Grace Notes

Chapter 46

Lola's POV-

The next week seemed to go by a lot quicker than I wanted it to. I tried to savor every single second I would have with Harry, although it was pretty difficult when he was spending about ten hours a day at the studio trying to crunch out some writing and recording. They were trying to push out an album by the end of the month, which seemed incredibly impossible, however, according to Valentino, it would be 'a quick process since Harry has more than enough material to record a whole album.'

I went to the studio a few times, even brought my computer so I could join my classes online. To be honest, it got pretty boring. Even Lorenzo was tied up trying to help get the recordings done and out of the way, so I was pretty much just drinking coffee or strolling in the courtyard. Towards the end of the week, I decided just to spend time at the apartment while he was gone.

Then Friday rolled around-the day before Harry was set to leave. They had some kind of party planned at the studio, which of course I didn't know about until a couple hours before it was set to start, so I pretty much had to scramble to get my makeup and hair done, along with finding a formal dress before I was ready to go.

Honestly, a Lyft, or even an Uber would have been nice, but I had to suck it up and drive in heels.

When I arrived, I could already see a ton of people standing around-wine glasses and champagne flutes in their hands. I quickly parked and made my way up to the door, scanning each face in search of my boyfriend.

Though I didn't find him until I was inside. He was standing, in a suit, next to Valentino laughing away at God knows what.

I was about to head up to him when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and met Lorenzo's blue eyes.

"Lola, I'd like for you to meet Giana. Giana, this is Lola"

The girl beside him was absolutely stunning-jet black hair that reached her butt and flawless makeup. Her dress was red sequined-sparkling against the overhead lights. If Disney princess' were real, she would fit right in. It seemed like a level of beauty that was unreachable. He was a lucky man to say the least.

"Nice to meet you" I outstretched my hand towards her, which she lightly shook.

"Nice to meet you, too! I've heard so much about you" it sounded a little passive, although I dismissed it.

"I've heard so much about you, too" I smiled.

Her head tilted as if she didn't believe me.

"Did you just get here?" Lorenzo asked, pulling my eyes away from his woman.

I nodded. "Yeah, I was a little late because I didn't know this was going on until approximately three hours ago"

"You mean Harry didn't tell you?"

I shook my head. "No. It's fine, though. Did you guys finish the recordings?"

"For the most part. There's space for a couple more songs. Your mans said he wanted to wait until the right moment came along to add what it was missing."

"I can't imagine there being more missing"

"Seriously" he sighed. "He's got that whole notebook basically full. Some of the songs he didn't want on the album, though"

I thought about Lights Up.

"Did he record Lights Up?" I asked.

"He-"

"Lola!"

I was cut off by two arms wrapping around me. Jumping, I whizzed around and Harry was right there.
