The room was quiet for I don’t know how long.  All I could do was stare, and I was not sure who I was staring at more.  Everly my shy sexy little redhead or the two biggest fucking rockstars to date.  These two women had come out of nowhere and literally taken over the music industry.  Their guitar skills are different from anyone else's, and their voices are beyond amazing.  Not to mention they are ridiculously gorgeous.  Everyone wants to work with them.  They are not my type since I have a thing for redheads but having them stand before me has me seeing them in a way that I never thought I would.  They are both three or four inches taller than Everly, making them around 5’4”.  Both have matching dark emerald green eyes with hazel sprinkled in them. Their long natural silvery platinum blonde hair has thick chunks of colour flowing throughout it—multiple shades of blue for Kylynn and multiple shades of purple for Tianya.  If I didn't know they were cousins, I would swear they were sisters; they look so much alike.  They could damn near be twins with how much they resemble each other.

“Here take your damn coffee and sit down.  I swear the two of you act as if you are five not 21 with all the whining you do.”  Vienna snarks.

“You are so fucking lucky you are our cousin,”  Tianya grumbles.

Vienna practically shoves the coffee into their hands and struts out loudly, shutting the door.  I can hear the other woman laughing from somewhere down the hall.  I am pretty sure I heard one of them call her a bitch, but there was no malice behind it.  I can control the need to laugh at this scene, but Lance is not.  He lets out one of his obnoxiously loud booming laughs.  The guy sounds like a hyena when he gets going.  All three of the women look at him like he is insane, which he is.

“Dude you sound like a dying hyena.”  Kylynn points out.

“Yes, these assholes here like to remind me of this every time I laugh.”  Lance comments.

The four of us introduce ourselves, and we all shake hands.  Everly shakes my hand like we haven’t met before, and the same sparks I felt that night race up my arm.  I can tell that she feels them, too, when her eyes get big, and I hear a quiet gasp.  I think Tianya heard it as well since she looked over at the two of us.  I notice during our meeting that Brent hasn’t taken his eyes off Kylynn.  I smirk at him, and he flips me off.  She is definitely his type. Both of them are well decorated in tattoos, and I am sure they have more piercings than visible ones.  They are rock stars all the way.

“So why build your business in Savannah?”  Alek asks.

“We were all born and raised here.  We grew up in the Summer Valley area and went to Summer Hill high.  We knew that we wanted to start a company once we established our accidental music career and we knew that we wanted it to be in the town that we grew up in so here we are.”  Kylynn explains.

“Wait you went to Summer Hill High?  No way you two are the ones that had all the guys in our school both scared shitless and madly in love with you a the same time.  Your little group had quite the reputation.”  I said.

“Oh, you four must have gone to Legion Prep.  Yeah no offense most of the guys from your school were total douche bags and needed their asses kicked.”  Tianya points out.

I find it ironic that we went to school across town from each other.  Our schools were and are still huge rivals.  We heard that their little group has a reputation for fighting.  Basically, they didn’t put up with shit.  It makes so much sense now why Brad and Heath were so butt-hurt when they didn’t get the contract to work with these two.  They were probably just as shocked as we were when they walked into the room.  Knowing those two, I am sure they tried flirting and intimidation when that didn’t work.  When both failed, I am sure their egos took a hit, and they decided to save face by telling everyone that these three were impossible to work with.  I watch Everly as she starts talking about their products and the new products and ideas they are coming out with.  She is as beautiful as ever, but there is something different about her.  Her hair has grown longer and looks more lustrous, while her skin has this glow about it.  Brent then stands up and starts talking about what our company can offer, and I notice that they seem very interested.  Kylynn is watching Brent very closely, and I have noticed her checking him out just as he has been checking her out this whole time. 

“Well boys let us talk about it and we will let you know by tomorrow or the next day.”  Kylynn says.

A yawn slips out, and I tell them there is no rush.  They had just gotten back late last night from a concert in California.  They had told us all about it.  I told them that we could have rescheduled this meeting, but they just waved me off.  Lance had the bright idea to exchange numbers, so we did.  We all had each other's numbers now, and I was beyond happy to know that I could now talk to Everly at any time.  I looked up and into those bright baby blues of hers.  I give her one of my smiles, and it is returned as she follows the other two out.  I could tell that the smile wasn’t a happy one.  I could tell that night that she had trust issues.  She kept acting as if she couldn’t believe that a guy like me would be interested in her.  I hear Kylynn and Tianya going on as they walk down the hall.  I laugh when I hear Everly tell them to stop bitching and go home and sleep.  

