Cymphonique POV

The next day I meet with Jacob at the studio with a music producer. He said that we wants to make a track. Can't see why it's that important to him. Yet, I finally agreed with him on my terms. If the song is to come out, I want it to come out when we're known, firstly.

He agrees to that, which, will be no time all anyways. I see what happens wit' my cousin all the time. I'm not trying to have paparazzi's follow me. It's not a good feelin' and the kind of temper I have definitely won't work. I kno' eventually I'll have to deal.

Until then I don't have to put up wit' now and certainly wit' Bahja. All they gonna do is blame me fo' their fall out. Say I'ma home wrecker when I wasn't in the picture anyway. Yeah people lie but I don't need that reputation. Then again it would be nice to not sneak.

Jacob gives me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. I couldn't help but to blush at that. He begins talking to the producer while he walks me into the booth. He mentioned something about chorus. I guess we're just recording the chorus.

Jacob walks in the booth with me and stands behind me. "now... Cym, were just recording what I wrote. It's right there on the stand, so I'll go over it and you can just repeat."

"Okay," I say as he grips his arms tighter around my waist.

"We ready." Jacob says to the producer.

[Chorus]

Its something bout' you babe
Something bout' you babe
Got my heart skippin' a beat
Don't know what's got into me
Everytime I'm with you
There is something
Its something bout' you babe'
Something bout' you babe
Always got me hypnotized
Must be something in your eyes
Got me hooked on you
There is something

***

Somethin' bout' you babe
Somethin' bout' you babe
Ooohhhhh... oohhhh-oohhhh-oohhhh--oohhhh-oohhhh-oohhhh
Somethin'
There is somethin'...
Baby

"So what now?" I ask him.

"Kiss." Jacob said and I laugh. "seriously, I should finish the song."

"Writin' the lyrics?" I ask him. He just nods his head. "why can't I help?"

"Cym, have you ever written a song?" Jacob asks me and I shake my head.

"This comin' from somebody who wants me to sing onna song wit' him." I mock him.

"You think it's that easy than come do it then." Jacob said and I slide the chair towards him.

"Okay," is all I say. "It's not hard."

"Mhm, sure. Just write." Jacob says.

"Anyway, my championship is three weeks away. Are you comin'?" I ask him. "I could earn a scholarship and even more get to play in the NBA."

"That's great! But," he pauses and I chime in.

"Don't tell me you ain't gonna make it. This is really important to me and I need fo' you to be there." I said to him.

"I didn't say that, but, I am suppose to be gone on tour though." Jacob said and I frown. "Sorry."

"Yeah, whatever." I shrug my shoulders. "if I was that Bahja hoe you woulda been there."

"Whoa, whoa, and whoa. Bahja? Why are you even bringin' her up? I care... I'll be there." Jacob said.

"Really," I say, poutin'. "Don't feel like you gotta come---"

"I said I'll be there." Jacob said wit' a smile.

Eventually me and Jacob finish the song and begin recording it together.

"Ready?" Jacob asks me.

"Yeah." I said.

I'm young but I
Know what I want
It wasn't hard for me to figure it out
Knew you were something different
Way you caught my attention
You really changed me baby

I wasn't even lookin' but then I saw you
You kind of made it hard for me to pass by you
You cancel what I expected boy but I'm not complainin'
Cuz' I'm so into you baby

[Chorus]
Its something bout' you babe
Something bout' you babe
Got my heart skippin' a beat
Don't know what's got into me
Everytime I'm with you
There is something
Its something bout' you babe'
Something bout' you babe
Always got me hypnotized
Must be something in your eyes
Got me hooked on you
There is something

Never trippin' off all these silly girls
Even though they're all chasin' after you
But I ain't ma at em'
Look at you boy
You got everything a girl could want

I wasn't evern lookin' but then I saw you
You kind of made it hard for me to pass by you
You cancel what I expected boy but I'm not complainin'
Cuz' I'm so in to you baby

You're the best friend that I never thought I had
There's no questions or mistakes crossin' paths
Me and you together are a dream come true
Something bout' you boo
So many guys in the world
But ain't none of them like you no
Said there's something bout' you
And I hope you feel it too
There's no limit to the way I'm feeling

[Repeat Chorus]

Somethin' bout' you babe
Somethin' bout' you babe
Ooohhhhh... oohhhh-oohhhh-oohhhh--oohhhh-oohhhh-oohhhh
Somethin'
There is somethin'...
Baby
