Chapter 2
Meanwhile in Christin’s office…
“Hey guys.” Christin said as she got Mark, Travis, and Tom walked in.
Christin had known the guys since the beginning of the band. Tom said that she was the reason there was a band. The reasoning for that was before Christin got up into the important jobs in The Firm, she was a band manager that The Firm issued out the bands looking for managers. Well Christin knew them before the guys before they were Blink 182. She used to party with them in college. When she got her first management gig, she was so excited she took the guys out to party. When they heard she was a manager, Mark got a brilliant idea, so he called it. They (Mark, Tom, and Travis,) should form a band. They could sign with The Firm and request Christin as a manager. This way they could see her, particularly party with her, whenever they wanted to. That was how Blink 182 was formed.(AN: I know that isn't true but it is fiction, roll with it)
“Hey Christin. Long time no see.” Mark said as he gave Christin a hug.
“Yeah. Three whoooooole months. I don’t know how I ever survived.” She exaggerated. Then they all laughed. “Okay. We can talk later but now down to business.”
“Yes Maam.” Tom said giving her a salute.
“Shut Up. I’m serious. Now about your contracts, you are going to renew, aren’t you?”
“Keep talking like that and we won’t.” Mark said teasingly.
“Like what?” Christin said flirty but oh so innocently.
“Like-” Mark said laughing but was cut off by a knock on the office door.
“Come in” Christin said in a rather annoyed voice.
“Christin, I wanna- Oh sorry. Am I interrupting?” Amanda walked in the office knowing darn well she was interrupting.
“Oh no, not at all Amanda. Guys this is Amanda. She works here. Amanda this is Mark, Travis, and Tom.” Christin introduce her to them by pointing to each of them. Everyone managed a friendly hello. “Amanda was there something I could help you with?”
“Oh it can wait.” Amanda said while still looking at the guys.
“OK. Amanda, go see if they fax over those papers yet.” Christin said in a tone the Amanda understood as get-your-ass-out-of-here-are-you-are-going-to-die.
“Ohhh. Ok. Bye guys it was nice meeting you.” Amanda said in a chipper voice. Then she walked out as the guys said “Yeah.” and “Nice meeting you.”
As soon as the door closed behind Amanda, Christin said, “Ok. Back to business. Contact renewals,” as she headed each of them a packet of papers. “Read over these and when you come back next week, we will make any changes if need be.”
“Oh man. We have to come see YOU again next week.” Tom whined teasingly.
“Oh no. I won’t be here next week. You get to see Amanda again next week.”
“WHAT?” came form all 3 guys.
“Where are you going?” Travis asked.
“Oh the company is sending me to Orlando to one of there new offices to get it straighten out. Since I’ll be gone and Amanda will still be here and I trust her a lot, she will work with you.”
The guys really loved working with Christin. She was their inspiration. So when they found out that she wasn’t going to be working with them, they tried to make her stay.
“But Christin,” Tom said, “Why don’t you delay your trip till our meeting next week.”
“Sorry guys. I’ve delayed it as long as I could. I really wanted to work with you too but the thing is that the new office being in Orlando and the Backstreet Boys, looking for a manager, they want someone there who they think can impress them. I personally don’t know who the hell they are or their music but hey The Firm pays me to do what they say, and they say that the Backstreet Boys can do them a lot of business so I have no choice in the matter.” Christin explained.
“Well then I guess you have no choice. But since you’re but not going to be here next week I might as well sign this damn contract. I sure in the hell ain’t reading over it and I trust you.” Travis said with a bit of disappointment in his voice. He picked up a pen and signed his name on the package of papers that Christin had handed him earlier. Tom and Mark did the same. Then Mark glanced down at his watch and said, “Uh Oh.”
“What?" Christin, Tom, and Travis asked at the same time.
“We’re late! We were supposed to be at the press conference 5 minutes ago to prepare. It starts in 15 minutes.” Mark said as he got up and gave Christin a hug and a kiss. Travis and Tom did the same. When they all finished, they all walked out of the office in a hurry.
Christin followed the guys out of her office and caught site of Amanda, who was busy filing papers.
“What was that all about Miss Amanda Ashford?” Christin said in a teasing voice.
“What was what all about?” Amanda tries to sound innocent, but had yet to master it like Christin. Amanda knew damn well what Christin was talking about though.
“You know, interrupting a meeting, just to meet the guys.” Christin said acting like she was reminding Amanda.
“Damn girl. You know me to well.”
“Oh yeah, well I known you for what um 16 years, I should. If I didn’t you would kick my ass.” Christin said playfully. “Well what about the new guy.”
“Oh girl, he is hott. But he also looks familiar. I can’t put my finger on it but I have seen him somewhere before.” Amanda said while think hard.
Christin seeing that Amanda was thinking decided to go see the new guy named Alex.
