Someone You Really Love // A Damon Albarn Romance

13 - On the Record

Maryanne POV

My heart was beating madly in my chest, granted I'd just taken a little bump to lift me up...I was on the way to Damon's home studio where he and the guys would record demos before bringing to the studio.

He had called me earlier that morning to say he'd come up with some ideas for a potential song and would love to hear my thoughts. I was honestly flattered and agreed straight away.

I knocked on the door of this gorgeous apartment in leafy suburb of Kensington in Central London.

"Morning darling, aren't we looking lovely today...", he greeted with a wink and kissed my cheek. "Oh shushhh, but thanks..you always look great", I giggled back.

"Come on in I'll show you around, this is actually my home as well as a studio by the way but make yourself at home and feel free to use anything here," his voice carried down the hall where he had walked ahead. "Alex, Dave and Graham aren't due here until tonight so we've got loads of time to get settled and go over bits", he continued.

The apartment was amazing, top floor and had wonderful views of the whole area. Lots of vintage furniture and vinyls lying everywhere but I loved it, matched his personality for sure.

Gesturing to the studio Damon announces, "...and this is where the magic happens...the best room of the fucking apartment. Takes a lot of pressure off having to go into the main studios so whenever I have an idea I can just come in here...brilliant right? Of course, we'll be the makers of said magic haha", he added with a nudge to my side.

After setting my bag down and using the toilet I came out, walked down the corridor to where there's a mirror next to the door and fluffed my hair out. Walking into the studio he was already sitting at the mixing desk and there was a chair next to him which I went over to and plonked myself onto it.

"You know... I know things might seem overwhelming at the moment and a lot to take in but we'll take good care of you and we all agree that you'll be a superb addition to the tour family and are just as excited as you are.", Damon rambled.

"Thank you, this really means a lot that you have this much faith in me to take a gamble like that." I really meant what I said, it's a huge honour for them to consider me in this way and I wasn't going to disappoint them.

As Damon listened I could see he was going through some inner battle with himself, but before I could question more of what I was seeing he very cautiously was leaning in, he was going to kiss me...

I was taken aback by his move but also I didn't try to stop it. Our lips met, and an indescribable feeling and I pressed against his harder. Something about him just really really drew me in and I was powerless to stop it as cheesey as it sounds.

As things were heating up Damon lifted me onto the mixing desk and began lifting up my sweater and I helped him by throwing it onto the floor.

"Oh fuck..." Damon could only just get out. He was incredibly turned on at this moment seeing as Maryanne was literally wrapped around him in just her bra and panties now, but before they could get any further the door bell went and Graham's voice came calling through , "oi open the door you bastard it's pouring down out here!"

"Just coming!" Damon breathlessly shouted back and they both tried to make themselves presentable before going to let the guys in.
