running from the past

chapter 7

When I woke up the next morning I had gained 50k followers in all! I also had 83 million views! A old class mate of mine posted it and tagged me, that is how people found my socials. I didn't even know how to react to being "famous". Would I like the fame?

Later that day

I went over to Coreys house for supper as promised. The boys gave me a warm welcome. It felt so weird seeing them all at once. I'm used to seeing them behind my TV screen.
Sam: Hey we saw you trending on Twitter!
Jake: Yeah your voice sounded fire!
Colby: you did a really good job singing!
Corey: It sounded beautiful. Ukulele n all
I blushed a little
Yn: Thanks guys. *I picked at my food*
Corey: Are you okay?
Yn: I-I'm just nervous
Colby: Aw how come?
Yn: I don't know.. I guess I was just never really noticed by anyone my whole life growing up and all of a sudden I'm "famous".
Jake: Well this gives you a chance to spit on everyone.. spit on- I need to write that down!
I laughed a little
Yn: Yeah. I was bullied into trying to look good. But I'm still so awkward.
Sam: Hey, I'm awkward. Look where I am now.
Colby: you're looking at a couple of band nerds that sat alone at lunch. Anything can happen.
Sam: Exactly. Just take it all in and think of it as an advantage to work with Corey.
Corey: Yeah. This is a job interview by the way
I giggled
Yn: Hey if my boss brings me Taco Bell on the first day. I think I'll be just fine
Everyone laughed
Jake: you have a good sense of humor too.
Yn: Thanks Jake. I guess I don't really see it until someone points it out. *shrugs*
Corey: I used to be the same way.
We all finished eating then I followed Corey into his studio.
Corey: if you don't mind me asking, why were you singing down there? Like was it for fun?
Yn: No, actually for money
Corey: Oh
It looked as if his heart dropped
Corey: Are you having financial troubles? Because I can pay you early if you want.
Yn: Yeah you're right. I am. *chuckles slowly in pitty* it's really not fun.
Corey: where do you live
Fuck.
Yn: Oh that's not important
Corey: *furrowed brows* well sure it is.
Yn: I-I don't want to make it a big deal.. I always feel like I am bringing attention to myself..
Corey: Yn.. you're not bringing attention to yourself.. I asked you..
Corey placed his hand on my knee. His grin melted my heart.
Yn: I live... in the backseat of my car
I said in a upright manner. Trying to hide back the tears. Coreys grin disappeared and he instantly got a worried look on his face.
Corey: Are you serious?..
He searched my tearful eyes
Yn: Yeah.. now let's get started on the song shall we *puts on headphones*
I leaned back into my chair and stared into space sadly.. Corey leaned over to me.
Corey: Yn. *slides headphones of my head* Why didn't you tell me this?..
Yn: because I didn't want you to worry..
Corey: Well I'm worrying.. do you have any money at all?
Yn: Yes I do. But just not enough to pay rent anywhere at the moment.
Corey: I'm sorry Yn..
Yn: Don't be.. *puts headphones back on*
I gave him an assuring grin. He grinned back.
Corey: show me what you got.
Yn: Okay. Don't judge me too hard
Corey: *laughs* trust me I won't
Yn: I may get a little carried away *laughs*
Corey: *laughs* Yn! You're fine sweetie go ahead
I blushed then made some beats and thought of a small song I once made up. I started harmonizing with the beats and sang softly until the beat dropped I started some what rapping. I mostly sing with my eyes closed but I opened my eyes to see Coreys mouth dropped then he started dancing. I finished up then started laughing.
Corey: *applauds* That was fire! You went ham!!
Yn: *stands up* I tried *shrugs*
Corey: and you can rap too!
Yn: maybe a little *grins*
Corey: Man I'm so lucky to have you as my intern.
I laughed
Corey: but hey I'm gonna help you get more into the music world. It's great! I can see you one day being a well known artist!
Yn: Thanks but I don't know. You have better chances you are great too.
Corey: Well I don't really rap or sing though
Yn: you make beats!
Corey: *scoff* Yeah but your voice can't compare.
I blushed
Yn: you really think so?
Corey: I do think so. You're voice is beautiful. And I loved watching you make lil beets on my computer. It was cute *blushes*
Yn: Well thanks Corey. You're just cute in general
Corey: *blushes* Daww how sweet
I giggled then he did too. Our eyes got caught starring into each other's. Coreys eyes glimpsed at my lips. I found myself getting closer to him. His face started leaning closer then he placed his hand on my neck. He kissed me. Surprised, I closed my eyes. He pulled back and he quietly stared at me then smiled. I smoothly leaned back in almost falling into him. I started moving my lips more. He tilted his head then ran his fingers through the back of my hair. it sent chills down my spine. Not knowing what to do I did the same thing back to him. Our bodies inched closer. I never had this strong of a make out session before but it felt nice. Corey moved his lips to my neck. Once he started kissing my sweet spot it sent more chills down my spine. He was so good at it. I was starting to get turned on. He started sucking on my sweet spot, he left a small hickey. I ran my fingers through his hair then down to his bicep. I grasped it. I pushed him back by his chest. The look I saw in his eyes along with his lip bite gave me the feeling that he was also turned on. We slowed down our patient kiss. Enjoying the feeling more.
I somehow was able to sit on his lap on his beanbag and make out with him. He gripped his hands onto my waist.
Jake: *opens door* Hey how's it go-woah
we both look over wide eyed. i roll off him onto the other side of the beanbag.
Jake: Sorry i didn't knock. i didn't think-
Corey: It's cool. what did you want? *crosses arms*
Jake: *shrugs* Just to see if you guys made any cool beats or something
Corey: Oh cool. yeah we sorta did. as a test round
Yn: yeah nothing good yet.
Jake: Well good luck with your song. and please keep it down..
I blushed so hard that tears came to my eyes.
Corey: Jake? Why the fuck would you say that? that's not funny.
Jake: I was joking Corey, chill.
Corey: Okay, cool.
Jake left the room.
Corey rubbed both eyes with his hand.
Yn: Are you okay?
Corey: Yeah i'm fine. just a little mad that he didn't knock. i'm sorry for letting us get so far..
Yn: Oh no don't be.. i-
Corey: You don't have to be sorry for anything. I invited you over for a job interview. not this..
*stands up*
Yn: Oh.. *stands up* it's okay..
He looked slightly ashamed in himself.
I wanted to make him feel better.
Yn: Hey at least you're a good kisser..
Corey blushed and tried not to grin from what I could tell from his side profile.
Corey: You're not so bad yourself.
He gave me an assuring look, then pulled out his chair to sit down in.
I grinned then sat down in mine.

we worked for about an hour and we ended up making a lot to our new song. although Corey keeps calling it "my song" to me, we made it together.
Corey: Your song is gonna be good I can tell
Yn: Would you stop that *play hits* it's our song!
Corey: Ugh fine okay! *laughs* it's our song.

I kinda did this instinctively- I placed my hand over his that rested on his knee. he looked down at our hands then looked up to me with a soft grin. I smiled back.
Corey: You know what?
Yn: What? *grins*
Corey: You're hired.
Yn: What!? we never really talked about it?
Corey: Good to know. you're still hired *smiles*
Yn: Thank you Corey
I stood up then he did. I walked in for a hug and hugged him tight.
Yn: You have no idea how much this means to me. Thank you so much Corey. *I got a little emotional*
Corey: Of course Yn.
He stroked his hand across the back of my head comforting me.
