Chapter One -Ready to share with the world
Ryker
“Baby girl, are you sure you are ready to do this?” I asked Alena as we were laying in one of the bunks on the tour bus.
“Yes, most people think we are together anyway, so it is time to make it official,” She said, “We have been together for two months, I am sure I am ready,” She added giggling.
It was crazy. I couldn’t believe it had been two months already. We would be heading to Europe in a month for that leg of the tour, and I was excited that she was coming with me, not only as my photographer but my girlfriend.
“Ok, if you are sure, my love,” I smiled, kissing her softly.
I was looking forward to telling the world that we were together, officially, even though most of them have worked it out. I slipped my arm around her, pulling her close. She rested her head on my chest. I grabbed my phone, snapping a photo of us. I had plenty, but I wanted a new one to post on my social media. I knew most people would support us; they were all rooting for us from the night I introduced her. But there would be some that won’t be happy because you can never please everyone. And if anyone says anything bad to her, I will not hesitate to pull them up for it. She was my girl, and I was going to have her back and protect her in every way I can. I love my fans, but I will not stand back and let them be horrible to Alena.
I opened my i********:, ready to write a post. I added the photo I just took, plus another three I already had. One of us kissing, one of her on her own and one of us being silly. I hid my phone from her, so she couldn’t see what I was posting, she would see it when I added her into the post because if I show her before she will probably try to change something, like the photo of her on her own, even though it was beautiful. I thought for a moment on what to write and started typing. I decided to keep it short but made sure it said enough, letting the hashtags and photos speak for themselves.
Ryker King - I know this is what you have all been waiting for, for a while. So have I, and I finally got my girl. I am in love for the first time in my life.

I smiled brightly, tagging her into it before posting it for the world to see. I made sure it posted before sitting my phone aside. Alena’s phone went, telling me the tag worked fine. She nervously opened it.
“Ryker,” She gushed, turning to me, “That is beautiful,” She added, kissing me.
“We are official now, baby girl,” I smiled.
She turned back to her phone, turning it away from me, the same way I did with her. I checked my i********:, the post already had thousands of likes and comment, but her one caught my eye.
Alena Torres - I love you, baby boy X
I smiled widely when I see her reply. I took her phone from her, setting it aside with my own, and kissing her. She whimpered into my lips, her arms going around my neck. I grabbed her hips, pulling her over me and closing the small curtain of the bunk. I put all my attention back onto my gorgeous girlfriend, our lips in a heated kiss. I ran my hands down her back, grabbing her ass.
“Time to get up, we are here, so stop doing whatever you are doing,” we hear Tony say, banging on the bunk.
“Piss off, dude, we are busy,” I said annoyed.
“You can celebrate your cheesy, yet cute making it official post later,” He said laughing.
Alena giggled, moving from on top of me, must to my dismay. We could continue where we left off later, but first, I have an interview to do before soundcheck.
“Come on, my love, we can continue later,” Alena said.
I groaned, rolling my eyes and nodded my head. I still had to get dressed, and so did Alena. I couldn’t show up at my interview in only my boxers. I am sure the fans would love it, my team, not so much.
“Are you ready for this? There will be fans and press at the radio show and probably the arena too,” I asked Alena as we got ready.
“Not really, but it is something that I will need to get used to. You know since I am the girlfriend of a Rockstar and all now,” Alena laughed, stealing a quick kiss.
Yes, it was something she would need to get used to or try, but sometimes it is all too much. I just hope the press don’t hound her too much. I don’t want Alena having to deal with all that.
“I will be right by your side through it all,” I said, wrapping my arm around her as we headed to the front of the bus to join the others.
“The internet is blowing up with you two. It is all over social media; the press is having a field day,” Tony said.
“We expected it, it will hopefully die down in a few days when they find something else to report about,” I said.
I don’t know if that would be the case, especially since it has to do with me. I swear, I keep the press in jobs. I am one of their favourite people to write about, and it isn’t always fair. I was partly to blame for that, with the way I used to act, but if I never gave them something to write about, they made something up or brought old stories back to life.
“Hopefully,” Alena said, her head on my shoulder.
I knew at my radio interview; the first question was going to be regarding Alena and me. I don’t mind. I will happily gush about my incredible girlfriend to the world, as long as they don’t get too personal.
“You prepared for this interview?” Toni asked.
“Yes, as ready as I can be,” I smiled.

I was waiting to go in and get my interview started. I was sitting in the green room waiting, Alena on my lap. I was doing an acoustic performance for them, so the band was here too.
“Ryker, Max is ready for you,” one of the employs said coming in.
I smiled, thanking her. Alena removed herself from my lap. I stood, stealing a kiss.
“I love you,” I said.
“I love you too, have fun,” She smiled.
I love you, words I never thought I would ever say to anyone, and now I say it to Alena, many times a day. I headed into the studio, saying hello to Max. I have been here before, a few times.
“Good morning everyone, we now have Ryker King with us,” He said, “I know you have all been excited for this since he hasn’t been in for a while,” He added.
“Hey everyone, it is good to back,” I said, “I hope you are all doing great on this beautiful morning,” I added.
After I said, my hello’s Max and I chatted back and forth. We were talking about my music, the tour and life. I liked Max. He was a good host and a nice guy.
“Now that we have covered other things let’s talk about the thing that the world seems to freaking out over,” He laughed.
“I wonder what that could be,” I chuckled.
“Your gorgeous new girlfriend,” He said, smiling at me.
“Not new, we have been together for a couple of months now,” I laughed, “We just never told anyone until this morning,” I added.
“There was a lot of speculation going on, there has been for months, but you seem very happy and very in love,” He said.
“Yes, I think most people had worked out that Alena and I were together,” I said, “And yes, I am very happy indeed, and very much in love,” I added in a gush.
“Good, about blooming time,” He chuckled, “Am I right in saying that Alena started as your photographer?” He added.
“Yes, that is how we met,” I said, “And she still is,” I added.
Max and I chatted about Alena for a little while before we moved on. I could see Alena standing and watching us, with a very red face. It was cute to watch, but I thought I should stop embarrassing her.
“So can we expect new music anytime soon from you?” He asked.
“I am working on, but there is still a lot to do; hopefully, a new album will be ready for release in a few months,” I said.
I had been working on new music, something different from my usual stuff. And this time, I have convinced my team to let me use some of it for the new album. Alena has inspired a lot of it. The lyrics I usually write can be pretty sad and depressing, but it was my story, but now they weren’t all like that. Some of them were happy, and some were love songs. I had a mixture of everything this time around.
The interview lasts for a good half an hour before we were taking a short break before performing my acoustic session. I was playing two songs.
I would say my first interview since making Alena and I official has gone well.