“Well, that was an interesting meeting yesterday.  I am not sure if my brain has caught up with the fact that we met the Rock Goddesses yesterday.  I can’t wait to talk with Brad and Heath and rub it in that we morel than likely nailed down the contract to work with them.”  Alek says.

“They are going to lose their shit.  I am not sure I should bring this up but I swear Everly reminds me of someone.  I swear I have seen those same coloured eyes before but I can’t think of where.”  Brent comments.

“I thought the same thing but like you said I can’t think who she reminds me of.  I am surprised you noticed Everly at all with the way you were staring at Kylynn the whole fucking meeting.”  Lance points out.

“Oh fuck off, as if you weren’t checking them out.  Besides the fact that she is one of the biggest rock stars, she is fucking gorgeous.”  Brent replies.

I just laugh at the two of them.  We are in Brent’s office.  Lance thought we should have a very impromptu meeting about yesterday’s meeting.  Brent is right, though; Everly does remind me of someone. I still can’t get over how beautiful she is.  I roll my eyes as Lance keeps giving Brent shit about eye fucking Kylynn the whole meeting.

“You would think that being 24 year old adult billionaires that they would act more mature but apparently not.”  Tianya states.

“Please you know a guys mind never ages past 16.  I am not surprised that they are acting like they are still in highschool.”  Kylynn adds.

We all whip around when we hear them talk.  They are standing there in the doorway of Brent’s office with smirks on their faces.  Damn, these two.  They are both wearing simple halter-style sundresses which cover just enough.  I groaned when I realised that they walked through our entire building in these dresses.  I am sure that every guy and possibly a few women just lost their shit, and I have no doubt this whole place has been thrown into a frenzy.

“Not that we aren’t happy to see you but what are the two of you doing her?”  Alek asks.

“We were actually across the street having lunch and decided to pop in for a visit.  Just a heads up, your security here sucks ass.”  Kylynn states.

“It does not.”  I retort.

“Yes, it does.  We walked in and went to ask about seeing you two and the girl at the front practically yelled out the floor number.  Security didn’t even try and stop us in fact they just stood there and let us walk through this whole building while doing nothing.”  Tianya adds.

“First off I have no doubt that no one in this building was expecting the two of you to walk in and ask for us.  This building has the best security money can buy but apparently it is useless when the two biggest rock stars walk in.”  Lance points out.

Neither of them argues with what Lance says as they just shrug their shoulders and sit down.  I am surprised that Everly isn’t with them.  Alek asks, and Tianya says she is working from home today because she isn’t feeling well.  

“Ok I have to ask, we all noticed yesterday that not one person in your building was wearing a suit.  Everyone was dressed very business casual and it caught us off guard.”  I comment.

“Yeah well we aren’t exactly the suit and tie type of girls so when we started our business, not the music part, we knew that we wanted everyone to feel comfortable when they work.  We don’t really have a dress code and if anyone wanted to wear a suit they are free to do so.  We wanted a family feel and laid back vibe so as long as everyone looks nice we don’t care.”  Tianya explains.

They tell us how they run their business, and damn if it doesn’t make sense.  Full benefits from day one, low-key dress code, and options to work from home or come into the office.  They only require that each employee has to come into the office at least two to three times a week.  I can tell you we are impressed.  They tell us their turnover rate as far as employees leaving is below zero.  The few that had left were mostly due to one of the spouses being in the military or something like that.  The business world would be smart to follow their lead, but I can’t see that happening anytime soon. 

“Is Everly ok?”  I ask.

“Yeah, I think she caught a bug that is going around.  I know that a few of the others had the stomach flu recently.  That is the other reason we had to make up that concert two days ago.  We were both puking our guts out when it was originally scheduled. “  Kylynn replies.

I make a mental note to text Everly later and make sure she is ok.  Something in me is telling me to check on her.  I can’t explain it, but I know I need to.  After seeing her again yesterday, it just reiterated the fact that that night in the club, both my mind and heart claimed her and I have no intention of letting her go now that I found her again.
