“But I really like making you sandwiches,” I whimper. The Man says he doesn’t believe catering to him will make me happy. He wants autonomy, not a pet.
He was everything I’d been looking for – successful, handsome, creative. Seven years my senior, he seemed so grown-up, with his fancy watch and first-class flights. He was a man – nothing like the boys I’d dated before him. He was The Man. But the truth was that it wasn’t my band. I was a frustrated singer-songwriter, playing bass and singing backups just to have a gig. The guys who fronted it didn’t take me seriously, wouldn’t let me write with them, and I had yet to be paid. My modelling career had slowed to a trickle back when I was in my late teens. I didn’t have a trust fund. In fact, I didn’t have two nickels to rub together. Nor did I have a car. Or a home.
I found out he’d quickly begun dating one of the stars of the show that, strangely enough, my dad co-wrote the hugely popular theme song for, and I realised she was everything I was not: definitely an adult, very wealthy, A-list famous. And she had her life together.I remembered his family asking about my dad, the song, the show, and if I’d ever met any of the stars. I had not. But now they would.
Through reading the tabloids, I saw that The Man had stayed in LA and moved into his girlfriend’s Malibu mansion. I got fired from my hostessing job for crying on the floor – definitely not an ideal greeting in the restaurant business. But when it came to my music and writing, I was showing up like never before. I was intent on making the Everest-sized climb out of Loserville.
To my surprise, right there, behind me, The Man and his famous fiancee were having their own red-carpet moment. He looked uncomfortable, and his girlfriend was oblivious as she waved to the cameras. I thought that I might throw up. I tried to make eye contact and he pretended not to know me.
