"Yo, What's up. I'm Lauren, It's really cool to finally meet you two."
That's all it took.
That's all it took for you to become enamored with the laid-back, free thinking R&B singer/rapper that came in to record some vocals for your new album (mainly on track number six, but you decided after you heard her demo you wanted a little bit of her everywhere). Tony had brought her up as an option after getting word that the two artist you initially invited to the studio, Janet and Toni cancelled on you due to scheduling issues, saying that Hill had a similar voice to what you had described to him in the beginning of penning the trackmonths back.
You agreed rather quickly, wanting more than anything to get everything finished and finalized since it was getting closer and closer to when the album release date was slated, you didn't want the label forcing you to release when you weren't completely done with putting the few touches on it. They tried that shit the last time you were close to the deadline date, and in your opinion it was one of your worst put together album because of that fact.
And now you were starting to believe that Ms. Hill was your last saving grace, had it not been for her agreeing to fit you someone into her busy schedule, you'd probably still be stuck making cold calls around to other artists management for a feature.
Now here she was, in a New York cap, glasses on her face her locs tucked hidden under the accessory, jean jacket hanging off her shoulder with a white halter top on her slim frame. Exactly how you pictured her to dress, casual yet, so New Jersey with it. and you couldn't take your eyes off the Oh so talented beauty. Of course a voice as pretty as her's would be housed by someone that looked like that.
"'It's a pleasure to meet you too, Ms. Hill. Call me Y/N, please," You greeted, holding your ringed hand out for her to shake, well aware that she definitely felt how shaky your hands were. You remind yourself you needed to be as professional as possible, this was strictly a meeting about music and nothing else.
All Lauryn did was smile back at you, taking your offered hand.
You knew you had let the interaction go on a bit too long by the time Tony had to clear his throat from beside you, giving you a stern side eye. Causing you to straightened up, shaking your head with an awkward grin on your face.
"You can go on inside the booth, Lauryn. I know we already discussed a bit of what Y/N's looking for, but we'll play the track for you as it is so you can get a feel for it. Let me know whenever you're ready," Tony directed, gesturing for Lauryn to go ahead.
You nervously moved your hand to the back of your neck, a shy smile on your lips as a small sure left her before she turned her back to you to go into the booth. She slipped inside, giving the pair of you two a tiny head nod before Tony pressed play and the song played through the large headphones over her ears.
