Rejected. No rings and the line could be busy or the phone off; a few rings and maybe Adam can’t answer. Two rings means he had chosen not to answer. Kris would not stalk. He left a message and then thought how dumb that was after Adam rejected his call. At least all he said was the time he called and for Adam to call him back if he wanted. Kris was not surprised Adam didn’t call back.
Gina called Kris and told him Rick Lorry from the label wanted to meet with them. Kris hoped the meeting was about setting a release date for his new album. Gina and he met Rick at a swanky Brentwood Café.
“Hi Kris, you look good. I heard part of your album and I think you got yourself another multi platinum hit.”
“I hope so when will it be released?”
“Looking at September 15 so in about six weeks. Hopefully, the rumors of you being gay will die down and no others will crop up.”
Gina snorted, “Depends on good old Adam Lambert, he is getting way too much press considering his claim to fame is molesting Kris.”
“Adam Lambert won’t be running to the press on anything related to Kris unless we want him to. In fact, it is now in his interest to keep away from Kris as much as possible.”
Gina shook her head, “He is smart and knows how to get around things. I already tried to buy him off with money.”
“Well I bought him off with a record deal. 19E has complete control over Adam Lambert and he has agreed to stay away from Kris.”
Kris turned to Rick, “You gave him a record deal just to stay away from me?”
“Partly. The guy is actually quite talented and likeable. He may even end up selling a few records. Either way, we gave him a record deal to keep him in the box and you out of the headlines. You certainly haven’t been doing a great job of it for your own sake. I think Adam is a little more disciplined and won’t risk his success for a good lay, no offense.”
Kris was pissed. That certainly explained why Adam rejected his call. Gina was angry,
“I am happy you have neutralized him but I can’t see rewarding bad behavior. He is a manipulator and is using Kris to get publicity.”
“Well, he is a self promoter and we may even be able to use him to help Kris gain an edgier following while keeping his conservative fan base.”
Kris went home and was hurt that Adam had used him. He texted Adam knowing that he was now immune from Adam going to the media. Congrats on record deal. I guess when it is your career you have more discipline. Kris was hurt and felt worse when again Adam chose to ignore him.
Katy called Kris a few days later,
“Kris I am sending you the divorce papers. I want to move on and you seem to have managed to keep the truth hidden enough from getting outed,” said Katy in a disgusted tone.
“I wouldn’t shed anymore tears for the great Adam Lambert because the label just gave him a record deal to keep his mouth shut,” Kris said bitterly.
“Kris, you destroyed the guy’s life and publicly humiliated him just for liking you. You claimed you felt bad and now you are mad he is getting a break? I think you have been in Hollywood too long. I thought the trip to Africa might get your head on straight but I guess not. Maybe you should reinvent yourself because your nice guy routine is wearing thin. Let me know when you sign the papers.”
Katy hung up. Kris was depressed. His marriage was about to formally end, his crush had rejected him and he was being chased down by Perez Hilton. Kris wondered if it was karma and what he would need to do to fix it. Maybe Katy was right and he should be happy for Adam. Kris was determined to become a better person by just focusing on his music and helping people.
Gina had several meeting with 19E’s media experts and told Kris the company line was they signed Adam because he was very talented and that Kris had no hard feeling toward Adam.
Kris saw an opportunity to make ammends, “Maybe Adam and I should appear to get along again by doing some joint event.”
Gina looked at Kris like he was slow, “Kris, the label signed Adam to control him and keep him from damaging your reputation. I hardly think they want you two to be seen together which would just rehash gay rumors. They simply want to stop people like Perez from going after you because they think you’re a homophobe. I think the label was clear about you staying away from him.”
Kris just nodded in disappointment, “Katy sent me the divorce papers and wants me to sign immediately.”
“Well, I guess the timing is OK. We can probably keep it quiet a few more weeks.”
Kris looked at Gina, “Sorry my personal life is making your job so complicated. I should have timed my marriage falling apart better.”
Gina looked at Kris confused, “Anyway, I think things should calm down with Adam under control. Let’s focus on getting you some positive publicity for your soon to be released album.”
Kris ended up booked everyday for the next month doing publicity events. A week later his divorce became final and the media found out. Perez of course claimed that Katy left Kris because of his possible affair with the newly signed Adam Lambert. He also hinted that Adam was signed to the same label to control him with the media. Kris’ fans voiced their displeasure at the media painting their idol in a gay light claiming Kris was just a good forgiving person. Gina tried to control the next round of interviews by requesting the reporters not mention Adam Lambert. Unfortunately, the tactic was leaked and added more fuel to the fire.
On the flip-side, Adam was getting a lot of attention because several A-listers began talking him up in the media. His Glitterfest show was very popular among the Hollywood elite. It also helped that female stars seemed to love him since he was gay. Kris was happy that Adam was getting positive recognition but sad that he couldn’t be apart of it. Kris wished he could just forget Adam Lambert.
