Look Closer

Start Of Something New

Ashleigh

I am going to be late.

I was on my way to the recording studio, when I came across my favorite flower patch. I regret stopping. Now I am going to be late.

Shit. Oh well nothing I can do about that now.

I started to run to a cab.

I was about to go in, when there was a car speeding over to me. The driver stopped after he saw me. Thank God.

I got in, and told the driver the address, while the speeding car drove off. I could feel my breath getting heavy, and my heart beat getting faster as I sat down, and put on my headphones to listen to the latest pop hits.

—----------------

I arrived 10 minutes late to work. How great! Well, it's not that bad, but I still think that it's important to arrive at work on time.

Joe, my assistant while I record my songs, greeted me "Hey, Ash. You're never late, how did this happen?"

I sighed, trying to catch my breath, and put my bags down on the couch "Sorry, Joe. My alarm rang late, and I was almost going to miss the metro. Gosh, I could have been 30 minutes late if the speeding driver didn't stop for me."

"Well, no biggie. Glad you could make it" he said, and gestured to me to go into my recording area to finish my song.

Joe is always super nice, I'm so lucky to have him as an assistant.

I started to sing the ending to my new song that was called "Give Me A Reason". Today was my last day to work on this song. There were only like 2 minutes left for me to finish it.

I heard Joe say nice things for encouragement like "Nice tune!" and "Great! Keep going!"

I smiled as I sang.

When I was done, I took out my headphones, and got out of the little area to record my song. I could tell that Joe was editing the song, from what he was doing with his laptop.

"That was super good! You're constantly getting fans!" he exclaimed with a smile.

"Thanks, Joe. It was you who helped me through everything. Without you, I could have never gotten this far" I said, as I smiled at him.

He smiled back, and closed his laptop, putting a pause on the editing.

"Glad I could help, it's really fun working with you" he said, making me smile once again.

"Same goes to you" I said, as I got some coffee from the coffee machine.

Joe got out the phone that belonged to the studio, and looked at YouTube "Whoa, look at all those comments and likes blowing up! You're getting simped for already!"

"Really?" I asked

"Yeah! That's 500 bucks right there!" he said

I laughed, and then heard a buzz from my phone. I got it out to see someone with the username 'Shawn_Fudinlo' texted me on discord:

Shawn: Hey! I've been following your account for a while. You're really pretty, thought I'd say Hi!

This text made me smile. Of course, I get compliments all the time. But this one, with a guy who's profile picture shows a really cute man with dirty blonde hair that fell to his forehead, and beautiful blue eyes, I just had to reply!

"Hey, sorry, Joe. A fan texted me, and I really want to reply" I said, sitting down

"Replying to fans now, huh?" he smirked

"Don't get any ideas" I joked, as I started to reply to Shawn:

Ash: Hello! Thanks for the compliment. You're really cute,well only if that is your real profile picture.

Not even 5 minutes later, he replied to me:

Shawn: Haha, thanks! I can tell you're pretty even if I can't see your full face from your willow tree mask. I'm really grateful that you replied. Can we talk more sometime? I can tell you are busy these days.

Ash: Yeah, I pretty much am. I need to publish new songs every month, and it takes like half of it to write the song, edit it, and publish it.

Shawn: I see, can we call sometime, if that's ok? I want to hear your normal voice. I have been listening to your songs, and your voice is AMAZING!

Ash: Haha, sure! If I have time, we can call. And again, thanks for the compliment:! xxx

Shawn: No problem! Well, you have a good day :)

Ash: Thanks, you too!

I put my phone down, and back into my pocket. I noticed that Joe had gone back to editing the song. I told him that I was gonna head out, and he nodded, saying goodbye to me. I smiled and got out of the studio, walking home.
