Born Super Star (open)

She finished her drink and she nodded "Your sweet thank you'" She was going to take the offer. They were both comfortable, that she knew. Grabbing her bag she walked out. "Nice and peaceful" She said simply. Looking around hardly anyone was there now. Looking at him she followed his lead.
 
"Anytime..."

He replied and waited for her to finish her drink before he started walking.

Robin took the CD case with him as he walked out of the bar towards the car pool outside. Barely any cars were parked there, except an Audi convertible,not too far away.

He walked towards it and opened the door for her and then entered into the driver's seat himself and then turned on the raido,playing some of Britney's hits.

He leaned against the comfortable seat and turning to her and smiling he said.

"Where do you live?"
 
She smiled walking out, he was a gentlemen that was for sure. Looking up at him when he asked. "120 Rose Street" She said simply, it was seven blocks down. She was used to walking, being in a car felt good for a change. "How long have you been in your work? if you don't mind me asking?"
 
120 Rose Street was not too far from the bar. It was in the suburbs, and they could get there in less than hald an hour. He started the engine and then started the car.

The journey was predominantly quiet and he went at a high speed, he seemed to prefer high speeding when driving and the silence was broken by her question.

"I have been in this industry for like 15 years. I dropped out of High School because I got into drugs, and then did underground music labels, went to jail for fighting in the streets and doping. Then I found true inspiration in the most unlikiest of all places, in the jail."

He paused at one of the traffic stops, and then unrolled his sleeve, exposing his heavy muscle and tattooes on his arms.
 
She smiled listing to him, she nodded. When he unrolled his sleeves she saw the heavy muscle and the tattoos on him. She was interested, she wondered what they meant. "Amazing how your life can change" She said simply. She enjoyed his company, she wondered what he was thinking about.
 
"Amazing, my life changed,twice, for the good and for the bad.."

His voice trailed and he stopped, as if he realized he had been talking too much as he drummed on the steering wheel and pulled back his sleeve and started driving.

He seemed pretty relaxed and disturbed at the same time as he drove and sure enough, very soon, he stopped the car and gazing out at the dark street, he said.

"I think this is close to your place. Is it ok if I drop you here?"
 
Bella saw where they were, she nodded "Its fine" She grabbed her stuff and opened up the passenger side door and got out shutting the door. She smiled looking at him. "I'll see you tomorrow" She said kindly, waving at him and headed for her apartment.
 
"Have a good night Bella."

Robin called out to her, as his dark eyes fixed on her as she exited his car and waved at him.

He waved back at her and watched as she walked towards her apartment and when she was out of sight, he started the car again and then drove off, out out sigh in barely a few minutes and then the street was all quiet again.
 
She lucked her door behind her and turned on the lights, getting changed for bed. She was tired and looked over at her clock. 9pm..no wonder why she was tired, course being nervous takes a lot out of you as well. She plopped on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
 
8:00 am, New Day

The Big Bang studio was located amidst the busy cross-streets of town, but a silver building with the BB sign at the top,distinguishable from miles away.

Robin Dawson was the director of this recording studio, which had given business to many aspiring musicians. He was seated in one of the recording rooms, having arrived early and a cup of coffee at his desk. He was facing the recording set-up where he waited patiently as the music played, by the sound engineer and the DJs.

There was a knock on the door and he held up his hand to pause the music and then responded.

"Come in."

A blonde woman, in her mid-twenties appeared, holding on to a file and she said.

"There's one Bella at the waiting room, Miss Dawson. She said she's here for a pre-recording and she knew you,but she doesn't have an appointment."

Robin nodded and then replied.

"I know her Sharon, bring her here."

The woman Sharon nodded and then headed to the waiting room and then repeated the instructions given to her.

"Bella, you can meet Mr Dawson. He's expecting you."
 
She had her stuff with her and nodded to the woman, she walked into the room and sighed some. She was surprised, she had never been to a recording studio. Mostly how she got her own copy of her cd that she used the computer and some other programs. She put her things down and was taken back. She saw him and she smiled.

"Good morning Mr Dawson" She said with a kindness in her voice.
 
"Hello Bella."

Robin greeted warmly smiling at her as she entered his recording room and seemed taken in by the recording equipments he had in the room.

"Meet Mike, the Sound Engineer, he's the man you go to,when any of the equipments here is not in order."

He introduced her to a tall,bald man standing nearby and then gesturing to the the DJ in the room, a porky looking,dark-skinned man, he said.

"That's Big B, he does the recording and editing. Guys meet my newest star, Bella."

The man, Big B sniggered as he looked at Bella and he commented, his voice also deep.

"Bella? That sounds like pussy name,for a star...aint got any better ones? Like ya know, something cooler and funkier, a nick?"
 
She enjoyed meeting more people, they seemed nice. Which made her even more happy to be there. She placed her hands on her hip and when they said her name was a pussy name. She didn't know what nick name. She had a couple but they most likely even be worse. "A nick name huh?" She said simply.

"I'll leave the nick names to you, since I don't wanna seem weak and stupid"
 
Big B laughed loudly at the reaction of Bella as he called her name pussy and Robin intrude and then shook his head and said.

"Ignore him Bella, he's always making such jokes."

