[Max,Tyler] Three's Company

[Charlie Pierce]

Charlie rest her chin on Max shoulder as he gave her a piggy back ride around on set. “ Tell em that it’s my birthday, they don’t know so it’s okay,” sang to herself quietly before moving to rest her cheek on his shoulder instead of her chin. “ Kingsley!” share said tiredly as they came closer to everyone on set. Charlie squeezed her arms around Max’s body tightly as she moved her legs away from his body and hopped down. “ Thanks, handsome” she said as she moved away from him and put her hair behind her ear. She turned to the side, lifting the side of her shirt up so that the crew could set up her mic and get everything in place. “ Are you boys ready?” she asked with a happy bounce of her shoulders. Charlie looked in the mirror fixing her lipstick before she moved to the middle chair so she could sit between the both of them. Charlie brought her hands up to the back of her neck and flipped her hair so that it came forward over her shoulders and looked fuller. As she crossed her legs, she watched Max as he moved, how easily the smile came to his lips. How badly she wanted to bite them. Or just taste them. Quite honestly.. do anything with them. Charlie snapped herself out of her thoughts as the boys sat down beside her. She couldn’t help but smile as she bounced her foot that was pointed in Max’s direction and looked back towards the camera. The rest of the crew was finishing setting up and quickly they were starting to count down, giving a point in her direction. “ Welcome to an exclusive with Taboo. I’m Charlie Pierce and I have the absolute pleasure of getting to interview two of the hottest up and coming boys in music. Not only that but I think I get to pop both of their ‘first interview’ cherries. Best threesome I’ve ever had. We have Tyler Kingsley, winner of the best directed music video of the year and someone who is become a Taboo golden child in his own right, as well as opening for Joel Foster. Alongside for the tour, Max. Max is up for Artist to Watch, and if the girls on the streets are any indications… he’ll definitely be winning that award. Boys.. You two, Joel Foster… that has to be a lot of hair gel on tour. How has it been so far?” she asked while looking at Tyler but then moved her gaze over to Max where she tried to contain biting the edge of her lip while smiling. “ Also.. you’ve gotta tell me. Three guys on a tour. You all have girlfriends.. what sort of trouble are you getting yourselves into?”

Max sat down beside Tyler after greeting his friend, leaning back in his chair and looked over at Charlie expectantly as she started the interview. He was going to have to make a conscious effort not to look at her ass in those shorts. Not that it mattered, she knew he was into her. But viewers might notice him checking her out. And he had a 'girlfriend'. So. Charlie didn't want to make a bad situation out of it so he'd agreed to be friends with her, though he was almost positive she liked him too. Damn his management and their ideas. Honestly it wasn't anyone's fault. It would have worked out perfectly, was in fact, for his reputation as relatable. It was just that no one had anticipated Charlie. Max hadn't. Not that he minded. Max waved to the camera, "Hey viewers," and smiled. "Tour has been great so far," Max said looking at Tyler who nodded in agreement. "I mean Tyler or I perform, sometimes together, my music or his, our we'll do some band stuff. Joel does his thing. Other than that we just hang out. Skateboard. Joel eats grass. We don't. It's a great group dynamic," he grinned. Charlie asked them if they had gotten into any trouble. "Trouble in general or with our girlfriends?" Tyletr shrugged, "Or both?" "Oh yeah, both. We got kicked out of a restaurant last week." "That was Max's fault." "It wasn't just my fault." "The first week of tour Joel's manager told us if we didn't behave we couldn't tour with him." "I don't know why he would expect that of us. Ever. Plus Tyler is always in trouble with his girlfriend. Always." Max joked. "Although, I did forget, the day before we came back from Europe, Tyler almost got hit by a car," Max laughed. Tyler grinned sheepishly, "You're exaggerating." "Tylerlikes to play chicken with cars. Also, Mrs. Kingsley, you owe me a pot pie for keeping your kid from becoming road pizza. I'm like Batman. Saved the day."

[Charlie Pierce]

Charlie adjusted in her seat as she looked back at the boys and let them start to explain what the start of their tour had been like. A lot of mischevious behavior it sounded like. Boys will be boys. “ Well we know that Joel doesn’t get in trouble with his girlfriend. Libby is the most patient person ever,” she said before giving Tyler a pointed look. “ You on the other hand causing a ruckus with your girlfriend makes sense,” she said playfully as she mocked a glare at him. “ So we know that Libby came out, and that Kayla came out.. Did you all get a chance to sight see? Did it give you a different outlook for the tour? What about you Max.. what were your favorite moments of being able to share the tour experience with your girlfriend?” she asked with a lifted eyebrow in his direction. Charlie licked her lips as she sat up a bit straighter in her chair. “ What kind of influence have the loved ones had in your life, Tyler? You and your girlfriend have been together for a little over a year now, yeah? It’s safe to say that she was proud of you for winning such an amazing award.. at such a young age, and honestly you’re still new to all of this. Was it overwhelming? What do you have to say to the people that think you might not deserve it since you’ve only been on the scene for such a short amount of time? Do you have the support where it counts?”

