"Up in the club with my homies
Tryna get a little V-I
Keep it down on the low-key (low-key)
'Cause you know how it feels (hey, hey)
I saw this shorty, she was checkin' up on me
From the game she was spittin' in my ear
You would think that she know me (know me)
I decided to chill (okay)"
In this first verse, the audience went crazy, with the entrance of a man, young and handsome, who entered the stage, surprising the entire audience with his spectacular voice. He sang and danced at the same time and did both very proficiently.
Despite it being his first performance, Ace definitely didn't feel the pressure.
"Watch out, my outfit's ridiculous
In the club, lookin' so conspicuous
And, rawr, these women all on the prowl
If you hold the head steady…"
Now he performed the rap part in an equally spectacular way, clearly he was born for this and the public, recognizing this, did everything they could to follow him and respond to him through his dancing.
Sweat ran down everyone's bodies on the dance floor as each one swayed and shook to the rhythm that Ace dictated and continued like this until the end.
" Hey guys, I hope you enjoyed this short presentation, I'll definitely be back here later to do a longer one. So see you later and don't forget to buy my CD "Yeah" on physical media or on all legal digital music platforms. " After finishing his presentation and the applause that followed it, Ace said these words to close his presentation.
He then went back behind the curtain, where he began talking to his group of friends, his agent, and the venue manager.
They stayed there talking for a few minutes when one of the women from production approached, attracting their attention, she arrived, whispered something in the manager's ear and walked away.
" Mr. Ace, a VIP client would like to speak with you. It's Paris Hilton, she invited you to her box, what do you think? "
Arthur highly doubted she would appreciate her friends being there, but he felt bad leaving them behind right now.
"Of course he will! It is extremely important that you make these contacts Arthur. " It was noticing this brief moment of indecision that Jessie decided to speak, Arthur gave her a grateful look and nodded to the manager.
He said goodbye to Jaime and José with a hand shake and gave Jessie a goodbye hug before following the manager to one of the nightclub's boxes. Arriving at a specific door, the manager knocked on the door and then opened it.
Arthur, who was right behind him, was able to see the entire interior over the manager's shoulder. Inside there were approximately 15 people, sitting at a table drinking and talking, at the head of the table sat the central figures of the box, Paris HIlton and Nicole Richie, a little behind the first was the young Kim Kardashian standing.
It was 2003 and she still had a completely different appearance from the one she achieved in the later stages of her life in Arthur's previous world, however it was impossible for him not to recognize her, she who would be one of the most successful women in the future. At the current time she was still at the beginning of her journey towards future success.
However, Arthur didn't waste much time standing still, looking inside the room and quickly followed the manager inside.
With the appearance of the two strangers in the room, the entire room's attention logically focused on them. But looking at Arthur from whom they had just watched a magnificent performance just now, all the confusion dissipated into thin air.
After informing Miss Paris of the guest's arrival, the manager soon left the room.
"Hey, you're Ace, right? Come sit next to me, my friend and I wanted to meet you. "As if on cue, the girl in the chair closest to young Miss Hilton, without being Nicole's friend, stood up, giving up her seat.
The group was sitting at a rectangular table, sitting at the head and sharing it, were friends Paris and Nicole, two young women from the upper class, who grew up with a golden spoon in their mouths.
Later that year, the two would premiere the Reality Show "The Simple Life" where the two would be exposed to the country experiencing the common life of an American. In reality, this year would be complete chaos for Paris Hilton's life and would definitely boost her image in the media.
2003 was the year that her sex tape with her then boyfriend was leaked, although this would only happen at the end of the year. Currently Paris was still single, but she was already famous for her short-term relationships, so one-night stands were normal and from the way she looked at Arthur who had just sat down in a nearby chair, she would definitely be leaving here today. .
"Hey Ace, it's nice to meet you, this is my friend Nicole. "
Without giving Ace time to respond, Nicole introduced herself into the conversation.
"Hey Ace, how old are you? Are you new as a singer? "
Nicole, who was nearby, was the first to ask, with Arthur settling down in the chair, Kim appeared to serve him a glass of drink.
"Actually, I'm new, this is my first song, what do you think? It's a pleasure to meet you too, it's always nice to meet 3 beautiful women. " He "accidentally" forgot to answer about his age.
" Three? "
" Yes, your attendant is also beautiful Miss Paris. "
"To be my attendant, this is the least she could be, sit with us too Kim. "
Without opening her mouth, she followed her boss's orders. Sitting down on a nearby chair.
Both Kim and Paris were two women who loved fame and would do anything for it and that was something that time would prove, Kim always had a good living situation and yet she was here, acting as Paris Hilton's attendant, for a only reason, she was her path to fame and definitely at that moment Kim would not disobey her.
"I loved his song Ace, and I love it even more now that I'm seeing the singer's appearance, it makes us imagine so many things, you know. But the song is really incredible, I couldn't sit still listening to you sing. I've never heard anything like that. She made my body totally hot Ace."
" It's a relief to know that my music is getting recognition, this is just my beginning in music. And please don't call me Ace, you can call me Arthur, I prefer to have a more intimate relationship with you."
Both Paris and Nicole were the beauty stereotype of that time, especially the former who had been working as a model since she was a teenager. Perhaps all this charm of rich girls that were until then something distant for Arthur had moved him a little and he found himself strangely involved in the conversation and the shameless flirting of the conversation with the three women. Unexpectedly, Kim was the shyest among them, perhaps she had not yet been corrupted by the atmosphere and luxurious life in this short time as an attendant. This shyness ended up making her stay more aside in the conversation, however Nicole and Paris were not shy at all and were not afraid of their image to others.
Therefore, the two constantly rubbed their legs with his under the table and especially Paris, who was closest, had longer contact with him during the conversation.
Arthur obviously would not be intimidated by the two and was as proactive as they were in flirting. So time passed with them drinking and talking, after becoming a little more familiar with each other, the trio got up to dance, Kim, who was still far from her later beauty, ended up being left aside.
The room they were in was upstairs, so they had a clear view of the entire dance floor and the stage. The two weren't nearly as good dancers as Beyoncé, which hindered the dance's charm, but despite this, they had a habit of going to nightclubs, so they managed to do well. Furthermore, Arthur needed to divide his attention between the two women during the dance who were in a kind of small competition.
The three were already sweating from dancing when Paris took a moment to go to the bathroom. With the loss of a dance partner, the two decided to return to the table and rest a little, Arthur arrived and sat in the same place as before, but to his surprise, Nicole, who had also already sat in her original place, she got up and sat on his lap.
Without giving him time to react, she began to speak.
" Hey Arthur, Paris and I are going to premiere a reality show on television soon, it will be called "The Simple Life" and the theme will be the two of us experiencing a "normal" life, I think it would be cool if we recorded an episode with you introducing us to the Bronx. "