"Boss, ya know, I like fuckin' around with greenies, but just givin' tips ya know, tips to make ya big one day."

Big B replied and smiled,exposing his blackened teeth and then Robin replied.

"Here, we leave the freedom to our artists, so fear not to share with us what you see fit. I personally see no wrong in your name Bella, but if you have some nicknames you see fit, you can share with me."
 
She laughed by the guys and smiled, when it came down to a name. She wanted to name herself something. But she didn't know what to use, thinking for a moment she sighed softly. "Im not good with names" She chuckled at what came in her head. "Lady B" She laughed and leaned against the wall. There wasn't anything else she could come up with. She ran her fingers in her hair, making sure she looked ok.
 
"Nice on G."

Big B replied loudly and laughed very loudly, hardly mockingly as he heard Bella's respond and he joked.

"Ya know, they homies gonna wonder if ya my sissa..but ya look no thing like me."

Robin smiled and then shook his head at Big B and then nodded in approval to Bella and said.

"You and your jokes B. Ok Lady B, step into one of the recording booths and familiarise with the equipments, these is going to be where we are going to take you to stardom. So get used to them and these puk...sorry people..."

Big B gave Robin the finger and then he laughed it off as a joke and then led Bella to one of the recording booths and opened it up and waited outside as he allowed her to enter and get a good look inside.
 
she followed and sighed softly, she walked around the room. There were so many wonderful things in there. She couldn't help but be over whelmed, she took everything in slowly, a soft smile on her face. She dragged her fingers lightly over the wall. Bella saw the electronics and she grew even more excited, god knows what would happen here. No one could ever prepare for this kind of thing.

"Nice place" She said

"Very nice" Bella said again, enjoying the room.
 
"Good to see you like it Bella."

Robin said, now he had walked over to her and stood by her side as she inspected the room and Big B remarked.

"So aint gonna tell me what she does?"

"You'd see for you self soon.."

Robin replied with a smile and then turned to Bella and said.

"I believe what's left is your performance. Mind getting dressed and then performing for us all?"
 
She listened to what he said, she nodded to them. She had everything with her and she meant everything. She went into the other room and got dressed. She looked at her reflection in the mirror. She smiled at herself, she enjoyed the feeling her excitement had given her. She came out and sighed a bit, she didn't know which song to do, she thought for a moment.

"I hope you approve" She said simply.
 
The guys went back to their positions and waited as Bella went to get dressed and seemed to be in a discussion of a sort when he returned and all eyes were on her and Big B was the first one to whistle and said crudly.

"I'd fuck her anyday G."

Mike groaned at the respond of Big B and Robin just laughed it off and said.

"Leave her alone B."

He turned to Bella and nodded in approval and replied.

"You look great. Leave your mind off everything else except your performance and approval is confirmed."
 
She looked at them, they were a funny bunch. Looking up she nodded to what was said to her. She closed her eyes for a moment, a soft smile seen on her face. She heard the music coming on. She got into her role easily, she had made this song up a little bit ago. She thought it would be fitting for it.

She went up to the guys as she sang, she danced. Her eyes never left Robin's eyes. She performed for him, she raised her hand up to him as she sang she heard the song end.
 
As the song started playing and she started performing, all eyes on fixed on her, totally undivided and to Robin, this song reminded him of Lady Gaga strongly but in a new style and it was a sight indeed.

When her performance ended, all went silent and then the guys whistled at her and Robin stood up and applauded her and said,smiling.

"It was a great performance!"

He turned to Mike and asked him, he behind the camera.

"Is it recorded Mike?"

Mike gave him a thumbs up and Robin turned to Bella and said, impressed.

"It is nice. Do you have any of the Japanese numbers you want to perform for us?"
 
She looked up them, she was impressed herself and nodded. She took out a special cd and gave it to Mike.

"You will hear the american. I put it in English, just follow along" She said with a kind smile. When she heard the music start she began to sing. She sang with all her skill, singing in Japanese was very difficult. The guitar in the background matched her perfectly. She fell to her knees as she performed. She held out her other arm and there was a red ban on her wrist with a butterfly on it. Slowly standing she ended it.
 
Clearly even if anyone in the room did not understand a word of Japanese, they were not in the least displaying any signs of it as they watched Bella's second performance.

Robin for one had all his attention one her, as he had earlier if not more enthusiastic, started to move his body along with her, like he was influenced by her and then when she ended he turned to the guys and asked.

"So guys is that approval?

Mike roared his approval and Big B replied in his usual swagger.

"Fuck hell, if that's not approval, shoot my on my ass, G!"

Robin smiled and then turned to Bella and gave her two thumbs up and said.

"You heard it. You got the contract. Now make arrangement for your videos and costumes and anything else you need. I'd personally arrange it for you,anytime 24/7..and as for your advance payment for the contract, here have this, 12,786 dollars for now. When the project ends, you'd get the rest after we get the 40% as per the contract."

He pulled out a slip of cheque,signed by him and passed to Bella.
 
She listened to what he said and nodded, but when she saw the money "Jesus, ive never had this much in my life. " She had a huge smile on her face, she felt like kissing everyone. But that was just in her head. Looking up at him she could resist, she went up Robin and kissed him.

"Thank you so much Ro...I mean Mr Dawson" She laughed
