Zara's POV
Tyler: Yeah... yeah this is cool but I think it needs a brighter color though... What do you think, Ra?
Zara: (looks up from laptop) Think about what?
Tyler: This shoes color way. I think it needs a brighter color.
Zara: (goes back to her laptop) Do yellow. That's as bright as I can think of.
Tyler: We already did that though...
Zara: (shrugs) Any neons? Do neon pink, orange or better yet...
I walked over to the table, took some of the color samples that were spread across it, and paired them together.
Zara: That! With the leopard spots that you've been doing on everything.
Tyler: (scoffs) I haven't put that shit on everything! You're being dramatic!
Zara: Oh, is that so?
I went through the photos on my phone and pulled up the evidence to support my claim.
Zara: Right here you have a silk scarf with that print... (swipes) Here you have trunks with that print (swipes) Ties. (swipes) Shirts...
Tyler: Alright! I get it! Damn.
Zara: (smirks) Never try me like that again. I think you fail to realize I have just as much access to everything that you do.
Tyler: Whatever... These color ways are sick though. I love how you think.
I found myself flustered for a moment. I know he didn't mean it in a romantic way or anything, but hearing him say "Love" regarding me definitely had me feeling a way.
Tyler: (waves hand in her face) Yo!
Zara: (jumps) Huh?
Tyler: I said thank you like five times. Are you okay?
Zara: Pfft. I'm great. Are you okay?
Tyler: (chuckles) Nigga, you're being weird.
Zara: I am so not being... When are you planning to drop these, anyway?
Tyler: The goal is July. No earlier and no later.
Zara: Do you always have to be so punctual with everything?
Tyler: Uhh... Yeah.
Zara: (furrows brows) Hey... have you seen any of the posts going around about this next album being called " Welcome to the Disco"?
Tyler: What? Let me see that.
He took the phone out of my hands and looked through the thousands of tweets around the topic.
Tyler: (sighs) I love my fans, but sometimes I think they need professional help.
Zara: So...? What now?
He handed my phone back to me and opened his laptop.
Tyler: I gotta address it. Not only are the fans spreading this around, but now verified accounts are too.
Moments later, I got a notification and looked to see that it was two tweets that Tyler had just published.
