The Price of Fame

*After half a year, I meet her again, this time in peivacy of her hotel room. I knock on the door.* Room service...

*Lola opens the door, her face a mask of sadness* Oh, it's you...

It's like you weren't expecting me. I clearly said: half a year SHARP...

*Lola looks away, not wanting to make eye contact* I know, I just...I was hoping you would forget...

*Lola stares at you, her eyes wide with surprise* You're...letting me go?

Yup.

*Lola is speechless, she can't believe it. She runs over and hugs you tightly* Oh my god, I can't believe it...thank you so much...

*I look up.* You know what, old man? I'm really considering to leave her off the hook... If you still want to have her...

*You hear a deep, raspy voice from behind you* She's a very...interesting one, isn't she?

*I turn around.*

*Lola slowly walks over to you, her face a mask of fear. She whispers under her breath* Why did I do this...why did I make this deal?

*I let her come very close to me, then I lean to her ear and whisper:* I could take you right now, but I'm kinda fond of you... Make your arrangements. You have seven days...

*Lola is shaking, tears welling up in her eyes* Seven days? But I'm in the middle of a tour...I can't just leave...