[Tyler James Kingsley]

Tyler nodded, "Yeah we all went sightseeing here and there. I think it was a much needed testosterone break for sure," he laughed. "But it was cool because it also was a good break from the tour routine, wake up, travel, perform, sleep. It gave us all something to look forward to." "Yeah, when my girl was out, we did some sightseeing, took her to lunch. She wanted to ride my Vespa, but I told her hands off." Tyler looked over at Max and then at Charlie and said nothing. He knew nothing. Saw nothing. Tyler cleared his throat, nodding, "Yes, i definitely have support where it counts. It's been a little overwhelming, a little intimidating," he laughed, "But the people that say I'm not deserving, I don't even know if deserving is the right word, you can't really judge how much a person 'deserves', I think maybe questioning if I've earned it makes more sense. But i'm not just some kid that woke up one day and used my family or friends to get me in the door and decided hey, I wanna make videos. I've been making videos my entire life. I did a lot of stuff at school with video production in class, we had like an AV club type thing, and I learned a lot there. My mom used to sign me up for workshops at NYU when I was younger. Plus just being able to be creative and make videos with my friends, coming up with creative premises and plots, or messing with angles. For my age, I know I'm not as old as others in the industry but I've put in a lot of time and I think that shows. Plus I and so lucky to have such a great mentor. Collin Reynolds has been a huge influence for me. I think I've earned a spot in the industry where I can better myself. The award for best video was really a surprise-" "For everyone, we all think he sucks." Tyler shook his head, "It was a surprise for me. Maybe not so much for others. I think my girlfriend was pretty proud, she's always been my number one fan. I think she knew what I was capable of way before I did, so I think without her encouragement, I probably wouldn't have what I do right now, the opportunities and support and what else."

[Charlie Pierce]

Charlie moved her arm so that it was on the back of her chair and turned her body towards Max as he spoke about what it was like when his girl was there. Cocky little shit. “ I’m sure she was perfectly fine on her own vespa,” Charlie added with a slight shake of her head before she looked at Tyler. At least he was answering the question. Testosterone break.. that must be nice. Considering all of the grass eating that Joel was doing. She couldn’t help but smile as she listened to Tyler talking. For a boy who used to think he wouldn’t ever have anything figured out; it sure sounded like he had everything figured out. People should be proud of him. Not just because of what he had landed professionally, but look how emotionally he had grown and how mature he was becoming these past few months. “ I think we all know that Mikayla Garrity is head over heels in love with you .Well I for one am very proud of you, Kingsley. Your artistic direction shows in everything that you do and I know I speak for a lot of people when I say that we are all very excited to see what it is exactly that you decide to do next,” she said before giving him a quick wink. “ Alright, Mr. Artist To Watch,” Charlie said as she looked back at him. Don’t smile, Max. Don’t do that smile. She couldn’t afford to melt on camera. “ Speaking of hard work and being appreciative of where you are. You’re nominated for Artist to Watch. That’s.. a huge deal. Previous winners have been Blake Parker, Natalia Richmond, Joel Foster, Ellie Ridgefield. Those are some pretty big shoes to fill. Are you ready for the fan-damonium that’s going to come? You’re a very handsome kid, women I think are going to find you quite irresistible. All of your privacy is surely about to be out the window..” she said as she finally looked down at his pants. Why were they so shiny. Charlie narrowed her eyebrows as she leaned forward and ran her hand across the fabric of his jeans before she sat back. “….They looked like a weird material,” she said before biting the edge of her lip.

[Max Ronan Reid]

Tyler grinned, "Thanks so much, you are so saweet." he said and reached over Max to pat her cheek. By the end of this interview she was going to want to hit both of them in the face. Sometimes Max forgot what it was like back when it was just him and Tyler, Kayla and Tori. Hanging out. Him and Tyler breaking things. Mrs. Kingsley grounding both of them. Charlie mentioned Mr. Artist to Watch and Max looked around jokingly before pointing to himself and grinned widely. He was still in shock about this nomination. Even if he didn't win, people start watching all the nominated artists to watch. "I'm not so sure I'm ready for THAT fan-damonium. I mean being on tour with Joel gives me a good idea of a possible future, what fans can be like. It's pretty awesome. As far as female fans go, I try to just be as nice as possible. Hug them all. Take pictures. I know you can't meet them all but you can make someone's day. I try to do that. I do think though that I have a good sense now of what I signed up for and I'm prepared to watch my privacy be tested. I know people are gonna be in my business, but you can still keep them guessi-" Max furrowed his eyebrows, looking at Charlie's hand feeling his pants. She said they looked like a weird material. "Yeah they kind of are. You know what else looks like a weird material? That weird material on your shorts, what is that between the bows, is that rayon? A polyestor/spandex mix...? It looks and feels just like human skin... what an innovation in the science of textiles," he said seriously as he poked at the skin between the bows on her shorts. Max looked over at Tyler, nodding seriously, trying not to laugh because Tyler was looking everywher but at himself and Charlie. Max turned back around and grinned at Charlie, "It looked like a weird material."

[Charlie Pierce]

Charlie couldn't help but smile as she listened to Max talk about his future. Herself and Libby had opportunities to interview a lot of people. And there was a spark about some of them, you could just tell that they were meant for so much more. Max was definitely one of those people. He would be selling out stadiums with complete ease. It seemed like it all came naturally for him. She rolled her eyes as he teased her shorts before touching her skin. She liked that more than she was willing to admit, even if it was just his fingertips. " I'm actually not wearing any underwear. It's being scandalous without being trashy, like Lindsay Lohan it Amanda Bynes and showing my cooter by trying to get out of a car like a moron," she said before lifting her leg that was pointed towards Max. " Crazy soft though right?" she said with a slight smile before she looked over at Tyler and realized that he was avoiding looking at them. Charlie lowered her leg slowly as she sat back and tried to think of a follow up question for both of them. " What's next for both of you? Professionally and personally..." she started off before lazily gesturing to Max. " Are we going to see your lovely girlfriend at the awards?" she questioned with a smug smile. It wasn't very nice of her to force him to lie. But it also wasn't very nice to herself. She didnt like the lie. And the fact that she felt like it kept her from getting to know him was really what set her off about it. Thousands of girls probably wished they could get his attention. Except she felt like she had it, and couldn't do anything with it.
