I’m not on my game this week, apparently. Much like Onyx Kiddrick, Jade Lennon is not at all what I expected. Maybe I had been a little harsh with my initial thought of her being a groupie, or since The Kid is not known to have ever had a steady relationship, an upscale escort. Jade is neither of those things, and I can tell she knows that is exactly what I had been expecting. In truth, since the minute she walked into my office, two steps ahead of Onyx, and had actually read her contract, she’s been a breath of fresh air. She made her own introduction to me, giving Onyx a slight dig for talking about her yesterday without including her. I can see the tension radiating off her as she puts some distance between Onyx and herself. Jade is also gorgeous, and everything I wish I looked like. Beautiful, flawless tanned skin, bright green eyes, and a body to die for. I can see from her curves and her posture that she is, in fact, a dancer; however, she is not thin or toned like a ballerina. Her black hair shines under the lights of the hotel room, and she plays with the ends of it while holding her contract. Onyx is either oblivious or ignoring the attitude she is throwing his way.

“Onyx, you can sign here.” I point to his line, after giving him a minute to look things over. His fingers grab onto the pen I offer, and it’s the first time I notice that even his fingers are tattooed.

“Ms. Lennon,” I turn to Jade, and she almost startles at my use of her surname with respect. “Are you in agreement to this contract?”

Her brow arches and her eyes slide to Onyx before she gazes back at me. “He said you think I’m being forced. It’s more like I’m being bribed and coerced.”

“Jade,” Onyx says her name in a low tone that raises goosebumps on her skin. My eyes fly to her face, expecting a look of fear, only to find her pupils blown and her cheeks pink.

“Yes, Ms. Rosen, I am in agreement to the contract,” Jade answers me, her expression now weary.

“I told Onyx if you aren’t in agreement, I won’t take either contract. This is all up to you.” I glance at Onyx and see an equal amount of respect on his face as well as annoyance, probably for me butting into whatever type of relationship squabble they are having.

Jade sighs then gives me her first genuine smile since she entered the room, before picking up her own gold pen and signing her name on the dotted line. We all shake hands before they leave, and I make a plan to meet with Onyx next week to go over his schedule for the upcoming weeks while we set up his recording time. Jade is quiet during the process, but she does give me another smile when they leave.

My phone vibrates a minute after, and I smirk when I see the caller.
