaniel turns around in a circle.
I grab the closest thing I could find and throw it at him. A purple stuffed animal hit him in the face and he flops on the couch.
"That's my couch! Get your naked body off of it!" I go to him and grab his arm. I try to pull him up but he justs laughs and pulls me. I fall onto the couch and Nathaniel grabs my face.
"Why did you stay?"
"What?" I was angry at him. I tried to push him off but he held onto my face.
"If you didn't want to see, you could just have left, but you stayed." I look at him surprised. "Just admit it you wanted a peek, I won't be angry." He laughs. A vein on my forehead shows.
"You're unbelievably full of yourself. Fuck, your ego needs to fall down a flight of stairs." He smiles and sits up with my songbook in his hands. That's what he was doing? Distracting me from my book so he could steal it. He stands up grabs his clothes and runs to my bathroom. I chase after him.
"Jax! Give me my book back!"
"I'm changing leave me alone." He locks the door.
"Oh my god, I seriously want to kill you!"
I give up trying to get my book back and go to my room. I go through my clothes and pull out a shirt that I haven't worn in a while. It was a light gray turtle neck long-sleeved shirt that glued to my skin. I don't wear this often because it usually attracts a lot of attention. I match the shirt with a tight black pair of ripped jeans. I put on black socks and some white and black sneakers.
Looking in the mirror everything was the same. My hair was getting a little too long for my liking. I take off my shirt to not get it full of hair and I look for a pair of scissors. Once I found them I cut my hair. My mom is a hairdresser, so I knew how to cut my own and other people's hair.
Once I was done cutting my hair I put my shirt back on. My hair was shorter and my bangs were finally bearable, they fliped to the side naturally. It was still winter so I put on my long marron jacket made from cashmere.
I go through my door that is attached to the bathroom. It was unlocked and I found Nathaniel standing there facing the door reading my book. I was glad to see that he was fully clothed.
"I was an idiot for thinking you were talentless, these songs are really good." He says sincerely. I walk up to him to see what song he was looking at. He was reading my newest one.
"That one, I just finished that one yesterday," I say pointing at the page. Nathaniel looks at me and shuts the book.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"I was planning to go for a walk, if you come with me I can tell you how to fix your singing problem."
"It's not a problem, I'm still the lead singer for a reason."
"Well, the other three members are evolving and so am I. If you don't learn how to sing with emotion, you'll be left in the dust while I surpass you."
Nathaniel was speechless, I had a way with words and I got to him. He left the bathroom and put on a pair of black boots and his signature black jacket. All his clothes were black. But even though he was wearing dark clothing, he'll always be the one standing out in the crowd.
"There is no way in hell I'm letting a talentless twit surpass me." Even though he insulted me, I smile. I was glad that he wasn't letting his pride cloud his judgment. We left together after putting on some winter accessory's and walked outside the building.
As usual, there were paparazzi ready and waiting for a celebrity to walk out the company doors. Nathaniel was wearing sunglasses and a black hat. I wore my gloves, a scarf, and my black hat that had a white pompom on top.
We were surrounded by paparazzi and a couple even tried to talk to me.
"Who are you? Are you a new member of MNKS? Or are you Nathaniel's lover?"
"Lover? Oh god no, this lump of clay and I are just friends and as for who I am. My name is Mackenzie Barnes, a new artist signed by STAR entertainment about three days ago. I'm looking forward to my future with the company, with high hopes of reaching the top."
"Nathaniel, what are your thoughts about Mackenzie's hopes."
Nathaniel said nothing while watching Mackenzie smile on camera. Watching him, he couldn't help but smile at Mackenzie, and behind his sunglasses were sparkling eyes.
