Someone knocks at your door.

"I don't really know anyone here yet. I wonder who it could be?"

You think while partially open the door. A slightly older gentleman eating a doughnut with bits all over his face and clothes is waiting for you. He clearly doesn't seem to care about how he appears though. Before you can fully take in the scene he begins speaking.

"I'm looking for ... Kelly. Is she here?" The man says with a slow monotone drawl while looking up when he said your name, like if he was trying to remember something.

"I'm her." You reply, unsure about this guy.

" Great... My name is Bill and I'm the landlord. Unfortunately we have a big issue here." He pauses and looks at you. And uncomfortable few moments pass as he's looking at you.

"What issue?" You ask trying to think positive things. Having a surprise visit from you landlord is never sa good sign.

" Prepaying the first month's rent. I saw your group moving in, so you are all using my property. And I've yet I'm still not received my payment. " He says with a slightly grim when he says that you are living with your friends, and you finally see it. For you is something natural, but for the landlord ... he is thinking that you are ... with both of them.

" It's not like that, Mr. Bill. We're a band, and ... living together helps saving money and ... " You say fast trying to erase your fake reputation on Bill's head.

" No my business, Kelly. What you do, or not do behind on my rented property is your thing. I just need 2000 dollars right now or I'm going to have to ask you to leave." He says ,and you still see the teasing smile on his lips. For a moment you remember that you forgot to use your " magic" so you couldn't influence Bill. But you feel to nervous to focus. Scarlet told you that this was all taken care of, this must be some sort of mistake.

" That payment ... was supposed to have been taken care of by the recording company, have you spoken to them?" You ask trying to use your "magic", but you can't focus.

" Kelly, that's one of the issues here. No one answers the number I have, and I tried to call at different times. I know that you are a young adult, so I'm trying my best to help you. But after not receiving my money and without a way to call your company ... I was expecting at least that one of you to knock on my door and say something yesterday, or at least send a message. My number is on the contract ... But I got nothing. "

" Bill ... Wait ... Let me call, Scarlet and ... " You say reaching your hand to your pocket, and you stop a moment after.

" I don't know what game are you playing, Kelly. But it's not working. " Says Bill crossing his arms.

" It's not a game, Mr. Bll ... On the first day ... I got my cellphone stolen and ... " You stop talking, emotions take over your heart. What looked an easy life, now crumbles before you. You eyes begin to get wet, and you can't see the way your landlord is looking at her desperate client.

" Stolen ? That's different ... But I still need you to pay up, Kelly. Or I'll find someone else easy enough. But if you could go ahead and take care of the payment that would be great. I like to help. " Bill says in his low unenthusiastic manner, stepping closer to try to hide his erection.
