What would you do if you were forced to date someone? And what if that someone was one of the most known singers of all time?

Bella Baker is a 20 year old girl from a small neighborhood in London, she doesn't go to college and sings at clubs to save money so that later on she can pursue her career.

Jake Russo is a 24 year old guy from London, he is on his first world tour and already has millions of fans going crazy over his music, his dimples, his brown curly and perfect green eyes.

Both Jake and Bella had everything planned out in their lives until that day when Jake’s management decided his fame was decreasing. The lead of their team, Leo searches to find the perfect girl for Jake. When he sees Bella's cover on YouTube, he understands that he found what he has been looking for. Maybe Bella is the perfect girl for Leo, but is she, for Jake?

"Neither am I dying to be with you. There are a billion girls out there who would kill to be in your position so suck it up and play your role."

I woke up with the sound of my alarm at 8.30. Leo said he would call at 9.00. I get ready and change into my favorite pair of black jeans and a white transparent shirt. As I button the third button, which goes right before my chest tattoos, Leocalls. I check the time, it's 9.00. He literally called the second clocked ticked 9.00. That punctual British. I take a deep breath.

J-Good morning.

L-Morning Jake, I told you I would call.

J-Yes, something wrong?

L-I know you have a month long break but this problem has to be solved before we start your second album.

J-What? Which problem?

L-When you guys were in the band Vision-

J-We still are, we will be back. We're just taking a break.

L-Let me finish. You guys had a massive amount of fans. It was crazy. You still are one of the most supported singers in the world but still it's not the same.

J-And what are you suggesting?

L-I want you to date someone to bring you back to the media.

J-No way. I can get enough attention with my music. I cannot play with someone like that.

L-I know, but this is something the management requires. Take it or leave. Sorry Jake.

J-Leo you can't do this. Please.

L-I'm sorry Jake. Meet me and the girl today in Winter Garden Restaurant at 8pm. Don't be late.

What the fuck? How could he expect me to play with someone like that? Treat her like my property just to boost my popularity. No. My mum didn’t raise no fool. I'm gonna go to that restaurant today and tell them I'm not willing to do this. But what if Leo really makes me leave? Would he? There's only one way to find out. I decide to head to my favorite coffee shop to escape from my thoughts.

Hey mum and Josh,

I'm in the coffee shop and I'll be back as soon as I can. Text me if you want anything.

-J.

I drop the note on the table and leave the house. I start to think about how it would be to date her. Someone I don't even know the name of. Would she be hurt? Would I be hurt? How would it end? I'm not sure. But I'm sure as hell that this isn't right.

I walk down the road to realize I'm almost there. I see the brown green logo of the coffee shop.

I try to clear my head as I take a turn to get in. But before smell the intense coffee, I hit someone.

B-Wait so you actually want me to date a singer but you're not telling me until I meet you today at 8pm?

L-That's right. And the only reason we're keeping his identity hidden is because of safety reasons.

B-I mean I don't want to offend you but just because someone is famous doesn’t mean I'm going to date him.

L-This is really important Bella. I looked all over the world to find someone for him. You are perfect. And plus it will boost your career as well don’t you think?

B-I might be perfect for you, but am I for him? You’re right about my career though…

L-There's only one way to find out. Meet us in the Winter Garden Restaurant today at 8pm. We'll be waiting.

I end the phone call without replying. How could he just ask me to date someone without knowing them just to increase their fame. I would have never even consider it if it wasn’t form y own career.

I head out to my favorite coffee shop. I feel relieved when I see the familiar brown green logo. I order a latte and head out. Well, decide to head out but before I can I hit someone.

Jake’s Pov

The girl is about 15 centimeters shorter than me. She’s blonde with really pretty light brown eyes. But all I can think on this stressful and already fucked up day is my favorite white shirts that are ruined with her coffee. I was thinking of wearing this tonight to meeting goddamn Leo and the girl and now it's ruined. Thanks love.

Bella's Pov

He is about 15 centimeters taller than me. He has brown curly hair with the most perfect green eyes I've ever seen. But as this is literally the worst day of my life, I ignore the fact he's ridiculously hot. I look at him, his tshirt and my empty latte cup with anger. How could this day go worse?

He looks at me expecting something. An... apology? Well hell no. "Watch where you're going!" I try to keep calm. He looks at me as I'm crazy.

