Thread: Safe & Sound [Merc & zPrimal]

The way Bridgit flirted with the new guy didnt go unnoticed by Koa. He was handsome, shed give him that, but the manner in which the leggy redhead acted was painfully obvious. Dumbing herself down for attention? Reaching out and brushing her hands over his arms, and standing awkwardly close? Koa kept her face carefully neutral, though inwardly she couldnt help the judge the desperation. She hated Bridgit, she hated the label, and everything that had to do with them. The woman was nice enough in person, but she still worked for him and the good cop bad cop they repeatedly pulled on her was tired. Squishing her lips together in a purse, she let her eyes dance over Eliot as he introduced himself with scrutiny. That soft, timid, angelic personality that had shown through in the box was gone. Koas dark gaze studied him sharply. She took in the fit of his suit, the way he stood with his hands behind his back and legs relaxed but positioned in such a way that showed he was ready for action at a moments notice. His eyes were cool, his jaw rigid, and Koa briefly wondered what his lips would feel like, though there was no more sexual attachment to her first impression than that. Nodding her head once, with a small but still kind smile. Me too. Turning her attention back to Bridgit, who was busy responding to emails and texts at a rapid fire pace, Koa moved further into the room and then leaned back against the office chair tucked in under the soundboard. Bridgit, she started to gain the womans attention, barely getting a hm? in acknowledgement, I sent Henry my requests for the tour but havent heard back. Do you know anything? Koa had agreed to go back on tour under certain circumstances, and only one had been met. The new security team had been it. She had also made amendments to the proposed cities, schedule, and men on board the bus with her. Henry, Bridgits boss and head of the label, had read the email, as her read receipt had acknowledged, but hadnt responded back. That was two weeks ago, and she was scheduled to head out on tour tomorrow. Oh, you know Henry, Bridgit responded with a laugh, shaking her head and looking up at Koa as though the girls shared an inside joke on the man. Hell probably send his response five minutes before take off, but everything will be taken care of, kiddo. Promise. Her frown was apparent. She crossed her arms over her chest, covered beneath the thin and well-loved sweatshirt she wore. Though the temperatures outside were staggering, inside the studio the air conditioning would freeze nipples to diamond points. She opted for layers, with her lengthy legs covered in a pair of skintight blue jeans, a pair of chuck sneakers, and the faded pink sweater over a plain white tee giving her a casual and approachable look for the camera. The colors she wore complimenting her fair skin tone and platinum hair. Im serious. Im not going if Henry is just going to brush me aside. That guy was in my house . He got into my room . She was getting emotional, her eyes pinching with anger as she adjusted her weight against the chair before opting to stand up straight again. How the fuck am I supposed to trust a hotel is safe if my own damn house isnt?! Bridgits eyes shot up from her phone when Koa cursed, her expression cruel for just a flicker of a moment as she slipped her phone back her purse and leveled the popstar with a cool gaze. Watch your tone and your words with me, Kekoa. We have gone above and beyond hiring a new security team for this tour, and we are taking the attack very seriously. Henry is a very busy man, but he is handling it. Now, Eliot here went through a very rigorous hiring process before we selected him and his team for being the best. And you are the best, arent you, Eliot? she asked, her tone shifting the moment she was speaking to him directly, with her eyes kind and inviting as her hand once again reached to linger over his shoulder. Kekoa was openly scowling at this point, shaking her head as she looked at Eliot. No offense, but thats what they said about the last team, too.
