Sailor Grace Sellis.

"Miss Sellis, may I speak with you privately for a moment?" Margaret his publicist asks me as soon as I sit down and Tucker takes the seat beside me. 

I let out a long sigh. "I'm sorry I called you a bitch. But you were being a bitch Margaret." I roll my eyes. 

I swear Tucker hides a laugh with a cough as Margaret just looks at me and takes a deep breath. 

"That's not what I wish to discuss Miss Sellis, tensions are clearly high, and yes. I'm very much a bitch. Because it's my job. May I talk to you please?" she asks and stands and gestures towards the door and I look at Tucker. 

"You don't have to." he says. "We can just sign the papers. " 

But fucking curiosity killed the cat and all that so I huff and push to my feet once again and follow Miss stick up her ass Margaret to the hall and into the living area, where she gestures to the plush l shaped couch. I take a seat. 

She sits a cushion away and turns to me. 

"Miss Sellis... I need you take the deal with us." she says and I lean back and cross my arms over my chest and then one leg over the other. 

"No thanks." I say. 

"Miss Sellis... the producers and executives, are aware of this little...mishap already....if you don't take the deal....they're going to drop Tucker. Unless we can spin this as love at first sight, and you two being a happy pair of newlyweds, they're going to terminate his contract." she says. 

"So? He's got millions. Why should I care if he loses ONE job?" I ask. 

"Because you like him, and he likes you." she says and I toss my eyes her way.

"No, I do not." I argue, even though, that's a bold faced lie. I totally liked him, at least a little bit, up until twenty minutes ago when they started to Pretty Woman me. 

"Really?" she asks, cocking her head. "So that was a fake smile you two shared, I only imagined the , forvgive me..sickening heart eyes you two were giving one another before sharing a pre meeting romp in his bedroom?" she asks. 

I flick my hand in the air as if not wanting to accept it, nor deny it. 

"Listen, why don't we cut the deal to six months...just six months....and then we can revisit it a month before the end to see if you want to extend to the full year." 

"Tucker has made a lot of mistake recently, and it shouldnt fall on you to help any of us clear up the mess he's made for himself....but the business is not forgiving. Especially in this climate, where the world is just waiting to cancel people for their choices or mistakes, or even their own beliefs" she huffs. 

"I don't know if you know much about his background, but Tucker went through a lot to get where he is now. It's the only reason I put up with him quite honestly. Because he's a good person , just...a royal pain in the ass sometimes. I understand that throwing money at you to work with us on this spin is insulting...but I dont have time for niceties or coddling people Miss Sellis....I'm frank and to the point, and it can come off uncaring and offensive." she says and I just look at her. 

"I don't want his money." I say. 

"We know." She says. "but I do reccomend you take it anyways if you decide to take the deal. You'll be expected to go to several events with him, a lot of your time will belong to putting on a show, if you will, for the press and social media, and paps. " she says and I wince.

"Exactly." she says. "It'll probably be stressful for you. Which is why you should most definitely be compensated for your time and cooperation." she says and I sigh. 

"Saying this will probably make a turbo bitch in your eyes, but you should know he turned the idea down. He'd said no. Told us to let it ride. That he didnt care what happened, that he wasnt going to drag you into it. You should also know he yelled at all three of us for you. Especially at the first idea we'd had. " she says.

I tilt my head. "What was the first?" 

"I suggested he not even say anything. That he try to work you into a real relationship, and never mention it was for the spin." she says and my jaw drops. 

"I know." she nods. "I know. I'm a bitch." 

"no Margaret...that's some straight up CUNT shit." I say and she blinks.

"Well, no argument there." she says. "But..again...it's my job. And I'd do almost anything for Tucker to keep him where he needs to be. "

"You into him?" I ask, narrowing my eyes.

She barks out a laugh. "Absolutely not. I'm gay Miss Sellis." 

"Oh." I say and narrow my eyes and she holds up her hand, she can tell Im trying to see if she's lying.

"Scouts honor." she says. 

"Pft, you have no honor MISS Margaret." I say and she shrugs. 

"That's fair. But I do honor my job as Tucker publicist...and I know he won't make you do anything you want to do....but he needs you to do this Sailor." she says using my first name, for the first time. 

I sigh. 

"I want a simple contract. One I can fucking understand. And we do this one month at a time. I'm not promising half a year to this shit. When I dont know entirely what I'm in for. " I say and she nods. 

"Yes Miss Sellis, of course , I'm sure we can work with that." she says and grabs my hands and I raise my brow. 

"Thank you Sailor." she says, a genuine smile on her face for the first time.

"Yep." I say, tugging my hands from hers. 

Then I follow Margaret into the office, where we spend the next two hours doing negotiations for my damn ring finger.
