When she wasn't doing that, she was working with John on the recording schedule for Pearl. They were forming a great friendship and Pearl was thankful to have someone she trusted there to help.
The album was going better than planned and the band was scheduled to begin editing at Epic the first week of February. They were ecstatic and ready to get it finished.
Things were calm for Pearl. Everyone was getting along well and she had a lot of free time for herself to relax and unwind. It was wonderful having the home studio.She FaceTimed Rhys often and they sent pics back and forth several times a day. His latest pic was him in full knight costume and she asked if he could bring it home to wear in the bedroom. His parents were coming in the weekend after Valentine's Day to work on some

After the show, Pearl and the guys went back stage to cool off until the crowd died down so that they could take down their gear and head home. Jason came in with his guests to congratulate them and the reporter from Rolling Stone also came back to get a few candid pictures for his article. He told then he was blown away and felt he was witness to an up and coming "it" band with Pearl becoming a huge star. "There aren't many women in this genre of rock. It's old school. It's dirty and sludgy. It's going to be big." He said, asking them to look at the camera. They posed in the dressing room with whiskey bottles and cigarettes, Pearl's leather clad legs stretched out across Dylan's lap from her chair, with Ian writing in a journal in the corner and Tony strumming his bass. Blake without his shirt and and his Mohawk climbing on the back of the door. They looked Rock n Roll.After he left, they all toasted and celebrated their night. "There's a crowd out by the side entrance,

She and Rhys decided to keep the name so Frank would always be a part of it but they were working on having a new sign made out front."Hey guys! I brought muffins. How are things going?""Oh hello there, Miss Pearl. We are well." Frank said. Iris introduced her to the new young man they had hired to work part time. He was a first year college student majoring in English Lit and was extremely thankful for the job. "I'm Tyler. It's nice to meet you. I've never met anyone famous before", He said, blushing."I'm not famous.", Pearl said. She welcomed him and walked around. She looked down the aisle where she had me Rhys and smiled. This was still her favorite place in the world, not that she had seen much of the world.She met the band back at the studio and they worked on a few more songs. By the way things were going, they would be done with the album in another

The album wrapped Friday afternoon. They were all elated and proud of themselves. They called Jax and Jason on a zoom call and popped champagne. They sent them what they had and it was in his hands now to mix. Everyone was in agreement that the single should be released as soon as possible. They needed to spend a few months setting up the release and then it was most likely a year or two of heavy touring, lots of press, album promo and starting the next album. Ian had become like family and he was already talking about wanting to be permanent.They were exhausted after working non stop all week and Pearl was ready for the hot tub, a bottle of wine and bed. Ian was leaving in the morning and Pearl couldn't believe it, but she was sad to see him go. He lived in Seattle and said he missed his apartment in the city.The rest of then guys left except for Blake and Iris. They were tired and said they needed some "catch up time" and went upstairs.Pea

Pearl spent the next morning approving five new staff members for the house and security detail. Jim had done the work to get it all together. With her growing success paired with Rhys' family inheritance possibly coming out soon, they needed more people around."So you like the two new security guards ok?" Jim asked."Yes. And I like the idea of Mary coming on as a part time housekeeper and cook. Just try to keep it in your pants when you're on duty. And I threw in the yard guy just because I know you're getting sick of shoveling snow in between plowing." Pearl winked at him. He rolled his eyes. She was thankful for the help. She wouldn't have to shop or clean or cook if she don't want to. But she wanted to that day. Rhys was supposed to be home the following evening and she wanted to have everything perfect."Jim let's go shopping", she said."Oh no. I'm not going anywhere with you. I'll drive you but I'm staying in the car and and I'm n

"Are you serious?" Pearl was not expecting a trip. They had been so busy with everything, she hadn't even thought about a vacation."It's all set up. Private estate rented on a beach in Oahu. 5 days, 6 nights. Just us." Rhys smiled, proud of himself.This was unreal. Pearl was so excited! She had only been to a couple of states and never anywhere warm or tropical. "When are we leaving?" She asked, about to jump out of the hot tub and pack right at that moment. "We fly out tomorrow." Rhys said.She hugged him and jumped out of the hot tub. "Where are you going?" He asked."I need to pack!" She yelled, running though the kitchen.She could barely sleep. Of all the things that have happened lately, seeing a place she'd never been before and having alone time with Rhys was more exciting than anything else.The 9 hour flight was longer than any flight she'd even been on and the wait was ridiculous. She tried to enjoy the fligh

Rhys woke her with a kiss. "I have another surprise from you", he whispered in her ear. "I don't think I can take any more surprises. I might die." Pearl yawned and sat up. She looked around the room and her eyes stopped at a dress hanging on the window. Her heart pounded. It was white with spaghetti straps and embroidered flowers scattered all along the bodice, made of light and simple material with a slit up in the right leg. She looked at Rhys. He smiled. "There's a reason I brought you here. And it wasn't just for a vacation. It was for our honeymoon." He continued,"Marry me today. We will still have the big wedding in June for our family and friends. But this, today, is just for us. We won't have to tell anyone and it can be ours for a little while before the media finds out. No one knows. I planned this very secretively. Marry me." He got down on one knee and presented her with another ring box. She took it

Rhys woke her up when they landed. "Good morning, my love. We are home." Jim was waiting with the car when they exited the airport. Rhys and Jim talked on the ride about Rhys purchasing a private jet. "I've avoided it but I think it's time. We need to start aligning our life so we can be safe and enjoy it as much as possible without having to deal with these things. I'm also going to call my attorney and get a confidentiality agreement typed up for all of the house staff." Rhys seemed irritated and edgy. They arrived home and Martha greeted them at the door. "Congratulations, Mrs. Tomlinson, welcome home." Pearl smiled, enjoying the sound of that. She took her luggage to the bedroom and unpacked. Rhys walked up to her and kissed the back of her neck. "My wife. It's so much better being

"What the fuck was that all about?" Rhys cornered John backstage. Dylan and Ian got up and stood in between them. "I know things are intense but none of us knew that was coming. Rhys, can you call your attorney?" Dylan asked.Rhys backed off John. " I suggest we hire another one at this point. I don't trust anyone outside of our circle and my guess is that there will be more to come." Rhys picked up his phone and walked out.Pearl just sat there, in front of the mirror. Why would David do this? She thought."Dylan", John said, "I don't know what's going to happen after that outburst on live television. We can only hope for the best. I have to call Jason." Tony, Ian and Blake followed him out the door. Dylan looked at Pearl. "Are you ok? I need to know that you're ok." He asked, putting his hand on her shoulder."I'm ok." She said, still staring into the mirror.Dylan was still furious. "Let's hope I don't see this asshole David
