"You cold? Need anything before we start?" He asked.

"My anxiety to come down and a Smirnoff." I joked.

"I have weed and I might have some girly drink for you." He replied as he set some equipment down.

"Ryan I'm joking. I can't smoke anyhow. Not my cup of tea. But I'll take you up in a girly drink." I said with a smile.

He returned a minute later with a smirnoff for me and he opened up his laptop.

"Do you have the beat for it already?" I asked.

"Its almost done. I just need to record the vocals for it. Thats why you're gonna come in handy. You can tell me if its good or not." He said as he looked right through me.

"You do the big stuff first and let me hear it, then I can help with background vocals." I said as I got more comfortable in his couch, sipping on my drink. He gave me a small smile before he messed with his laptop and mic.

"One thing and one thing only. Try not to be loud, in fact you kinda gotta be silent while I sing. This thing picks up sound easily." He said as he looked over to me. I nodded and chugged my drink, setting it down before looking over at him as he pressed record. I sat there as silently as I could as he rapped and sang. I couldn't hear any beat as it was playing in his headphones, all I heard was his voice. It played in my mind til I could no longer think of anything else.

Sooner than expected he tapped my knee and handed me the headphones.

"Tell me what you think. Whats it need, if it need recorded again, whatever!" He said as he excitedly let go. I watched as the smile grew on his face as I put them on and he pressed play. The song alone was gonna be a huge hit. But it was still lacking some vocals for sure. As the song came to its end I tugged him toward me as I leaned forward toward the mic.

"It needs something almost like a hum and then you need to double your vocals on the chorus the second time. Do you think you can match my voice enough? Or we can even distort mine some." I said as I looked at him. We were mere inches away from each other. So close I could smell the tobacco on his breath.

"Yeah.. I can do that." He said so low it was almost a whisper. I took a deep breath and watched as he hit record. He started the second chorus and soon he quit recording.

"How do you think the humming should go and where?" He asked.

"Chorus only." I replied as I began humming the little tune in my head. Before long he tried harmonizing with me and it worked out perfectly.

"Play it back I wanna hear it." I said as excitement grew in me in more than one way. I watched as he played it back and we listened to it.

"Play it at a deeper tone!" I said and he quickly lowered the tone. "There. Right there is perfect." I said as I looked over to him. I saw the smile and I couldn't help but to smile back at him.

"Shiiiiit. That sounds fucking awesome!" He said as he pulled me into a tight hug. As we released my cheeks turned red and he noticed and gave me a look of lust.

"Well I gotta send this to my guy to put it together fully and then I can release it in a week. Thank you for helping." He said as he placed his hand on my knee.
