Chapter 10

“So how do these things even work?” Skinny Jim asked as we zoomed down the highway in yet another boring black SUV. “What’s the whole process?”

“I think you’re over-intellectualizing it,” Jackie laughed.

I looked out the window as we drove toward the random mall where Jackie was supposed to be attending the meet-and-greet. Everything was so disorienting at this level of fame, and I was glad that even though I had a public profile, I had a practice firmly established in my own state that didn’t require a lot of travel. My entire career up until this point had revolved around being close to the ground and knowing the natural ecosystem of one place in and out. But now I was thrust into different environments every single day. I was kind of starting to understand why some touring artists really felt insane when they were away from home for long stretches.

And plane rides aside, that dream had really reminded me of everything that I’d been fighting for this time. I knew that there was something coming, but I didn’t know anything beyond that. Was it happening tomorrow night or two years down the road? And would it involve actual spaceships or would the aliens simply take over everyone’s dreams?

“What a gorgeous skyline,” Jackie said as she stared out of the window.

I had to admit, it really was gorgeous out here. I could see the mountains in the distance, and the sky was a pleasant light blue and pink color.

“Yeah,” I murmured. “Definitely a nice change from Vegas.”

“I forgot that you were just here,” Jackie giggled. “Anyway, here’s the itinerary. Security meets us at the mall. Then, we sit around wherever they tell us to and we sign autographs while we smile and try not to look bored. There will be lots of fans with cameras, so we’ll have to do some selfies as well.”

“Crazy teenage girls?” Skinny Jim asked.

“Well, I think that contractually I’m not allowed to call them that,” Jackie mused. “Plus, you’d be surprised at the demographics for my fans. There’s a surprisingly large age range.”

“But…” Skinny Jim lifted a dyed-red eyebrow.

“But yes,” Jackie laughed. “That’s the main crowd that I pull in.”

“And you’re used to this, Ollie?” Skinny Jim laughed.

“Yep,” I shrugged. “A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do when Jackie Forest comes calling.”

“Oh, stop,” the musician blushed, and I smiled at my red-headed paramour.

The starlet looked absolutely stunning, and I realized that she must’ve done her makeup when I was snoozing on the plane, because I could’ve sworn that she didn’t have pink and silver rhinestones around her eyes when we had left. Her hair was waved to perfection, and she was wearing a pink tie-dye shirt and flared hippie jeans that made her look comfy but fun at the same time. If I had been a teenage girl, I probably would’ve been obsessed with her, too.

“Here we are,” the driver said as we pulled into the mall parking lot.

I hadn’t been to a mall since I was a kid, and the place looked a little dilapidated from the outside.
