bring, or for that matter, how much I was allowed to bring. But I could always pick up things along the way. Thankfully, it was a paid internship and doing a little shopping along the way should be doable.
         I laid out all the clothes on my bed that I was sure I needed to bring. Delilah was in the bathroom, clearing off my shelf. I would need everything in there for sure. A girl needed to look her best.
         “What do you think of this stuff?” I called out to her. She came back in from the bathroom and looked at the items on the bed.
         “Looks good. What should I do with the clothes you left behind?”
         “I may get you to ship them out to me at some point, or I'll get them when I come back, but in the meantime just toss them in a garbage bag and leave them in the closet. Is that okay?”
         “Of course. We’ll just pull them back out when you come back. You are coming back, right?”
         I smiled, “I hope so. I will just have to see where I'm at by then. Maybe we’ll be moving into a nicer place with our fancy jobs.”
         I packed the items in the suitcase that I had. It was faded and had a few tears, but the zippers were still solid.
         “I better get going. I have to pack up Mr. Oliver's clothing as well.”
         Delilah snorted. “Are you serious?”
         “I couldn't be more serious. Did you really think that famous rock stars packed their own clothing?” I paused and sighed. “I better get going.”
         I wrapped my arms around her tightly. “I love you.”
    She hugged me back. “I love you too. Be safe.”
    “I will.”
    We let go and I grabbed my suitcase. I headed out of the apartment with tears in my eyes. I wasn't sure if they were tears of sadness or tears of joy.

Chapter Two
     
         Eli Oliver lived in an executive condominium in one of the best areas in the city. Just looking up at the tall high-rise was enough to make me feel dizzy. I had never been in such a nice place before and I immediately felt insecure.
         Calm down, girl, you can do this. They wanted you, remember? Okay, after that other girl, but still. Hold your head up high.This is just one of many adventures coming your way.
         Feeling inspired once again, I headed straight for the doorman and announced myself. He made a call to verify who I was and I was immediately escorted to the elevators. I was to go up to what was the equivalent of a penthouse suite in the condo world. He informed me that he would take care of my luggage and make sure it got to where it was supposed to. Relieved, I thanked him and headed on my way.
         As I headed up in the elevator, my stomach began to churn. Maybe that beer had been a bad idea after all. I was terribly nervous and the drink was threatening to come back up. I hadn't eaten much that day either due to my nervousness with waiting for the phone call. Wouldn't that be something to see? The new intern throwing up on herself. Not the best first impression, that was for sure. Not only that, but if they decided to keep me after, I would surely never hear the end of it. Getting a nickname like Pukie was not appealing to me in any way. Come on, iron stomach, you can do this!
         The doors opened right into the apartment and I stepped out hesitantly. I didn't have anything with me at that moment except my purse, and showing up with my worn out luggage would have been a little mortifying. I would try to buy some new stuff as soon as I could. I didn't want to look like a complete pauper in front of these people. Judging by the castle/apartment I had just walked into, these people were living the dream.
         I saw Dan coming my way at high speed. Wow, it was a busy place. There wasn't one person milling around doing nothing. Everyone was frantically moving like busy beeswith a mission in mind. Dan had told me during my interview that he ran a tight ship. The band was an enormous success and he
