Chapter Seven

“Just relax. I promise, nobody there is going to bite you.” Damien was navigating traffic to get to Rising Star, but it was impossible to ignore the tension that had taken over Brianna. It made her a completely different person compared to who she was when she was playing with Stephanie, and he was worried for her.

“I’m sorry, I’m just a little anxious. I’ve never done anything like this before.” She rubbed her fingers nervously across her lips.

Damien forced his eyes away, finding the gesture far too seductive. “Don’t worry. This band has been playing together for a bit, but they’re barely professionals themselves. You listened to all the songs?” He wondered if Brianna realized what an advantage she had in having access to the songs ahead of time. Some artists were forced to learn on-the-go. Maybe he wasn’t being fair by doing her that favor, but he really wanted this to work.

“More times than I can count.”

“Good. Then you’ll be fine.” Damien switched lanes to get around a semi. Since his mom had Stephanie, he’d decided he would drive Brianna to the studio in the Porsche. It was fast and smooth, and he enjoyed the ride, but he realized it probably looked like he was showing off. Brianna, however, was too nervous to notice.

“I hope so.”

Deciding this was the best time to bring up something that had been weighing on his mind, Damien turned down the volume on The Psychedelic Furs’ new track emanating from the speakers, “The Ghost In You.”

“I want you to know that I’m excited for you, but I also don’t know what I’m going to do if you get this gig. I’m not looking forward to hiring a new au pair.”

Brianna blushed, and he once again had to make sure he kept his focus on the road. “I’m sure you won’t have anything to worry about, but I would never leave Stephanie until I knew you had someone else lined up for her.”

How had he managed to find someone who was so kind and considerate? There just wasn’t anyone else in Los Angeles county like her. “I appreciate that. Really. But don’t sell yourself short; there’s a chance this could all work out for you. Today, you’ll meet a few people who will be working on the recording. They’re all very cool, very relaxed, and they won’t be the ones judging you. It’s their job to make sure you and the band sound as good as possible. You’ll meet the band, and you guys will go in the booth. Just relax and do what you do naturally.”

She pulled in a deep breath through her nose and let it out slowly through her mouth. She must have been even more nervous than he had anticipated. “I know I shouldn’t be asking this, but how long will it be until we know something?”

He tapped his finger against the steering wheel. Technically, a lot of this decision was riding on his shoulders. No one would really say anything if he made the call on his own, but he wanted to get the president involved.
