Ashlyn Richardson was sitting in her home in Los Angeles with her cat, Morris an orange tabby she's had for about 2 years now, at her Baby Grand piano, playing the same notes over and over.
"Oh oh, oh oh, ooh" she harmonized with the piano before looking down at her cat who was staring back.
"What d'ya think Morris?" she asked, her Irish accent shining through her trained american accent.
The cat only meows back before running off the piano bench and to his favorite spot on the back of the couch to watch the birds outside. She huffed before grabbing her phone to dial her close friend, Finneas. She awaited the American's voice to ring through her phone and put it on speaker, placing the phone onto the piano before she heard his voice with his sister Billie's as well.
"Well, well, well if it isn't my favorite gal" he said into the phone
"Hey babe!" Billie yelled in the background
"Hey you two, I was just calling to see if you'll give me feedback on this piano riff I have" she said into the phone, snickering at Billie's pet name for her
"Sure" the siblings said and got comfortable in their home studio at Finneas' house.
She nodded to herself before starting to play the riff that was stuck in her head, quietly singing the 'oh oh, oh oh, ooh'. She stopped after a minute, nervously awaiting her producer and best friend's opinions.
"Ok, babe, thats fuckin' sick, do you have lyrics besides the oh's?" Billie said happily, Ashlyn hearing the shuffling of Billie stealing Finneas' phone off the soundboard.
"I don't but I've been thinking about them since I sat down, d'ya think it'd be petty to write about Niall after 5 years?" Ashlyn asked, getting up from the piano to find herself some leftover tea bags to make tea.
"Bitch, I still write about Q, fucking Q, and I broke up with him about the time you and Niall did" Billie shrugged "I hear he wrote a song about y-"
"Billie!" Finneas yelled at his sister, scaring Ashlyn with the loud tone.
"What, dude? She should know!" Billie defended in a quieter tone.
"Guys I'm still on the phone" Ashlyn mumbled, trapping the phone between her cheek and shoulder as she went to pour water into her kettle.
"Sorry, Ashe" Finneas mumbled back, glaring at his sister which Ashlyn could hear by Finneas' tone since she's known Finneas since about 2018.
"Stop glaring at Bill, she's just informing me about my A-list celebrity cheating ex" she shrugged "Bill, go ahead and continue mamas"
"As I was saying, he's written a bunch of shit about you in his last album he's about to tour and the one from after your breakup, but the one after was a given cause well, yeah" Billie shrugged, listening to Ashlyn start to make a tea with milk and sugar
"Give me a list then, I wanna hear what he wrote about me" Ashlyn said while she stirred her tea "also, Bill do you wanna go on a vacation with me? I was gonna call you later about it"
"I'll start a playlist and send it to you" Billie replied before Ashlyn heard Shark, Billie's dog, barking at Peaches, Finneas' dog "and yes, I fucking would, all I've been doing is working on the fucking album"
Ashlyn smiled "great, I'll book us tickets, we're going to Ireland and staying at my parent's house in Dublin for my moms birthday"
"Ooo, birthday? Shit I can get drunk there," Billie laughed, knowing that everyone around her knew she didn't drink an ounce of alcohol even if she was of age.
"At least drink a pint of Guinness with me!" Ashlyn exclaimed, "we can get it straight from the source and a picture printed on it"