A week before his album would be released, Kris attended a fellow label artist’s album release party. He invited his brother to go with him rather than a bandmate to avoid further gay speculation. He arrived and his attention was immediately drawn to a decked out Adam Lambert doing shots with some other similarly leather clad people. Kris thought they looked like they were attending an S&M club rather than a record release party. Especially, because most of the other guests were more low key, soft pop/folk music fans. Kris made the rounds greeting industry people while watching Adam and his crew have a good time.
Kris was drinking a beer at the bar alone since Daniel was getting his game on with several attractive women that were way out of his league.
“I hope you are not planning to mess Adam up because he can’t afford to go to jail or the hospital tonight. He has a photo shoot in the morning.”
Kris looked over and saw Brad glaring at him, “When will I get the chance? He will probably be too busy fucking you in a bathroom stall.” Both Kris and Brad were shocked by Kris’ words.
Brad recovered soon enough, “Jealous, bitch? Trust me, I will do whatever it takes to keep Adam away from you because you are not good for him.”
Kris was glad he was sober otherwise he would not have been able to control his fist. He glared at Brad,
“You better walk away before I do something you regret.”
“Bring it on, bitch, you wouldn’t dare risk hurting the goody two shoe image you try to cultivate. You even let an innocent man rot in jail because you won’t admit to liking dick.”
Sober or not, Kris lost it and punched Brad in the face. The next thing he knew he was rolling around on the ground and they were being broken up by Jake and club security. Cameras were going off everywhere. Kris looked over and saw Adam coming over with a shocked expression. He went by Brad which made matters worse. Brad was yelling and Kris heard him say
“That bitch attacked me because he was jealous that we were together.”
Kris cringed and saw Adam do the same. Jake suggested they leave. Brad yelled after Kris,
“I am going to file assault charges. Let’s see how you like going to jail, bitch. You might like it since you can get fucked up the ass and then just claim it was rape.”
Kris felt Jake trying to pull him toward the door. Unfortunately, Police arrived on scene and an officer turned to Kris,
“Mr. Allen, we will need a statement.”

Life could not have taken more than a 180 for Adam. He had a record deal, was invited to A-list parties, had a record deal and positive media attention. There was no way he was going to risk his good fortune on a man that turned his back on him not once but twice. Yes, rejecting the call was easy. As long as Adam could avoid seeing or hearing about Kris Allen he would be able to move on quite easily.
Adam understood the label signed him to shut him up but he planned to take it as an opportunity. He agreed to a crazy recording schedule that began almost immediately after signing. Adam was shocked that plenty of songwriters were willing to help him on the album. His show had given him quite a bit of exposure to industry types that could make his dreams possible. It was little over a month after signing and he had six songs recorded. Adam was hoping to release a single by mid-September and an album to follow couple weeks later.
Adam got invited to one of the artists he met in while recording one of his songs. Although musically they were very different, they had got on well and Adam wanted to show support. Adam decided to bring Brad and some of his friends from his show. It was fairly boring but they had free booze so that made up for it. Adam and his friends were on their fifth shot which did not bode well. Adam noticed Brad was missing but didn’t care because he had been acting moody all night. Adam assumed it was because Joey was working a lot of double shifts.
Adam scanned the room again and then noticed a ruckus near the bar. He was horrified to see Brad on the floor pulling Kris Allen’s hair. Adam ran over as security broke them up. He went by Brad whose nose was bleeding.
“What happened?”
“That douche-bag punched me. That bitch attacked me because he was jealous that we were together.”
Adam cringed at Brad’s words and hoped he would shut up. Adam saw Kris being guided to the door by his bodyguard. Brad yelled after Kris,
“I am going to file assault charges. Let’s see how you like going to jail, bitch. You might like it since you can get fucked up the ass and then just claim it was rape.”
Adam grabbed Brad’s arm and said low, “Shut-up before you make more of a scene.”
“Good. That fucker-
“Brad, calm down.”
One of the officers came over, “Hi Brad, what happened?”
Brad looked up, “Oh hi, Paul. I was attacked.
Adam pushed Brad, “Officer, Brad is just upset, he doesn’t want to press charges.”
“Oh yes I do.”
“No, Brad, you don’t because the label will fuck me over since you are my guest.”
Brad looked at Adam, “Well how does keeping quiet benefit me? This is my chance at fame. It is not my fault that pussy can’t control his temper.”
The cop looked at Brad, “Do you want to make a statement, Brad?”
“Yes. Kris Allen assaulted me so you can arrest him.”
Adam grabbed Brad’s chin and turned his face to look at him, “Please Brad, let it go. I am begging you.”
