Neelam drove us to the restaurant they usually eat in. She parked her car and we entered the restaurant. Jack started looking around for a place to sit as the restaurant was pretty crowded. We sat down in the corner of it as Jack didn't want to be accosted by his fans at any point tonight. Urban and I sat next to each other as Neelam and Jack sat in front of us. After a second we started ordering food. I've never been here so I let Urban pick something for me. He assured me that I was going to like it which made me giggle seeing him happy to help.

"So Sheila, how long you've been workin' for New Balance?" Asked me Neelam as we were all done with our orders.

"Less than a year," I replied. "But I also do other side things whenever I get an offer from certain companies or anythin'," Neelam nodded her head smiling. "How bout yall? You've known each other for long?" I asked directing it to the guys too.

"Yeah, a couple of years now," Jack spoke up. "I mean, Urb and I, we've been friends since high school." He added making Urban look up at him from his phone hearing his name. "But Neelam and I, we've been workin' together for years so I'm not even sure how long it's already been." She confirmed.

After a few minutes of our conversation, our food already came. The waitress handed me my drink so I carefully put it down on the table.
Jack looked at me suggesting that I not spill it on him as he was sitting in front of me.

"You betta be careful," He said grinning. I looked at him with a serious expression on my face making him chuckle. I tried not to laugh at myself too as he mentioned yesterday's embarrassing situation.

"Yeah for real, on our way back home my whole car smelled like that mojito," Urban added jokingly while having his mouth full of pasta that he ordered making all of us laugh.

"So are you guys living in Louisville currently?" I asked directing the question to Urb and Jack as Neelam went to the bathroom.

"I just moved back into my apartment here since I had a lot goin' on with music for those couple of months, so I'm just chillin' right now." Jack glanced at me as he answered my question. Urban agreed with Jack saying that it's the same for him now.

"My boy dropped an album in April," Urban added making it clear what Jack's been busy about.

"Really? Didn't know.." I confirmed.

"You prolly' didn't even know who he was until yesterday did you?" Urb joked making Jack chuckle.

"I actually did, I'm just not.. up to date with his work.." I rolled my eyes at Urban's comment taking a sip of my drink. Jack jokingly shook his head in disappointment after hearing that I don't follow his music which made me giggle. "Okay, I promise when I get back home I'll listen to it," I assured him even tho I knew he was joking. I did know who he was but I never really thought about going deep into his career.

After an hour we were all done so before leaving Jack and I had a little fight over who's gonna pay. He wouldn't let it go so finally I let him pay for me which I really appreciated. Neelam drove me to the New Balance's main office where I left my car before. She hugged me as we were saying goodbye to each other. Urban once again made a joke about me spilling drinks on people which fortunately didn't happen today and Jack told me to drive safe. I waved at them as I was already in the car and started driving to my apartment. I parked my car and took an elevator to the 7th floor where my apartment was located. Keys fell out of my bag as I was trying to get them to unlock the door. I put my belongings in the hallway and headed to the bathroom to take a quick shower. After that, I wrapped myself in a towel and went to my wardrobe to get a random shirt that I usually sleep in. I dried my hair and jumped into bed. I plugged my iPhone into a charger and searched 'Jack Harlow' on spotify so I could listen to his music as I promised even tho I knew some of his songs. Just as I was trying to listen to his previous album 'Jackman' my phone beeped twice so I took it just to see two notifications from instagram.

@jackharlow started following you.
@urbanwyatt started following you.

I smiled to myself knowing that probably Neelam gave them my instagram account as I told her it while we were filming. I followed them back and decided to go through Jack's account. His latest post was a photo dump of him in Louisville from a week ago. 'You wanna give me a taste but don't know how to do it without feeling like one of many' Caption said. As I was scrolling through his posts another notification came up on my screen.

@jackharlow liked your post.

I giggled seeing him like my previous post. It was a photo of me and Aaliyah holding New Balance shoes and sticking our tongues out. Her boyfriend took it for us two weeks ago for an advertisement.

@jackharlow liked your post.

Another notification came up from Jack but this time he liked a photo from a year ago when I was in Italy with my girls celebrating my birthday in July. We were all in bathing suits standing in the sea with our legs submerged up to our knees.
I went back to listening to his album while smiling to myself seeing him like my posts even though it didn't seem like a big deal.
