Chapter 34
Everything I have ever done has led me to this moment. Seeing the wide smile on my mate's face as we leave the meeting room has made everything worth it.
Sebastian and I have just finished the most important meeting of both of our careers so far. We met with the head executives at Fortune Records.
Our first point of call was to negotiate a new contract for Sebastian, one where he is representing himself. With our single being such a hit, along with Sebastian's past success, we almost had exactly what we were looking for.
What sealed the deal was my sly reminder that my development deal was expiring soon. I casually mentioned that I had my pick of recording labels to represent me with all the hype surrounding the success of the single.
We eventually settled, Sebastian and I both signing up for our next two solo albums. We were also going to be making some music together, with the label's full support.
I pull Sebastian into the bathroom, locking us into a stall for privacy.
"Shit… we really just did that…" I look up at my mate, seeing matching incredulity in his gaze.
"You really did that," he tells me, his hands on my waist. "You rocked it in there, I'm seriously impressed with how you handled that."
He bends, nuzzling my neck right by mating mark. His new favorite thing to do since our mating bond was completed.
"Maybe I should have gotten you to be my manager." He chuckles, toying with my hair.
"Speaking of managers… how mad do you think Frank will be that I went behind his back?" I worry, fiddling with the lapel on Sebastian's blazer.
"Probably not at all when he realizes what his cut will be and that you did his job for him." Sebastian makes a sound of disapproval in my ear.
It wasn't the same with me and Frank like it was with Sebastian and Karl. I actually liked working with Frank, and I wanted to keep doing so. Sebastian didn't like the idea of any man being close to me right now. It's apparently a bit of a side effect with the mating bond. Addison told me that it will fade with time though.
We met for a coffee yesterday. Once Sebastian told her we had mated the night before, Addison insisted on meeting me for coffee. It was actually really nice to speak to her properly, and to hear all about her relationship drama.
"I'm so proud of you," I tell my mate, looking up at him.
"I love you so much, Flora."
Sebastian lifts me into his arms and kisses me. I lose myself in it for a moment, before remembering where we are.
"Ugh," I say, pulling away. "Can you please take me home so you can make out with me somewhere other than a bathroom stall."
