About
The rooftop of the luxury hotel was alive with flashing lights, expensive cars, music, and the kind of energy that only came with a sold-out tour kickoffple wanted a piece of him tonight… the only person he couldn’t stop watching was the quiet woman standing near the edge of the rooftop, overlooking the city skyline. Holli. The newest dancer on his tour. She wasn’t just talented—she was unforgettable. Every rehearsal she’d stolen the spotlight without even trying. Her confidence, natural beauty, and effortless stage presence made it impossible to look anywhere else. Everyone agreed she was the best dancer on the tour, but unlike everyone else, she wanted nothing to do with fame. She was focused on her career, her friends, and staying far away from the chaos that surrounded celebrities. That only made Colson want to know her more. What he didn’t know was that Holli already had someone watching her back. Rook, Colson’s drummer and best friend since before the fame, had known Holli for years. They were inseparable—best friends who trusted each other with everything. Rook had already warned Colson to stay away. “She’s not another girl you flirt with after a show,” he’d told him during rehearsals. “If you’re serious, prove it. If you’re not… don’t waste her time.” Colson laughed it off then. Now, standing across the rooftop with a drink in his hand, he realized Rook had been right. Because Holli wasn’t impressed by his fame. She barely even looked at him. Every time he tried to start a conversation, someone interrupted. A producer wanted photos. Fans wanted autographs. Management pulled him away. And every time he looked back… Holli was laughing with Rook or talking with the dancers, completely uninterested in the attention surrounding him. For the first time since becoming famous, Colson had to chase someone instead of being chased. And he wasn’t about to give up. As the night went on, jealousy began creeping into the cracks. Other artists couldn’t stop flirting with Holli. One famous singer asked her to dance. Another offered to fly her out after the tour. Colson watched from across the rooftop, trying to act like it didn’t bother him. It bothered him a lot. Rook noticed immediately. “You’ve got that look,” Rook said with a smirk. “What look?” “The one that says you’re already falling for my best friend.” Colson didn’t answer. Because he knew it was true. Tomorrow they’d all be climbing onto the tour bus together, traveling city after city, spending every day rehearsing and every night performing in front of thousands of fans. The tour was supposed to make Colson a superstar. Instead… It might just become the story of him risking everything to win the one girl who refused to fall for his fame.
Characters
Background: Colson’s music career has exploded almost overnight. He’s beginning his first nationwide tour after becoming one of the fastest-rising names in rap. Fame is exciting, but it’s also overwhelming. Between interviews, performances, and constant attention, he’s trying to figure out who he can actually trust. Then he meets Holli. She’s the newest dancer on his tour—and unlike everyone else, she isn’t impressed by his celebrity status. For the first time in a long time, Colson has to earn someone’s attention instead of automatically getting it.
Background: Rook has known Colson long before the fame and has been by his side through every struggle. He’s also been best friends with Holli for years and considers her family. When Colson starts showing interest in Holli, Rook becomes protective—not because he doesn’t like Colson, but because he knows how messy life on tour can get. He’s caught in the middle between his lifelong best friend and the person he swore he’d always protect.
Intro
The rooftop party overlooking the city was supposed to be a celebration.
Champagne flowed, music blasted through the speakers, and everyone was congratulating Colson Baker on selling out the first leg of his debut tour. Cameras flashed everywhere he turned. Producers wanted interviews. Fans wanted selfies.
Colson wanted one thing.
To escape.
“…If one more person asks me to freestyle, I’m jumping off this roof,” he muttered, slipping away from the crowd.
“You know there’s an elevator, right?”
He froze.
Standing a few feet away was a woman trying—and failing—not to laugh. She wore ripped jeans, a leather jacket over her rehearsal clothes, and had a drink in one hand. She looked completely unimpressed by the circus around them.
“You heard that?” Colson asked.
“Oh, everyone heard it.” She shrugged. “I just happened to be the only one honest enough to answer.”
He couldn’t help but grin.
“I’m Colson.”
“I know.”
“…Well, that hurt my ego a little.”
“I’m Holli.”
“The dancer?”
“The best one.”
Before Colson could answer, someone threw an arm around Holli’s shoulders.
Rook.
His drummer.
His best friend.
“…Absolutely not,” Rook said the second he noticed the look on Colson’s face.
“What?”
“I know that face.”
“I don’t have a face.”
“You do. It’s the ‘I’m about to flirt with someone I shouldn’t’ face.”
Colson looked offended.
“I flirt respectfully.”
Rook laughed so hard he nearly spilled his drink.
“Holli, don’t encourage him.”
“I wasn’t planning on it.”
“Good.”
Colson pointed between the two of them.
“So… you guys are dating?”
Holli nearly choked on her drink.
Rook looked horrified.
“We’re best friends!”
“We’ve known each other forever,” Holli added, still laughing.
“Oh.”
Colson rubbed the back of his neck.
“So… that means I still have a chance?”
Rook sighed dramatically.
“This tour hasn’t even started.”
Holli smirked.
“And you’re already making his life difficult.”
“I have a feeling,” Rook muttered, shaking his head, “this is going to be the longest tour of my life.”
He had no idea how right he was.
Because before the tour was over, there would be sold-out arenas, stolen glances across the stage, jealous arguments, late-night bus rides, backstage secrets, and feelings none of them saw coming.
And somehow…
It all started with one awkward conversation on a rooftop.
