The Singer (Lady Gaga x Reader) [ON HIATUS]

Stefani POV

It's been about a week since we came back from L.A. It's been a bit stressful at work since I am trying to finish my new album as soon as possible and only have a few more songs to go. And while I am trying to finish the album, we have been starting to plan the tour in greater detail, and in my free time, I'm mostly occupied with writing for the movie.

Y/n has been very supportive of me for the past week but I can see it's getting to her. We rarely have time for each other and that fucking annoys me. We only get to see each other a few hours on the weekend and we mostly spend these hours cuddled up on a couch or in bed. I really cherish the time we have and I feel the most relaxed ever in her arms.

"What's on your mind, darling?" She asks me as we lay on my couch. My laptop is propped up in front of me and I'm typing away, answering some mails regarding the movie. The script is sent over in a few weeks and I can't wait to read it but that means more work for me and less time for the two of us together.

"Yeah, I- I'm just finishing this up real quick." I sigh frowning. "Hey, it's okay, sweetheart. You're a busy person." Y/n tries to assure me, but I still feel guilty.

"I'm sorry," I say, closing the laptop and placing it on the coffee table. "It's just that work has been a lot this week and it's continuing to get more and more. I just feel like I'm putting work first, even though you should be my number one priority. I feel like I'm pushing you to support me." I explain, pinching the bridge of my nose in thought.

I feel Y/n's hand on my shoulder as she scoots closer to me. "Honey, look at me." She prompts and I look up, meeting her y/e/c eyes. Damn, I could get lost in these eyes a hundred million times. Her eyes are so beautiful, they have this calmness and warmth to them. Looking into her eyes always makes me feel safe.

"It's okay. You're a busy person. I knew what I had gotten myself into when I said I was all in." She tries to explain, a soft expression on her face. Even when we are talking about this she seems to keep her cool. It's truly admirable.

"But are you sure this is healthy for you? I mean once this planning is over, I'll have to leave for the tour and this is just going to make it messy." I tell her. "Well, I've had this idea..." She starts to brainstorm, instantly gaining my interest.

"You've been thinking?" I ask, needing her to continue. "I've been thinking if I could maybe, if you agree to this, go on tour with you. Well, travel with you. I'm sure Jonah could find the one or other competition en route and I could maybe I could make a few projects happen at the one or other youth sports club. And if they are not too busy, we could get your Foundation to be a part of it as well. This way we can both make public appearances and provide help to others at the same time. Jonah has been bugging me about making more public appearances recently, so two flies, one rock." I love how she rambles when she's enthusiastic about things and it's absolutely adorable how she gets all excited about it.

To be honest, I quite like the idea of that. So we could be together for the tour and help people as well. It's gonna be a bit stressful as well, but we would be in it together. "I like the idea, we should totally do that." I easily agree, a smile forming on my face.

"Come here." Y/n prompts and I follow her request, moving into her open arms. "I know the next few months are going to be stressful, I know that. But we will figure this out." She tries to assure me and it seems to work.

"I love you," I tell Y/n as I melt into the comfort of her arms. "I love you too, darling. So much." She replies and kisses my head, holding me close.

The next day I'm back at the studio again, finishing a song for the movie with Mark. This project has been my priority for the last one and a half months or so and I can't wait for us to start filming in December. I also had a call with Todd Phillips last week, saying that he needs me for another screen test since he has added another role to the movie, so I'll be seeing him in about a week for that test.

I hate having unfinished things going on so when I am not at the studio recording and writing for Joker: Folie à Deux, I'm at home, working on my current album. With this one, I'm gonna try something that I haven't done yet. Well, at least not entirely. I want to go back a bit and bring some of my old vibe back, but I also want to make it a bit of a rock record.

I've been working on this record for quite some time but it was hard to find time for it since I was a bit preoccupied with House of Gucci, press, and planning the tour. Not to mention, that once I am on tour again, I won't be working on it a lot either. I'm passionate about this one and when we recorded the first two songs I was a bit overwhelmed about how it actually felt like I was time-traveling.

Y/n is out doing something with Avery today, and with her looking after me whenever she can, I think it is a good distraction for her. She likes to help everyone in any way possible, but I think that sometimes gets in the way of her looking after herself.

Surprisingly, I'm home an hour early, so I decide to take some time for myself, taking a long bath while enjoying a book I stole from Y/n's library and a glass of red wine.

My calm moment is destroyed by my phone ringing and as soon as I see the number, I roll my eyes and decline the call. It's Micheal. He's been trying to call me over the last week, but I don't want to talk to him. I guess he has seen the interviews, but I couldn't care less. I haven't blocked his number yet because I am more than sure that if I did and he found out, he would be standing at my door the day after.  Or even worse, he'd be standing at Y/n's door, which I do think he would have the audacity to do.

A/N First chapter, what do we think? See you next week

Love y'all