“I can’t believe you are still protecting that douche. You may be enamored with Kris Allen but I am not and you haven’t been treating me good enough to give in to your request.” Brad became thoughtful, “What are you willing to do for me to not press charges?”
“What do you want?” Adam hoped Brad would thing of something relatively innocuous.
Brad turned to the police officer, “Paul, let me have a few minutes to get my statement together.” Paul walked away.
Adam looked at Brad and hoped to distract him from being…Brad, “How do you know that cop?”
“I meet a lot of cops since I am dating one. Anyway, you have to be my slave for a month and not just like domestic help either. Along with doing my laundry and cleaning my apartment, you have to give me massages, blow jobs and anything else I think up.”
Fuck, “I am way too busy for that. Be reasonable. I don’t have time to do housework.”
“Fine, then you can just be my masseur and sex slave.”
“What about your boyfriend?”
“He can service himself. So sex slave for a month or I press charges against your pathetic crush.”
Adam cjust shook his head, “Be more reasonable.”
“Two weeks.”
Adam was drunk and needed to salvage this situation, “How about threes weeks of just massages.”
“Get real. You are good masseur but I like your cock in me much more. Let’s compromise. Only two weeks and I get unlimited massages with happy endings.”
Adam weighed his options, “Fine. Two weeks and it cannot interfere with my work.”
Brad smiled mischievously, “You really are easy, Adam and I mean that in all contexts. Kiss me to solidify the deal.”
Adam kissed Brad short on the lips. Brad put his hand behind Adam’s head and pulled him in for a deeper kiss. Adam let it go on for a few seconds before pulling back. He looked over toward where Kris had been standing and saw Kris looking at them with a hurt expression. Adam felt like shit. Brad seemed to notice,
“Babe, you are going to thank me for this later. You have no self control so I made sure you didn’t screw up your life. Surely, two weeks of my fabulousness is worth it. It is almost like getting a rebate on a free gift.”
“More like getting taxed on an extortion payment. Tell your buddy, Paul you are dropping the charges and let’s go before I get dropped from the label.”
Brad spoke to Paul for a few minutes and then left with Adam. Adam was still really buzzed. They went back to Brad’s apartment. Brad was sobering up and whining about his “broken” nose. Adam chuckled,
“He hit you pretty good and I think the photos are going to be hysterical. You realize you fight like a total girl.”
“Damn straight I do. I am too pretty to fight like a man. Besides, pulling hair and scratching is very effective against a formidable opponent. Now why don’t you come here and make good on your deal.”
“Isn’t Joey going to mind our arrangement?”
“Not at all since he isn’t going to know about it. He is working a lot lately so he can make some money to take me to the Caribbean. You know I am not very good at being faithful when left alone. So actually, I am doing him a favor by just occupying myself with you.”
Adam laughed, “How will he not know when you are going to be featured all over the tabloids to a shot of us kissing since you insisted on being affectionate in public. Not too smart.”
“No worries, I’ll pull a Kris Allen and say you kissed me. I’ll take my blow job now.”
Adam grudgingly complied. At least he still found Brad hot and really it was kind of nice to have sex again. Once he finished he decided to head back home even though he was still slightly buzzed. He was thankful there were no paparazzi and hoped Kris was OK. He knew it was a bad idea but he texted Kris. Are u ok? Sorry 4 2nite. Adam was surprised when his phone rang.
“Sorry your boyfriend goaded me or sorry I didn’t get arrested?”
Adam realized he didn’t even know what the fight had been about.
“Did Brad start with you? What happened?”
“Didn’t your boyfriend tell you? He warned me to stay away from you and then just became obnoxious.”
“Brad can be very obnoxious. Listen, I am not supposed to have any contact with you so I should get off the phone. I just wanted to make sure you were OK.”
“I’m fine. By the way, congratulations on the record deal. I really hope it works out. You are an amazing performer and people should get to experience your talent. I better get some sleep because I am going to get crucified by the media,” Kris laughed.
Adam loved the sound, “You know what they say, any publicity is good publicity.”
Kris laughed again, “I am not sure attacking my stalker’s boyfriend is a sales booster…”
Adam continued joking, “It makes you seem more passionate.”
“That is a euphemism for psychotic. But I guess it was kind of crazy. Since meeting you, I seem to be doing a lot of things I wouldn’t normally do.”
“I know what you mean.” Adam really did. Both of them seemed to act recklessly and jeopardize their careers when around each other. Adam was usually methodical in his actions and was sure Kris was the same way.
“Goodnight, Adam.”
“Goodnight, Kris.”
Adam hung up and decided it was time to sleep. He had a feeling he was going to have an impromptu meeting with the label and get blamed for the mayhem. He just hoped they didn’t stop producing his album and leave him out to dry.
