Maya just began her work at EMI records. Luckily her father pulled some strings to get her a good position that pays well. Walking into her office she noticed a bunch of papers on her desk. " What is this? " She asked her secretary. " It's everything you need to know about them miss Goldberg " Her secretary, Helen, told her. Walking inside and sitting on her desk she begins to read through all of the papers. The band was named the Arctic Monkeys, what a silly name. They were supposed to make one of their best albums yet. Everyone mentioned how promising this band was. And everyone  talked about the lead singer. Alex Turner. He was called a womanizer by many magazines. Other people called him an asshole. A player. A cheater. She was warned to not mess with him. Not to engage with him. In any way other than a professional way.

" Mary, when will they arrive? " Maya asked Mary. Mary rushed towards the door of Maya's office and fixed her glasses before talking to her " Oh they won't arrive here, you'll have to go to the studio, they have been awfully busy " . Maya scoffed. These guys believed they were celebrities already.

Maya was a girl who had grown up in a middle class home in New York. Her mother was a nurse and her father was a lawyer. Unfortunately for her, her parents split up while she was seven year old and she never saw her father again. So she was raised by her aunt due to her mother working all the time to make ends meet. She was brunette with short brown hair and green eyes. She had a few freckles on her face too. She was of medium height and always wore high heels to every business meeting she had. Her makeup was always very minimal. Some mascara and some blush and some chap stick was enough for her. She would constantly wear sweaters and long mom jeans. Sometimes she would wear a tight skirt if she had a work, just like today. Her nails were always painted a deep glossy red. She always wore this sage jacket that she adored and always had a pair of sunglasses in it's pockets.

In her life she only had one serious relationship which was with a guy named Tanner right after she graduated from high school. Even though their relationship didn't last long it made her feel loved . A special feeling to feel. With Tanner they never passed first base. Tanner was one of these guys that save themselves for marriage. Not that that's wrong or weird but it was definitely not something Maya wanted. She needed intimacy, to feel her partner in her and to become one with him. But she believed that someday that man would be found. And that hopefully she would get married to that man. But if she didn't it would be okay. It was up to faith. She had heard only a few things about Alex from her friends who were close to her. That he was one of the prettiest men they had ever laid eyes on and that he could take them any time. One of her friends even said that she would be his booty call if he wanted it. They all seemed to treat him like a god. She did not want to form her opinion on him from what others said, she wanted to form an opinion on her own.

She walked to the studio where the Arctic Monkeys were in. Walking into the recording studio she noticed two other guys who were sitting on two chairs, they immediately got up to greet her. " Hello ma'am I'm Andy and this is Charlie " The two men said. Andy had pale skin and ginger hair . He was very tall and very skinny. The other guy, Charlie, was short and had black long hair. " I'm Maya I'm here to talk to the Arctic Monkeys " Maya said with a smile. The two men looked at each other and then back at her. " They're a bit late ma'am, they'll probably arrive soon " . Maya scoffed as she sat down at the leather couch that existed in the recording studio. After a while , four guys walked inside the recording studio. Their laughs and voices woke Maya up who had almost fallen asleep on the couch.  She got up immediately and crossed her arms at the four men who were walking up the stairs. Once they all got to the floor of the recording studio they froze at the sight of Maya.

" We're sorry we're late, terrible traffic " One of the four said. Maya did not respond anything , she just took out her notebook and wrote something down. You could tell they were all getting anxious. Even Andy and Charlie got anxious. " I'd like you to raise your hand when you hear the instrument you're playing please so I can write it down " Maya said. All of the four men nodded. " Bass? " Maya asked. " It's me miss, Nick O' Malley " Maya wrote his name down and moved onto the next instrument. " Drums " Maya said. Another one of the four raised his hand. " Matt Helders " The man said with a smile on his lips. " Guitar " " Jamie Cook " The third guy said with a smile as wide as Matt's. " Frontman " Maya said. She got no answer. She got her head out of her notebook to look at the guy who did not raise his hand. Gosh damn he was for sure handsome. " Don't you have a name? " Maya asked in a sassy tone. If she was going to do her job right she would like to be treated with respect and not like she was just another girl. " You don't know my name? " The man said with a  smirk on his face. He chuckled softly and looked at the rest of the band who did not seem to laugh. " Alex Turner " The man said. Maya wrote his name down. " Don't you have a name? " Alex asked as he took his sunglasses off his eyes " I'm Maya Goldberg " .
