"Ha ha, Max," my manager replied sarcastically. "Are you going to be beside them or behind the camera?"
"I'll stay back," he answered, already pulling a chair to sit behind the camera that was pointed at the couch. "It's your moment."
"Thanks, liefde (love)," I said, taking my spot on the couch. "Let me know when you start it."
"If you're ready, I can start it now?" My manager asked, receiving a thumbs up from me as I fixed my appearance one last time. They pointed to me, signaling that I was live, so I smiled and switched on my stage persona.
"Hello everybody! It's everyone's favorite day; release day!" I greeted, scanning through the messages flying on the screen. "I'm going to play my new album, Plot Twist, which is available now on all platforms, and answer your questions about each song. Let's get started with the first single."
Track 1- AVA
"Everyone knows this backstory, but something you might not know is that Max helped me with the melody on this one too," I laughed as Max groaned in the background.
"I helped on basically every song. I should get royalties."
"I think you'll live, Mr. Third-Most-Paid-Sportsman-Under-25," I mocked.
"Oh fuck off," He laughed, moving to play the next song.
Track 2- Seven
"Again, another very popular single, "I chuckled, "Not gonna like was almost titled 'Fling' or 'Freak Out', but Max thought 'Seven' was more ominous."
"I did not! Stop putting words in my mouth!"
"Denial doesn't look good on you, schat (darling)."
"I'm not in denial," He opposed. "I just said 'Seven' sounded better than 'Fling' or 'Freak Out'."
Track 3- Bigger Person
"Think we all know who this is directed at," I sighed with a look directly at the camera, "But actually, it was a combination of the breakup and my personal problems with my family, and this is one of my most vulnerable songs. I've been working on it for a long time, and it is one of my favorites on the album. I think I did the idea justice, and I hope some of my fans find comfort in this song."
Track 4- Flowers
"Flowers is another very close-to-home song. I used to have a huge fear of commitment, and with my ex, the very first thing he did was introduce me to his family by saying he would marry me," I admitted, remembering the details of the night I met the Leclercs. Now, I have no contact with Charles, but his brothers and Maman still text me every so often. Arthur actually called me to tell me how much he loved the album earlier today. I smiled at the memories before continuing. "That actually didn't drive me away as it normally would have, so I felt safe and comfortable with him right away. Maybe that's why I put up with everything for so long. And anytime there was a big fight between us, instead of talking it out and resolving it, he would get me red roses. It was always an apology, and I can't look at red roses the same anymore."
"For everyone always asks why I get them carnations, daisies, or dahlias, this is why," Max spoke up. "I'm the man that treats you right."
"Yes, yes you do, Maxie," I laughed, looking over at him. "I love you. Now, next song!"
Track 5- Somebody to You (Acoustic)
"When I realized that I loved Max, I couldn't get him off my mind at all. I knew I wanted to be someone important to him, but I didn't want to be overbearing and make him think it was a rebound," I explained quickly. "However, even as a kid, I knew I would be with him because we were just always close like that."