"Are you crazy?" I knew. He continues. "You are the one who spilled coffee all over my shirt and you tell me to watch where I'm going?" He chuckles, with anger I suppose. Great. He has dimples. God.

"I'd answer you back but I'm having a hell of a day so I'm just gonna go." I can't keep this going. I'll make coffee at home.

"Oh you can't even imagine. I'm having the worst fucking day ever don't even get me started." He rolls his eyes. I turn around to get away from the stomach destroyingly hot stranger. "Asshole." I whisper underneath my breath.

"Yeah, I hope the rest of your day goes better as well." He turns around into the coffee shop and I start walking to my home.

"Thank you all so much for coming. I hope to see you again soon. I love you. Have a great night"

I look at my beautiful fans one last time, taking in the sight before running off the stage.

I'm gonna miss traveling to different countries and meeting new fans everyday.

I hurry towards our tour bus and head to the airport. As much as I loved going on my first World Tour, I miss my family. I have a month off to visit London, chill and hang with my family before I have to start working on my second album.

I walk through the guards and find my gate. Plane takes off in an hour, so I decide to text my mum. Before I can, a text pops up from the head of my management, Leo. 'We have to talk. I'll call you tomorrow morning at about 9 am.' It's never good when people start a sentence with 'we have to talk.’ It makes me anxious. I’m definitely going to think about it all night. I hate being a procastinator.

I text my mum trying to keep my mind off Leo’s message. My mum replies in about a minute, just like I hoped.

J-Hey mum, just got to the airport. Plane will take off in about 50 minutes.

M-Hey darling, hope you had a great last show and I wish I could have been there. Josh will pick you up from the airport when you get here.

J-Okay, thank you. Tell him I said hey.

M-Will do honey. See you later.

J-Can’t wait to see you. Love you.

"Hey Josh, I missed you!!" I say to my brother as he pulls me into an incredible tight hug that leaves me breahless.

"Ahh I missed you too J. You can never leave me for that long again do you understand me?"

"Yeah, sure. Until next year." I say laughing and rolling my eyes. We get to a car I don't recognize. "You bought a new car?" I ask him, obviously confused.

"Well, my brother is and international singer who travels the world so I should have some advantages. "I chuckle slightly,getting into the car. “I like it.”

The ride to my childhood home is relaxing, yet exciting. I miss my mum. As we take the last turn to our home I get the urge to make a dad joke. Ah dad jokes. I love them. "Why did the music teacher get arrested?" Even in the dark I can see Josh rolling her eyes.

"Jake come on I was just starting to think you're done with these jokes." I put my childish grin on. “Never.” Josh sighs lightly.

"Alright, why?" A few seconds pass in silence. "Because he was fingering a minor." There’s a moment of silence.

"This is by far your worst joke I've heard." I can feel he bites on his lip trying not to laugh but eventually he does. He always does.

We park the car and walk to the door I used to see everyday right beside the woman I love more than anyone in the world. Without a single word my mum pulls me into a hug even tighter than Josh’s. "I've missed you so much." I feel a tear escaping my eye. The media might not know but I'm still my mums little Jake. "I've missed you too my daring boy."

We catch up on what happened since my shows in London. My mum tells me all about her cooking classes and that everyone keeps on asking how I'm doing. Josh talks about the 'extremely fascinating' trip to Milan with his best friends.

My turn now. I start to talk about my first ever world tour. "It's amazing to be able to express yourself through songs. It's even more amazing to have people, all from different parts of the world, back you up and support you through thejourney. The crew is passionate and friendly. The arenas are even bigger than I imagined. Singing my own songs, emotions and earning my life from this is just unbelievable. And the fans... I don't even know what to say for them. I can't explain my love for them. They say I can never understand their love for me but the truth is I do, because I feel the same emotions towards them even though I don't know most of them in person. They are committed, passionate, loving and caring. I don't know what I did to deserve them. I love them more than anything." Woah. Word vomit. Did I just say that?

When I finish I see four teary eyes in front of me. "It's amazing you can say these stuff both for your life and your fans. I'm so proud of you." My mum says pull my brother and I into a family hug. After a few seconds I start laughing. "Okay, sorry to end this precious moment," I chuckle slightly. "I have to get sleep. I’m exhausted. Good night. I love you both.
