“Why, uh, thank you. Thank you, very much Ms. Wischnia. Bette has –”
“Please, please. Call me Joyce.” The blonde-haired lawyer interrupted softly as she continued to hold Kit’s hand in hers.
“Joyce.” Kit giggled, and blushed a little while Angus creased his brows and watched the two women very suspiciously. “As I was sayin’, Bette here has told us very wonderful things about you, and we look forward to workin’ with you.”
Joyce played coy before dropping Kit’s hand and waving her off. “Aww, please, flattery will get you everywhere, Ms. Porter. Tell me something, is there a Mr. Porter?” Joyce inquired. Angus cleared his throat in a loud and obvious manner which only served to get Joyce’s attention for a quick moment. “Need a throat lozenge, my friend?”
“No I’m good.” Angus said as he again cleared his throat.
“Um, no. No Mr. Porter at the moment.” Kit answered shyly. “And you can call me Kit, Joyce.”
“If that’s what you prefer, then Kit it is.” Joyce made her way back to the head of the table opposite Bette’s chair. She lowered herself gracefully into her chair and slapped the table with both hands. “Alright, first things first, my friends. Mr. Preston, if you could excuse my clients and I for one moment, my lovely assistant, Lydia, is waiting outside for you with an ice cold, bottled water that has your name on it.” She winked at James as he looked over to Bette like a lost little boy.
When he received a slight nod and a reassuring smile from Bette, he pushed his chair away from the table and stood up. “Um, of course.” He cleared his throat and buttoned his nicely tailored, navy suit jacket before walking towards the door Joyce had entered just minutes before.
“Thank you kindly, sir.”
Joyce watched him as he made his way out of the conference room. Once he had been greeted by Lydia and the door had closed, she again turned her attention to Bette and the band.
“Nice kid.” She said as she motioned toward the door with her head. “I read his proposed contract. I like it. Is he the one you folks want as your agent?”
“Yeah.”
“Totally.”
“He’s pretty cool, yup.”
“I like James.”
“Uh-huh, absolutely.”
And one nodding head was the total response from the band.
“Bette?” Joyce waited to see if the brunette concurred.
“I agree with the band and with you, Joyce. James’ provisions are very fair to the band and seem on the up and up.”
“Great!” Joyce opened up the blue portfolio that was set on the table in front of her and pulled a pen from the inside pocket of her black suit jacket. She scribbled her signature the blank line above her name and passed the document to Carmen who was sitting immediately to her left. “Ok, my dear. Find your name and sign away.”
The document made it’s way around the table until all the Stouts had signed above their printed name. Once the contract made it back to Joyce, she smiled and held it up. “Your first autograph as a band with representation.”
The band members cheered at the milestone, all of them grinning and gleeful. Their entertainment lawyer took the contract over to the printer on the other side of the room and generated a copy for each member as well as Bette. After she stapled them, rather than distribute them, she slipped them all back into her portfolio and sat back down in her seat.
“We’ll let him sweat it out for a few minutes before we give him the good news.” She said with an evil chuckle as she winked at Kit again. The blush returned to the lead singers cheeks as she looked down shyly.
“Alright, so let’s talk record deals.” Joyce clapped and rubbed her hands together before fishing for another packet from a second portfolio on the table.

Joyce can be a real bitch sometimes. However, I am waiting for Angus to punch her one if she doesn’t back off from Kit. Hopefully everyone will benefit from the new contract. Great chapter.
It seems that Kit was enjoying the attention that Joyce was paying to her. Should Angus be concerned? Who is the other contract from?
Enjoyed, please post soon and I have missed you
thank you i enjoyed i am happy you came back with your story that was amazing please post soon!!!!
Missed for sure!!! I had a great bday thank you! I might have had a little too much sake!!! I say since you were gone so long you must post long chapter!! Because once I start reading they seem so short!!!!
Celebratory Saturday…my Gamecocks won and MeLL posted! Doing my happy dance seeing your post. The girls are getting more adorable and sexy with every chapter. Picturing a smirking Bette at the conference table replying to Tina’s sext. This was my favorite Alice moment reprimanding Little P for her “horny giggles and subconscious declarations.” Anxious to see what Joyce presents as a record deal. Enjoy your three-day weekend and come back ready to post!
Wait a minute, you mean after Bette crawled her way over to Tina that these two smitten kittens refrained “rollin’ and tumblin”!?! Or did you just decide to “fade to black” here for a change and give them some privacy (LOL). That’s my way of saying WELCOME BACK MeLL!!!! I missed you :). Guess since this is a PG-13 chapt. we’ll just have to guess the contents of the sext message Tina sent that made Bette blush so because as Bette doesn’t seem like the type to embarrass easily (if at all). And can I just say “ewwwwww” to the whole Joyce/Kit vibe :S So up next, the record deal and conference call to Aaron where Joyce summarily wipes the floor with him yes??? :) Love this story and looking forward to your next post, and in case it doesn’t happen before the next holiday, have a happy Thanksgiving!
Ya know i was having kinda a shitty day, too many assignment, too near deadlines and all that bosh. Seeing that you posted made me smile. Your adorable B&T in the first half of this update made me smile. Knowing that you are still alive made me smile :P I won’t hassle you too much about your absence but see that you don’t make a habit of it some of us have severe abandonment issues. Cheers for updating mel!! and i hope you had an enjoyable weekend break.

I near chocked on my cornflakes when I saw your name on the front page! I had to think for second where I knew you from…… I had to go back a long long long way but I finally remembered! :0) so, yeaaaaaah you are back … And no cornflakes were hurt in the process … I simply loved that update…especially the first part… Your Bette is a seriously sexy chick …. But where is the surprise there… BP is sexiness personified! ;0) About your punishment; I may have to reconvene with myself and discuss it further. Leaning towards letting you off on the proviso that you update on a more regular basis! Deal? Thank you so much for the post, chuck… And now go forth and enjoy your long weekend….I think I know where you are headed! ;0D
