Love Song For A Vampire 27

“Bella who’s your girlfriend?”Rosalie smiled brightly hearing a man with a camera’s shouted question. She was holding hands with Bella as they made their way to a stretch limo with Sebastian and the Denali sisters following behind them. The crowd outside the hotel was huge and Rosalie couldn’t be happier. She was sure that eventually the attention would become too much but she was going to enjoy while she could. They had plenty of it so far as she and Bella were on every news outlet. Pictures and videos of their night out had been posted to social media and even people who were at the club had been interviewed about what they had seen. It was apparently a huge deal because Bella had never been romantically attached to anyone. She didn’t even have any rumors circulating about past lovers.

“Rosalie Hale.”Bella shouted back right before she climbed into the limo pulling Rosalie in next to her.

“Shit that was intense.”Kate had wanted to be famous but all the people clamorring for Bella’s attention was a little too much.

“That’s mild. After the concert there will be at least a hundred people or more waiting around the exist.”Sebastian told her.

“Well Rosalie’s name will definitely be on their lips.”Tanya said.

“We should take a selfie.”Bella suggested.

“Why should we take a selfie?”Rosalie wasn’t opposed to the idea she just wondered why Bella wanted to right then.

“That way I can officially announce you on twitter and instagram.”Bella wanted it to be known to the public that Rosalie was her girlfriend.

“That’s a great idea.”Rosalie was more than willing to have Bella tell everyone about their relationship.

“Sit close together.”Sebastian held out his phone and took a picture. He showed it to the pair.”Is that alright?”

Rosalie smiled at the picture that showed her and Bella snuggled up together. They looked completely in love.”It’s perfect.”

“What do you want the caption to be?”Sebastian asked.

“So in love with Rosalie Hale and I don’t care who knows it.”Bella told him.

“That’s freaking adorable.”Irina wished she and Sebastian were at the stage in their relationship where they were posting pictures of each other on social media. Now that Bella had granted her and her sisters the ability to age themselves it was perfectly safe for them to be out in the public. That being something the fairy did because Irina was mated to Sebastian.

“Can you tag me in it.”Rosalie was going to put in some more effort with her social media accounts. That way she could remind the public of who Bella was with. That way they didn’t get any ideas that they could have her.

“Here.”Sebastian handed Rosalie the phone.

Rosalie put her user name in and handed it back.”I’m going to take a few pictures later and post them.”

“I bet you are going to be getting a lot of followers from that post alone.”Tanya said.

“I need to set up some official accounts. Then my fans will have a way of connecting with me.”Kate had some throwaway accounts she used but wanted to have some that were connected to her. That way when she started playing with Bella’s band she would be able to talk to her fans.

Irina rolled her eyes.”What fans?”

“The millions I’m going to get once I take over playing lead guitar in Bella’s band.”Kate told her.

“You will be playing with the encore bands not my band.”Bella had a feeling that this was going to be a continuing fight with Kate.

“For now.”Kate didn’t put much stock in Bella’s statement. She knew once she proved herself Bella would put her in her band.

Before anyone could argue further with Kate the car pulled up to the venue and their door was opened by one of Bella’s body guards.”Thank you Flora.”

“It’s my pleasure your holiness.”Flora replied.

“What’s going to happen when we get inside?”Rosalie asked taking Bella’s hand and following two of her bodyguards towards the back entrance.

“We will be meeting up with the encore bands first and doing a run through of their sets. Then I have to do a sound check and make sure everything is in working order for the concert. That will take a few hours and after that we will have enough time to relax in my dressing room before the show. At the show you can either watch in the front row or at the side of the stage.”Bella explained.

Rosalie thought about which would be a better experience.”I think I want to watch from the crowd.”

“Me too.”Irina wanted a good view of her mate playing to the crowd.

“I’ll join both of you.”Tanya hadn’t been to a concert as big as Bella’s in a long time and when she did she didn’t stay long because of all the humans packed into one place. It had been too much for her control.

“Oh good Bella you’re finally here. Now we can get these contracts signed and you can tell your people to let the film crew work.”A man in ripped jeans, a t-shirt with a band Rosalie didn’t recognize, covered in a leather jacket wearing sunglasses said as he approached Bella waving a folder in his hands.

Rosalie wasn’t the only one who bristled at the man’s tone. Bella’s bodyguards immediately created a circle around the six of them.”That’s Ms. Swan to you.”

“Bella doesn’t mind if I call her Bella. We’re friends and my artist is on her record label.”The man said.

Bella put her hand on one of the guards shoulders to keep her from going after the man.”And you are?”

“I’m John Peters. I represent Trident.”John told them.

“Who are Trident?”Bella asked.

“What do you mean who are Trident? You’re performing at their show tonight.”John looked appalled that Bella didn’t know who he was talking about.

Bella raised an eyebrow.“I’m performing at their show?”

“Yeah you’re opening for them.Then they are going to let you join them for a duet with Mike.”John said.

“They are going to let me join them?”Bella wasn’t sure who this man was but she was going to have words with whoever set this up.

“First you need to sign the contracts and give the documentary people all access passes so they can film everything.”John went to hand the folder to Bella but was stopped by Sebastian.

