intriguing.

Billy was positioned beside his lover as they shared an intimate moment. He closed his eyes, and while not far away Avril was sleeping. She didn't expect anything more than to wake up and continue eating sweets. In parts of Billy's awards, they were displayed in a showcase specially built by him. The media was indulging in everything that had happened, unlike usual. The ten Grammys were about to be named as Billy's record, and rock was a manifest part of his success, something the press loved to lavish with praise. All that had happened, and even more, the friendly fruit of his work continued to be recognized by everyone.

-The kid managed to surprise us again, - Roger Ames commented with a smile on his face. Although it was five in the morning, he was already dressed and ready to start the necessary proceedings. The teams waited long enough to begin the tour since Billy wanted to audition for the movie "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." He was allowed to submit his audition and a recommendation. Having been recommended, he passed the first three rounds and now had to face three people, each of them a strong candidate. However, his fame and passable performance profile were enough to secure the supporting role.

-As I replied, the kid is golden. All his songs are fantastic, - Jerry commented, managing the exam from his phone. As he aged, he slept fewer hours, although he wore a blue pajama. He had been awake for a while, judging by how quickly he woke up at the slightest noise.

-I think it's fantastic. The tour will cover six countries in the first schedule until summer. We'll go to Latin America first. When the recording is over, it's possible that the kid won't get the role of Cedric Diggory, but he shouldn't know that. He'll be given the consolation prize of Victor Krum. Although the author rejected it, she can't deny that the young man brings a certain difference to Victor Krum from the book. She knows very well that a handsome, famous young man playing a supporting role is better, - Roger Ames commented.

Everything was arranged, and the idea of Billy auditioning was just to give him a face. Jerry mentioned a recommendation, but he didn't pressure Diggory. Therefore, it was preferred that he participate in less important roles and focus on music.

-I'll talk to the kid. We have a large fan base in the UK and Spain. Therefore, if we can do good marketing campaigns and talk to the right people, we might be able to double up on some dates like Barcelona, London, Liverpool, Madrid, Paris, Marseille... We have many locations we can use. For now, the concert at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum has sold out all tickets. Tickets are almost sold out in Santa Clara and Las Vegas, -Jerry said.

-Should we bet on another date in Los Angeles? - Roger asked.

-Yes, let's go for Las Vegas. The city attracts everyone. Those big corporate companies will lend us the stadium for free, - Jerry chuckled, knowing that Las Vegas was a double-edged sword. If you were very popular and brought enough people, it was a cult where expenses were minimal, as the companies themselves provided many concessions. For example, Allegiant Stadium has a capacity of 65,000 people, but it's possible to adjust it to 80,000 people, and the lease was a minimum for all locations, $200,000, as long as Billy promised to do some shows in some casinos. It was simply a bargain. They even offered him a free line at the casino with 20,000 chips to play because people were drawn to fame, and those things were common in Las Vegas, the capital of madness.

-We'll think about it. We'll tentatively open a second date for two days, and if possible, continue to exploit this tour as much as we should, - Roger Ames commented. The tour's value amounted to at least $100 million, scheduling seven dates in American cities. On the other hand, it was common for big stars to still have to sell sponsorships, collect some tickets, and sell other tickets. When they open the other seven locations, it will be the starting point.

-The young man has surprised us time and time again, - Roger said to the air.

The conversation ended as they moved on to the next items on the agenda, such as new sponsorship deals. As his profile grew, Billy was becoming a more important figure. Nike, Armani, Dr. Martens, Supreme, Hot Topic, Vans... Sponsorships lined up in a way that was fascinating to see.

Billy straightened his shirt, letting his well-toned abs and body be exposed. Despite everything, he took special care, training relentlessly because he knew there was a special appreciation for looking good by everyone. From there, he used everything he had to shape the controversial Billy Carson. After tidying his shirt, he gently lay down on the bed. Not far away, the blonde lay naked, and he felt the urge to wake her up when he saw her small, round breasts. Instead, he kissed her forehead and continued on his way, slowly exiting, where a warm bed awaited him.

He tiptoed up the stairs and sighed when he reached his room. He took a long shower and then snuggled up with Avril, who trembled at the feeling of Billy's cold arms but closed her eyes as the sleeping girl nestled in his arms once again felt the warmth.

They woke up around noon. While Avril was accustomed to sleeping for 15 hours, Billy preferred to wake up early and go for a jog, as everything turned out.

-Stop hugging me, - Avril said, leaving Billy's arms as she opened her eyes. The bright sun shone through the window, and the messy living room was shining in its way because of how everything turned out.

-Go back to sleep, - Billy replied.

-It's almost noon, - Avril commented, seeing that Billy was still asleep.

-Order room service. Anyway, downstairs is full of paparazzi, which will only be annoying, so it's better to stay here, - Billy said.

-Fine, - Avril said, picking up the phone and ordering all kinds of junk food: hamburgers, chocolates, potato chips, pizza, fried chicken, sandwiches, and roast beef. Just as Connor and Spencer entered the room, both looked at the wasteful display of food.

Spencer opened the windows along with Connor.

-For heaven's sake, close those windows, - Billy said.

-Curtains, genius, - Connor said. The boy who used to murmur only was now introverted, making sarcastic or cutting comments.

-We slept late last night. I'm still a bit sleepy, but I'm hungry, - Avril said, yawning widely, sitting in a relaxed position with her feet on the chair and against her chest, the way she saw everything.

-I'd like to be left alone for a bit, - Billy said, knowing what they were likely here for. Possibly for some important interview arranged from above that, even for him, was impossible to refuse. He just wanted to be in his downtown apartment, bought in 2002 when high-rise housing prices fell after September 11. Some foreigners sold their apartments, and Billy acquired one on the 34th floor, a penthouse, a suitable place to be free with 250 square meters, two floors. He had enough space to practice his music, enjoy the terrace, and keep the paparazzi at bay.

-You know you have an interview in four hours. You'll be live, and half of North America is waiting for you, - Spencer said, providing some air.

-We're waiting, - Connor added, the whole band would be participating.

-Everyone can talk about whatever they want as long as they know I'm the real boss here, - Billy said.

-Pfffff, stop being arrogant with your bandmates and get up, - Avril turned around. - We ordered a lot of delicious food. You can eat something and leave. I also have to go do some things; after all, I'm also a musician. -

-Oh, young lady, I have to get the others from the band ready. Order some more. Bring sugar eggs and Jack Sauce, -Spencer said.

-Wait a second, -Avril said, picking up the phone again, while Billy got up to take another shower, this time wanting a warm shower to help relax his muscles.

Avril couldn't help but swallow hard when she saw Billy's physique, turning away. It was Billy's way of being affectionate, sweet, and refusing to have any extra contact beyond a simple hug. She was hopelessly in love with Billy, her friend.

-Stop staring so much, - Billy teased, closing the door.
