Chapter 18 VIOLET

It was all well and good to come up with this brilliant plan to compete for rock glory, but implementing it was a whole other issue.

Firstly, I had to get both guys together to agree on dates. You'd think I could just pick two random Saturday nights and that would be end of it but that was far from the truth of the situation.

Every date I picked was wrong for some reason.

"There's that festival on the waterfront that night," Razer said about the first date I picked. "That's going to drain off some of our crowd."

He'd perched himself on the edge of my desk, pushing some papers aside. I really didn't feel comfortable with that but, when I'd told him to move it, he'd got up and paced the room for a few minutes then had sat back down. The sitting was much preferable to the pacing. It was like having a caged animal in my office.

Alex sat back on the sofa, his heavily booted foot resting on his other knee. He'd not been as vocal against my suggestions as Razer had been but he was no easier to deal with either.

I'd really have preferred not to have had this meeting in my space but they'd both insisted, as though coming to my office would give them access to the inner part of me. Which it would not.

I suggested another date to Razer.

The next date didn't work for him either.

Then, "that's not giving me enough time to get my band together," from Alex. "I've got a bassist and I wanted a few other guys but with just three of us, I think we can do it. It is disadvantaging me though. My music works best with a more rounded out group."

"Whatever, mate. We're a three piece so that makes it fair." Razer picked up my stapler and spun it in his hand. I fought the impulse to snatch it off him.

"Well, we can't blow it out too far. People have short attention spans. No one cares about something happening next year. So, you guys go over this calendar until you find something you're both happy with, while I go get a drink."

I handed them the printout I'd made of the roster for the next few months with all the suitable dates highlighted, and pushed past Razer to get out the door. I needed a drink and, mostly, I needed no bloody rockers around me.

"They're driving me nuts," I complained to Carlie. "This is just the beginning too. It's going to be a nightmare. Why the hell did I agree to this?"

Carlie shrugged. She had no idea why I'd really agreed to the arrangement, of course. I hadn't told her what Chuck had said. I didn't want her worrying over her job – and it seemed kinda wrong that I'd had that decision in my hands. It might make her feel a bit weird with me.

"Come on, Vi, you love it. There's not really a downside to this."

"Well, there sure as hell isn't an upside.