“What contracts?”Sebastian wasn’t the one to set up the local bands for these shows and had no clue what John was talking about.

“The record contracts. I had my lawyer draw them up. Bella just needs to sign them.”John once again tried to hand the file to Bella.

Sebastian took it from him and looked through the paperwork.”Who told you that your band was getting a record contract?”

“Shelly told me to bring everything we needed with us here and you would take care of it when you came.”John told them.

“Barbra’s assistant Shelly specifically told you that if you brought contracts you drew up yourself that Bella who has no ownership in Violet Reflection Records and no authority to legally sign anything would sign documents giving you a contract with us?”Sebastian wanted to make sure he understood exactly what John was saying.

John nodded.”She said to bring what we needed to work together and what Trident needs is a record contract. If the paperwork isn’t signed then I’m afraid Bella will no longer be invited to open for us.”

“Wait you’re saying if Bella doesn’t sign those papers she can’t perform at her own sold out show?”Kate asked.

“The people who bought the tickets are paying to see Trident not Bella.”John took a step back when more than one of Bella bodyguards advanced on him.

“Stand down.”Bella didn’t need her guards to hurt the human. Not only was it not right but she didn’t need a lawsuit.

“Mr. Peters.”Sebastian began only to be cut off.

“Please call me John. We are all friends here.”John said.

“Mr. Peters.” Sebastian continued ignoring John’s statement.”I think you have the wrong idea here. Trident was picked to perform songs with Ms. Swan not the other way around. Not only that but we are in no way interested in signing your band to our record label and after speaking to you we are in no way interested in you being linked to Ms. Swan in anyway. That means that you need to take your band, your instruments and bogus contracts and leave immediately. If you don’t Ms. Swans security will be more than happy to help you.”

John’s face was bright red by the end of Sebastian’s mini speech.“What you can’t do that?!”

“I can do that. So please take your band and whatever you brought with you and leave the building.”Sebastian wasn’t going to deal with anyone being disrespectful towards his mother.

“You have no control over Trident!”John yelled in outrage.

“I may not have control over Trident but I do have control over who performs with Ms. Swan and Trident is no longer welcome to do so.”Sebastian told him.

“Do you honestly think the fans will stand for you not letting us play tonight?”John asked.

Sebastian chuckled.”I doubt the fans will even notice Trident isn’t there. Now please leave.”

“Once our lawyer is done with you we will own your record company and when we do don’t come crawling to us to get a contract.”John threatened.

“Will you please assign some people to help Mr. Peters and Trident leave the building?”Sebastian asked Bella’s guards.

“Of course Mr.Swan.”The guard made a hand motion and a dozen men and women dressed in black suits entered the room and started packing up Trident’s equipment.

“Hey don’t touch that!”One band members made a move to stop the guards from packing up his drums. The guards ignored him and continued.

“What do you think you are doing?!”Another member demanded when one of the guards put his guitar in its case.

“John what the fuck is going on?”Another asked their manager.

“I have decided that we will not be working with Bella anymore.”John told him.

“Why the hell would you do that?”The guitar player asked.

“Because we are to good to be slumming it with the likes of her.”John said.

“That’s it.”Rosalie growled as she took a step towards John. Bella’s arm around her waist stopped her.”Let me go!”

“Not going to do that.”Bella wasn’t going to release Rosalie until she calmed down.

“I’m going to kill him.”Rosalie was going to flay the man before killed him. Killed him very slowly.

“He is not the first person who has insulted me nor will he be the last. If you killed every one of them you would be very busy and I don’t want to lose time with you because you are trying to defend my honor.”Bella thought it was sweet that Rosalie was upset on her behalf but she couldn’t let an angry Rosalie loose on the world.

Rosalie took a deep breath and let it out slowly.”You’re right. Although I wish I could I can’t just kill everyone who says something bad about you.”

“Exactly.”Bella gave Rosalie a soft kiss.”Why don’t we give the guards a minute to get rid of the all mighty Trident and then we can get started with the other bands.”

“What are you going to do now that you don’t have a band for tonight?”Kate asked.

“This has happened before and when it does I play some unreleased songs.”Bella told her.

“I think the fans will like that better than having a guest artist.”Tanya said.

“They usually do.”Bella knew that when it was announced an encore band was canceled that the resell tickets for those shows went through the roof. It was something Bella wished she could put a cap on but it was out of her control.

“Come on I’ll introduce you all to the other groups.”Sebastian was going to have a talk with his people about vetting bands and singers before they were invited on the tour.

“Yeah I want to see who I’m jamming with.”Kate wasn’t going to let the Trident situation bring her down.

“Let’s hope they are better than Trident.”Rosalie grumbled. She was beginning to understand that not everyone loved her mate as much as Rosalie and Bella’s fans did. It made Rosalie fearful of what would happen if someone was more pushy than John was. She had been able to calm herself down this time but if someone was worse next time Rosalie wasn’t sure if she would be able control herself. She may not be a vampire anymore but her emotions didn’t dull with the change. The only difference was how she would be able to handle a threat. The shield would protect her from harm but would it aide her in hurting someone? She would bring it up to Bella later. If she brought it up right then Rosalie knew that Bella would think she was planning something. Rosalie was of course but she didn’t want Bella to know that.
