Writing is a new hobby I possessed. Some things had a flow, most of the time there's nothing.

It's been a week since the party and I've gotten tons of emails about starting a potential career. If it were to happen, I'd want it to go at a pace so it isn't too much. I left that party with a huge amount of confidence and it hasn't worn off yet.

My amount of followers on practically every social media have increased. There are way more good comments than bad ones. Surprisingly, the haters don't bother me. Tony always hated reading them. He always took criticism in the worst way.

"What are you working on now?" Tony asks looking at the words on my paper. He reads them out loud. "You give me something to think about, that's not the shit in my head."

"A possible line in a chorus, not sure."

I laid down on my stomach contemplating how the first verse should go. Tony gets in the same position as me.

He smiles. "You're so cute when you're focused. Wanna take a break?"

"But I'm on a roll," I pout. "I want to show Vic what I've got and see if this can be possible."

"But I thought you were so overwhelmed about starting something as big as a music career."

"Something's clicked in me I guess."

Suddenly, he closes my journal and takes my pencil away.

"Give it back," I order.

He smirks before throwing it across the room.

"You think that's funny?"

"Come here," His arm wraps around me and I have no choice but to. His nose touches mine and I wait for him to make some kind of move.

"Kiss me," He orders.

"No, you first," I tease.

Suddenly, he places me on top of him, and repeats his order. Giving in, I kiss his cheek. He looks a little bummed.

"You didn't say where," I point out.

He chuckles, "You little smart ass."

"I love you Tony."

He looks happy that I said it first.

"I love you too Audrey."

I was in the shop when a young girl approached me. Then I recognize her as Ingrid, the girl from the dog park. Wow, I haven't been there in awhile.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" I ask.

"I saw you on YouTube with Vic Fuentes. I never knew that was you in the song."

I would've asked her how she found me, but I remember telling her that I worked here.

"Sorry, Vic isn't here. If you want to see-"

"No," She interrupts. "I came to see you."

"Me?" I gesture to myself.

"Yeah," She nods her head. "I just wanted to say that the song is really good. I also was wondering why you haven't came to the park lately."

"Thanks and Daryl died," I sigh.

She frowns. "That's a shame. Do you mind if I ask you a few simple questions?"

"Sure, what for?"

"I'm gonna sound like such a kid, but I have this blog on Tumblr. I've really been wanting it to get big, so I was hoping a little interview with you might help give it the boost it needs."

"I'm not that special, but why not?"

Since she came around my lunch time, we sit in the food court. The questions like she said were very simple. They were more like 'get to know you' questions. When she finished, we take a quick photo together. She thanks me before leaving.

I enter back to the into shop and see that it's busy. Maybe I should've just stayed here.

"A fan of yours?" Lynn asks approaching me.

"Believe it or not, she's a friend."

She giggles, "Okay pedophile. What are you doing after work? I don't want to go home right away."

"I think it's time you met Tony. What do you think?" I ask already knowing her answer. Ever since I told her the secret I knew she has been dying to meet him.

"I think it's the perfect time."

Lynn and I enter my house and I can immediately feel Tony's presence. He's probably being shy.

"You can come out," I tell him. "She knows."

He emerges and I watch as Lynn's eyes glisten. Suddenly, she's full on crying. Tony immediately hugs her. It's a bittersweet moment. It also reminded me just how lucky I am to have him.

"Sorry," Lynn mutters pulling away. "I'm such a huge fan and I told myself I wouldn't cry." She wipes her eyes. "This is absolutely nuts, in the best way."

"Hey," He consoles. "It's okay. So, you're the famous Lynn."

She smiles. "Guess so."

At this point I interfere. "You guys want to watch a movie? I can make popcorn with nutella."

They both nod their heads and I make my way into the kitchen. After doing that small task, I carry the huge bowl to the living room. I recently bought Big Hero 6. Lynn sits at the end of the couch while I sit in the middle, between them both.

Halfway into the movie, I'm hooked. I already cried twice and am agonizing to see what's going to happen next. Tony glances at me numerous times, but I don't take my eyes off the screen. He usually did this whenever we watched something. It would usually lead to other things, but things won't happen while Lynn is here.

Soon the movie ends and I wipe my eyes. Lynn and Tony look at me, laughing.

"What?! It was an amazing movie," I protest.

"You're such a baby." Lynn smiles pinching my cheek.

Suddenly, a phone goes off. Lynn digs into her pocket and looks at the screen. "Alexa," She mouths before getting up and going out into the hall.

"So, did you like the movie?" I ask Tony.

"I don't know, I was too distracted."

I roll my eyes, knowing what he would say if I asked why. A minute later Lynn comes back into the living room, announcing that she has to leave. I walk her out and she gives me a hug once we reach her car.

"You have no idea how much this day meant to me," Lynn says holding me tighter.

"It was my pleasure. Thanks for always being there."

She breaks the hug. "No problem. See you later."

I wave as she gets into her car. Once I get back inside, the vibe is different. I lock the door and hear a voice.

"I thought she'd never leave."

Kyle.
