Worse
than a one-hit wonder, Tassia Hogan is a one-line wonder. Infamous
for a memorable, extremely provocative verse, her music career is
going nowhere. Finding a decent man to date has also proven fruitless
. . . they all think she’s as wanton as those lyrics. But now her
label is offering Tassia the chance to shine—with a catch. The
album is duets. Her partner is a Country Western singer. And he’s
just as reluctant to agree as she is.
Hyde Love has been in
the music business since he was eleven, and he’s becoming more and
more disenchanted with it. Collaborating on an album seems great in
theory, but Tassia is an R&B singer. Melding their sounds and
personalities will be difficult—though not as tough as keeping
things strictly business. Getting involved with his partner could
prove career-wrecking, yet discovering the real Tassia could be
earth-shattering.
Chapter
1
Tassia
Hogan sat in a makeshift director’s chair that reminded her of the
chairs on the set of the TV show she had done as a pre-teen called
the Ratty
Rat’s Fun Crew.
Fifteen years later and she still liked to sit in the taut cloth seat
with her leg draped across the arm, leaned back against the stretched
black fabric. Anything that relaxed her before a show fit the bill
right now. Since
she sat backstage with Aaron’s back-up singers and dancers, she
felt comfortable with this group. She wore black shorts along with
her black leather bra until showtime. Then she would swap the shorts
for a matching black leather skirt and heels that would kill her feet
as she danced around in them for over an hour on stage. Thankfully,
tonight would be the last show on the tour. The
limber dancers all stretched in different corners of the room. Even
in a room far away from the main arena area, Tassia heard the crowds
all chanting Aaron’s name, which sucked for the opening act on
stage at the moment. She could relate. Tassia knew full well that the
sold-out arena full of people would have their full, undivided
attention on the headliner, Aaron. She just happened to sing a hook
on his latest hit song. One day she would gain some respect and have
fans of her own. Now that enough time had been put between her and
that kids’ show, she could start making a name for herself. “Oh,
shit.” Tassia
rarely gave her attention to the generally foul-mouthed crew that
surrounded her. Most
times the backstage area sounded more like a teenager-filled locker
room than a room full of professionals working for one of the
highest-paid rappers in the game. When she heard the expletive she
didn’t flinch. Like she did at ten years old when she had worked on
the show, she swung her leg back and forth. Then she heard her name. “I
can’t believe they still play this show.” The
hairs stood on the back of Tassia’s neck as she dared to bring her
attention to the wide-screen TV that hung on the wall. It didn’t
take her long to notice the taped opening to Ratty
Rat’s Fun Crew where
she and five other children danced around a man dressed in a rat
costume. A
rat. Why the hell did it have to be a rat of all things? “Aww,
Tassia, you were so cute.” A female dancer put her hand to her
chest. “Yeah,
look at those pigtails.” A back-up singer pointed to the screen. Tassia
didn’t need to look. She knew what she looked like. For a year, the
show pressed her natural hair using a blow dryer and a hot comb so
that she could achieve her straight-hair look. With all the dancing
she did on the show, by the end of the day, the sweat that had poured
from her reverted her hair back to its naturally wavy pattern. Thankfully
with wigs now, she didn’t worry about her hair, still in its
natural state. Pretty soon she would see a stylist to get cornrows in
her hair to get ready for her vacation. Fuss-free hair on a
drama-free vacation. Although
she fought hard to avoid looking at the screen, her gaze fell on one
of her kiddie co-stars. Tassia remembered Hyde Love being shy and
quiet. As
though a back-up singer had read her thoughts, the woman said, “I
can’t believe that chubby kid turned out to be the biggest star out
there.” She
turned to Tassia, who now had to bring her leg down and squeeze them
together when that familiar school-girl crush returned. “Did you
know he would blow up like he has?” Tassia
shook her head. “We were kids. We didn’t know what would happen
in the future.” Yes,
she wouldn’t have known that this man would stab her in the back,
not once, but twice. It was too bad because at one time, she
completely thought the world of him.
